...citizens' complaints about broken streetlights or inadequate policing, allowing authorities to shift personnel and resources as needed. Every two weeks, managers head to see O'Malley or his top aides on the sixth floor of city hall to account for how well they have done just that. Workers who fare well can end up with Orioles tickets; managers who fall short have wound up with pink slips. The program has saved the city $100 million, O'Malley aides say. Last year Harvard University praised CitiStat for slashing overtime paid to city workers and cutting absenteeism in half at some agencies...
People's flight plan has always been to offer fares so low that almost anyone can afford to come on board. The introductory one-way ticket prices on its new routes are some of its best bargains ever: $29 from Newark to Montreal, $99 to Brussels, $49 to Atlanta and $69 to Dallas. Before last week the least expensive flight between the New York-Newark area and Atlanta was Delta's $99 one-way fare. Passengers were required to buy those tickets one month in advance. Even a 19-hour Greyhound bus trip over the route costs $104. No wonder...

...session to weeks of monitoring the maneuverings around the Hot Stove. If you to ask me, things didn't go so well for our side. We didn't get Pavano, we didn't get Radke, we didn't get Hudson. We let Derek depart without so much as a fare-thee-well, and lost Martinez to the Mets-which mightn't have been such a bad thing, no matter how he performs in Queens. (The bet here is that he'll be swell for a year or two, especially against those NL lineups, but by year five...
While the Damascus declaration is laced with good intentions, Western diplomats said that it is unlikely to fare much better than any of the other attempts to broker peace in Lebanon. Several Christian Lebanese leaders, who were not invited to attend the Damascus meeting, have already attacked the plan. "Lebanon's future cannot be determined by Muslims alone," warned al Amal, a Christian newspaper in East Beirut...
