From there, fate seemed to take over, as with Mosier. Treadway is still starting all the junior varsity games but now moonlights as the third-string varsity goalie, although he has yet to play a single minute...

Proponents of free wi-fi like Pozar believe that paying for Internet access is as dumb as paying for a radio signal (which is, of course, exactly what wi-fi is).

Gourmands heading south over the next few months will be in for a treat...
