Yep, I&#8217;ve got every single studio and remix album dating back to their 1986 debut, Please. Of course the group&#8217;s heyday was in the late 1980s but I&#8217;ve liked all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another game, another hit. And this time it was off probably the best pitcher in the league. Great hit from Quinn today. Clearly, the financial incentives need to be modified, so we&#8217;re dropping Quinn&#8217;s hit incentive down to $5 per hit.

He did better at pitching than he did last season, striking out one batter and walking a couple. He made a good play to pick off a runner in an attempted run-down.

I know the Oscars aren&#8217;t until March 7, 2010, but I thought I go out on a limb with my fearless predictions for the top categories. Yes, I know the nominations aren&#8217;t even out yet. But, here we go&#8230;

I was visiting our local Scouting store and saw this good book about the upcoming 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America.
