...government regulation is nothing like what pro wrestling faced in the early '90s. The baseball thing is a joke. This has been a problem in baseball for as long as I can remember. I've got a lot of these guys' rookie cards and if you see the size of their necks and forearms compared to their size when they were first signed, it's pretty obvious that they've got a problem. For some reason everyone else has been under the microscope - wrestling, football, the Olympics - and now all of a sudden the baseball industry is going...
...Seeing the size of the fight he faces may help explain why Geithner was so outspoken on the Hill Thursday. "Now that we have hammered out an agreement with Frank," says the top aide, "it's time to defend it."

One hopes that Democrats, and fiscally responsible Republicans, will locate the backbone between now and then to do the right thing...
When making the perfect gelato, much depends on the size of the ice crystals. Most amateur chefs do not have the machinery to churn out - literally - the creamy consistency that is the hallmark of a great gelateria. But with an old-fashioned ice-cream maker, a good recipe, and a good understanding of the basic gelato rules (sugar is an anti-freeze, fats act as the opposite), the home chef can make gelato at home...
