After I got my journalism degree, I was a daily reporter, but I'm not good in offices," he says bluntly over the phone from his Oklahoma home. "I'm opinionated and occasionally smelly and the second t...

The last time [Jelena Jankovic] and Sharapova played -- at the Birmingham grass court tournament last year -- Jankovic beat the Russian in three sets, including 7-5 in the decider. Sharapova has beaten Jankovic twice on hard courts, including the U.S. Open's second round in 2004.
Previous matches don't count, this is a new encounter, a new match," [Sharapova] said. "Ever since the juniors we've always played really tough and we've always battled it out, and it's great to see her in the semis.
"You'll face a stiff test either way in the semifinals," [Hantuchova] said. "But I've got nothing to lose. I'm in a great position."

[...] measures are unusual for Brandon and Lacquette's uncle, Eugene, said the beefed-up security made family and friends feel like criminals. "We're just average citizens," Lacquette said outside the courthouse following Ouimet's appearance. "I'm here to support my brother and sister-in-law." The body of Duane Lacquette, 21, was found in his home on Centennial Boulevard on Jan. 16. A police officer was standing near the car. "He just jumped in right away, hiding his face ... he was gone very quickly." This isn't the first time Ouimet has made such an unorthodox court appearance and the security is likely in response to the large number of Lacquette's friends and family who have ...

In her letter to the editor of June 4, 2007, responding to Jane Leverick's statement that "...the magic might be healing spells akin to what we're recognizing now in medicine, like Reiki," (Weekend conference will turn U of W into real witches' brew, May 18), Sally Pastuck states that Reiki is "a Japanese word meaning universal life energy" and that Reiki does not employ healing spells. Further, she says, that "connecting Reiki with magic and healing spells could hinder the acceptance of Reiki as a valid healing therapy."

It might interest Pastuck to know that magical healing works with exactly that same "universal life energy" that is used by pract...

"When you move from one era to another, you usually have all these cultural issues that accompany the transition.
As Andy Borowitz noted last week on Huffington Post, Obama "has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete sentences. ... Millions of Americans who watched Mr. Obama's appearance on CBS's 60 Minutes " ... witnessed the president-elect's unorthodox verbal tick, which had Mr. Obama employing grammaticall...

It's the goodwill," she said Monday. "I give them something for free... and hopefully they'll come in here some day and use it.
"A lot of these visitors may be looking for something unorthodox to do," she said. "But they don't know where to go, so they're missing out on all these smaller, underground places in the city where they might think it would be cool to go."
[Melanie Regnier] is the first to admit her marketing ideas are unconventional. But they're affordable, and she's convinced they'll also strike a chord with the consumers she's targeting -- people between the ages of 15 and 40 who are attracted to things that are different, such as vintage clothing.
