A sweep left to Ahman Green gets four, the Schaub goes over the middle to tight end Owen Daniels for the first down. From the 25, Green gets a pair up the middle. Ron Dayne (yes, Ron Dayne) gets four up the middle, then Schaub goes deep up the sideline for Kevin Walter, who's by himself in the end zone, but Schaub sailed him. Tillman fell down when Walter ran a hitch. The mid-range field goal is good.
Texans 3, Bears 0, 1:44 left in the first quarter
Garrett Wolfe fields the kick six yards deep and backpedaling in the end zone, and decides to take it out. He gets back to the 20, which he could have done if he had just kneeled. Brian Griese comes on and Rex's night is finished at 8-for-10 for 50 yards. Benson gives way to Adrian Peterson, who runs into the line and falls forward for one.
The Tragedy of Britney Spears
Only a few kids are in the store, a young girl with her brother and two blondes checking out fake-gold charm bracelets. Britney rifles the racks as the Cure's "Pictures of You" blasts into the airless pink boutique, grabbing a pink lace dress, a few tight black numbers and a frilly red crop top, the kind of shirt that Britney used to wear all the time at seventeen but isn't really appropriate for anyone over that age. Then she ducks into the dressing room with Ghalib. He emerges with her black Am Ex. The card won't go through, but they keep trying it. "Please," begs Ghalib, "get this done quickly." One of the girls runs to Britney's dressing room, explaining the situation through a pink gauze curtain. A wail emerges from the cubby — guttural, vile, the kind of base animalistic shriek only heard at a family member's deathbed.
Dann leaves Walsall for Coventry
Dann has played regularly for Richard Money's League One promotion chasers this season. New boss Iain Dowie said he was looking forward to working with Dann. He said: "Scott is an immensely bright talent with a promising career in front of him. He certainly has age on his side. "He has been a consistent performer for Walsall in both their promotion campaign last year as well as this season and there's no doubt in my mind that he will be a valuable and exciting addition to our squad. "He is comfortable on the ball, with an excellent range of passing and he has also chipped in with a few goals over the last couple of years." .
Swing to Obama Expected
UN anti-drug crusaders seeking to make criminals out of millions of Americans who safely use marijuana are alienating public opinion against the UN. The American public increasingly shows it understands that in other countries where street drugs are decriminalized and taxed to raise government revenue, drug related crime disappears, AIDS and hepatitis cases decline, hard drug addicts seek medical treatment, drug addiction wanes and drug problems are greatly and economically reduced. The US had no marijuana, cocaine or opiate problems until the turn of the century. American prohibitionists lied and coerced the public into adopting their regressive laws in order to control Hispanic, African and Oriental immigrants by making their drugs of choice illegal, Before that, tinctures of hashish and opium were used medicinally and sold over the counter with no apparent problems and Coca Cola contained real cocaine Like with Alcohol prohibition, drug prohibitionist laws have resulted in the imprisonment and murder of thousands and the growth of a multi-billion dollar drug trade that corrupts justice and governments.

You would think an area that touts itself as the Valley of the Sun, with 320 days of sunshine, would be used to heat. Well, it's about to get a lot hotter. Never has the sun shone so brightly here as it will for Super Bowl XLII on Feb. 3. Sure, Tempe hosted Super Bowl XXX in 1996, but 12 years later the Phoenix area has grown by more than a million people, added some 100 miles of highways and is building light rail transit. Meanwhile, Sky Harbor Airport has constructed an additional runway and control tower and now is one of the 10 busiest airports in the nation. And that's to say nothing of Glendale's year-and-a-half-old University of Phoenix Stadium, with its retractable roof and rollout grass field. Indeed, the site of Super Bowl XLII was recently voted the best NFL stadium by Sports Business Journal.
