MORGANTOWN - Before we begin crawling to the defense of the Big East - we won't rush there but yes, we will crawl - let's get the bad news out of the way and be brutally fair and honest in doing so. The NCAA tournament has not been kind to the league. And yes, the league has been a disappointment to the NCAA tournament, which lavished it with 11 bids.
When the Boston Red Sox last put out a dominating batting lineup, they won the American League East and marched their way to a World Series title in 2007. Since then, the Tampa Bay Rays have won the division twice and the New York Yankees once.
When I lived in Moscow during the Cold War, a popular joke had an American in Red Square talking to a Russian acquaintance. America was a great country, he said, because he was free to stand in front of the White House with a sign saying that Ronald Reagan was an idiot. The Russian, who was unimpressed, pointed out that he was free to stand on Red Square with a sign saying that Ronald Reagan was an idiot. I thought of this joke when I heard that the respected firm Zogby International had polled 4,000 Arabs in six Middle Eastern countries (Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) this year and found that America's popularity in the region has nosedived two years after President Obama's speech in Cairo.

Shortly before Jim's Place East closed, co-owner Costa Taras said he was going to miss looking at the azaleas in bloom each spring. The pain is surely mitigated by looking at the hordes of people crowding the new location at Poplar and Perkins Ext.
In the 1930s, there was a little airport in Riverside called the East Dayton Airport. It sat near the present day intersection of Woodman Drive and Airway Road. The small airstrip was abandoned in 1941, and forgotten by many. But, not by the folks at the Riverside Historical Society Museum in the Airway shopping center. They have a ring-binder containing pictures and maps of the East Dayton Airport. The museum includes military displays, information about Riverside families including Norman Weiffenbaugh, an early mayor of Riverside and the father of Virginia Kettering, photographs of historic sites and a propeller.
Winde Nnochirionye, the new executive director of CRUCIAL Human Service Center, said she plans to "continue in the spirit the center was established. Things are where they need to be in terms of the children, the after-school programs, the programs that are available," she said of CRUCIAL, at 230 Moselle St., which serves 300 to 500 people each month in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods, providing programs for young people and senior citizens.
In the 1930s, there was a little airport in Riverside called the East Dayton Airport. It sat near the present-day intersection of Woodman Drive and Airway Road, in the shadow of the larger Wright Air Field. The small airstrip was abandoned in 1941, and forgotten by many. But not by the folks at the Riverside Historical Society Museum in the Airway shopping center. They have a binder containing pictures and maps of the East Dayton Airport. The museum includes military displays, information about Riverside families, including Norman Weiffenbaugh, an early mayor of Riverside and the father of Virginia Kettering, a typewriter, photographs of historic sites, a propeller, plus other artifacts.
