| Fans Say UAlbany's Brian Lillis is AE Player of the Year..
Lillis, a 6-foot-5 senior from Urbandale, Iowa, leads the Great Danes in scoring (15.8 ppg), rebounding (6.1 pg), assists (3.5 pg), steals (1.7 pg) and blocked shots (0.7 pg). He is one of 10 players at the Division I level to lead his team in points, rebounds and assists. Lillis, who ranks among the league leaders in six statistical categories, has scored 20-plus points five times and recorded five double-doubles. “This award shows the respect that people have for Brian Lillis as a student-athlete," said UAlbany coach Will Brown, whose team tied for second place in the conference's regular-season standings. “He is one of the most popular players we have had here. He is the MVP of our conference because he means so much to our team. Brian should be proud of this award." The Fans' Choice award included voting in the preliminary round and finals, with those votes added together to determine the winner. Vermont's Mike Trimboli won the inaugural award in 2006-07.
Getting entrepreneurial in 2008
For the past several years, I've run a consulting and market research practice called Enterprise Insight, where I've focused on CIOs and understanding their key business issues. I've spent lots of time meeting with CIOs, designing and moderating CIO thought leadership events and panels, and generally trying to get "inside the mind of the CIO." I help CIOs network with each other and share insights, and help the technology community understand what's driving CIOs' decisions. So if you need someone to fly to Vegas and tell your salespeople what CIOs really care about, give me a call. My second venture is very different, but equally energizing. It's a new Web site on antiques and collecting, which have been a passion of mine for several years. The goal of the site, CollectorsWeekly.com, is to be a showcase for " the best of antiques and collecting," a place where you can browse great antiques and collectibles in hundreds of categories and learn about them.
Internet firm cuts racist's Web site
An Internet service company has pulled the plug on its most controversial customer, a Roanoke white supremacist who used his Web site to suggest that six black youths be lynched. Global Web Solutions cut off service to William A. White on Sunday, after receiving complaints about White's online commentary on the so-called Jena Six case in Louisiana, company owner Randy Armbrecht said Wednesday. White has since restored the Web site, although not all of the previous links have been updated. In a posting last week, White published the names and addresses of six black youths charged with assaulting a white classmate in Jena, La., along with the words: "Lynch the Jena 6." The FBI is investigating whether that broke any laws -- a decision that Armbrecht said he has already made.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Ohmigod! Social networkers just can't take it any more! Posted in: General Social networking Guest post: Chris Matyszczyk parses the latest numbers from ComScore on social network activity. While looking for something that amused me and stopped me from replying to the likeness quiz invitation (and seventy others) from lonely Japanese friends on Facebook, I stumbled upon some numbers from ComScore via Creative Capital. They seem to suggest that social networking might have suffered something of a peak. Since October, MySpace seems to have lost 3 million unique visitors. And while Facebook's numbers still appear to be going up, they're creeping rather than leaping.
We are looking for voluntary translators from Arabic into English.
In a calculated effort to vilify Islam and generate support for further US military aggressions against Muslim countries, Horowitz is proclaiming an "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week" on dozens of American college campuses starting Oct. 22.
The very term "Islamo-fascism" is obviously very tendentious and scandalously inaccurate. In fact, one could argue with absolute certitude that the term is an inherent and eternal oxymoron, since Islam represents the ideological antithesis of fascism, a western concept based on authoritarianism, chauvinism, jingoism, bellicosity and militarism.
The Quran proclaims that " O Mankind, We (God) Created you from a single pair of male and female and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know (cooperate with) each other.
Who Has What It Takes to Be Commander-in-Chief?
The presumed recipient of highly compartmented briefings profiling our most secret intelligence, Clinton is far too gifted to have misunderstood that we are at a historical tipping point where victory or a particularly bloody and ignominious defeat looms as an equal possibility. But does she display unblinking courage, telling us which difficult course we should choose and her candid judgment about the consequences for the nation if we do? While she talks a good game about such verities as caring for wounded soldiers and their families, these are easy touchdowns. More fundamentally, Clinton has tied her presidential ambitions to the defeatist MoveOn.org wing of her party. Any flag officer contemplating the prospect of serving under her command can do so only after recalling the icy contempt with which she sneered that the Senate testimony of Gen.
Pac-10 Notebook: Beavers face punishment
EXTRA CREDIT: While dumb and dumber best describes Oregon State's recent actions, no one is questioning the intelligence level of the Oregon basketball team, which has a current graduation rate way off the charts. Three senior starters, forwards Malik Hairston and Maarty Leunen and guard Bryce Taylor, received their diplomas last summer -- a full year ahead of schedule. Reserves Mitch Platt and Ray Schaefer joined them as fifth-year seniors graduating on time. Add to that junior forward Churchill Odia, who will complete his college requirements at the end of the current winter quarter. "No one else in the country has got that," coach Ernie Kent said, referring to the five college grads on the active roster. "We have great seniors. We have great parents. We told them when they came in this would help their NBA careers." Kent wasn't giving them an idle sales pitch about receiving a fast-track education while maintaining pro basketball possibilities.
Wars Dwarf Warming in US Budget
I strongly support the preservation of hydrocarbon polymers (oil)for polymerization, not to burn in vehicles! We need oil for synthetics of all sorts and yet we destroy this unreplaceable resource for energy. This is truly stupid. Believing this does not mean I have to believe whatever I am told. I can still think. .
