"I was asked a while ago who's going to score our goals, and I said it's going to come from different places," Wheddon said. "We include everyone in finishing."
With Romagnuolo in Kansas City, Kan ., this weekend playing for the Canadian national team, the SU offense was expected to take a hit. Instead, Syracuse outshot the Friars 10-2 and won for the first time since Aug. 21 behind a goal from sophomore Lauren DeCarlo in the 86th minute. DeCarlo came through with the big play, but the entire Orange offense was on the attack throughout the game.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - After returning to the Hefner Soccer Complex after five road matches, an early first half Ball State goal led the Cardinals past the Mastodons, 1-0, on Sunday evening in Fort Wayne.
The 'Dons fall to 2-5-0 in their third-straight 1-0 loss against a MAC opponent. IPFW's two previous losses came against Bowling Green (Sept. 16) and Buffalo (Sept. 11). BSU moves to 5-3-1 overall.
Police said a man they believe is behind four arsons in a Cornelius neighborhood could be behind similar crimes in other states.
Bobby Prevatte is accused of setting four homes in his neighborhood on fire between December and August -- all along Meadow Crossing Lane in the Glenridge community, according to WSOC-TV.
UPDATE, 7:45 p.m.: Police have confirmed that the two victims knew each other. No other employees or customers were targeted in the shooting, which police said was not a random act.
In January, Toronto policeman Michael Sanguinetti visited Osgoode Hall Law School to offer students advice on personal safety issues.
"I've been told I'm not supposed to say this. However, women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized," he told the students, according to a May 8 BBC article. His comments, though brief, instantly sparked an international movement called SlutWalk, an event to combat slut-shaming, victim-blaming and rape culture.
And we didn’t need to hear that sad truth from some outfit called MSN Travel, which recently conducted an international survey and decided that Vancouverites are the third worst dressers on the globe.
Orlando is No. 1, by the way, followed by Maui at No. 2, which we’re sure has something to do with muu-muus and sandals with black socks. (For more on that, check out my colleague Pete McMartin’s clever column on Vancouver’s new shame and what to do about it, published Saturday in The Vancouver Sun.)
Our beloved Jakarta governor, Fauzi Bowo, has been making headlines again. Unusually, this time he was not discussing the traffic or flooding, but fashion. Fauzi advised women not to wear short skirts because it could get them raped.
Fauzi has since apologized publicly for his, shall we say, obtuse statement, but still, how on earth could a so-called educated man make such a harsh comment? (And I stress the word man !)
Omaha, NE – Self-proclaimed “sluts” took to the streets of Omaha Sunday to send the message that no matter what women may wear, their clothes are not an invitation for sexual assault.

MONTEREY, CA, Sep 19, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Dole has teamed up with professional dancer and choreographer Cheryl Burke to motivate salad and fitness lovers to find new heights of inspiration -- whether in the kitchen, in the gym or on the dance floor.
Burke, one of the professional dancers on ABC's top-rated "Dancing with the Stars," becomes the third and final celebrity artist enlisted by Dole for its "Find Your Inspiration" campaign, designed to help consumers maximize the culinary possibilities of Dole's 38 salad blends and all-natural kits. A highlight of the partnership, breaking Oct. 3, is a national online sweepstakes in which participants can win one of three trips to California and a personal, four-hour dance lesson at her Cheryl Burke Dance Studio.
ARE we Brits the most bossed about nation on earth? On the evidence of a day trip to Manchester last week, I have come to the conclusion that we very possibly are.
Ordinarily, I would have driven there, but as the purpose of my visit was to have a long lunch with a friend (which would involve a few glasses of vino), I decided to let the train take the strain.

From men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun winning his third national title to President Susan Herbst's arrival and subsequent ousting of athletic director Jeff Hathaway, 2011 has been one of the most thrilling and tumultuous calendar years in UConn sports history.
Over the weekend, though, this much became clear: None of what has transpired over the past eight months is nearly as important -- both for the athletic department and the university as a whole -- as UConn's next move.

Whether officials call the newest economic Band-Aid a “jobs bill,” a “growth plan” or “stimulus,” Chattanooga-area businessmen say they’ve grown weary of new government programs and doubt that this one will have much effect on job growth.
“It’s all just a temporary measure, so if anything it’s going to give temporary results,” said James Richards, who co-owns several Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurants in the area.
Phish hadn't played a show in Vermont, the band's home state, since 2004. When they did play in Essex Junction on Wednesday, the band was in a state changed by the damage from Hurricane Irene, which caused devastating flooding throughout the state's southern cities and towns.
Relief bills got a little lighter after the concert, which raised $1.2 million to help victims of the disaster, the Associated Press reported . The band announced that all proceeds from the show, attended by 12,000 people, will be donated to two in-state charities to help flood victims.
Francois Parisien and Brett Tivers got off to a good start in this year’s Univest Grand Prix.
They led for much of the race.
In the end, though, Parisien had to settle for being named the race’s most aggressive rider and King of the Mountain champ. Tivers was the sprint champ.
With two laps to go, though, what had once looked like an almost insurmountable lead in the 100-mile long professional men’s bike race through Souderton and into Franconia and Telford, was gone.
Will the Arab Spring lead to more democracy or more state entrenchment in the Arab world?
Imagine you are an Arab country, thus not a democracy but a political economy and rentier state, and you have not seen the protests of the Arab Spring on your streets calling for greater democratic institutions, better governance, growth and inclusion within your borders, yet. You have however, seen the power of the protests and its successful domino effect at toppling dictators and their regimes all around you, within a period of a few months. So, despite your own internal stability, do you wait to see if the Arab Spring dominos lean towards you or, do you take decisive pre-emptive action to keep your population "on-side" and avoid revolt?
Housing agency asks Mooresville for $90,000 because of cash flow problems.
MOORESVILLE A local nonprofit housing agency is asking the town for $90,000 to get through cash-flow problems stemming from what it says is an inability to sell its affordable homes in the poor economy.
Mooresville commissioners Chris Carney and Miles Atkins said they'd have trouble giving the Community Housing Development Corp. of Mooresville/South Iredell any taxpayer money.
Ariz. woman's campaign brings closer scrutiny to fast-food fun areas By MARC LACEY New York Times Published 12:01 a.m., Sunday, September 18, 2011
GILBERT, Ariz. -- One of those who kicked off her shoes and slithered her way through the multihued plastic tubes of a fast-food restaurant playground here one recent morning was not enjoying herself in the least. In fact, she had a frown on her face.
Twenty years ago on a hot, smelly mess of an August day, the kind New York City does so well, I crossed the lobby of a swanky hotel in Manhattan to interview a band. They were in town to promote their first major-label release, Nevermind , and because I worked for Spin magazine, I'd been sent an advance of the music. It had caused me to miss my stop on the subway so confused and smitten was I by the soft and hard edges of the tunes and lyrics coming through my headphones. So I was heading up to meet these guys who called themselvesNirvanaand find out for myself how they put heaven and hell into each of the songs.
Is traffic on Interstate 15 really going to move at the pace of molasses for an entire month?
If the first week was any indication, the answer is yes. But an unexpected ingredient called rain threw a hitch into what is already a recipe for disaster, the around-the-clock repaving project and accompanying lane closures on the state's busiest freeway.
Here we are one week into the 2011 NFL season and already there is mass speculation about the 2012 draft, prompted by Bill Polian’s whereabouts the day before his Indianapolis Colts sans Peyton Manning were walloped by the Houston Texans last Sunday.
Polian, the Colts’ vice-chairman, was in Durham, N.C., on Sept. 10. So was his son, Brian, the assistant special teams coordinator for the Stanford Cardinal, who happened to be playing at Duke. But if Stanford was in town, so was quarterback Andrew Luck, who may well have been the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft had he not opted to remain in school.
BMO Field fell almost silent for the first 45 minutes Saturday.
It was not a protest by the typically vocal Toronto FC supporters over ticket prices, club management or what appears to be another season without a playoff game.
On a day when the kickoff was moved up to the unusually early time of 1:30 p.m. and commuting to the stadium by car or transit was a nightmare for many, Toronto FC and the Colorado Rapids offered little in the first half to get the customers into it.
AKWESASNE -- The cars and stars of the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series took to the track for race number 11 and one driver proved that the race never ends until that checkered flag drops.
Billy Decker won the 358 Modified Series event on Friday night and was looking to do what Matt Sheppard had done the previous season and that's sweep both nights.

CUMMING, Ga. Â Baby bags were a popular place to stash shoplifted items, according to two separate Cumming Police incident reports.
About 4 p.m. Sept. 6, Walmart loss prevention staff say they allegedly saw Joseph Hammons and Melissa Tritt, both of Cumming, place items in a baby bag. After paying for some items, the couple exited the store, 1500 Market Place Boulevard in Cumming, without paying for hidden items.
Jane Lynch's memoir is a simple, straightforward account of her childhood and her struggles with alcohol, her sexuality and her profession.
By Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times Television Critic
Way back in the mists of time, when Lea Michele was a name known only to theater geeks and "Don't Stop Believin'" still belonged to "The Sopranos," the thing that excited most critics, and many fans, about this new show "Glee" was not so much jazz hands as Jane. Jane Lynch, the inevitably hilarious performer whose appearances on shows as diverse as "Two and a Half Men" and "The L Word," in the films of Christopher Guest and Judd Apatow, were always stellar if all too brief. Finally, she had landed a steady gig on a big show — the whole musical thing might not work, the young unknowns might turn out to be duds, but at least this crazy new show had Jane Lynch.

"You can't change time," says the custodian of the bell tower in the haunted town that is the setting for Francis Ford Coppola's new Twixt. "Time changes you." Coppola know that time surely changes a director's level of acclaim. In the mid-'70s, with the two Godfather films and The Conversation, he was the lord of a new generation of moviemakers young comers like George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, whom Billy Wilder derisively labeled the "kids with beards." Over the past three-and-a-half decades those three kids, now clean-shaven sexagenarians, have maintained and enriched their status as moguls, auteurs, producers. Coppola still has the chin whiskers but not the cachet. (See the 100 best movies of all time.)

College athletics often drops to bended knee to raise money from boosters and fans of its programs. When the sport is football or basketball, there's at least some expectation of school spirit.
But it's harder for sports that do not perform in the public eye, which makes what Jenny Hilt-Costello has accomplished with Long Beach State's women's tennis program dramatically successful.

Charlie Strong’s Louisville Cardinals aim to snap a four-game losing streak against Kentucky Saturday in Lexington.
After winning 7 of 8 games in the series from 1999-2006, Louisville fell on hard times during Steve Kragthorpe’s three-year tenure. Kentucky turned the tide on the Cardinals after Kragthorpe replaced Bobby Petrino, and Strong, UofL’s second-year coach, remains in catch-up mode against the Wildcats.

New Trinity coach John Barrick worked his girls' volleyball team hard through the first few weeks of the season. Hard enough to have one player say she didn't want to get out of bed the next morning.
Barrick questioned if he pushed them too hard, but after a quick sweep of Lower Dauphin Thursday night at Trinity High School, it seemed like the Shamrocks' legs were still fresh.
In case you haven’t heard, the Red Sox are in a slump right now. Since the calendar flipped from August to September, they’ve put together a woefully frustrating 3-11 record. Their one-half game lead over the Yankees for the division has turned into a four-and-a-half game deficit. Their nine game lead over the Rays for the Wild Card has shrunk to three games. Making matters worse, the Rays are in town this weekend for a crucial four game set that holds the potential of drastically changing the American League playoff landscape. What’s a member of the Boston sports media to do? If you’re Tony Massorotti of the Boston Globe , you write an overly emotional, trolling article about the current state of the Red Sox that’s purposely designed to fuel the panic of Red Sox Nation.
Remember our story about Google and its Green Blog post that detailed how carefully it scopes out projects that it supports with its carbon offsets program?

The Thunderbirds have not won a game on the field of play (they were awarded one by forfeit) since beating the same visiting Golden Bears in the first home game of its 2008 campaign. If you’re a fan of the blue-ajnd-gold, that’s simply too long to wait. So damn the impending rain and head on over to the Point Grey campus and watch one of the best UBC teams in the past few years as they play their home opener. ‘Birds quarterback Billy Greene comes in with 600 yards passing and no interceptions and UBC has looked good in botha win over Regina and a loss to Calgary, both on the road.

When will the Kanawha County DHHR stop the fraud? For four years there has been a family in Fayette County getting funds fraudulently and another family in Kanawha County who has needs but has been turned down. I have arthritis in my lower neck and I had a heating pad on it all night. I was given a Bayer Advanced Aspirin and the pain was gone in 28 minutes and I know because I timed it. I couldn't believe it. And I do not work for the aspirin company. A probe of the Manchin administration has not found anything. But look at who is conducting this investigation. It will go nowhere because the Democrats are conducting the probe. I was behind a guy with an Obama sticker on his car. He stopped at a green light. When I got up beside of him, I called him a stupid liberal. But when you think about it, what other kind of liberal is there? Starting school on Friday has great advantages. You get rid of all of the administrative tasks and then on Monday, you can come in on a fresh start and learn. That is the whole point, you learn instead of dealing with administrative bureaucracy. This is for the one who said West Virginians are racist and don't like Obama because he has a brown face. Here are the real reasons I don't like Obama: He has put us so far in debt that our great-great grandchildren won't be able to pay it off; he cost me nearly half of my 401(k); he pays no attention to what Americans want; and he coddles illegal aliens. I think the only racist you will ever see is the one who looks back at you in the mirror. The people in West Virginia need to look at themselves and their drug and meth popping. Take care of your own family instead of looking to blame everything on Obama. After reading the Vent Line and seeing all of these people saying their churches teach the Bible verse by verse, I think they lie. I have listened to them for 76 years and they are all one-liners. One-liners for 15 minutes is what you get. There is only one preacher on television who teaches the Bible book by book and chapter by chapter and verse by verse and it is Arnold Murray from the Shepherd 's Chapel in Gravette, Arkansas. Let's try to study the candidates and decide for ourselves who is best for our country and not let just the media and press tell us who to vote for this time. The city of Nitro should have those antique cars over at the football field. People couldn't even drive up 1st Avenue. Some businesses did not have any business that day because of it. Does the Charleston police officer that lives in Jackson County really need to drive a police cruiser home with him every day? That is over 300 miles a week back and forth on the taxpayer's money. Thank you, Dollar Danny, for that. Shame on the person who stole my little grandson's John Deere tractor out of his yard in Kanawha City. He is just four years old and he really loved it. I hope they enjoy themselves with it. I read your story about lucky Penny and her mission to fly her jet straight into the flight United 93, yet they did not have live ammunition on Sept. 11. I've heard that story before. Do you really expect us to believe that NORAD couldn't put a missile on a jet plane in 20 minutes? Flight 93 was not even known to be hijacked at least 30 minutes into the episode.

Briar Woods and Broad Run ran away with blowout victories over their opponents, but Stone Bridge lost just its third regular season game since 2007, to the Chantilly Chargers.

Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard is lending his considerable presence to Seminole County’s effort to help homeless and hungry children — and he needs a little crowd support. Howard will be filming a public service announcement for the cause Friday [Sept. 16] at Longwood’s Lyman High School gymnasium, and producers want about 300 “extras” in the background.
Aligning the curriculum with Maryland common core standards as part of the Race to the Top initiative will mean significant changes to the English curriculum at the high school level.
Director of Curriculum Margaret Pfaff gave a presentation Wednesday to the Board of Education of Carroll County about the notable changes to the 2012-13 High School Program of Studies. The program is scheduled to come back to the board for approval at the Oct. 12 board meeting.
The Maryland State Board of Education should step in to resolve the impasse on the county school board before the latter body ceases to function altogether.
A certain degree of tension on any elected body is to be expected, even desired. However, the animosity between Allen Dyer and some of his fellow board members has become personal and counterproductive.
Reading and writing still above national average, with math significantly below it
Maryland's graduating seniors scored slightly lower on the SATs this year, mirroring a national trend that the College Board attributed to an increase in the number and diversity of students who take the tests.
This year nearly three-quarters of Maryland graduating seniors took the test — considered an indicator of college readiness — and nearly half were minorities. The students were from all schools, including public, parochial and independent, as well as home-schooled.

Faced with a deficit estimated at $10 billion, the Postal Service is looking at an array of options to cut costs, including closing about 3,700 offices across the U.S. and laying off 120,000 employees. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe asked the Senate last week to approve what he called "radical" changes to avoid default.
For about the last 15 years, the Astoria Regional Airport has been host to a number of community public events. This year is no exception.

Flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee was widespread across the Washington metropolitan region Sept. 8, prompting frequent announcements of flood watches and flood warnings on the NOAA weather alert system, television and radio stations, and social media. In Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS), administrators were on the alert for any possible effects of the drenching rain.
Prince William County Schools released the SAT scores for the 2010-11 school year on Wednesday, showing that division students performed closely with the rest of the nation.
The College Board’s report announced that graduating seniors in PWCS who took the college entrance test — in which each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800 — averaged 502 in reading, 487 in writing and 501 in math.
Inova Loudoun Hospital is launching a new program, Mobile Hope, to support the needs of homeless children in Loudoun County.
As one of the richest counties in the country, it is easy to assume Loudoun does not have homeless youth. Yet recently over 650 young students were identified by Loudoun County Public Schools as homeless or precariously housed. Nearly 40 percent of these young people do not have a guardian or parent in their lives. They sleep in cars, in the woods, in abandoned warehouses or “couch surf” among their friends.

Facebook slotted a new feature into the ubiquitous social network yesterday that immediately got the blogosphere arguing over whether the company was copying Google+ and its people-curating Circles function.
By Mike Handes, Social business innovation lead, IBM Australia and New Zealand
In today’s media environment, everyone truly is a critic. Importantly for businesses, the breadth and scope of social media allow critics from all walks of life to be heard across the globe. For marketing professionals, whose business it is to define and shape the brands they work with, this new media climate appears problematic. It may seem impossible to control the things being said about one’s brand online – things which can make or break a business.
SEATTLE, WA, Sep 14, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- TappIn(TM), the leading innovator in digital content access and file sharing, today announced the launch of several new features aimed at professional users, including Salesforce.com integration, cloud caching, enhanced secure sharing and multi-lingual support.

It fought tooth and nail to claw its way back from the brink of market irrelevance in 1997 to become, to date, the most valuable company in the worId.

Doctor Aric Sigman has made the headlines with a recent article in the Biologist entitled, Mother superior: the biological effects of daycare. Sigman drew attention to research showing that levels of cortisol, a hormone that is released in response to stress, increases during the day in children who attend daycare. He linked this observation a range of studies showing detrimental effects of cortisol on mental and physical health, with a particular emphasis on brain function. The Daily Mail reported his conclusions thus: "Sending babies and toddlers to daycare could do untold damage to the development of their brains and their future health."
SAN FRANCISCO — When Facebook set out to build two new data centers, including one in Prineville, engineers couldn’t find the server computers they wanted from Dell or Hewlett-Packard. They decided to build their own.
“We weren’t able to get exactly what we wanted,” Frank Frankovsky, Facebook’s director of hardware design, said at a conference on data-center technology last month.
Hilton Tarrant argues that it has lost the real-time battle.
JOHANNESBURG - I remember the glory days of Facebook. We used to share voraciously our movements, interesting links, videos etc. It was where the conversation happened daily. And then came Twitter.
The real conversation (and the real-time one) shifted to Twitter. The shift was slow to begin with, which made Twitter a hollow place. After all, if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
, a new startup launching today at TechCrunch Disrupt, aims to turn Facebook into that bar.
The easiest way to think about it is as a mixture of Second Life, The Sims, and Turntable.fm all mixed together using your Facebook data and connections. Your Facebook profile becomes a walking avatar. Your pictures are placed on an actual (well, virtual) wall. You can choose what music is playing in the room for everyone to hear. And you interact with other Facebook users as avatars. You can even buy people drinks.

I was on Facebook today when I noticed that some of my friends were “friending” our local parking authority.
Quick, what is wrong with that sentence?
The reason I was annoyed was that the Lancaster Parking Authority was now on Facebook. As a person. Someone had created a personal profile for the parking authority (the agency that controls and regulates parking in our city), as opposed to a business page.

VOA asks Syrians supportive of their president to make a case for his regime
Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad shout slogans holding their country's flag with a superimposed Assad portrait, Damascus, Syria, August 20, 2011.
Given the massive international condemnation of President Bashar al-Assad’s crackdown against what much of the world sees as a pro-democracy uprising, public opinion on the issue looks something like this: Assad is the bad guy. Protesters are the good guys. But some Syrian citizens say their attitude toward their leader is more nuanced and that the outside world has it wrong. Assad is defending and preserving the nation.

In recent weeks the debate over the future of public education in America has flared up again, this time with the publication of the new book "Class Warfare," by Steven Brill, the founder of American Lawyer magazine. Brill's advocacy of "reform" has sparked different strands of criticism from the New York Times , New York University's Diane Ravitch and the Nation's Dana Goldstein .

Iowa returns to Kinnick Stadium for final non-conference games
PK Mike Meyer is 6-6 in field goal attempts through two games.
Iowa (1-1) returns home for the first of two straight non-conference home games, hosting Pittsburgh (2-0) Saturday in Kinnick Stadium (70,585). Game time is 11:01 a.m. CT. A limited number of tickets remain. Iowa opened the season with a 34-7 win over Tennessee Tech in Iowa City before dropping a 44-41 triple overtime contest at Iowa State.

Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co., the world’s biggest maker of game players, will add functions to its 3DS and target women to spur demand, after sales of the device slumped and led the company to slash its profit forecast to a 26-year low.
The upgrades will include a feature to allow users to record movies in 3-D, President Satoru Iwata said at a briefing in Tokyo today. The Kyoto-based company also plans to unveil a pink version of the product next month to attract female customers and introduce a tennis game next year starring Nintendo’s flagship character Mario, he said.

Here are some Big East news and notes off the weekly coaches teleconference today:
Coach Butch Jones has no regrets about going for it on two fourth-and-shorts in the first half against Tennessee. The Bearcats failed to convert both times, and that seemed to swing momentum. “We liked the play we had both times called," Jones said. "We just didn’t execute it. If we don’t go for it, everyone’s calling in saying, ‘Well you didn’t believe in your team.’ If I had to do it all over again we’d do it all over again. We’re going to play to win the football game. We need to make and convert on fourth-and-inches." Dominique Battle got the start at cornerback instead of Deven Drane based on his week of practice, but the starting job is up for grabs again this week. "Whoever has the best week of preparation will be the starter," Jones said. Connecticut

Watch the complete episode below.
In yet another display of government inefficiency, government officials in Bethesda, Maryland, located just outside of Washington, D.C., have decided to spend $4 million to house 12 homeless people for a single year. That averages out to approximately $330,000 per person, a figure that grows even more absurd when one observes that the average price of a single family home in the United States is just over $170,000.
This week's polls have been released. Here's how the Big East fared, from the top of the polls to its bottom, and what it means.
West Virginia (AP:18/Coaches: 20) - The Mountaineers got a quick scare from Norfolk State when they trailed 12-10 at the half, but quarterback Geno Smith got the offense clicking in the third quarter and West Virginia pulled away with a 55-12 win. But things will not get any easier for Dana Holgorsen's squad in the next weeks with a road game at Maryland on Saturday and then a visit from No. 3 LSU on Sept. 24.

Carol Bartz's run as Yahoo CEO ended unceremoniously last week with a cellphone call. But now the spotlight turns to the guy on the other end of the line, Yahoo's chairman -- and former adman -- Roy Bostock.

' most successful starting pitcher is likely to spend the postseason in the bullpen. That is a tribute to the depth of a rotation topped by Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee , and certainly no knock on the amazing season turned in by rookie right-hander Vance Worley .
Worley had as many big league starts coming into the season — two — as Halladay had Cy Young Awards , which is one reason he started the year in the minors. But when Joe Blanton went on the disabled list with elbow problems in late April, Worley was rushed to the majors, where he shut out the New York Mets on two hits over six innings in his season debut.
We get that the Vanimal, Vance Worley, is a rookie. Still, an 11-1 record with a 2.85 ERA is worth at least getting a little love from ESPN, specifically the network’s mobile app. Take a look at this screengrab from TDP’s iPhone this morning.
That’s right, the Rookie of the Year candidate doesn’t even get a picture on the preview page. What’s up with that? The guy has picked up the slack created by injuries to Joe Blanton and Roy Oswalt. He’s pitched so well on a staff that includes Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels that he’s been brought up in the conversation as the possible fourth man in the playoff rotation.

I lived 100 miles south of New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 just outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The town I lived in is called Absecon and is only six miles from a Military Aviation Complex which protects the East Coast from attack called NAFEC.
September 11, 2001 was a beautiful day on the East Coast and started like any other day. I was cooking breakfast when I turned on the T.V. and saw that first tower had been hit by a plane. My first response was shock, but not alarm, because it looked like it may have been an accident. But within minutes after turning on the television the second plane hit and I knew that we were under attack.

Kelly Kavanaugh touched in a restart in the 44th minute to send West Morris to a 3-1 victory over Mount Olive yesterday in Long Valley.
Julie Shields flicked a feed with her head that Megan Monaco converted into a goal in the 10th minute for West Morris (1-0). Less than four minutes into the second half, Kavanaugh finished a restart by Kristy Cotter, as Cotter served a 40-yarder that Kavanaugh redirected into the far corner for a 2-0 cushion. Alison Schroeder pared the deficit in half for Mount Olive (0-1) when she scored on a 20-yard restart. Jessica Angle added a goal for West Morris.

In fact, one reason some couples choose not to marry is because one of them has financial difficulties or is not financially secure. Once the couple marries, those problems can be both their problems. Therefore, it often makes sense to stay unmarried until everyone is financially prepared to begin a legal relationship.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Alabama center William Vlachos saw the Power Ranger-like uniforms Georgia wore against Boise State in Atlanta last week.
He saw the jerseys Maryland wore against Miami on Monday night, which resembled the silks worn by a Preakness jockey as much as a football uniform.
The No. 3 Crimson Tide don't run a spread offense, which has become all the rage in college football, and they show up every Saturday wearing the same simple, traditional uniforms they've worn for the last 50 years.
More than 2,000 runners crawled, slipped, slid and jumped through piles and puddles of mud Saturday morning as part of the Murrieta Mud Run, the first of what organizers plan to make an annual event.
The runners found themselves covered in mud from head to toe as they crossed the finish line, with a fire truck standing by to hose them down.
As this day began the weather reporter announced that there was a possibility of 103 degree weather today. It is already warm at 6 a.m. but not at the sweltering point. Such a warning makes Red Bluffians aware of the need to either be cooled by today's air conditioners or to relax in the shade of trees or the old time covered porch. When my parents and my brother and I arrived as children in Red Bluff, the stifling heat of Tehama County hit my mother like a huge stone. I believe she stated to my father, "Where in the world have you taken me and our children?" I believe she had further words she wanted to say in regard to the burning heat but she didn't want her children to hear such words.

Raymond James is the official investment services and financial planning provider of theTampa Bay Buccaneers. Raymond James Stadium , also known as the "Ray Jay," is actually a multipurpose football stadium which means it is used for other events aside from just the Bucs games. It is home to the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as the NCAA's South Florida Bulls football team but concerts, high school football and other events are held here. It is also the only NFL stadium I've ever been to, although I am a lifelong football fan.
SARASOTA — People stood elbow-to-elbow inside Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and lined St. Armands Circle to get a glimpse of President Bush as he arrived shortly before 6 p.m. on Sept. 10, 2001.
Bush waved several times and posed for photographs with a small line of greeters before getting into a limousine with his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Jaso made Maddon's move pay off, playing a huge role in the Rays' 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. He hit a three-run homer in the second inning to start the scoring, threw out 2B Dustin Pedroia on a momentum-swinging strikeout, then knocked RHP John Lackey out of the game after hitting him in the left calf on a line drive in the third.
The following notices have been submitted for publication in the Saturday edition of the San Angelo Standard-Times.

lockout is continuing to rear its ugly head, slowly diminishing hope of fans and players getting a full season.
The offseason is supposed to be a time of free-agency signings, player acquisitions and athlete development, yet instead we are forced to endure grueling labor negotiations that attempt to hide the fact this issue all boils down to dollars and cents.
Perhaps you have heard of an organizational expert named David Allen. Over the years, Allen has helped many people organize their time, their tasks and — perhaps most important — their email inboxes with a method he calls, "Getting Things Done," or GTD, for short.
GTD followers are many and passionate. They fastidiously create folders and labels — both physical and digital — in dozens of categories, then file every piece of information promptly. Allen's book "Getting Things Done" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and people pay hundreds of dollars to hear him speak.
The Tribe offense has been a feast or famine group all season, but that fact seems to have intensified. Lately, it lays dormant most innings, looking like some version of Akron Aeros North. Then, all of a sudden, it erupts for a big inning. That’s what happened last night as the Indians chased Chicago lefty Mark Buerhle from the game in a five-run sixth inning on their way to a 8-4 victory to get them back to .500 at 71-71 on the season.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The Maine Republican Party says 19 people who registered to vote on Election Day 2004 used a Holiday Inn Express in South Portland as their home address.
But a newspaper is reporting the 19 were American medical students who were "permanent guests" because their school on Grand Cayman Island was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The hotel manager told the Sun Journal (http://www.sunjournal.com/state/story/1085801 ) that the students were sent to Maine to continue their studies while their school was under repair.

SPRINGFIELD -- Lawmakers who will play pivotal roles in setting up Illinois’ health-benefits exchange — an entity designed to make health insurance more affordable for consumers and small businesses — are among the top recipients of cash from the insurance industry.
One consumer group says campaign contributions make it likely the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange Legislative Study Committee will issue recommendations later this month that benefit the insurance industry at the expense of consumers.

The screening is set for 2 p.m. Sunday in Brookens Auditorium, on the campus of the University of Illinois Springfield.
What do you write about when something terrible has happened and uncertainty about the future is thick in the air?
Hard to say. But three days after the terrorist attacks on America 10 years ago, some people decided to come together for a prayer service at the statue of Abraham Lincoln on the lawn of the Illinois Statehouse. In my role as columnist, I went to watch and perhaps to talk to people.

Kevin McDermott, Sangamon County public administrator, asked Circuit Judge Pete Cavanagh for another 30 days to resolve the matter without going to a hearing. The judge agreed, setting the next court date for Oct. 7.
I'd like our elected officials look at all the obstacles that new businesses face to open either new business or expand. I believe that we are over-regulating business and that many requiremements should be eliminated. Let's put the "Missouri Show Me" belief to work and require our state agencies show how and why their regulations are needed. If they can't show need, eliminate it.
