What a beautiful Rockwell moment that must have been.

California law strictly bans smoking in offices, bars and restaurants, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a longtime cigar smoker has proposed converting the state Capitol's interior courtyard into a "smoking plaza." Under the actor-turned-governor's plan, part of the Capitol's roof would be removed to create an area where legislators and other Sacramento visitors could smoke. The governor's spokeswoman, Terri Carbaugh, explained that Mr. Schwarzenegger wants to create an informal meeting and schmoozing area where he can smoke cigars with lawmakers and other power brokers. "It's a more positive environment where they can all be on an equal footing, as opposed to everyone going into the governor's office where he's behind his desk," the spokeswoman said. But the cigar-loving governor has to face the opposition of several antitobacco groups, who accuse him of thwarting California's efforts to cut tobacco use. Smoking in restaurants has been banned in California for almost a decade. In 1998, the ban was extended to bars, and since the end of last year, smoking has been prohibited anywhere within 20 feet of a public building's entrance. "That's very frightening that would even think about smoking inside the heart of our state Capitol," said Jim Walker, the director and founder of Stop Tobacco Abuse of Minors Pronto. "He could do more good by championing our cause rather than trivializing it." Last Saturday in Sacramento, several dozen protesters demonstrated in front of the Capitol to denounce Mr. Schwarzenegger's project to turn the Capitol courtyard into a smoking patio. "We are deeply disappointed at several recent public depictions of your use and promotion of cigars and urge you to refrain from modeling this dangerous habit," the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and the American Lung Association wrote in a recent letter to Mr. Schwarzenegger. The Austrian-born former bodybuilding champ, who once headed the President's Council on Physical Fitness, has appeared twice on the cover of Cigar Aficionado magazine and frequently has smoked cigars at public events. Antitobacco groups are worrying about the impact he can have among young fans by making smoking looking cool. "Schwarzenegger has been one of my heroes through the years, thanks to his confidence and his positive attitude, and I would hope that rather than turning this back on the thousands of families that have lost loved ones, he would take up and champion our cause," Mr. Walker said.

Steff, you know it. Frank has kept himself in excellent shape but I can't see him playing 120 games at 1st without hurting himself or someone else.

I think Frank would have a great 1st half in the NL

I lie about my age all the time. I look damn good for 55. I'm a pethetic mess at 42. Works really well on South Padre Island during spring break. Geeky, pathetic middle age guys aren;t nearly as cool and sexy grandpas

He would have been an adequate replacement for Colon. But nooooo we have our choice of unproven minor league call ups.

s***, you were unretired faster than Clemens. Maybe you should change your name to Roger Clemens 4ever

Void the Deal, Void the Deal

My guess would be JR Like me now? Like me now? Hey Kenny feel my bicep and I'll give you an extra 500,000 to spend. Violent mood swings? Maybe Kenny and Steff (kidding dear) Hmmm, my guess would be if this thing heats up, and guys get busted based onFedEx shipments, players would ask for trades putting them closer to the California epicenter of the designer industry. Guys who have played for one team for years would suddenly want to be a Dodger. Or maybe the Angels.

Small Budget - Steroids and you have a mid major college program. College baseball can be a lot of fun. No one wants to publically favor steroids

No, I didn't want them to drive either. I suggested, instead of me driving to a restaurant, that we * walk * to Hooters which was 50 yards away The Buffalo Shrimp are a personal favorite.

Seems like everyone is in a mood for this I have added one since I was in Dallas for a frickin' blizzard (ok 3 or 4 inches) Why is it just because I was born and spent 35 years in Chicago that Texans think I am the only one qualified to sweep snow from a rental van? Let the lackey freeze, we can't figure that out. And magically, by me touching the wheel, the van will not slide on snow or ice

What a lovely f***ing day anyone hear A-Rod is building a fence to keep his Jewish roomates out of his MP3 playlist, because it contains emenem songs about killing the president? He is also posting hotchickpix on his website which links to the official Yankee website. I just heard it on . . .

If you just want to feel good and damn the reality, skip the next paragraph It's going to be a nightmare. The Cubs will win their division and the Sox will finish 3rd, maybe 2nd. We've lost starters that are being replaced with question marks. How can you not be negative when you're Ace has declining stats over the past 4 years, your #2 guy had a career year, can he repeat? and after that Who's going to close? An unknown from Japan? Got Leadoff Got 2nd Got a stick at 1st Got CF Of the past 3 or 4 seasons, this is the worse Sox team assembled to date. sorry if that offends someone. Let's Be Happy! Yeah! Anything can happen. Two or Three guys could have E-Lo type seasons, Hell all 5 could! Mark, Estaban, Jon, who cares who's pitching, they could all be 20 game winners! E-Lo came out of nowhere to win 20! And we have Zero; the greatest closer in baseball! Kong is over due for a great season. Frank's happy. We got Ozzie!!!! Yankees got A-Rod and Jeter? f*** them we got Joe and Jose! Who could want more? Go Team!!!

The policy is simple. You shell out money to start and maintain a BBS system and you can do whatever you please. I love it when capitalism and free speech collide. I believe the real powers to be here (not the mods) are more tolerant than I would be in the same situation. I cannot suspend anyone and have barely learned how to delete a post and close a thread.

you mean PA doesn't stand for Physicians Assistant!?

If you find the right spot to jam your finger up. When talking to a MD friend of mine he mentioned that almost no one does the exam correctly. You have to find the small area there where you finger will go way up. Most PA, MD, RN do not spend the time to do it correctly.

Then how isw it different for a house and for a garden? Are they running two water mains to your house?

Steff, I believe it depends on where you live. Some areas have wells for the pools, garden, etc. and city water for the home use. Others, it's the same stuff coming in from the city's main line.
