PHILADELPHIA -- As Temple University kicks off its football season Friday, the schools drive for a 35,000-seat stadium appears to be stalled.Facing intense community opposition, skeptical legislators and a summer leadership crisis that forced Temples provost and president to step down, the school has no clear timeline to bring a proposal to City Hall.The Owls have paid rent since 2003 to play 6 miles away at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. To build its own campus facility, Temple needs legislation passed by City Council -- but a spokeswoman for President Darrell Clarke, who represents the universitys North Philadelphia district, says first there must be a rigorous and respectful community engagement process.As of now, and as far as Council President Clarke is concerned, there is no stadium proposal for Council to consider, Clarkes spokeswoman Jane Roh said Friday.The $126 million plan has generated controversy since February, when Temples board of trustees approved a feasibility study, hired architects and tore down apartments on university land near campus.Neighbors worry that traffic and parking shortages could jam streets with drunk tailgaters. Temple wants to build across the street from an elementary school, a home for the elderly, and dozens of rowhomes.Why do you need a stadium in the middle of a residential area? said resident Karen Sisco. When school is in session and they decide to have a game on Friday night, you have the rigmarole, the students who get drunk and forget that it is a community and have bad behavior.But supporters say the stadium will make the campus -- historically a commuter school -- a tighter-knit community. The school serves more than 34,000 full-time students.You see every other southern school or out west -- thats everything they are, is football. Thats how you grow a university, said Tyler Baldo, a junior advertising major from Delaware.The university says rent at Lincoln Financial Field will triple from $1 million per year to $3 million starting 2018. So, by building its own facility -- financed through donations, loans and grants -- Temple wont have to pay rent. Officials say tuition will not be affected.It makes financial sense, university spokesman Ray Betzner said. That $3 million can be used to support the educational mission of the university.The Owls have seen a rebirth after decades as one of the worst programs in college football. They went 9-4 in 2009, their best record since 1979. Last season, they took off under coach Matt Rhule, including beating rival Penn State for the first time in 74 years in front of nearly 70,000 fans.Ive been at Temple since `02 -- I can give a really good lecture, but Im never going to get 69,000 people to come to it, said Scott Gratson, associate professor of communications. How the campus grew together, came together, over that event, was absolutely spectacular.Later in the season, ESPNs College Game Day visited ahead of Temples sold-out contest against Notre Dame. The team finished the season 10-4 and went to its fifth-ever bowl game. Applications shot up 15 percent last year -- which some attributed to football success, though theres little hard evidence.But when talk of a new stadium began, pushback was immediate. The Stadium Stompers, a group of student and community activists, capped off a series of protests earlier this year by presenting Temples then-president, Neil Theobald, with an award for Best Gentrifier.Temple occupies a large swath of impoverished North Philadelphia, and the largely black population has long been concerned about being shoved out by rising rents and an expanding university footprint.The student population living near campus has more than doubled in the past decade, and a May report by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that median home sale prices near the proposed stadium site have spiked tenfold in 13 years, from $11,250 to $140,000.Temple has tried to soothe concerns by stressing the potential benefits of a stadium, including new jobs and retail outlets.But residents remain unconvinced. The Stompers are planning more protests, with ideas ranging from blocking the homecoming parade to sculpting and stomping a mini-stadium.For now, Temple is conducting a $1.25 million traffic study.The university and the board was effectively going through due diligence -- a feasibility review of the project, and that hasnt changed, said Kevin Feeley, spokesman for Temples board of trustees. We are still doing our due diligence.Nike Air Force 1 Kaufen Schweiz . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is.

Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. http://www.airforce1justdoitschweiz.ch/air-force-1-schwarz-grosshandel-schweiz.html .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em.

Nike Air Huarache Schweiz . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes is back.The face of the Rio Olympics, Paes has shied away from the cameras since the opening ceremony. But he was back in view on Friday, bowing to Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, who arrived wearing a white kimono for a meeting with her Rio counterpart.Paes will hand over the Olympic flag to Kioke at Sundays closing ceremony, the moment eyes turn from South America to Asia, where the next three Winter and Summer Olympics will be held.Paes repeated his spirited defense of holding the Rio Games, saying the Olympics had been a catalyst for building a new subway-line extension, an express-bus system and a renovated port area. He cited a mix or private and public money to stage the games, arguing they were reasonably priced and would leave no white elephants.I think its an amazing legacy for Rio that people will have for many years, Paes said.Credited by the International Olympic Committee for pushing preparations, Paes has often tried to lower expectations about Rios Olympics, which have been plagued by empty seats and organization problems.He did it again with Koike, saying Tokyo is a much more ddeveloped city than Rio.ddddddddddddIf you want to be fair to Rio, you cannot compare us to Tokyo, to Chicago to Madrid, Paes said, citing cities that were beaten out by Rio in 2009 when the IOC chose its 2016 host. These are cities that have much better infrastructure. They come from developed countries. You have to compare Rio to Rio.Paes said the shift to Tokyo should please the IOC, which is coming off difficult games in Sochi, Russia, and Rio de Janeiro.We come from a tropical experience, the Latin ways of Brazil, which sometimes made the IOC members a little bit crazy, Paes said.Paes also noted Koikes kimono, a traditional garment that is used for important ceremonial moments.The great Japanese hospitality is represented by the kimono, Kioke explained. Thats why Im wearing one.Paes replied: The next time I meet her in Tokyo, Im going to wear a kimono, he said. I love it.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade ' ' '
