...What steps have you undertaken to minimize incidents or allegations of game fixing by the referees? -J. Raphael Licauco, Manila, PhilippinesWe're putting in new and more sophisticated computer programming and screens, to see what irregularities pop out. We're doing new background checks, in a deeper way, on a more continual basis. We're cutting off pre-game information for the referees, once they go into the locker room.

It saved Britney Spears (in “Everytime”), Kelly Clarkson, and now Ashanti from horrible fates?...
...second-grader speak, and adds a bit of flair. The razzle-dazzled glittered-up remains typically fall into one of two general forms. The first à la “alien fish” is a hackneyed comparison that links a scientific study to some bit of pop culture or conventional wisdom. The second is a proclamation from a cabal of modern day Nostradamoi who predict a vague future catastrophe that will end all life on earth...
