Longtime Eagles executive Joe Banner will no longer be club president, the club announced Thursday.
Club COO Don Smolenski will replace Banner, the team said.
Banner will now be a strategic advisor to owner Jeffrey Lurie, the club said.
Said Banner, according to the club: "It has been my privilege to work with Jeffrey Lurie over all these years. Together we have built a talented front office team that is now ready to assume leadership of this extraordinary franchise. I plan to pursue a major new opportunity within the sports field — one that will enable me to apply all that I have learned as the Eagles president. I could never thank Jeff enough for the opportunity and support he has afforded me."
"There is no better executive in sports than Joe Banner," Lurie said, according to the team's website. "We are making this announcement today because he is looking for a greater challenge, and in Don Smolenski I have a highly regarded, very worthy successor as President of this team."
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lurie said Banner's departure wasn't a result of any dispute over power with head coach Andy Reid and GM Howie Roseman.
"No, the opposite," Lurie said, according to the Inquirer. "It was all done, I think, for what's best for everybody involved.
Banner, who had been an Eagles executive for more than 18 years, had been club president since 2001. According to the Inquirer, Smolenski will assume Banner's responsibilities for day-to-day operations of the club, while Roseman will negotiate contracts and manage the salary cap.
The way we see it
There have been rumors of a power struggle in Philadelphia for a while now, and Banner had decided in recent months that he wanted to leave the organization. Whether those two things are connected, partially or completely, is not known. Don't be surprised to see Banner emerge as part of another ownership group in the NFL, perhaps with an L.A.-based team.
As for the Eagles, this move gives Reid and Roseman many of Banner's duties as they relate to contracts and negotiations. But Reid remains in less than an iron-clad position, in need of a strong season to defend Lurie's decision to retain the head coach after one of their most disappointing seasons in recent memory.

Since its founding, The Field Museum has been a leader in the kind of research that can only be carried out in the rich biological, geological, and cultural collections of a natural history museum. We focus on Earth and its diversity—origin, evolution, and distribution. Our unusual breadth encompasses the social sciences (anthropology), biological sciences (botany and zoology), and earth sciences (geology, paleontology and meteoritics). Our researchers publish in leading journals, conduct fieldwork in more than 30 countries, and pursue collaborative projects around the world. They employ new technologies like high-throughput DNA sequencing and CT scanning, as well as tried and true methods like peering through microscopes and taking measurements, to mine the wealth of data in our collections. Our scientists also engage in graduate and undergraduate education in partnership with the major local universities (University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University) and are active in training scientists in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific in all of the Museum's scientific disciplines.
Field Museum lichenologists Thorsten Lumbsch and Robert Lücking brought together over 100 colleagues from institutions world-wide to describe a total of 100 new species in a single publication.
Across 3 vertebrate "Tree of Life" grants, the NSF funded nearly $1.7 millions dollars to Field Museum zoologists to help resolve relationships among the birds, squamates, and euteleost fishes.

A unserious ''movie'' about a guy / buddy of mine, Håvard Aran! It continues with Volume 2.. Based on Metroid's character, Samus Aran! More like a tribute/parody.. I love videogames/movies, so I wanted to make a comedy-shortfilm. I love bosses and oldschool sidescrolling btw ;) The music was borrowed from my favourite games and uses NES- midi soundeffect most of the time. Please ignore all type issues included in this movie, it was along time since I've wrote those stuff, I'm pretty ashamed of them :) Anyway, enjoy it hardcore game fans!

A video that SonicXtreme helped us make showcasing two of the maps and the finished mod. Metroid Station - based on Ceres Station is a direct copy of Derelict from Halo PC with Tallon IV in the sky. Tallon IV Overworld - You've seen it before, you've probably even played it before, but it's modified to better suit gameplay for Oddball and CTF. Supports all gametypes now, as well! Biggest deal with our mod is that unfortunately, we had to drop the morphball. You may have read this before, but I'm just reconfirming it. It just won't work with the engine, and I have a feeling a lot of players would abuse it anyways. Regardless, it's tons of fun, and we can't wait to bring it out for you guys next weekend! I'll post then! Check out the site later tonight for more info! [url]http://www.playmetroidonline.com[/url]

The Sign Trilogy is an original animation that I am currently writing and directing. It is loosely based off of the Metroid video games, and at one point was going to be a tribute to it. But I thought that it would turn out better if I used original characters, and that way I would avoid any legal action. So any way I hope that you enjoy this short preview of Sign Episode One.

YouTube - Role Reversal: Man Pulls Over Cop For Speeding!
This idiot speeds after a cop...
I don't think the cop handled it very well though. Doesn't seem like he was going that fast for a decent reason (he could have been though).
Arrested for kidnapping (6:20 mark)? Definitely seems like that cop was flustered.
I don't think the cop handled it well either. He knew he screwed-up, but that doesn't excuse the guy playing with his camera phone driving like an idiot to catch him and "pull him over." He was trying to antagonoze the Deputy, and when that failed, he stood in the road to block his way!That being said, the guy shooting the video was, IMO, a total asshat!For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
Winston Churchill
What would I do?
I DID it. I wrote the azzhat that followed me a citation for excessive speed.
The story:
Back about six or eight years ago (when I still had my "super-fast-go-catch'em mobile" / Camaro Police package), I was on my way to get fuel one afternoon.
Now understand that a simple tap on the "go-pedal" in this car would get me up to the speed limit (or beyond if needed) very quickly. Way quicker than your typical "granny car".
I was stopped at a red light (first in line), and when I got the green, I tapped the go button, and was at the 45MPH posted limit before the cars behind me even crossed the intersection behind me.
I had about a half-dozen blocks to go to get to our fleet shop to get my gas, but noticed in my mirror that the car behind me was coming up to me pretty quickly. As I pulled into the yard, this brain surgeon pulls in behind me, bails and proceeds to get all over my face about me driving so fast.
I attempted to tell him that I was only doing the posted limit, but admitted that I had probably gotten up to it quickly due to the type of vehicle I was driving.
This "citizen" commenced to yelling and raving and telling me that he KNOWS I was speeding because he had to drive 70MPH to catch up to me.
Ah-HAA, here comes the "dawning".
"Oh, OK, Sir, so since you had to drive 70 to catch me - AND SINCE YOU DID CATCH ME - apparently you were going faster than I was. CORRECT?"
"So, SIR, WHO was speeding here?"
"And since you just VOLUNTARILY told me, WITH MY RECORDER ON, that you were driving 70 in a posted 45 zone, please sign here, and press hard, you are going through five copies."
My boss got a kick out of it, and since this was a half-dozen years ago and I have never gone to court on it, I can only assume he just paid the fine. DUHHHHH.
I love my job. I don't even have to go lookin' for speeders. They come find me to get their tickets.
(Job security. Don't y'all just love folks like that?)
.The Swamp Mafia -"Heaven doesn't want us,and Hell's afraid we'll take over!!".
I got a DUI like that one night, had a call but needed fuel so I kicked it up a notch, I notice that I am being followed; so, I kick it up another notch-brain sturgeon does the same. I made a quick exit off the road when I went around a curve and goober zips by and I stop him. His son is in the car, and ya gotta love it, he says when I walk up "I tried to tell dad not to do that cause he's drunk, but he wouldn't listen to me"...I ran him to the jail, had the jailor book him and caught my call.
Good times.Job security...
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Since our speedometers are calibrated every 6 months I can write speeding tickets from pacing. Doesnt matter if Im following them or their following me, its still pacing."An Unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it." Jeff Cooper
Some people are meant to be the police......Some people are meant to call the police!!!

cajunguy, was it a B4C Ls1 Camaro?
Because those are slow.
Had the 350 with the chip in it - about 320 ponies. (Came from the factory with I think 285.)
It was anything but slow. (For this old phart, anyway.) Would chirp the rear tires in third gear (automatic) with great regularity.
Never had the nerve to see if it would do the 160 the speedo showed (kinda doubt it would have gotten quite that far), but it would sure get way "up there" real quick. (I won't say how high I got it, because I don't think the statute of limitations has expired yet.) ....
Will admit to having had a helluva lotta fun with that car though.
Found this pic of it buried on my 'puter.

Like I've said. I don't like to second guess why/or not cops do things, cause I'm not there. However, the deputy may have been going to a call (though lights and siren probably would have been prudent) and got cancelled for whatever reason. He probably noticed the guy following him on that side street and drove fast to make sure. Or he could be one of those that drives fast just cause he can and got busted. Bet he doesn't have an AVL though! Dude with the camera is an idiot, though.YOUR ATTENTION, DO I F@#%ING HAVE IT?

The guy with the camera is definitely a jackass, but that goes without saying.
The cop was way too easily bullied. If some jackass were riding my ass and honking his horn like that, I'd have probably pulled over much sooner than this cop did. I wouldn't have let him run the contact like that, though, and God help him if he didn't get out of my way.
I also don't make empty threats and then get back in my car. If I threaten to arrest someone, they've got about five seconds to change my mind.

The Daily Item
LEWISBURG — The SUN Area Chapter of the American Red Cross will hold its seventh annual Heroes Breakfast at Country Cupboard Restaurant in Lewisburg on March 22, at 7:30 a.m. Following a brief introduction and video presentation, this year's SUN Area Heroes will receive their awards. The Heroes awards honor people from all walks of life who have made significant contributions in service to their communities.
Companies, organizations and individuals are invited to nominate a hero. Nomination forms can be acquired by calling the office at 524-0400 ext. 1602. A nomination form is also available for download by visiting www.sunburybroadcasting.com/WKOKNews
Heroes are selected from the following categories: Community Impact, Law Enforcement, Military, Fire/Safety, Pet Hero, Good Samaritan, and Youth Good Samaritan. A special award goes annually to the Dr. Charles P. Fasano, D.O., Memorial Award for medical heroism.
The concept for the Heroes Breakfast grew from a desire to develop an event that is closely related to the mission of the American Red Cross: teaching people to save lives. "Heroes are those folks we encounter every day, going about the business of serving their communities in so many ways," said chapter executive, Tom Szulanczyk. "We want to honor them publicly to say thanks and also to allow others to see and emulate their good works." Nominations are open until Jan. 30.

Unmasking the Creator
Looking to science to define the undefinable, Lee Strobel finds the 'master Designer.'
BY: Lee Strobel
As I reviewed the avalanche of information from my investigation, I found the evidence for an intelligent designer to be credible, cogent, and compelling. Actually, in my opinion the combination of the findings from cosmology and physics by themselves were sufficient to support the design hypothesis. All of the other data simply built an even more powerful cumulative case that ended up overwhelming my objections.
But who or what is this master Designer? Like playing a game of connect-the-dots, each one of the six scientific disciplines I investigated contributed clues to unmasking the identity of the Creator.
The evidence of cosmology demonstrates that the cause of the universe must be an uncaused, beginningless, timeless, immaterial, personal being endowed with freedom of will and enormous power. In the area of physics, Collins established that the Creator is intelligent and has continued to be involved with his creation after the Big Bang.
The evidence of astronomy, showing that the Creator was incredibly precise in creating a livable habitat for the creatures he designed, logically implies that he has care and concern for them. Also, Gonzales and Richards presented evidence that the Creator has built at least one purpose into his creatures-to explore the world he has designed, and therefore to perhaps discover him through it.
Not only do biochemistry and the existence of biological information affirm the Creator's activity after the Big Bang, but they also show he's incredibly creative. Evidence for consciousness, as Moreland said, helps establish that the Creator is rational, gives us a basis for understanding his omnipresence, and even suggests that life after death is credible.
This is not a picture of the god of deism, who supposedly formed the universe but then abandoned it. The abundant evidence for the Creator's continued activity in the universe after the initial creation event discredits deism as a credible possibility.
Pantheism, the idea that the Creator and universe are co-existent, also falls short of accounting for the evidence, because it cannot explain how the universe came into existence. After all, if the pantheistic god didn't exist prior to the physical universe, then it would not be capable of bringing the universe into being.
Also, Craig explained how the scientific principle of Ockham's razor shaves away the multiple gods of polytheism, leaving us with a single Creator. In addition, the personal nature of the Creator argues against the impersonal divine force that's at the center of some New Age religions.

Rockwood School District physical education teacher Kally Fischer must dream about finish lines, given that she has been running toward them for at least the past 20 years or more.
Fischer recently was named the Missouri Class 4A Girls' Coach of the Year. For the last 12 years, she has taught physical education at Rockwood South Middle School and has coached at both Eureka High School and Rockwood Summit High School. Most recently, she has served as an assistant track coach and head girls cross country coach at Eureka.
This year was a good one for Fischer's Eureka girls cross country team, whose members achieved a second place finish at the Missouri State Championship.
"I believe the key reasons to our successful season this year, and every year, is due to our rich tradition as a program," she said.
"I have a solid group of girls who spend the offseason putting in the necessary time of training and those who are focused on the goal at hand, whether it is individual or team goals, during the season. They are a special group of girls who are just as passionate as I am about our sport."
Eureka High School Assistant Principal and Activities Director Jason Green said Fischer was focused and driven. "Kally does an excellent job coaching at Eureka. We're excited for her to be recognized for her work to help our student athletes compete at a high level."
As a former high school and Division I athlete at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO, Fischer competed as a student athlete there in cross country, as well as indoor and outdoor track between the years of 1992-1996.
Fischer said she feels lucky to be blessed with such hard working, talented and dedicated athletes to work with each day. "I love teaching and coaching; it's my passion."
She told Patch she believes teachers and coaches are always learning.
"As long as you are fair and consistent with your students and athletes your classes and teams will be successful. I teach my students character…I feel this is important in the classroom and track or course. I tell my girls all the time you will learn a lot about yourself through our sport that will help you in life."
Fischer said their beloved sport is always challenging, in a good way of getting student athletes out.
"Running is becoming more of an up-and-coming sport, however, still many high school girls do not come out for cross country. The reason why we are successful in getting kids out (at Eureka High School) is because of our rich tradition. Our school has laid the foundation for success and the girls thrive on keeping that going," she said.
In addition, Fischer said they get some of the most dedicated and passionate students out for the sport, students who want to either just be part of a team or be the best in the state.

Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at XO Communications in September 2010.
Interview Details – The interview process was pretty simple. The SE manager and a sales manager were both past colleagues of mine so that made the interviewing pretty straight-forward. The interviewing process was not too long or hard it was the internal processes at their end that later held everything up. Some delays with getting the job req approved and filled. Biggest issue came later when they did a bait and switch and offered me a lower graded position (and lower salary) than was originally talked about. I accepted eventually because I hoped it would be a good place to be. But then the manager that hired me resigned during my second day on the job.
Interview Question – SE manager just asked me to describe how I would design a particular WAN solution. But the scenario was not a common one someone would run into and he had a specific type of design answer he was looking for that was a bit odd. So it was hard to answer it the way he wanted it to be answered. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Negotiations were not good. They said they could not offer more and basically told me to take it or leave it.

Neutral Experience
Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at XO Communications in September 2010.
Interview Details – For me the interviewing process was short, just met with a few people the first time then a less formal interview with two peer engineers the second time. Biggest delay was in getting the formal offer, negotiating position / salary, and start date. Other people hired here have gone through much longer hiring / interview process. For me I knew two of the hiring decision makers personally from past work experience so that probably helped.
Interview Question – The hiring manager (who is no longer with the company) posed some unusual technical questions to me during a "mock" customer appointment / meeting / role play. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was frustrated with the negogiation process because I was not offered the position title, salary or commission target I deserve based on experience and past positions. But I accepted the position anyway with hope for growth and change over time.

The image of a city, its reflection, depends on who is doing the looking. Are the lookers tourists, occasional visitors, regulars, natives, lifelong residents?
As for the heart of a city, if such a domain exists, it is probably a lot of things. But it no doubt includes that citys people, for they are it and it is them.
On three treks up and down Pio Nono Avenue, I explored Macons geographic heart.
Along the way, I encountered plenty of people who make up its soul. One stood out the most.
Anyone who met her, even the most jaded hometown hater, would size her up and want to shake her hand or hug her neck and say, Maam, how do you do?
Shell want to swat me with her hat for writing that about her.
Shell say, Oooooh, you better have on track shoes going north, south, east and west for putting this stuff in the paper.
She lives in the house where she was born 87 years ago. Its near what has since become a patch of dwellings in shambles, ratholes, boarded-up apartments and all manner of overgrown ugliness.
Yet she passes her days sweeping magnolia leaves from her curb, pruning shrubs, raking, planting flowers.
Hers is a drug-eaten neighborhood that straddles Pio Nono and Mercer University Drive in the crosshairs of Unionvilles criminal element. Many of her neighbors have been to prison, one man for 20 years. They were 20 meaningful years, he once told her.
She, on the other hand, went to college.
For three decades she taught mathematics at black universities across the South.
She likes the symphony, theater, art. She keeps up with local politics. She reads the paper. Religiously.
Maybe it is no coincidence Constance Parson lives at the corner of Straight Street.
Still, I almost missed her.
Youre my child
Had I not glanced over and spotted Parson in her backyard, or noticed her strange tree of blue bottles, my trips up and down Pio Nono would have missed their mark. In a small way, perhaps, but still.
A little-known woman would have remained unnoticed.
If you have read this far, you understand. The point of these journeys was to seek out the often unseen.
Constance Parson moved back home in 1983 to care for her Alzheimers-stricken mother, who was also born in that house.
Born in 1900, Mae Miller went to college and became a teacher. She was the first principal of Hamilton Elementary School, across Pio Nono from her house, just below Mercer University Drive.
Sometimes former Hamilton pupils, now grown-ups, mistake Parson for her mother. Must be the white hair. Some of the old pupils say that if it hadnt been for Mrs. Miller, I wouldnt be as good as I am today, and Im still not the best, Parson said.
In mid-August, on my second visit with Parson, we sat in chairs under a pecan tree. The old metal glider on her porch wouldve been a fine spot, too, but it was stolen a long time ago.
While we talked, Parson recalled her grandparents loving care.
Her Papa and Grandma McElmurray, there since the 1890s, were truck farmers. They raised beans, peas, corn, melons, okra, squash. They had pigs, turkeys, chickens, ducks, a cow, a horse named Prince and a mule named Dolly -- all in a cramped backyard, less than a third of an acre, on Pio Nono.
Not that there was anywhere else for the livestock. The front yard was Pio Nono and, after the road was widened, Pio Nono was practically the front porch.
Parson recalled a day when she was little. She and her grandmother were out peddling vegetables. They passed through a white neighborhood below Montpelier Avenue. Kids there jeered her fair-skinned grandma.
She could pass for white, Parson said. Papa was black as tar.
The kids spat insults, ridiculed young Constance and taunted her grandmother: Why do you have that n----- baby with you?
My grandmother taught me, You dont hear, you dont see. You are better than the person who is talking about you. Youre my child. And she would just keep going, Parson said.
Things that get under your skin, put your thumb on your nose and kiss it goodbye.
Parson taught at Southern University in Louisiana for about five years. She figures she spent 20 more at Miles College in Alabama. She was also an instructor at Fort Valley State.
She was married, briefly, in her 20s. (She didnt want to talk about that.) She drives a 92 Mercury Tracer.
Parson has traveled to Europe, Mexico, India, and spent time in Michigan, Colorado, California.
She quit playing bridge. She cant sit still that long. If she does, once I try to get up, something is dead.
Kind of losing touch
Her rock gardens and rock edgings consist of thousands of oval stones from a ditch at her familys church in Lizella.
When Parsons mother was ill, a sitter came once a month. Parson used the break to go on rock hunts. Now they line her yard and border gardens of scarlet bishops-cap, potato plants, mums, hostas, black-eyed Susans, marigolds.
Crape myrtles grow where a pigpen used to be.
Parsons blooms and greenery amid the neighborhood decay can be a conversation starter, an open invite to friends and strangers alike.
In our rush, she said, we dont see people, our neighbors, and were kind of losing touch.
The garden keeps her connected to family as well.
Sometimes Parson unearths rusted horseshoes and plow parts and hangs them on her gate, memories of her Papa.
Whenever you dig down in there, she said, you come across stuff.
She said the ornaments for her bottle tree, a sawed-up cedar stump with enough branch nubs and trunk left to support beer and wine empties, came compliments of a fellow down the street where they drink beer morning, noon and night.
In a blighted neighborhood, her backyard is a sanctuary, a refuge of flowers and a funky tree of deep-blue bottles.
It makes you feel good, she said.
It cheers you up. The little kids that come by, they want to know, What kind of tree is that? And how come you have the bottles there? I say, Thats to make everything look pretty.
They always ask me
She is sure to be in by sundown.
Never know who might be lurking.
Besides, Jeopardy! comes on at 7:30.
When she used to attend nighttime events or shows, a neighbor watched out for her. Shed call him on her way home and, only half-joking, say, Look out the window with a gun in your hand.
Drugs, she said, are baaaad.
She sometimes sees users in addictions clutches wander past. A woman with a red fuel can, a prop, used to bang on her door and beg for money to gas up her car.
You dont know who to trust and who not to, Parson said.
Old friends from out of town hardly recognize the place when they come.
Landmarks -- community groceries, funeral parlors, houses -- are no more.
Her friends invariably pose a question.
They always ask me, Parson said, When are you leaving?

Even without Kobe Bryant, it's the most compelling first-round series.
Everybody loves an underdog, but everybody seems to hate the free-spending Lakers, so whom does America root for in this one?
Even without Kobe Bryant, it's the most compelling first-round series.
Everybody loves an underdog, but everybody seems to hate the free-spending Lakers, so whom does America root for in this one?
The vanilla-flavored San Antonio Spurs or the Blake Mambas? The team that does everything adored by basketball purists or the guys who do nothing enjoyed by traditionalists? The team with a dinged-up Tony Parker or the team with a messed-up Steve Nash?
They appear to be evenly matched on paper, their final combined scores through three games standing at 278-278.
Of course, Bryant was there for two of those games. And, sure, the only one the Lakers won was without him.
Confused? So are we. But only momentarily.
Here is a look at the matchups between the teams:
Starting guards: Nash hasn't played in more than three weeks. Steve Blake hasn't played this well ever in his career. Now they're joining forces in the backcourt. Can the two Steves make it right? Not quite. Parker hasn't looked great with his sprained left ankle, but he's the only All-Star guard in this series without Bryant. Edge: Spurs.
Starting forwards: Tim Duncan was the Kobe of all NBA big men, having an incredible season (17.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocked shots a game) despite the most daunting stat of all (he'll turn 37 on Thursday). Pau Gasol has played well recently but hasn't shown it all year. Metta World Peace hasn't been the same since knee surgery. Edge: Spurs.
Centers: Dwight Howard is a seven-time All-Star. Tiago Splitter is Tiago Splitter. Edge: Lakers.
Benches: Neither team is special here. Manu Ginobili would be the difference-maker if he turned back the clock five years. Instead, the Spurs made the unique (read: comical) move to sign Tracy McGrady after making the equally unique (read: incredibly comical) move to dump Stephen Jackson a few days before the regular season ended. On that note … Edge: Lakers.
Offense: Known for its stellar defense and solid technical play all these years, San Antonio somehow slipped into the top four scoring teams this season (103 points a game). The Lakers were right behind them in sixth with 102.2 points a game, but that was with you know who for 78 games. Edge: Spurs.
Defense/rebounding: Howard led the league in rebounding (12.4 a game) and was fifth in blocked shots (2.4). There won't be a defensive player like him on the court. But the Spurs don't care about individuality. They gave up 96.6 points a game this season, 11th in the NBA, while the Lakers surrendered 101 a game, 22nd in the NBA. Edge: Spurs.
Coaches: Gregg Popovich could win NBA games with five old ladies after they ate 14 boxes of chocolate chip cookies. That's what World Peace said, anyway. Mike D'Antoni is happy to be here after an incredibly turbulent season. Edge: Spurs.
Bresnahan's pick: I'm on the fence with something. Can I pick the Spurs in 5 1/2? No? Fine. Spurs in six, and that might be giving the Lakers a little too much credit. Just can't see them winning this thing without Bryant.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Tennessee State University's men's basketball team's winning streak will be putting the school in the national spotlight Thursday night. After a big win over Murray State earlier this the month, the two teams meet again, this time on the Tiger's home court.
When TSU's men's basketball team beat Murray State after an undefeated season, it was the game talked about across the country. On Thursday the two teams meet again, but this time millions of fans will be watching as the game from Gentry Center will be aired on ESPNU, the ESPN channel dedicated to college sports.
It was on February 9th when the two teams met in Kentucky, and TSU claimed the only victory over Murray State this season to date (26-1). This was a huge win for TSU as Murray state is one of the hottest college basketball teams in the country.
"This is exposure you really can't pay for," said Teresa Phillips, TSU Athletic Director. "It would have been great to have the ESPN game under any circumstances, but under the circumstances that we went up there and they were the only undefeated team left in the nation. We knocked them off against all odds in a sold out crowd. That juice has upped this game pretty big."
All week current students, alumni and fans have been purchasing tickets. What many people say will bring them out to the game is ESPNU's coverage. Everyone says this is huge, not just for the athletic department here at TSU but the entire school.
"High school students want to go somewhere where there is a lot of excitement. Athletics is always a draw for students who want to enroll in your university, so hopefully we will play off of this and get a really big freshman class coming next year. Winning is contagious," said Phillips.
The women's team starts playing at 4 p.m. Thursday, and tickets are still available.

Good for you!

After downloading new maps that I paid $15 for I can barely find a match to get into.
That's your problem, you only bought one DLC. Had you gotten all of them, your chances of finding a match would have increased.
You also most likely bought the Map Pack that most gamers hate.

Also what's really the point in playing this junk as a new comer?
Ask the person who gave you the game as a gift.
urgameisapiece wrote:
Every one else has upgraded weaponry and ALWAYS kills me at up close ranges. It seems their weaponry is faster and more powerful.
Well, it's been out for over a year. Most gamers have already Prestiged and unlocked all their weapon's attachments and Pro versions of their Perks.

Also when I respawn I'm right there again for the same guy to kill me again... and then he gets some kind of helicopter and drops bombs on me because he has killed me so many times.
Yep, respawning is terrible, unlike MW1 and 2.

This is truly unfair and I refuse to play anymore because of these issues.
That's fine.

To me it's made for a bunch of nerdy kids and adults who have the money to purchase it on the day of release and who wants to play with a bunch of nerdy foul-mouths online anyway?
Some people say the same thing about those who buy new iPhone's every year.
If you don't like playing with foul-mouthed gamers you can mute them.

Plus, Treyarch or Activision or whoever, you owe me a freakin' coffee table I broke in half due to the gamer rage I encounterd while playing your piece of junk.
Good luck proving that you have a coffe table and that you broke it due to gamer rage. Plus, if you do have gamer rage you should seek professional help.
With all the killings that has happened, I wouldn't be suprised if a Federal Government Agency is tracking your IP address so they can prevent a potential tragedy from happening.

P.S. I don't care what responses I get from the fanboys, I will NOT be checking back to see what is said. If the manufacturer wants to contact me they know how.
Is your number 1-800-CRY-BABY?
In all seriousness, you need to have realistic expectations about the game. This game has been out for over a year and gamers have gotten used to the maps and weapons. Keep playing so you can level up. Be smart, check left and right before you enter a room; throw flashbangs/concussion grenades when you have to. In time, you'll get better.
Have a nice day!

dude seriously.stop crying and learn to play.i started kicking butt when i was lvl 2.if you havent played any fps games before then should quit playing this game coz its gonna make you rage.

Five west coast men, possibly with gang ties, are in the Sedgwick county jail for running what police call an elaborate drug ring out of Wichita.
Acting on a tip, police arrested the men at a home in the 3100 block of east Ethel last night. Inside, investigators found several weapons and a large amount of the drug PCP.
"It's becoming a very popular drug of choice across America," said Wichita Police Lt. Doug Nolte.
Neighbors said they are used to seeing a lot of traffic coming and going from the house where the arrests happened.
"I'm glad, if they got them, glad of that, " said neighbor Betty Walker.
Police say the men were in Wichita with the intentions of running the drug business. Investigators believe the suspects were wiring the profits back to California. Because of the large amount of PCP found, the suspects could be charged in federal court.

The Chickasha High School girls basketball team finally got rewarded for its hard work with a win, beating Duncan High School in the first round of the Chickasha Basketball Classic on Thursday night.
The Lady Chicks won the game 62-43, and advanced their record to 5-6 this season, also breaking a four-game losing streak.
"We needed that," head coach Christy Edelen said. "Needed that, needed that, needed that. We kind of switched things up to motivate a little bit. Everybody kind of stepped up and rose to the challenge."
Kieley Clift and Sierra Hamilton led the Lady Chicks with 15 points each, and Hamilton dominated the boards with 17 total, 10 on offense.
Dominique Golightly scored 12 points and had six steals, and Taylor Sylvester scored 10 points, all in the fourth quarter. Maddy Irving had seven points.
Chickasha started the game off in a high-pressure 1-2-2 trapping zone, which forced Duncan into turnovers on the Lady Demons' first seven possessions.
The Lady Chicks led 14-3 after the first quarter, although they let up defensively some in the second period.
"I wish we would've played better defense, that's just kind of my thing," Edelen said. "It was not very good at times tonight, but it was good at times. We'll take the win. We just needed the win."
Duncan made it a 26-21 game at halftime, but Chickasha extended the lead again in the third quarter and kept it for the rest of the game.
Chickasha played a different starting lineup Thursday night, partially due to Alex Stewart's injury and partially because Edelen wanted to change things up some.
Freshman Kelsi Gore and sophomore Brooklin Burns started the game, along with normal starters Golightly, Hamilton and Clift.
The Lady Chicks played Lawton MacArthur in the second round Friday night. The winner of that game plays in the championship game at 7 p.m. Saturday, and the loser plays in the third-place game at 4 p.m. Saturday.

My Turbo Silverado
Need to paint the comp side black and throw some mud on it so it will blend in.
Even get to use the stock airbox
Got the feed and drain ready.
The pan is made from some weird aluminum i know that much. some kinda soft cast?
it sucked to weld haha
Went ridin 4wheelers and shooting stuff the other night, got home bout 2:30am and started on the turbo. 8am come around so i caught a nap. Started back on it and finally got finished.
Wideband is acting ignorant so i only got the tune halfway close.
So Well well well. ......
Figured out how to make the stock airbox work.
I was expecting quite a bit of lag, but its better than the remote mount was. And sounds Amazing!!
Now to wait on the new wideband and finish hookin up the meth controller and stuff.
Oh and By the way, adding water to the W/A Intercooler helps alot!!!
Without water IATs were about 135-145ish.. Added water and the TVS HX, IATS are Ambient or within 5*..
Well the horrificly loud wastegate had to go. I knew that before i even put the turbo on.
Towed the tahoe home and it got old fast!!
Went by the exhaust shop and showed the guy what i was plannin on doin. 2 min he had the 1.75" pipe bent and got a peice of 2" and made me a turn down. He threw in a muffler for free. I got out of there for $20.
Welded it on tonight and used a stock hanger on the center support cross member.
Lets just say this thing is silly quiet!!
5.2# boost and the turbo is barely workin so you can hear the compressor a lil.
Perfect, just what i wanted.

Very clean professional OEM looking installation
Especially underneath-HUGE exhaust pipes-very cleanly installed
Heck they look almost like stainless steel-guess new steel looks like stainless
The engine bay-really OEM looking-doesn't look "added on" the way turbo kits normally do.
How in the world are you managing to not get detonation with 25 psi of boost-or even 15 psi of boost??
You have stock pistons right- 9.4/1(on my 5.7 guessing a bit more on your 5.3??)
You must blow in plenty of extra fuel-do you use methanol like your unlikely buddy??
Yeah-how do you tolerate all that boost?? Just 92-93 octane pump gas right- no additive ??
Great looking install

Mine had negative timing so it was no problem.. my 6.0 is 9.4:1 on the CR and at the track i use Pure Methanol. Sunoco M1 i think it is, 99% methanol. The 100% methanol was alot higher for the 55gal drum.
Im spraying a DO7, DO10, and a DO14 nozzle which comes out to somewhere around 33 gallons per hour and i think they are rated at 100psi. My pump is 200psi.. it will suck methanol down like its free. and for towin i turn it down as low as it will go on the ramp rate.
The AFR above 4000rpms and in boost is 11.2, thats from 5psi to 15.. 25 was a accident but i had the tune setup to save the engine incase of overboost.

Here is what im working on at the moment.
Ive built a stainless water reservior for my intercooler.. and ive been thinking on what to do.
here is my plan
goin to mount this transmission cooler in the lower 1/4 of the tank and run the AC lines to it so it will chill the water.

Wow-you literally fire spark AFTER TDC?
Wow I didn't realize that was done-sure makes sense.
You cam put 99% methanol in your tank for track
then pump in regular gasoline-
do you have to
"tell" the ECM I'm using methanol or I am using 87 octane now
or does your ECM do that automatically??
Your injectors are BIG enough to pump methanol-not STOCK are they??
Yeah this truck NOT STOCK- looks stock-until you pop hood
guessing it doesn't sound stock!

TERRE HAUTE — Basketball season is upon us again, and it's time to take a look at where former Wabash Valley standouts will be competing this winter.
A thorough examination of all college Web sites in Indiana and Illinois, plus others known to have local talent outside the bi-state area, shows a total of 14 area graduates coaching in college and 42 players competing collegiately.
Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South each has eight graduates either coaching or player to lead the area schools.
Most of the coaches are in the same location as last year, with the only exceptions being Terre Haute North grad Clint Weddle switching from Indianapolis to Indiana State, South Vermillion's Lou Gudino moving from Louisiana Tech to Indiana State and former local resident Mike Roberts being promoted on Ben Braun's staff to assistant coach for the California Bears.
Marshall native Jeff Strohm, a finalist for the Indiana State job last spring who has been an assistant coach at Western Kentucky the past two seasons, left WKU this summer to pursue other career goals.
"Jeff will be moving on to pursue his career goals of being a head coach or working at a higher level of basketball, possibly the NBA," said WKU Coach Darrin Horn.
Of the players, 27 are men and 15 are women. Eight of the players toil at the NCAA Division I level, while four play NCAA Division II, nine play in NCAA Division III, 12 play for junior colleges and nine play for either NAIA or other small-school division programs.
Several players are returning to the court after a year away.
Included in that group are:
• Robinson's Tyson Schnitker, the former Indiana State standout who will be completing his eligibility this year at Southern Indiana.
• North's Andre Dickson, who has not played for a few seasons but is resurrecting his career at Lindenwood.
• North's Dan O'Leary, who sat out last season but is returning to action for Hanover.
• South's Brooke Daugherty, who played briefly for Danville Area CC before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
• South's J.T. Hatfield, who graduated in 2005 and is making his collegiate debut for Olney Central.
• South's Travis Davis, who was injured last year but returns for his sophomore season at Illinois Central.
As always, several players who previously competed have ended their careers despite having eligibility remaining.
The most prominent of those is North Vermillion grad Allison Hughes, who has decided to forego her senior season at St. Joseph's.
Hughes was the leading scorer for the Pumas last year at 17.5 points per game, and was the fifth-leading scorer in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
A Dean's List student in business administration, Hughes plans to resume her playing career next winter.
"I'm going to finish out the year at Saint Joe and get my undergraduate degree," she said recently. "Next year, I will be looking to use my last year of eligibility at a school that I have not yet determined [while pursuing a master's degree]."
Allison's older sister, Ashley Hughes, graduated from St. Joseph's in 2006 after an excellent playing career there, and spent last season as an assistant coach for the Pumas under Amy Siegel (now an Indiana State assistant). Ashley is now a student at Rose-Hulman pursuing a master's degree in biomedical engineering.
As always, please send any additions or corrections to the list accompanying this column to the e-mail address provided below.

• Morgan starts coaching career — Former North Vermillion and DePauw University softball player Annie Morgan has been named graduate assistant coach at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisc.
Morgan was a member of DePauw's NCAA Central Regional Championship team that ended up finishing fifth overall at the Division III World Series last spring. She was mainly a utility player that specialized in base running.
"Annie is knowledgeable and likes the strategy side of the game," said Lakeland Coach Chad Buchmann. "Her championship experiences will help her make coaching adjustments, as well as help our program reach our goal of making the NCAA tournament."
Morgan earned a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from DePauw with an emphasis in sport and exercise science. She is now pursuing a master's degree in theology.
• Graves in nation's top 50 — Butler senior guard A.J. Graves of White River Valley has been named to the Preseason Top 50 Candidates list for the 2007-08 John R. Wooden Award, the nation's most coveted college basketball honor.
Graves was named to the Wooden Award Midseason All-America team, featuring the Top 30 candidates for the Wooden Award, a year ago. He finished the season as Butler's leading scorer, while helping the Bulldogs to a school-record 29-7 campaign, a championship in the NIT Season Tip-Off, a co-championship in the Horizon League and a berth in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.
The 6-1 guard averaged 16.9 points in 2006-07 and finished second in the NCAA Division I in free throw shooting (.948). He was named MVP of the NIT Season Tip-Off, after leading Butler to consecutive victories over Notre Dame, Indiana, No. 22 Tennessee and No. 23 Gonzaga, and he earned honorable mention All-America recognition. He also was named a first team Academic All-American.
Last month, Graves was named Horizon League preseason Player of the Year.
On Thursday night, Graves had a team-high19 points as Butler defeated St. Joseph's 75-50 in an exhibition contest.
• USI No. 10 — The University of Southern Indiana men's basketball team received its second preseason ranking of the fall when the Division II Bulletin placed the Screaming Eagles in its Top 25 at number 10.
The Screaming Eagles, who were ranked seventh last week by the Sporting News 2007-08 College Basketball Magazine, have been ranked in the preseason each year since 1993-94 and have been a preseason fifth or better 11 times in the last 14 seasons.
Besides Schnitker, the only other local product with the Screaming Eagles is sophomore guard Brent Owen of Chrisman.
• DACC No. 11 — Linton native Mike Carpenter improved a struggling Danville Area Community College men's basketball program to a 14-17 record last year, and the Jaguars have earned a No. 11 pre-season ranking in the NJCAA Division II pre-season poll.
"We play a style that hasn't been seen here before. It's an athletic, up-tempo exciting brand of ball," Carpenter told the Danville Commercial-News. "We're going to push the ball and play above the rim. We feature several long and quick players who can excel at multiple positions on the court. It's a style similar to Kansas, Florida and North Carolina."
Among the returnees for DACC are South Putnam's Ronnie Williams and first-team pre-season All-America selection Marcus Thomas.
Thomas holds school records for three-pointers in a season (79) and three-point field goal percentage in a season at 47.8 percent.
"We're ready to get going. There hasn't been a winning season here since 2000," Carpenter said. "We have good quality players who are good students and hard working young men. It has the potential to be a very rewarding year."
• Conrady, Mocs to battle IU — Indiana's men's basketball team will open the regular season on Nov. 12 by playing Chattanooga, a team which made the NCAA tournament two years ago.
Terre Haute South grad David Conrady, who led the Braves to the semistate finals in 1982, is the associate head coach for the Mocs.
• Kelly scores 10 for Hawkeyes — Former Marshall High School standout Jake Kelly, a freshman at Iowa, scored in double figures in his first collegiate game on Thursday.
Kelly scored 10 points in 16 minutes as Iowa beat Division III Simpson College 56-30 in an exhibition game. Kelly hit 2 of 3 shots from the field, both 3-pointers, and also went 4 for 4 at the free throw line. He also had one rebound.
Iowa has just 11 players on its roster this year due to several defections after former coach Steve Alford took the New Mexico job.
• Trendelman paces St. Joe's — The St. Joseph's volleyball team lost both matches on its final road trip of the season recently, falling by identical 3-0 scores to Northern Kentucky and Bellarmine.
Joy Trendelman of Terre Haute South had a team-high 18 kills for the weekend.

In today's family first, we're talking about ways to get your kids to like vegetables!
Parenting magazine that came out with a fabulous list of recipes that can be done in just minutes and not have kids running out of the kitchen.
It uses the colors of vegetables and food like chicken, cheese and other proteins kids already like.
If you'd like the recipes to try, they made a Monday through Friday list... and we put them on our web channel, nbc15.com under "The Morning Show" and recipes.
Another fabulous idea from that same issue of parenting magazine is a list of Halloween costumes you can put together at home, some with no sewing, others pretty minimal.

While many metro-east schools have applied for an "Act of God" exemption to avoid having to make up their lost snow days, others are looking for alternative solutions to missed school.
Some districts lost as many as six or seven days to the snowstorm and bitterly cold weather earlier this month.
The state requires that schools build in a minimum of five snow days for their schedules. Districts that use more than those days can apply for an "Act of God" exemption so that they do not have to make up the days and will not lose state aid for them.
To qualify, school must be canceled for reasons beyond the control of the school district and that threaten students' health and safety. The regional superintendent of schools and the state superintendent must approve the applications.
So far, at least 10 districts in St. Clair County and two in Madison County have applied for the Act of God exemption.
In St. Clair County, they include Belle Valley District 119, Belleville Area Special Services Cooperative, Brooklyn District 188, Cahokia District 187, Freeburg District 70, Grant District 110, Lebanon District 9, Millstadt District 160, New Athens District 60 and Pontiac-William Holliday District 105.
In Madison County, Edwardsville District 7 and Granite City District 9 have applied. However, assistant regional superintendent Andrew Reinking said the districts have 30 days to apply, and others may do so.
Belleville District 118 Superintendent Matt Klosterman said district officials are still determining whether to apply for an Act of God day or not. The district has used six days of the five it built into the calendar, and will discuss the matter at its board meeting Tuesday.
East St. Louis District 189 will likely apply for one day's exemption as students were out for six days due to the weather and broken pipes, according to spokeswoman Kim Roberson.
"If we have to go out again for inclement weather, we may have to meet to decide what to do: whether to cut out holidays or apply for more Act of God days," Roberson said. "That has not been decided yet."
Several administrators are wondering what to do if another snowstorm hits.
"We don't know what the rest of the winter is going to bring," said Grant District Superintendent Matt Stines. "It's hard to say how many Act of God days we'll have to use. It all depends on what the winter looks like."
Jonathan Tallman, superintendent of Red Bud Community Unit School District 132, said he's recommending the school board alter the school calendar this year to have an attendance day March 3 on Casimir Pulaski Day rather than a holiday to make-up one of the emergency days used. Then the district will apply for one Act of God day through the Monroe-Randolph County Regional Office of Education, according to Tallman. District 132 had five emergency days built into its calendar, and the district has used seven thus far.
Other schools plan for more snow days than the state minimum. O'Fallon's District 203, 90 and Central 104 have built in 10 days and have only used six.
Collinsville Unit 10 builds in seven school days, all of which must be used before they can apply for Act of God exemptions. So far Collinsville has used six days.
Collinsville Superintendent Robert Green said that it was an intentional decision to plan for more days that would have to be made up.
"One year we missed 10 days, and we felt at that time that even though five days were forgiven legally, it was not the best thing for students," Green said.
At Triad District 2, five days were scheduled and six were used, so the district will apply for an exemption for one day, according to Superintendent Leigh Lewis. While there has been no discussion of planning more days in the future, Lewis said they want to explore more "innovative" ideas like online learning to continue education when school is called off.
"A lot of kids have Internet access at home," Lewis said. "Whenever you lose instruction time, you should try to make that instruction up ... The 11th-graders lost five days of instruction before high-stakes tests. When you look at instruction in January and instruction after Memorial Day in May, there's a difference.
"A better use of our time is to look at ways that when kids are out of school for inclement weather or health reasons, they still have access to instruction."
Granite City Superintendent Jim Greenwald said while the district will apply for one Act of God day, he wants to look at alternative instruction methods for future snow days.
"I like the idea, and naturally schools try to implement as much technology as possible," he said. "I think it's a good idea and a good concept."
A local Catholic school implemented just such a program this year. Gibault Catholic High School required all students to log on to their computers and do at least five hours of schoolwork a day during the snowstorm. Gibault has a one-to-one computer initiative where all students are required to have a laptop, netbook or tablet computer.
Meanwhile, Edwardsville parents were told in a recent district letter that due to the loss of instructional days, other interruptions such as field trips and assemblies may be reevaluated. Parents were asked to reconsider any unnecessary absences from school.
"Let's all do our part to keep our students in the classroom and on task," the letter read.
