We've had a difficult and trying time with all the political troubles but throughout that period, football has been a unifying force and the fans remained supportive.

The original plan was to go to Purdue (University) this weekend, but they changed their meet to last weekend so we changed it to Northern Iowa.

We had a great crowd tonight, and everyone paid. There were no passes for anyone tonight because it was a conference event. And if we hit 70,000 for a season, that is pretty remarkable. Everyone here at Northern really appreciates our fans. They are the best.

There is skepticism among unionists as the IRA is blamed for the huge Northern Bank robbery last year and the question they are asking is: Will that money be used as pensions for old IRA fighters or to buy new arms,

This weekend's game is the biggest challenge you can have as a club, and we want to do ourselves justice following two previous poor performances on the road in the Heineken Cup. This is about playing for pride and measuring ourselves against the best in the northern hemisphere.

This temperamental disposition towards an art that was earnest and devoted to things as they are was corroborated by the experience of having been born and brought up in Northern Ireland and of having lived with that place even though I have lived out of it for the past quarter of a century.

We got lucky to get Northern Illinois after a tough Sunday through Tuesday swing for them. They were fatigued and it was certainly to our advantage.

We changed our schedule some this year, played northern schools during the regular season. It helped a lot ... playing those schools we wouldn't normally see until the state tournament.

We are used to getting open without a whole lot of effort in our league (the Northern Lakes League). Those guys switch screens hard and they jump out on you. You've got to be that much better execution-wise.

We're very much concerned about the coast, primarily Georgia and the Carolinas, but it could still be even as far west as northern Florida. It's erratic. It could do something weird.

This new People Access Security Service, or PASS system card, will be particularly useful for those citizens in border communities who regularly cross northern and southern borders every day as an integral part of their daily lives. We're talking about essentially like the kind of driver's license or other simple card identification that almost all of us carry in our wallets day in and day out.

Bertie Ahern, your writ does not run here in loyal Ulster. Any man that talks to Sinn Fein or the Dublin government about the internal affairs of Northern Ireland is a traitor.

a step of unparalleled magnitude in the recent history of Northern Ireland.

FAO is concerned that poor countries in southeast Europe, where wild birds from Asia mingle with others from northern Europe, may lack the capacity to detect and deal with outbreaks of bird flu.

There's not a better back court, I believe, as far as their quickness, experience, defense and scoring. We've got the two best guards in northern Wisconsin. Both of them are very quick and their speed on offense wears the other team down on defense. When the other team gets worn down, that can cause more turnovers.

I've been involved with O'Connell tennis since the mid-80s. I've also been involved in coaching a number of sports in Northern Virginia since the 1960s. I guess you could say that I'm a kid that hasn't grown up.

I've spent a lot of time with Steve, from Northern Ireland, to Sarajevo, to Utah, but probably most memorably, to our annual New Year's pilgrimages to our house in High Falls, where we have what we call in Ireland 'a bit of a piss-up' for three days. I know it's probably the time that I'm supposed to tell a funny story or two about Steve ... because he's such a funny man, but they're private. You're not going to get them.

I've stood outside my house in Montana looking at the northern lights... crackling against the night sky. To me, that's magic.

It would be a tragedy, I believe, to see this kind of a green facility simply bulldozed simply for the purpose of houses.

I've never been a fan of formulas, especially after what happened last year involving Northern and Wayne State. The one positive thing is that this formula is being applied using new money. In other words, we're not saying we want to give more money to this university and take it away from this university. You would use new money to apply this formula.

I've always wanted to be here. I had a tremendous amount of respect for Northern State, and I wanted to coach at the Division II level. I have nothing against the NAIA, I just want to be a Division II coach. So when the position opened up, I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to be here. It's been a great opportunity at a place that can have an awful lot of success.

Sometimes people think the rare birds are most interesting, but that's not true. This (bird count) is the only way to learn about more commonly seen species like blue jays or Northern cardinals. These common birds are hard to get a handle on because information is not the same about them every year.

Sometimes people are just passing through, maybe from northern Ohio, they're just passing through, they'll see the sign and stop to buy some tomatoes, ... We had one guy that stays in Florida during the winter, and he wants tomatoes to take to Florida with him.

Rumsfeld wants that firewall between Northern Command and DHS because he's legitimately afraid that otherwise, Congress will rob the Defense budget to pay for homeland-security initiatives. The problem with that approach is that it provides no incentives for senior NorthCom leaders to build relationships with mayors and governors around the country, closely studying what capabilities they have and exactly what kind of help they would need in a disaster.

Sadly, since last year's first memorial service, 14 police officers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland have lost their lives serving the public good,

On the whole, it's been an extremely wet month, especially in Southern and Northern Utah. They really pulled things out of the fire. They were looking pretty bad right up until the start of March.

Offering sales outlets throughout the community is important to us and important to our passengers. Making riding the bus convenient and easy is one of our goals. U.S. Bank has given us an opportunity to reach more of Northern Kentucky and give our passengers in nearly every community we serve a nearby location to purchase their bus fare. And hopefully, having bus passes in each branch will give U.S. Bank the opportunity to turn some of our customers into U.S. Bank customers.

Northern Line trains are not being maintained to an adequate standard.

Northern Ireland still suffers from its past, and it will take generations to escape sectarianism and for violence to end totally. Nonetheless, it is in a different place now than during the Troubles, and it will not go back to the old days.
