Bill wasn’t given enough consideration
The Hattiesburg Amercian Editorial, 2/17/9 Now that the $787 billion stimulus package has cleared Congress and awaits President Barack Obama’s signature, what can we expect?

Adams: Hamilton stands tall in Kiffin’s corner
http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2009/feb/15/hamilton-stands-tall-in-kiffins-corner/ Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton was convinced he had found the right football coach when he hired Lane Kiffin after the 2008 season.
