We're aware you only slept seven minutes last night and you got out of bed this morning feeling like you could body slam a nine-story building, so pace yourself throughout the day. While we wait, chime in here with all of your game day thoughts and comments. Any news that breaks between now and then will also be posted here.
Finally, the actual game thread should go up sometime tonight around 7:00.

Be on the lookout for those if you start having site issues when the comment count gets high.

The youth justice system deals with young people who have committed or allegedly committed offences. In Australia, it deals primarily with young people aged 10-17 at the time of the offence, although there are some variations among the states and territories. Youth justice is also known as juvenile justice.
Major parts of the youth justice system include the police, courts and youth justice supervision. Young people first enter the system when they are investigated by police, and charges made against them may be answered in a court. If the charge is proven, the court may hand down any of a number of legal orders, either supervised or unsupervised.
Young people may be supervised in the community or in detention. They may be supervised when they are unsentenced - that is, when they have been charged with an offence and are awaiting the outcome of their court case or sentencing. They may also be sentenced to a period of supervision if they are proven guilty in court.
These are the latest figures on youth justice supervision from Youth justice in Australia 2012-13.
Across Australia, children under the age of 10 cannot be charged with a criminal offence due to their immaturity. While people aged 10 or over can be deemed to have criminal responsibility, in practice, in all Australian jurisdictions a rebuttable presumption exists (known as doli incapax in common law) that young people between the ages of 10 and 14 are incapable of crime.
There are separate justice systems for young people and adults in all states and territories, each with its own legislation. The upper age limit in the youth justice system is 17 in all states and territories except Queensland, where the age limit is 16. This refers to the age of the young person when the offence was committed (or allegedly committed), and means that people who are aged 18 or older (17 or older in Queensland) when they (allegedly) commit an offence will be dealt with under the criminal legislation relating to adults.
However, it is possible for young people aged 18 or older to be under youth justice supervision. This includes young people who:
A key principle of the Australian youth justice system is that young people should be detained only as a last resort. This is consistent with United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states that children should be deprived of liberty for the shortest appropriate period of time. It is also consistent with the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice ('The Beijing Rules'). This principle is legislated in each state and territory.
State and territory legislation also allows young people to be diverted away from further involvement in the youth justice system when appropriate. They may be diverted from the youth justice system altogether (such as an informal warning by police); referred to services outside the system (such as drug and alcohol treatment); or diverted from continued contact with the system by police or courts (such as conferencing).
The figure below summarises a range of possible pathways through the youth justice system. The stages that require a young person to be supervised by youth justice agencies and are included in the Juvenile Justice National Minimum Data Set (JJ NMDS) are shaded. These stages are the focus of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's reporting series on youth justice supervision.

A number of ghostly figures are said to haunt the old carriages and walk the hidden recesses of the Head of Steam museum...
On the far platform at North Road station stands a third class carriage built in 1865. There have been several sightings of a young girl dressed in a Victorian costume within this carriage. She is usually seen sitting in the far right compartment at the back of the carriage.
Staff members when closing the museum have often heard strange noises coming from the carriage, including the sound of a child singing and laughing.
The Museum Manager, whilst working late one night in the Waiting Room next to the carriage in 2008, heard heavy knocking noises coming from the carriage. He went over to the carriage to investigate but the noises stopped as soon as he looked inside. It was only when he returned to the Waiting Room that the banging started again.
Several children claim to have seen a man in a red jacket in the engine compartment of the Tennant 1463 locomotive. They say he was looking at the various controls within the cab of the engine before disappearing.
Around midnight on a cold winter's night nearly one hundred and fifty years ago, James Durham was the night watchman at North Road Railway Station. Feeling cold, he decided to go down into the porters' cellar to warm himself in front of the fire and to have something to eat. He went down the steps and had just settled himself on the bench opposite the fire when he was startled by a man coming out of the adjoining coalhouse.
The stranger was dressed in a "cut away coat with gilt buttons, a stand up collar and a scotch cap". With him was a large black dog. He said nothing but suddenly he threw a punch at the watching James. James hit back but his fist went right through the figure and he skinned his knuckles on the stone wall of the cellar. The man seemed to stagger and the dog attacked James. Then the stranger clicked his tongue and he and the dog returned to the coalhouse. Rubbing his leg where the dog's teeth had gripped him, James lit his lantern, took a few steps and looked inside the coalhouse but there was no sign of the stranger. He and the dog had vanished into thin air. James was astonished by what had happened but realised that the stranger must have been a ghost. There was no other way to explain what had happened because there was only one door in and out of the coalhouse.
The story of the ghost's appearance became known in Darlington and Edward Pease, the "father of the railways", sent for James to ask him about it. He questioned him closely as to whether he might have fallen asleep and dreamed the whole thing but James said he had gone down to the cellar only a minute or two before the figure appeared. He had been a night watchman for several years so he was used to sleeping during the day and staying awake at night. He was quite sure that it had not been a nightmare.
Forty years after James saw the ghost, the Reverend Henry Kendall, Minister of the Congregational Church in Darlington, asked him about what had happened. Kendall had known James for twenty-five years and, in 1890, persuaded him to sign a statement about what he had seen. In it, James described the ghost's appearance, and said that he had been a night watchman at the Darlington and Stockton railway station for fifteen years. He would go on duty about 8 o'clock at night and finish about 6 o'clock in the morning and he had been employed at the station for about two or three years when he saw the ghost. He also said that he had not drunk alcohol for 49 years.
Kendall was friendly with a man called W.T Stead, who had been the editor of the Northern Echo in Darlington but had moved to London where he was writing a book about ghosts. Kendall was so convinced that James had really seen a ghost that he wrote to Stead and the story appeared in Stead's book.
In October 1891 Henry Kendall visited North Road Station in the company of an old man who had worked at the station at the time James Durham had seen the ghost. This ex-employee of the railway company remembered that long before James started working at the station, a railway clerk had committed suicide there by shooting himself with a pistol. He showed Kendall where it had happened and said that the clerk's body had lain in the porter's cellar before it was taken to the mortuary. He said the clerk's name was Winter. He had dressed the same way as James had described and he had owned a black retriever dog. He had left a wife but no children.
And this turned out to be true! A twenty nine year old man called Thomas Munro Winter was employed at the station as a ticket clerk. His death certificate says that on Tuesday 4th February 1845 he had committed suicide at the railway station. At the coroner's inquest the verdict was "temporary insanity" and on Thursday the 6th February he was buried in St. Cuthbert's churchyard in Darlington.
James Durham was in his late thirties when he saw the ghost. He had been born in 1817 in Aysgarth in Wensleydale, but moved to Darlington as a young man. He probably worked as a night watchman at the railway station from about 1852 till 1866. When he left he became a confectioner and by the time he died in 1899 he was quite a wealthy man. He is buried in the churchyard at Aysgarth.
So, as you walk under the footbridge in the museum today, look for the trap door in the wooden floor. Be careful, because this opens into the very cellar where this strange event took place...
Extract taken from 'James Durham and the Ghost of North Road Station Darlington', by Irene Macleod and Olive Howe, 2001.
A visitor to the museum states that in the 1970's, when the museum platform was derelict, her boyfriend saw the figure of a man and his dog walking over the footbridge. He was seen walking up one set of steps, across the bridge but disappeared whilst walking down the other set of steps. Maybe this is the ghost of Thomas Munro Winter and his dog!
On a snowy evening in the early 1950's, the ticket clerk was waiting for the last train of the day. He was at his counter in the Booking Office when he heard the train pull in. He heard the sound of a carriage door open, then someone got out, slammed the door shut and the train pulled away. The sound of footsteps could be heard across the platform and the ticket clerk naturally expected the passenger to walk past his booth but after a few minutes, no one came. He walked out of the ticket office to search for the mystery passenger but the station was deserted. He went to either end of the station to see if someone was trying to avoid paying but the snow on the platform lay untouched.

The cellar as it appears now, containing a replica of the shrouded body of Thomas Winter
Over the years I've visited hundreds of allegedly haunted locations. At some I've received a welcome fit for a king, and at others a less than enthusiastic response. The Head of Steam Museum in Darlington, I have to say, is definitely in the former category.
The museum is situated within the North Road Station, a historic building at the epicentre of the town's rail service. There is a ghost story attached to the premises that has gained almost iconic status in Darlington, and I thought it was about time I got to the bottom of it. Hence, one Sunday morning in February, I went there with my colleague and co-author Darren W. Ritson to find out the true story behind the legend.
The tale revolves around an employee at the station called Thomas Winter who, in February 1845, committed suicide. Winter had been suffering from depression due to a complaint that had been made about him by a rather obnoxious passenger. Consumed by a sense of hopelessness, Winter entered one of the cubicles in the Gents' toilet and shot himself.
Just under a decade later, a watchman employed at the station named James Durham entered a cellar which doubled as both a "bait room" and a coal house. Almost as soon as he walked into the room the man observed a stranger coming out of the coal house, and looked at him keenly.
The man, he noted, was dressed in a smart coat with metal buttons and sported a "Scotch cap". With him he had a large, black Labrador dog. Without warning, the man launched an attack upon Durham. The watchman, quite naturally, fought back and threw a punch at the mysterious assailant.
To Durham's astonishment his fist went right through the man as if he wasn't there and collided with the wall, scraping his knuckles in the process. The stranger then "clicked his tongue" at the dog, and both man and beast walked back into the coal house. Durham, a sturdy character who was not about to let the matter ride, immediately followed. Both the stranger and his canine companion had disappeared.
Durham was a devout man of impeccable character, and those who knew him were in no doubt that his experience had been a genuine one. He had, it was believed, encountered the ghost of none other than Thomas Munro Winter. Curiously, it was this very room where Winter's body had been taken, wrapped in a shroud, just after he killed himself.
The cellar entrance is now bricked up, unfortunately, but a glass panel situated where a trapdoor used to be enabled us to peer down into the room which has essentially remained unchanged for well over a century.
A new café has just opened in the station, and eventually Darren and I repaired there for an early lunch. The food was absolutely superb, and rivalled anything I've been served in museum eateries elsewhere either here or abroad. We discussed the case at length over a bacon sandwich to die for and pretty much concluded that the story of the North Road ghost was legitimate.
David Tetlow, the Museum Manager, kindly showed us the entrance to the cellar which, although no longer accessible, still looks the same from the outside as did in the mid-19th century. It was strange to think that we were standing next to the very door which the body of Thomas Winter had been carried through all those years before.
Better still, go there yourself. The staff are extremely courteous, and you can let your gastronomic senses run riot in the café whilst, of course, keeping one eye open for the ghost of Mr. Winter...

TOWSON, Md. - The Tiger football team held its final scrimmage of the spring on Saturday afternoon and the defense took advantage of the opportunity to show off.
The defense dominated the 90-play scrimmage as the front line constantly pressured all four quarterbacks that played in the scrimmage.
Ryan Delaire, a transfer from the University of Massachusetts, continued his outstanding spring. Delaire, a 6-4, 245-pound native of Windsor, Connecticut, has been a defensive standout all spring.
"Ryan has a great motor," says Towson Coach Rob Ambrose. "The more we push him, the better he plays.
"He is a very good football," he added. "But he is also a very good person. There have been many times when we get a transfer student from a I-A school, that player comes in here thinking they are better than they are. But Ryan is a very humble guy. He is thankful for the opportunity and he is grateful to be part of our program."
Coach Ambrose also praised the work of defensive end Greg Grant. He said, "Greg just keeps doing things the right way. Every week he gets better."
The Tigers' starting trio of linebackers, Monte Gaddis, Bryton Barr and Telvion Clark, also excelled in Saturday's scrimmage.
"Last year, all three of those guys were new and they played well," added Ambrose. "Now. they have all played together for a while and they are playing together. They are fun to watch."
Gaddis and Barr each interecepted a pass in the scrimmage.
The Tigers, who have three practice sessions remaining, are getting set for Tiger Bowl III, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 27.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday called on Arab parliamentarians to show Muslim unity and support Iran against threats from the West.
Addressing visiting MPs from Arab countries at the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Tehran, Iran's Press TV quoted Rouhani as saying that the "multifaceted" threats against Iran would eventually have a negative impact on all Muslim nations.
Rouhani attacked Israel, saying that the "Zionist regime" gains the most benefit from the current upheaval in the Muslim world.
The Iranian president condemned using violence against Muslims in the name of anti-terror activities.

My name is Callan Reilly and I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas majoring in Journalism and minoring in English. I'd love to work in the fashion industry when the time comes – my dream job would hands down have to be a correspondent on E!'s Fashion Police. Talking and fashion are two things I consider myself to excel at.
I'm originally from southern California but growing up, I also lived in Kansas City, Denver, and Phoenix. My desire for a "real" college experience as well as my love for Kansas brought me to KU. I wanted to return somewhere I was familiar with, and I also fell in love with the college town of Lawrence. I'm a yoga fanatic and I also write for my school newspaper, The University Daily Kansan, where I have a weekly fashion column.
My interest for fashion derives from my intense desire to stand out, as well as my passion for creativity. Nothing is more impressive to me than the works of my favorite designers, such as Alexander McQueen, Balmain, and Victoria Beckham. Writing is another creative outlet that I enjoy, so CollegeFashionista is a project that I'm very excited to be apart of.
This summer I will be going abroad to London in a fashion journalism intern program, and I could not be more excited. I can't wait to visit Europe for the first time and be living in one of the fashion capitals of the world.
As seen here, I'm wearing one of my staple outfits. Denim on denim is a look that I cannot deny. My high waisted wide leg jeans Levi's from Urban Outfitters were originally $100, but I purchased for $5. If that's not CollegeFashionista material, then I don't know what is. My denim button up is from a Lawrence boutique, and my white snakeskin pumps are Dolce Vita. I love the new trend of winter whites and I'm all for breaking rules. Finally, my purse is a navy Mark Cross leather bag, perfect for red and blue filled KU game days.
I hope to prove through my posts that fashion does very well exist on college campuses, even in places such as Kansas.

Dear Sisters, dear Brothers,
Ascension is one thing, Reality of what we Are, another.
Ascension suggests the idea, that we will be happier as soon as outer circumstances change, as soon as we experience as beings, identified with a body-mind, greater freedom and the end of "slavery" by those who have controlled us for Millenniums. Did they really, or did we allow to enslave ourselves?
Many say, they can't wait anymore, they want to go "home".
But what is home?
Is home a different place than this one here, which will then host a perhaps more refined body-mind? Is it another dimension, which looks different, "more" subtle, "more" perfect, "more" beautiful?
Is this what "makes"us happy? Can we really only be, Who we Are, by changing the environment?
The ancient teachings of enlightenment seem to be neglected and forgotten in these times where attention is on ascension, as if it would be about an escape, out of our situation, while there is a tendency to confirm to one another conditional "good-heartedness" as our best and foremost true essence.
I cannot help myself but ask deeper questions. Not only that but to explore and experience the truth of our being-ness on a radical level.
Yes, sometimes I feel that tiredness too, being in this world of endless repetitions of promises which are not kept. It is even now repeatedly pointed to the possibility that the forces that were, are still manipulating our timeline so that we seem to be captured in a loop-hole of finite time, appearing as infinite.
But then I remind myself that exactly this is the challenge to go beyond. What is shown to us through this is, how we identify ourselves with limitation, while we are unlimited beings, (not dimensional beings!) but eternal beings, beings of the Pure Radiance of Eternal Divine Consciousness and Love-Bliss-Light. How could it be that we then fall for the illusion of being incarcerated?
Is not earth so far a school to transcend this illusion and to remember who we really are, beyond any dimensionality? Did we not agree to forget, being a rule of this game of coming here?
And is it not, that we experience, what we believe is real? Is it not that we are here to learn about mind and go beyond?
I do not agree with the victim consciousness that blames the crazy controllers for all the misery we are experiencing! They only mirror our own believes and what we agreed to experience in this incarnation.
Ascension therefore is in the first place a growth in consciousness, and this can happen in every environment, even here and now, on still prison planet.
We can be free, we can experience the total freedom of our own True Nature, in the midst of all of this, and the more we do, the less can anything of this still odd world, touch us. Mainly, because it becomes less and less our reality.
I am not talking about a mindful experience of freedom, a kind of day-dreaming. This is about the literal experience of freedom, which is the freedom from the incarceration in the realms of mind, and which belongs to the domain of pure and mere feeling. It is not the conditional, even higher dimensional feeling we know in the middle station of the heart, in the middle of our chest. It is unconditional feeling, prior to this body-mind construct.
There is a portal in the right side of the heart to that Utter Freedom which is of a beauty and breath-taking purity that is far beyond any beauty of any dimension, low or high.
To enter this portal, requires to first withstand and endure the pains of the currencies of mind frequencies, which are like boomerangs returning to our own electrical brain, reflected back from the finite walls of the chambers of our imagined worlds, low or high! This is the painful struggle we must endure and observe, before we are able to enter this pristine and untouched realm of our own True Essence and Home!
We can enter this portal even in this prison world – and there is nothing to "ascend", but it is the way "out", the radical way out of any limitation we are dreaming, gross or subtle, and even causal ultimately.
Yes, our body-mind might be tired! But are we the body-mind? Do we want to do this to ourselves and please the controllers by making common cause with them? We don't need to, not even now!
We cannot blame them, they are here to help us to go beyond our own limitations – by sheer exaggeration. To find ourselves right here. Have there not been countless beings in all the eons of human life on earth that found the way out, inspite of this illusion?
And have all of a sudden, as we more closely understand the game, our spiritual muscles become weak as we consent now to blaming, attached to self-pity, while we are throwing the great spiritual tradition with its glorious and graceful secrets out of the window?
The Winds of Freshness and Eternity, the Happiness, blowing and flowering from there, where no mind is, from the Hole in the Universe on the right side of the heart, which is the Opening to our true Freedom, and Which is Source, – these Winds are always ready to sweep away all the false ideas and images we dream, while wandering the path of the search, in low worlds and in high worlds.
To wake up, there is no world like we know or imagine. There the dream in the dream ends. The Clarity is all-consuming there and it is only old habit to allow to be drawn back into the magic of the worlds. However, to know this Freedom makes us free, where ever we are, whatever the body-mind experiences, low or high. We must remember and not forget. It is there where True Love Shines.
With much love,
