| Overton and USC hit court — as opponents
Overton committed to USC in September 2006 but didn't sign in the early November period, then pledged his allegiance to Washington in February 2007, signing later that spring. "I was ready to sign [with USC early], but he [Floyd] didn't want me to sign right away," Overton said. "That was the issue. UW wanted me to sign right away, so I wasn't sure if their [the Trojans'] offer was real, like they didn't think I was going to make it. I think they were going to set me up to a prep school, and I didn't really want that." Said Floyd: "We would have taken Venoy if he had honored his commitment." Overton said he ultimately decided to just stay home. "I just wanted to be a hometown kid," he said. Intriguingly, Overton could return to the starting lineup today as coach Lorenzo Romar attempts to jump-start the Huskies after losses to Washington State and UCLA.
8 smart ways to insure your home insurance
Hurricane Katrina swept away all the old rules about homeowner's insurance. These days, filing a single small claim, switching insurers to save a few bucks, or assuming your coverage hasn't changed can expose you to huge financial hardships. A study released this week by the Consumer Federation of America supports what many homeowners have been feeling over the past several years: We're paying a lot more to protect our homes and getting a lot less in return. It's more important than ever to check up on your coverage, so here are eight defensive moves to keep you adequately covered and cut costs. Appraise your coverage
Surveys show that more than half of U.S. homes are underinsured by an average of 22%. Coverage based on generic formulas ($65 to $150 per square foot) won't cut it if you've renovated or failed to account for rising building costs.
A History of The Virginia Gazette
He set up his press and began to publish the acts of the recently adjourned Assembly. He also printed several other papers about which nothing is known.
Nuthead was called before the governor and the council, where he was ordered to stop the presses "until the signification of his Majesties pleasure shall be known therein." Within months that "pleasure" was known when a royal order was issued that "no person be permitted to use any press for printing upon any occasion whatsoever."
With that definitive ruling, Nuthead packed up and returned to his native Maryland. Printing was nonexistent in the colony for nearly 50 years thereafter.
Government policy eventually eased and a more tolerant attitude prevailed. In 1730 William Parks moved from Annapolis to Virginias new capital, Williamsburg, to open a branch office.
