This is the most exciting day ever in my life," Lomong said. "It's a great honour for me that my teammates chose to vote for me. I'm here as an ambassador of my country and I will do everything I can to represent my country well. "I feel good considering the calendar this year, which was terrorizing," [Rafael Nadal] said Wednesday. "It's been a good year, but a difficult one." "Right now I don't really have time to enjoy that because I want to take in the Olympic Games... It's an experience you never forget," Nadal said.
What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the year 1909. * The average life expectancy was 47 years. * Fuel for cars was sold in drug stores only. * Only 14 per cent of the homes had a bathtub. * Only eight per cent of the homes had a telephone. * There were only 8,000 cars and 144 miles of paved roads. [...] they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and the government as substandard. * Sugar cost four cents a pound. * Eggs were 14 cents a dozen. * Coffee was 15 cents a pound. * Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. * The American flag had 45 stars. * The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30. * There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. * Two out of every 10 adults ...
In a 90-minute showdown ahead of the Democratic primary next week in Pennsylvania, Clinton charged [Barack Obama]'s relationships with a controversial black pastor and a former leftist radical "raise questions" about his judgment that will weaken him in the general election if he wins the Democratic nomination. Clinton has cast Obama as an out-of-touch "elitist" for saying last week that small-town Americans made "bitter" by hard economic times now "cling to guns and religion" and anti-immigrant sentiments for comfort. The questions about Obama's character -- including one inquiry about why he didn't wear an American flag lapel pin -- left Obama frustrated. He said he shouldn't be held responsible for the views of others, including [Jeremiah Wright] or [Bill Ayers].
I'm a Migmaw from Nova Scotia. We had National Aboriginal Day in Nova Scotia, and I know everybody did across the country, but a lot of the people I talked to said there was only one thing missing. We don't have a national flag across the country. The Canadians have a national flag, the American's have a flag and the Acadians have their national flag and Nova Scotia has the flag, but isn't it about time the Native people of Canada had a national flag that we could fly year-round alongside of the Canadian flag and the American flag. Hi. I am an inmate doing time in the Northern Treatment Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. I am writing to you to voice my opinion and let others know of how our ceremonies are being dishonored. Is it not bad enough that when doing the sweat we have to heat our...
He's sadistic, manipulative and relentless in his offences. He appears to be unstoppable, whether he's on parole, probation, on release or, for that matter, even when he's in jail," prosecutor Cindy Sholdice told provincial court Judge Ken Champagne in calling for a seven-year prison sentence. In 2005, he befriended a married woman from Minot, N.D. and convinced her to come to Winnipeg to post bail for him after one of his arrests for breaching terms of his probation. She left her husband and children, believing [Terrance Moquin]'s story that he'd got into a fight while "defending the American flag" with a rude Canadian, court was told. She was intercepted by police who told her the truth about her online lover. Moquin has spent the past year in custody, and the Crown is seeking up to ...

I still have nightmares," the woman said as she recalled a nearly year-long romance with Terrance Moquin that began in 2004. "I thought he was this rich Texan. We clicked. We never should have clicked. "He told me 'Oh, I'll take care of you.' I wasn't quick enough to pick up on what I should have picked up on," she said. In late 2005, he befriended a married woman from Minot, N.D. and convinced her to come to Winnipeg to post bail for him after one of his arrests for breaching terms of his probation. She left her husband and children, believing Moquin's story that he'd got into a fight while "defending the American flag" with a rude Canadian, court was told. She was intercepted by police who told her the truth about her online lover.
The challenge that faced [Thomas Jefferson] bears striking resemblance to the challenge facing the ships now moving through the Gulf of Aden. Although the NATO mission has deterred many attacks, the Somali pirates have proliferated. The result is that ships like Winnipeg are seeing more action, but there are many more attacks they simply cannot respond to. The world's most prosperous countries have been flummoxed trying to come up with the best antidote. Attacking the pirates' bases in Somalia has been ruled out lest the hostages still held by the pirates are killed. The Somali government is not only no help in bringing the pirates to justice, there are concerns they are being paid off by the sea bandits. The tolerance for the pesky pirates might be abating. Last month, the U.S. killed ...

This ambitious but flawed film is not the story of Iwo Jima, a turning point in the war in the Pacific, but the story of the story of Iwo Jima. It looks at the way we make sense of horrific suffering and loss by reducing them to simple, easily digested equations of good and evil, heroes and villains. Based on James Bradley's book, the film focuses on Joe Rosenthal's photograph of six men -- five marines and one navy corpsman -- raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. Ryan Phillippe is John (Doc) Bradley, the quietly brave corpsman. Jesse Bradford is Rene Gagnon, "the unit's very own Tyrone Power," a handsome, cheerful opportunist. But Manitoba-born Adam Beach is the heart of this film, turning in a performance of haunted power as Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who ends up lost and brok...
Many others echoed [John Wells]'s sentiment, in stronger or more diplomatic tones. Our favourite NBC-directed shot came from Peter Tolan, co-creator of the made-for-cable drama Rescue Me: "I feel they should take down the American flag in front of the building and just put up a white one, because they've clearly given up. They've clearly said, 'We can't develop anything that's going to stick... so we quit.' The thing about this that kind of annoys me is that we use writers," he countered. "The Tonight Show's writers, if you look, are among the top five per cent highest-paid writers in the (Writers) Guild. And I don't flip my guys; I don't switch them off.... So in terms of taking work away from people, I don't think so. I think you're just switching it over -- instead of drama writers...
