| Walls added to MU injury list
That's because freshman shooting guard Matt Walls has joined Darryl Merthie and Jean Francois Bro Grebe on the disabled list with a broken right hand. As a result, Marshall (12-10, 4-5 Conference USA) will have only 10 players available when it takes on SMU (8-13, 2-6) at 8:05 p.m. today at Moody Coliseum in Dallas. What's worse, those 10 "healthy" players include forward Markel Humphrey, who still isn't practicing due to a stress fracture in his right heel; guard Taurean Marshall, who is playing with a slightly-torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee; and walk-on freshman forward Bruce Senior, who has played a total of 10 minutes in only four appearances. So, the Herd does indeed have its back to the Walls. The mind-boggling part is Walls actually was standing on the court in the Henderson Center chatting with MU Coach Donnie Jones and Fork Union Military Academy assistant Gary Hines about an hour after Marshall's 83-49 win over East Carolina Saturday and appeared to be fine.
Tucson-Phoenix rail line requires bold planning, latest technology
Think of this, Tucsonans. Drive, walk or bicycle a few miles or less from home and park your car or put your bike in a secure locker. A few hundred feet away, insert your electronic fare card at a turnstile and board a sleek, new light-rail train that whisks you to your destination in Tucson, or to the high-speed rail terminal next to Interstate-10 on the near-Northwest Side. .
The Di Blasi trike: A different kind of green tech hybrid
Last year about this time, I brought my neglected 15-year-old GT mountain bike down to a local repair shop for some much-needed TLC. After spurning all sales pitches to invest in a new one, I then dropped nearly as much moolah to get my faithful ride street-legal. And there it sits, tires going flat in the garage. Chalk it up to the hills in my New Jersey town, which are a little bit too intense for my desk-job thighs. New Year's Resolution #1 … So, what to do for quick trips into town? Oh, for the old moped I used to share with my brothers in high school. Actually, scratch that. I don't even want to know how fuel-inefficient it was. Today, there are so many more interesting options available to folks like me who are trying to avoid taking the car out except when necessary for longer treks.
After 3 wins, Obama wins Maine, too
A Democrat victory in November's U.S. presidential race may well create a world-wide economic downturn that will make the current (healthy) downturn seem like a walk in the park. The short-term solution is to elect U.S. leaders who understand the importance of free-market capitalism. The long-term solution is to teach economics in government-run schools to create a population of voters who are able to intelligently evaluate the claims and promises of candidates who claim that government actions can regulate economic swings. We teach physical and biological sciences, but the "dismal science" is totally neglected. .

Hope you enjoy the show
Late February means early spring in western Colorado, in spite of the calendar lagging a couple weeks behind. Spring brings Spring Break (breakaway?) for many valley residents but even more important for those of who watch the skies, it’s migration. In particular, we’re keyed to the passing of sandhill cranes on their way north to summer nesting and breeding grounds. While there’s hardly an easier way than to simply stake out a seat in the backyard and look up, two festivals offer up-close and personal looks at sandhill cranes and bits of education as well. The most local of the festivals is the Eckert Crane Festival, this year scheduled for two Saturdays, March 15 and 22. The event is co-sponsored by Surface Creek Winery and Gallery in Eckert and the Black Canyon Chapter of the Audubon Society.
