...seasoned coach not unlike the Braves’ Bobby Cox. I feel confident rooting for a team that’s in safe hands. One thing I discovered on this “personal journey” was just how much I love the Braves. Watching the Braves beat the National League-leading Dodgers twice in extra innings on back-to-back nights was mesmerizing. And so it only seems natural that I adopt the American League version of the Braves as my West Coast team. The Angels will very rarely play the Braves, so my allegiances will never...
Still, early polls aren't encouraging. Quinnipiac University reported in July that Specter would beat Sestak easily in the primary, 55% to 23%.

And there is nothing more expensive than space, and nothing more rare than silence. Yoga is a new and lucrative business in China, because its centers (expensive and exclusive) offer both...
Many opponents of the far right - even those on the center right - are queasy at the idea of defeating extremist upstarts by moving into their territory. "I don't think you can beat the BNP by pandering to their views on immigration, though there are some siren voices," says Pickles. That hasn't stopped the Conservatives and other centrist parties from falling into bouts of my-policy-is-tougher-than-yours posturing. The Conservative Party also raised eyebrows with its choice of allies in the European Parliament: a new right-wing grouping chaired by Polish MEP Michal Kaminski, a former...
