4 Reasons Not To Miss Them
2013年10月25日4 Reasons Not To Miss Them
The NCAA Tournament technically starts Tuesday with the "First Four," and because brackets don’t count the playin games, it’s easy to overlook them. Remember, though, Virginia Commonwealth made the Final Four as a playin in 2011, and this year’s field is loaded with potential giant killers.
Jerome Bettis Throwback Jersey
Here are four reasons why you don’t want to miss Tuesday or Wednesday nights:
Mitchell And Ness Jerome Bettis Jersey
1) St. Mary’s features Matthew Dellavedova, one of the premier guards in America and the only player in the country to have participated in the Olympics (for Australia). Middle Tennessee State has a counter in senior guard Bruce Masse, a pure lockup defender who will be glued to Dellavedova all night. Either one of these teams is capable of beating both Memphis and Michigan State, and both play very solid halfcourt basketball.

2) Perhaps my favorite matchup of the playin games comes Wednesday when Boise State battles Atlantic 10 upstart La Salle. Boise hasn’t been to the tournament since 2008 but is absolutely for real, having already beaten UNLV, San Diego State and Creighton. La Salle, meanwhile, will employ a four and sometimes a fiveguard lineup predicated on quickness. Something has to give, because Boise is a VCUlite: a superaggressive unit that will trap and pressure you for 40 minutes.
3) Boise State sophomore point guard Derrick Marks is having a monster year, averaging over 16 points and four assists. At 6foot3, he has good size and is a natural attacking point who could become a real star in this tournament if the Broncos can escape the Explorers.
4) I just can’t stop gushing over Middle Tennessee. One of the best scoring defenses in America is the epitome of a grindyouout, Big Tentype of team. St. Mary’s loves pickandroll and loves the three, something that the uberphysical Blue Raiders love to shut down. With 11 players who average at least 10 minutes each, they have depth to spare.

’s ’I have a dream’ speech anniversary
2013年10月25日’s ’I have a dream’ speech anniversary
WASHINGTON The final refrain of Martin Luther King Jr.’s most famous speech will echo around the world as bells from churches, schools and historical monuments "let freedom ring" in celebration of a powerful moment in civil rights history. EDT, the hour when King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington.
Commemorations are planned from the site of the speech in Washington to the far reaches of Alaska, where participants plan to ring cow bells along with church bells in Juneau.
On Aug. 28, 1963, as King was wrapping up his speech at the Lincoln Memorial, he quoted from the patriotic song, "My Country ’tis of Thee."
King implored his audience to "let freedom ring" from the hilltops and mountains of every state in the nation, some of which he cited by name in his speech.
"When we allow freedom to ring when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, ’Free at last, free at last, great God almighty, we are free at last," King said in closing.
On Wednesday, bells will answer his call from each of the specific states King named, as well as at other sites around the nation and the world. President Barack Obama and former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter will join members of the King family and Georgia Rep. John Lewis, who also spoke at the March on Washington, in ringing a bell that hung in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., before the church was bombed in 1963, organizers said.
International commemorations will be held at London’s Trafalgar Square, as well as in the nations of Japan, Switzerland, Nepal and Liberia. London Mayor Boris Johnson has said King’s speech resonates around the world and continues to inspire people as one of the great pieces of oratory.
"The response to our call to commemorate the March on Washington and my father’s ’I Have a Dream’ speech has been overwhelming," King’s daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, said in a written statement.
Some of the sites that will host ceremonies are symbolic, such as the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kan., a monument to the landmark Supreme Court case that outlawed segregated schools in 1954. Bells will also be rung at Lookout Mountain in Tennessee and Stone Mountain in Georgia, a site with a Confederate memorial that King referenced in his speech. Washington National Cathedral will play a series of tunes and spirituals on its carillon from the church’s central bell tower, including "Lift Every Voice and Sing," "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory," "Amazing Grace," "We Shall Overcome" and "My Country ’tis of Thee."
The Very Rev. Gary Hall, the cathedral’s dean, said bell ringing is a symbol of freedom in the nation’s history and that many churches are trying to answer King’s call to be faithful to the roots of the civil rights movement.
"It’s a kind of proclamation of our aspirations for the expansion of freedom for all people," he said. "It’s always important to remember that the civil rights movement started largely as a church movement. . It was essentially a group of black clergy with some white allies."
King preached his final Sunday sermon at the National Cathedral in 1968 before traveling on to Memphis, Tenn., where he was assassinated. King had been turning his attention more toward economic inequalities with his Poor People’s Campaign, moving beyond solely racial issues to talk about all poor people and high unemployment.
"My feeling is that 50 years later, we need to look at ourselves and our own diversity and our own need to be more open and inclusive and diverse than we have been historically," Hall said. The anniversary is a reminder, he said, "of what a powerful moment that march was in American history and how it really calls us to try to keep faith with the work that was begun 50 years ago."
