LSU football is going through Spring Practice once again. That means among other things, that the Big Cat drill is back. Here's some footage of it. As you can see, it was spirited.
The day has arrived that none of us knew we were waiting for: the 2012 SEC Coaches Picture Day at SEC headquarters.
All 14 coaches are there now? Did you forget the SEC added Texas A&M and Missouri. I didn't because I despise those additions. If I were good at Photoshop (I'm not at all), I believe it would be possible to cut Kevin Sumlin (A&M) and Gary Pinkel (Missouri) out of the picture.
I'm not sure what the symbolism is of Slive with his hands on Steve Spurrier's shoulders is, but the image is haunting.
The 2012 BCS National Championship Game between LSU and Alabama is just 22 hours away. I'm taking a break from posting Positive Impact Factor numbers from the NFL to put up this hype video for the national championship game.
But if you aren't tired of PIF data just yet, here's the one I put up on LSU and Alabama's defensive PIF.
While the college football bowl season is on hold today because of the scheduling arrangement with the NFL, it appears junior Robert Griffin III will depart Baylor for the NFL.
If the report is true, than the amazing run you see in the video above from Baylor's 67-56 win over Washington in the 2011 Alamo Bowl, is some of the last footage available of Griffin playing college football.
Griffin won the 2011 Heisman Trophy for an outstanding year. He led Baylor to a 10-3 season. Griffin threw for 4,293 yards and 37 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions in 2011. He also rushed for 699 yards and 10 touchdowns and caught one pass for 15 yards. In four seasons at Baylor, Griffin threw for 10,366 yards and 78 touchdowns and rushed for another 33 touchdowns.
His Positive Impact Factor (what's this?) for the 2011 season was a 66.1. His career PIF was a 62.8. Griffin's 2011 PIF number ranks better than any Heisman winning quarterback since 2000 except for Florida's Tim Tebow (2007, 75.9 PIF), Oklahoma's Sam Bradford (2008, 67.8 PIF) and Auburn's Cam Newton (2010, 70.4 PIF).
The No. 1 LSU Tigers are back in the SEC Championship Game. Their opponent is a familiar one in the Georgia Bulldogs. LSU is 1-1 against Georgia and 3-1 overall in the SEC title game. LSU won in 2003 en route to a BCS National Championship. Georgia won the game in 2005. Les Miles is 1-2 all-time against the Bulldogs. LSU leads the overall series 15-12-1. If LSU wins on Dec. 3, it will be their 11th SEC Conference title. Georgia has 12 SEC titles, their last was in 2005. The Bulldogs are 2-1 in the SEC Championship game and 1-3 vs. the No. 1 team in the country.
The Arizona Wildcats got their man on Monday night when they hired former Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez. Arizona fired Mike Stoops in October after the Wildcats started off the 2011 campaign 1-5. Stoops had gone 41-50 (27-38 in PAC-12 play) and 1-2 in bowl games in his seven plus years as head coach.
Arizona is hoping that Rodriguez will be more West Virginia than Michigan. In his short career at Michigan, Rodriguez went 15-22. As the Mountaineers head coach, Rodriguez was 60-26 and got West Virginia to two BCS bowl games. He won at least 10 games in his last three seasons at West Virginia. By comparison, Arizona has only had two ten win seasons total since they began playing football in 1899.
To be fair here, they've only been playing seasons long enough to make that stat relevant since the late 1940s. Arizona does have a win percentage better than 57% all-time, but is only 6-8-1 in bowl games. They have never played in the Rose Bowl and only shared a PAC-10 title in 1993. Arizona did stomp Miami 29-0 in the Fiesta Bowl that season.
Will Rodriguez be able to bring the Wildcats unprecedented success? The first thing he needs to do is hire the right defense coordinator who meshes with his spread-option offensive style.
Missouri's head football coach Gary Pinkel was arrested last night on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. This was Pinkel's first offense. He posted $500 bond. He was alone in his vehicle when he was pulled over.
Today, Pinkel released the following statement:
"Last night after practice, I met some friends for dinner. After dinner, I was stopped by a Boone County officer and received a citation for impaired driving. First and foremost, I am very disappointed in myself for my lack of judgment in this instance. Nobody should drink and drive, including me. My staff and I constantly reinforce with each of our players the importance of not putting yourself into a position such as this. I did not follow that here and for that, I sincerely apologize to the University of Missouri, to our administration, to the Board of Curators and to our fans. I have already met with our staff and communicated with our players and have apologized to them. I accept full responsibility for my actions and will abide by whatever course of action our leadership deems appropriate."
Pinkel has coached at Missouri since 2001, compiling a record of 82-54. The Tigers are 5-5 this season. Pinkel will not coach this week's game against Texas Tech.
I should have titled this: Joe Adams returns this punt through Tennessee. Because that's what we are witnessing here. Total domination. LSU has to play the Hogs in the last regular season game of the year. I don't anticipate Brad Wing kicking the ball to Adams on purpose after the punt return in the video. Tyrann Mathieu was toasted on the Adams' TD catch on fourth down last year. Adams was not so fortunate on this play in 2009. What will happen for Adams this year against LSU?
Speaking of a potential LSU-Oregon rematch, here's Oregon running back LaMichael James slicing and dicing Stanford on Nov. 12. That run was 58 yards. Against LSU in the first game of the year, James only had 54 yards. James' long run against the Tigers was 13 yards. This video serves as a reminder of how impressive that effort was.
LSU remained #1 in the latest BCS Standings while Stanford and Boise State dropped out of the top 5. Oregon moved back in at #4. As I wrote about earlier today, the scenario of a rematch for LSU against Alabama or Oregon is possible but also that human voters might reject those matchups.
What do I think about a rematch? LSU beat both Alabama and Oregon. The Oregon game was decisive while the Bama game went to overtime. However, the Tigers still won both games. To make LSU rematch either team would put LSU in a situation where they would have to beat Alabama or Oregon twice to win the title while they would only have to beat LSU once. It's a scenario that occasionally happens in the SEC and has happened to LSU before. I don't really care for a rematch but if it is that vs. LSU not being in a title game, I'll take it any day.
Here it is, my favorite play of the college football season thus far: Brad Wing's fake punt run for a touchdown against Florida.
Sure, the touchdown was eliminated by the dumb celebration rule that I first mentioned back in April 2010 after it was passed.
The season is getting closer every day. Here's an LSU hype video to pump up my Tuesday morning.
In trying to get his client's path clear to the NFL, Terrelle Pyror's lawyer wanted to get confirmation that Pryor couldn't have played for Ohio State in 2011. He got that confirmation and more in a letter from athletic director Gene Smith.
Beyond being suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season, Pyror was deemed ineligible for the whole season because he refused to cooperate with the NCAA and Ohio State investigations.
Smith said "The university also must dissociate you from its athletic program for a period of five years."
While Pyror, cannot have any contact with the football team in any way shape or form, Smith encouraged Pryor to enroll in classes and complete his degree.
Pyror will be trying to enter the NFL via the supplemental draft. No date has yet been set for the supplement draft.
Today, July 14, we found out that LSU was compliant with in NCAA investigation into Will Lyles' scouting services. An official spoke with members of the LSU football coaching staff last week on the LSU campus.
LSU also released copies of the 32 DVDs it received from Lyles as part of his per State JUCO package (on California and Kansas) to the Oregonian. LSU also received a 91-page booklet with written information on prospects.
The Ducks on the other hand, were not even able to say if the video they say they received from Lyles consists of more than a now dead YouTube link.
As I wrote about here, I don't think LSU has anything to worry about over their connection to Lyles.
The Ohio State University has decided to self-impose the following: vacating the wins from the 2010 season (which includes the Sugar Bowl) and putting the program on probation for two years.
They have not gone toward the step of imposing a bowl ban or reducing their scholarships.
Ohio State waived the $250k fine that Jim Tressel was suppose to pay for committing violations. Instead, Ohio State will pay him the $52,250 he was supposed to make in the month of June. This is a reversal from the statement President E. Gordon Gee made that Tressel was going to have to pay the fine.
Get serious Buckeyes. The NCAA might have a chuckle for a moment at those measures. Then, they are going to hit you. Probably harder than they were going to for such a lowball offer.

Coeur d'Alene Mines (NYSE: CDE ) is to sell its interest in two mines, one in Australia, and one in Chile. The company has entered into a letter of intent with private company XDM to sell its stake in the silver production and reserves from the Endeavor mine in the former, and the royalty from the Cerro Bayo gold and silver mine in the latter.
Coeur stands to make up to $67 million from the transaction. The letter pledges that XDM is to pay $45 million in cash, and $10 million in common equity, to Coeur. Additionally, Coeur will be eligible for two cash payments amounting to $12 million if certain milestones regarding reserve increases and mine development are met.

Some call it "making the drop." Others call it "evening the playing field." The University Interscholastic League calls it reclassification.
But no matter the name, entering a new classification can mean everything. But it can also mean nothing.
Every two years, the UIL redraws its districts and realigns its classifications. Some schools go up, some go down, but most remain where they were. Depending on fluctuating enrollments, a school can move from one class to the next.
When the UIL released its district assignments last February, several area schools took the drop and just one went up a classification.
Friona dropped out of Class 3A into 2A. Five schools - White Deer, Stratford, Bovina, Farwell and Boys Ranch - fell from 2A to 1A. Two more programs, Happy and Valley, dropped from 1A into six-man.
Only Memphis moved up - from 1A to 2A. However, that move was facilitated by the closing of the Lakeview school and those 20 students moved into the Memphis system.
Memphis has a long history of bouncing from one classification to another and from one district to another.
"We never have a place we can call home," Memphis coach Ted Phillips said. "We can't seem to get settled anywhere. Once we get to know who we're going to play and get to know the coaches and personnel, every two years we go somewhere else. We're sitting right here in the corner and we can go north or south or anywhere."
Dropping No Guarantee
In recent history, some schools have benefited from the drop in a classification. But other schools have drawn no favors in the move.
Two years ago, Memphis dropped from 2A to 1A, but landed in a district with Wheeler, which was in the middle of a four-year stretch of trips to the state semifinals or beyond. Memphis, which had been a playoff team in 1994 and 1996 in Class 2A, failed to make the playoffs in 1998 or 1999 while in District 1-1A.
"We knew when we went into that district, it was going to be tough," Phillips said. "We were kind of hoping to go down to that south district with Crosbyton and Valley and those teams. That might have been a little easier. But we knew that north district was going to be rough to get through."
Lamesa, on the other hand, used the drop as a springboard to the playoffs. The Golden Tornadoes won two games in their two final seasons in Class 4A in 1996 and 1997.
However the year of the drop in 1998, Lamesa went 5-6 and lost in bi-district to one of the eventual state semifinalists, Monahans. In 1999, Lamesa rolled to the state semifinals itself with an 11-3 record, losing to eventual state champion Liberty-Eylau 46-16.
"We knew where we were in 4A. There for a couple of years we were 1-9 in 4A and it was tough for us to compete with the numbers," Lamesa coach Tim James said. "We knew that Feb. 2, 1998 was going to be an important date if our program was to have a chance. We were getting killed in depth, and we felt if we could drop, we would be playing teams with the same kind of numbers we had.
"Our first year in 3A we go 5-6 and make the playoffs for the first time since 1973 and last year we go to the state semifinals. I not sure we could do that if we were still in 4A."
In this part of the country, good football teams are good football teams. But depth separates the good teams across classifications. In the lower classes, two-way starters and 48-minute players are the rule rather than the exception. However larger schools have bigger squads and better numbers to draw talent.
"There for a couple of years we were playing that game where we were going up and coming down," former Plainview coach and current Palo Duro coach Steve Parr said. "There in 1991 we were 2-8 in Class 5A, then we drop to 4A and we go 11-2 and 11-1. Then we're back and 5A and we're not doing as well. The move down did a lot of good for us. We were better able to compete because of the numbers."
In football, numbers mean everything. More depth means a greater pool of talent. Bigger classes have more jumbo-sized players.
"The size difference in 5A can be overpowering," Parr said. "In 5A, you have to be able to two-platoon because I don't think you can stand up to the week-after-week pounding if you're playing a lot of players both ways."
By dropping, programs move from the minnows of one classification to the Goliaths of another. They automatically become one of the favorites and the beasts of the new classification.
Friona's average daily attendance dropped from 374 in 1999 to 342 for the 2000 realignment, an 8.8 percent drop. Friona was a consistent power in Class 3A for many years. The drop planted the Chieftains at the top of 2A enrollment figures.
"We might have more kids than a lot of the other schools," Friona coach Mike Scott said. "That doesn't mean we have better players. But we have more bodies to work with."
The lower classification has an inverse effect on the expectations surrounding a team. Fans expect a bigger school to do better at football. However the drop does not always mean better results on the field.
Palo Duro actually had better records its final two seasons in 5A than the past two in 4A. In 1996 and 1997, the Dons combined to win five games and lose 15. Their first season in 4A the Dons went 1-9 and followed with an 0-10 mark last year.
"Your good teams are still good teams," former Palo Duro coach and current River Road coach Steve Culwell said. "As you go up, you see less two-way players. But your good teams are still good, no matter which class they're in."
No Drop In Prestige
One of the drawbacks of dropping a class is a perceived lower profile. The bigger schools garner more attention. That might ring true in some parts of the state, namely around the metropolitan areas. But in the Panhandle, the smaller schools have historically equaled or surpassed their larger brethren in relative playoff success.
"I don't think a lot of people around here feel that," Friona chamber of commerce executive vice president Kathryn Goddard said. "Football is football. There are a lot of good teams in 2A. Nobody cares what class they're in. There's a a game on Friday night and people are going to turn out."
The school that will likely feel the greatest effects of reclassification is Stratford. Last season, the surprising Elks advanced to the 2A Division II semifinals, losing 56-13 to eventual state champion Celina. Along the way, Stratford defeated Top-10 ranked Iraan 33-29 in the regional round.
Both Stratford and Iraan dropped into 1A's Region I this season where four-time defending regional champion Wheeler already lurks. Added to the mix is Paducah, which made the state quarterfinals out of Region II last season and moves to Region I. The Dragons return almost their entire team intact.
"The kids won't feel any different than before," Stratford coach Brad Thiessen said. "It's still a football game and it's Friday night. They'll still play. The only thing that's changed is that we're at the top end of the numbers rather than the low end. It's a lot more fun for us to play in 1A with the kind of depth we had than in 2A."
With numerous starters returning off the 1999 team, Stratford becomes the 1A team to beat in the Panhandle. Expectations run high in Stratford. However, the redistricting also means some changes in the schedule. No longer will Stratford take on bitter northern rivals Spearman and Canadian. The Elks have district games against teams like Hart, Nazareth, Vega, Boys Ranch and Kress.
Stratford has little history in common with its new district cohorts. A more geographically sensible district alignment would have sent the Elks into 1-1A with Gruver, just 30 miles down the road.
"I think dropping down gets more to the people who used to go to school here more than the ones involved in the program now," Thiessen said. "You're playing teams you're not used to playing and you lose those games against teams that you used to play all the time. Things change that way and I think it bothers some in town that we're not playing the same people. But as far as prestige goes, I don't think it matters as long as you're winning. Winning is winning no matter what level it's at."

The modern recession casts doubt on many long-held economic beliefs, in particular, the validity of free markets. Unable to agree on causes or remedies, economists look on as politicians try various kinds of stimulus spending and corporate bailouts. Pundits call forth the ghost of John Maynard Keynes, often incorrectly labeled as a has-been socialist and tax-and-spend liberal. But Robert Skidelsky, Keynes' biographer and a noted expert on the economist and his work, reveals how Keynes' pre-World War II experiences shaped an economic worldview that still holds lessons for the 21st century. This scholarly book assumes that the reader has more than a nodding acquaintance with modern economic theory and philosophy, yet Skidelsky also injects literary references and sparks of wit that enliven the sometimes-challenging text. getAbstract suggests this abbreviated, but solid, look at Keynes to students of economic and political history, and to anyone who is trying to make sense of how the 2008 crisis happened and how to move forward.
Dont buy this book via the nook reader for iPod. B&n wouldn't provide the download and their customer service desk don't know what the problem could be.
Robert Skidelsky, Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick and biographer of John Maynard Keynes, has written a brilliant little book. He shows how Keynes' ideas can help us to get out of the slump. He compares the effects of the Keynesian paradigm with the effects of Thatcherism: "the former had less unemployment, higher growth, lower exchange-rate volatility and lower inequality." Between 1951 and 1973 global GDP grew by 4.8 per cent a year; between 1980 and 2009, by 3.2 per cent. In Britain, GDP fell from 2.5 per cent to 2.1 per cent, while unemployment soared from 1.6 per cent to 7.4 per cent. Skidelsky writes, "Keynes (like Anthony Crosland in the 1950s) thought that managerial control of large corporations would expand their 'public motives'. He did not foresee the explosion of the bonus culture, which would give managers incentives to rip off both shareholders and the wider public." Capitalism grows less, not more, public-spirited, as bankers grow more rent-seeking and free-riding. Printing more money will not bring recovery; we need 'government action to increase aggregate spending', not cuts. As the author notes, "Experience of Japan's great recession of the 1990s confirms that if the private sector is de-leveraging - reducing spending to reduce its debts - then public sector de-leveraging - cutting its deficit - will deepen, not lighten, recession." Britain's investment is now 25 per cent down from pre-slump levels. Keynes wrote aptly, "a somewhat comprehensive socialisation of investment will prove the only means of securing an approximation to full employment." But he did not ask how we could do this when Britain's 'politically dominant financial sector' used 'state power to promote financial interests'. Skidelsky sums up that we need to tame finance (as the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 did) by splitting commercial from investment banking; we need high public spending for full employment; we need 'a government-backed infrastructure bank', 'more equitable distribution of wealth and incomes', 'control of hot money flows' and protection of our industries. (As Keynes observed, it is better to produce cars inefficiently than to produce nothing at all.)
This is a well written and interesting book. It is something of an appetizer in that it is short. I think it could have done with more technical insights. In that sense it is a little superficial. Worth reading but one is left wanting more.

Gentlemen of the Army Medical School:
With the appointment in 1789 of a surgeon and four surgeon's mates to the regiment of infantry and battalion of artillery begins the history of the Medical Department of the United States Army. For more than a hundred years it has had the respect of the country and the profession; especially since 1832, when the rule was established that entrance to it should be through examination, severe yet fair, having regard to professional and general education and to physical and mental aptitude for service, a rule that so far as I know has never but once been set aside, except with reference to Medical Inspectors during the rebellion. What has this picked body of medical men done to entitle it to such respect, and what in deeds and words has it added to the stock of professional knowledge upon which all the world is

Each play is like maxing out with all those muscles, it's extremely tiring especially considering you're trying to block a 6'7 290lb defensive end like Julius Peppers or a ton of other monsters. Some guys are so powerful they get double teamed and still break out of the double team. Can you imagine the power it takes to bowl over 2 300lb men that can bench and squat over 500lbs each? They're not tired from running at all.
It's sort of like wrestling, when you see these MMA guys exhausted from rolling on the ground it's because of all the muscles they're using.

The USA didn't win a single medal in boxing in any weight division at the 2012 Olympics. The flyweights, lightweights and welterweights are too small for the NBA/NFL, so why didn't they at least win a bronze?

They have their successes in the Middleweight - Heavyweight divisions. It might be that boxing has shrunk as a sport in the U.S and grown in a lot of the rest of the world, so less children want to become boxers and more lean towards basketball/football or even education.
There is definitely something wrong with the American amateur system though, they have been producing less talent each year. They need to focus and give the boxing program more funding, the GB boxing team has gone from strength to strength since 2000. If the US could follow a similar blueprint they might have more success.

They're tired from pushing, every single play is similar to maxing out on your bench and squats. These guys run miles and miles, they're not tired from running lol. A lot of these guys used to run track in school as well some even went on to run in the Olympics like Justin Gatlin, a gold medal winner.
You're using nearly every muscle in your entire trying to push and run around guys. It's extremely tiring especially considering how insanely strong and fast these guys are.
Most of these guys played college basketball as well, a sport that requires a ton of endurance, the guy I brought up Julius Peppers who's 6'7 290lbs with 6% body fat did.
These guys workout like beasts, if you get a chance look up Adrian Peterson training or Ladanian Tomlinson, or Julius Peppers, these guys don't just lift weights.

Enter the Ninja is a 1981 ninja action film directed by Menahem Golan and starring Franco Nero, Susan George, Christopher George, and Sho Kosugi. It is often credited with starting the "Ninja Movie" craze of the 1980s. It was the first in Cannon Films' "Ninja Trilogy" anthology series, followed by Revenge of the Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination.
Cole, a veteran of the Angolan Bush War, completes his ninjutsu training in Japan. Cole goes to visit his war buddy Frank Landers and his newlywed wife Mary Ann Landers, who are the owners of a large piece of farming land in the Philippines. Cole soon finds that the Landers are being repeatedly harassed by a wealthy CEO named Charles Venarius in order to get them to sell their property because, unbeknownst to them, a large oil deposit is located beneath their land. After beginning to thwart Venarius' hired henchmen's attempts to bully and coerce the Landers into the selling of their property to Venarius, Cole eventually finds himself facing an old rival from the days of his training – Hasegawa, who was hired by Venarius as an assassin to eliminate Cole. In the midst of these events, an affair occurs between Cole and Mary one evening.

Production was started in the Philippines with Emmett Alston directing, but when Charles Bronson refused to allow Menahem Golan to direct Death Wish II, Golan, a co-principal of Cannon Films which was producing both movies, took over directing duties of Ninja, replacing Alston.
The film was initially conceptualized by martial artist and stuntman Mike Stone. He wrote the initial screenplay, which shared similarities to the popular novel The Ninja by Eric Van Lustbader, which at the time was being developed into a film by John Carpenter. The final screenplay was written by Stone, Dick Desmond, and an uncredited Menahem Golan. Originally, the role of Cole was intended to be played by Stone himself, but he was let go due to a lack of acting experience. Franco Nero, who had no prior knowledge of martial arts but was discovered by the producers attending a film festival in Manila, was cast instead, while Stone doubled for the more elaborate fight scenes. The film was shot primarily in the Philippines, with some additional footage shot in Japan. This was Sho Kosugi's first major English-language film role.
The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics at the time of its release.
Considering that all the action stunts in the film were practical and done with specially-choreographed fight sequences, the film was shot with potential dangers. Some critics would point out its occasional campy tone while some praising the production values of the relatively low-budget film.
During recent times, it is criticized for having "cheesy acting" and receives negative reviews at the moment. Despite receiving countless of negative reviews these days, a few critics have managed to appreciate the film and the film has garnered a "cult following". This was the original ninja movie that started the "80's craze". The film was followed by two sequels, the second receiving the best reviews in the series and the last receiving the worst reviews.
The film was followed by Revenge of the Ninja in 1983 with Kosugi as the only returning cast member. Kosugi would also return in the third Ninja film, Ninja III: The Domination, in 1984.
Home media[edit]
The film has been released on VHS and Beta during the 1980s, but an official US DVD release had long eluded the masses until MGM issued as part of its Limited Edition Collection (a series of manufactured-on-demand DVD-Rs) in October 2011.[1] The film had also been distributed on DVD in the UK by Lighthouse (2001) and Optimum Entertainment (2011). In 2015, the film was released on Blu-ray by Kino Lorber.

Early police see increase in DWI cases
EARLY, Texas - Early police said the recent DWI arrests are not just alcohol-related.
According to Early Chief of Police David Mercer, the number of drivers under the influence of drugs has also increased. That includes both illegal drugs and prescription medications.
Although prescription medications may not be illegal, Mercer said drivers can still get in trouble if those drugs make them impaired.
"If it affects them, they don't need to drive," Mercer said. "They need to get somebody to drive them or just stay home and rest."
Two men were separately arrested in Early on Saturday morning for reckless driving, one of whom was reportedly under the influence of medication.
"When I was on patrol, we never saw DWIs during the day. It was always right before dark or during the night, and it was all alcohol," he said.
Mercer said he doesn't know why he's seeing more and more traffic violations involving alcohol and drugs, but the best advice is to take action when you see it.
"I strongly encourage people to report reckless driving," he said. "If they see someone who's not driving right, call 911. Get it reported and let us get an officer there to check it."
According to law enforcement records, more than 40 driving-under-the-influence incidents were reported in 2013. According to Mercer, that number has increased by about 20 percent.

Newton has proved everyone wrong and is now emerging as the future of this young Panther team. He has molded well into this offense and is settling into a good pocket passer.
Cam has shown his abilities with touch passes, bullets across the middle of the field and his athletic ability of being able to create a play and get that first down.

KABUL, Afghanistan - Three Americans arrested in Afghanistan were on a self-appointed counterterrorism mission that included abusing eight inmates in a private jail by hanging them by their feet, Afghan officials said Thursday.
The U.S. Embassy identified one of the men detained Monday in a raid in Kabul as Jonathan K. Idema, a purported former Green Beret who claims to have links with Afghan militia forces.
The American military has warned that Idema had been posing as a U.S. military or government employee.
Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali said the three men had, along with four other Afghans arrested Monday, "formed a group and pretended they were fighting terrorism."
"They arrested eight people from across Kabul and put them in their jail," Jalali said at a news conference.
Another Afghan security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said intelligence and police officials found the prisoners hung by their feet.
"They were hanging upside down," the official said on condition of anonymity. The official said reports on the case showed that the men were beaten. He had no details.
Jalali said the eight were released. They weren't identified.
Jalali described the group as "rebels" with no "legal link" to any Afghan or other authorities.
Still, the intelligence official said the three foreigners were wearing uniforms that appeared to be from the U.S. military and were armed with assault rifles.
Idema, described in media reports as an ex-special forces soldier in his 40s, cropped up in Afghanistan in late 2001 when U.S. and allied Afghan forces routed the Taliban.
He offered his services to Western TV networks, including a videotape showing a purported al-Qaida training facility near Kabul, and later featured in a top-selling book called "The Hunt for Osama bin Laden."
An Afghan police official said the Americans appeared to be behind the detention of a man in west Kabul about three weeks ago.
"They went to a house and took a person called Abdul Latif," said the official, who also asked not to be identified. "His wife told us she assumed the foreigners were from ISAF" - the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force that patrols the capital.
Afghan police and intelligence officers seized the Americans on Monday in downtown Kabul. Jalali said the men were operating in Kabul under the guise of working for an export company.

TravelPod Member ReviewsGrand Hotel Union Ljubljana
Beautiful hotel only steps away from Old Town Preseren Square. Staff speaks excellent English, rooms are modern, large, clean and comfortable. Large breakfast buffet served daily (though the coffee could be better and hotter). Free and speedy wi-fi is available in the rooms. Only negative was that since it was still officially winter in the area....but outside temperature was unseasonably high...the room temperature gage was set to heat and could not be switched to air conditioning.

Historical Traveler Reviews Grand Hotel Union Ljubljana
A really nice hotel, but nothing out of this world
After reading some varied reviews about the seemingly few hotels Ljubljana has to offer we decided to splash out and stay at the Grand Union.
The Union has everything you'd expect from a large, modern hotel, including a (fairly small) swimming pool. Breakfast was an excellent selection of the usual continental fayre (cereal, fruit, bread, chese, cold meat, cakes...) and the staff were friendly and helpful. A very big plus is also the fact the hotel sits about 30 seconds walk from the main square and the cafes, bars and restaurants of the old town. We did consider some of the further out hotels and I'm glad we decided to stay close to the centre.
If you're looking for a bit of an "experience" and want to stay somewhere with a real Slovenian feel then maybe there's something better out there. However, if you want somewhere comfortable, clean and incredibly central and you don't mind spending a bit more then I'd definitely recommend the Union.
Great location, great hotel
I treated my girlfriend to a break in Slovenia and we stayed at the Grand Union Executive for 2 nights. The hotel was in a superb location, 2 minutes walk to the river and the Three Bridges so top marks for location. The rooms were obviously suited for the businessman as they didn't have much personality but I hear that many hotels in Ljubljana are targeted at the business user. The rooms were clean and light though we were at the back of the hotel and with that you get noise from the generators and air conditioners. Only a slight gripe. There is a swimming pool at the top of the hotel which isn't open air as I did believe but the views are stunning. There is also a sauna. All hotel staff were attentive and very friendly.
All in all a great place to stay in Ljubljana though look around the web for the best price as the basic asking price is a little steep.
Agree with other reviewers =)
i have to agree with the other positive remarks posted on this hotel. a friend and i stayed at the grand union exec june 3-5 and had a lovely experience. the staff was very friendly and helpful - one of the front desk clerks (katja i think) even called the airline and tracked down my blackberry when i left it on the plane over from zurich. you can't beat the location (although hotel emonec - 2 stars - is just as central and quite a bit less expensive - this was fully booked), the service, and the overall quality of the hotel. this building is featured in many of the postcards of central ljubljana =) i didn't make it down to breakfast but my friend said that it was good, with a nice selection of breads, fruit, cheese, meats, etc. do search around for prices and availabilty, as there is quite a bit of variability out there. booking online was about eur 22 cheaper than contacting the hotel directly.
The best hotel in Ljub
This is indeed the best hotel in Ljubljana - the Lev, which has one star more and in which I stayed during my last trip to Ljub is less nice - smaller rooms, beds, worse service, worse location, worse breakfast.
The GHUE is one of the three GHU hotels; Business is physically linked to Executive, but Garni is a bit away. Business is a bit cheaper and not much worse. The best rooms in the GHUE are in the new part, but the old one is more charming. I stayed in the new, in a double-for-single with a Kingsize; furnishings and amenities were more ***** than ****, incl. the bathroom. The very nice pool with sauna and exercise room is in the Business; from the new part of Executive, you can walk there in your bathrobe (you cannot do that rom the old part!). Excellent breakfast (especially the eggs and the grilled vegetables and sausages). Nice staff, never a problem there. Free internet terminals. Literally two minutes from the central square. High laundry and minbar prices (what else is new?) but a good supermarket in the adjoining block.
And yes, the hotel has a Central Eastern European feel to it and the rooms as well, but if one doesn't want to experience that, one may stay in Peoria or Dayton to begin with, no?
Beautiful hotel - ideal retreat
We had a 4 day break at this superb hotel. The service was faultless and unobtrusive in the restaurants. Staff were friendly but not overpowering. The hotel was totally refurbished last year and it shows. Everywhere is gleaming from the brass trimmings to the cutlery! The first time ever I have entered the 10 rating box for everything on a hotel questionnaire. Ideally situated in the old centre, but overlooking pedestrianised area so always quiet at night. For a relaxing getaway I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Great Hotel!
Booked in as a 'walk in' and got twin rooms for 100 euro's Upgraded to executive without asking. Staff were excellent and friendly. Rooms superb. Good breakfast. Pool is good size and indoor with rooftop views of the city.The location could not be better.
One of the nicest and most welcoming hotels I have been in for many years.
Great location in the beautiful center of town. Front desk staff really mediocre. The room felt Eastern bloc despite being very modern. Definetly overpriced but fortunately we got a weekend special.
Great time in Ljubljana
We stayed in this hotel for two nights with the family plan. We got a large room with two double beds. The room was very nice and came with nice touches such as bathrobes. The breakfast was very good- a very large buffet with much more selection than most. We ate in the restaurant in the adjacent Executive section and had a very good low price meal. The location was very good. We walked everywhere and that was with me recovering from a stress fracture. The pool is also in the other section and is on top of the building for a very nice view while swimming. There is also an exercise room. We were quite happy with the price since we usually have to pay more for rooms that hold four people and they aren't in such prime locations with great breakfasts.
Great location, eastern european grandeur
I stayed for 4 nights in April 2005.
The location of the hotel couldn't be better, just around the corner from the main square.
The impression I got was that the Grand hotel Union was viewed as the top hotel in Ljubjana.
The hotel had an old world grand feeling in the public areas. Lots of marble and polished brass. The hotel was fairly small but felt opulent.
The staff were very helpful, accomodating and friendly. The bellboys took our luggage up to our room and check in was dealt with promptly. The standard of English was very good, as it was across Ljubljana.
The rooms were a good size - 2 queen sized beds, a tv, lots of wardrobe space. fridge and an ice bucket (strangley - made of velvellette). The rooms were decorated in expensive furnishings but with an odd 70's feel to them. The bathroom was clean and mainly white marble.
The breakfast was an expansive buffet affair and I can recommend it, pastries, cooked breakfastl, cereals, cold meats, cheeses fresh breads. Worth getting up for.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is quirky, with a very European feel but exceeded my expectations and I recomend it
Great location but overpriced
I spent three days at the Grand Union Hotel Executive in June 2005.
It has without question the best location in Ljubljana, but unfortunately the rooms are not nearly as nice as the exterior. Typical of Eastern European 4-5 star hotels twenty years ago-although the bathroom was quite nice.
When we asked the front desk to check on a tour to Bohinj, we were handed the phone and told to do it ourselves. Other staff members were somewhat more friendly, but not what you would expect from a hotel in this price range. The buffet breakfast was good, but not outstanding. Unfortunately there are few hotel choices in Ljubljana and the only other deluxe hotel (Hotel Lev) is quite a way from the town center. Overall it is just O.K. , but Ljubljana itself is nice and the country as a whole is beautiful! !

Notes: Wise still troubled by errant pitch
Reliever has struggled since injuring Lopez
Matt Wise never dreamed the mental hurdle would be this high.
The Milwaukee Brewers' veteran reliever has not been the same pitcher since he hit Cincinnati's Pedro Lopez in the face with a pitch on July 25 at Great American Ball Park. Wise broke Lopez's left cheekbone, sending him to the hospital and onto the 15-day disabled list.
Including that outing, Wise has allowed six hits, four earned runs and two walks in 1 1/3 innings (27.70 ERA) over four appearances. He has not retired a hitter in his last two outings.
That slide continued Sunday when Wise was entrusted to protect a five-run lead over Philadelphia in the ninth inning at Miller Park. Wise committed an error on Wes Helms' come-backer, then surrendered a two-run homer to Jayson Werth.
Manager Ned Yost removed him at that point, but the Phillies went on to score three runs off closer Francisco Cordero to tie the score and eventually win in the 11th.
"'Wiser,' I think, is still battling the after-effects of hitting that guy in the face," Yost said. "He's not himself out there right now. We're going to have to review it and go over it as a staff."
Wise, who was a dependable set-up man before being shaken by the beaning of Lopez, said he had no choice but to get past that incident.
"I'm making baby steps now," he said. "I'm not going to say it didn't affect me. But it's just a crutch, really. I'm a professional and a lot better than how I've pitched the last two weeks.
"Enough is enough. It's time to move on. There's a little bit of tentativeness. That's people stuff, not baseball stuff. I'm ready to move on."
That stranded feelingIf there were such a thing as an inheritance tax in baseball, Brian Shouse would be bankrupt.
The Brewers' little lefty has been a marvel out of the bullpen in terms of stranding inherited runners. Shouse came through again Sunday, stranding runners on first and third in the sixth inning after taking over for starter Jeff Suppan with two out.
In 50 appearances, Shouse has inherited 56 runners and allowed only nine to score (16.1%). None of his last 19 inherited runners have crossed the plate.
Better yet, Shouse has not allowed an earned run in his last 25 appearances (21 1/3 innings), lowering his earned run average from 5.11 to 1.87. In his last 11 outings (8 1/3 innings), Shouse hasn't allowed a hit.
"He's making good pitches; he's keeping the ball down," Yost said. "He's making the pitches that he wants.
"They're going to 'flare' you and get a hit every now and then. But if you keep coming in and making your pitches, you're going to have success. 'Shousie' is coming in, keeping the ball down and throwing strikes."
Hall takes a breakCenterfielder Bill Hall, who has yet to find his batting stroke since coming off the disabled list, was given the day off by Yost. Since returning on July 25 from a sprained right ankle, Hall is batting .205 (9 for 44) with no homers and four RBI.
Hall was 2 for 20 on the home stand, including 15 consecutive hitless at-bats before collecting a single in the sixth inning Saturday night.
"I think he's still getting back in the swing of things after missing time with his ankle," Yost said. "Mostly, that's what it is.
"His ankle's not hurting, but they had been taping it for support and he was kind of uncomfortable with that, a little bit. Now, they're trying some other things, like lace-up ankle supports. That had a little bit to do with it.
"Billy's still trying to get back into a comfort level at the plate."

'Market Warriors' antique at flea markets
The veteran producers of the PBS staple "Antiques Roadshow" are putting a new twist on the hunt for old things in their latest offering, "Market Warriors."
Executive Producer Marsha Bemko says there is plenty of room for both shows, the original, which she previously called the "granddaddy of the genre," and the new one, which pits four antiques pickers against each other in a competition to bring in the most money at auction.
"If you like old objects and the stories they tell, these are different ends to the business," Bemko says.
Produced by WGBH Boston for PBS, "Market Warriors" focuses on the market of antiques rather than just giving opinions about the value of items, as in "Antiques Roadshow."
The new show presents honest experiences of people buying and selling items at price levels the everyday consumer can understand and appreciate, Bemko says. "Market Warriors" sends four experts across the nation, including Ohio, on a treasure hunt at regional flea markets. The experts are sent out to find target items, and items of their own choosing, during a limited time and budget.
"It's a different show than 'Roadshow.' We're going to spend money on the show," Bemko says.
Much like how each antique has its own story, each expert brings his or her own style and personality to the hunt, a style reflected in their nicknames. Kevin Bruneau, an art dealer, is dubbed the "prowler." John Bruno, art dealer and appraiser, is the "professor" of the group. Miller Gaffney, an art appraiser, is the lone female and labeled the "assessor," and Bob Richter's interior design background naturally leads to the tag of "designer."
The pickers take their task seriously as they ponder purchases, engage in some hard-core negotiating, and make difficult decisions as to what will sell best at auction. Each market also has its own characteristics.
"Who will be in the room that day, you'll never know," Bemko says of the sellers.
Each picker has his or her own approach. In episode two, filmed in Philadelphia, Bruneau's philosophy is to "buy what you think you can make money on," while Bruno espouses to "buy what you love and sell what you know."
"It works for both of them. That's why it is so interesting. There are a lot of characters," Bemko says.
Characters, competition and bartering aside, the stars of the show are the objects themselves. Each episode features a target round in which the pickers all are given the same category. In an episode airing Sept. 17 with a local connection, the pickers go on the prowl for the best piece of cast iron amid the 2,000 vendors at the Springfield Extravaganza in nearby Springfield, Ohio. In all the episodes, Bemko says viewers always will learn little "tidbits" throughout the show. "You get to learn about cast iron. Cast iron is tricky stuff, and you want to buy it right," Bemko says. The pickers constantly have to keep in mind, "is it right; is it good, and what will it sell for?"
Despite their wealth of knowledge, the pickers don't always walk away having made money. Many times they are outside of their comfort zone. They all are tasked with finding costume jewelry, but not one of them is a jeweler.
"It's how can you apply your skills from what else you know," Bemko says. "If it were easy, we'd all be buying or selling." LEL
"Market Warriors" is produced by WGBH Boston for PBS and airs Mondays at 9 p.m.

Early life and education[edit]
Gail Sheehy was born Mamaroneck, New York, to Lillian Rainey Henion and Harold Merritt Henion.[3] Her mother's family was from Northern Ireland--her grandmother Agnes Rooney having run away to America as a mail-order bride.[3] She was close to her father's mother, Gladys Latham Ovens who lived with them. Gladys's husband had died of a stroke during the Great Depression--and so she went to work as a real estate agent for over 40 years.[3] Her grandmother bought Sheehy her first typewriter at age 7.[3] When Sheehy began to sneak into New York City on Saturday mornings, her grandmother kept her secret.[3]
In 1958, she graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Home Economics. In 1970, Sheehy earned her Master of Arts in Journalism from Columbia University, where she studied on a fellowship under renowned cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead.
Sheehy played a part in the movement Tom Wolfe called the New Journalism, in which some journalists and essayists experimented with adopting a variety of literary techniques such as scene setting, dialogue, status details to denote social class, and getting inside the story and sometimes reporting the thoughts of a central character. Sheehy's article "The Secret of Grey Gardens", a cover story from the January 10, 1972 issue of New York, brought the bizarre bohemian life of Jacqueline Kennedy's aunt Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale and cousin Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale to public attention. The story was the basis for the film Grey Gardens and a Broadway musical of the same name.
Sheehy began working as a journalist for the Rochester publication, Democrat and Chronicle[3] from 1961 to 1963, the World Telegram and Sun for a brief time in 1963,[3] then for the New York Herald Tribune from 1963 to 1966, and then as a contributor to New York from 1968 to 1977. She has been a contributing editor to Vanity Fair magazine since 1984.
Her work has appeared in many other publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, New York Observer, USA Today, O, the Oprah Magazine, The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, Harper's Bazaar, Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, Publishers Weekly, The Guardian, London Telegraph, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Glamour, People, Cosmopolitan, and Parade.[citation needed]
New York magazine[edit]
As a journalist, Sheehy was one of the original contributors to New York, founded by her future husband Clay Felker in 1968, who encouraged his writers to break the conventions of newspaper writing.[4]
Several of Sheehy's articles for New York were developed into books. This includes her novel Lovesounds (1970), a psychological novel that deals with the dissolution of a marriage, Panthermania: The Clash of Black against Black in One American City (1971), and Hustling: Prostitution in Our Wide Open Society (1973), which was turned into an NBC TV movie with Jill Clayburgh.
Selected articles[edit]
1971: "Redpants and Sugarman", New York Magazine[edit]
Sheehy gained notoriety in 1971 after New York magazine published a series she wrote about prostitution called "Wide Open City".[5] Part 2 is called "Redpants and Sugarman".[5]
Sheehy told the Washington Post that she had created a "composite character" for "Redpants" in order to trace the full life cycle of a streetwalker. Editor Felker later explained that the explanation was edited out of the story.[citation needed]
1989: "The Blooming of Margaret Thatcher", Vanity Fair[edit]
Published in June, 1989: President Mitterrand says Britain's prime minister "has eyes like Caligula and the mouth of Marilyn Monroe." She also has the nerves of a five-star general and increasingly, the sexual charisma of a woman in her prime. She manipulates her court of bedazzled male advisors with the skill of Elizabeth I. And as she completes her unparalleled tenth year in office, the most powerful woman in the world has vanquished the opposition, gagged the media, and booted out the critics in her own party. So who is there left to tell her when she goes too far?
1992: "What Hillary Wants", Vanity Fair[edit]
Sheehy's 1992 article on Hillary Clinton[6] created a stir by quoting her mentioning rumors of an affair between President George H.W. Bush and a woman named "Jennifer". Sheehy reported that Clinton complained that the media had made much about Gennifer Flowers' affair with Bill Clinton but didn't look into the Bush transgression. Clinton considered that portion of the interview off the record, but Sheehy disagreed, and independently confirmed the "private conversation" Hillary had described by interviewing Hillary's confidante, Atlanta Journal & Constitution owner Anne Cox Chambers, who repeated the conversation word for word.
Fact checkers for Vanity Fair alerted editor Tina Brown to a potential problem, based on their review of the transcript of the interview, but Brown declined to remove the quote. The interview received wide coverage in the press.
1995: "The Inner Quest of Newt Gingrich", Vanity Fair[edit]
Sheehy learned the back story of Gingrich's life from his mother, who revealed that she was a lifelong manic-depressive. Kit Gingrich's first husband abandoned young Newt to a stepfather in exchange for forgiveness of a few months of child-support payments. "Isn't it awful, a man willing to sell off his own son?" Kit Gingrich told Sheehy. Speaker of the House Gingrich told Sheehy that both his fathers were totalitarian and modeled "a very male kind of toughness." He didn't blink when Sheehy asked him if he thought he had a genetic predisposition to bipolar disorder. He said he didn't know, then applauded the special powers of leaders who are thought to have been bipolar. "Churchill had what he called his 'black dog'. Lincoln had long periods of depression." He speculated that leaders who are able to think on several levels at once may have a different biochemical makeup. "You have to have a genetic toughness just to take the beating." he told Sheehy. Her article also revealed that his wife at the time, Marianne Gingrich, did not want him to become president and threatened to make a revelation that would torpedo his 1995 presidential campaign.
2000: "The Accidental Candidate: George W Bush", Vanity Fair[edit]
Sheehy found a possible source of the malapropisms for which Governor Bush was mocked: a history of dyslexia in the Bush family. Diagnostic experts told her that "The errors you've heard Governor Bush make are consistent with dyslexia," and that "a language-disordered person" cannot take in a lot of information at once." Sheehy predicted that if Bush became President, "he would have to develop a work-style where others pre-organized and pre-digested information for him." Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, she suggested, organized much of the candidate's speeches and decisions.
2008: "Hillaryland at War", Vanity Fair[edit]
Publish June 30, 2008: Hillary Clinton's campaign had it all: near-death moments, hard-won triumphs, dysfunctional relationships—and a staff consumed with infighting over how to sell their candidate. It was a battle that revealed why she came so close to victory, as well as why she didn't make it.
Professional affiliations[edit]
In 2009 Sheehy was named AARP's Caregiver Ambassador. In 2011 she became a Chairwoman for the National Osteoporosis Foundation's Generations of Strength campaign.[citation needed]
Television and other media appearances[edit]
Sheehy has been a frequent guest on NBC's The Today Show, MSNBC's Hardball and What Now? with Andrea Mitchell, ABC's World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, Good Morning America, Oprah, CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, Larry King Live, Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, and documentaries such as PBS's "American Experience: Clinton".
In July 2015, Sheehy appeared for an interview on Huffpost Live to discuss her 2014 work, Daring.[7]
Plagiarism lawsuit[edit]
Her book Passages was a national bestseller. In 1975 Roger Gould, then a psychiatrist at the University of California at Los Angeles, brought a suit, which was settled out of court, against Sheehy intended to enjoin publication of her book, which had not yet been completed.
Awards and recognition[edit]
- Seven time recipient of New York Newswomen's Club Front Page Award for Distinguished Journalism
- Washington Journalism Review Award for Best Magazine Writer in America
- New York Public Library Literary Lions Award
- 1973 National Magazine Award for Report Excellence
- 1987 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for The Spirit of Survival
- 1994 Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Dartmouth
- 1997 Hospital for Special Surgery Award For Groundbreaking Work in Women's Health
- 2002 American Psychological Association's Presidential Citation
- 2011 American Society on Aging Leadership Award
A Library of Congress survey named Passages one of the 10 most-influential books of our time.[8]
Personal life[edit]
In 1960 Sheehy married Albert Sheehy.[3] They had one daughter, Maura,[3] and divorced in 1968. In 1984 Sheehy married editor Clay Felker, with whom she adopted a Cambodian child, Mohm. Felker died in 2008.[9] Sheehy currently[when?] lives in New York City.

This off-season has been anything but uneventful for the New York Giants.
The indictment of former great Lawrence Taylor and the recent car crash of third-round pick Chad Jones have offered their fair share of distractions.
However, the show must go on.
Accordingly, there are many performers on the Giants' roster that need to fulfill their potential if they plan on going to the playoffs.
Offense, defense, special teams, and coaches - nobody can hide from the question marks that the G-Men face this year.
So allow me to begin the hoopla and point out the players that have expectations to fill and props to earn.

Network of excellence for epizootic disease diagnosis
and control
Time of action: EPIZONE is due to commence
in May 2006
EU budget (funding): € 14 million for
5 years
Some infectious diseases are rife in animals and can quickly spread through populations. The H5N1 avian influenza virus, for example, is now thought to
be endemic in Asia and is estimated to have killed or caused
the cull of more than 200 million birds worldwide. If farming
and aquaculture animals succumb to epizootic infections the
consequences can be devastating. Outbreaks in Europe, such
as the foot-and-mouth crisis in the UK in 2001, have shown
enormous social and economic impact.
Research into preparedness, prevention, detection, and control
of epizootics is not the task of one laboratory, nor the responsibility
of each Member State. The problem has to be tackled across
the whole production chain of animal-related food. So transnational
co-operation and collaboration is inevitable. The EPIZONE
Network of Excellence will provide a structure at the European
level to facilitate this united effort. It will bring together
the research of 20 institutions from ten European countries,
along with China and Turkey.
The network will focus on sharing expertise and spreading
excellence between more than 250 associated scientists. This
integration will be achieved through a variety of communication
channels, meetings, training and continuous professional development.
EPIZONE will also manage its own scientific work programmes
which will be jointly funded and executed by network members.
The research will cover four main themes: diagnostics, intervention
strategies, surveillance and epidemiology, and risk assessment.
Given the network structure, the technical resources and the
scientific excellence at its disposition, EPIZONE will assure
strategically driven state-of-the-art research of world-renown
Status (January 2006)
This project is due to commence in April 2006

Monday's Erie-Area College Basketball Preview
Edinboro (2-0) at Urbana (0-2)
Today, 7 p.m., at Warren G. Grimes Center
- Radio: WFSE-FM/88.9
- A year ago, senior Jay Fletcher sank a pair of free throws with 8.8 seconds left to lift Edinboro to an 88-85 win, as the Scots overcame a 34-point performance from Urbana senior Armond Battle at McComb Fieldhouse. Today, senior C Bryan Theriot will look to continue his string of success against the Blue Knights, as he collected 31 points and eight rebounds last season a year after posting 33 and 14 in a double-overtime loss in 2011. This year, Theriot is averaging 12 points and seven rebounds. Danny Goins averages 19.5 points per game to lead Urbana, which opened its season with a loss to D-I Chicago State and followed it up with a 93-91 overtime defeat to Ohio Dominican. Conneautville native Casey Baker adds 12.5 points and 8.5 rebounds for the Blue Knights.
