| Clinton's confidence dwindles as aides face her campaign's possible ...
Obama is more than an empty suit. He has prospored only because so many people despise the Clintons. His position on most everything is identical to the Clintons' therefore the basic premise of most of his opinions have not been tested. His leftist view of the world just will not fly with most Americans. .

Seeing the combine from a different view
After the dash, the players got organized for passing and receiving drills. Michigan's Adrian Arrington, LSU's Early Doucet and Oklahoma State's Bowman didn't participate. Receivers ran quick out-routes to the sidelines that challenged them to pull in the ball while concentrating on getting two feet down in bounds. The quarterbacks' arm strength was tested as they attempted to hit receivers in-stride on fly routes and stutter-and-go routes of at least 40 yards. Receivers ran short crossing routes to show how crisply they could break their routes for a quick-hit gain, while the quarterback's short-game precision and timing was tested. Medium post routes and curls were also part of the drills. But the most interesting drill was the gauntlet, where each receiver started on the near sideline and ran to the opposite sideline while being peppered by passes from five quarterbacks, three on one side and two on the opposite side at evenly-spaced intervals.

Chamber of Commerce celebrates Pacifica's finest
Celebrating the best of Pacifica businesses and community members who have volunteered extensively, the Pacifica Chamber of Commerce held its annual awards ceremony during a gala banquet in the Bounty Room at the Lighthouse Hotel Thursday Jan. 24. Neil Sofia, the 2007 Chamber board president passed the gavel to incoming president Mildred Owen, who happily began her tenure. "It's an unusual honor for an arts person to be named as president," Owen said. "My goal is to bring more businesses into the Chamber and to grow. We don't need any negativity. I want to draw in the people who feel alienated and out of the loop." Helen James earned the Fuchsia Award for Lifetime Achievement. Gail Benton Shoemaker, who introduced James, told the .
'It's good here, innit'
My phone's blowin' up, innit! All my boys are watchin' it, congratulate me on the goal, hoping we go on to the next stage. It's good, it's all good. 'I picked up the accent in London, but I speak my native tongue, too, so I speak Ga [the language spoken around Accra] in front of the boys here, so that's all good. Funny how things have turned out, innit!' Yes, it is, and not just in the bubbly world of Junior Agogo, the Nottingham Forest striker who was born and raised in Accra before moving to Kilburn in north-west London at the age of 15. Yesterday was an historic day in African football. The first match in the Cup of Nations, in February 1957, was Sudan v Egypt in Khartoum. Last night, in Ghana's football-mad second city, Kumasi, they met again, for the first time in decades in a tournament that bears little, if any, resemblance to the original version.
The Coal Truth on Candidates
Research should continue; perhaps in the future a lower CO2 process will be found, leaving most of the carbon in a solid form. But we should hardly be rushing to rollout this "solution" at the present time. The real chimera is CO2 sequestration in the deep ocean or underground. This will never pass muster, since it would need to work almost perfectly to solve the greenhouse problem while continuing to rely on coal for a significant fraction of our energy. Big Coal is indeed a dinosaur fighting hard for its life. Too bad the most immediately available alternative for baseload electricity generation, nuclear, is still politically incorrect. I wonder if Big Coal money has anything to do with that? .
Hiking property taxes only 'fair,' Miller says
39 million annually to ship trash far to the U.S., or soon to the London area.
$1.2 million to purchase Theatre Passe Muraille
Over $100 million without looking at wages, contracts, perks and on and on. This city does not have a funding crisis it has a budgeting crisis. Personal agendas and a lack of innovative thinking are going to leave this city with future problems that will become increasingly unsurmountable.

Gazans Form Human Chain Along Israeli Border In Protest at Blockade
It's BS and the carnage will continue until we Jews face this fact. We Jews have proven, through the blind support of Israel, that we are no better or worse than the Nazis, not one iota. We have completely lost any sense of fairness and empathy for a displaced people who were brutally removed from their land to pave the way for a Jewish state, based on what? A book, Oil and political interests of the US, the fact we were persecuted by someone else? Wake up Jewry, because we are all one and thus, the more we persecute, the more the persecution falls against ourselves. .
