...organization is not competitive enough and are choosing to participate in one or more travel teams that often don't restrict pitching. There's no guarantee that anyone will follow Little League's lead in counting pitches. Then the question becomes, Which will your child have longer--a nice, shiny trophy from winning a tournament or the injury he or she sustained getting it? ELBOW...
...have to do it together." MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD, President of Iran, apologizing to students for allowing liberal and secular professors to remain in their posts at Iranian universities. He called for a faculty purge "I responded that I preferred his sister, it's true. It wasn't something nice, true." MARCO MATERAZZI, Italian soccer player, finally revealing what was said during the July World Cup final that provoked star French footballer Zinedine Zidane to head-butt him after he grabbed Zidane by the shirt and the Frenchman told him, "If you want, I'll give you the jersey later."

...Hollywoodland, to its credit, does not give Reeves, who is well and affably played by Ben Affleck, much of an inner life.

We're not really in the land of noir here...
...What a contrast to my next patient. Sean is half Bob's age. He weighs less, isn't as active, and has nice straight legs. Barely a trace of arthritis on X-ray and nothing except "minimal arthritic changes" on his MRI. He has taken Advil, Naprosyn, Voltaren, Celebrex with minimal help. Injections into his knees of hyaluronic acid (a component of joint fluid) and corticosteroids provided only a few weeks of relief. Physical therapy, braces, acupuncture, yoga all failed. He couldn't get out of chairs, couldn't climb stairs because of the pain. There was one thing left...
