I've gotta have my Physical therapist see this http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/20041...z1s20galry.html

This kind of "hindsight" shows what parties were not "in" on the take

Before you get too excited - Marty S. is the coach - history is a B word

"Whether you like it or not, the Pro Football Hall of Fame uses passer rating to judge QBs, and that should be good enough for anyone." 87093[/snapback] There is so much more to judging a HOF player than just some numbers. No one has ever managed to figure out how to measure leadership, heart and sheer guts

There is a Deutsche Bank in Manhattan which isn't too far away A phone call may do wonders http://banks.amillionlives.com/BankName-623-4559-36.html

Murray's on the corner of Hertel & Colvin - An old place with an old crowd but most definitely - a RED SOX bar

My TV (relaxation) schedule was full as many bigs games (13) were on cable and were close, exciting games. Michigan, Notre Dame, Tenneesee and USC all posting impressive wins. Tough luck for Penn State but Purdue is a "rolling" team. Too bad for Texas and OSU - someone does care. There's still five games underway and the Yankees/Twins hit extra innings The wife should go away for more weekends Maybe the Bills might pull one out tomorrow to cap the weekend !

How to play statistics with really big numbers: http://www.suntimes.com/output/otherviews/cst-edt-ref09.html Short cut to the end: "Before China can become an effective competitor to the United States, it must first overcome its Maoist legacy of corruption, inadequate infrastructure, weak financial institutions and the political rigidities of a one-party state. This last problem could be the most intractable. Local and regional party officials still hold great power and are loath to give it up. Attempts to curb such power and abuses could produce the two things the central government fears most -- political instability and a slowdown in the foreign investment needed to fuel the Chinese economic miracle." Plus - an economy very dependent on "filthy" coal http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/sandt/Liaoningweb.htm

"My question is: can the economy really be as bad as the Democrats say when the housing market, at least here in the Philadelphia area, is still robust? Is housing a leading or lagging indicator?" Housing is always first based on location, location and then, location If properties are selling in days (hours here on the W. Coast) then the market is hot and it is not a matter of the overall economy Supply and demand rule - BUT Look before you leap and a "real" home inspection is an ABSOLUTE ! 5.75% is a good rate - any points though ?
