MARK YOUR CALENDARS
The first mark of my season basketball calendar begins with EKU. I can’t guarantee that it will be the first game of the season but surely one of the first of the 2012-2013 UL women’s basketball games will be on November 28, 2012 when we will host EKU at the YUM arena.
TITLE IX
Once again as a part of the 40th anniversary celebration of Title IX another documentary will debut on June 23, 2012. A video with the subheadline , The“Sporting Chance” celebrates the laws anniversary. “The NCAA, in conjunction with ESPN and Creative Street Entertainment, will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX and recognize individuals who helped shape the ground-breaking equity law with the documentary premiere Sporting Chance presented by Northwestern Mutual. The documentary will debut on ESPN2 at noon ET June 23, the anniversary date of Title IX.”
Details and the complete article can be found at http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-women/article/2012-06-11/title-ix-documentary-debuts-june-23. The promotional webpage http://www.sportingchancetitleix.com/ states that “Opportunity is just the beginning” where “ Through personal narratives and historical perspective, this is the story told in Sporting Chance.”
Whatever your personal opinion of the law might be; as someone who grew up in the atmosphere where in high school the gym became available to the girls basketball team only after late into the evening when the pee-wee leagues were finished or at 6 in the morning before anyone else wanted it – I promise you that the progress we have seen to date would still be many years into the future.

Moody's downgrades KFC Yum! Center bonds to junk status. See
The bonds issued to build the KFC Yum! Center are now classified as “junk” status by Moody’s Investors Service – goes to show why investor services and others in similar businesses have such a good historical track record of telling others how to invest their money. NOT!
