Audubon Pennsylvania, a division of the National Audubon Society, has selected Phil Wallis, former president of the Natural Lands Trust and founder of the Keystone Conservation Trust, as its next executive director. Wallis will be based at the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove in Audubon, Pa., but also be a presence in Audubon's Harrisburg office.

A native of southeastern Pennsylvania, Wallis has held leadership positions with several conservation organizations over the past 20 years.

Worst headline ever.

Urine tests for HGH? This would be HUGE. The NFL likes to pat its back on its drug policy but I would argue that a lot of guys are HGH users because they know there isn't a test that can really test for it.

Some new management in place with the Chiefs. Hopefully something long term works out.

I'll believe it when I see it. People have been trying to battle Jack Murtha for years and have gone home losers come general election. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just saying I'm not predicting it.

The Harrisburg Senators are slipping offensively.

Following Wednesday night's 3-0 loss to host Bowie, the Senators fell 2 1/2 games behind the Baysox for the second playoff berth in the Southern Division. The game was called with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning because of heavy rain.

Bowie wasted little time grabbing control in the first inning by posting three runs on a RBI double by Luis Montanez and a two-run single by catcher Matt Wieters. Bradley Bergesen (12-3) pitched the victory, while Justin Jones (2-1) took the setback.

Harrisburg had an golden opportunity in the top of the fourth with the bases loaded with no outs, but came out of the inning with no runs. The Senators will conclude their road trip with Bowie at 11:05 a.m. Thursday.

While we wait for the second York County qualifier, here's a look at Sunday's schedule in opening-round action of the American Legion Region 4 double-elimination tournament hosted by Middletown. Teams are listed with county and overall record.

The Associated Press Justin King signed plenty of autographs during his time at Penn State. On Wednesday, he signed one on a contract with the St. Louis Rams.

The St. Louis Rams agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year contract with cornerback Justin King, the team's fourth-round draft pick out of Penn State.

King, the 101st overall pick, was an all-Big Ten first-team selection in 2007. The Rams have signed all their picks but second-round wide receiver Donnie Avery.
