 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' places an unnecessary burden on American taxpayers by asking them to fund a discriminatory law that hurts military readiness. The choice is clear: spend $364 million on firing patriotic Americans or spend the same amount on three dozen Blackhawk helicopters, 4,000 sidewinder missiles, or enough body armor vests to outfit the entire American fighting force in Iraq. Our priority should always be defense and national security. Congress should repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' immediately and fund real priorities in the war on terror.

 [Australia have been extraordinarily adept at keeping players fit, their injury management having been as far ahead of the rest of the world as their batting, bowling and fielding. The best-known monument to Errol Alcott is Steve Waugh's comeback hundred at the Oval four years ago, but the physiotherapist's life's work has been in preventive medicine. Alcott was the first, for instance, to insist on ice baths for players at the end of each day's play to aid recovery.] When I first started they put the beers on ice, ... Now they put the players on ice.

 [By going public and appointing a new board, with independent directors making up a majority, MasterCard may be trying to be viewed as more independent and to steer some potential litigation costs away from its member banks, said Kenneth Posner, an analyst with Morgan Stanley.] Payment associations have market power because they are owned and controlled by groups of banks, ... The public MasterCard would have independent directors and a governance system that would make it clear that it would not be attempting to collude in setting an interchange fee.

 [Commissioner Gary Bettman , in an online chat with fans, said that reaching a new collective agreement with the players] is not about compromise. It's about doing the right thing to ensure that the game and the franchises are healthy. ... It's unfortunate that [he] does not see compromise as the way to get a deal done. That attitude is what has prevented us from having any meaningful negotiations that can lead to a fair deal for both sides. It is disturbing that their only response is to say they have all the solutions and there can be no compromise.

 [JERUSALEM, Sept. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli defense minister Shaul Mofaz on Thursday sharply criticized former finance minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying his plan to move up the date of the Likud party leader elections could destroy the party, local newspaper Haaretz reported on its online edition.] The economic policies of the last few years, brought forth by Benjamin Netanyahu, succeeded in damaging the Likud, ... The poverty, the rift in the party and the blows to the poorer classes - these struck every corner and thousands of voters of the Likud.

 [Leo] left a wonderful legacy. He was always involved in every aspect of community. He was wonderfully community-oriented and he raised a family that way. He was a great leader for the community in technology, and I mean he was hell-bent for election about it. He was an excellent administrator, very organized. He saw to it that things got done and a lot of the time, he did it himself. He had a wonderful sense of humor and he was wonderful to work with. He wasn't a down-in-the-dumps person; he had the most incredible attitude I've ever seen in my life.

 [Tips From a Lunchtime Expert According to lunchtime expert Miriam Jacobs, author of The Brown Bag Lunch Cookbook and The School Lunch Box Cookbook, it is important to make time in the day for a delicious and nutritious lunch.] The lunch break helps you stay focused and energized throughout the day by recharging both your body and your mind, ... When you plan your lunch you have the opportunity to be healthy and nutritious, but you can also be creative with your lunchtime options and activities so that you will look forward to and make time for lunch.

 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, / (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, / And thirty and six thousand beeves, / And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, / And sixteen thousand persons;) / Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin, / And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; / And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; / And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

 Back in the middle to late 1980s, Marge and I were having dinner in the press dining room, and we just started talking about the old Bradley days. She said, 'Ralph, just be sure you let your sense of humor come through.' It was like a light bulb went off. I became determined to just relax, just be myself. And working with Walton later helped because Bill was so off-the-wall, he took some of the chains off. He allowed you to realize you don't have to fit into this stereotype, the boring mold that so many guys can get caught up with. Humor really helps.

 Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie. Sometimes black humor is the only kind we can summon, but even dark laughter can sustain.

 Every gang member that I have worked with is enamored by the hip-hop culture and the lifestyles of this genre's rich and famous. It is common for youths to emulate these rap artists by wearing similar gangster-type clothing. This alone is not concerning. The concern evolves when the behavior and attitude begin to go as south as the pants. Certain rap artists tout their criminal history, gang affiliation and their fortune of surviving gun battles. It becomes a concern, when dealing with a very troubled individual that is consumed by the gang mentality.

 I don't know if experience is a huge factor. I just think that the fear of the unknown is gone. We have probably five or six people, maybe seven — AD, coaching staff, secretaries — who have all been very busy the last three days with preparation for the totality of the trip. So it helps as far as organizational skills go. You know what to expect. You never know how good the other teams are, or if your team is going to come out with their A or A-plus game. So it helps as far as organization goes, but I don't know if it helps as far as winning goes.

 I named the band. Our father wrote a song for us when we were little boys. It said, "I'm just a lonely, lonely boy ... I'm just a lonely, lonely boy." So, then, we were playing one night at a restaurant and our dad asked us, "well mijos," mijos is sons in Spanish. He said, "If we're going to do this, we need to have a name." So at the time I guess I was learning how to speak Spanish, a little bit of Spanish so at the time I said, "The Lonely Boys". And then I said, "Los is 'the', so, Los Lonely Boys." And then it just stuck and that was it ever since.

 If Nature denies eternity to beings, it follows that their destruction is one of her laws. Now, once we observe that destruction is so useful to her that she absolutely cannot dispense with it from this moment onward the idea of annihilation which we attach to death ceases to be real what we call the end of the living animal is no longer a true finish, but a simple transformation, a transmutation of matter. According to these irrefutable principles, death is hence no more than a change of form, an imperceptible passage from one existence into another.
  Marquis De Sade
