I've been married a really long time and have (at least) three children. You can hear me hosting the news talk show 'Dan Land.' It's pretty lucky that my name is Dan. That definitely helped me land the gig. "Welcome to Dan Land, this is Dave," just doesn't have the same ring to it. Tune in to hear the latest on the local political scene or when you want to save money, as I'm also the host of Value Connection: Your Store On the Radio.

Best Pitcher in Baseball: Justin Verlander
Incredible! What else can you say?
It should have been easier than this. Cabrera is slumping and the Tigers are getting it done with unlikely sluggers. Today it was Brandon Inge. Yesterday it was Gerald Laird. But tonight, it was all about the best pitcher in baseball: Justin Verlander.

Flouride Won’t Prevent Optical Cavities or Quantum Internet
