Sports & Recreation > Basketball Players Implications of Dwyane Wade's injury: 2 of 7
The defending NBA Champions are in a pickle. Their best player and media darling, Dwyane Wade, has injured in shoulder. Wade is likely to be out the rest of the season and probably the post-season. Wade has to choose if he wants to get surgery right away or attempt to rehab the shoulder, come back for the post-season, and op... More..
Sports & Recreation > Baseball Players Who are the best shortstops in baseball?: 4 of 12
The days of Ozzie Smith and Barry Larkin are over, well over. The shortstop position is being looked at as more of an offensive position these days. If a guy has pop in his bat and can play decent defense, he would start over a defensive wizard with little power. Defensive guys are still out there, Omar Vizquel is a guy of t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a San Francisco Giants fan: 2 of 6
I believe that Barry Bonds is clean and has never taken performance-enhancing drugs. As a Giants fan, you have to believe that. We are the only people who cheer when Bonds goes deep or splashes a ball into McCovey Cove. If the fans did not believe in Bonds, we wouldn't be fans. Of course there is a little voice in the back o... More..
Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: How To Save A Life, by The Fray: 2 of 6
The Fray's album, "How To Save A Life," is what the industry calls a "slow-gainer." The Fray has a sound that would be reminiscent of the piano singer/songwriters of the past like Elton John, Billy Joel, and Ben Folds. They are not on the level as the entertainers that I just mentioned, but this debut release has a chance to... More..
Computers & Technology > Business & Office Software Choosing a small business accounting program: 2 of 6
Small businesses need an accounting system that is easy to use, but won't break the bank. QuickBooks and Peoplesoft are two accounting programs that are easy to learn and are relatively inexpensive. Quickbooks is a program for the novice computer user. Peoplesoft is a program with a more extensive accounting functionality, b... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives MLB: Spring training with the 2007 Toronto Blue Jays: 1 of 3
The Toronto Blue Jays have put a team together that will compete in the AL East, if the Yankees and Red Sox both have injury problems. In the AL East that is all a team can do. The Blue Jays are in a better position than the Orioles and the Devil Rays, the Blue Jays have lured the top free agents the last two seasons with A.... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Predictions: 2007 Seattle Mariners: 1 of 3
Will 2007 be the year that the Mariners will finally make the World Series? Unfortunately, this team will not even make it over .500 and could have the worst record in the league by September. These are my predictions for the 2007 season for the Seattle Mariners. Seattle's pitching staff is filled with one-year wonders and n... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a Minnesota Twins fan: 1 of 3
The Twins have a limited about of money and spend it wisely. I am proud of being a Twins fan, because they do everything the right way. Their players are in-house, they don't go out and overspend for players, and they are competitive. Their scouts are some of the best in baseball and they give their fans what they want, a wi...

Politics, News & Issues > Basketball Do college basketball teams have an advantage on their own court?: 1 of 3
Winning on the road is one of the hardest things to do in college basketball. There is parity in the ranks of the elite and the mid-majors. Most elite teams don't play many games on the road. This year, Connecticut didn't play a road game until their 12th game of the season. UConn didn't have that great of a season this year... More..
Sports & Recreation > Basketball Players The most underrated NBA player: 6 of 17
Unlike another article's argument that Earl Boykins is the league's most underrated player, I think it is T.J. Ford. Ford was traded in the offseason from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Toronto Raptors for Charlie Villanueva. The Raptors are off to a great start and are currently leading their division. Like Jason Kidd, Ford mak... More..
