Yeah the overnights, the graveyard shift, pulling thirds!  If you are suffering from a bit of insomnia, feel free to flip on the radio and tune to 96.1 to see what is happening.  Tune in weekdays starting at midnight to catch 40 minutes of continuous classics, Mid-Michigan weather twice an hour, and find out what is going on in Mid-Michigan and around the globe!

A British teacher is suing his former employer, the Bigland Primary School, for what he calls racial discrimination.  Nicholas Kafouris was supposedly fired from his teaching post of 12 years after he complained to administrators at the East London school that some of his students were celebrating the hijackers of 9/11 as heroes.  Kafouris says the students told him that they too want to grow up to be "Islamic bombers."  The school is made up of predominatly ethnic minorities and many are from Muslim families.

Whispers from Comerica Park say this week the Tigers could announce the signing of left fielder and former Yankee and Red Sox Johnny Damon... we'll have to wait and see, but if it happens I will be sure to keep you updated.  This could also mean the beginning of the end for Carlos Guillen. 

The Tigers also released their television schedule, and currently all but one game is not on T.V.  the second game of the year in Kansas City April 7th.
