    I would too out of pure shame, if I passed on the best potential talent in the NFL since Barry Sanders. Maybe he didn't want Williams in the first place. If the coach and owner want one guy (Williams) and the GM wants another guy (Bush), who do you think wins? The guy who pays the bills at the end of the day.

    I'm looking for suggestions of good sites where I can buy music to burn onto CDs/mp3 players - I'm looking for a European band that isnt on iTunes, so any other sites that people know of where you can buy single songs or whole albums would be greatly appreciated.
  3. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2427730 Lions might deal QB Harrington to Browns for pick By John Clayton ESPN.com After four difficult seasons in Detroit, quarterback Joey Harrington felt he found a safe landing place by agreeing to be traded to the Miami Dolphins and working out a financial deal. That ride might get tougher Sunday. The Lions failed to convince him this week to readjust his contract for a trade with the Chiefs or the Browns, so on Sunday morning, they plan to get tough. They are considering trading him to the Browns for a fourth- or fifth-round choice, and if he refuses to go, they are threatening to challenge his agreement with the Dolphins. Harrington visited the Dolphins and the Bengals after the Lions gave him permission to shop himself with a trade. He canceled a visit to the Broncos and decided to go to the Dolphins. Harrington and the Dolphins worked out a two-year agreement that would facilitate the trade. Because he has a $4.45 million salary and a $4 million roster bonus due around June 15, Harrington needs to restructure his contract before any trade. Although Lions president Matt Millen told Harrington he would let him go where the quarterback wanted, the Lions don't want to trade him for the sixth-round choice in 2007 being offered by the Dolphins. The Lions prefer a draft choice Sunday. A trade could be tricky with the Browns, who have seven second day draft choices. One possibility would be to make a trade with Cleveland that is contingent on Harrington reworking his deal with the Browns, and if he couldn't, he could be traded back to the Lions. The Dolphins' position is that Harrington wants to join their team. The Lions' position is that the collective bargaining agreement doesn't permit a secret deal and might go to the NFL Management Council for help. The market for Harrington in a trade diminished when the Broncos drafted Jay Cutler and the Chiefs drafted Brodie Croyle, leaving the Browns as one of the few options for the Lions aside from Miami. For Harrington, it means his exit from Detroit could become as difficult as his four-year stay.

    Has anybody ever tried to purchase CDs or music from other countries that was never released in the United States. I don't think I can drop $38.00 on a single CD, and am having trouble finding any sites that have the individual songs for sale.

    I am assuming this is highschool: ask your teachers to make announcements in class. Try and get on morning announcements maybe? At lunch, if you eat outside, bring a boombox and blast whatever music your people are into and try and gather everyone up, give out food or something. It's actually college, not high school. The usual things have been done by the both of us (sidewalk chalk, sheet signs, lawn signs, etc).

    Random Question for Everyone: I'm running for student body president up here at my school and my opponent and I are in a very close race. Tomorrow is the last day of elections, so I need to go out strong and mobilize some votes tomorrow to pull this off. Anybody have any ideas for creative ways to get the word out (besides posters and word-of-mouth)? I appreciate all of the help I can get.

  10. Mich. Governor to Sign Ultrasound Bill LANSING, Mich. - Gov. Jennifer Granholm will sign a bill requiring abortion providers to give pregnant women the option to see ultrasound images of their fetuses, a spokeswoman says. Granholm generally has opposed anti-abortion legislation, but the bill was amended so it no longer requires pregnant women to see the ultrasound images, spokeswoman Liz Boyd said Sunday. Until now, Michigan law has required that women seeking abortions be allowed to review diagrams and descriptions showing a developing fetus, but not their own. Abortion opponents hailed the new law. Right to Life of Michigan said it ensures that pregnant women have fuller access to accurate information before having abortions. Critics called it a further erosion of women's rights. The ultrasound bill is one of the "small, incremental steps ... all designed to put up barriers" to legal abortion, Kary Moss, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, told the Detroit Free Press. However, the ACLU does not plan legal action to block the measure, she said. The law passed the House two weeks ago on an 84-21 vote and unanimously passed the Senate last week. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060320/ap_on_...tion_ultrasound

  12. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060219/ap_on_...olocaust_denial Trial Opens for Accused Holocaust Denier By WILLIAM J. KOLE, Associated Press Writer VIENNA, Austria - A right-wing British historian goes on trial Monday on charges of denying the Holocaust occurred ? a crime punishable by up to 10 years' imprisonment in this country once run by the Nazis. ADVERTISEMENT The trial of David Irving opens amid fresh ? and fierce ? debate over freedom of expression in Europe, where the printing and reprinting of unflattering cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad has triggered violent protests worldwide. Irving, 67, has been in custody since his arrest in November on charges stemming from two speeches he gave in Austria in 1989 in which he was accused of denying the Nazis' extermination of 6 million Jews. An eight-member jury and a panel of three judges will hear the proceedings, which officials said could produce a verdict as early as Monday. Within two weeks of his arrest, Irving asserted through his lawyer that he now acknowledges the existence of Nazi-era gas chambers. The historian had tried to win release on bail, but a Vienna court refused, saying it considered him a flight risk. His lawyer, Elmar Kresbach, said last month the Third Reich historian was getting up to 300 pieces of fan mail a week from supporters around the world, and that while in detention he was writing his memoirs under the working title, "Irving's War." Irving was arrested Nov. 11 in the southern Austrian province of Styria on a warrant issued in 1989 and charged under a federal law that makes it a crime to publicly diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust. In the past, however, he has claimed that Adolf Hitler knew little if anything about the Holocaust, and has been quoted as saying there was "not one shred of evidence" the Nazis carried out their "Final Solution" to exterminate the Jewish population on such a massive scale. "What was he doing in Austria? God only knows. Possibly looking for an audience," Austrian state television said in a pre-trial commentary. Vienna's national court, where the trial is being held, ordered the balcony gallery closed to prevent projectiles from being thrown down at the bench, the newspaper Die Presse reported Sunday. It quoted officials as saying they were bracing for Irving's supporters to give him the Nazi salute or shout out pro-Hitler slogans during the trial, which will continue into Tuesday if a verdict is not forthcoming on Monday. Irving is the author of nearly 30 books, including "Hitler's War," which challenges the extent of the Holocaust, and has contended most of those who died at concentration camps such as Auschwitz succumbed to diseases such as typhus rather than execution. In 2000, Irving sued the American Holocaust scholar Deborah Lipstadt for libel in a British court, but lost. The presiding judge in that case wrote that Irving was "an active Holocaust denier ... anti-Semitic and racist." Irving has had numerous run-ins with the law over the years. In 1992, a judge in Germany fined him the equivalent of $6,000 for publicly insisting the Nazi gas chambers at Auschwitz were a hoax.

  14. Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday. Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong. Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance. Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060212/ap_on_...unting_accident
