Don't miss the JEOPARDY! episodes beginning Monday 2.14 until Wednesday 2.16. On those episodes, two champions go up against IBM's newest weapon-Watson.
It's an historical first (probably) for the game show industry to have a computer against human opponents. Here's a promo from IBM on the powers of Watson:
Again, the episodes of J! will come on this Monday until Wednesday. Check local listings.

The Best Super Bowl XLV Ads! HANDPICKED!
Here it is folks! The event you've been waiting for! My handpicked top five adverts of Super Bowl XLV!
5. May the force be with the Passat!
4. "That's why I don't do commercials!"
3. "What's a Bieber?"
"He kinda looks like a girl!"
2. "This is the Motor City. This is what we do."
And the best ad of Super Bowl XLV goes to...
"Release the Hounds"
"What now? It didn't work!"
"Hit 'em with the Kenny G!"
There were 76 ads for the game, view them all either at YouTube or Fox Sports.
If you agree or disagree with this list, simply post a response! Criticism is always welcome!

'Prelude' this weekend at Marjorie Lyons!
With Gents and Ladies basketball and Gents lacrosse on the road this upcoming weekend, wouldn't be nice for anyone in this area to see the second (and final?) student-run production of the 2010-11 season at MLP?
Craig Lucas' Prelude to a Kiss begins this Thursday, with runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm.
The lowdown is right here.
For those who don't know where Marjorie Lyons is located, it's at the northeast end of the Centenary campus, at Woodlawn and Wilkinson.

Friday Jukebox 2.4.11: Four for one post!
Even though the wintry weather will not stop me from posting this! Although it's homecoming weekend "Back to the Future" at Centenary, this is a four-in-one posting for this week's Friday Jukebox!
On Wednesday, it was 1950's day, so therefore let's get some Elvis into your system.
On Thursday, it was 1960's day, even though classes were scrapped after 5pm due to the wintry weather. And in honor, here's some late '60s goodness from Steppenwolf. You know what it is! The original version, not Hinder's 2007 cover.
Today it was supposed to be a 1970's day, but classes were scrapped for the whole day due to the snow. I figure that since it's the '70s, the focus is primarily on the late '70s. Therefore, one of my favorite cuts from the late '70s is Cut Glass' "Without Your Love."
And on Saturday rounds out homecoming weekend festivities. This time it's '80s day. And I found a track that I've never heard before from the decade that I caught my eye this morning. This is from Spandau Ballet, called "Only When You Leave," released in '84. They performed it at Live Aid '85.
So there you go folks, and also I'll be at the Gents and Ladies games on Saturday (hopefully). The announcement of the king and queen will be at halftime, possibly of the Gents' game.
Please be safe this weekend from the weather. When you drive, be careful. Thank you.

20 years ago last Thursday (1.27)...
A legendary Super Bowl moment that most of y'all remember (I did):

Ice, Ice Baby
The wintry shit is back in this part of the country! From northern Texas through this part of the south, it's been hit...again. And it even takes a toll on SB XLV festivities.
DFW airport once delayed flights, but they're now open. There were some cancellations throughout the region. And then you have this: Big pileup on I-35. As you see in the images, there are a lot of 18-wheelers in it, including one from Swift and another from St. Germain Transport out of Quebec.
(Note to add: Various electric companies in the region-AEP included-reported power outages).
