According to the venue’s website, the Eleventet has been playing up and down the east coast for the last 20 years. In 2007, David finalized a Philadelphia-based roster and since they’ve been playing frequently throughout the city.

This Wednesday, David and his ensemble will be playing a show at World Cafe Live at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance and $15 at the door the day before the show.

According to an email from the Office of University Housing and Residential Life, residence halls are to have a wireless network by September 14th, available on the turesnet and turesnetextra wireless networks. It, like Temple’s main wireless network Wifi4Owls, allows wireless printing and access to Temple’s online resources.

It will be available in Johnson, Hardwick, White Hall, Temple Towers, 1940, 1300, Peabody and the Podiatry residence halls. For more information on how to access this network, visit Computer Service’s wireless page.

Prior to this, all residents in university housing had to connect their computers to Ethernet cables in their rooms, or use the Wifi4Owls network in study lounges and social lounges.

For more coverage, student opinions and a review of the network (will it overload? will Computer Services crash and burn? Or make it to the finish line?), visit temple-news.com on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Lavoy Allen, recent graduate and power forward for the Owls, had plans to continue his career in Pennsylvania. That is, at least until earlier this month. when his plans fell through in light of the NBA’s recent impasse between players and team owners. In a recent interview, Allen said he doesn’t want to wait on the bench for an entire season while the Association works out its issues. Instead, the 6-foot-9 forward from Morrisville, Pa. decided to look abroad for a job opportunity.

Allen found a home in France, with Strasbourg IG, for whom he’ll be suiting up and practicing with come this Monday. Strasbourg competes in the French Pro A league, an 18-team first division league founded in 1987.

Allen joins football players Jaiquawn Jarrett and Mohammed Wilkerson as the only Temple athletes to drafted by a professional sports team this year. Jarrett was signed by the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles and Wilkerson was drafted by the New York Jets.

Earlier this week, the Owls were honored by the Philadelphia affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for a Cure, the largest organization dedicated to breast cancer research, education and health services.

The award, presented by Susan Barnett, the CBS3/CW Philly 57 Eyewitness News anchor, recognized the team’s dedication and inexhaustible efforts for the foundation, including logging approximately 1,000 hours of community service each spring, and continuous participation in the Komen Race for a Cure. On May 8 of this year, the Owls made up a near 1,000-man participation to raise approximately $3.3 million.

The team has also received several accolades to honor its dedication to the community, including several T.E.A.M. awards – an honor awarded by Temple honoring “exceptional acts for mankind” in 2009 and 2010.
