Sports in Brief: Next up is France as U.S. eliminates Austria in Davis ...
The defending champion United States eliminated Austria from the Davis Cup yesterday to set up a quarterfinal against France. Twins Bob and Mike Bryan were in full command, defeating the doubles team of Julian Knowle and Jurgen Melzer, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, in Vienna. The victory gave the Americans a 3-0 lead in the best-of-five first-round series. France advanced by going up, 3-0, against Romania and will play the Americans on April 11-13. Winter sports Lindsey Vonn joined Picabo Street and Daron Rahlves as the most successful American downhill skiers when she blew away the field in Sestriere, Italy, for her fourth win in seven downhills this season. It was the ninth downhill victory of her career, matching Street and Rahlves. With Bode Miller in front in the men's overall standings, this is the first time Americans have led both the men's and women's ranks since Tamara McKinney and Phil Mahre won overall titles in 1983.
Boffins build underwater sports car
Swiss car modification firm Rinspeed has built the world's first real submersible car inspired by the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the sQuba concept car is a zero emission vehicle driven entirely by electric motors. Rinspeed boss and James Bond enthusiast Frank Rinderknecht said: "For three decades I have tried to imagine how it might be possible to build a car that can 'fly' underwater. Now we have made this dream come true."The sQuba's ability to undertake submerged stable flight at a depth of 10 metres sets it apart from currently available military vehicles which can travel under water but are limited to driving slowly over the submerged ground."It is not easy to make a car watertight and pressure resistant enough to be manoeuvrable under water.
Court: Artist shouldn't have gotten jail time for mural
ROSEVILLE, Mich. - The Michigan Court of Appeals says an artist who got in trouble over a mural on the exterior wall of his studio shouldn't have been sentenced to jail time.
An appeals court panel ruled 2-1 Thursday that Ed Stross' First Amendment rights were violated. He was ordered in 2005 to serve 30 days in jail for violating a Roseville sign ordinance.
Stross' mural is a take on Michelangelo's "Creation of Man." It depicted Eve with a bare breast and has "love" written on it.

NECC staff receive national recognition
Five Northern Essex Community College employees were recently named recipients of the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development Awards for Excellence. They were: Cynthia "CJ" Crivaro of Bradford, a faculty member in the behavioral sciences department; Ann Grandmaison of Nashua, N.H., the electronic services librarian in Bentley Library on the Haverhill campus; John Sabbagh of Methuen, a faculty member in the accounting program; Nancy Nickerson of Methuen, a faculty member in the math department; and Timothy Barnes of Tewksbury, an adjunct faculty member in the business department. The awards recognize teaching excellence and are presented annually at National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development's annual conference, which is in May in Austin, Texas. Northern Essex recipients are nominated by their peers and/or supervisors based on the quality of their teaching, their success with students, their community involvement and their creativeness and inventiveness.
Edwards tops Johnson for Sprint Cup win
The CoT is being used for the entire Sprint Cup schedule in 2008 and its debut on Auto Club Speedway's 2-mile oval was a triumph for Edwards and Roush Fenway Racing. "I know that last year I would not have traded my car in for one of theirs at any of the CoT races towards the end of the year," Edwards said. "I thought we had the best car. Everyone knows, all the drivers know for sure, it's what you're sitting in a lot of the times that makes a tiny little difference and I'm proud to be driving this car." Team co-owner Jack Roush dragged his feet testing the bigger, boxier CoT a year ago. But Roush said that changed last May when he realized other teams were getting too far ahead. "We went to Bristol (for the first CoT race) and we were 2,000 miles behind what they did in testing on non-sanctioned NASCAR tracks," Roush said.
Thinking of spring training, Francoeur’s future
It'll be interesting to see if he's pleased with the results, since he's had to fit his workout regimen around getting married and all that goes with that. Francoeur knows he still needs to keep improving on his plate discipline and using the entire field, since he's always more productive and a tougher out during those stretches when he's staying in his approach, hitting line drives and using the whole field, not trying to pull balls over the left-field fence. Again, it's a balancing act. He wants to be a 30-homer guy, because he knows he can help the team by providing another legit power-hitting threat pitchers have to be concerned with (not to mention, he probably knows you get paid a lot for hitting homers). But he also wants to maintain an average between .280-.300.
Shah hoping for Test selection
If nothing else, though, Shah has put himself in the frame for selection in Thursday's three-day match against a Select XI including eight potential members of New Zealand's Test squad when England are expected to field a side close to the one they intend to select for Seddon Park. "I've known Strauss for a very long time, but the difference this time is that he's been there and played and done well against the best teams in the world," conceded Shah. "Things are obviously in his favour but I'd like to think I'm also putting pressure on the selectors and have shown what I can do and push for my selection. Runs on the board always count in my view and if I can keep doing that then hopefully I'll get selected. "It's still early days because we've got another three day game against a good side to come so if I do get chance in that and get some runs then I think I will have put some pressure on the selectors to pick me for the first Test," he added.
