 “When a man has fulfilled all four of these requisites—to be wide awake, to have fear, respect, and absolute assurance—there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his actions lose the blundering quality of the acts of a fool. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that.”
  Carlos Castaneda

 [9. The Doors.] They had the complete package: musicianship, lyrics, songs and stage presence, ... But more importantly, their music has far transcended the band (even with the cult-psycho-martyr status of Jim Morrison) and stands the test of time. No one was doing, or will ever do, what The Doors did. They were the original alternative band, and that makes them the greatest American band.

 [About the only thing all players seem to agree on is that it's better than it was in the preseason, when refs were calling everything and some games turned into free-throw contests.] I really haven't noticed much difference, ... Sometimes they call it, and sometimes they don't. I'm just glad they're not calling [as many fouls as] they did in the preseason. Those games were taking forever.

 [According to a profile in Christianity Today entitled] The Positive Prophet, ... I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a shit. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.

 [Also Monday, the host committee for the Republican National Convention in New York is releasing new TV and radio ads featuring former Mayor Ed Koch and Minnie, a 7,500-pound elephant.] While they're here, make nice, ... Volunteer to show 'em the ropes. They won't know uptown from downtown. They've never ordered pizza by the slice. They don't know from alternate-side-of-the-street parking.

 [But stock strategists remained fairly optimistic, that the volatility that sent blue chips within grasp of a three-month low last week created buying opportunities.] The particular bullish case for the blue chips here is that they've really had a correction over the last month or so, ... I look for the blue chips to catch up with the rest of the market and make new highs later this month.

 [Devils netminder Martin Brodeur said the team is prepared for Stevens' absence, having learned how to play without him for much of the last NHL season.] We got used to not having him around, ... We really have a sense of what it's going to be like without Scott Stevens. At the same time we're going to have to learn about life without Scott Niedermayer, too. It's two tough blows to take...

 [IETF members differ in their views on the impact of problems with RRP.] It's a very serious threat, ... My two main concerns about RRP are that [firstly] there is a privacy exposure problem. Anybody can get in that database and get all kinds of information about the domain-name holder. The other concern is domain-name slamming. They just don't have any real good security on that protocol.

 [In its effort to push through reforms, the automaker's management draws more support from Lower Saxony, which now has a conservative premier, Christian Wulff. He appears concerned about the company's long-term prospects as well as jobs for his state.] We can't be a toy for politicians that play (with) us once in awhile, ... Governments come and go but we have to be there for the long run.

 [It's appropriate that this symbol of American strength and resilience and optimism has come to rest at the library that bears Ronald Reagan's name. After all, it was President Reagan who always reminded us that when we set our eyes on the horizon, every day is] morning in America. ... The Reagan Library is a place the sun will never set on the principles that Ronnie believed in so deeply.
  Nancy Reagan

 [Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that he would oppose the nominee but would not mount a filibuster to prevent his confirmation.] In the fullness of time, he may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court justice, ... But I have reluctantly concluded that this nominee has not satisfied the high burden that would justify my voting for his confirmation based on the current record.

 [Starter Ramon Ortiz and the Reds go to a 2:15 p.m. arbitration hearing on Friday. The Reds have offered Ortiz, obtained in a Dec. 13 trade for Dustin Moseley , $3.45 million. Ortiz has countered with $4 million. Ortiz said he has left the hearing to his agent and won't take it personally.] That's easy to say if you've never had an arbitration hearing, ... But it is not a pleasant process.

 [The center also has 300 gallons of water stocked up and a generator to provide electricity.] I anticipate Lufkin to lose power on Sunday, so we are preparing be without power, ... A nursing home must maintain electricity as long as possible because many of our patients are on oxygen concentrators and feeding tubes that depend on electricity to run. And there are a lot of meals to prepare.

 [The Oakdale freshmen look to improve on their eighthgrade season where they won less than a handful of games. Thus far, Keller said, neither the offense or defense has proven to be the strength of this year’s group.] I can’t get a good read on them, ... Some days the offense looks good. Some days it’s the defense. One thing I’d like to see is being more consistent in both aspects.

 [Though publicly backing the EPO test, Wada is also funding research to develop a more clear-cut method of detection.] This is not like a pregnancy test, where you are either pregnant or you're not, ... It has to be prepared carefully and interpreted by an expert, who can mostly call it, I believe. But it is definitely skill-based, and that is why Wada is looking for a more clear-cut test.
