[76th over: England 292-5 (Flintoff 44, G Jones 13) More good stuff from Flintoff, who rocks back before cracking Warne through the covers for another boundary.] England should change their name to Great Britain, if only to help Welshmen like me have easier lives, ... It's so tedious explaining to work colleagues how I can support 'England' in cricket and England's opposition in rugby and football. |
[After narrowly missing a bid to the NCAA meet in 2004, the Cavaliers are looking to get back to the form from the early part of the decade in which Virginia posted back-to-back top-20 finishes at the NCAA Championships (9th, 2001; 20th, 2002).] We can get back to NCAAs with our squad, ... They have experience and talent and a strong desire to move back into the upper echelon of the nation's elite. |
[As Captain Richard Davenport, a cocky, self-assured lawyer, he is called upon to investigate the murder of a black sergeant amid resistance from the base's white commanding officers.] Davenport has to stay one step ahead of the white people so he'll be seen as equal, ... and he has all this pressure from the African-American community because he's the one who broke through; he represents the race. |
[By the end of the week, Microsoft acknowledged its mistake and said it would issue a correction.] We launched the Microsoft Phishing Filter Add-in to more effectively protect customers from phishing and identity theft and we applaud other companies for their efforts in this area, as well, ... We recognize we were not first to deliver a phishing filter to the market and apologize for any confusion. |

[Lurie said that I was naive to think that Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir meant that people would be comfortable with a woman leading the free world.] Do you think she would be taken seriously by Arab countries? ... When Bush's voice cracked after 9/11, that was seen as a man showing his emotions. If a woman did that, it would be seen as weakness, as breaking under the pressure. |
John McCain (1936-) |
[Milwaukee guard T.J. Ford, who missed all of last season after a spine injury midway through his rookie year, has been working out near Houston with former NBA player and coach John Lucas, to good reviews.] I know this is going to sound like a crazy comment, ... but I consider myself to be among the top three non-athletic point guards of all time. And the other two are John Stockton and T.J. Ford. |
[That could be the situation throughout the game, but Razorbacks defensive backs coach Bobby Allen said the defense expects to keep its usual scheme.] We match up our corners vs. wide receivers in everything we do. If it falls out that those two are hooked up, that’s what it’ll be, ... They move around so much and they put their guys in a lot of different positions.... They’ve got playmakers. |
[The human side of Katrina — tales of agony and misery that thousands of Katrina's victims still endure a month after the storm — also has gripped many reporters, who want to stay on the story indefinitely.] Katrina made a lot of us in the media realize that we can't undersell a hurricane, ... News organizations, the government, everybody now realizes you've got to take Mother Nature seriously. |

[Western Illinois] wasn't the strongest of opponents. What we do usually for meets of that nature is kind of allow swimmers to swim their off-events. Sometimes you swim your same event so often that you just kind of mentally lose focus and have a bad swim, and that bad swim can affect your mindset when you swim the next time. I liked the opportunity to have the majority of the team swim off events. |
A friend of mine suggested it to me, ... Maybe he had the intuition or foresight to realize what was about to happen. I also noticed immediately that there were a lot of things out of place with the investigation, but I never thought it would lead to a book. It wasn't until later, when I was in teleconferences with guys like Johnnie Cochran and (Barry) Scheck, that I realized how big it had become. |
A mixed day really. Nicky started well but couldn't improve this afternoon when the team tried some new adjustments that didn't work too well. Max again seems to be having problems with his machine in the turns and we need to look at the data to see if we can all come up with a solution. It is all very close today. The top 14 riders are all within one second of each other but, we need to be higher. |
A preponderance of evidence, from the best observational studies the medical world has to offer, gathered over 25 years, has led to the conclusion that public health action is needed. Primary prevention of these cancers has largely been neglected, but we now have proof that the incidence of colon, breast, and ovarian cancer can be reduced dramatically by increasing the public's intake of vitamin D. |
