Lieutenant colonel Greg Gadson is Giants' inspirational co-captain
He was there as an honorary co-captain of the Giants, there on the sideline at Lambeau because this Giants' season has become his season now and he wasn't going to watch from some box. This is a Giant at the Super Bowl worth knowing about, as much as any of them. "Me being a part of this team," Gadson was saying Monday night from his home in Virginia, having made it back there from Green Bay, "really starts with the team I played on at West Point." He played at West Point between 1985 and 1988, and one of his teammates was Mike Sullivan, who played cornerback and some safety and is now one of Tom Coughlin's assistants with the Giants. When Sullivan and so many other of Gadson's teammates found out what had happened on the night of May 7, found that Gadson had first lost his left leg to arterial infections and then his right, it brought that old Army team back together.

Bear Bets Wrong
The documents also cast serious doubt on the funds' supposedly strong performance before their July bankruptcies. More than 60% of their net worth was tied up in exotic securities whose reported value was estimated by Cioffi's own team--something the funds' auditor, Deloitte & Touche, warned investors of in its 2006 report, released in May, 2007. What emerges from the records is a portrait of a cash-starved portfolio piled high with debt and managers all too eager to add to the heap. The revelations shed new light on the murky dealings inside the booming $1.3 trillion hedge fund industry, which now accounts for up to a third of all daily trading on Wall Street. They seem to underscore critics' biggest complaint: that many hedge funds use astonishing amounts of leverage, or borrowed money, in sometimes reckless ways.
New TylenolEspanol.com Expands Access to Information About Tylenol(R ...
FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNeil-PPC, maker of TYLENOL(R) (acetaminophen), today announced the launch of TylenolEspanol.com, a Spanish-language version of the Tylenol.com website. While the English version has attracted millions of visitors since launch, the new TylenolEspanol.com website will provide Hispanic families and healthcare providers with access to the TYLENOL(R) (acetaminophen) product information and other health information that English- speaking consumers can routinely access at Tylenol.com. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2010, there will be nearly 48 million people of Hispanic origin living in the United States. It is critical for those who speak only Spanish or those whose English skills are still developing to have access to healthcare information that they can easily and fully comprehend.
Friend's Name
Instead of phrasing these issues as collective dilemmas that can be resolved through communal discussion and positive action, you use obviously divisive war rhetoric. I'm sure you'd love to lead a just crusade against the unenlightened, especially one that you've defined in such starkly moral terms (i.e. anyone who disagrees with you is choosing intolerance over freedom), but guess what? You can't resolve these problems that way. As the Women's Center has so ably demonstrated, you'll just end up alienating most of the campus from your cause as you bemoan their collective ignorance and intolerance. Fortunately (for everyone), neither you nor any other single individual or faction has a monopoly on the reins of power. That means you have to convince people, and you'll find that the old saying about catching more flies with honey than vinegar is almost universally true.
