This first bit is my own punctuation-filled rambling. Way back, I learned my ABCs – what some might write as A.B.C.s, but they would be wrong, because it isn't an acronym. Good writers don't need to know them. I mean, I'm pretty sure that P.G. Wodehouse knew his alphabet, but that isn't what made him great. Likewise, GCSEs and A levels probably don't matter all that much. Why? Because its all about passion! Isn't it?! Writing something that conveys emotion is something that people can do; computers can't. One thing I know Mr. Wodehouse could do well is put humanity into his text. | |

Another ex-Golden Stater, Paul Stankowski from Oxnard, is contending for a berth on the U.S. Ryder Cup team after winning his first PGA Tour event last year and staying within three strokes of the lead through three rounds of last month's U.S. Open. H.J. Heinz Company said it completed the sale of its Ore-Ida frozen-food business catering to the service industry to McCain Foods Ltd. for about $500 million. It's the first group action of its kind in Britain and one of only a handful of lawsuits against tobacco companies outside the U.S. A Paris lawyer last year sued France's Seita SA on behalf of two cancer-stricken smokers. Japan Tobacco Inc. faces a suit from five smokers who accuse the government-owned company of hooking them on an addictive product. | |

It would be nice to be able to scan for names as well. From the John Smiths of the world, to people like J.R.R. Tolkien's, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Tommy Lee Jones, right through to people like Hunter S. Thompson. And companies - isn't it more interesting to pick out Apple Inc. than just a plain old apple? IBM, HTC, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Pepsi- the list here could be endless. |
