They are, but there aren't enough of them. There's room for a tweener, for believing Notre Dame's days of being a consistent, big-time player are long gone and that Weis should be jettisoned.Football is a blessing and a curse for Notre Dame, but mostly a blessing. The sport gives the university meaning and attention, hauls in money and brings students together in ways a kegger can't. There's...

Too bad the summer is already long gone, but that's no reason to mope around and forget about planning for next summer. Open Air Cinema has just released its new 16-foot inflatable projection screen that can be easily folded up into a 20-pound bag, making it a snap to tote around when traveling. When the whole screen is fully inflated, it will remain in place thanks to half a dozen straps. This is...

Ow, this stove is ... not particularly hot. Ow, this stove is ... not particularly hot. During other, long-gone and apparently equally endless offseasons, Bill Veeck used to call up one of his fellow owners and engineer a "dog-and-cat trade" -- a swap of generally useless utility infielders or outfield caddies or what in a few more generations would be called middle relievers. The idea wasn't...

Returning to the reflections tafsir series that we started in Ramadan after too long of a break long, I want to start by reminding myself and all readers, especially in these highly virtuous ten days of Dhul Hijjah, of our main purpose for reading the Quran. The Quran was sent down to us for guidance and that we may ponder upon its ayaat and implement the noble guidance within them. As...

It's always been a little interesting to me how a long-gone musician's legacy can develop with the passage of time....

We've pretty much crossed the point where our favorite shows will be sent prematurely to the grave RIP Pushing Daisies . Not that the networks would be opposed to cancelling even more programs watch your back Sarah Connor . But how about the shows that are already long gone?

echoes. wind. late afternoon. wide grassy fields, abandoned dreams. another island. deserted, but not forgotten. a quiet little spot, all by myself, away from the whistling wind, away from the outside, away from a moment ago. there, in that moment. being silent. listening. remembering, now. a step into the velvety past. a step away from time. a step into the peace and calm and solitude of a place long...

2008/12/4 Foo JH Hi all, The recent discussion on a date-time module leaves me wondering: Given that time() only works up to year 2023, is there a successor module which can go beyond 2023, and earlier than 1900? What will be the code implication to support this new module? I think thats actually supposed to be 1st Jan 2038 rather than 2023 (as says my WinXP 32 bit Centrino):- print scalar localtime(...
