From CNN.com - Father: Brain-damaged daughter responsive - Oct. 23, 2003:
"The father who has fought for more than five years to keep his brain-damaged daughter alive said when he visited her Thursday, she turned down his kisses, saying, 'Uh-uh.'
'I was in front of her and I'm kissing her on the cheek, and she doesn't like that,' said a smiling Bob Schindler after visiting his 39-year-old daughter Terri Schiavo.
He said he then asked, ''Do you want me to kiss you again?' She goes, 'Uh-uh. Uh-uh.' That's what I got from her.' "

Dave Barry on the Marlins Stunning 31-0 Win Last Night
His dig at the poor umpiring during this series is well waranted.
From Herald.com - Your Miami Everything Guide:
"Fortunately, the weather Wednesday night was spectacular, and so was the game, which the Marlins won 31-0, with a World Series record 17 home runs hit by Snook and Mullet.
Or, possibly not. As I've noted, I have to send these columns to The Herald before the game is over, so I've decided to make them positive and upbeat, in the hope they will come true.
But it's not going to be easy, not when everybody in baseball is so sure the Yankees are going to win this Series, with their huge payroll, their mystique, their talent, their constant cheating. Consider, for example, the first so-called ''run'' they allegedly ''scored'' in their so-called ''win'' on ``Tuesday'':
It was the fourth inning, the Marlins leading 1-0. The Yankees loaded the bases, then scored a run when, on a 3-2 count, Josh Beckett threw Jorge Posada a pitch that home plate umpire Gary Darling called a ball -- despite the fact that, in the TV replay, Posada can be seen giving Darling what Tim McCarver described as ``clearly a $100 bill.''"

Amazon Has New Feature
Starting today you can search inside a book! I don't think this works with all titles yet, but it is an interesting way to find books that mention a topic that might not be evident from the title. I did a couple of tests and found it to be pretty amazing!

Who Is the 31st Cardinal who's Name has been Kept Secret?
I believe if it is the Bishop of Hong Kong and it was made pubic before the Pope's death that he might be the next Pope.
From Rocky Mountain News: Opinion:
"Vatican watchers have speculated that the new secret cardinal-in-waiting may be Stanislaw Dziwisz, the pope's private secretary. But our hope is that the candidate is the bishop of Hong Kong, Joseph Zen Ze-Kiun, an outspoken advocate of religious freedom and human rights, whose appointment would undoubtedly annoy China's communist government in Beijing. "

Cardinal George Mentions a Few Cardinals that He Likes
Of those listed I've met Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga and attended a Mass that he said earlier this year. I liked him, for what its worth--he was very joyful.
From 'After John Paul, what do you do for an encore?'
"A very interesting man in that group is Angelo Scola," George said, talking about the 61-year-old cardinal-archbishop of Venice, Italy, who was among the 30 new cardinals. "He's been around and has been known internationally because he's a scholar."...
One potential candidate is Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, archbishop of Milan. "[Tettamanzi] is a very, very capable man, obviously, and well-respected," George said.
Another Italian whose name George mentioned more than once over the last week in Rome is newly elevated Cardinal Tarcisco Bertone, 68, the bishop of Genoa. "Everybody knew him. He was the No. 2 guy in for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith," George said, adding that Bertone was "very helpful" to the American cardinals last year when they were crafting new church law governing the handling of cases of clergy sexual abuse of children. "He has a lot of good will in the United States."...
George also spoke highly of Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna, Austria, who is widely considered to be among the strongest non-Italian candidates from Europe.
"He is well thought of in Europe. Whether as the pope or not, who knows. But he's someone who knows all the languages, is well-respected as a theologian, who has a very pleasant personality. He's a nice man to talk to, and that's important," George said. "Speaking to people here -- again, not as pope -- but as who are the bishops you respect, his name comes up again and again."
And George also likes Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, 60, of Honduras, saying, "He's obviously a very vigorous man, speaks all the languages, and is a very good man."
