| Will Sam Gash be new RB coach?
Do you think that Barry Sanders would've retired if he had the same offensive line that the Emmit Smith had? Dudes, Barry would've probably pushed that record up another 3000 or more yards in less time than Emmit would've caught it and everyone believes that BECAUSE IT'S ALL TRUE. Maybe instead of seeing a 2000 yard season you'd see a 2500 yard season with an awesome offensive line. There are a lot of people that despise Kitna around here. I think that after the Arizona game he was trying too hard to make something happen so he could live up to his prediction. I think that maybe God didn't answer his prayer because maybe he shouldn't be so bold? I think that maybe God humbled him a little bit instead of willing the Lions to a 10 win season. I mean, a 10 win season is a bold statement when you won 3 games the year before and the team has sucked for so long.
Winning the war on …
What is Bush doing to stop al queda from nuking us? He's policing a sectarian feud in Baghdad. Atlanta is the likely al queda target. Detonated on a plane. The CIA knows all of this, but Bush wont let them stop it. He has killed any initiative to stop alqueda that doesn't have the word baghdad in it. WHo is that lame duck president who didn't really get elected, but got annointed holy president instead by the supreme court? (idontknow). You know, he mispronounces words like nuclear. (beatsme). "Attack Iraq". Oh, come on, he said mission accomplished. (sorry, dontknow). "Attack Iraq". Well, he diebolded his second term with dirty tricks that the authorites are still uncovering…(youlostme). "ATTACK IRAQ". "ATTACK IRAQ" .
Sakic excited to play with Forsberg again
Quenneville learned the art of patience through injuries to Sakic (hernia), Ryan Smyth (ankle) and Paul Stastny (appendectomy and groin) this season. "You're going to be telling us when you're ready," Quenneville said. "We provide encouragement to play, but the players know their bodies and when they say they're ready to go, we'll then decide." In Vancouver on Wednesday, Quenneville approached Sakic and Forsberg to see how they felt about skating on the same line upon Forsberg's return. It wasn't a tough sell. "We all know what Peter can do on the ice," Sakic said. "He's a tremendous hockey player." That's why Ian Laperriere was lobbying hard to be included on that line. In fact, he talked Friday like it was already a finished deal.

ACLU: "Today we launched a new web feature - an ACLU Watchlist Counter to dramatize the absurd bloat in our nation's terrorist watchlists. It wasn't long after 9/11 that we began hearing from Americans who were having problems getting on airplanes because, they were told, their names were on terrorist watchlists. In typical Bush Administration style, these systems had been roughly thrown together with little thought for questions of guilt or innocence or fairness to those unfairly targeted.
In the years since, our out-of-control watchlists have received a lot of terrible publicity, such as when famous people like Sen. Ted Kennedy or Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) got trapped on them, or when 60 Minutes discovered that the list included the president of Bolivia, dead people, and dozens of common American names like Robert Johnson and John Williams.
Mourners pay candlelight tribute to seven young N.B. basketball ...
BATHURST, N.B. - The seven high school basketball players killed last weekend in a highway accident in northern New Brunswick were remembered Wednesday as loving sons, sweet brothers and trusted friends who will be loved forever in their heartbroken hometown. The funeral for all seven boys brought the city of Bathurst to a standstill as schools and businesses closed and about 5,500 people crowded into a hockey arena and an adjacent rink to hear the service. "You have lost your precious sons," Bathurst Mayor Stephen Brunet told the families of the boys. "We have lost seven future leaders. For a moment just imagine in your mind what they could have done." The boys' coffins lay side by side at one end of the arena, covered with sprays of flowers.
Panipat fire exposes illegal units
The recent fire in a textile mill in which 10 workers perished has raised several questions about the safety aspect. It is alleged that at the time of incident the main gate of the factory was locked from outside that blocked the escape route to the workers. The deceased were not even registered under the ESI Act that further proves that how labour laws are not being followed here. The lackadaisical attitude of the authorities can be gauged from the fact that the factory where work was on till late night is located just a few meters away from the court campus that houses the offices of the deputy commissioner, additional deputy commissioners, SDM and others. Investigations made by The Tribune revealed that in blatant violations of the rules the entrepreneurs lure the financially weak workers to reside in the factories.

Sudan police throw teacher in jail for teddy bear named Muhammad
Gillian Gibbons, who taught at Unity High School in Khartoum, right, was arrested for supposedly "insulting the Prophet Muhammad", a violation of Article 125 of the Sudanese criminal law that covers insults against faith and religion –– There is no specific, or explicit, ban in the Koran on images of Allah or the Prophet Muhammad – be they carved, painted or drawn –– However, chapter 42, verse 11 of the Koran does say: "[Allah is] the originator of the heavens and the earth . . . [There is] nothing like a likeness of Him" –– The fear is that images could give rise to idolatry, but experts said that in this case the response in Sudan, which has been governed by strict Sharia (Islamic law) since 1983, has been unusually harsh .
Eva Longoria gets back in to shape for Desperate Housewives
"We're back and it's like we never left," Longoria-Parker told People.com in Los Angeles while accepting a donation for the children's cancer charity, Padres Contra El Cancer. "We were such a well-oiled machine before we broke so stop was jolting." Having dismissed pregnancy rumors in January by pointing to her strike-induced indulging, the Desperate Housewives star is back to her work health regiment. "I'm working out, I'm eating my healthy food I get prepared," she said with a sigh. "It is so much easier being in shape when you're on the show because you have a chef and the gym is right there, so you really have no excuse." Fresh off a plane from San Antonio, and heading to catch a place to New York, quality time with husband Tony Parker may be limited, but the actress is still in honeymoon mode.
SIDEBAR: The GameSpot News Blog
It's no secret that the oil industry has a less-than-sterling public image. BP Alternative Energy, a branch of UK-based oil titan BP, is hoping to help change that perception by collaborating with Electronic Arts on its virtual-world builder SimCity Societies, which will be released for PCs on November 15 in North America and Europe. The BP-EA collaboration will focus on the traditional crux of the SimCity franchise: money management. Players will be able to choose from a variety of energy sources while building their cities, but the cheaper resources will also produce the most carbon dioxide. City builders will have to keep an eye on the global-warming-inducing gas as their metropolises expand,because natural disasters will become more likely if the gas reaches a certain level.
Startup gives young people device to simulate real driving
The Sacramento area long has stood at the forefront of efforts to improve traffic safety. In West Sacramento, the California Highway Patrol operates the world's top law-enforcement driver-training center.

Now comes a startup company in El Dorado Hills that is working to reduce car accidents nationwide via technology. Virtual Driver Interactive builds and markets simulators that take teenagers and 20-somethings on dangerous journeys where the consequence of failure is merely failing a test rather than inflicting real-life pain. .
