But all those playmakers haven't really helped stop opponents; The Golden Eagles are allowing 412 yards ofoffense a game, making them the 20th-worst defense in the country. For the Knights, their defense has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise unfortunate season. The defense has recorded an interception in 16 consecutive contests and has kept the Knights close to teams recently, and UCF has held its past three oppo­ nents to less total offense than their season averages. · But now the Knights are, facing the best running back they will see all season, as well as a quarterback that is a legitimate rushing threat and routinely gains positive yards. ·

OBAMA WINS parties in theprivacy ofhome Five senses used to sample naughty goods CHRISTINE HARPER • Staff Writer Carin Kronheim, a sex-toy party salesgirl, greets all of her clients with a smile and not a smirk Kronheim knows how to make her customers feel at ease while showing them the latest in sex-toy products. She starts the night at her client's house by playing a game, passing out 10 pieces ofcandy com and pink M&M's to the seven wide-eyed women in the room "Every time I mention a sexual organ, you have to eat a piece of candy. First person to finish their candy wins," Kro­ nheim instructs the audience. Ten minutes later, the game has been won. Kronheim extends the purple bag filled with prizes to the lucky winner, who in tum pulls out a small bottle of lotion. Now that everyone in the room is feeling comfortable, Kronheim brings out the toys. There they are, in every shade of the girly rainbow.
