is proud to welcome former New England Patriots quarterback Steve Grogan back for the fifth straight season.

R.R. Marshall:Steve, going into this week we expected a very emotional effort from the Patriots due to the passing of Bill Belichick's father. Instead
the final score read 26-16, and in reality this loss to the Kansas City Chiefs wasn't even that close. What happened?"

"When the ocean-freight industry was born, no one predicted how rapidly it would grow as a result of globalization. In particular, the division of labor that is a function of globalization has dramatically affected the industry. China especially serves as the world's manufacturing center, with the EU and the US being the principle consumers. Between them lies the vast expanse of the high seas, the watery playing field of globalization. Over 3,500 cargo ships are currently sailing the world's oceans, carrying 15 million containers along transcontinental routes."

"Volvo Ocean Race - Ericsson Racing Team experiences failure on the hydraulic keel movement system
CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA-(29-11-2005) Last night, Ericsson was reaching at 20 knots, in 22 knots of wind, when a failure occurred in the keel movement system. The boat had to be stopped to allow the crew to inspect the damage. Ericsson is now sailing towards Cape Town under reduced sail to avoid overloading the system. The crew is in no danger.
"We were reaching on starboard tack at a speed of 20 knots, explains Ericsson skipper Neal McDonald. The boat was fully loaded, but these were normal sailing conditions."
Confessions of an Ignoramus: North -

""Go North," he said. That's all he said.
I was a little disoriented. He pointed North and walked away. That was it. That was our entire conversation. I stood where I was, on the Eastern side of Highway 101, and stuck my thumb out at the first passing car. The green Chevy pulled over into a cloud of dust and I climbed in.
Earlier that spring bill bissett showed up and had announced the new world. He'd joined some friends up the coast to start a commune at Galley Bay and urged us to go back there with him. Dick and Catherine took Beorn and the two pups I'd named, Abie and Max, and followed bill to paradise. I declined."

""Sacked in the morning," chorused the Rovers fans mockingly, and though they may be wrong about that some serious questions will be asked at Villa Park today.
"They're a good footballing team and we knew they were no kick-and-rush side and that we were in for a tough game here," said O'Leary. "I'm sure they are treating every game as a cup final and we knew it would be tough. We came here wanting to win and I would hate to take anything away from Doncaster."
