Many moons have passed since the fairer sex was granted admittance into intelligentsia circles.  Once relegated solely to the realms of household drudgery, craft and the timeless art of arm candy, women today have shown themselves to be a force of words and wit within the literary world.  And while I concede (and thus, likewise, cringe) that we females are indeed responsible for some of the most saccharine paperbacks known to publishing, the woman writer also has a great capability to add a level of depth to her work that echoes in fathoms unexplored by the male psyche. 

For the last couple of weeks various Kentucky basketball players have made their way to Mall St. Matthews’ Cardboard Heroes for signings. Today, the sports shop welcomes Louisville stars, Kyle Kuric and Chris Smith.  The event is set to begin at 2 and conclude at 4.

Active U of L NBA-ers:

• Earl Clark- The stretch forward for the Orlando Magic has been laboring on the court this week. Clark received a DNP-coaches decision yesterday in a 117-107 overtime loss to Utah after a poor performance prior. Earl was scoreless against the Celtics Wednesday in another Magic loss. On a brighter note, E5 did have a double-double with 14 points & 10 rebounds in a 113-100 win over the 76ers on Monday. Earl is the only former Cardinal headed to the NBA playoffs. Clark is averaging 2.5ppg  and 2.7rpg on the season.
