Well this is something of a letdown.
After months of speculation, blind alleys, dead ends, false rumors and all other manner of wrongness, the "Dark Knight Rises" roles for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard have been officially announced and they're both playing people you've never even heard of.
Here's the nut from Warner Bros.' press release:
U.S. & World
Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.
The film reunites the actors with Christopher Nolan, who recently directed them in the award-winning blockbuster "Inception."
The director stated, "When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again."
Heading the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises," Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The main cast also includes Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as Bane.
If you don't recognize those names it's because the characters are brand new inventions for the film. which hey, great... but we were so stoked about the idea of JGL as The Riddler, and the thought of Cotillard as Talia Al Ghul, Batman's lover-turned-enemy was swoon inducing.
Oh well, in Nolan we trust.

TUSCALOOSA | Olivia Davis said something stirred inside her on Jan. 12 when she heard that 17-year-old Angelica Golston was killed in her home at Creekwood Village Apartments.
TUSCALOOSA | Olivia Davis said something stirred inside her on Jan. 12 when she heard that 17-year-old Angelica Golston was killed in her home at Creekwood Village Apartments.
"Children have been dying all the time, but it really got to me after Angelica's death, because that was the first young lady who died in that area that I knew of," said Davis, a pastor who is affiliated with Just Jesus Outreach Ministry.
Tresvon Tyrone Spencer, 18, has been charged with murder in connection with Angelica's death and is awaiting trial.
Angelica's death was one of several violent incidents involving youths in Tuscaloosa during the last days of 2012 and the first days of 2013.
While the community responded with anti-violence rallies earlier this year, Davis said she's just getting started addressing the problem.
This week, Davis is helping launch "Taking the Gospel to the Street: Youth Revival."
The three-day event is open to all Tuscaloosa youths and will be held at Creekwood Village at 7 p.m. Friday, noon Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday.
"I felt like it was time for the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ to go into the streets and onto the highways for real," Davis said.
She said the goal of the revival is to help youth become aware that God loves them and that He has a purpose for them.
"They need to become aware that they are somebody and can do anything when they put their minds to it," she said. "They're not all drug dealers and gang-bangers. Jesus took the lowest and turned them into the greatest.
"We want those kids who people say will be nobody and get them to become the next president of the United States," she said. "Greatness is within our children, and we have to instill that within them, especially our young black men."
The Rev. Paul Sanders of Creekwood Fellowship Church said he's glad Davis is leading a revival because the residents of Creekwood are in need of change.
"This is kind of like an end-of-the-year celebration for the children," Sanders said. "School ends Friday, and we open this up Friday. We just pray that God moves in a mighty way where lives are changed and souls are saved."
The revival will open at 7 p.m. Friday with singing, preaching, prayer, speakers and dancing.
From noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Maude Whatley Health Clinic will offer free health screenings. Other attractions Saturday include a Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue fire truck on which kids can play, a job fair with Hardee's restaurant, a raffle and free barbecue.
The revival will close Sunday with preaching, dancing, singing and evangelism.
Davis said any individual, church or group that wants to donate food, raffle, money or time is welcome to participate in the revival.
"Anybody and everybody can come," she said. "Jesus said 'Whosoever will, let him come.' Help us lift up the name of Jesus and let our young people know that the Lord loves them. He's looking for dads and granddads, grandmoms and moms that will come put their arms around someone's sons and daughters and let them know that someone loves them. It'll stop the violence and make our community a better place."

The Rule of Benedict and Environmental Stewardship
Abbot John Klassen, OSB
I should acknowledge at the outset the difficulty with the word "stewardship" in the title of this presentation. Many people feel a certain unease with the use of the word "stewardship" because of its association with the biblical creation story in which Adam and Eve are given "dominion" over all animals and plants. Genesis 1:28 reads God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiple; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth." But if this text is put in the context of the entire first and second testament, human beings have an enormous accountability for use of the earth's resources and the trust of caring for the earth and all that it holds. Like all stewards, we must give an account of our stewardship.
A poem entitled "Tragic Error" by Denise Levertov captures these concerns:
The earth is the Lord's, we gabbled,
and the fullness thereof
while we looted and pillaged, claiming indemnity:
while we preened ourselves, sure of our power,
willful or ignorant, through the centuries.
Miswritten, misread, that charge:
Surely we were to have been
earth's mind, mirror, reflective source.
Surely our task
was to have been
to love the earth,
to dress it and keep it like Eden's garden.
That would have been our dominion:
to be those cells of earth's body that could
perceive and imagine, could bring the planet
into the haven it is to be known,
(as the eye blesses the hand, perceiving
its form and the work it can do).
Denise Levertov, The Evening Train
As RB scholar Terrence Kardong has noted, "a casual reading of the Rule of Benedict indicates little or nothing of ecological interest. But an in-depth reading reveals three themes that can provide an ethical foundation for thinking about environmental stewardship. I will treat the themes of humility, stability, and frugality as they emerge in the Rule of Benedict and then try to extend these themes into the manner in which we try to live them out today, noting both what I consider to be successes and failures.
Humility is probably the central virtue promoted by the Rule of Benedict. Chapter seven on humility is all of seventy verses long and comes as the conclusion of his spiritual teaching. If there is a ratio that exists between the amount of space given to something and its importance, Benedict is certainly of that mind here.
Humility for Benedict is grounded in the "fear of the Lord" tradition that emerges in the Wisdom tradition of Israel. RB 7:10-11 is tough: "The first step of humility, then, is that a man keeps the fear of God always before his eyes and never forgets it. He must constantly remember everything God has commanded, keeping in mind that all who despise God will burn in hell for their sins and all who fear God have everlasting life awaiting them." No doubt a modern theologian would put this in different terms, but "fear of the Lord" will always be a daunting idea. The God-fearing person finds the holiness of God so awe-inspiring that it produces a strange mixture of simultaneous attraction and terror. Someone who has experienced the living God knows first hand that God is God and that he or she, a human being is not. I think of the call of Moses in the book of Exodus, the call vision of Isaiah, or any number of other texts that describe this experience.
The Christian name for this new awareness, that God is God, and I am not, is humility. It shares deep roots with the word humus, or soil, and humor. It is humility which allows us to acknowledge that we are not the creators of the universe, but creatures. It is humility which allows us to recognize that all life, human, botanical and zoological, comes ha adamah, "out of the ground." We are one with the soil, with the plants and animals, all of whom "fear God" by their very existence. The human choice is to live within the constraints of creaturehood. It is precisely humility which is a necessary corrective to the arrogance and acquisitiveness that has led to our increasing alienation from nature. Our anthropocentric posture toward the rest of the created world has motivated some theologians, such as James Nash, to introduce the idea of "ecological sin," defined in part as, "the arrogant denial of the creaturely limitations imposed on human ingenuity and technology, a defiant disrespect or a deficient respect for the interdependent relationships of all creatures and their environments established in the covenant of creation, and an anthropocentric abuse of what God has made for frugal use."
If you ask me for one word equivalent to humility, it is the word truth: the truth of our human situation, the truth of our strengths and weaknesses, the truth of our multiple motivations for any action, the truth of our relationships, to each other and to the earth.
Benedict's teaching on humility is oriented at individual monastics. This is primarily because of the literary history of the text, but we can extrapolate the deeper meaning to community life. It is easy for governments and multinational corporations to increase their power and control in anyway possible. Analogously, it is possible to have a community that is fairly humble as individuals, but as a group can be arrogant as the day is long. And this arrogance can lead to all kinds of distortions and harm to others, especially a kind of corporate deafness and blindness towards the consequences that corporate actions have on the environment and other people.
A few years ago Douglas Burton-Christie presented a paper at Saint John's in which he used poetry and literature to talk about an environmental ethic based on a deep and abiding knowledge of the local environment. He argued that individuals and communities become aware of the need for environmental sensitivity when they consciously choose to learn from and fall in love with a place. Though he never once mentioned the word stability, Burton-Christie provided me the missing link in my reflections on stability.
I want to argue that Benedictine stability has to include both a commitment to a specific place and a commitment to a specific group of people. If you go to a place and there is no there, there, it's not a Benedictine place. I don't know what it is, but it is not Benedictine.
Secondly, I want to suggest that the vow of stability is an excellent foundation for environmental stewardship. In Benedict's Rule it is not the hermits who are contrasted to the cenobites. It is the gyrovagues and sarabaites who are drawn in sharp relief. "There are the monks called gyrovagues who spend their entire lives drifting from region to region, staying as guests for three or four days in different monasteries. Always on the move, they never settle down, and are slaves to their own wills and gross appetites (RB 1:10-11)." We smile when we read this or hear the description, because of the kidding that the identified travel-prone individuals in our communities constantly receive or because of the euphonious character of the word. The tendency of the gyrovague is to be always on the go, if not outside of the monastery, then in the monastery. Or more precisely, within themselves. "Always on the move, they never settle down, and are slaves to their own wills and gross appetites." Stability is Benedict's antidote to this tendency.
By analogy, exploring, studying, seeing the place where one lives as a monastic will lead to a deep knowledge and love for the local environment and will ground one in a place. Kardong has suggested the following axiom: "Those who live in a place have the biggest stake in it." Of course, there are examples of communities who have destroyed their own local habitat. In the first ten thousand years of agriculture, over-grazing was one of the single most damaging practices that caused large tracts of land to be badly eroded or converted into desert. Human ignorance can wreak havoc in any situation, and local greed is as bad as any other greed.
The earth teaches us about the whole transition from birth to death. As Ernest Becker and a host of other writers have noted, to acknowledge the reality of death re-orients the meaning of human life. Benedict's Rule is very specific about death. He urges the monastic to keep death daily before one's eyes. These words of his merely serve to reinforce the message of psalms such as 39:
Lord, what will become of me
How long will I live?
Let me see how short my life is!
You give me a brief span of time;
Before you, my days are nothing.
People are but a breath:
They walk like shadows.
Or Psalm 90:
You return us to dust,
children of earth back to earth.
For in your eyes a thousand years
are like a single day:
they pass with the swiftness of sleep.
These and other psalms are embedded with a haunting sense of the fragility and finitude of human living and striving. Life is a gift, a given span of days, seventy years or eighty for those who are strong. Analogously, monastic places are also gift, to be received with joy and care, to be a part of for a while, but then to be handed on to the next generation.
The earth can also teach us about our lives. All too often we think of other humans as our primary teachers. But earth can teach us about change in a unique way because it has a four billion year resume in the field. The earth can teach us about loss and grief, about death and transformation. Gary Snyder has been writing poetry for almost forty years. He became a nationally known poet in the mid-1970's with the publication of the Pulitzer-prize winning "Turtle Island." Over the years he has articulated the need for bioregional approach to environmental stewardship. In a collection of essays in The Practice of the Wild, he records the words of a Crow elder: "You know I think if people stay somewhere long enough the spirits will begin to speak to them."
As Benedictine monastics we want to be people who "stay in a place long enough that the spirits can influence us." By coming to know a place deeply, the set of overlapping ecosystems, the delicate balance which exists between the number of creatures and available nourishment, the patterns that play themselves out year after year, monastic communities will make decisions with an understanding of their consequences. In the event of a serious mistake the community will be around long enough to recognize it as such.
This is not an argument against change but an argument for environmental knowledge. It is a knowledge that will lead us to recognize the habitats that are necessary for different kinds of wildlife. It will draw us to learn something about the forest that was originally in a place, to review topography and soil and climate conditions, and reforest if necessary. It is an argument for "wildness," for resisting the temptation to create places where there is not tall grass, fallen trees, and piles of leaves for animals to dwell. This knowledge will change us and the kind of education we give to our students. As described above, nature itself has much to teach about human limits, the seasons of a person's life, the cycle of death and renewal and will be part of the educational process. Finally, we will pray differently. The psalms and the scriptures are loaded with imagery from the natural world, which is activated in a fresh and powerful way by first-hand knowledge of the environment in which we live. We will come to know ourselves as part of the created world, and not in opposition to it.
Frugality: The Consumption Ethic
Early in the age of affluence that followed World War I, an American retailing analyst named Victor Lebow proclaimed, "Our enormously productive economy ...demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate." Americans have responded to Mr. Lebow's call and much of the world has followed. The United States is the largest consuming nation in the world. Our consumer culture has developed in lockstep with our consumer economy. Products that didn't exist so many years ago have become necessities in some households, inspiring workers to take on more hours to pay for them.
The ads from Best Buy, Audio King, Target and other retailers come weekly with the Sunday newspaper, offering high-tech goods (VCRs, TVS, stereos, computers, CDS, etc) at bargain prices. How do we negotiate our way through all of this, differentiating between needs and wants? What are the long-term environmental consequences of this ethos of consumption?
In the face of this stark reality, the Benedictine virtue of frugality offers us an alternative vision of sustainable consumption--based not on want but on essential need. Grounded in the ascetical tradition of the monastic tradition, RB is permeated with direct and indirect references to frugality. This is particularly true of the section governing the administration of the monastery and includes Benedict's teaching on private property, the distribution of goods according to need and the appropriate use of food and drink wherein Benedict writes, "Frugality should be the rule on all occasions. For example, the fundamental principal of the community of goods is positively stated in chapter 34: "As it was written, "It was distributed to each one according to need." Benedict continues further, "So the one who needs less should thank God and not be sad. And whoever needs more should be humble about his weaknesses and not gloat over the mercy shown him." (34:1, 3) This system of making a request for special needs generates some amusing situations. There is an apocryphal story told in our community of a monk who went in to the abbot to ask permission to have heart surgery. But the abbot responded, "If I let you do this, everyone will want to do it!" Benedict reluctantly suggests that one-half bottle of wine a day should be sufficient for each monastic, but would rather have complete abstinence from wine. However, "since the monks of our day cannot be convinced of this, let us agree to drink moderately and not the point of excess, for wine makes even wise people go astray." (RB 40:6-7) Why does Benedict establish this system? First he wants to combat avarice, that desire which can never get enough of the world's goods. When avarice is operating it is very difficult to distinguish "needs" and "wants." Our age has probably demonstrated the meaning of greed at new levels, with the bull market, the leveraged buyouts, the outrageous loans which catalyzed the savings and loans fiasco, and the most recent crisis in the orient. Has any vice flourished more spectacularly in the late 20th century?
The second reason is more positive -- he wants peace among the members. This is not merely a psychological phenomenon but a genuine peace because each person has what he or she needs to live, the satisfaction of legitimate needs. To a lay person, this may sound like a system wide open to abuse -- after all, how sensitive and open can any one person be? It is most likely analogous to the kind of negotiation which goes on in a family, between spouses, or trying the differing needs of children. But as any parent knows, or anyone in a spousal or partner relationship, it can sometimes be a painful and distressing discernment. Your "want" may be my "need."
Unique to Benedict is a chapter on a special official in the monastery, the cellarer. According to Benedict, this person should be wise, mature in conduct, temperate, not an excessive eater, not proud, excitable, offensive or wasteful (v.1) He should not annoy the brothers. If any brother happens to make an unreasonable demand of him, he should not reject him with disdain and cause him distress, but reasonably and humbly deny the improper request. He must show every care and concern for the sick, children, guests, and the poor, knowing for certain that he will be held accountable for all of them on the day of judgment. He will regard all utensils and goods of the monastery as sacred vessels of the altar, aware that nothing is to be neglected. He should not be prone to greed, nor be wasteful and extravagant with the goods of the monastery, but should do everything with moderation.
When we hear the Rule read as monastics every night at supper, we don't do a division of labor on various chapters. For example, when we hear chapter two, on what kind of man the abbot ought to be, we hear that as a call to ourselves, to what we should aspire to. The same thing holds for the above passage from chapter 31. Twice Benedict tells him not to be wasteful. furthermore he is to treat the ordinary things of the monastery with the same reverence as the extraordinary things. In chapter 32 Benedict requires the abbot himself to maintain a list of tools and other goods in the monastery, so that he knows what is going out and what is coming in. I think the chemistry department should do this with Crescent wrenches.
In recent years frugality has received renewed attention by a number of theologians and ethicists concerned with our environmental condition. James Nash, for example, names frugality as one of the nine "ecological virtues" of which sustainability is the first. On frugality Nash writes: "Frugality connotes thrift, moderation, efficiency, simplicity of life-style, and stringent conservation... It thrives on the control of consumption, the reduction of waste, and comprehensive recycling. It is the key to sustainability." Frugality is an excellent contribution we can make to our wasteful, over-consuming society.
Do not be wasteful!! Coming out of the Depression, American culture was frugal. Waste not, want not! The larger culture didn't throw anything away and neither did the monastery. But as Victor Lebow suggested above, "Our enormously productive economy ...demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate." It is an ongoing struggle to stay free of the consumption economy. We have probably been most successful at recycling buildings: the quadrangle, Engel, Joe, Frances, Greg, Emmaus, SBH, etc. Breuer originally intended that the entire quadrangle be torn down and replaced by concrete and steel structures. It is after all, a big brick barn, which is wonderfully flexible and responsible to new demands. Our recycling program goes on, though less successful than I would like it to be. There is an enormous educational challenge here, because of the continuous turnover in students. We avoid wasting community resources when we purchase carefully, when we buy things that will last a long time. God doesn't make junk and neither should monastic communities made in God's image. That is why our carpenter shop makes furniture which could be guaranteed for 100 years. Neither should we buy junk, but rather goods which are durable, simple with a sense of design.
As Benedictine institutions, where are the challenges to frugality? We are probably most vulnerable to waste in the area of computer technology, where obsolescence is such a fact of life. Computers, printers, and other instruments driven by computers are outdated as soon as they are purchased. How can we get out of this vicious cycle and remain close to the frontier of that technology?

Nineteen years have passed since Lindsey's first summer in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, when she was introduced to the mysterious mailbox on a deserted stretch of beach. Her beau at the time, Campbell, described the folklore behind it and encouraged her to write a letter to the Kindred Spirit who guards the mailbox. Over the years, Lindsey has dutifully left an account of the year in the mailbox, often describing her life in Charlotte, crumbling marriage, and sadness over losing Campbell.
Now she is back in Sunset Beach with her children, just days after finalizing her divorce. Although Lindsey has hoped over the past year that her husband would come back to her, she is trying to accept her new beginning. She runs into Campbell, and her emotions from nearly two decades ago return. Even though Lindsey felt betrayed by the way things ended in 1986, she still feels a connection to him. However, Lindsey discovers that Campbell violated her trust by reading her letters in the mailbox over the years. When she decides that she cannot lose him again, Lindsey realizes she and Campbell have always been each other's Kindred Spirit.

Chain Reaction: We Try the New Chicken Waffle Tenders From Popeyes
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
The new Chicken Waffle Tenders from Popeyes are not chicken and waffles. They are tender pretenders, culinary link bait that reflect, perhaps, fried chicken's attempt to rebut the bacon arms race that had
plagued awesome-ized every hamburger joint in America. They are an opening salvo in a war for fast food diners' heart and arteries, and it is my honor, nay my duty, to give them their fair shake.
Popeyes' Chicken Waffle Tenders hit on quite a few levels. Surprisingly, the tenders retained their exterior crunch despite the 20 minutes traveled in-box from restaurant to dining room table. The aroma of maple syrup was present without being overpowering, and the chicken was succulent. An excellent chicken-to-coating ratio on all three pieces meant that I didn't have to ask the most hated question in fried chicken: "Does this count as one of the pieces?"
What's New On Serious Eats
However, the Chicken Waffle Tenders aren't what I'd call a fast food breakthrough. I ordered traditional chicken tenders and nuggets as benchmarks, and both retained their crunchy texture as well as the Chicken Waffle Tenders. There was little noticeable difference in taste between all three when tried without sauce. Yes, the Chicken Waffle Tenders were somewhat 'richer' (whatever that means when we're talking about deep fried chicken), but the strong maple smell did not carry over to the taste at all. I don't know about you, but as I rule I prefer eating fried chicken to smelling it.
Luckily, we had sauce.
Popeyes' introduction of the Chicken Waffle Tenders also signaled the debut of a signature sauce to accompany them. The Honey Maple Dipping Sauce joins six other sauces—Bayou Buffalo, Bold BQ, Sweet Heat, Garlic Pepper Parmesan, Blackened Ranch, and Mardi Gras Mustard—but rises above them all. While ours was a pretty unscientific sauce taste test, all four diners agreed the Honey Maple Dipping Sauce was the standout winner. Combining that sauce with the Chicken Waffle Tenders bridged the gap between aroma and taste. I am generally a fan of sauce experimentation, but in this instance you can skip it. They found the right pairing at the lab. Bravo, Popeye's. Bravo.
There is more to be written about "The Meal" holistically. About how I don't understand sweet tea, or, for that matter, chicken and waffles. About how the Honey Maple Dipping Sauce combined with the Mardi Gras Mustard was a pleasant discovery (though not one that I can claim). But I'm sure you'll explain it all to me in the comments. I welcome it all!

Winter League roundup: Berger sharp for Margarita
Astros farmhand pitches club to victory in Venezuela with six strong innings
Venezuelan Winter League
Margarita 3, Magallanes 1
Astros farmhand Eric Berger held Magallanes to just two hits and a walk while striking out four over six inning of work. The 27-year-old right-hander, who spent most of last season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, then handed the game to Cardinals prospect Silfredo Garcia and Indians Minor Leaguer Bryan Price. Garcia gave up one run in the eighth -- his second inning of work -- and Price struck out the side in the ninth to pick up the save.
Margarita second baseman David Peralta led the way offensively, going 3-for-4 with a double -- the club's only extra-base hit. Leadoff man Antoan Richardson went 2-for-2 with two walks and an RBI. Breyvic Valera and Cesar Hernandez each drove in a run as well, giving Berger and Co. all the support they needed. Box score
Caracas 6, La Guaira 4
Caracas designated hitter and 17-year Major League veteran Bobby Abreu went 3-for-4 with two RBIs from the No. 3 spot in the lineup, and cleanup hitter Daniel Mayora added two hits, including a two-run homer in the seventh. Second baseman Luis Rodriguez also homered, blasting a solo shot in the sixth, and right fielder Danny Dorn went deep in the seventh.
Caracas carried a three-run lead into the top of the ninth, but La Guaira rallied for a run on a walk and back-to-back singles. Miguel Gonzalez drew a one-out walk to load the bases against reliever Jess Todd, but Rafael Ortega struck out swinging and Indians prospect Luis Sardinas, who had two hits and an RBI, flied out to left to end the game. Box score
Aragua 4, Zulia 2
Hector Gimenez, who played 26 games for the White Sox in 2013, hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and drove in another run on a line-drive single to center in the fifth, leading Aragua's 11-hit offensive attack. Luis Hernandez drove in Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia in the eighth, putting some distance between Aragua and Zulia after the latter rallied for two runs in the seventh. Box score
Caribes-Lara: Postponed (rain)
Mexican Pacific League
Guasave 5, Hermosillo 1 (7 innings)
Hermosillo outhit Guasave in Game 1 of a doublelheader but couldn't get the big hit when it counted. Guasave did most of its damage in the first few innings, getting to Hermosillo starter Barry Enright. In five innings, Enright allowed four runs on four hits. Meanwhile, Orlando Lara allowed just one run on four hits in five innings for his first win of the season. Box score
Hermosillo 7, Guasave 1 (7 innings)
In the second game between the two clubs, Hermosillo used a six-run seventh to pull away. That big inning included two doubles from Jose Amador and Carlos Gastelum, and was highlighted by a three-run home run from Luis Garcia. Ryan Verdugo allowed just one run on two hits in five innings, but reliever Jason Urquidez wound up getting the win. Box score
Navojoa 9, Mexicali 5
A five-run second inning for Navojoa proved to be the difference in Thursday's game. Alan Sanchez and Luis Fonseca both had three hits. Sergio Valenzuela got knocked around, allowing six runs on six hits in 1 1/3 innings for his second loss of the season. Eddie Gamboa allowed four runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings for his first win. Box score
Obregon 8, Culiacan 7
Culiacan looked to be on track for its eighth win of the season. Obregon, however, had a different idea, scoring five runs in bottom of the ninth to secure the come from behind victory. With four hits in the inning, the deciding run came on a bases loaded walk to Albino Contreras. Martin Sotelo got the win, while Francisco Rodriguez took the loss. Box score
Los Mochis 5, Mazatlan 5 (14 innings)
Nothing could be decided after a 14-inning thriller. After Mazatlan scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Los Mochis answered back with four runs in the fifth. After that, both teams tacked on runs in the seventh, before the game ended in a tie. A total of 17 pitchers saw action in the game (nine for Los Mochis and eight for Mazatlan). Box score

S.F. supervisors back micro-apartments
S.F. HOUSING 375 of the 220-square-foot units could be constructed under legislation, which seeks to confront high costs
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to give pint-size apartments a try, approving legislation that would allow for the construction of hundreds of 220-square-foot residential units.
Up to two people will be allowed to live in the micro-apartments, which legislation sponsor Supervisor Scott Wiener said would help those who want to live alone but can't afford most of the studio apartments on the market.
"To confront San Francisco's rising housing affordability crisis, we must be creative and flexible," Wiener said in a statement. "Allowing the construction of these units is one tool to alleviate the pressure that is making vacancies scarce and driving rental prices out of the reach of many who wish to live here."
But for the legislation to pass, Wiener had to agree to cap the number of micro-apartments at 375. Under the legislation, the City Planning Department will analyze the effects of the new units once 325 of them are built.
"Family-sized housing is important and its development should be encouraged," Wiener said. "But many - including seniors, students and transition age youth - do not need as much space or cannot afford it. These units will be a viable alternative for those who don't want to live with roommates."
The SoMa neighborhood and other densely populated city locations would be the likely location for the new units, which include a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Supervisor Jane Kim, who represents SoMa, said that neighborhood's population could increase by 32 percent as a result of unlimited micro-apartments.
The cap seemed to satisfy skeptics who say that micro-units are not the solution to the city's housing problem. Supervisor David Campos, who supported the measure, said he visited one of the proposed units and was struck by how expensive rent would be for such a small space.
Concern about rents
The micro-units are estimated to go for $1,300 to $1,500 a month. The average studio apartment in San Francisco rents at $2,075 a month, according to real estate service RealFacts.
"It's not a lot of space for $1,500," Campos said, adding that he was concerned it could raise rents across the city. "If 220 square feet is going to rent for $1,500, what does that do for the rest of the places in San Francisco?"
Supervisor John Avalos was the lone vote against the proposal, arguing that the city should be more focused on keeping families from moving.
"This doesn't make a lot of sense for the San Francisco I know," he said.
Mayor Ed Lee, who still must sign the measure, told reporters after his monthly question-time session before the board that he hadn't taken a position on micro-apartments yet.
"I'm always concerned whenever people are changing the standards, but I do think there might be good policy reasons," he said.
When the Planning Commission reluctantly approved a cap on the number of units last week, some commissioners worried that limitations would confuse developers. But tenant and affordable housing advocates said the cap was crucial to their support.
"We still have concerns, but this way, the impact would be softened if those problems came to fruition," said Sara Shortt, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco.
Looking at tenants
Ted Gullickson, director of the San Francisco Tenants Union, said he hoped the Planning Department study conducted before the cap is reached would shed light on who is moving into the units.
"If they become urban crash pads for high-tech employees, then we fear they could have a gentrifying effect on the neighborhoods as they get built," he said. "We do have a strong need for family-size housing as well as affordable housing, and we have limited development sites in San Francisco."

— A former agricultural education instructor at a northern Idaho high school has been charged with 11 counts of possessing child pornography.
The Lewiston Tribune reports the charges were filed against 27-year-old Tyler D. Mink of Lewiston in 2nd District Court.
Court records say officers searched Mink's residence and found hundreds of files they allege contain child pornography and other sexually exploitative material on various electronic devices.
Culdesac High School Principal Shannon Morris told the newspaper that Mink resigned last month. He had started working at the school in June.
Court records say Mink told an investigating officer that he downloaded child pornography for his own gratification.
Mink's preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 27.

The 24th Edition embraced the revolutionary spirit of the 2017 Honorary Retrospective recipient, maverick Hollywood producer Edward R. Pressman, in attendance with family members and collaborators, wife Annie and son Sam. As was Honorary Tribute recipient, »La Bamba« heartthrob Lou Diamond Phillips, joined by his wife Yvonne and young daughter Indigo.
The family affair resonated at the Opening Night Gala at the EWE Arena where the debut feature of Kubilay Sarikaya and Sedat Kirtan, »Familiye« had its world premiere and won the hearts of the audience and went on to win the 2017 German Independence Award for 'Best Film'. It's co-producer, German superstar Moritz Bleibtreu, was also in attendance to present the film and was honored with the eleventh 'Star of Excellence' on the OLB Walk of Fame.
A special night at the Mid Gala Tribute Awards at the grand State Theatre. Presented with surprise 'tribute' reels, film friends such as Werner Herzog, Abel Ferrara, Oliver Stone, Nicolas Cage, and Jeremy Irons reached out from around the world to send Edward R Pressman their eternal gratitude. And following Lou Diamond Phillip's Award, he presented his next film, the world premiere of Santiago Rizzo's autobiographical debut »Quest« – for which its young star, Gregory Kasyan, won the Best Actor 'Seymour Cassel' Award for his breakout performance.
Indie darling & Alum, Lindsay Burge, returned to Oldenburg with »Thirst Street« for which she won the 'Best Actress' Seymour Cassel Award. And 'Best Short' went to »Sur Le Fil« by Luxembourg filmmaking duo Thierry Bessling and Löic Tanson, with a Special Jury Prize awarded to Phillip Andoine's audacious one minute Short film »Vand«.
Oldenburg was wild at heart as icon and global superstar, Nicolas Cage, arrived as the 2016 Tribute Honoree and recipient of the tenth 'Star of Excellence' on the OLB Walk of Fame. Fellow Tribute Honoree, lauded actress Amanda Plummer , also delighted audiences as the offspring of cinema royalty thrilled the crowded theatres. And returning to Oldenburg where he presented his debut feature in 2002, France's child of Nouvelle Vague, Christophe Honoré, was honored with the 2016 Honorary Retrospective Award.
In keeping with its »heart for young filmmakers« (as described by Agnieszka Holland), the world premiere of Benjamin Teske's debut feature »Strawberry Bubblegums« opened the Festival. The Opening Night Gala film touched the hearts of more than a thousand audience members at the EWE Arena, and earned the lead actor, Andre Hennicke, the 'Seymour Cassel Award' for 'Best Actor'. And young French actress, Noémie Merlant, who attended Oldenburg in 2011 to present her first starring role in a feature film, returned with »Twisting Fate« - for which she won the 'Seymour Cassel Award' for 'Best Actress'.
Debut films from Turkey dominated the Closing Night Awards Ceremony, as Emre Konuk's »The Apprentice« won the German Independence Award for 'Best Film' and Ruken Tekes' »The Circle« won for 'Best Short'.
A thrilling start to the 22nd Edition as Elisabeth Scharang's »Jack« screened for the Opening Gala audience of 1,200 at the EWE Area. On the red carpet, international filmmakers included the 2015 Retrospective Honoree, American Rock 'n' Roll rebel filmmaker George Armitage, who attended the Festival with his entire family. The Honorary Tribute was dedicated to the critically acclaimed Golden Globe winner Joanna Cassidy, who received the ninth Star of Excellence on the OLB Walk of Fame.
For the 2nd year, Oldenburg was again honored to host to the esteemed Jury of the European Film Academy who attended to deliberate and announce the five finalists for the 'European Discovery Award'. And in the true spirit of discovery, Tom Sommerlatte - the winner of the 2015 German Independence Award for his debut feature »Summer Downstairs« – was also announced by the EFA Jury as a 'Best Newcomer' finalist for The European Discovery Award at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony.
Martijn De Jong's »Vrij« won 'Best Short Film' in a category that included works from 2nd and 3rd generation filmmakers, Matthew Modine's son, Boman, and Robert Redford's grandson, Dylan. Sarah Silverman won the 'Seymour Cassel Award' for her Outstanding Performance by an actress in »I Smile Back«, and Nikola Rakocevic won best actor for his breakout role in Dusan Milic's »Travelator«.
For the 21st Edition, the Opening Ceremony was held at the EWE Arena. With an audience of over 1,000 attendees, the world premiere of Christian Frosch's »Rough Road Ahead« marked the start to a successful festival.
The 2014 Honorary Retrospective was dedicated to Australian auteur and provocateur, Philippe Mora - who charmed Oldenburg audiences, as did 80s Hollywood icon, Sean Young, who received the eighth Star of Excellence on the OLB Walk of Fame.
Oldenburg was honored to host to the esteemed Jury of the European Film Academy who attended to deliberate and announce the five finalists for the 'European Discovery Award'. EFA Chairwoman, Oscar-winner Agnieszka Holland, announced that Oldenburg was chosen as it's »known for its heart for young filmmakers and for an inspiring and innovative environment.«
And discoveries ruled as the debut by Czech director Michal Samir »Hany« won the German Independence Award for 'Best Film' and Raphaël Neal received a Special Jury Award for his debut »Fever«. Victoria Schulz - the star of the Opening Night film »Rough Road Ahead« - won the 'Seymour Cassel Award' for her outstanding performance as the Festival came full circle.
The Festival celebrated its 20th Anniversary by reflecting upon its past while embracing its future. An Exhibition titled »People & Places« featuring portraits of past guests and honorees taken in unique Oldenburg locales was accompanied by a Collector's Edition photo book of the same name, chronicling years of Festival highlights.
Indie icon, Seymour Cassel, was honored with the Official 'Seal Of the City' for his ongoing support of the City and the Festival over 20 years - during which its international reputation rose to become considered »The European Sundance«.
Female filmmakers were a dominant force, as Lola Randl's »Invention Of Love« opened the Festival, with its star Sunnyi Melles in attendance at Oldenburg's grand State Theatre. The 2013 Retrospective was dedicated to Iranian filmmaker-in-exile, Mania Akbari, marking the first time her revolutionary works had ever been screened in Germany. And Veronica Ferres received the Star of Excellence on the OLB Walk of Fame.
Exciting discoveries were again celebrated as David Perrault's debut »Our Heroes Died Tonight« won 'Best Film'. The International Jury, headed by 2013s Tribute honoree, Robert 'Bobcat' Goldthwait, awarded 'Best German Film' to Tom Lass' »Kaptn Oscar«, for which Martina Schöne-Radunski won the 'The Seymour Cassel Award' for Outstanding Performance.
For the second year running the opening was held at the EWE Arena. The year's opening film »Oh Boy« was a true highlight, as it went on to win all of the German Independence Awards at the 19th Oldenburg International Film Festival. But the success was just starting here. Jan Ole Gerster's gem was invited to many more festivals and won several German Film Awards in 2013.
Head of the festival's first all female jury was a special guest: Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino who brought some true star power to Oldenburg and received her own star on the OLB Walk of Fame. For the first time the retrospective honored Oscar-nominated cinematographer and director Phedon Papamichael. One of the festival's highlights was Butch Walker's prison concert. Walker attended the festival for the screening of a documentary about his life and work, and played a rock show at the festival's JVA screening location.
The festival turned 18. A record-breaking 1300 audience members attended the Opening Night at the EWE Arena. The star on the OLB Walk-of-Fame went to Matthew Modine. Guests of honor were Ted Kotcheff and Roger Fritz and fittingly for an 18th birthday the parties were legendary and the atmosphere was grand.
»Dr. Ketel« by Linus de Paoli received the jury award »German Independence Award – Best German Film«. The »German Independence Award – Audience Award« went to »Happy New Year« by K. Lorrel Manning starring Michael Cuomo. Another highlight was the US-Spanish co-production »The Way« by Emilio Estevez with stars Deborah Kara Unger and Yorick van Wageningen in attendance. »The Way« becomes the first festival film to be screened in Oldenburg's Lamberti-Church. The audience was moved and showed respect for the daring vision with standing ovations after the film.
The year of the frog: The municipal council slashed its support for the festival. Festival organizers and the incredible staff give everything and a bit more to make 2010 as good as previous years despite the cuts. On the first night of the festival it is apparent that they were successful. A stunning array of guests, an enthusiastic audience and an incredibly relaxed, creative and inspiring atmosphere the 2010 edition goes down as one of the best festival years so far.
Jury president Deborah Kara Unger enchants Oldenburg with her glamour and receives a star on the OLB Walk of Fame. Guests of honor Timothy Bottoms and Radley Metzger, charming gentlemen and entertaining stars, give the festival a touch of New Hollywood. The German Independence Awards go to Paul Gordon and Philip Koch. Once again the Oldenburg audience and the festival jury prove that they have a talent for spotting great indie art.
A year of reflection. After the new features and huge names of the past years the festival turned its focus once again to the main feature: The films.
Always question for the nature of independent films, exploring the whole scope of the indie scene the festival's lineup included gems like: Life is Hot in Cracktown, Snow White and Russian Red the award-winning Distanz.
It is good to see the festival not resting on its laurels but instead raising the bar for quality and originality year after year.
The stars never shined brighter for the 15th Edition of the Oldenburg International Film Festival.
Seymour Cassel became immortalized on the Walk of Fame, LeVar Burton, Marius Müller-Westernhagen, Michael Wadleigh, James Toback and Michel Houellebecq made for several highlights each day.
The festival in Oldenburg has achieved star-power and draw that few other indie-fests can claim and at the same time it retained its natural cool and laid-back atmosphere. The big winner of 2008 was Emily Atef, whose »The Stranger in Me« won all three awards.
The year of revolutions. Never before have there been more new features in the history of the festival.
Oldenburg prison is turned into an official festival cinema, a short film award is introduced, for two years the festival will host the Otto Sprenger Award and guest of honor Stacy Keach opens the OLB Walk of Fame where the Star of Excellence will be revealed every year ever since.
The new developments help define the festival's profile and heighten awareness for its established qualities.
Just like independent cinema redefines itself continuously and creates a counterculture to usual film conventions the 2006 festival explored new ways, tested undiscovered terrain and created pluralities.
The selection ranged from Richard Linklater's eagerly awaited Philip K. Dick adaptation »A Scanner Darkly« to the splendid Closing Night with the German premiere of Darren Aronofsky's »The Fountain«. The festival was thus able to showcase once again what it means to be an independent festival. Jerry Schatzberg received the honors of the retrospective as one the great directors of the New Hollywood, who is still lauded today in France for his remarkable European style.
Another aficionado of French cinema is Peter Fleischmann whom the tribute was dedicated to and who is one of the more enigmatic directors of the New German Cinema. The German Independence Awards went to Scott Dacko for »The Insurgents« and Birgit Grosskopf for her debut »Prinzessin«.
No standstill despite prosperity. In 2005 the festival could have taken a relaxed attitude and reaped the rewards of years of hard work. Instead they chose to innovate once again, focussing parts of the programme on documentary and digital filmmaking. The city of Oldenburg returned to the screen once more, as producer/director Christopher Coppola used the festival to tour Oldenburg's surroundings for an episode of his "Biker Chef"-series.
Luke Wilson and Ken Russel brought their star power to Oldenburg and were duly noticed by the media. The awards went out to Catharina Deus for »Die Boxerin« and Marcos Siega's »Pretty Persuasion«. In 2005 neither jury nor audience had it easy to decide such was the quality of that year's film crop.
The next big step. In its eleventh year the festival establishes its presence among the elite of German filmfestivals. The "German Independence Award - Best German Film" is presented by an international jury for the first time. Winner is Andreas Struck with »Sugar Orange«.
Jury-president and guest of honour Tim Blake Nelson presented his »The Grey Zone« at a gala-event in the State Theatre. The audience award went to the Greek production »Hardcore« by Dennis Illiadis. Another highlight was the retrospective, which featured the work of Andrzej Zulawski, whose filmmaking genius receives too little praise these days.
The 10th anniversary of the festival: it was a real celebration of a decade of independent spirit in Oldenburg. More films, stars and parties than ever and with Larry Clark a guest, who electrifies the masses. »Ken Park« is one of most anticipated and most overrun films in festival history.
Filmfest Oldenburg continues the tradition to produce its own against-the-grain projects: 2003 it's the Oldenburg-docu »Let it roll«. The success at the festival is only the first stop on a tour that includes locations such as Berlin and Cannes. It was only fitting for an anniversary event to have truly great cinema: the guest of honor was Philippe de Broca and the epic, yet surreal »Northfolk« won the German Independence Award.
99euro-films make a comeback ? this time their international. The Oldenburg film-festival showcases its creative potential. »The European Project« brings together many long-time friends of the festival and in 2003 it is even invited to the prestigious Locarno festival.
With the opening film the festival returns to its roots: »Mein Bruder der Vampir« is directed by Oldenburg-born Sven Taddicken. »Anarcadium« by Scott Thomas wins the German Independence Award, while the retrospective to Bernard Rose honors once again one of the great individualists of cinema history.
This festival saw the world-premiere of a truly unique film-experience: 99euro-films debuted at the festival and started their success-story from Oldenburg. »Anam« went on to become the first German film to win the German Independence Award.
Ralf Huetner's »Mondscheintarif« opens the festival and Jasmin Tabatabai attends the premiere together with the director. Jim McBride and Ben Gazzara are honorary tribute and retrospective guests. A year before her breakout role in »Bend It Like Beckham« launched her to international stardom, the 18 year-old Keira Knightley came to Oldenburg to present the German Premiere of 2001s »The Hole«.
Benno Fuermann and Christiane Paul open the festival with »Freunde«. The Closing-night sees the German premiere of »Titus«. In between there was a remarkable retrospective for one of Hollywoods greatest: William Wellman.
The tribute was done for Stacy Cochran and her innovative and uncompromising filmmaking. The highlight of the festival is the German movie »Kanak Attack« which draws a huge audience, and Bela B. Felsenheimer returns just for an hour, as he claims, but he stays for three full days of parties and becomes a close friend of the festival.
A year full of surprises: porn-queen Stacy Valentine turns some heads and almost creates a scandal as guest of the »Closeup on Love«-special. Asia Argento comes with a movie and stays for a gig with her band. Ärzte-drummer Bela B. Felsenheimer came, saw, stayed and keeps returning ever since.
John Gallagher and Matthew Modine are welcomed back in Oldenburg and the German Independence Award went to one of the most beautiful films of festival history: »The Invisibles«. With the retrospective one of Europe's great but forgotten directors is rediscovered: the magnificent Harry Kuemel is the guest of honor at the festival.
Never before had there been more guests and more exciting films at the festival. It was the premiere of the German Independence Award and when Till Schweiger arrived, the roads to the cinema had to be closed down. Roberto Faenza, Seymour Cassell and Saskia Reeves attended the festival.
The Closing-night had an Oscar-winner with »Gods and Monsters« and Hans Christian Schmid presented the fascinating »23«. Steve Soderberg's »Out of Sight« celebrated its German Premiere in Oldenburg and Jon Jacobs enchanted the audience with his sexy southern-fairytale »Lucindas Spell«. After five years the festival had made its way into the premiere league of German film festivals.
Friendships start to grow: John Gallagher is in Oldenburg with »The Deli« and often returns as a director, advisor and friend. Peter Koper attends the festival for the second time, and it won't be his last visit. He is one of the guests at the symposium »Independent knows no compromise«.
RP Kahl stars in Oskar Roehler's »Sylvester Countdown« - one year down the road he directs the opening film, also the festival trailer and finally supervises the 99euro-films. »Die Musterknaben« can be seen in Oldenburg - the sequels will create a tradition. But the true highlight of the year was the Tim Hunter retrospective together with a tribute to Iciar Bollain.
The stars grow bigger and the festival becomes more prolific. The attendance of Iris Berben adds a touch of glamour to the festival. James B. Harris and Matthew Modine are guests of honor at the festival and suddenly the film world takes notice of the small town on the Hunte-river.
The films of 1996 tell a story of their own, as the list of highlights is longer than ever before: »Kids Return«, »Habit«, »Die Mutter des Killers« and »Omaha (The Movie)« are the pinnacle of a masterfully programmed festival, which is just carving its niche in the international festival-scene.
»The second year is always the hardest« or so the saying goes. But Frank Oz comes to Oldenburg and Nicolette Krebitz and Jürgen Vogel represent young German cinema, and suddenly optimism turns into euphoria. This spirit helped guide the festival into the realm of the first-tier festivals. The German premieres of »Headless Body in a topless Bar« and »Dolores« were the magnificent film highlights of the second year.
Year One. The future looks bright and promising. The festival starts full of energy with the conviction that everything is possible and succeeds to become a totally unique affair in Germany. Guest stars include Alex Cox and Maria Schrader. »Romeo is bleeding« and »Crooklyn« are the film highlights of the year. The sky is the limit for the young festival organizers, who made the festival a success through hard work and determination.

Actor-writer-director Tyler Perry watched a part of his dream go up in flames Tuesday night.
More than 100 firefighters battled a massive fire at Tyler Perry's studio complex in Atlanta, Ga. According to Atlanta NBC affiliate 11 Alive, one or two buildings on the lot partially collapsed in the blaze.
A 400-seat theater sits on the lot, as well as several sound stages, including the one where Perry makes his popular "Madea" series.
No one was hurt in the fire, but Perry reportedly was at the scene Wednesday morning surveying the damage.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, eyewitnesses spotted the fire from a distance, some of them mistaking it for part of a film shoot.

With "Sucker Punch," Zack Snyder's latest visual spectacle, the director wanted to travel to the opposite end of the spectrum from his all-male testosterone-fest "300." Bringing together elements of Baz Luhrmann's red curtain trilogy and "Inception," this tale of five female inmates in a 1950s mental institution fighting for their freedom in an "Alice in Wonderland"-by-way-of "Sin City" action adventure has been building major buzz since the first footage was shown at Comic-Con earlier this year.
"Sucker Punch" features a comely cast of young actresses, led by Australian actresses Abbie Cornish and Emily Browning, alternately kicking ass in fetish wear and lounging in costumes seemingly leftover after "Burlesque" wrapped.
In order to get his cast in pristine shape, as well as ensure they could believably wield swords, guns and fists-of-fury, Snyder had his leads train with Navy SEALs and the men responsible for choreographing the "Bourne" series five days a week, six hours a day, for three months. When audiences buy a ticket to "Sucker Punch," theyre also getting one for the gun show because these girls got jacked.
U.S. & World
"So much of the training was really enjoyable," Cornish tells PopcornBiz. "Guns, MMA, the wire work, it was all so amazing."
Browning is more willing to admit she had some struggles pushing her body to the limit day after day. "My least favorite [exercise] was the rowing machine. It's my nemesis," Browning sneers. "It makes me dizzy, I can never get my technique right; it was awful."
But she also had triumphs. "My favorite was when I finally got to the point where I could do pull ups," Browning grins. "We'd go into the gym at lunch when we weren't even training and see how many we could do, because it was such a great feeling. Plus, it's tougher for girls because our center of gravity is lower."
"We're just not built up like that," Cornish adds.
"We were!" Browning laughs.
"Oh yeah we were. I remember looking at onset photographs the first week and going, 'My arms are as big as my head,'" Cornish smiles.
"It was cool, as a woman, to be training not to be thinner but to be strong. It was so empowering. There was nothing superficial about it. We were just trying to be as tough and strong as possible."
"Sucker Punch" opens this Friday.

- "There's something about Edward. He's always so… confident. I have a feeling he can take care of himself."
- ―Ben on Edward Cullen[src]
Ben Cheney is a school mate of Bella, and is the boyfriend of Angela Weber in the novels.
He lives on the middle of Russell Avenue, across from Austin Marks, his best friend. His Life and Death counterpart is Becca Cheney.
- Main article: Twilight
Ben was in the group of Forks High School students that went to La Push beach on Saturday due to the sunny change in town. Near the end of Twilight, he and Angela Weber are seen by Bella happily dancing together at prom, in spite of the fact that Angela is much taller than Ben.
Midnight Sun
- Main article: Midnight Sun
In Midnight Sun, Edward and Emmett manipulate Ben to make him pair with Angela for prom: this was to repay Angela for being kind to Bella. The plan worked quite well because Ben already had a crush on her.
Angela and Ben further a relationship which lasts throughout the rest of the series.
New Moon
- Main article: New Moon
In New Moon, Bella and Mike invite their friends to a movie night. Angela and Ben back out at the last minute, because Angela gets the stomach flu and Ben decides to take care of her.
- Main article: Eclipse
Ben and Angela regularly sit with Bella, Edward, and Alice at lunch in Eclipse[1] During Calculus class, he gossips with Mike, Tyler, and Austin about the possibilities of Jacob and Edward fighting, and Ben bets on Edward's winning side, saying that "there is something about him".
Ben also picks up Angela everyday for school in his Dodge Neon, even though she is close enough to walk. In the middle of Eclipse, Angela tells Bella that she will be attending the University of Washington with Ben.
He attends the Cullens' graduation party with Angela as his date.
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
Ben and Angela attend Edward and Bella's wedding at the beginning of Breaking Dawn. Bella deliberately throws the wedding bouquet into Angela's arms, indicating that she wishes them to be the next couple to get married.
Physical appearance
Ben is described as being 5'7" (shorter than Angela), having black hair, golden brown skin, dark brown eyes, and of Asian descent. He also wears glasses.
Personality and traits
Ben loves graphic novels and action movies with good special effects. Edward mentions that Ben is as shy as Angela and kind, but easy to fool. He is one of few male students in school who lack any romantic feelings for Bella.[1]
Angela says that she is glad that Ben has Austin to do "guy stuff" with in Eclipse.
Angela Weber
- Main article: Angela Weber and Ben Cheney
Angela Weber is Ben's girlfriend in the book series (she is dating Eric Yorkie in the films).
They developed a crush on each other in their junior years, but both were too shy to reveal their feelings. With little help from Edward and Emmett, they managed to make Ben willingly ask Angela to be his date to the spring dance. They have been a couple since then.
In Eclipse, she tells Bella that they are both attending the University of Washington after graduation.
Austin Marks
Austin Marks is Ben's best friend. They both share an interest in graphic novels, action movies, indie rock music and video games.
Angela once admits in Eclipse that she is glad that Ben has Austin to do the guy-stuff.
In the Twilight films, Ben was combined with Eric Yorkie to create one character named Eric. His character is also yet to appear in the graphic novels.

Hello all,
Over the last few months, the moderation team has been receiving an increasing number of complaints/messages regarding the current state of the subreddit. Many of the issues brought to our attention were regarding topics such as: reposts/ad nausea (kill screens, decorations, carves…etc), karma farming, low quality posts, and just an overall increase in the toxic behavior between community members.
These complaints have not fallen on deaf ears. The members of the Moderation Team have discussed at great lengths what we overall, as a team, felt was best for the subreddit's current state, and its overall future health/sustainability. We are all extremely passionate about MH:W, and want to do our very best to keep this already great community thriving. We feel transparency/community engagement are of upmost importance. There has been some restructuring in the moderation team, which we feel will help make things going forward A LOT more clear AND consistent.
With that being said, some of the rules have been changed/rewritten to not only make the subreddit a healthier environment, but also to create a more uniform atmosphere. I'm trying to keep this post as brief as possible, so please take the time to read the new rules, which have been updated on both the sidebar, and the wiki. We understand not everyone will agree with the changes, but overall, we have come to the conclusion that they will be overall best for the subreddit as a whole.
Obviously with any type of rule change(s), adjustments may have to be made on a case by case basis. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions on how to make something better, PLEASE SEND IT TO US VIA MODMAIL. We are fully committed to this community, and encourage you to send us your feedback (good or bad).
The last thing we want to discuss is the current flair system. Our original attempts of trying to use an autoflair system did not work out too well. *Starting in approximately 1-2 weeks*, we will be implementing a MANUAL post flair system. When making a post, Users will have to manually type a flair in brackets such as "
In closing, we want to thank you, the community members, for your continued support. We expect there might be a few bumps in the road ahead, but rest assured, our dedicated Moderation Team is here to help! Please remember, always be respectful to your fellow hunters and thank you for your patience.
The Moderation Team
Here are the new rules:
1. Submissions must directly relate to MHW
Topics that are not related to Monster Hunter: World will be removed. This includes posts that are low effort and attempts at "Karma Farming" (See rule 5). Meme posting is totally acceptable, but it must be evident some sort of effort went into making it. We fully encourage high quality (Dank) memes, as it can sometimes be the best content on the sub. Low quality memes are pretty obvious attempts at Karma Farming, and are subject to removal at moderator discretion.
2. Posts and Comments Must Be in English
We understand that MonsterHunterWorld has a worldwide fan base, but all posts and comments must be communicated via the English language.
3. Use the Search Bar First: DO NOT REPOST
Do not repost content that already exists on MonsterHunterWorld. This also includes posting topics that have been discussed in the past. Please take the time to use the search bar if you have a question. It's likely it may have been asked before. Doing so drastically reduces clutter on the subreddit's feed. Submissions that violate this rule will be removed. Multiple violations will result in a temporary/permanent ban (depending on severity).
4. Be Respectful. "Toxicity" Will NOT Be Tolerated!
While we have no problem with disagreements/discussions, the following behavior will NOT be tolerated: Insults, inciting pointless arguments, trolling, hate speech, discrimination, witch hunts against other members, etc. Posts that contain identifying information, including guesses at other party's online/real ID's, will also be removed and reported to reddit admins. Uncivil/toxic behavior of any kind will be removed at moderator discretion. Repeated offenses WILL result in a ban.
5. Low Effort/Karma Farming Posts Are NOT Allowed
Content or information that does not contribute to a meaningful discussion, or attempts at "Karma Farming" will be removed at moderator discretion. This includes, but is not limited to: Carves & Quest Results, Kill Screens, Decorations, Minor Achievements (trophies), Crafted Equipment collections, Investigations, pictures of TV/Monitor Screens,…etc. This content belongs on r/Memehunter or
r/MHKillscreen. Multiple offenses of this rule may result in a temporary/permanent ban.
6. Self-Advertising, Monetized Content, or Clickbait
No spam or clickbait content is allowed. These will be removed immediately. Self-Promotion that is thoughtful and well received, may be posted at a ratio of 9:1. Other self-promotion will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Twitch streams are not allowed under any circumstances without the express permission of the moderation team. Asking for money, donations, "social media follows" are not allowed. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a ban.
7. Posts Related to Cheating/Hacking/Game Mods
We have a zero-tolerance policy on posts that share/encourage hacks or cheating. These posts will be removed and you will be permanently banned. THE ONLY POSTS ALLOWED IN THIS CATEGORY ARE TRANSMOG AND QOL CONTENT! This will be enforced strictly. Prohibited posts & COMMENTS include: no links to ANY sites related to modding, damage mods, decoration drop rate alterations, or ANY OTHER GAME ALTERATION THAT MIGHT RESULT IN AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. There are many subreddits dedicated to such topics.
8. Spoilers
We do not allow unmarked Spoilers pertaining to story content in the title, body or comment section.
9. LFG Posts
All LFG posts should be posted on MonsterHunterClan, our partner subreddit, unless there is an event megathread that explicitly states that LFG is allowed inside that thread. Any LFG posts will be removed.
10. Art Submissions Must Adhere to Specific Criteria
When you create an art submission, please follow these simple guidelines:
(a) Artist's name in title;
(b) Link to source in thread;
(c) Post flaired as Art.

Culberson enters lineup in relief of Tulowitzki
DENVER -- Halfway through an unusual season-opening 10-game stretch without an off-day, manager Walt Weiss on Saturday gave shortstop Troy Tulowitzki a break from the lineup. Against the D-backs in the second game in a set of three to open the home portion of Colorado's season, Charlie Culberson made his first start this year, filling in at short and batting eighth.
Tulowitzki came out for Culberson in the bottom of the seventh inning of Friday's 12-2 victory, but there are no apparent doubts regarding his health. The game was 9-1 when Tulowitzki left -- and 10-1 after Culberson was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
"I try to look at the schedule about a week at a time for certain guys," Weiss said. "I knew I wanted to give Tulo a day, probably this series or next series. I'm just picking the night to do it."
Muscle injuries in his lower body limited Tulowitzki to 47 games in 2012, but he rebounded with 126 games in 2013, though he missed nearly a month after breaking a rib on a fielding play.
"We talk almost daily, Tulo and I, as far as how he's feeling," Weiss said. "We did it last year, too. It felt like it went really well. We were on the same page. He ended up getting a broken rib, but that didn't have anything to do with some of the problems he's had in the past. I felt like that went really well, so we're taking the same approach this year."
Culberson is on the club as in infielder, though 27 of his 40 Major League appearances in the field have been in the outfield. As a Minor Leaguer, all but three of his 723 appearances have come in the infield, with 424 games at second base, 163 at shortstop, and 133 at third.
"He played a lot of short last year in Triple-A," Weiss said. "If you ask him, he'll probably tell you it's the spot he feels most comfortable at. He did a good job this spring. That's one of the reasons he broke camp with us, but his ability to play multiple positions and to be able to play shortstop on top of it."

Turning the stereotype of cranky seniors on its head, new international research concludes that people not only become kinder, more conscientious and agreeable with age, they also seek those same qualities in a mate.
The study, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, is the first to document universal shifts in attraction that occur over a lifespan, with the findings holding true across countries and cultures.
While trendiness and superficially sexy looks get tongues wagging among younger adults, researchers uncovered a shift in desire toward more "communal" traits — think sensitivity, friendliness and compassion — with the progression of time.
"It seems to happen gradually: for every year you age, the more you like these features (in a partner)," says lead author Claudia Brumbaugh. "This is yet another way we focus on the positive as we get older."
The analysis included data from nearly 17,900 heterosexual adults worldwide — including 1,867 from Canada — who ranged in age from 18 right through their 90s.
Each of the participants took an online attraction survey in which roughly 100 photos of the opposite sex were viewed and rated for appeal (each image was previously coded by the researchers as embodying certain physical or psychological traits). Participants were additionally asked to rate their general attraction to various partner traits, such as the magnetism of confidence or intelligence. And about half the sample took a short test to analyze their own personalities.
The results were compelling. Not only did age correlate positively with agreeableness and conscientiousness, as in previous research, it was clear that those same traits became more attractive in mates over time — and most pronouncedly among women.
In almost every region, female participants, with age, showed increased preference for men who looked sensitive, conventional, formal, intelligent, well-groomed and who were smiling. Across countries, they also showed decreasing preference for men who had a thinner frame, and who looked sexually suggestive and trendy.
The researchers likewise documented an age-related shift in men's attraction to communal traits, though it was weaker and less consistent across cultures.
For Brumbaugh, an assistant professor of psychology at the City University of New York's Queen's College, the results represent a bit of a chicken-or-the-egg dilemma.
"We know people become more agreeable in their old age," she says, noting that elderly people demonstrate a greater tendency for forgiveness, a higher likelihood of responding to happy faces over sad ones and greater sensitivity to benevolence. "But our findings bring into question why that happens: Do we just become that way naturally or do we become that way because the other sex demands it?"
Brumbaugh believes at least part of it is evolutionary, as conscientious mates are better suited to care-giving in the event of a partner's deteriorating health. But she says it's also possible people adjust their behaviours over their lifespan to make themselves more appealing.
"Either way," says Brumbaugh, "becoming nicer and more communal over time is a good thing."
