| The Futureheads vs The Maccabees, part two
He was in control, he was like the leader wasn't he – without being a tosser about it, he was like ‘if you want to do something it's gotta come through me'. Or ‘you've got an idea for a song, let's hear it – no, I'm not gonna start mic'ing that one yet ‘cause it hasn't got a big hook'.
BH: They were awesome 12-, 13-hour days and then he'd bugger off to Greece at the weekend to play a trance festival or play bass with The Orb in front of 30,000 people. And we'd be on the beach eating sandwiches…
(laughter)
J: But you wouldn't pick what vocals were used would you, he'd pick them. That's quite important…
BH: He can hear it from a different perspective to me – listening back to your voice it's not nice. You kind of hate it, all the little habits and inflections you don't want them to be in there, but actually those are the things that give you the magic.

Germany is certainly a lovely country but there's nothing lovable about the 5.60 Euro per gallon gas prices. CeBIT is certainly one of the more unique conventions I've been to since everything is spread out over a square kilometer and it's like going to 10 mini conventions. While you get some outdoor air between the halls, don't expect any fresh air with all the smokers there. The temperature delta certainly makes proper attire a challenge because it's too warm inside and freezing outside.
Nobel Laureate Estimates Wars’ Cost at More Than $3 Trillion
It is also an investment in the future safety and security of Americans and our vital national interests. $3 trillion? What price does Joe Stiglitz put on attacks on the homeland that have already been prevented? Or doesn't his slide rule work that way?" Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a decorated Marine Corp colonel and Vietnam veteran, welcomed the effort by Stiglitz and Bilmes to quantify how much the wars will cost taxpayers. "It's astounding that here we are about to mark the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and this administration still refuses to acknowledge the long-term costs of the war in Iraq," he said. By any estimate, the Bush administration's predictions in March 2003 of a self-financing war have proved to be wildly inaccurate. Stiglitz cites operational spending to date of $646 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, working off estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, presumes that spending on these wars over the next decade probably will amount to another $913 billion.

Tucker, 27, a features reporter at The Sun since November 2004, won in the category of feature writing. Her articles included one on Dr. Heather Cereste, a Texas physician treating the wounded in Iraq, who honed her skills during an intensive three-week training session at Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Other articles included visits with Ocean City lifeguards reuniting misplaced children with their parents, and with George, a Cockeysville mastiff competing in New York's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
"To win not one but two awards in one of America's most prestigious journalism contests makes this a truly special honor," Franklin said.
Baltimore's WBAL-TV, Channel 11, won the competition's grand award for television broadcasting, for Africa's Maryland. The 30-minute documentary, which aired in February last year, documented reporter Tim Tooten and a WBAL crew's visit to Maryland County, Liberia, an area colonized in the 19th century by freed slaves from Maryland.

Bill Conlin: Phillies' Utley, Howard, Rollins among best all-time at ...
CLEARWATER, Fla. - In late April 2002, the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were in their tightest alignment of about a 180-year period. By early May, Venus, Saturn and Mars were in as straight a rank as a celestial color guard. There were few hints during those evenings when thousands of amateur astronomers locked their telescopes on the western sky that the Phillies were headed for a similar alignment of stars five seasons down the baseball road. As the turbulent 2002 season entered its second month, shortstop and leadoff hitter Jimmy Rollins was in his second season. He would hit a disappointing .245 with an on-base percentage of .306 that many baseball men deemed unacceptable. He walked just 54 times and scored what so far is a career-low 82 runs. But J-Roll was the least of GM Ed Wade and manager Larry Bowa's problems.
