...Morgantown, W. VA., Scott Covington hit Daryl Jones with a 3-yard Td pass with 1:37 left to lift Miami (4-2, 1-1 Big East) over West Virginia (4-2, 2-1) 34-31. Edgerrin James had three TDs for the Hurricanes...
...that sounds like overreaching, for Schnatter it's nothing new. As a 5-ft. 6-in. high school shortstop in Jeffersonville, Ind., Schnatter vowed to become the best player at his position in the history of his school. Rising at 5 a.m. to lift weights and work out with the swim team, he set a record for fewest errors that stands today. (He brings a similar ardor to his current golf game, meticulously studying videotapes of his swing.) At the same time, Schnatter baked pizza at Rocky's Sub Pub, a neighborhood hangout, where he learned to make fresh dough...
While vanity got me started with weight lifting--or "strength training," as it's called these days--concerns about my health are what will keep me pumping. Men may lift more weight, but weight lifting does more good for women.

The ship went through a transformation from an enormous obdurate weight to a buoyant structure, free, afloat and adrift. All the raw material that I needed is contained in the reserve of this memory, which has become a recurrent dream." His "awe and wonder" at this...
...fame. Like the Wildebeast stampede in The Lion King or the ballroom sequence in Beauty and the Beast it is difficult not to be enraptured by this visual tour of the capital of ant farms. As you'd expect, listening to Woody Allen complain about "never being able to lift more than ten times his body weight" is funny, but in Antz, it is the panorama that steals the show. The casting choices made by Dream Works are a good stab at originality in the increasingly stale world of animated blockbusters, but in the end, Antz turns...
