Ronaldo fluffs his lines as Spurs' backbone shows
Arsenal are two points in front of us now and it will be nip and tuck until the end of the season. You cannot say who is going to win the league this season, but it looks like going all the way to the end.' Spurs boss Juande Ramos was right to take the positives from a performance that epitomised just how far he has taken this group of players in the last few weeks. 'It's very frustrating to lose a goal in the final moments, but I feel pleased with the level of many individual performances,' said the Spaniard, again speaking through a translator. 'It's good that we are coming away from a game against Manchester United feeling disappointed with a draw. I'm satisfied with the performances of Woodgate and Hutton and feel we are taking some steps forward.' This may prove to be a crucial point in United's pursuit of a second straight Premier League crown as they proved they can find a way out of a hole on a day when their match winner fluffed his lines.

Toronto considers $190 fee for tossing out trash
I wonder if it will be okay to use my 'Banner Dustless Ash-sifter', that rocks back and forth. Do you think the collectors will touch it. This thing was such a good idea back in the 40's. Mayor Miller could use one to rock and roll, what with the song and dance he is giving this city. Posted 08/02/08 at 7:17 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .

Escondido getting fourth Latino-themed supermarket
They aren't going to pack up and leave," said Hudson. "They have every right to have things in the community that serve them."Jo Ann Case, the city's economic development manager, said Escondido officials contacted the Stein Mart clothing chain and PetSmart last fall when they found out Ralphs was closing."There were no serious talks," Case said. "We were just making them aware that the site was available."City officials also would like to see a home decor retailer, such as HomeGoods, open on East Valley Parkway, she said.Case said she did not know if there was enough demand to support another grocery store in eastern Escondido, especially with a Fresh & Easy specialty grocery slated to open nearby on Jan. 30 at Valley Parkway and Ash Street."If Vallarta thinks there is enough business, then we wish them well," said Case.Abed said the city is not in the business of propping up monopolies or preventing market oversaturation.But, he said, the East Valley corridor badly needs something other than grocers, explaining that Albertsons, Vons and Ralphs also have stores there."Six or seven supermarkets will not make that area a destination," said Abed.Abed said he has no concerns that Vallarta's arrival will jeopardize plans to put a Target store nearby on the former site of the Escondido Union School District headquarters.A deal to put a Wal-Mart store carrying groceries on that site fell through in 2003, when Ralphs complained that a "noncompete" clause in its lease prohibited adding another food store in the Escondido Village Shopping Center.Abed said the plaza since has been divided, and that the Vallarta and Target sites are now owned by different people.In a phone interview, a Vallarta official said the family-owned chain is confident the Escondido location will be as successful as its 25 others in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura, Kern and Fresno counties.The company recently began a rapid expansion that includes opening four to five new stores each year."We've been targeting Escondido for a while," said James Lodenquai, human resources director for Vallarta, which was founded in the San Fernando Valley in 1985.
Visitors spoil RedHawks' party
She and her two girlfriends had set up shop at 2 p.m. Thursday, and roughed it through the night. They scored five seats in the first row in the corner behind the glass next to the goal that Miami would attack to start play. "Oh yeah, it was definitely worth it," Regueyra said. "It got absolutely freezing during the night, but we had plenty of blankets. They (campus officials) opened up Goggin for a little while so we could come in and hang out, but by midnight we were on our own. There was a lot of yelling and cheering, though, and everybody was having a good time. "Besides, it's nice and warm in here (Cady Arena) right now," said Regueyra, right before faceoff. She said she left the tent pitched during Friday's game and that "the guys" would inhabit it overnight and make sure to get tickets for themselves and Regueyra and her girlfriends for tonight.
