Board to vote on Plus/Minus grading

The NKU Board of Regents is expected to vote on the proposed Plus/Minus grading policy within the next few hours.

Randolph Morris's return just wasn't enough. Kentucky Kernal. Jerry Tipton (Herald-Leader). Jerry Brewer (Courier-Journal). Pat Forde (ESPN).

Forde said it the best and so did senior walk-on Ravi Moss. Moss really stepped up last night with his 4 three's in the second half.
"We're just immature," said guard Ravi Moss, the only Wildcat who could shoot straight all night, scoring 16 points. "We're not serious-minded. We need to concentrate on being serious about basketball. We're taking everyone's best shot and we're not punching back...It's time for us to start listening."

They won't like what they hear -- namely, widespread outrage in the commonwealth. A night that began with the crowd of 23,643 giving a standing ovation to prodigal center Randolph Morris when he pulled off his warm-ups and reported to the scorer's table ended with a fan yelling at the players as they walked off the court -- and other fans yelling at the fan who yelled at the players.

The crisis is officially full-blown in Big Blue Nation. Randolph to the Rescue is only a start on fixing a flawed powerhouse.
Of the underclassmen, no one should go pro this summer. If the Cats can't win, they need to work on playing as a team. Rondo is one of the best guards in the nation. We have to run the rest of the conference or this team might only be playing in the NIT instead of the NCAA tournament come March. We have a highly athletic team but they need to start playing seriously. The conference tournament is in two months. Start acting mature and win!

Mark Warner, the outgoing Governor of Virginia, will deliver his final State of the Commonwealth.

Second City's Touring Company was spotted in Idaho. Authorities are expecting an epidemic of laughter for those attending the show.

Fred Armisen talks to the A.V. Club.
AVC: What's the day-to-day like at SNL?

FA: It's like a 24-hour schedule. We come in on Monday, and all the writers and performers sit in this office and pitch our ideas to Lorne [Michaels] and the host. Then Monday night, we write a little bit. Then on Tuesday, we all write all day and all night, through 6 in the morning, 8 in the morning. Write, write, write, write. Wednesday, around 2 in the afternoon, we have a table-read with all the scripts, everything everyone's written, with the host right there. We go through it all. And that lasts 'til 8 o'clock at night or something. And from that, they choose which sketches they're gonna do. And, Thursday rehearse, Friday rehearse, Saturday dress-rehearsal. Then the show. The whole time, you're rewriting and rehearsing, rewriting and rehearsing. So it's really intensive work, but really good work, because nothing is set in stone. Every day, things change as to what's funny and what's not funny. You just have to be thinking all the time.
Take care.
