	Holding Hands Drabbles
		Michael could only think one thing. He knew it was going to get him in trouble, but he couldn’t help it.
		Bonnie had been working on Kitt all night and needed a break, so Michael suggested a little stargazing. They walked part of the way down the semi’s ramp together before he hopped over the side. He offered his hand to help her and was stunned when she didn’t let go after jumping down herself.
		Michael sat next to her on the bed, careful not to crowd her or move the rolling table where she was resting her hand against an icepack. She slowly lifted her arm, probably to let her hand warm a bit.

	CD Baby: MICHAEL MCCARTHY: Michael McCarthy & the Beautiful Fools
		Michael’s assertive honey glazed rasp of a voice reveals a wise beyond his years perspective that is honest and sincere.
		Upon the release of his highly-anticipated EP this past June 2004, Michael was hand-picked to play guitar on Haylie Duff's cross-country summer tour, playing to packed arenas of screaming kids every night as she supported her sister Hilary Duff.
		I met Michael at a music seminar in 2005 and was glad to be able to sit next to him for most of it.

	Holding slams Twenty20 - Cricket - www.theage.com.au
		Holding, who is now a respected television pundit, has branded New Zealand's decision to host the first Twenty20 international, against Australia in Auckland on Thursday, as "bull-s---" and "a waste of time".
		Holding said he had nothing but contempt for the idea that Twenty20 cricket could revive one-day cricket and help revolutionise the ailing limited-overs game.
		Holding's criticism aside, the bold innovation already has proved to be a hit in county cricket and domestic cricket in South Africa.

	Michael VIII Paleologus
		As Michael was made aware of this he seized the moment by having a few spies secretly enter the city with the purpose of inciting a riot to overthrow the Latin sympathizers who were left behind.
		Michael spent the next twenty years simultaneously (and successfully) sabotaging efforts out West for any efforts to retake Constantinople and tirelessly rebuilding the empire inasmuch as was possible.
		Michael died after a brief illness contracted on his way to stamping out the last pockets of resistance from the old Epirus rivals and the throne then passed to his son Andronicus.

	The Hindu : The Rolls Royce that whispered death
		MICHAEL HOLDING'S bowling action was so streamlined and seemingly effortless, that Geoffrey Boycott called him the Rolls-Royce of fast bowlers and umpire Dicky Bird described him as Whispering Death, getting closer to the batsman's viewpoint than the English opener did.
		Holding rarely batted again at number eight, but he was infinitely more productive with the ball than he was on his debut.
		It would be dishonest to state that Holding was a model of perfect behaviour throughout his career; he had a brush or two with the umpires in New Zealand and he played a leading role in the intimidation the West Indians under Lloyd unleashed at the Indian batsmen in the notorious Kingston Test of 1976.

	Jurors see video of Michael Jackson holding hands with accuser - Courttv.com - Trials
		SANTA MARIA, Calif. — Jurors in Michael Jackson's molestation trial saw a controversial British documentary Tuesday in which the pop star says he sees nothing wrong in sharing a bed with children not related to him.
		Michael Jackson was interviewed for a British documentary in 2003.
		Sneddon also contends that the documentary led to a frenzied damage-control campaign that prompted people working for Jackson to hold his accuser and his family against their will and forced them to participate in a "rebuttal video" in which the boy said nothing improper ever occurred between him and Jackson.

	Cricket's Finest
		Umpires nicknamed Holding 'Whispering Death' for his aggressive and quick playing, and for his smooth approach to the wicket.
		Later that year, in England, Holding established a new record for the most wickets taken by a West Indian in a test match (14 for 149).
		In a career that spanned a decade and ended prematurely in 1986/87, Holding played 60 test matches and captured 249 wickets at an average of 23.68.

	Team Confident For Saturday
		Michael Hale was able to drive away from the field in the early going to earn two wins in the night of double-features last Saturday, but as Michael said it himself...
		By lap 10, Michael had a comfortable lead, and was doing the same thing he did just a few hours earlier in his opening race...
		Michael had this to say after his second win of the night: "We knew we'd be starting out front, so we just told ourselves 'We got ourselves in the situation, let's go win 'em, there's nothing else we can do now.' Luckily that's what we did."

	Michael isn't holding back - well, maybe just on that comment - Sport
		Holding himself offers no opinion on the matter, except to say in his usual low-key way that "Thomson was quick", stressing the "was".
		As Holding points out, in his and Thomson's day speed was averaged over the length of the pitch.
		Holding doesn't know for sure but, because so many people apparently heard it, he assumes Johnston did say it.

		Waugh's 200 at Sabina Park in Jamaica in 1995 is etched in the memories of Australians and West Indians as one of the great Test innings and Holding said the 37-year-old's recent form demanded that he play on.

		I was particularly shocked at the irrational virulence of Michael Holding’s opposition.
		But for a West Indian cricketing personality of Holding’s stature to go off the rails in the way he has undermines the team he loves, confuses and demotivates the very youngsters he hopes to nurture, divides us when we should be coming together and all in all does great harm to West Indian cricket.
		However, what cannot be doubted by anyone - Michael Holding himself does not hesitate to admit it - is the sheer genius of Hooper’s batting at its best.

	Harmison has a technical snag: Holding
		BRISBANE: West Indies’ fast-bowling legend Michael Holding believes there is a simple technical issue behind Steve Harmison’s wayward bowling to be solved if England is to rescue its Ashes defence, reported The Age.
		The problem was detected by viewing a split screen comparing Harmison’s action when he took a bundle of wickets in the Caribbean in 2004 with recent footage, in which he leans over through his delivery stride.
		Harmison’s tribulations in Brisbane have reinforced an impression of mental fragility, but Holding says a fundamental problem at the point of delivery scrambles his direction and could be corrected with the help of a bowling coach or biomechanical expert.
