Bill Conlin: Phillies' Utley, Howard, Rollins among best all-time at ...

CLEARWATER, Fla. - In late April 2002, the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were in their tightest alignment of about a 180-year period. By early May, Venus, Saturn and Mars were in as straight a rank as a celestial color guard.

There were few hints during those evenings when thousands of amateur astronomers locked their telescopes on the western sky that the Phillies were headed for a similar alignment of stars five seasons down the baseball road. As the turbulent 2002 season entered its second month, shortstop and leadoff hitter Jimmy Rollins was in his second season. He would hit a disappointing .245 with an on-base percentage of .306 that many baseball men deemed unacceptable. He walked just 54 times and scored what so far is a career-low 82 runs.

But J-Roll was the least of GM Ed Wade and manager Larry Bowa's problems.

Father-daughter cancer story sold in living rooms

It was her first book, and Kelly Corrigan knew no matter how engaging her writing, how intriguing the topic or how established her publisher, a book tour was out of the question. Old-style, multicity book tours draw crowds only to celebrity authors, she was told, and even then they don't sell many books because most attendees already have a copy. What's left - word of mouth? Precisely, says Corrigan, a Radnor native and the author of The Middle Place (Voice/Hyperion Books). Corrigan and her father were diagnosed with cancer at the same time - an unusual circumstance that highlighted the overlapping roles of parents and children. Corrigan knew she needed to distinguish her memoir from others out there about surviving cancer. So she extended her options by asking friends and acquaintances across the country to host book parties in their homes.

Veeam Backup Now Available for VMware Backup and Replication

EMA's research has shown that automated backup and recovery is regarded as the most important and most effective data center automation discipline," said Andi Mann, research director at leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA).

Purdue irritates best fans

Kelly Rostine and her Paint Crew friends were looking forward to a five-day camping/tailgating experience at Mackey Arena.

With Purdue's 24th-ranked men's basketball team set to play tonight at No. 8 Wisconsin -- then hosting 11th-ranked Michigan State on Tuesday -- the student section, named for coach Matt Painter, can't wait.

But about 40 Paint Crew members camped Friday afternoon outside Mackey were told by university officials that they may not spend the weekend at the arena.

"They are not letting the students support the team," said Rostine, 21, a senior from Carol Stream, Ill. "If they are trying to kick us out for safety reasons, then what is the difference between us sitting (in the cold) for a football game or sitting outside for any other sporting event?

"All we want to do is support our team.

Willy Northpole and the Phoenix hip-hop scene explode

The George S. May Company is going to join Magedson's corporate advocacy program. (Kushnir declined to say how much he's paying.) Basically, Kushnir will pay Magedson to reveal the complainants against the company, and then Kushnir can do what he would have wanted to do all along — address them.

Good news for Magedson. But not such good news for the people who had anonymously blasted George S. May. After all, Magedson will be giving them up. And if they're current employees, they're probably going to be in trouble with a capital T.

Kushnir says he won't sue anybody — he's learned his lesson — but if it's a disgruntled secretary who called the founder a pedophile, it's hard to imagine things will end happily for her.

Kushnir says he's happy with how things ended. But the incident does raise some ethical questions.

In Sudan, another conflict could eclipse Darfur

This potential flash point is Abyei, a small, ethnically diverse enclave on the border between the Arab north and the African south. Now, a dispute is under way over who should control the district – a power struggle infused with ethnic rivalry, marginalization, politics, and greed.

"It's like Kashmir, where you have two big entities – the National Congress party leading the country from Khartoum for nearly 20 years and you've got major rebel groups on the other side, and both sides will not compromise on Abyei," says John Prendergast, an antigenocide advocate for the Enough Project in Washington.

From the Editor :

He was eyeing off one of the chicks and asked me whether he should give her his number or email. I suggested email (being overseas and all) so I wonder how lucky he got or whether he actually gave a crap what I thought. And ....good old Shoaib, got to hand it to him, he knows how to pick up the ladies. He was back and forth, chatting up different babes and I must admit, the ladies seemed to be giggling like school girls when he left (probably to chat up a dozen more).
