I got one! Justine Bateman

Bob Nicholson has resigned as Argos president. It's not clear to me if he found something better or was sacked. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=386426 ***** Martell Mallett is back, and has signed with the Ticats. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=386431

I thought you would like to hear this. I am on a mailing list where the fellow begins each day with a joke. Today's joke is... I joined the Columbia House compact disc club. So far they.ve sent me over 300 cds for just a penny, plus court cost.

I'll assume that the group has given up on this one. She is Patriot cheerleader and Doug Flutie's daughter Alexa Flutie.

I see that MapQuest has a new privacy policy as well.

The Argos have released Lin-J Shell. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=386162

I've still got the fruit cake and a package of crumpets.

Jeremaine Copeland has retired, and will be an assistant coach for the Ticats. Copeland played for championship teams in college (Tennesee), the XFL (Los Angeles?) and the CFL (Montreal and Calgary). http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=386031 ***** Solomon Elimimian has signed with the Vikings. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=386122

ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that Marc Trestman interviewed with the Colts for their head coaching job over the weekend. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=385954

I see that Brandon Browner will play in the Pro Bowl this Sunday. PS - I didn't know that Cameron Wake has played in it too.

aloc, making it mute won't make the computer generated lines go away! Gotta listen to radio for that!

All right, I'll give another clue for the brunette. I expect ESPN to cover her in the next two weeks because she is a Patriots cheerleader. Whose daughter is she?

The Stampeders released Joffrey Reynolds today. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=385844 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/stampeders-release-joffrey-reynolds/article2311650/

I guess the most famous example is Stranger in Paradise.

medjuck and Bill, that's what I've always assumed LTD stands for. Evan, you were one of the few I thought might know it! Paging conn!

Is anyone familiar with a site called FileShare? They are apparently a leading site for music, and they have, I gather, stopped all sharing. I read that now only the person who uploaded the song can download it.

Nope, not Cindy!

While we're waiting for sidewinder to give a clue, here's one you're not likely to get. She is the daughter of someone famous, and she is likely to be seen on ESPN in the next couple of weeks. Whose daughter is she?

I had forgotten all about Lawrence Tynes, who won the NFC Championship Game with an OT field goal today. I guess he turned out to be the Renegades' most successful player!

Thanks Spontooneous! I don't know Stuffy Turkey either!

Didn't Edgar Rice Burroughs write stories about life on Venus?

I'm not familiar with the title Stuffy. Is that common? I know it as Rifftide.

The Colts decided to hire someone other than Jim Popp. Here's a TSN roundup of players looking to sign with the NFL, or otherwise explore free agency. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=385704

Just to follow up...I didn't get nearly as much money for Christmas to spend on a computer as I had hoped for. As a result, I've been unable to follow your suggestions. I settled on a refurb from Newegg which I believe is three years old. They would not add more memory for me, but I expect that won't be a problem down the road. There are two programs I want to buy, both requiring 1 meg memory, and this should do the trick for them. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883155189 Thanks again for your thoughtful suggestions.

The LA Times obit discusses how she spent most of her life in Los Angeles. Because so many of her records were for Chess, I had always associated her with Chicago. RIP.
