They're terrific songs, and prove the lady's still got the lung power. (Does she take requests? Please, then, an encore of her late-70s gut-destroyer "Stay...

In 2006, the state elected its first Democratic governor, Ted Strickland, in a generation. Most polls, at the present time, show Clinton 10 to 20 points ahead in Ohio, and Clinton was in Youngstown Tuesday...
...might expect, but instead sounded genuinely optimistic about the final weeks of the season. “We just have to continue to move forward,” Weiss said. “We have Cory Jantzen hopefully coming back next weekend and that gives us a big lift at 141 lbs.” Regardless of which wrestlers can compete in the final matches, with an optimistic coach and a squad that has faced more than its share of challenges, Harvard has plenty of fight left as it looks to finish off the season with some team wins...
