Requiem for Old-Time Radio
I remember what we now call "terrestrial radio" with ridiculous fondness. I recall huddling with it long past bedtime, the volume set low, hoping to hear something I loved. Thus the truism of how radio is the most intimate medium: You're in bed with the lights out, the music and the DJ's voice going straight into your brain, the images created are yours alone. I remember, with terrible pangs of longing, my first days as a college radio DJ. Doing a 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. slot in a small town in Ohio, even if, during those still and wintry nights, I could have been the last living person on earth for all the people who were actually listening. All of which testifies to how old I am. Realities of the music world—the explosion in both expression and availability, first on independent labels and now everywhere, thanks to the Internet—began overtaking commercial radio stations well over 20 years ago.

Three weeks until it begins anew
I honestly believe that Kelly Johnson and Escobar are going to be good table setters and that Mccann and Francoeur are going to blossom into big stars. I also expect Chipper Jones to play at least 140 games and have a monster year with Texeira and him having runners on base all year long. Should be fun, can't wait .
Damaging Tornadoes Hit the South
No fatalities were immediately reported in Prattville, outside Montgomery, but two people were critically injured, said Fire Department official Dallis Johnson. Twenty-seven people had minor injuries, officials said. About 200 homes were damaged or destroyed. A curfew began as darkness fell Sunday. A 35-bed mobile hospital unit was set up outside a Kmart to treat victims with minor to moderate injuries so that hospitals could take those with serious injuries, Dr. Steve Allen said. Toppled utility poles and storm debris littered the area. Shelters opened at churches, and school buses shuttled storm victims out of the stricken area to the city center. David Shoupe, 18, assistant manager at Palm Beach Tan, said he and a co-worker barely made it into a laundry room before the roof fell in and the wind tossed shopping carts aloft.

Taking the leap: Feb. 29 is becoming the big day for couples
Miller, 45, is still tweaking the fine print. "Well, yes, we'll do a big celebration every four years, but in between those years, we'll do something small and special, either Feb. 28 or March 1," Miller says with a wink in her tone. Tammy Degroot, a file clerk in the Macomb County Clerk's office, says the anniversary date question has even come up with the couples she's helped. "I had a bride ask, 'When do we celebrate our anniversary?' and I told her that was up to her and her husband-to-be. I think that's the point. You get to choose," Degroot says. Mary Green, who co-owns Victoria Wedding Chapel in Waterford Township, tells a similar tale. "Four years ago, I had a bride get married on Leap Day and just before she walked down the aisle, she turned to me in a mild panic and said 'Wait a minute.
