| Max, a beagle's beagle
But the judge never picks him, and he winds up back in the Westminster doghouse. Snoopy has reason to believe this time. Ben Walker of The Associated Press. The picture on Sunday's Boston Globe sports page caught my eye a beagle padding down the runway with his tongue hanging out. It was Uno, who had emerged as a favorite at the Westminster Kennel Club's dog show. History was against him; a beagle never had won Best in Show in the 100 years of the event. The article described Uno as, "a tri-colored package of personality who loves to chew a stuffed frog toy. Barking and baying, he hopes to make noise and become the first beagle to win best in show at America's No.1 dog event." The story pulled my heartstrings. Those of you who were regular readers of my column between 2001 and 2006 will remember our beagle, Max.
Man City 1-3 Arsenal
Adebayor's answered that, hasn't he?" I would say so, yes. 72 min: Hleb cuts the ball back from the right, but Flamini's first-time shot is mis-hit. Even so, it forces Dunne to concede a corner with a miskicked clearance, but then City break and Lehmann is forced to slide in to concede a throw-in from a header. Hamann then gets away with a sickening late challenge on Clichy that should have earned him the yellow card that costs him a place in the Manchester derby. 74 min: The game's gone quiet. My inbox has not. "RE: Jojo Malig (56) mins and Arsenal/United fans briefly switching allegiances - is it me or does this seem to happen a lot?" says Liam Haydon. "By which I mean United and Arsenal playing the other's rivals on the same day, or at least the same weekend. Does it happens for other rivals too e.g Villa/Liverpool and Birmingham/Everton etc? doubtless the clearly still bitter Naylor will be able to enlighten us.
Dog survives avalanche, a week in the rugged backcountry
HELENA, Mont. (AP) Tom Pick saw the frightened look on his dog's face as the snow gave way, but he could only watch as a small avalanche swept the black Labrador retriever down the mountainside. ``I'll probably always see her eyes just looking up at me as she slid down into that thing,'' Pick said in an interview this week. ``You could tell that she was scared.'' That was the start of a weeklong ordeal for 3-year-old Lizzie, who somehow survived a week in the snowy backcountry before being spotted at a lake about 5 miles away. Pick, who had searched the avalanche chute in vain for the dog, said he and his wife are ``both still kind of pinching ourselves, afraid that it's a dream or something. We still don't know exactly what transpired.'' Lizzie was with Pick as he went backcountry skiing Jan.
Charlie Sheen: On the Record
The "Two and a Half Men" star issues a statement to ET. CHARLIE SHEEN is coming to ET to set the record straight about recent reports that his custody case has been settled with ex-wife, DENISE RICHARDS. "A published report last week detailing the outcome of our proposed custody settlement couldn't be further from the truth. The idea that we would agree to the exact provisions we've fought so hard to overcome is absurd. Once again, this derisive fiction recklessly provided by an 'inside source' is as transparent and baseless as the entire case against us." Lawyers for Sheen and Richards are due back in a Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday as they continue working out a custody agreement. .
Exhibit explores influence of Detroit comics
Comic books are not always a laughing matter or about mutants with out-of-this-world powers. They can also reflect the pulse of a culture, take a stab at the political climate, educate and tantalize. The Creative Arts Center in Pontiac explores the world of comics with its exhibit "The American Comic Book: A Detroit Perspective," through Feb. 16. The exhibit includes comic books and paintings by local illustrators Suzanne Baumann, Sean Bieri, Gary Grimshaw, Matt Busch and Matt Feazell. And as an extra perk, visitors will receive a free comic book. In addition to colorful, eye-popping images, the exhibit details the history of comics/cartoons, which, according to Carol Paster, executive director of the Creative Arts Center, is as old as America itself. .

Sure, sure, it's all been done before, but now I get to do it. Without further ado, here is my all-name team. 20 - Rod Smart - Who the Hell is Rod Smart you ask? Well he is none other than the fool who called himself "He Hate Me" and pretty much epitomized the debacle that was the XFL. 19. Elbert L. "Ickey" Woods - Running back his entire carreer for the Bengals. Hey, how many guys not named Humpty Hump have a dance named after them.

We supported Musharraf in spite of his dismal record in fighting terrorists.Our ``great decider'' has an emergency teleconference and hears of the crisis in Pakistan which may threaten Afghanistan.

Government orders biggest-ever U.S. beef recall
Officials said it was the largest beef recall in the United States, surpassing a 1999 ban of 35 million pounds of ready-to-eat meats. No illnesses have been linked to the newly recalled meat, and officials said the health threat was probably small. The recall will affect beef products dating to Feb. 1, 2006, that came from Chino-based Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. , the federal agency said. Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said his department has evidence that Westland did not routinely contact its veterinarian when cattle became non-ambulatory after passing inspection, violating health regulations. "Because the cattle did not receive complete and proper inspection, Food Safety and Inspection Service has determined them to be unfit for human food and the company is conducting a recall," Schafer said in a statement.
