Give Zook Credit???
I'll give Jared Lorenzen credit...
From Zook Bashers: Give Him Credit For This Victory - from Tampa Bay Online:
"Piling on Zook has become a cliche, but for a long while Saturday it seemed the mob who wants his head would have to be heard. This was as close to the brink of a lost season as you can come.
But those in the Gator Nation who have been beating on Zook, time to play fair. If the Miami collapse was Zook's fault, as many believed, he deserves credit for pulling off a rally that didn't seem possible.
Florida trailed 21-9 with less than five minutes to play, but it was worse than that. The Gators were tentative, almost intimidated. They had trailed since UK's first drive, and there was no reason to believe that was going to change. When asked what he was thinking at that point, Athletic Director Jeremy Foley replied, ``You don't want to know.''
Yes we do. "

Italy and the Vatican in Darkness
Having lived through the power outage of 2003, one can only sympathize with them. The pope named the new cardinals today with the aid of a sound system run by a generator.
From Nationwide Power Outage Hits Italy (washingtonpost.com):
"Power went out across Italy before dawn Sunday, plunging the nation into darkness, police and news reports said. Authorities did not immediately know the cause."

Congratulations to the Marlins!
As one of their faithful seven remaining fans, I'm overjoyed.
Thankfully, we don't have to worry about the scenario below...

Marlins Clinch Tie!
What happens if the Marlins lose their last three games and Houston and Chicago all win their last three? How will they settle a three-way tie between the three?

Pope's Wednesday Audience Cancelled
From Sick pope skips general audience:
"Pope John Paul II took the rare step of canceling his weekly general audience on Wednesday in the face of growing concern over his health, but the Vatican insisted that only a “minor” intestinal problem was to blame."
Here is a little more:
In an audio link-up from his summer residence south of Rome, the 83-year-old pope briefly greeted the disappointed crowd that had gathered to see him at the Vatican's large audience hall.
"Dear brothers and sisters, I send you all cordial greetings. I'm sorry I can't be with you for this regular weekly meeting. I carry all of you in my heart and I bless you," he said.
His voice, which sounded normal for his recent condition although a bit fatigued, filled the vast audience hall and brought tears to the eyes of some.
