SISTER MARY ALBERTA C.D.P. PART 3

As the first few weeks of school unfolded the battle lines became frighteningly clear. Our eighth grade became divided into three groups...the meek and humble victims who sat in shock and awe....the "laughers" or "mockers", who, early on were herded into about three rows together and told to open their desk tops and hide there heads inside whenever they felt the urge to laugh, chuckle, or howl....and the wildly unpredictable Sister Alberta. I say unpre...

The shutdown line of Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek was shut down Sunday after the Pens allowed two goals to Steve Downie in the span of 11 seconds. A day after allowing five goals to the Winnipeg Jets, coach Dan Bylsma mixed and matched defensive combos for much of Sunday’s 4-2 victory against Tampa Bay.

Here’s what we know. Only Deryk Engelland (15:23) saw less action...

Pro’s & Cons of Prospects Trading

No one really wants the Pens to trade away a part of their future, but Pens GM Ray Shero has shown a willingness to do whatever it takes if he thinks his team has a chance at the Cup. This season represents a gray area for Shero because of the uncertainty surrounding Crosby. It looks like he...

Culpability For The Inelegant Release Of Bruce Arians

Bill Molinaro — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:26:50 +0100

The responsibility for the diminishing of Mike Tomlin's authority may not totally rest with Art Rooney II. Tomlin must've understood that the Steelers ownership was unhappy with the offense: they indicated that at the end of last year and again at the beginning of the 2011 season. The $64 question is: did Mike Tomlin have any dialogue with the ownership about retaining Bruce Arians prior to his premature statements that Arians would be back. If n...

Looking at the NHL sellers is getting tougher by the game. In the last five seasons, the eighth playoff seed compiled 93, 88, 93, 94, and 92 points, respectively.

The Carolina Hurricanes rank last in the East with 49 points in 54 games. They would have to go 20-5-3 the rest of the way (or some similar combo) to reach the ...

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGES

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGES
Next Sunday my church will celebrate World Marriage Day. In the past, the priest at our church has asked all married couples to stand for a special blessing, followed by all married people who were in the church without their spouses for a similar blessing. If you didn't qualify for either group, you were to remain seated....blessing-less. One of my friends said he felt like the message was.." and the rest of you can go to hell." (borrowing a phrase from Bishop Zubi...

The United States, since the end of World War II, in terms of world dominance and power, has often been compared to past empires: the Roman and British, primarily – figuratively, not literally, because the rise of nationalism has effectively stymied empire building.(T...
