And hopefully if we play well throughout the course of the season, we'll get a chance to play in Florence on national TV once again.

The fact that parents who smoke can exert a protective anti-smoking effect on their children might seem counter-intuitive.

The fact that Mark Fuhrman is a racist and lied about it on the witness stand does not mean that we haven't proven the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

In other words, they are more likely to take any windfalls to the bank, rather than to the store.

Males can influence how the female feels about pregnancy, whether or not she'll have an abortion, and how the baby will be raised once it's born.
