Blue Devil Picks Tigers, Global Leadership Series, New Laws

Memphis native Elliot Williams will leave the Duke Blue Devils and transfer to Memphis for the 2009-2010 academic year. Citing family health concerns, Williams will ask the NCAA for a transfer waiver that will allow him to play immediately. This is great pick up for Josh Pastner's club and it will be a nice upgrade for next year's squad.

Condoleezza Rice will be one of the featured speakers at the Global Leadership Series hosted by Greater Memphis Chamber. Rice will visit Memphis Cook Convention Center on September 15. This will be a black tie optional event that includes a reception prior to dinner at 7pm. Tickets are available for $500.

Several new laws will go into effect in Tennessee tomorrow. Finally, we can have wine shipped to our homes direct from wineries. One of the less publicized new laws is a ban on texting and driving. Offenders will be fined $50.

Ladies and gentlemen, Better Than Ezra.
