Saint Louis clinches share of A-10 title
Saint Louis clinches share of A-10 title
Mar. 09, 2013
ST. LOUIS (AP) — No matter how flawless a win appears, coaches always seem to have something to quibble about. Not so much this time.
"It's never perfect, but that was fun to watch," interim coach Jim Crews said after No. 16 Saint Louis trounced La Salle in the second half and clinched a share of the Atlantic 10 title with a 78-54 victory on Saturday.
"Really, they kept getting better and better, and that's unusual. That's very unusual," he said.
Dwayne Evans had 16 points and 17 rebounds for Saint Louis, which led by just two points at halftime and then made 17 of 20 shots. Kwamain Mitchell had 19 points and six assists on Senior Day to help the Billikens (24-6, 13-3 A-10) win their first conference title since 1970-71 in the Missouri Valley and clinch the top seed in the A-10 tournament next week in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"Everyone made plays," Mitchell said. "We kept pushing it and pushing it, and we came up with some great shots."
Rob Loe matched his career best with 20 points, hitting all seven shots. The Billikens shot 58 percent overall, one game after shooting a season-worst 30 percent in an overtime loss at Xavier.
"I couldn't be more pleased or proud or tickled for these guys to win a championship," Crews said. "It's hard to win a game, much less a championship."
Saint Louis has won 12 of 13 under Crews, who made it a smooth transition after taking over for the late Rick Majerus with no assurances past the end of the season. The Billikens can take the title outright if VCU loses at Temple on Sunday.
Seniors Cory Remeken, Cody Ellis and Mitchell were among the first to snip the nets.
"I'm sure he's proud right now," Ellis, an Australian import whose parents made the trip for the last two games, said in reference to Majerus. "He's watching this from somewhere. He's been a big influence on this team."
Tyrone Garland had 15 points off the bench for La Salle (21-8, 11-5). The Explorers entered the day in second place after winning seven of eight, and had been 2-0 in the Chaifetz Arena before absorbing a 24-point loss that was the school's worst of the season.
"That was about as bad a beating as you could take in the second half," La Salle coach John Giannini said. "I'm really disappointed with the way we played. They took it to us. They won a lot of individual battles — maybe all of them in the second half."
Ramon Galloway, who leads the Explorers with a 17.8-point average, was just 3 for 12 and had eight points.
"They did all the right stuff, they were in the right place," Galloway said. "It was just one of those days."
La Salle is second on the A-10 in free-throw shooting at 75 percent but missed seven of its first 10 attempts and finished 6 for 15. Plus, the team was just 2 for 15 on 3-pointers.
Saint Louis was 1 for 9 from long range in the first half. But it made its first two after the break, with Loe and Mike McCall Jr. connecting during a 10-2 run for an 11-point cushion with just under 12 minutes left. La Salle got no closer than nine points before the lead grew, and grew, and grew.
Coming off a 29-point effort in La Salle's home finale, Galloway was a focus of the Saint Louis defense and at times forced things, making only one of nine shots in the first half. Galloway was 19 for 30 overall the previous two games, including 7 for 14 from 3-point range.
La Salle scored seven straight points to go up 27-23 with just under four minutes left in the half. After a timeout, Saint Louis pounded it inside the rest of the half with Evans, who had missed four of his first five shots, scoring the last six for a 31-29 lead that left him just two points of a double-double.
Ellis missed his first three shots, extending a two-game drought to 0 for 18, before hitting a layup late in the half.
Mills had 10 points at the half, just his third time in double figures the last seven games.

The Maryland Stadium Authority's decision to prohibit smoking at both Camden Yards and at M&T Bank Stadium is great news for sports fans ("State Authority bans smoking at M&T Stadium, Oriole Park," Feb. 26).
Secondhand smoke causes serious disease and premature death among nonsmokers, and there is no safe level of exposure. A study conducted at the University of Maryland Baltimore County found that even outdoors, nonsmokers up to a distance of 23 feet away or more are still exposed to carcinogens.
With spring training underway, now is the perfect time for fans who use tobacco to quit. The Maryland Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, is available 24 hours a day and offers free smoking cessation services, including free nicotine patches or gum while supplies last.

Marian University climbed to #25 in the U.S. News & World Report 2014 rankings of the top colleges in the Midwest, released earlier this week. Since 2011, the Catholic institution serving 2,600 students on its campus located 10 minutes west of downtown Indianapolis has gone from #41 to #25, climbing steadily each year. The 16-point gain between 2011 and 2014 is the largest among U.S. News & World Report's listing of Midwest Colleges, matched only by Central Methodist University in Missouri. Only one other college on the list recorded a double-digit gain during that timeframe.
Last month, Affordable Colleges Online ranked Marian University #10 out of Indiana's 27 colleges and universities in terms of Return of Investment. That survey attempts to rank the value of a college degree from various institutions, taking into account the cost of tuition and average salaries of alumni, among other factors.
"Marian University is riding a wave of momentum, with record enrollment, new facilities, and successful fundraising campaigns," Marian University President Daniel J. Elsener said. "But more importantly, we're improving in terms of quality. These recent survey results reveal that third parties perceive that a Marian University education continues to become more valuable with each passing year. That's an important message for parents and students who are committed to investing in a high quality education."
Marian University reported record enrollment for its Fall Semester, with more than 2,600 total students. The university also welcomed its largest freshman class in its 76-year history this month.
In August, Marian University opened its College of Osteopathic Medicine. It is Indiana's second medical school, and the first to open in 110 years. Next week, the university will break ground on a new student center, slated to open in fall 2014.
Marian University captured the NAIA national football championship in 2012. Its cycling program has amassed 22 national championships over the years.

Commission voting on plan to limit hatchery salmon
By JEFF BARNARD
Of the Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — A state proposal to stop stocking hatchery salmon in a few coastal rivers has not gone over well with some of the anglers who fish those rivers, or some county officials.
The Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan covers salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout in 50 coastal river basins, from Port Orford to Tillamook Bay. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission is scheduled to vote on the proposal Friday in Salem.
Wild salmon and steelhead runs are generally healthy on the coast. But on a few rivers, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wants to stop stocking hatchery fish to reduce the risk wild fish won't survive into the next century, said Tom Stahl, conservation and recovery program manager for the department. Those hatchery fish would be released into other rivers, with the emphasis on recreational fisheries.
"We are trying to make a balance between conservation and utilization that will provide some certainty in the future," he said.
Hatcheries have long been used to make up for declines in wild fish from habitat losses. Research in recent years has shown that hatchery fish do not survive as well in the ocean or reproduce as well in the wild as wild fish, and they can crowd wild fish out of limited habitat.
Some anglers and officials in Coos and Douglas counties opposed the plan, questioning the premise that hatchery fish pose a risk to wild fish. They said hatchery fish make an important economic contribution to the region.
"The justification for the reductions in hatchery fish is based on theoretical ideology that may have no application to our current hatchery practices, or based on streams in our areas," said a letter to the department signed by leaders of the South Coast Angler's STEP Association and members of the Coos County Commission.
The Association of Northwest Steelheaders, a statewide group representing anglers, grudgingly endorsed the plan.
"We could argue forever over the details and never move forward," resources director Ian Fergusson wrote in a letter to the commission. "We believe the plan represents a modest move toward improved conservation and a modest improvement in harvest opportunity."
The Native Fish Society, a conservation group dedicated to the protection of wild fish, said a review by a panel of scientists they commissioned found the plan offered little real benefit for wild fish.
"The plan acknowledges that the most pervasive factor limiting wild fish is habitat degradation, but provides absolutely no direction for what has to be fixed," executive director Mike Moody wrote.

Warnings over Scottish west coast prawn fishing
West coast fishermen have warned that larger trawlers from Scotland's east coast threaten this year's prawn fishing in the Minch.
They fear the EU limit on the time vessels are permitted to fish will be reached earlier than normal and the fishery will be closed by September.
Western Isles Fishermen's Association said management measures should have been put in place.
The Scottish government said it was aware of the concerns.
Association secretary Duncan MacInnes said the government had not carried out a risk assessment of the implications of allowing larger vessels into the Minch.
West coast fishermen have concerns they will not be allowed to catch their full quota.
The Scottish government said it was aware of industry concerns about "unusually intense" fishing off the west of Scotland and possible implications for the fishing effort - the number of days boats are allowed at sea.
A spokesman said a lack of prawns in North Sea fishing grounds had caused some displacement of fishing activities into the west.
He said Marine Scotland was monitoring the situation carefully.
The spokesman added: "The issue was discussed at the meeting of the Fisheries Management and Conservation Group last week and Marine Scotland has agreed to take forward discussions with industry experts on any likely action to mitigate the situation."

Concert by World Renowned Scratch DJ Will Feature Inflatable Space Pods, Along with State of the Art Wireless Headphones Provided by Sennheiser

Montreal – July 14, 2011 – Audio manufacturer Sennheiser announced that Sennheiser artist Kid Koala will be presenting an interactive multimedia concert experience between July 15 and 17 at the Biosphère, located within Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal. The immersive headphone concert event, part of Kid Koala's Space Cadet Headphone Tour, is being presented by OSHEAGA as part of OSHEAGA ARTS and will feature inflatable 'space pods' fitted with state of the art wireless headphones provided by Sennheiser.
Kid Koala -- a world-renowned scratch DJ hailing from Montreal -- will perform on a piano and seven turntables. Since there is no traditional PA system to speak of during the performances, headphones will play a central role in the listening experience. Each audience member will be set up with individual headphone listening stations, complete with a pair of Sennheiser RS 116 open-air wireless headphones. Sennheiser's RS series wireless headphones were chosen for their ability to deliver a full frequency range of uncompressed audio with no coloration.
"The music for the Space Cadet Headphone Tour is quite cinematic and full of nuance," commented Kid Koala. "Headphones were the best way to present that detail in the sound. When I use in ear monitors (IEMs), I use the Sennheiser G2 system and it performs well. So when it came time to decide what to equip the audience with, we tested all the products and ended up using the best: Sennheiser."
Compared to a conventional concert using a live P.A. system, the headphone concert is unique because it enables each audience member to hear the exact same thing at the same time. In a typical concert environment, different frequencies reach different parts of the venue at different times. For example, those seated in the mezzanine of a venue -- where the ceilings are typically lower -- may not hear the highest frequencies and also be subject to exaggerated lower frequencies. Since the audience headphone mix comes straight from the Front of House stereo output, it is a more precise sonic reflection of what the artist intended.
An inspiring venue to accompany great sound
The event will be held at the Biosphère -- a spectacular event venue and an environment museum within Montreal's Parc Jean-Drapeau. The Biosphère -- which was originally the vision of Buckminster Fuller -- has been an architectural landmark in Montreal since Expo 67. The Environment Museum provides insight and exhibits on important environmental issues, and the facility incorporates green technology such as wind turbines, green roofs, a geothermal system, marsh wastewater treatment, and solar panels. The Space Cadet Gallery -- which attendees can visit prior to the show -- features Space Plant Sculpture installations, an interactive Music Spaceship Console, even a Space Cadet Soundtrack Cassette Jukebox.
"Sennheiser is proud to play an integral role in this unique, multimedia concert experience," commented Anne Joyce, Marketing Director of Sennheiser Canada. "With 'Space Cadet,' Kid Koala is enabling fans to experience the music on many different sensory levels, and is pushing the boundaries of the traditional concert experience."

SW, Highland girls to tip off season against each other today
The 2011-12 high school girls basketball season tips off today with two Nolan County teams set to face off against each other.Class 3A Sweetwater will entertain Class 1A Highland at 6:30 p.m. at Mustang Gym, right after a JV contest between the two schools at 5 p.m.Today's game marks the debut of new Sweetwater girls coach Candice Wyatt, who was hired in May fol-lowing the resignation of ex-coach Jerry McSherry. Six players return from a team which finished just below .500 (16-17) overall but was only 1-7 in district. Sweetwater is hoping that experience will help it contend for a playoff berth in a district that features a pair of preseason top-20 teams — No. 16 Brownwood and No. 1 Wylie, the defending Class 3A state champion.Sweetwater's 16 wins last year were the most since 2006 when it was 20-11. Sweetwater's last playoff appearance was in 2005.Highland lost 57-45 in its 2010 opener to Sweetwater, but the Lady Hornets would eventually advance to the Class 1A playoffs for the 10th straight year, getting to the regional semifinals under coach Ryan Dollar with wins over Robert Lee, Wink and Bronte before lo-sing to Newcastle. Several of those players return from a team that finished with a 22-12 overall record and was 10-2 in district play.As a result, Highland en-ters 2011 with high expec-tations for another playoff run and this year's team has earned a preseason No. 18 ranking, five spots above district rival Roby.

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Last year, along about this time, I wrote the story of how I met Santa Claus right in my own kitchen. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. Anyway, I was in the second grade.
It was Christmas Eve, and as usual, I couldn't sleep. I heard men's voices on the first floor, so I decided to sneak down the stairs to see who was there. If I leaned over the railing, I could look into the kitchen where a man was talking to my father. I leaned over the railing all right, and just about fell head first onto the floor below.
Sitting at the kitchen table, his red coat and big black belt hanging over the chair behind him, was Santa Claus, eating a ham sandwich I helped my little sister make for him before we went to bed. The jolly old elf was staring right at me. I was caught in the act, red-handed. I couldn't escape, and I thought my life was ruined forever.
But no. Santa was a kind old soul and he invited me in to say hello. I was speechless. My dad and Santa were friends. I had no idea. After he finished his sandwich, he wished us a goodnight, and then stopped at my friend Brian's house a couple of doors down. He even went up to his room to wish him a Merry Christmas.
Nothing could have been more exciting. As far as Brian and I were concerned, our life was perfect. Santa came to our houses on Christmas Eve and visited us personally. I didn't think anything could be cooler than that.
A couple of days later, I wrote Santa a letter thanking him for taking the time to visit. And I think I said something about how glad I was to meet him. He didn't answer, but I didn't expect that he would. I was sure he got millions of letters from kids all over the world, and he didn't have time to answer them all.
When we returned to school after the New Year, we told that story to everyone. The sad thing was, nobody believed us. We were the laughing stock of the first and second grade. I went home and told my dad, and all he said was, "It's best to keep some things to yourself, son. You have to admit, if one of your friends told you that story, you'd have a hard time believing it, too."
He was right, it did sound like an awful tall tale. But it was true, and I never backed down, no matter how much the other kids laughed at me. Even my teacher said that Brian and I had "overactive" imaginations.
Well, as the saying goes, "Every dog has his day." And about a week before Christmas of the following year, I had mine, and it was sweet.
It happened the day I took my little sister to the local department store so she could visit Toyland and sit in Santa's lap to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. My classmates, Pookie Grossberg and Louie Hammerman, who later became "Louie the Lip," were also waiting in line to see Santa. I remember hoping that Santa would remember me, but I didn't hope too much. He met so many kids. Why would he remember me? I thought.
As it turned out, Santa did not disappoint me. When it was our turn in line, he looked at me and said, "How ya doin' sport? Good to see you again. I got your letter. Thanks a lot." I said, "Hi, Santa! Good to see you again, too. And you're quite welcome." Then he looked at my sister and said, "And who's this? I bet this is the best sandwich maker in the whole world." Then he picked her up and sat her on his lap. She was so dumbfounded she couldn't talk. She just hugged him and giggled. Santa told her that he had never had a ham sandwich that tasted so good.
Then Santa said the magic words, "Why don't you give me a minute or two with your sister? If I have time, I'll stop by and see you on Christmas Eve." I said, "Sure thing Santa. See you soon."
Every kid in that line looked at me as if I were a rock star. "Wow! He does know Santa!" Pookie Grossberg exclaimed. "Yeah, he wasn't lying," Louie Hammerman agreed. I had been vindicated, and it felt good.
As it happened, I missed Santa's visit that year. I must have fallen asleep. However, a note on the kitchen table the next morning was a testament to Santa keeping his word. It said, "Sorry I was so late. Thanks a lot for the sandwich. I hope you like your new bicycle. See you next year." And it was signed - Santa.
I'll never forget meeting Santa. He reminded me a lot of another friend of my dad's. His name was Mr. Vogel. He was retired. Once in awhile dad would take us over to his house to visit him. His wife always had fresh made cookies to give us. He, too, was a kind soul, just like Santa. Anyway - meeting Santa was one of the highlights of growing up in a system we can't understand.

Anyone trying to interpret the post in a way that made sense would consider the deadliness on a per-(criminal-)incident or per-(criminal-)user basis.
Other than the few recent spree shootings, "Assualt Weapons" are hardly ever used in the vast majority of homicides.
If certain conveniences of hunting could be traded for an end to spree shootings, or even a halving of them, I'm sure many would leap at the chance.
You keep ignoring the many hunting rifles that are out there that would be banned by a "all semi-automatic, with detachable magazine" ban. How is a the BAR with a 2-4 round magazine I linked more deadly than a bolt action rifle with a detachable magazine? I have asked you this several times in this thread, but you keep ignoring it. Even Diane Fienstein with her new proposed AWB has exemptions. I do find it funny that she needed 100 pages out of 122 for the exmptions.
I repeat myself: if you are using the "but where do you draw the line" cliche to pre-empt the question of whether there should even be a line, then that is the fallacy of Loki's Wager. Where to draw the line is a valid question, but only after it has been decided whether the prototype "assault rifle" (whatever that may be) is deserving of a ban.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A lawyer for two Arizona gun dealers is arguing that the Obama administration overstepped its legal authority when it required dealers in southwestern border states to report when customers buy multiple high-powered rifles.
Richard Gardiner told a federal appeals court Wednesday that the directive requires gun dealers to create a records system, and the government has no authority to require that.
Justice Department lawyer Michael Raab says sellers should be able to determine by the manufacturer and model number if a particular rifle is covered by the requirement.
At issue is a 2011 regulation on gun sellers in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Sellers there are required to report to the federal government when anyone buys two or more semi-automatic rifles of a certain type within a five-day period.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Spaghetti with Shrimp, Broccolini and Basil
- Jenny
I think you've had weeks like this. Tired of being the only person who attacks the Sisyphean piles of clothes around the house, you begin the week by deciding to go on a laundry strike, a job action somewhat thwarted by the realization that you are the only person disturbed by the absence of clean socks, as others simply turn to flip flops.
Next you volunteer to "watch the kids" backstage during the middle school play, which devolves into two hours of sheer terror as you attempt to turn a child dressed as a feather duster into a human, which involves approximately 35 safety pins in the pitch dark, and shove a 13-year-old boy wearing large furry gloves into a tux jacket two minutes before their next respective scenes, tasks for which you were given four minutes of training and occurring while another child, pantless and about to go on stage, informs you that she has lost her skirt.
You put too much meat in a Bolognese.
All the while, the mid-career butterflies beat endlessly against you, causing no fatal blows, but reminding you one smack at a time that your professional destiny is no longer really under your control.
No? Well that's okay, you can make TasteFood's Spaghetti with Shrimp, Broccolini and Basil anyway!
Too tired to think about planning meals last Sunday, I arrived at this recipe by turning the fish section of the recipes over to the incipient (last seen gnawing on a lamb chop for the first time in her life at a food52 potluck, so irresistible was it) and she picked two dishes. I lacked a crucial ingredient for one, which I will feature next week, but dug right into this pasta.
I do not think I will be hurting the feelings of the incredibly gifted TasteFood by pointing out that this dish is not exactly revelatory. Most of us at some point have probably thrown some shrimp and vegetables into pasta to create an instant meal in a bowl, and know that crushed red pepper flakes are the secret to whipping a simple dish into a bit of a frenzy.
But I loved the reminder of this technique, bolstered by the broccolini, a vegetable I tend to forget about and am always happy to have land in front of me. Further, this is a dish that someone in your house, even a kid, can whip up for you if you've managed to, say, end up on a train that "will be moving shortly."
This is one of those dishes that require little mise-en-place -- you really can just keep opening cans, pulling out jars and rinsing off your shrimp as things sizzle in the pan. I used more shrimp than the recipe called for, simply because I did not weigh them as I grabbed them, and I recommend against this, because they crowded my dish.
What I would suggest however is doubling the broccolini, because it is almost impossible to have too much of it, and it cooks down a bit in all of this. I also prefer closer to a heaping teaspoon of red pepper flakes in the beginning, but that is totally to taste.
Clean up for this is easy -– especially if you make someone else do it -– and I was left with two healthy servings for sack lunch, which is an excellent way to start the week.
Spaghetti with Shrimp, Broccolini and Basil by TasteFood
- 1 pound spaghetti or linguine
- Salt
- Exrta-virgin olive oil
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- 3/4 pounds medium shrimp, peeled with tail shells intact, deveined
- 3/4 pounds broccolini, ends trimmed, cut in 1 inch pieces
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 28 ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of sugar, to taste
- 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus extra for serving
- 1/2 cup whole basil leaves (torn in half if large)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat one tablespoon olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in one layer. Cook until pink on both sides and just cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate.
- Add one tablespoon olive oil to same skillet. Add broccolini and sprinkle with one teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Sauté until crisp tender. Transfer broccolini to another plate.
- Add one tablespoon olive oil to skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon black pepper. Simmer 10 minutes, breaking tomatoes apart with a spoon. Taste and if necessary add a pinch of sugar. Stir in shrimp and broccoli; remove from heat. Add spaghetti and toss to combine.
- Transfer spaghetti to a serving bowl. Scatter cheese and basil leaves over pasta and toss one more time. Add a grinding of black pepper. Serve along with extra Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Oscar Futures: Is Les Miserables a Game-Changer?
Also, Jessica Chastain shakes up the race.
Every week between now and January 10, when the nominations are announced, movies and stars will help themselves — or sometimes, hurt themselves — in the Oscar race. Vulture's Oscar Futures will listen for insider gossip, comb the blogs, and out-and-out guess when necessary to track who's up, who's down, and who's currently leading the race for a coveted nomination.
Let's check out the chart:
Les Miserables. It finally screened last weekend, and yup, this sure to be monster hit is our new front-runner. It does have its detractors, and not everybody is going to be in the tank for a super-long, sung-through musical, but those non-fans will be split among more sober competitors like Argo and Lincoln, leaving Les Miz as the field's ginormous epic of choice.
Zero Dark Thirty. Also UP this week — though perhaps not as high up as the emotional Les Miz — is Kathryn Bigelow's strong procedural thriller about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Critics are falling for this one in a big way, and year-end laurels will certainly help boost its case for a Best Picture nod.
Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty). Guess who's back? But Bigelow's ascendance means someone must fall out of this category, and Ben Affleck, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hooper are already absolute locks … aren't they?
David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook). Silver Linings has been compared to As Good As It Gets, another comedy that managed a Best Picture nomination and a Best Actress winner … and yet, remember that James L. Brooks couldn't crack the Best Director category that year. There is new buzz that in an increasingly crowded field of Big Movies, Russell may find himself the odd man out.
Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables). Jackman really delivers here in a role that asks more of him than any he's tackled so far. It's such a strong, arduous, leave-it-all-on-the-screen performance that he's got to be considered a real threat here now.
Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained). Django will start screening for guild audiences this weekend, though we've spoken to some sources who've already seen it … and they whisper that the major awards play here is DiCaprio in Supporting, not Foxx in lead (though he's said to be solid).
Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty). This motherfucker came on strong after Zero screened last weekend. Chastain gets to be tenacious, she gets to curse, and she gets to cry. If her character had some more backstory to play, it'd be the sort of performance that wins Oscars, but certainly, she's nipping now at Jennifer Lawrence's heels.
Helen Mirren (Hitchcock). Hitchcock underperformed expectations in limited release and suffered through some high-profile pans. Exit Mirren, enter Chastain?
Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables). There's new talk of Redmayne stealing into this category as the romantic Les Miz hero Marius, and his big number, "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables," has had audiences applauding.
Russell Crowe (Les Miserables). Redmayne will face some competition from his co-star Crowe, whose singing voice (more rock than opera) is already proving contentious among the Les Miz faithful. Still, even if he's not the standout in this jam-packed cast, Crowe necessarily provides an anchoring screen presence.
Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables). It's over.
Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty). There was some buzz on this supporting performance, especially after Ehle's vital work in last year's Contagion, but we're not sure there's enough here to compete with the showy roles that are certain to be nominated.

Bonnie Wright travels to Senegal to meet families affected by the food crisis in West Africa
Last week, British actor Bonnie Wright, best known for her role in the Harry Potter films, travelled to Senegal with Oxfam to draw attention to the growing humanitarian crisis in the country and to the wider food crisis across the Sahel region of West Africa.
More than 18 million people in nine countries across the region are threatened by food shortages, including 1 million children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. With the next harvests not due until September and October, the region is now entering the worst of the crisis.
In Senegal there are 850,000 people suffering from severe food shortages. Despite the appearance of green, lack of rain last year in southern parts of the country led to a poor harvest with people exhausting their stock of food before the planting season had begun. With the lean season bought forward by two months, there are now three further months with a total absence of food.
As the crisis hits its peak, actress Bonnie Wright visited Kedougou, an area in Southern Senegal where Oxfam are working, to meet vulnerable families who are now counting on humanitarian assistance as their main means of survival.
Bonnie Wright, said: "When I arrived in Senegal it was hard to see that this was a country where thousands of people are suffering from extreme hunger. Where you may expect the landscape to be dry and dusty, in fact everywhere was green and lush. I quickly learnt however that this green was hiding the reality, a deep seated hunger that was so present in the lives of the families I spoke to".
In the Kolda and Kedougou regions in the South of Senegal, Oxfam has launched a program to distribute cash to families that are most vulnerable, giving them a chance to buy food in local markets, use for health care or for planting seeds.
Ms. Wright continued: "From what I learnt from the people I met, cash transfers enable families to spend the money in the way they need, providing longevity. I hope that with public support Oxfam can continue to help people in these moments and tackle the underlying causes of the crisis to help prevent them happening again.
Mamadou Biteye, who is leading Oxfam's emergency response in West Africa said: "This trip with Bonnie Wright came at the time that we really need to raise awareness of the extreme situation in Senegal and across the whole of the Sahel region. Such support is vital for us to step up a gear, stop people starving now, and help build them a better future."
Oxfam has launched an appeal and is aiming to reach 1.8 million people with emergency assistance across Senegal, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and the Gambia.
Notes to editors
The UN estimates that across the Sahel:
- More than 18 million people are in need of assistance
- Over 1 million children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition
- $1.64 billion is needed to tackle the crisis 2012 Sahel crisis. So far $792 million has been committed, according to the UN's Financial Tracking Service.
- The two biggest donors to the Sahel Food Crisis to date have been the European Commission and United States.

Who: Garrett Ridenhour
Where: Stanfield, North Carolina
What: '71 Plymouth GTX
This is the second time that this '71 has been in the Ridenhour family. His father was its second owner, who sold it in 1979 when Garrett was just nine years old. Garrett saw it advertised for sale over the years, but it wasn't until 2005 that he could finally buy it and bring it home again.
Originally a Tor Red car, it had been repainted several times, including a Starsky & Hutch-style paint scheme, and one with murals front and back. It's now Tor Red again, with its GTX badging intact.
Underneath, its 440 Magnum—standard engine in the GTX from '67-'71—has been treated to a full rebuild, along with headers and Mopar Performance dress-up items. At each corner, big billet wheels and wide rubber fill B-Body's fenderwells even more than 60-series bias-plies ever could!
From Slant 6 To 446
Who: Ronnie Stahl
Where: Millersburg, Pennsylvania
What: '69 Dodge Swinger
Ronnie's Swinger was an original Slant-Six–powered A-Body that he upgraded with a 446-inch RB Wedge. Starting with a 440 block bored out .030-inch, he added 440Source aluminum heads (reworked by Schorr Performance), an Edelbrock Torker II intake with an 850-cfm carburetor, MSD ignition, and a big Comp Cams camshaft. Backing it is a built 727 with a Cheetah shifter, and a 3.91-geared 83⁄4 rear end.
It's also got a big Six Pack–style hoodscoop, Cragar wheels on BFGoodrich rubber at each corner, a Grant GT wheel, custom buckets and AutoMeter gauges inside—and it gets lots of looks when Ronnie takes it out on the street or to the strip!
SoCal Satellite
Who: Donald Driftmier
Where: West Covina, California
What: '67 Plymouth Satellite hardtop
The Driftmier's Satellite is just one of the family's Mopar rides—but, no doubt, it's the quickest.
It's a father/son car (with son Kevin at the wheel here), which uses a nicely-built 440 for power, and boasts Hoosier slicks and a number of other street/strip mods that make it a quick runner in the Irwindale (CA) Speedway strip—which, fortunately for the Driftmiers and other Southern California street-legal drag racers, re-opened last April.
Also in their family fleet are these daily drivers: Donald's '72 Barracuda; his wife's '06 Chrysler 300 SRT8; Kevin's 5.7L Hemi-powered '06 Ram pickup; and their daughter's Hemi-powered '04 Durango.
BC Bird
Who: Bruce Tateham
Where: Port Alberini, British Columbia, Canada
What: '70 Plymouth Road Runner
Bruce's Bird started out as a 383/column-shift 727 car, but when he first spotted it at a show nearly 20 years ago, there was a built 440 with a Six Barrel intake setup on it under a custom scooped hood. Upgrades included a floor-mounted shifter and 3,800 stall converter for the 727, 4.10 gears and custom axles in the 83⁄4 rear end, plus aluminum wheels and big/little tires (and a huge exhaust system). Otherwise, it was a time-capsule original down to its triple-black color scheme.
In 2011, Bruce heard from a friend that a buddy of his was selling off his collection, which included a '70 Road Runner. Bruce asked if it was black, his friend said it was—and before too long, that '70 was in Bruce's garage.
Bruce adds that he's had other musclecars over the years, but this 78,000-original-mile Bird knocks them out of the water—as his pictures show.

"Live Playoffs" begin and fans will have their first chance to vote for their 12 favorite artists; top 20 artists compete to make it to the top 12
Starting Nov. 5, NBC's "The Voice" will roll out of the "Knockout Rounds" into the "Live Playoffs" - and audience members have their first chance to vote for their favorite artists as the hit vocal competition series must choose the top 12 singers - forcing the four coaches to take only three artists to advance.
"The Voice" is the No. 1 unscripted series of the new fall season in adults 18-49 and total viewers, averaging a 5.2 rating, 14 share in 18-49 and 14.1 million viewers overall with its Monday edition. The Tuesday telecast is delivering a 4.7 rating, 14 share in 18-49 and 12.8 million viewers overall. Counting all primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox (except sports pre- and post-game shows), the Monday "Voice" is No. 4 so far this season in 18-49 and No. 8 in total viewers, while the Tuesday edition is tied for No. 6 in 18-49 and No. 14 in total viewers.
During the pivotal week of "Live Playoffs," each coach will have five artists on their respective teams, who will perform over the live shows during a three-night event on Monday, Nov. 5 (8 until 10 p.m.), and Wednesday, Nov. 7 (8 until 10 p.m.) - culminating with a results show on Thursday, Nov. 8 (8 p.m.), that will reveal "The Voice's" Top 12 artists.
After viewing this trial to see if they have what it takes, America then will choose two artists to be saved for each coach's team - and the coach will be allowed to choose one final singer to round out each team of three artists - all to be revealed on the "Live Playoffs" results show on Thursday, Nov. 8 (8 p.m.). The four coaches and their teams will move on to regular live shows during the remaining competition of "The Voice."
During the "Knockout Rounds" on Oct. 29 and 30 (8 until 10 p.m.), the battle winners and coach steals will have to prove themselves worthy to get to the "Live Playoffs." They will compete head-to-head in a sudden death vocal matchup. At the start of the "Knockouts," each coach had 10 artists left - eight battle winners and two steals.
The artists will have no clue who they are up against until they are about to perform. Coaches will line their teams up on the stage and call out two artists to go head-to-head immediately. This time the competitors will pick their own song, one which they feel symbolizes who they are as an artist. Each singer will then perform for all of the coaches, while their opposing teammate watches from a stool in the ring. The coach then decides who earns the live show spot and the other artist is eliminated.
"The Voice" features the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition show's third season. Celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton return along with Carson Daly as host and Christina Milian as social media correspondent.
In the final live performance phase of the competition, the top artists from each team will compete each week against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save their favorite artists and the two artists with the lowest number of votes will be sent home each week, no matter what team they are on. In the end, one will be named "The Voice" and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.
"The Voice" is online at http://www.nbc.com/TheVoice. Follow the show on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/NBCTheVoice and on Twitter at @NBCTheVoice and #TheVoice.

H.R. 4645, the Travel Restriction Reform and Export Enhancement Act, is a bipartisan bill introduced by Chairman Peterson and co-sponsored by 62 Members of Congress, including Representatives Jerry Moran of Kansas. The bill passed the Committee by a vote of 25-20.
"I am proud to say that today, the House Agriculture Committee took a courageous vote to end the short-sighted and failed policy that limits American agriculture's access to the Cuban market." Chairman Peterson said. "An unprecedented coalition of agriculture, business, religious and social organizations has endorsed H.R. 4645, and today's vote demonstrates that Congress is ready to change our nation's approach on this issue."
Approximately 140 groups have expressed strong support for H.R. 4645, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Farmers Union, American Farm Bureau Federation, and Human Rights Watch. The House Agriculture Committee also received a letter signed by more than 70 pro-democracy Cuban leaders that strongly encouraged passage of H.R. 4645.
"This legislation is the right policy at the right time," Chairman Peterson said. "We have tried to isolate Cuba for more than fifty years, and it has not worked. As it has in other countries, perhaps increasing trade with Cuba will encourage democratic progress."

Listen to radio story here:
"Who is Dayani Cristal?" is a new documentary film that pieces together the story of a Central American migrant who died trying to cross the Arizona desert into the United State illegally.
The film, directed by Marc Silver, is premiering across the world and part of it was shot in Pima County.
"Marc's film comes at a really important time, and I think that the lens he uses to tell the story is very human-centered," said Robin Reineke, executive director of the Colibri Center for Human Rights. "It's a family story, not so much an immigration film, but really a human rights and human interest film."
On average, the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner investigates the deaths of about 165 migrants each year, said Reineke, who is featured in the documentary.
"That's the equivalent of a plane crash every year in Southern Arizona, and it continues to happen, yet it is not part of the conversation of immigration reform," she said.
From 2003 to April 30, 2014, the OME has examined 2,017 sets of migrant remains, and hundreds of those have not been identified.
Silver found out about the hundreds of skeletal immigrant remains a few years ago, and became interested in documenting the issue and showing it to the rest of the world.
"We asked ourselves if perhaps we could make a film that questioned, what could one skull reveal about what's going on in the world in relation to migration and economic forces," Silver said.
He spent time filming at the OME, and interviewed people from the Mexican Consulate in Tucson and the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
"When you see at the end of the film the number of names of people who live in Tucson that Marc interviewed, it's quite impressive, and I always feel proud of the Tucson community when I see that," Reineke said.
The documentary will be screened at The Loft Cinema Saturday, May 3 at 7 p.m.
There will be discussion after the film with Reineke and Kat Rodriguez from the Colibri Center for Human Rights, and Silver will join the conversation via Skype.

Rogers and the Crimson are undefeated in the last five
league games (photo courtesy Patrick Shanahan).
TROY, N.Y.—Alex Killorn, Doug Rogers and Louis Leblanc scored third-period goals, with Leblanc's coming 2.3 seconds before the end of regulation, to lift the Harvard men's hockey team to a 3-3 tie with Rensselaer Saturday afternoon at Houston Field House.
Leblanc and Rogers each had a goal and an assist, and the Crimson (5-10-3, 5-5-3 ECAC Hockey) killed all four RPI power plays. Down 3-2 with six skaters on the ice, Michael Biega fired a shot from the right side that was deflected on net by Rogers. Allen York saved Leblanc's initial rebound shot from the left for Rensselaer (13-11-2, 6-5-1), but the freshman found the puck loose behind York and put it in to force overtime.
Harvard recorded three shots to the Engineers' two in the scoreless extra session and held a 29-24 shots edge in the game. Ryan Carroll made 11 saves in two periods of action, and Kyle Richter stopped 10 shots in the third period and overtime. Paul Kerrins led RPI with a goal and an assist. York made 26 saves.
Rensselaer's Jerry D'Amigo opened the scoring at 8:28 of the first period, scoring from below the faceoff circle on the left side. Carroll stopped the other eight shots to come his way in the first period. The Crimson's best chance came off the stick of Jack Christian from the slot, but York was there for one of his four first-period saves.
Each team's top goal-scorer got in alone for a scoring chance, but York stopped Louis Leblanc's left-to-right move and Carroll stoned Chase Polacek on a breakaway. Harvard could not score on consecutive power plays but gained momentum and held an 8-4 second-period shots edge. Kerrins, however, found the net on a rush up the left side eight seconds before the intermission.
Killorn answered just 20 seconds into a frantic third period. He beat York with a wrist shot from the slot after Leblanc caused an RPI turnover. Marty O'Grady built the Engineers' advantage back to two goals 51 seconds later, when he scored from a crowd in front. Rogers made it 3-2 after another 79 seconds, banging the puck in from the left after Chad Morin's point shot was blocked. The end-to-end play continued throughout the period, and Harvard killed a penalty in the closing minutes to pave the way for Leblanc's heroics.

Branded-to-generic shift impacts Fred's September comps
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Fred's posted a 1% gain in sales, to $17.5 million, for the five weeks ended Oct. 1.
Comparable store sales for September increased 1.1%; comparable store sales were flat in the year-earlier month. The September total sales comparison was adversely affected by store-closing sales that occurred last year during the month.
"Our general merchandise departments performed well during September, highlighted by the strength of our Core 5 Pet and Household Supplies areas, as well as other consumable departments," Fred's CEO Bruce Efird said. "Sales for the month were within our projections as strong customer traffic offset a lower average customer ticket. The ongoing brand-to-generic shift within the pharmacy department, however, continued to affect comparable store sales. Additionally, the timing of Social Security payments resulted in a sales shift from September to October. With sales for the first two months of the third quarter tracking within the projected range, we remain confident with our forecasted earnings for the quarter."
Fred's total sales for the year-to-date period increased 2% to $1.2 billion. On a comparable-store basis, year-to-date sales increased 0.6%, versus an increase of 2.3% for the same period last year.
Target shoppers spent money in September
MINNEAPOLIS — Target reported a moderately better-than-expected 5.3% same-store sales increase for September that was driven by broad-based gains in all categories and geographic regions, the company reported Thursday. The increase was almost entirely due to larger average transaction sizes and came on top of a prior year increase of 1.3%. The company also noted that customer traffic as measured by comparable-store transaction increase a little more than 1%.
"We're very pleased with our September comparable-store sales, which were somewhat ahead of our expectations," Target chairman, president and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said. "We experienced strong sales results throughout the month and across a broad array of merchandise categories, demonstrating Target's ability to deliver on both sides of our 'Expect More. Pay Less' brand promise and generate strong financial performance even in this soft economic environment."
As has been the case throughout the year, September comps in food increased in the mid teens and comps in the household essentials area also were up more than the company average. The beauty category led the way and experienced a high single-digit increase, while comps in apparel and accessories were up more than the company average. Double-digit increases were reported in the intimate, hosiery and performance apparel segments followed by a high single-digit increase in kids' apparel. Jewelry and accessories were the weakest performers.
In the hardlines area, comps decreased in the low single-digit range, with the strongest performance in toys and the softest performance in electronics. Comps in home furnishings and décor increase in the low single-digit range, led by a mid single-digit increase in domestics, with the softest performance in decorative home area.
Aside from the solid overall 5.3% gain, Target has to feel good that every region of the country reported a healthy increase in comps and that inventory levels were described to be in very good condition. For the October reporting period, the company is expecting more of the same with a forecast calling for a comps increase in the low to mid single-digit range.
Harris Teeter partners with D.C. councilmember on $10K donation
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Harris Teeter and Washington, D.C., Ward 6 council member Tommy Wells joined forces Thursday to offer a $10,000 donation to Jan's Tutoring House, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., that pairs children with volunteers who provide one-on-one tutoring and mentoring.
Wells has won support throughout Ward 6 and Washington, D.C., for forging public, private partnerships to translate ideas into real improvements for Ward 6 residents and beyond. He began volunteering at JTH in 1997 and recognized Harris Teeter as a likely partner because of the company's commitment to providing educational opportunities to children through its Together in Education program.
Since 1998, Harris Teeter has donated more than $15.6 million to schools in its communities through Together in Education and more than $1.5 million to schools in northern Virginia, including Washington, D.C.

Dundee kitesurfer killed at Lincoln City
LINCOLN CITY — Wyle "Dale" Johnson, 49, of Dundee, has been identified by the Oregon State Police as the kitesurfer who died about 5 p.m. Thursday in the ocean off the beach at Roads End Recreation Site, located on the east end of Lincoln City.
Johnson was a member of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was a lieutenant at Station 35 in King City.
"Fellow firefighters said Dale loved his crew, his job and was someone who was passionate about everything he did — be it work or play," Tualatin Valley spokesperson Cassandra Ulven said. "He was an avid kitesurfer and enjoyed his time on the water."
OSP was notified that an adult male was being transported to Samaratin North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City after being found by a friend unresponsive in the water while kitesurfing. CPR was administered on the beach by the friend and fire personnel, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to OSP, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Pac West ambulance and Lincoln City police also responded.
Johnson started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Jackson County, Oregon, according to a release issued by Tualatin Valley. In 1995, he joined the agency as a firefighter/paramedic, and in 2006, was promoted to lieutenant.
Since 2011, Johnson was assigned to the King City station.
"Dale Johnson was a good firefighter, a good lieutenant and a good man," Tualatin Valley Chief Mike Duyck said. "The men and women at TVF&R will miss him, and our hearts go out to his family."

Study says DPP-IV benefits may go beyond diabetes
DPP-IV diabetes medications may have benefits beyond insulin control. PharmaTimes reports that a Brigham and Women's Hospital study shows the medications may be associated with a reduced risk of autoimmune diseases among type-2 diabetics. PT says researcher Seoyoung Kim told reporters at the American College of Rheumatology conference that diabetics taking DPP-IV combination therapy were 34% less likely to develop RA and reduced their risk of other autoimmune diseases by 27%.
PT notes that the study is not definitive, but further evidence would benefit Merck's Januvia (which has seen sales slide) and the Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly drug Tradjenta. The DPP-IV class also includes the Bristol-Myers Squibb/AstraZeneca drug Onglyza.
The diabetes category as a whole is getting tighter. Merck noted in its conference call, for example, that "the DPP-IV market and branded worldwide diabetic market isn't growing." Additional pressures, such as being squeezed out of PBM formulary offerings have added to category pressures.

Summer Adventures: Staying Active
Boy, oh boy! This summer has been a hot one! High temperatures keep us inside and can sometimes decrease the amount of exercise we get. It's important for kids to stay active this summer. Setting weekly goals for physical activity keeps children in shape and healthy.
Musical Exercise
Turn on your favorite musical and sing and dance to all of the songs! You can even turn this into a game of "freeze." Play some music for a while and have them dance and sing until you pause the music. When the music stops have them hold their silly pose until the music starts to play again.
Keep it Cool
Whether you have a pool in the backyard, or you head to a public pool in the area, swimming together is one of the best ways to beat the heat and get some exercise. Just don't forget the sunscreen!
Keep it Mellow
Try some yoga. Yoga is the perfect exercise for kids to do indoors! Yoga is quiet, slow and doesn't require any additional equipment. Your kids only need their own body and little bit of space and they are ready to start posing. Here are a few poses to get you started!
A few other ways you can stay active during the hot summer months are:
- Take a walk in the early morning or late evening
- Join a family-friendly gym
- Challenge each other to an interactive video game
- Play hot potato
Learn Something New
Students should take advantage of summer's extra free time to work on a hobby, interest or talent. Encouraging your child to use the time inside to learn a new instrument or talent could help them get ahead in all areas of their life.
Summer time offers the unique opportunity to enroll kids in lessons, classes, camps, or workshops to develop skills in an area of their choice. This will boost their self-confidence and improve their lives for years to come!
