I read in yesterday’s paper that the good people who are responsible for regulating rowdy behavior at Virginia Beach nightspots are struggling to figure out the difference between a bar and a restaurant. They need to do this so that they can write tougher liquor laws for bars. But they’re finding it hard to define what differentiates a bar from a restaurant, as bars are required to serve food and many restaurants serve drinks. They’re working on a formula, the story said, that would define a bar as a place that has less than 15 square feet per patron and...

BENEATH BOSTON – With a tellingly simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, the last underground segment of Boston's Big Dig project opens Friday - completing major construction on one of the most complex and controversial engineering projects in human history. It may not look as dramatic as the Hoover Dam, but the revamp of traffic flows in one of America's oldest cities rivals any past US public-works project in complexity - and outpaced them all in cost. Its effects will be felt for decades and far beyond Boston: It is changing commuting habits here, may influence the prospects for any similarly large-scale efforts...

Men Drill Holes Without License PAROWAN, Utah (AP) -- Two men pleaded guilty to practicing medicine without a license for drilling holes in a woman's skull in a procedure they said was intended to restore her childhood buoyancy. Peter Halvorson, 54, and William Lyons, 56, were placed on three years' probation, fined $500 and ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation Monday. They could have gotten up to five years in prison if convicted. Some New Age followers believe the centuries-old drilling practice promotes higher consciousness and relieves depression.

While driving in this morning, I remembered something from Clinton's inauguration. Pres. Bush gave a 5 minute speech appropriate for an outgoing Pres, wishing his successor well, thanking the people for their support, etc. Then Clinton came on and insultingly started off saying that the last 12 years had been pantamount to living in the black hole of Calcutta. What do you want to be that, at "W"'s inauguration this Saturday Clinton will try to give one of his 1.5 hour self-appointed Apostle of Hope jags? And what are the chances of "W" saying, "our long National nightmare has ended, ...
