Good news for smokers: link
from the article:
Dr. Tania Crombet, director of clinical research for CIM emphasized that Cuban scientists are investigating CIMAVAX EGF for other epidemoid (solid) cancers and have demonstrated its effectiveness in cases of neoplasia of the lung, head, neck, brain, stomach, breast, rectum, prostrate, cervix, bladder, ovary and pancreas.
I'd also like to mention how pleased I was with the Boston Massacre last evening. Go Rays!
I've got a question for you: Would you rather freeze to death or die in a fire?

At least the Huskies are out of the police sheets.
And are getting clear of NCAA sanctions. I may be wrong but that’s part of why Willingham was brought in here. Same with Paul Wulff at WSU. And his ability to recruit. I hope like hell Wulff gets at least 5 years to build and field his own team.

Woohoo, no John Hart! And no Al Aliva says Rotoworld:
According to the Detroit Fress Press, the Tigers denied the Mariners’ request to interview assistant general manager Al Avila for their GM job.
Avila was allowed to interview for the same job in 2003, but apparently the Tigers’ stance has changed since then. With Avila not an option and Chris Antonetti, David Forst and Jed Hoyer each pulling themselves out of the running, the Mariners may have narrowed their search to Jerry DiPoto, Kim Ng, Tony LaCava and Peter Woodfork.

I've always played my other consoles enough to make them worth it,
but I don’t always want to be swinging my arms around to play a game. Sometimes I just want to sit on the couch with a controller and call it good. I think that’s why I don’t play it nearly as much as the others.

"my wife" is possesive.
I tend to use phrases like “the boss”, or “the better half”. Also, I do all the house work, take care of the kids, gave up my career for the needs of the family, blah blah blah.
But I acknowledge the point and will quit, as I don’t want to completely hijack this.

“The boss” especially. It implies that there is no partnership. I don’t even care if it’s meant to be a joke, because it usually doesn’t turn out like one.
