The Russian built (ZAH'-ree-yah) Zarya control module and American Unity chamber were sucessfully connected yesterday creating a seven story tower out of the cargo bay of the shuttle.

The Ferrum Panthers got rocked in the Championship game of the Rotary Classic in Ferrum over the weekend.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Ferrum/Ferrum vs Embry-Riddle; :]

The Panthers appeared ready to play as they took the court.
But the Panther defense was too short to handle the Embry-Riddle big man, Dewayne Gordon, who slams down the two handed jam.
Ferrum's J-R Reynolds of Roanoke would steal the ball and take it down the court for the short jumper, just two of his game high 12 points.
The Panthers moved the ball around well--
[SUPER=33-Embry-Riddle/88/Ferrum/68/;]
it gets to Curtis Lipscomb who makes the nice reverse move, but the Panthers lose it 88 to 68.
