...weaknesses has been my shot,” Griffin said. “I tend to score more in practice than in games. That has to do more with my hesitation, because I tend to want to [over]think when the puck is on my stick. In the past weeks, since I’ve been on the top two scoring lines, I’ve had coaches tell me that I have to get the puck off my stick much faster. And that definitely paid off against Clarkson...
...least, they do if towns have their own homegrown Marios. The James Beard Foundation Awards announced this past week their list of semifinalists (see a PDF) for their regional and national chef awards, and there are no more than a handful whose names would be familiar to most diners - even to people who eat out a lot.

You can have the world's greatest lawyer. And if the lawyer doesn't have resources [to hire experts], then...
...While the next three days are sure to be dominated by even more posturing, the reform plan that Democrats appear to have settled on closely resembles the most bipartisan version developed throughout the past year: the Senate Finance Committee bill. It's been tweaked and stretched and has gotten somewhat more expensive but, in essence, this is the legislation that Democrats hope to pass. Though the notorious bipartisan Gang of Six disbanded before the final bill was written, the basic structure of the legislation was developed with Republican input. It even got a Republican vote when it was passed...
