Wise is returning to practice this week."I think it's probably been trying for everybody, so what I totally admire and respect about our players is how they've handled not only [the coaching] situation but this injury thing and the makeshift lineups," O'Neill said. "Bottom line."Taj McWilliams-Franklin, acquired in a trade with the Connecticut Sun after Leslie's pregnancy was announced, is intrigued by her effervescent coach."He's got loads of energy, and it's infectious," the veteran post player said.

Both went to jail for reckless driving and had their cars impounded for 30 days."Finally, Ralph Rees of Seal Beach sent me his solution to drivers who take up more than one space in parking lots: an unofficial violation that he slips on the windshield."This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two.
