Talked to Hoss for a while at FanFest, and he said he feels great and added some muscle, still at about 227-228 pounds but fitter, after an offseason of lifting weights in workouts at his Atlanta home and Texas farm. He began hitting and throwing last week.

"The good thing about this organization during the offseason is, you feel like they're always going to give you the opportunity to be competitive," he said. "We're going to be competitive. You never know how things are going to work out.

When the general public is allowed to train for and get their concealed weapons permit they can defend themselves against incidents such as this. This scenerio might have played out differently if just ONE of those students held a concealed weapon. If they were given the opportunity to defend themselves. Do not push this off on firearms. That is just asinine. If not for firearms there would be no America. The 2nd Amendment is the number 2 amendment for a reason. Right after free speech. It must have been very important to our founding fathers if they put it at number 2 versus at the very bottom of the list let alone at all. England banned private gun ownership for a reason. Little to no resistance from an entity that is not armed and can be easily overcome.

The Shrink Rap

Upside: Air-conditioning 24/seven and the fact that the job requires absolutely no thinking or effort.
Downside: No time to sit down and the fact that the job requires absolutely no thinking or effort.
Wages: $6-$10 per hour.
Minimum age: 14 (for baggers), 16 (for everyone else).
How do I get this job? Start nagging your local supermarkets and drug stores … in March.
Hook-up factor: Low. There are two problems: a) Writing your phone number on grocery-store receipts is a bit too cheesy for most to pull off; and b) if you're a bagger, the only people you'd have time to flirt with are the people who are buying lots of groceries, i.e., moms (and dads!) with minivans and toddlers.

Job: Busboy, waiter, or hostess at a mid-priced restaurant.
They say you learn how to: Interact with people, read a wine list, serve food.

Arsenal 0-0 Milan

Finds a bit of space and fires in a shot from 20 yards that deflects behind for a corner. Much worse, Toure is limping off.

6 min: Lehmann! Catches the corner and hurls the ball 60 yards to Adebayor, pursued by five defenders. Arsenal corner, but Adebayor kicks Kaladze in the head and it's a free kick.

7 min: Senderos on for Toure. Bit of a blow this.

9 min: Long ball to Adebayor. Brilliant control and plays in Eboue on the right. Decent cross but Adebayor's header is easily saved. Some sneaky leaning-in-style defending from Nesta there.

11 min: Eduardo is playing on the left by the way. Adebayor up on his own.

12min: Nice spell of possession from Arsenal. Adebayor looks well up for this. Maldini dives in on Eboue. Corner.

13 min: Corner just evades Senderos and is hacked clear.
