For those of you who pay attention to these details, you know that I maintain several calendars
for my use and yours. I collect, and input, all of the high school and college team schedules from

On June 26, Cristiano Ronaldo completed a $132 million transfer from Manchester United to Real
Madrid. In strict business terms, Real Madrid bought an asset from another business in hopes of

So I got a very thoughtful reply to a year-old post I made on the 6+5 rule "FIFA Approves Blatter's
