Hennings took first in shot put, 100-meter dash, and the 4x100 meter relay (with a time... Full story
I’m like a lot of people right now, what has happened to this year? I guess we can easily say that the weather was terrible this spring and nothing felt normal. I didn’t make it to any baseball games this spring, but then I didn’t freeze at any baseball games either.

I read with some incredulity your statements in your recent article about Obama’s reelection,” writes Tim Thompson of Bainbridge Island. “Foremost amongst them was a quote from Miss (Peggy) Noonan stating that she hadn’t heard a single person say they loved Obama as president. Now, in fairness, I’d have to say that in eight years, I never heard anyone I know say that they loved George W., but it would have been naive of me to assume that there weren’t a substantial number of people across the U.S. that were sincerely h...

Just as thousands of college graduates are walking across the stage to receive their diplomas, the U.S. Department of Labor announced frail May jobs figures.
