South

Sudanese refugees across the world stood in line to vote on the Sudanese referendum Jan. 9. Results from the election show that a large majority of South Sudanese voted to split from the North, which will allow for the formation of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, when the Comprehensive Peace Act expires.

In the wake of Super Bowl XLV and a return of the Vince Lombardi trophy to Titletown, NFL fans are left wondering, “What’s next?” The impending lockout of the players by the NFL owners now hangs like a black cloud over the sports universe. We read on Twitter and various Internet sources about the players’ firm stance and the owners’ stubbornness. We also read and hear from commissioner Roger Goodell how optimistic he is that a deal will get done and that there will be a season in 2011. But can the fans, players and owners trust him when he says that? So far, we’ve heard from Goodell all about how the safety of the players is the primary Captain Cort Bulloch attempts to protect the puck from a Kansas opponent during a hockey game at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.
