Alvin Allcon said the threat against the station, located on the first floor of Moudy Building South, came from an unidentified person who had called a number of times over the past couple of weeks to complain about the format of the station.

There has to be something to distract everyone from the 24-hour, vomit-inducing coverage of the Boston Red Sox's return to the World Series, the New England Patriots' run toward an undefeated season and the thought of Ohio State and Boston College at No. 1 and No. 2 in the BCS standings, respectively.

The unusual amount of injuries and surprising disappointments of this season has sparked some interesting trades that are making waves in the fantasy world.The faces in new places to watch are Michael Bennett in Tampa Bay, formerly of Kansas City and Chris Chambers in San Diego, formerly of Miami. One would think Chambers' value would skyrocket now that he has a legitimate quarterback and high-powered offense to fit into, but be wary. He won't see near the number of targets he did when he was the only option down in Florida.
