The Nuesse-gate hearings begin later this month, and we'll hit this story as hard as ever. One of the stars on the city's long list of witnesses is none other than the old wise man himself, Kevin Baxter.

I like Canadians, so if Ohio really becomes part of Canada, I’ll try to deal with the situation with good grace, although I refuse to become an ice hockey fan or to learn how to speak French.

James Parlin, the Pennsylvania artist whose sculpture was removed from the Little Gallery at BGSU Firelands, has issued a statement giving his take on the whole affair.

President Barack Obama has just given a speech in Arizona announcing his program for helping homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments.

This has proven to be my most difficult month. I have only lost a couple of pounds. We haven’t done an inch measurement because Trevor Tieche, my personal trainer, has been out of town and I have had to work out on my own.

The week of March 8 was a great workout week and only a so-so diet week. The workouts with Trevor were some of my best since we began. I completed three workouts, each about 90 minutes. I am beginning to feel a little quicker in my agility drills and much stronger with the weights.

This past week has been uneventful as far as dieting and working out. I came down with flu-like symptoms on the afternoon of Feb. 15 and ended up with the flu and pneumonia until late in the afternoon on Feb. 19.

As far as eating is concerned, this has been the most difficult week for me. I had swim meets on Feb. 3, Feb. 6 and all day Feb.7 (41st Annual Ken Gipe Relays).
