(Coach Eddie Olczyk) and I are good friends, and we talk a fair amount, ... I think it probably would have been more enticing had the season picked up last February to do something (in Pittsburgh). But I actually called Mario (Lemieux) to congratulate him when the draft lottery when down, and he said, in passing, 'Are you going to play?' I said, 'No, I'm done.'

(In) the industrial cities of 100 years ago ... millions of urban dwellers ... were obliged to endure cramped and unsanitary tenements, traffic and pollution-choked streets and deadly factories.

[13th over: Australia 28-1 (Hayden 6, Ponting 1) Harmison continues to probe outside off-stump at around 85mph, Hayden continues to leave.] In my capacity as a professional Software Engineer, I can confirm that constantly refreshing a webpage doesn't hurt your computer, ... That said, if it drastically affects network bandwidth and it's tracked back to your PC your IT administrator might get a bit narked. |
[Acclaimed by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest U.S. films of the last century, Mockingbird won three Oscars , including one for star Gregory Peck, who died in 2003. And it was Peters who read the eulogy at Peck's funeral.] In art there is compassion, in compassion there is humanity, with humanity there is generosity and love, ... Gregory Peck gave us these attributes in full measure. |

[Farmers, even those outside the disaster zone, are begging for hurricane cash.] It is important to remember that the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina is harming much more of U.S. agriculture than producers in those three states, ... As the Senate and House Appropriations Committees prepare to address this natural disaster, we urge you to include emergency disaster assistance for farmers and ranchers. |
[Having raised her visibility, she is now a clear target.] It's interesting that at a time when she could have differentiated herself from the ranks of [Democratic National Committee Chairman] Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi and the far left ranks of the Democratic Party, she chose to join those on the front ranks of the blame game, ... It would have been interesting if she had shown some level of restraint. |
[If Deion Sanders wants to come back next season, the Ravens would welcome his return. Sanders, who will turn 38 next August, has only started and finished six of the Ravens' 14 games this season because of injuries. As a nickel back, he is second on the team with three interceptions, running one back for a touchdown.] He's been a joy to have, a great addition to this club, ... We'd love to have him back. |
[Johnson did not stick around after the game to discuss what happened, but catcher John Flaherty said the two men were jawing throughout much of the first two innings.] In the first inning they went back and forth and Fieldin told him, to his credit, that he had had enough, and to calm it down, ...

[Like tens of thousands of impressionable younger brothers, 6-year-old Keon Lattimore would follow his big brother out to the backyard for some football pointers. And like tens of thousands of older brothers, Ray Lewis -- nine years older, already a young man -- would cooperate, handing Lattimore a football and sending him off toward the other boys in the backyard.] Just run into 'em, ... Go hit somebody. |
[The Cubs have scouts all over the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues, and an end-of-the-spring trade to improve the bullpen remains a distinct possibility. GM Jim Hendry said he hasn't spoken to any team lately about acquiring relief help.] People are just getting going, ... We just want to see our own guys play for a while and see how they stack up.

That it was unanimous indicates the power of this ruling. |
A lot of people go unheard of, and then everyone says, 'Wow, he's a really good player. Sometimes it's just about getting those opportunities. I'm pretty sure opponents know about me now, but you still have to worry about Moose on the other side.

People who really want to make changes can make them any day of the year, whether it be the Jewish New Year, the Chinese New Year or any day that suits them. You've got every day of your life to make changes. |
