Domino's Pizza is growing in the Baltimore area. And it's looking to hire. The pizza delivery chain needs 200 additional workers for its 48 Baltimore stores - delivery drivers, assistant managers and general mangers. "We are dedicated to this area and excited about the opportunity to offer additional jobs within the community, and grow in Baltimore," Chris Rowe, Baltimore Domino's Pizza director of company operations, said in a statement. Employees who start out as drivers can move up, Domino's said.

Towson's 11-8 upset of No. 15 Drexel in one semifinal of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament Wednesday evening means the Tigers will meet No. 9 Penn State in the title game on Friday and get a chance to seize the automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament. The outcome may also have opened the door a little wider for No. 13 Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays (8-5) are rated 17th in RPI in the latest rankings produced by the NCAA. The Dragons (11-4) are two spots ahead of Johns Hopkins but could slide down when the RPI list is updated this weekend for the NCAA selection committee.

Domino's Pizza is adding to its $5.99 value pizza deal with a new promotion, discounted non-pizza items. The nation's second largest pizza chain says it will now let customers substitute other items for $5.99, including Oven Baked Sandwiches, Penne Pastas, Stuffed Cheesy Bread or an eight-piece order of chicken, Nation's Restaurant News reported. January is the time of year when restaurant chains promote low-calorie options or special deals to appeal to consumers who've resolved to lose weight or save money in the new year, the trade journal says.

Last week on the “X Factor” we had Demi and Simon's teams fight for the final spots. This week it's Britney and L.A.'s turn! L.A. is still pretty upset with getting the over 25's and has absolutely no problem showing that to his category. Jason Brock came through trying to sing “Big Girls Don't Cry.” He was right on pitch but L.A. and Justin Bieber feared that he may not be worth the $5M pay out. Annapolis' David Correy sang “Domino.” The song was almost unrecognizable.
