Pringles — the little crisps that could — were sold this week by Procter & Gamble to Diamond Foods for a whopping $2.35 billion. Talk about a success story. When Pringles arrived on the snacking scene some 50 years ago, they were scorned. Pringles aspired to be called potato chips, but they did not have the right stuff to garner that title. Instead, because of their makeup — 42 per cent potato content — they had to settle for the lesser label "potato crisps. " In their early years, these crisps, made of dehydrated potato flakes that have been rolled and fried, tasted like cardboard.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Mike Pringle is no longer the Canadian Football League's superstar surprise. He is no longer the stranger who came to Baltimore a year ago as a last-minute trade addition and broke the league's rushing record while leading his team into the Grey Cup game in its inaugural season.All of which is fine with Pringle. Fully aware that the CFL defenses build their game plans around ways to stop him, Pringle relishes the thought of running over tacklers that much more."This game is a physical sport, and I don't see any other way to play this game, other than intense and at full speed," Pringle said.

Derek Session Jr. barely knew the man after whom he is named. "I lost my father when I was a year and a couple of months old. He was shot at a Harford Road carry-out that was being robbed," Session, 17, said. "The man asked for his money and he told the man, `No.' So the man shot him." Session has often heard the story from his grandmother, Tina Session, who "wanted me to know my father didn't just walk out of my life," said Session, a Dunbar senior. "She says he was a man of principle, and if he was around, he'd be proud of the man I've become."

YOU COULD almost reach out and touch Bobby Pringle's pain. There he stood, in the middle of a room at the Maryland House of Correction in Jessup, as 15 pairs of eyes stared intently at him. Pringle, his voice quivering a little as it rose, told the 10 boys and five girls about the three days when things go from merely depressing to very depressing for him in prison. "One is Christmas," Pringle told the group. "The other is Aug. 29. That's the day I committed murder." Pringle had begun his story by telling the youngsters - who had come to the prison as part of its IMPACT (Inmates Making a Positive Attempt to Collectively educate Teens)

WASHINGTON - A routine traffic stop in Reisterstown four years ago that netted Baltimore County police a small amount of crack cocaine was argued before the Supreme Court yesterday in a constitutional case that could expand police powers. The justices' decision, expected later this term, has the potential to elevate a traffic stop into important precedent, giving broader definition to the constitutional requirement of probable cause before police can make an arrest. Baltimore County police Officer Jeffrey Snyder pulled over the car for speeding on Aug. 7, 1999.

I lament that I can't recall precisely when I lost faith in Santa Claus. I remember, however, my certainty that the Easter Bunny was alive, well and working hard: My sister and I spent long Easter mornings discovering eggs he had intricately decorated and hidden under shrubs, in crooks of trees, in other mysterious venues. I have respect and affection for living mythic experiences. I have an even greater affection for people with the energy and imagination and ludic genius to enrich the lives of others -- child and otherwise -- with joys of belief.

HAMILTON, Ontario -- Two weeks ago, the Baltimore Stallions' offense was in a funk, having scored just 59 points over a four-game stretch, during which Baltimore absorbed the first two-game losing streak in its two-year history.Nothing a couple of mediocre defenses and running back Mike Pringle couldn't fix. With Saturday's 41-14 victory at Hamilton, the Stallions (8-3) buried the dry month of August by scoring 41 points for the second straight week. They beat Toronto by the same margin last weekend.
