Daylight saving dates change; energy conservation remains

By Abdullah AlShihri · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

Benjamin Franklin, while a minister to France, first suggested the idea of daylight saving time in an essay titled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light.” That was in an essay published in the Journal de Paris in April 1784. But it was more than a century before an Englishman, William Willett, suggested it again, in 1907.

Why not me?

By Scott Leadingham · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

Life has a funny way of crapping on us when we least expect it. (So do birds, but a little shotgun action takes care of that problem. It’s much harder to punish life for taking a big No. 2 all over our aspirations.)

Miami’s Wade will try comeback this season

By Aaron Beard · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

MIAMI – Dwyane Wade’s dislocated left shoulder is so fragile there’s a risk of aggravating the injury when he sleeps. But come April, Wade figures he might be up to the rigors of the NBA playoffs. The All-Star guard said Monday he has decided to delay surgery and rehabilitate his shoulder with the goal of returning to help the Miami Heat defend their league title.

Impressed with blood

By Aparna Venkatraman · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

Scantily clad women. Arson. Average Joes beating the crap out of each other. Characters urinating on cop cars. No, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill weekend debauchery. This is the content of many of today’s video games, which lawmakers fear might influence the behavior of the impressionable young people who take in these images day after day.

Online Only: Excuse my French

By Matt Peyton · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

Amid the always-busy week leading up to spring break, it has dawned on me that I don’t speak a lick of French. Usually this wouldn’t be a problem (it also occurred to me that I don’t speak Arabic), except I’m going to Paris for spring break.

Prior yanked after getting 4 outs, allowing 3 runs

By Aaron Beard · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

PEORIA, Ariz. – Mark Prior’s return didn’t answer as many questions as it created. Prior, who missed most of last season because of injuries, started, allowed three earned runs and got just four outs before Chicago manager Lou Piniella pulled the Cubs’ former ace from Monday’s exhibition game against the Seattle Mariners.

Anna Nicole: death of a corporate scam

By Ryan Brown · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

One night, as I flipped through the channels, I came across what I assumed was an entertainment-based network showing clips and up-to-date info on the death and burial of Anna Nicole Smith. I was shocked to find out the late Smith, 27 days since her death, is still receiving headline coverage on one of America’s most powerful news stations: CNN.

Obama’s ‘audacity’

By Brian Stewart · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

Politics is not the nursery, as the philosopher Hannah Arendt always liked to say. But a glance at today’s retail politics shows this maxim to nontrue, if not exactly untrue.

Media menagerie

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

In my years of working at a veterinarian’s office, I saw pet owners exploit their animals to no end. Some clients would enter towing schnauzers in miniature Hawaiian shirts, while others dyed their pets pastel colors for Easter. Still, I don’t think I ever saw any situation worse than that of Ebony, a high-fashion furball, though not by choice.

The Oscars: the good, the bad and Jennifer Hudson

By Teri Rosenbaum · Monday, March 5,2007 12 a.m.

Last Sunday night, America wasn’t participating in a war or contributing to a debate on gay marriage. America wasn’t feeling the effects of global warming or developing new immigration laws. America wasn’t rallying against abortion or campaigning for its first black president. For one night, America stood united.
