A 6-foot-7-inch seaman plays on all-Navy basketball team

Tolbert said he would like to apply to attend Virginia State University on a Navy scholarship, where he could play and finish his education.

NORFOLK, Va. - Seaman Sam Tolbert needed to get to another, quieter compartment in his ship. There was one obvious way: through the bulkhead, a manhole-size cutout about 3 feet off the deck. Tolbert tucked his head, coiled up his 6-foot-7-inch frame and aimed for the hole. Swish.

A train of visitors bumped and rattled through behind him. He explained his deft moves: "I'm used to it." The Navy is not perfectly designed for the big and tall sailor. But for Tolbert, it is a path to further his basketball education.

At 21, he is a two-time member of the all-Navy basketball team. He's a force at military gyms and aboard the amphibious ship Bataan.

Obama Claims Historic Presidential Nomination

Becomes First Black Candidate To Head Major-Party Ticket

With a split decision in the final two primaries and a flurry of superdelegate endorsements, Sen. Barack Obama sealed the Democratic presidential nomination last night after a grueling and history-making campaign against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton that will make him the first African American to head a major-party ticket.

Before a chanting and cheering audience in St. Paul, Minn., the first-term senator from Illinois savored what once seemed an unlikely outcome to the Democratic race with a nod to the marathon that was ending and to what will be another hard-fought battle, against Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.

"Tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another -- a journey that will bring a new and better day to America," he said, as the emotion of the moment showed on his face. "Because of you, tonight I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America."

Bulldog defenders teaming up again at Lane College

PALM COAST, FL -- Ralph Jeanty and Brandon Hubbert took different paths to the same destination while playing football at Flagler Palm Coast, and now the pair are teaming up again at the collegiate level.

Jeanty and Hubbert, who graduated Saturday from FPC, each earned scholarships and signed National Letters of Intent last week to attend Lane College in Jackson, Tenn., next fall. The two were stalwarts on a defense that led all big school teams in the area for its stingy play and plan to continue that at Lane.

Jeanty played defensive tackle for the Bulldogs this past season, his second on the varsity. He racked up 10 solo tackles and six assists, along with two sacks, one fumble recovery and one pass break up.

Hubbert, a four-year member of the Bulldog program, played at linebacker and had 48 solo and assisted tackles this past season. He led the team with four fumble recoveries and also had 2 1/2 sacks, six hurries and five tackles for losses and a team-leading four fumble recoveries.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― A new rap album will hit the market next month called "A State of Emergency" and entertainer and comedian Bill Cosby is behind it.

The Philadelphia native is tired, like so many others, of the violence that has not only taken lives, but destroyed the lives of those left behind. Ukee Washington sat down with Dr. Cosby to talk about this soon-to-be-released project and he told Ukee first things first.

"I'm not rapping," said Cosby. But these young men are! It's the brainchild of Dr. William H. Cosby and friends: friends who came to him and said we want to do "clean lyrics." "I don't like the word clean, what I like is what you're not going to do.

The day he graduated Morehouse College in Atlanta was a day Cosby will never forget.
