Nascar Crash - Texas Motor Speedway
Yesterday Sprint Cup rookie driver Michael McDowell crashed during qualifying. This has to be the hardest hit I think I have seen. Obviously Nascar has come a long way since the crash that killed Dale Earnahrdt in their efforts to make racing safer.
McDowell walked away without an injury.

Honoring Mike Teel
Kenny Britt likes to tease me about how much I like Mike Teel, I play along and the truth is: I do really like Mike Teel. And I know I'm awfully lucky I do. Mike's a Bergen County kid and our paper's home base is in Bergen County and so obviously, from the start, I was aware he'd be a kid our readers would always want news on. I remember exactly where I was (the produce section of a grocery store) on that July day in 2004, when I found out Mike had committed to Rutgers. I called this teenager,
Question of the Day: A third year for Casey Blake?
Keep in mind, we're talking about the player connected to the beard, not the beard itself. We'd sign Casey Blake's beard to a three year deal, a five year deal, a ten year deal. Whatever it took to keep that soup strainer in the organization. Price? No object! (Thanks again to reader Mike for the image, from our Photoshop contest last season.) Unfortunately, the question before the front office isn't simply one of facial hair retention, but of the entire player. According to his agent
Jesus & Prophecy: Jesus' Birth In Context, Pt. 2
A few years ago, I attended one of Ron Luce's "Acquire The Fire" events and quite enjoyed myself. I was a youth minister at the time and had taken my students to the event mainly because the renowned apologist, Josh McDowell, was speaking. Prior to attending, I had read through and referenced a variety of McDowell's books. I admired what he was doing; he helped me through some tough, searching and trying times. At the conference, he came out and just blew everybody away with this spiel he did on

Conquest of the Prequel to the Planet of the Apes
CHUD.com has article based on a conversation with Scott Frank, the man charged by 20th Century Fox with crafting a prequel to PLANET OF THE APES, Tim Burton’s disappointing remake of the 1969 classic starring Charlton Heston. Rumor was that the new film would be a remake of CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, which focused on the events that lead Caesar (Roddy McDowell) to start an ape rebellion that would eventually overthrow mankind. The article, which never quotes Frank directly, insists tha
South Dacola Music Club with BR5-49
The Mrs. got me this album last year for Christmas and I’ve had it in the rotation ever since. I’ve been a fan of BR5-49 for a while, but this is my favorite album yet - next to the live album, anyway. I could go on about why it’s a good album, but instead of sounding like Patrick Bateman (who is currently returning some video tapes), I’ll let this guy do the talking: When BR549 were dropped by Sony following the critical and commercial disappointment of 2001’s This Is BR549, and bassist Jay

Review: Bible Study Magazine
Introduction Logos Bible Software has just released the first edition of Bible Study Magazine (BSM). At first I was a bit skeptical and thought the computer software company might be overstepping their boundaries. I was wrong. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised overall with the layout and “feel” to the magazine. The stated goal of the magazine is to provide readers “with tools and methods for Bible study.” Inside the Magazine The first thing I noticed was how colorful the magazine

Where's the MSTI I'm used to? 2) I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, everything looks fine. Friends, we have big news. Mike Scioscia's tragic illness has joined the MVN family of blogs. Why? Simple - because we're greedy. No, it's not that we're really maki
A Message from the Mayor of Fountain Hills AZ
When it comes to buying Phoenix AZ real estate, there are a lot of great choices. The east valley includes cites like Tempe AZ, Mesa AZ and Gilbert AZ. Most people include Scottsdale AZ and Paradise Valley AZ in the Northeast Valley. The west valley includes town like Peoria AZ and Glendale AZ which include golf and (believe it or not) waterfront communities. One of my favorite places in all of Phoenix AZ is a town called Fountain Hills AZ. I have summarized a message from the Mayor of Fount

Following failure of shareholders to buy more than 0.24% (only £36m for 56m shares) of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group's £20bn share issue, RBS (1) (including Citizens Bank, USA, and NatWest Bank, England) today became the third to be formally nationalised (nearly 58%).

Padraig Harrington has had quite a year. Not only has he won two major titles during 2008, but the Irish golfer has won the respect of his peers and is considered by many as one of the greatest golfer’s around right now.

Playing with Sylvia and Anne
A new play that looks at the relationship between Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath gets some press at the CBC. “Strangely, there’s a lot of laughter in this show,” Clarke says over the telephone from Calgary, where the play premiered last winter as part of the Rabbits’ 25th anniversary season. “These were funny women. We’re not interested so much in how they died as in how they lived. And people who are that willing to examine death do tend to be pretty alive when they’re alive.” Director Blake B
