...question has been asked for so many years now that it's almost become a passé punch line of the off-season. And for some, the annual Favre guessing game has become so routine - Favre himself responded to retirement questions late Sunday by saying, "I know people are rolling their eyes or will roll their eyes ... In a situation like this, I really don't want to make a decision right now" - that they have written off Favre as a prima donna who has teased and toyed with the league's press and fans to a point where...
...pregnancy will not be easy, especially when it comes to cases for and against the now largely discontinued abstinence-until-marriage education. According to the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S., New Hampshire, which has had a big drop in its teen pregnancy rates since 1988, received almost no federal abstinence-education funding in 2006. But neither did Wyoming, a state that has not lowered its teen pregnancy rates much. Texas, Florida and New York, the states that received the most federal abstinence funding, fell somewhere in the middle in terms of improvement. (Read "Parents' Sex Talk with...
Noonan was similarly a runner-up for the Hermann trophy and has played 12 times for the U.S. National Team, but has been on a decline in form since he became a prominent starter for the New England Revolution.

As his approval rating fell almost 20 points, to below 50%, the freshman report cards talked about irate independents and mutinous liberals and how even Michelle can't radiate enough warmth to compensate for his apparent lack of a pulse.

...told Willow Creek pastor Bill Hybels in 1999 that he was going to use him "to create new attitudes on race," he was about a half-century late. Today almost any public gathering the size of Willow Creek's congregation would be more than 2% African American. A decade into the 21st century, and Hybels is considering allowing a black pastor to preach or teach! The United Methodist Church has had black bishops and pastors for predominately white congregations for about 40 years. I wish Hybels success, but in this case, he is not parting the waters of social change...
