"George Bush today defended the US central bank's decision to bail out giant insurer AIG and
sought to reassure markets that his administration was intent on confronting the growing

Yesterday, thirteen players of Italian Serie C (Lega Pro) side Pescara have asked the club's board
to release them since they have not been paid in months. In fact, they've been paid only once since
the season began as the club continues to crumble financially.
Storm clouds were (literally) gathering as the Galaxy practice ended Monday at Home Depot
Center, the suffocating miasma of the sticky air seemingly reflecting the deepening gloom engulfing
the team.
Veteran Pete Vagenas, usually one of the friendliest and most accommodating Galaxy players,

I'm home and still catching up, so this will be brief. We're undergoing an audit by the State
of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week. (As Princess Sparkle

The Financial Times: "The panic in the world credit markets reached historic intensity [on
