Giants re-sign Vizquel
However, if you think this is all they are doing, then you don't really know what is going on. The Giants need to make a pretty big splash in this offseason, or risk a drop off at the gate next year. Posted By: unca_chuck | November 09 2007 at 02:28 PM .
Obama Spends Heavily to Seek Knockout Blow
The intensity of Mr. Obama's drive is especially apparent on television, where he has outspent Mrs. Clinton by nearly two to one in the two states. That is helping him eat deeply into double-digit leads she held in polls just weeks ago. But after a month in which she raised $32 million a remarkable amount, but still less than the $50 million or more brought in by Mr. Obama Mrs. Clinton is fighting back. The expenditures of the two Democratic presidential candidates, combined with a travel schedule that sent them and their surrogates from border to border in Texas and Ohio, reflect the expectation that the voting this week may be climactic. Mrs. Clinton's advisers have suggested that she will bow out of the race if she falters in either state, after 11 straight losses.

Fred Friction and Frederick's Music Lounge Reunion Show
Frederick's Music Lounge lives on.
Well, sort of. The beloved St. Louis music club closed two years ago, but its spirit survives with the second annual Fred Friction and Frederick's Music Lounge Reunion Show.
It's scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Saturday at Off Broadway with performances by the Saps, Earl, the Dirty 30s and Jonathan Baer.
Tony Boersma, a former Frederick's "drunken regular" eventually promoted to "door guy," is behind the reunion show.
"It was always a place where I could see music five nights a week," he says. "And just about everyone I met in St. Louis, I met there." .
Concealed carry law should be very limited
Ms. Pettie's letter advocating a concealed carry gun law (``NIU shooting shows need for concealed carry law,'' YourViews Feb. 21) offered a few valid points, as do most letters on either side of this debate. I won't argue too hard against her opinions because I share some of them.At the risk of alienating 50 percent of my friends, I offer my own thoughts:A person who cares not if they live or die will not be deterred by an armed population. If they are so sick that they don't care about taking precious human life, then no law or lack thereof will stop them.Any person who plans such a heinous crime in advance will have the element of surprise on their side and will have great advantage against their victims.If you ``get the drop'' on someone you will win the fight. Ask any law enforcement official or military veteran.Besides, most of these sorry souls take their own lives soon after their carnage is complete.Unless a person has extensive training in the use of firearms via law enforcement or military experience, they have no idea how to react to such a situation and should not be carrying a weapon.Imagine this: If 10 of those students or professors in the room at Northern Illinois University were armed when the gunman attacked, is it too far fetched to think that in the confusion and panic that some of those 10 armed citizens would have begun to fire their weapons and that some of those who began to fire might mistake those who are firing as attackers?I have come to believe that the only private citizens who could possibly be qualified to carry guns are current or retired law enforcement and military personnel and they should all have to pass established mental health requirements on a yearly basis.Russ ManuelHudson .
