Joe Cole gives Chelsea final glow
A 1-0 victory at Goodison Park earned Chelsea a 3-1 aggregate semi-final win over Everton and left Grant, who had suggested that the Merseyside club’s need was by far the greater, to launch a strong defence of his brief reign. Since losing his first match in charge, against Manchester United in September, his team have been beaten once in 27 matches in all competitions and, after Joe Cole’s superbly taken goal had confirmed their place at Wembley on February 24, the Chelsea first-team coach suggested it was time they were given a little recognition. "I think everyone needs to see what Chelsea is doing in the last few months," Grant said. "It’s not just in the league or the Champions League, we’re also in the Carling Cup final now. Most of the people thought we wouldn’t succeed, but now we’re at Wembley, we’re four points from the top of the league and we’re in the last 16 of the Champions League.
K-State's offensive line showing improvement
MANHATTAN — In football, it's customary for a quarterback to treat his offensive line to dinner when the big guys do a particularly good job in pass protection. Kansas State has allowed just four sacks this season, least in the Big 12 and tied for third-best in the nation, which means quarterback Josh Freeman probably should look into securing a table for six at Doe's Eat Place or Harry's Uptown. .

EDDIE MURPHY EARNS MULTIPLE RAZZIE NODS: "Norbit" singled out by annual celebration of year's worst films and performances. *Eddie Murphy has joined Halle Berry in the rare class of actors who have received nominations for both an Academy Award, honoring the best in film, and a Razzie Award, which "rewards" the year's worst.
Berry was a winner at both ceremonies – earning a best actress Oscar for "Monster's Ball" in 2002 and a worst actress Razzie three years later for "Catwoman."
While Murphy was unable to bag the supporting actor Oscar for "Dreamgirls" last year, chances are good that he'll take home at least one of eight Razzie nominations for his 2007 fiasco "Norbit."
Murphy alone received five Razzie nods, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year. Besides worst picture, "Norbit" had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit's morbidly-obese wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy's other characters.
Retail CIOs aiming to ditch legacy of IT complexity
Retail technology touches our daily lives at almost every turn and that's reflected in the fact that one-fifth of those on the CIO50 list come from that sector. Yet retailers traditionally spend proportionally less on IT than almost any other sector, leaving many companies with ageing and complex proprietary systems. Julian Goldsmith talks to retail CIO veteran and silicon.com editorial board member Ric Francis about about the current tech challenges for the sector... Retail is by nature fast-moving and fluid, often forced to react to the whims of consumer demand. Competition between retailers is at times cut-throat and players in the industry are constantly investing in ways to pull shoppers in through the door. All these factors impact heavily on what types of technology retailers choose to invest in or whether they choose to invest in technology at all - often preferring to spend budgets in other areas, such as expanding store portfolio, cutting product prices or buying back shares.
Piecing together 2008
As 2008 dawns, Ideas ponders the signals that ideas send. Ideas foretell the future. With ideas, we can choose the future. Such a simple, underrated idea. How it works: The Frank Gehry masterpiece rising now on Dundas St. in Toronto is an idea; conceived, selected, being created. Electric cars and wind turbines are ideas, with implications for tomorrow; so are the minutiae of special bins for garbage pick-up and the immensity of the Large Hadron Collider (a.k.a. ``The Answer Machine,'' to be discussed), which promises to reveal secrets about how the universe works at the sub-atomic level. The notion that the future can be determined is reassuring. Aren't scientists saying much can be done about global warming, in fact telling us what? And it is thought-provoking: The big idea renders something we think of as indeterminate something we choose instead.
