| A look at the hopeful Dems
I'm not a politician" has been the well-intended, but now common, refrain offered by Democrats in the campaign to replace Rep. Dennis Hastert in the 14th Congressional District. Meant as a way to distance themselves from party politics and business as usual in Washington, the phrase has provided another common thread linking candidates Bill Foster, John Laesch, Joe Serra and Jotham Stein. From a policymaking standpoint, the quartet's overall philosophies align fundamentally and closely when it comes to, among others, withdrawing troops from Iraq, border security and reducing the middle-class tax burden. Agree as they might, the candidates often are the only ones able to point out what makes them different. Stein says he's the lone candidate talking about hungry children; Foster thinks his scientific approach works across the board; Laesch keys on his military background; and Serra touts a true "moderate" stance.
Buck & New Dawg: Did the Cowboys choke it all away?
Sometimes, you must treat players like dogs. BUCK: A team owner can do pretty much whatever he wants, but Jerry will not change his mind. Bringing back Wade is absolutely the right thing to do. It spells good karma going into camp next summer. Are the Rangers justified in raising ticket prices for the third year in a row? NEW DAWG: Rangers owner Tom Hicks is so lost when it comes to relating to his fans. I wish he would sell the team. BUCK: Hard to disagree with you here, Dawg. The right PR moves can still be made once the season begins: Special discounts, giveaways ... Bring-Your-Own-Pitcher Night. Joakim Noahs Chicago Bulls teammates banded together to bench him an extra game for conduct detrimental to the team. Is this appropriate action or vigilante justice? NEW DAWG: Noah is kind of a goofball.

Letters: Bush stimulus plan is voodoo economics
I think this rebate, like the one before it, is exactly that. I've been working for over 12 years as an AARP/IRS tax aide. We do taxes not only for older, retired people but also for younger people who are still in the work force. Many were very surprised when they learned upon filing their 2001 tax returns that whatever amount they received as a rebate in 2001 was deducted from their refund due in 2002. In my opinion, a better way to spur on the economy would be to encourage workers to make out a new W-4 form and make sure they aren't overwithholding. That way, they would have that extra money to spend with each paycheck. I've never understood why people want to let the government keep their money interest-free. If they need to save up for that big spring purchase, better to put that money in the bank.
Nips and tucks create wrinkle within families
When Kanye West's mother, Donda, died suddenly of complications after cosmetic surgery in November, the media homed in on the troubling history of her doctor and the risks associated with the procedure. The hip-hop star has yet to speak out on his mother's death, and there are many unknowns. But one question that might never be answered is this: How did Kanye West feel when his mother decided to undergo a tummy tuck and breast reduction at age 58? Or did she even tell him beforehand? Maybe not. With nearly 11 million cosmetic surgery procedures performed in 2006, it's more likely than ever that someone in your family has had work done. It might be as subtle as the spot removal of a stepmom's under-eye baggage. Or perhaps a parent's sudden and suspicious jaunt to Tuscany without packing more than pajamas.
Heath's Death Could Be Natural Causes
Always consider the source, and when it is the papparazzi and gossip mills, rest assured you are being spoon fed a steaming hot pile of crap.
It is a crying shame that Heath was raked over the coals within hours of death and false rumors started about illicit and prescription drug abuse. He was a good and decent man, so humble and down to earth which is a rarity in Hollywood these days. The toxicology reports will confirm Heath was NOT a drug abuser. But, unfortunetly the rumors and stories will continue despite the evidence because the papparazzi and gossip mills make huge money on sensationalism.

After red tide's toll, sea turtles return to Brevard County beach
Fluids flushed out the poison through an intravenous needle inserted in a vein under the shoulder.
"Then we let them sleep on the floor and gave them antibiotics," Bauer said.
The ones too weak to eat were fed fish puree through a tube, she added. Most of them have fully recovered and were ready to go home.
"We still have a couple that weren't ready, and Disney didn't release theirs today," Bauer said.
If researchers wait much longer, the water temperature will be too cold to return them to the sea. The water was about 68 degrees Wednesday.
"These are perfectly healthy, and it was either do it now or wait until April," Bauer said.
Scientists are awaiting test results on 10 dolphins found dead in Brevard and Volusia during the same time span, said Megan Stolen, a research biologist with Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute.
