| Bernanke Dismisses 'Stagflation'

I agree, bring Fesenko up now.
Looks like another mutany after the Price for Hart saga. Maybe Jerry just wore down from reading the message boards? I bet he gets up at 5 am like the rest of us to see how the Jazz are doing and what move to make next. We should have lobbied harder to trade Collins, Hart and Miles for Dwight Howard. Man would we be good then. The big story should be how the league allowed the Lakers to reload without giving up anything. Now thats the conspiracy. Bet we regret the Fisher move in the playoffs. .

War hero awarded Silver Star after his death
This month, the Marine Corps posthumously awarded Sean the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest award for bravery under fire, for his actions during the Fallujah firefight. The ceremony was Feb. 6. "It was the day he turned 25," Stokes said, then corrected himself. "Would have been 25." It was the first time a no-stripe private had been awarded the Silver Star since Vietnam, and only a couple of people got one even back then. Sean returned to the United States a changed man, his father said. He clearly suffered at least a mild form of post-traumatic stress. He would spend three hours a day working out, training in martial arts and kickboxing. He drove fast - way too fast for his father - and talked about buying a superfast motorcycle. Several months later, Sean's unit was deployed to Iraq.
Snow snarls North Texas roads more on its way
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for North Texas Thursday, particularly for areas along and north of Interstate 20. The winter storm warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Friday. "Theres another shot of cold air coming with a powerful upper-level trough right over North Texas," said Jennifer Dunn, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The conditions should persist through Friday morning, Dunn said. With Fridays daytime high temperature topping out around 40 degrees, those areas that received the heaviest snowfall should see the snow stick around through the day. It could reach the mid-40s in portions of the Metroplex. Cloud cover should clear out Friday afternoon and evening, leading to a freezing Friday night in the mid-20s.

Ralph Kiner - 1955 :
Colavito did return to the Tribe in 1965, but his best seasons were behind him and on July 29, 1967 the Indians once again traded "The Rock", this time to the Chicago White Sox. November 29, 1971 - Tribe Swaps FlameThrower for SpitBaller: For about a five year period that began in the mid-sixties "Sudden" Sam McDowell was truly the most dominant strike-out pitcher in the American League and reached the 20 win mark for the only time in his career in 1970. But, his numbers declined during the 1971 season and that winter the Indians shipped him to San Francisco for veteran starter Gaylord Perry and light hitting shortstop Frank Duffy. Perry's first season in the American League was a big success as he posted a 24-16 record and a 1.92 ERA with the 5th place Indians. He was named the 1972 American League Cy Young award winner.
