| Carlton Cole feeds off Man City energy loss
West Ham was where Sven-Goran Eriksson's return to English football began. It started, without expectations, in the sunshine and finished with an improbable win for a side said to have been assembled from watching video clips.

Vols Ready For Leap
The gigantic boulder on which Tennessee students have been painting birthday messages and praise for Volunteer victories since the 1960s bore only that number painted in orange against a black backdrop on Sunday morning.
It's the ranking the No. 2 Volunteers likely will ascend to today on the heels of their 66-62 victory over top-ranked Memphis on Saturday night, their first victory over a No. 1 opponent since 1969.

IHRO: cops used excessive force
We also strongly condemn the district police administration that registered a criminal case (FIR) against the agitators, including girl students." IHRO chairperson D. S. Gill told the media here today that this was the findings of its investigation team comprising M. S. Grewal (general secretary), Inderjit Kaur (secretary- women's affairs) and advocate Sukhdev Singh Ramgarh Sibian. The three-member team, he said, met the agitating students, especially the girl students who were victims of the ferocious attack by the police to appease Capt Amarinder Singh, who later realising that the police was wrong had ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident. According to preliminary investigation by the IHRO, the main culprit seemed to be the SHO, Sarabha Nagar police station, Mr Sandeep Kumar Wadhera, said Mr Gill, adding that there were, however, no case of molestation as had been reported in a section of the media.
Dorsey's double-double leads Tigers over UCF
With every move a University of Memphis player or coach makes, from now until this white-hot spotlight of a No. 1 ranking shines on some other corner of the college basketball universe, scrutiny does not follow far behind. It is the inescapable, inconvenient reality of having a team so talented; a daily struggle to achieve the perfection their record and their national profile demands. For the first time this season, that perfection was challenged in a way nobody around the program saw coming. Robert Dozier, always thought of as the most solid citizen in the Tigers' locker room, was suspended for breaking the team's curfew, proving again how fragile reputations can be when the stakes are this high. .
Combo workstation-treadmill makes for bouncy workday while burning ...
If you're scarfing down candy while stuck at your desk, consider the Walkstation, a combination desktop/treadmill that lets you work and work out at the same time.The idea behind it is that a little movement over long periods of time can improve health and maybe trim weight. The target: Any sedentary worker who can walk and chew gum. The goal: typing, talking on the phone, or having a meeting while strolling at a very slow rate. I took a three-hour stroll on the Walkstation. The verdict: My office could forgo every cake and pizza event for a year, pool the money we would have spent and buy a Walkstation. We'd all be happier. .

MTB News and Notes: A conversation with Greg Minnaar; New power at ...
Minnaar still managed to give a post-race interview, despite the pain. Then, in the off-season, Minnaar learned that Honda was ending its sponsorship of the G Cross-Honda team, the squad Minnaar has led since 2005. Minnaar's understudy, teammate Matti Lehikoinen, inked a deal to lead Intense Cycle's team, but Minnaar remained without a team through much of the fall. Salvation came from the California-based Santa Cruz Syndicate team — for 2008, Minnaar will ride alongside the hard charging, hard drinking duo of Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie. VeloNews caught Minnaar on the phone as he was heading into a house party near his home in Pietermaritzburg. .
