'Top Model' quitter Ebony Morgan: I was so over the whole reality ...
"I just did not want to be there anymore. I really didn't have a desire for it. At that point, I didn't really care about being America's Next Top Model," Morgan told reporters during a Thursday conference call. "I didn't really care half as much as the other girls did, so I didn't think it would be fair for me to stay there if I really didn't care for it as much... I just realized that wasn't my passion and I was so over the whole reality show thing." The 20-year-old Chicago, IL nursing student's decision to quit Top Model 9 had also apparently been on her mind for quite some time. .
State’s Suhey gives CM girls trouble
Suhey also recorded a double-double, adding 14 rebounds to go with her 34 points. Meanwhile, Central Mountain received an outstanding performance from Mallory Moore who tossed in 23 points and Emily Williams 13. As a team, the Lady Wildcats canned 20-of-50 shots for a decent 40 percent. “We struggle when we don't shoot well," Gentzel explained. “But we did show a lot of fight. There was no excuses, but I will admit five games made it one tough week. The challenge was to play our game, and the kids responded well. They fought hard, and now it's time to rest and get healthy for the playoffs. That's big because Brandt has had the flu, but (tonight) she sucked it up and I was pleased with her effort. It's the same with the rest of the team. Now we can rest up for a couple of days before we have to prepare for the same teams and watch some film and see what we have to do." Central Mountain won the battle of the boards 37-34, with Lauren Dwyer and Courtney Walsh grabbing 10 caroms each while Suhey's 14 rebounds paced the Lady Little Lions.

Smith: Nothin' but (Inter)Net
I think I fit well," he said. "It's the Dwyane-Shaq type of team. You've got a post-up guy and a pick-and-roll guy." T.J. Ford and Chris Bosh as Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal? A stretch to be sure. The two Raptors haven't won a playoff series yet, let alone an NBA championship. And we're not even going to talk about marketing and fame. But Kapono does bring up an interesting point. As a shooter, he played in Miami with two of the very best at giving him space to operate and that's what he hopes will happen with his new team. "There's lot of high pick and rolls, Jose (Calderon) and T.J. can get those; Chris is more of a face-up guy (than Shaq) but it's the same thing, it's all about spacing. "You have to understand how to create space, let a guy make a move, and ...
Oil price tops $99 in Asia
Heating fuel demand is expected to rise as the northern hemisphere winter kicks in next month, while energy appetite from emerging markets such as China and India shows no sign of slowing, dealers said. Katie Dean, a senior economist with Australia's ANZ bank in Melbourne, said 100-dollar oil would have a major psychological impact. "The psychological impact is very significant... we are going to have to get used to oil being at elevated levels," Dean told AFP. Crude prices topped 50 dollars in 2004 amid tensions caused by the Iraq war. They climbed above 70 dollars in August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, damaging major offshore oil installations. Despite pressure from the United States, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) opted not to raise production following a rare summit in Riyadh this month.
