Convicted rapist, lawyer plan appeal
The Daily Collegian writes:
Less then two hours after a judge sentenced Brian Conway to three to six years in prison for the 2005 rape of a Penn State student, the 22-year-old had a new lawyer and was well on his way to requesting a new trial.

Crowd Noise? Don't know Nothing about That.
Apparently, professional sports teams will find anyway to gain the upperhand on the competition. During Sundays game between the Colts and the Patriots, it seemed louder than normal on the field. Too many fans? Maybe. Good acoustics? Maybe. Or maybe the Colts were increasing the noise with prerecorded crowd noise pumped through the stadium speakers. Reports from the field said that it was extremely hard to hear during the Patriots offensive drives. Also important are the numerous pass interference calls against the patriots. Considering that the Patriots were scoring on average at least 35 points per game previous to the Colts, it was no small shock that they were held to only 24 points as well as the fact that they did not score on their opening drive. After surviving the Spycam controversy the Patriots are on the lookout for illegal practices in all their games it seems. With the reputation of professional sports on the line, the sportsmanship of each team will be tested. But will a team go so far as to hurt their own performance in order to stay true to the game? Probably not. Apparently, professional sports teams will find anyway to gain the upperhand on the competition. During Sundays game between the Colts... more

Do Not Call List-Not Permanent?
Ever had that phone call at 5:05 when your Lean Cuisine Noodle dish is ready to be devoured? A quick voice answers your irritated hello with "interested in a new Credit Card?" Sometimes you want to reach through the phone line, dinner fork in hand, and strangle the telemarketer with the phone cord (damn..wireless phones). Well all your problems are solved because hey, the Do Not Call List is now....Permanent? Hold on, your saying that all those times I said "put me on the Do Not Call List" were only temporary? Are you %^&#$@ kidding me? So all I was doing was prolonging my peaceful Ramen noodle soup until five years later? Hello are you interested in a piece of my mind? And believe me I hold nothing against someone who works as a telemarter. What irks me is that these companies have the audacity to call me again after I have expressed my distaste for their useless product. If your company has so little money for advertising that it reverts to ripping pages out of the phone book for numbers then the telemarketers are better off using two cups and a spool of thread to talk to people. But on the bright side, the list is now permanent so really you shouldn't have to worry about your love affair with Hotpockets being interrupted. Too bad, you'll have to find someone else to exorcise your pent up agression on from past dinnertime experiences. What about those companies? "Hi I'd like to interest you in a little product called the death loan. you loan me money and I pay it back when...
