The Wolverines gave him too much room. They all but begged Evan Turner to win the game for Ohio State in the final seconds, allowing one of the best overall players in the league get his hands on the basketball with just 2.1 seconds left in the game.

Turner was more than happy to oblige, nailing a miraculous three-pointer to win the quaterfinal game for Ohio State.

"The whole game, they were swarming me. They gave me one good look," Turner said after the game. One good look is all he really needed, making the basket from about 37 feet out.

"I always had the confidence it was going to go in," added Turner. "If I'm going to try to make a play, they don't go in without confidence."

New Ford Police Interceptor Is Ultimate Cop Car

Chris Monty — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:14:43 +0000

On Friday, Ford Motor Company unveiled its brand new Ford Police Interceptor, the replacement for the good ol' Crown Victoria.

The vehicle will be based on the same platform as the new Ford Taurus. Ford Americas President Mark Fields promised it would be superior to its predecessor in every possible way, even going so far as to call it "the ultimate police vehicle."

"Police nationwide asked for a new kind of weapon in the battle for public safety, and Ford is answering the call with a purpose-built vehicle -- engineered and built in America -- that's as dynamic as it is durable," he said. "Ford remains committed to leading the police vehicle market, and our new Police Interceptor demonstrates how much engineering and innovation we're willing to invest to address the unique needs of those who protect and serve communities throughout America."

The new vehicle is to be built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant.

The car should deliver up to 25 percent better fuel economy than the Crown Vic, thanks to two new engine offerings:

• A 3.5-liter V-6 engine delivering at least 263 horsepower and E85 compatibility.

• A 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 twin-turbocharged, direct-injection engine will deliver at least 365 horsepower and 350 ft.-lb. of torque.

The new Ford Police Interceptor will feature a six-speed automatic transmission. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions will be available.

Korean Man Marries His Pillow (VIDEO)

Chris Monty — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:56:01 +0000

Lee Jin-gyu fell in love with his "dakimakura" - a large pillow from Japan with a picture of a popular anime character printed on it. In fact, he loved it so much, he married it.

Lee's pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. He married the pillow in a special ceremony, after putting it in a wedding dress for a service with a local priest.

"He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere," said one of his friends.

"They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal," the friend added.

This is not the first usual marriage like this we've seen in recent months. You may recall that a Japanese man married his virtual girlfriend, Nene Anegasaki, a character who only exists in the Nintendo DS game "Love Plus", last year.

American Idol Top 12 Season 9 Results

Chris Monty — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:00:09 +0000

American Idol revealed the Top 12 for Season 9 last night, after sending four more contestants home.

The elimination round was somewhat surprising, in my opinion.

Last night’s Top 16 elimination round saw contestants Katelyn Epperly, Todrick Hall, Alex Lambert, and Lilly Scott head home. Nothing too surprising about Todrick and Katelyn going home, but the eliminations of Alex and Lilly surprised me a little, not that they would have won anyway I suppose

The final 12 will perform next week singing the songs of The Rolling Stones.

Merlin Olsen Dead at 69

Chris Monty — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:33:43 +0000

Merlin Olsen, who was inducted into both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame, died on Thursday morning at 69 years of age.

Olsen had been diagnosed with mesothelioma last year and had been undergoing chemotherapy.

Olsen was inducted in the NFL's Hall of Fame in Canton, OH after a career spanning 15 years as a defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams. He was part of the infamous "Fearsome Foursome" and also got 14 consecutive Pro Bowl nods in his first 14 seasons. He had been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1982.

In 1994, Olsen was elected to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, along with defensive tackles "Mean" Joe Greene and Bob Lilly.

Olsen also belongs to the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 1980. In December, Utah State named its field at Romney Stadium in Olsen's honor.

After football, Olsen worked on TV as a color commentator for NBC. He also had roles on Little House on the Prairie and Father Murphy.

School Prom Cancelled after Lesbian’s Date Request Gets ACLU Support

Chris Monty — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:52:20 +0000

A school district in Mississippi won't be holding a high school prom this year after a gay female student asked to show up with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

The board of the Itawamba County school district opted on Wednesday to cancel the prom due to what it called "recent distractions," but didn't mention the girl's request, which has gotten support from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The student in question, Constance McMillen, 18, says the cancellation was retaliation for her efforts to bring her girlfriend, who is also a student, to the dance.

"A bunch of kids at school are really going to hate me for this, so in a way it's really retaliation," McMillen said.

The school's policy states that senior prom dates must be of the opposite sex. The ACLU of Mississippi had given the district until Wednesday to change that policy, saying that prohibiting same-sex prom dates violated McMillen's constitutional rights.

The school board instead opted to issue a statement announcing it would not host the annual event at Itawamba County Agricultural High School in Fulton, "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events."

The ACLU said McMillen went to school officials shortly before the memo went out because she knew same-sex dates had been banned previously. The ACLU said officials told McMillen that she and her date would not be permitted to arrive together, that she couldn't wear a tux, and that she and her girlfriend might be asked to leave if their presence made students "uncomfortable."

McMillen said she was afraid she might be ejected fromthe prom because "we do live in the Bible Belt."
