...Baseball can certainly try. Though Mitchell strongly urged that the commissioner move on and not discipline current players - except, as he vaguely put it, in cases where a player's conduct is "so serious, that discipline is necessary to maintain the integrity of the game." Selig didn't back off of possible discipline, saying he'd examine each player on a "case-by-case" basis. But if Selig goes after any active guys, the union is going to fight it - and hard. Baseball's drug agreement clearly states that a player is penalized after he tests positive for a performance...
...Ringo. He was the comical one in the Beatles, lovable but expendable. He hitched a ride on the Lennon-McCartney express. Perhaps you believed he'd been knighted like Sir Paul. Maybe you assumed he'd retired. In fact, almost everything you think you know about Ringo is wrong, except that he's endearing. Lean and boisterous in tight pants, T shirt, sneakers and funky sunglasses, he could be mistaken for a 50-something in the first throes of an affair with a younger woman.

...Evacuating oneself, as it turns out, sucks. The hike out is a wet blur in my memory, except for when we had to ford a flooded river using ropes in a sort of life-or-death trust fall. In testimonials printed on FOP’s promotional materials, this should have been the moment when I rose to the challenge, mastered my fear, and remained changed forever. In real life, I shouted a few profanities as my grip on the rope slipped and the team leader was forced to lug me across the river with...
...Nothing comes of the penalty except for a nice shot from the the left faceoff circle from Alex Meintel, which Vermont goaltender Mike Spillane is barely able to stop with a kick save. 0-0 at the break; Harvard has the edge in shots, 12-6, but don't let that fool you--the Catamounts had as many quality chances as the Crimson...
