San Diego State Postgame Presser Transcript: Players
Mike Martin and Ryan Van Bergen
Did you feel Mike Martin out there today? Van Bergen: "Oh yeah absolutely. Defensive line-wise, we probably had our highest production day. Obviously you have to watch the film to see how well we really performed. I thought Mike did a good job of getting after the quarterback, and when he wasn't there, I was there, and then when neither of us was there, Craig was there. We did a really good job up front of getting to the quarterback. We didn't register big numbers [in terms of] sacks or anything like that, but as far as QB hurries and pressures, I'd be interested to see that stat, because I felt like we were making him move his feet all day, which changed up some of his throws.
Is this the best you've played this year, and did you guys change anything in practice this week? Martin: "We didn't change anything schematically. We had by far the best week of practice as a team collectively this week, and it definitely showed up on the field. I was interviewed earlier this week, and I said that the way we practice directly correlates with the way that we play. We started out fast on Tuesday, had a great day of work Wednesday to Thursday, then we tied it together on Saturday. It all ties together, and I'm glad we put it on the field today."
A lot of sudden change situations in the fourth quarter. How did you respond to that? Van Bergen: "You know, we've been pretty solid on sudden change situations all season defensively. Not allowing a touchdown, holding them to a field goal when they get good enough field position for it. It's something our defense prides ourselves on. We're really intent that teams don't get the best of us when we turn the ball over, because it's going to happen. You're going to turn the ball over, and the main thing is don't let that translate into points, because that's how you get beat. So our defense, that's one of the things on our bulletin board. That's on our wall. One of the things we have to be good at is sudden change situations. We pride ourselves on that."
We've talked a lot about slow starts on defense. What was it about the first quarter that allowed you to get off to a fast start? Was it knowing the opponent better? Martin: "You know, that's a part of it, but I like to say it was as simple as us coming out with the most intensity we've had in the first quarter this season. It's something we have to remember that we did and build on that. It went right into the second quarter, and when half time came around, we made a few adjustments, but we came to play every single quarter. So we have to start fast and finish strong, which I think we did this week."
Hoke said on Monday that the biggest aspect the team that he wanted to see improve was the play of the front seven. Did you agree with his assessment? Van Bergen: "Coach Hoke holds us to a very high standard. That's something I said Monday at the Press conference. He's going to have the highest standard of any defensive line in the country. We definitely don't want him to lower the bar for us. I think Mike would agree with the fact that we haven't played our best game up front. And I would probably go on to say this wasn't our best game we could have played. We played better, but the standard is so high that any missed assignment, missed tackle, miscue, anything like that, or wrong alignment isn't going to be tolerated until everything we do on every single snap is perfect."
How were you able to keep Hillman in check and get two turnovers from him? Also, talk about forcing the fumble from behind? Van Bergen: "There's a lot of parts to that question. [Hillman's] a good back. We knew he was an explosive player, but I mean, when it comes down to it, we have the most explosive player in the country in my opinion in our backfield, so we get to play against Denard. So we've learned how to take angles to guys with some speed. As far as that call, Mike actually was the one who sprung me on that as far as they were running a toss to the boundary side, and we were running a stunt where Mike was supposed to come up to the field first and I was supposed to loop underneath him. He picked the guy that was supposed to block me, and I just took off on my horse, thinking, 'I've almost caught Denard before. Maybe I can catch this guy.' Our corner did a good job of turning him back in. We've practiced that all the time. Two months ago, spring ball, that might not have happened. I don't remember who the corner was, but he made him turn back in. We all know in pursuit drill on defensive line -- if you catch a running back, you throw your arms around him as hard as you can and you hope that ball comes out. It was a good break for us because if they score on that possession, game might have gone a little differently. It was fortunate … Mike definitely set me up on that." [Ed-M: Van Bergen(+1) for UFR-ing]
Did you think Lindley was a different quarterback under pressure? Martin: "Yeah, that's something that we talked about as a D-line and as a group. We knew that if we got in his face and got pressure to him, press the pocket down on him, he would get happy feet and make missed throws. He's a good quarterback. He can sling that thing around. If you don't get in his face, he can throw it as well as anyone. We made sure that was a big thing for us ... to push the pocket and do whatever we can to get into his face."
Did either one of you sense this was a tough week for Hoke? Van Bergen: "I didn't think it was a tough week for him personally. I think that there was definitely a media factor as far as it was hyped up to the fact that it was his old program. But I mean, college football is a transitioning world. Everybody moves around, so it just happened to be that they were on the schedule, and he didn't treat this any differently. He had some inside information as far as how they would play as far as personnel, but nothing to the point to making it any different than any other week. We had to have an intense week of practice, which Mike said we did, and then have a four-quarter game, which, defensively, we came along. I won't say we had it, but we had a better week than last week."
Coaches say the goal is to win Big Ten Championship. How much do they talk about that now that non-conference is over? Van Bergen: "I would imagine the intensity is going to pick up. We had some pretty intense practices, but the way Coach Hoke has been talking about even through fall camp and his first four weeks -- it's always been about the Big Ten. Everything is in comparison to the Big Ten. We have to play better or we won't compete against the Big Ten. We have to be better up front or we won't be able to play in the Big Ten. The Big Ten standard is higher than any expectation. In order for us to be competitive in the Big Ten the way coach wants us to be, we're going to have to step it up. We want to be Big Ten champions. We haven't had a good record in the Big Ten, anybody on this team, since we've been on it. It's a big thing for us. We've started off 4-0 non-conference schedule, but to come out in the Big Ten and have a strong showing, that's a big deal to us. I can tell you all the guys in the locker room are very excited and hyped up to get started in the Big Ten schedule and see what we're really about."
Even though you've been downplaying this storyline, is there a sense of pride in helping your coach beat a team he left less than a year ago? Mike Martin: "That's not something that was on our mind. Our bottom line was to win the game. We have to win the game no matter what so we can go into the Big Ten ready to go. We always want to win for coach. We always want to win for Michigan and this program. It's what it's all about. It's not about coach, and he'll say that. He'll say that [about] himself. It's not about him. It's not about me. It's not about Ryan. It's not about anyone except for Michigan and this program."
I know you can't see what other guys are doing on defense, but Blake Countess had a really good game. Talk about him? Van Bergen: "I think Blake is one of those guys that -- as a true freshman you can get some guys that get wide eyes when they come on the field. But there's also guys -- he kind of reminds me of Donovan Warren when he first came in. He was very focused. He has a swagger about him, and he's very confident in his abilities. I think the more reps he gets, the more time he'll see just because he'll prove that he can play. I think the coaches are slowly getting more comfortable with him and rotating him in. Unfortunately I think Troy went down. I don't know if JT came back or not, but we had some guys that went down a little bit, and he stepped up. And that's something we have as a team is the expectation by position. It doesn't matter who you are. That position is expected to be played a certain way. Blake proved that today. He did really well."
To what extent are the turnovers a result of playmaking mentality, and how much is it is just constantly running to the ball and hoping for something to happen? Van Bergen: "You know, I think it's just the emphasis. We have such a strong emphasis from Coach Mattison and Coach Hoke, almost to the point where you don't want to hear them anymore. Just turn them off in practice because they're always talking about running to the ball, that the ball's going to come out. If you count it percentage-wise, you're probably not going to get a ball out too often, but when it does, man, it feels great. When you buy in like our defense has bought in, all of a sudden the turnovers start piling up for us. I think everybody's starting to take notice that we've gotten way more turnovers this year at this point than we did last year and the last couple years because of how much we emphasize it and how much we practice it and how much we believe that if we get 11 hats on the ball, good things are going to happen."
Craig Roh and Mark Huyge
How complicated is Rocky Long's defense? Did it give you guys problems? Huyge: "Well they basically stunted on every play. They were taking the defensive end and putting him inside, wrapping the nose around, bringing linebackers off the edge. They were twisting and stunting. It helps because we ran the zone a lot -- inside zone -- and that's where everyone pushes to one side. When you can do that, it kind of negates it a little bit, but they got us on a few I know for sure."
Can you take us through the sack/fumble play? How good did that feel? Roh: "With the sack, they were running hurry-up, so I just subbed in for Jibreel Black and just bullrushed and then ripped outside and got the ball. It was a good feeling. It's always a good feeling when you get a sack."
Do you take coach's criticisms of the defensive line personally? Roh: "We take it personally every week, but we're improving every week and I think today was a pretty good performance defensively, especially with the run. But we need to keep improving every week, and we're not where we need to be yet."
What was the attitude on offense when you turned the ball over, and how do you get past that and not allow it to slow you down? Huyge: "We know that we have to keep pushing past that. It's been nice not turning the ball over, trying to sustain consistent drives. But when it happens, it's just an obstacle. It's football and we know that. Just keep pushing on. That's what we keep telling ourselves. It's what we try to do."
What was the difference between the Ryan Lindley you saw today and the Ryan Lindley you saw on tape after you got inside his head a little? Roh: "We were getting real good pressure up the middle with Mike Martin and Ryan Van Bergen. I think it just rattled him a little bit and he didn't perform as well as we had expected. He's a real good quarterback, and we just got pressure on him and got him rattled a little bit."
How important was it to establish Denard as a runner early in the game? Huyge: "Like Craig said, the emphasis this week was to start fast. The last couple of games we started slow and eventually picked it up. Getting Denard established early -- I think that gives the defense problems, and they have to adjust and get on their heels, and that's always a good thing."
This is the third straight game where you've had a turnover in the red-zone. What about inside the 20 makes you guys play up and what's it like when you can get off the field without giving up any points? Roh: "It's just, 'Give us a place to stand and we'll play.' Coach Mattison's always saying that, and I think all of us have taken it to heart."
Denard Robinson and Vincent Smith
Talk about getting off to a faster start on offense? Denard: "That's the thing that coach was preaching to us all week. All the seniors were just like, 'Hey, we have to start taking off fast,' so Tuesday practice everybody came out amped and ready to go."
Denard, the option play with Vince was new. Do you like that play, and how long have you guys been working on it? Denard: "We've been working on a lot, and I wanted to give the ball to Vince, but I saw the opening and I was like, 'All right, let's go.' "
Vince, talk about chemistry in running game. Smith: "With two backs, it's a good relief off Denard, and me and Fitz pride ourselves in taking the load off him and helping this offense move down the field."
Hoke said one of the things that surprised him was how much you guys like each other. Denard: "We all love each other. We enjoy being with each other. It's like a family, so that's what we pride [ourselves] on." Do you guys talk about that with the new guys? "Oh yeah, that's my brother, and we're going to take you in. So when the freshmen came in, they knew that they had a family here."
Did you guys see the defensive signal cards that SDSU was using? Denard: "We were laughing. Everybody was in that huddle laughing like, 'Look at those things they got. They've got pictures of our coaches. That's crazy.' " Smith: "Yeah, I was laughing as well."
Do you feel like you need to take it up another level on offense to compete with Big Ten teams? Smith: "We know we just have to sustain drives and keep the ball flowing and get into rhythm."
Fred Jackson has a reputation for benching running backs who fumble. What did it mean to you for him not to bench you? Smith: "It puts a lot of confidence in me, and I knew that I had to make up for what I did. Obviously I did, and he knows that I'm capable of doing that."
Talk about run where you broke free. Smith: "The last one I scored on?" No it was in the first half. Denard: "He's talking about the one you broke -- you kind of looked like you were stopped -- and I was like, 'What?' " Smith: "It was a zone read, and I just pressed my gut, which coach J was stressing to us all through the week. It wasn't there at first, but I was just patient on the read, and just squirted out -- it was a small, small hole, and I just squirted through it. I just kept my feet going and something good happened."
What's your frustration level with yourself in the passing game? Denard: "I mean, I'm not too mad at myself, because my teammates, they keep telling I'm going to be all right. Just keep going and keep fighting. They have my back, and I know they do."
Did anyone show up to your birthday party after your tweet? [Denard bangs head on table.] Denard: "Oh man. It was a good crowd. We went out [to Colonial Lanes] bowling, having a little bit of fun. It was just … " How many people do you think showed up? "I don't know. I don't know." What did you bowl? "I bowled a 200 the first try. The second time I only went 160 and the next time I went 170. I did all right." Why'd you just bang your head on the table there? "Because Twitter -- I don't know if I want to keep tweeting. I don't want questions coming up in here about that."
Speaking of odd questions, did you switch helmet manufacturers this year? Denard: "Big Jon told us we had to wear a different helmet, and I got a different helmet. He just told me. I came in one day and he was like, 'Yeah, you've got to get a different helmet.' And I was like, 'Ah, come on.' "
Why do you think you couldn't get into rhythm passing? Denard: "[San Diego State is] a great team. They fly around everywhere. So you could say that, but still we worked on it all week and I just have to execute, that's all. We have to get better as a team."
Going for it on fourth and two, how big was it score before halftime? Denard: "Roy and the seniors were just like, 'Man, look. We have to get this and we can't slack.' I was like, 'All right, let's go get it then.' Coach called the time-out and he was like, 'Let's go and get the ball. Let's go and get the first down.' And that's what we did. That was a big key to the game."

Ieronymos (Kotsonis) of Athens
His Beatitude, the Most Reverend Ieronymos (Kotsonis) of Athens, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, was the ruling hierarch of the Church of Greece from 1967 to 1973. He was the palace chaplain to the King of Greece and succeeded to the cathedra of Greece in 1967 after the retirement of Abp. Chrysostomos (Hadjistavrou).
Born in 1901 on the island of Tinos, Ieronymos was ordained a deacon in 1932. Entering a monastic, life he rose to the dignity of archimandrite. He attended theological schools in England and Germany on scholarships, then earned a doctorate from the University of Athens. He became an authority on canon law, with some ninety published works to his credit.
After World War II, Ieronymos took part in a movement that repatriated Greek children who had been kidnaped by Communist Guerillas during the civil war in Greece. Impressed by this work, Queen Frederika caused him to be named the palace chaplain in 1949.
In 1967, Ieronymos was appointed by King Constantine II to succeed Abp. Chrysostomos, following his retirement under the imposition by the junta of colonels of a requirement for retirement at the age of 80. Abp. Chrysostomos was then 87 years old. Abp. Ieronymos soon initiated a program of reviving the Greek Church. He started special drives to aid the poor and sick, to revamp the welfare system of the church, and to provide hundreds of "homes of tranquillity" for the aged. He initiated improvements in the salaries of the clergy and increased participation of the laity in the church operations. He also gave the church more responsibility for religious education and established a new charter that set 72 as the age for retirement of bishops.
The application of his reforms, however, had a dictatorial side as he took action against those clergy of questionable morality. The issue of his administrative actions came to a head in November 1971 when he ignored the desires of Patr. Demetrius I concerning the new territory dioceses in the assignments to a new Synod of Bishops, engineering the election of younger "men of merit" who backed Ieronymos' policies. These actions were attacked as violations of the canons.
After retiring to his native island of Tinos for a short time, Abp. Ieronymos offered his resignation, which the Synod refused. The dissident bishops, instead, went to court and got the whole Synod declared illegal. The bishops then formed a Synod based on the old territorial arrangement in which Ieronymos' faction was reduced to three of the ten seats.
Abp. Ieronymos retired in 1973.

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) – Authorities say five firefighters were injured while battling a five-alarm fire at a northern New Jersey building that extended to some adjoining buildings.
None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, but officials said one firefighter suffered extensive cuts when a backdraft caused an explosion that shattered a window.
The fire broke out Sunday morning in Harrison and burned for several hours before it was brought under control. It's not yet clear what sparked the blaze, which apparently started in a restaurant on the building's ground floor and spread toward a nearby apartment building. No civilian injuries were reported.
The fire sent heavy, black smoke spewing from the two-story building. It also spurred travel delays and forced organizers to re-route a St. Patrick's Day parade being staged nearby.

Man gets 25 years for murder sparked by wrong nickname
A San Antonio man agreed to a 25-year sentence Monday for a fatal shooting that was allegedly spurred by a fellow partygoer insisting on calling him Steve instead of his preferred moniker: "Loco."
Steve Ray Villa, 22, only grazed Martin Lopez, who was the intended target, during the December 2010 party at a West Side apartment complex, authorities said. But he ended up accidentally shooting party host Grace Guerra, according to witnesses.
Guerra, 19, had tried to break up an argument between the men minutes earlier, complaining that they would wake up her child in a nearby room.
"We forgot (before inviting Villa to the party) that Martin and Stevie had drama from middle school," Guerra's roommate, Gabriela Agueros, told police after the shooting.
In addition to the murder sentence, Villa also agreed Monday to a concurrent 10-year term for punching a jailer while awaiting trial.
"Some of our witnesses were a bit reluctant to testify and ... some people had probably been intoxicated," prosecutor Rita Spiegel said of the plea agreement. "Under the circumstances, we felt this was a just resolution."
Among the reluctant witnesses was Lopez, the other victim, who refused to tell police who shot him, according to court documents.
During a brief victim impact statement, Guerra's mother and sister said they forgave the defendant. Defense attorney Ed Bartolomei said he offered condolences to the family.
"It was a tragic situation for both families," he said.

This idea from Australian condiment-maker Beerenberg deserves a quick mention - perhaps the concept will spread to the U.S., helping us track the path that our food travels.
Beerenberg has added a feature to their website whereby consumers can enter the bar code on the product they have purchased and trace its origins from "soil to shelf", complete with photos of the people who made the product, a product overview, and Google mapping to locate the farm where the primary ingredients originated.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – First-year head coach Kevin O'Brien has released the 2012 schedule for the Lipscomb women's soccer program, and it will include nine home matches for the upcoming season.
"The first part of the season is all about cohesiveness and coming together as a group," O'Brien said. "Until you play an opponent that gives you a different look than your squad, you really can't focus on what you need to work on. That first non-conference part of the schedule will be for honing and fine-tuning."
The Lady Bisons kick off the preseason schedule with an alumni game at 6 p.m., Aug. 4.
The regular season begins with "Battle of the Boulevard" match-up at Belmont, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. at E.S. Rose Park. The Lady Bisons earned the programs first-ever win against the Lady Bruins last season.
Lipscomb opens the home schedule Aug. 17 with a 7 p.m. tilt against Jackson State before taking off for three straight road matches at Xavier (Aug. 20), Central Arkansas (Aug. 24) and Austin Peay (Aug. 28).
The Lady Bisons return home Aug. 31 for a 7 p.m. game against Tennessee Chattanooga and follow with a match against NAIA foe Trevecca, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m.
A quick two-game roadie gets Lipscomb through the middle of September on trips to Tennessee Martin (Sept. 9) and Alabama State (Sept. 14).
After returning from that trip, Lipscomb will have a three-game home stand against Tennessee Tech (Sept. 17, 7 p.m.) and the Atlantic Sun-opening weekend against North Florida (Sept. 21, 7 p.m.) and Jacksonville (Sept. 23, 1 p.m.).
Lipscomb's first A-Sun road trip of the season takes the Lady Bisons to Florida for match-ups against defending champion Florida Gulf Coast (Sept. 28) and Stetson (Sept. 30).
The Lady Bisons host Mercer (Oct. 5, 7 p.m.) and Kennesaw State (Oct. 7, 1 p.m.) before hitting the road again for USC Upstate (Oct. 12) and ETSU (Oct. 14). The Lady Bisons defeated Upstate for their first A-Sun victory in 2011.
Lipscomb closes out the regular season by hosting Northern Kentucky, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.
"There's been lots of change within the conference," O'Brien said. "I'll rely on seniority to a degree but the players that produce will be the ones on the field. I'm looking for the best players to show up each week in training.
"I hope that the girls pick up where they left off in the spring. We beat a great SEC program in Vanderbilt in the spring and my hope is that the confidence they built then will carry into this season. We'll have new players to get assimilated so preseason will be vital to the success we're ultimately hoping to have."

Who 'sexts'? And who cares, besides former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife?
It turns out that a fair number of people send the cryptic and racy messages, and behavioral scientists who study issues as varied as sexual mores, shame and suicide are curious.
Depending on your definition of sexting (Words only? Photos?) and what groups you're surveying, 2.5% to 25% of the population sends them and 7% to 34.5% receives them (some, accidentally).
And that's just the folks who admit it. A recent report suggests that almost 40% of young people reported sending such messages, and almost 50% reported receiving them.

Ecore ODA Driver-Proposal
The Ecore ODA Driver is in process to become a DTP Incubator project. It will provide the ability to query Ecore models using OCL by implementing the ODA API. The restriction to use OCL (text-based) queries is based on the design of the ODA API. EMF Queries may be supported at runtime in the future.
Initial code has been committed (see CVS, below) but the code is not yet complete. While most of the driver itself is in place the UI requires some finish work.
It is hoped that a useful release will be complete in time for Ganymede.
The Ecore ODA Driver and UI can be checked out of CVS from the Datatools_Project Repository of dev.eclipse.org with a path of org.eclipse.datatools.incubator/plugins.

Kyle Abraham's "Untitled America" Comes Together
Kyle Abraham and the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater have joined together for "Untitled America," a commentary on the plight of American Africans surviving in the United States. For the first, this is a work that has been created over multiple seasons. Part of this work was inspired by phone calls from prison. His mother's brother would call and "once the phone calls ended, the sadness set in. On both ends," he said. The first installment premiered December 2015, being described by Dance Magazine as, "Something our culture should be looking at … Kudos to Ailey- and Abraham- for keeping the revelations relevant." It ran for 18 minutes and included traditional music and sounds from Raime. It called attention to themes such as isolation and separation.
The final piece of Kyle Abraham's masterpiece is complete. If you didn't know what the show "Untitled America" is, as described by the Alvin Ailey American Dance theater, "a haunting 3-part work that MacArthur "genius grant" winner Kyle Abraham developed and completed over the last two years, shines a light on the impact of the prison system on African-American families."
The final installment is set to premiere during Alvin Ailey's upcoming season, which runs from November 30 through December 31. The previous installments of "Untitled America" have highlighted racial injustices in America alongside the effects of the prison system. The pieces were performed by the dance troupe as stand alone work. On December 7, all the pieces will come together to be presented as a suite. Abraham has chose to use contemporary music by the duo Raime again.
The show is almost like a sad lullaby being ever so relevant in this time in America. Abraham is having a honest conversation about race and using the beauty of art and the distance of the metaphor in art. "Untitled America" celebrates culture and what it means to be Black in the world. The pieces are coming together December in New York.

We Were There: Sojourners & Her Portmanteau
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Playwright, educator, opera singer, and Queen, Mfoniso Udofia has two plays running at New York Theatre Workshop. *pause* TWO PLAYS. In the SAME season!?!? *ends congratulatory gasp* Sojourners and Her Portmanteau are performed in repertory, as two chapters of Udofia's sweeping, nine-part saga, The Ufot Cycle. Admittedly, before researching each show, I didn't know the definition of either word; and in the spirit of keeping it consistent with the honesty, I didn't like either play. I loved them.
Minimalism seems to be the name of the game these days. I sat down to a completely black stage, sans a multimedia display lodged on the ceiling at a 45-degree angle. Clutching my all white program and bobbing my head to the '70s pop rock pre-show music, I prepared my heart for the story of Sojourners, well at least that was the plan. The stage begins to rotate and we meet Abasiama (Chinasa Ogbuagu) and Ukpong (Hubert Point-Du Jour), Nigerian expatriates sojourning in Houston, Texas with the plan to start a family, earn their degrees, and go back to Nigeria until life happens.
Charming and handsome, Ukpong becomes defined by his leather jacket, shoulder work and shimmy which match the fascination and yearning for freedom that illuminates his eyes every time he talks of peace, protest, and Prince–all shaping his view of 1970s America, and consequently, the American Dream. But does leather compensate for grit? Is a movement or vibe really a panacea for disappointment, aimlessness, and a need to find yourself? Abasiama enters the play pregnant, purposed, and outfitted in pieces of Nigerian garb, grounded in duty showing a stark contrast to Ukpong who floats in desire. What's lost in your household is found elsewhere, and this is when we start to see, and root for, Abasiama's transformation from timid to tenacious.
Enter Moxie (Lakisha May), a colorful prostitute turned protector and friend. There is a mutual respect despite great differences between her and Abasiama, with their love for one another creating moments that make you believe in the beauty of humanity. Enter Disciple (Chinaza Uche), another warm and determined hearted immigrant who has come to the United States to study, rounding out the timely additions of love, support, and security when Abasiama needed them the most.
Through and through this is Abasiama's story and she glows. Her kindness, her sisterhood, her strength, her worthiness, and the realization of her American Dream, guide her decisions—which is the catalyst behind the entire Ufot Cycle.
Her Portmanteau
Her "portmanteau", or red suitcase, makes a return as 30 years have passed. Abasiama now has two daughters, one raised in America and the other who has come from Nigeria to reconnect with her family.
This is a good moment to mention that each story is informed by the other, but can certainly stand alone on substance, content, and the amazing direction of Ed Sylvanus Iskandar. The staging is exciting and deliberate, while minimal, putting the full focus on the tension and growth to be expected of a family reunited after a substantial amount of time and distance.
Chinasa Ogbuagu returns to the stage, this time as the American-born daughter, Adiagha Ufot, Adepero Oduye as Iniabasi Ekpeyoung (Ukpong and Abasiama's daughter), and Jenny Jules as the mother, Abasiama Ufot.
Seated on a couch in Adiagha's small New York Apartment, no amount of preparation readies your mind and spirit to form the words to make up for 30 years of life, connection, and memories missed. We're taken on a ride of resentment, hurt, love, and forgiveness, as the portmanteau is literally unpacked. We watch the teeter-tottering between offense and defense as one sister tries to assimilate into American culture, and the other attempts, albeit stubbornly, to fall in formation in honoring a family she shares blood with, but little time or tangible history.
It's powerful to see a story of history and continuing a legacy despite lost time, faulty promises, and difficult choices explored with an all-woman cast as far too often the idea of legacy is framed in patriarchy. Jules admirably takes Abasiama through the fire to heal, to feel, and to fix her family. The narrative allows us to empathize and understand the struggle that comes with upholding family values versus cultivating a space to achieve personal dreams and happiness.
Her Portmanteau (and Sojourners) is written in a way that finds your soul, gently massaging it with humor, while leaving it with very real questions. I've never felt a greater need to binge read nine stories and simultaneously study the story of my own family tree. I left changed. I left wrapped in the strength of my mom and my mom's- mom's sacrifice. I left pensive and with seeds of future forgiveness planted. I left changed.
For capturing our hearts with wit and with truth. For putting Black women at the center of a poignant narrative. For unapologetically telling a story you haven't seen told and telling it in the way you want it to be told.
We thank you Mfoniso. We thank you.

Our Story in 2 Plays for 1 Price: Mfoniso Udofia's Sojourners & Her Portmanteau
Last winter, we reported on Sojourners by playwright Mfoniso Udofia, a new play about a Nigerian family who has come to America with the goal of earning a college education, starting a family, and returning to Nigeria. But not without the twists and turns that come along with every plan that seems straightforward.
Thanks to New York Theatre Workshop, we get to relive this moment and continue the dialogue, decades later, with Her Portmanteau. Performed in repertory, these two chapters of Udofia's sweeping, nine-part saga, The Ufot Cycle, chronicle the triumphs and losses of the tenacious matriarch of a Nigerian family.
Ed Sylvanus Iskandar directs the two-part story in association with The Playwrights Realm, who premiered Sojourners last winter in a limited engagement world premiere production. Her Portmanteau also received the 2016 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award grant.
The cast includes Jenny Jules, Lakisha Michelle May, Adepero Oduye, Chinasa Ogbuagu, Hubert Point-Du Jour, and Chinaza Uche.

We Were There: Condola Rashad and Laurie Metcalf in Lucas Hnath's A Doll's House, Part 2
Part of the magic of live theatre is the suspension of reality achieved by sitting in a dark room with strangers as you're transported to another world. You're relieved of clearing your work email. You're unchained from the claws of Sallie Mae. Your anxiety rests. Whether you come to the theatre to laugh, cry, learn, or heal—you come with a clear heart and mind, with the expectation to experience life through a lens that is not wholly yours. Lucas Hnath unapologetically roots us in reality in his play A Doll's House, Part 2.
In his take on the life after Henrik Ibsen's 1879 masterpiece, A Doll's House, Hnath poses the question of what happens when the rocket ship doesn't take off. What happens when you're stuck squarely in the confines of your own living room, and more hauntingly, within the raw thoughts of your mind?
15 years later and Nora returns to the very door she slammed, ending the life she shared with her husband and three kids. The question is why.
Walking down the orchestra aisles in John Golden Theatre felt like picking my seat on the floor in front of the television. I cosied myself into my seat and took in the set— the absence of objects that might reference or represent life, love, and family; just as my eyes landed on the enormous black door, the lights went down and the story began.
As a bit of reference, Ibsen's A Doll's House is quite "woke," if I do say so myself, covering topics like the role of women in a marriage, marriage expectations, and women's rights. Hnath carries this torch into this new work, directed by Fun Home's Sam Gold, and continues the conversation with poignance.
Laurie Metcalf has the intimidating task of bringing us into the mind of a woman who believes leaving her husband and children was the only way to activate her free will and identity, and she does so with great deliberation. Her Nora, the independent writer who has "made it," but wants everyone to know the road wasn't easy, is equal parts sarcastic, petty, touching, and unapologetic.
Image: Brigitte Lacombe
The relatability in Hnath's voice reverberates back and forth through the fast-paced dialogue. One minute you're admiring the pleats and frills in Nora's period-appropriate bodice, and the next you're realizing, no matter how firm in your beliefs you stand, you empathize and connect with the well-balanced conversations carried out in modern vernacular, from the point of view of Norma, Torvald (played by a sincere Chris Cooper), and Anne Marie (Tony winner Jayne Houdyshell). And did I mention it's laugh-out-audibly-loud funny?
Smart and endearing, Emmy (Condola Rashad) is a force against her estranged mother's shameless manipulation. She is curiosity and a second chance, stained, but not damaged, with latent dismay. Although only in the show for one scene, Rashad's delicate and redeeming grace will leave with you.
We don't leave the room wondering who was right or who was wrong, rather whose voice is loudest in the back of our own heads as we walk—or not walk—in our truth. Life is complicated, and so is love. What did you take away from A Doll's House, Part 2? Sound off in the comments below!

We Were There: Experience Deja Vu With Groundhog Day
What if you had to relive the same day over and over and over AND over again? Would you try something new every time to get a different outcome? Would you drive yourself crazy trying to figure out how to stop it? Now a two-time Olivier Award-winning new musical, Groundhog Day takes us on a whirlwind of adventure and misery through the eyes of a jaded weatherman forced to relive the same day, every day.
Funny enough, Groundhog Day is actually based on a film with the same title, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, and co-written by the show's book writer Danny Rubin, about a weatherman caught in time and forced to relive the same day over and over and over again.
The concept seemingly feels like dangerous ground for a musical or a play, for that matter, as it forces the audience to watch the same moments over and over AND over again. Yet, somehow Groundhog Day manages to make what could be dangerous territory and turn it into a brilliant masterpiece of a musical. Largely in part to the catchy, fun music of the brilliant Tim Minchin, Groundhog Day makes deja vu seem kinda… cool.
Like the 1993 film, we meet our snarky protagonist Phil Connors (Andy Karl), a weatherman sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual prediction of spring, as predicted by "Phil the Groundhog." Naturally, Phil feels nothing but disdain for the ritual, Punxsutawney, and everyone who celebrates it, including his producer Rita Hanson (Barrett Doss), who he tries to woo while acting like a complete prick to her.
As the Groundhog Day version of Ebenezer Scrooge, Connors needs to deal with the consequences of his terrible, often hilarious, actions. Cue the deja vu, where he must relive the same day over and over.
While he initially spends his days in self-loathing, also encountering a massive groundhog mascot that hilariously hits him on the head as he passes by every day (and he totally deserves it too), he eventually comes to his senses and looks to turning over a new leaf as he tries to win Rita over.
But not before indulging in his share of booze, women, and crime. Repeatedly, of course.
Karl's charm really comes to play here, as we can easily grow to hate Phil Connors. After all, he's literally the worst. Yet somehow, watching him suffer this forever purgatory, you can't help but both root for his liberation and also hope he's stuck there for all eternity. Karl's performance in the West End run of the show earned him an Olivier for Best Actor in a Musical last week.
It helps that Broadway newcomer Barrett Doss is an excellent match for Karl, their chemistry undeniable, like her talent. The role (and some of the songs) hint that she's more than the boring, hard-working producer that we're led to believe (largely in part to her interactions with Connors), but, underneath the surface, a quirkier soul searching for love. Doss plays that side of Rita with enormous heart and playful charm and wit.
The show also offers a few solos of other Punxsutawney citizens, who express their own joys, worries, and troubles of life in the small town.
Minchin, director Matthew Warchus, Rob Howell (set design), Hugh Vanstone (light design), Paul Kieve (illusions), and Peter Darling (choreography) prove that when the creative team shares the same vision, magic can happen, as evident in the first act's amazing car-chase number with Phil, two idiot bar patrons, and the Punxsutawney police — one of the most fun sequences I've seen on Broadway since … everything in Matilda, which featured the same creative team behind this musical.
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed Groundhog Day, and, honestly, wouldn't mind being stuck in a suburban purgatory with Phil and company again… and again.
Groundhog Day plays at the August Wilson Theatre.

Billy Porter Returns to Huntington Theatre Company to Direct Topdog/Underdog
Billy Porter is back in the director's chair! After a busy 2016, the Tony winner has reunited with the Huntington Theatre Company to bring Suzan-Lori Parks' Topdog/Underdog to the BU Theatre Stage. The play is as famous as the man calling the shots. With a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and incredible casts from both regional and Broadway productions, it's a show you don't want to miss.
Topdog/Underdog tells the story of two brothers and their reliance on each other to survive the world of gambling, relationships, poverty, and racism. Forced to live with his brother after his wife kicks him out, a former Three-card Monte player, aptly named Lincoln, ends up taking a job as a Lincoln impersonator while the younger brother, Booth, turns to shoplifting.
Matthew J. Harris returns to the Huntington stage as the hot-headed Booth, having recently played Antwoine at Huntington in Kirsten Greenidge's Milk Like Sugar. Tyrone Mitchell Henderson (Bring In Da' Noise Bring in Da Funk tour) plays opposite Harris as Lincoln.
The play premiered Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in July of 2001, directed by George C. Wolfe, and starring Don Cheadle as Booth and Jeffrey Wright as Lincoln. It then opened on Broadway in April 2002, with Mos Def replacing Cheadle. One year later, the show's cast transferred to London's Royal Court Theatre.
While Billy Porter has given us Tony-winning performances and incredible albums, his return to Huntington brings a special kind of anticipation. His 2015 production of The Colored Museum shook audiences with its grit and unapologetic comedy. Though different in tone, the topical Topdog/Underdog is sure to ignite conversations about family and community. Porter's attentiveness and exceptional talent have already been praised by local publications, and his keen sense of musicality and gift of communication will give new life to the Broadway classic.
The show currently runs through April 9th. For tickets and more information, visit Huntington Theatre.

Nicholas Christopher Brings the Heat to Broadway in Miss Saigon
The heat is on in Saigon as the Olivier and Tony-winning musical, featuring the epic onstage helicopter landing, returns to Broadway after a 16-year hiatus. Two decades ago, a visually stunning, tragic masterpiece graced London stages and then on Broadway in 2001. Written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, and produced by Cameron Mackintosh, the same team that brought us Les Misérables, Miss Saigon celebrates its 25th anniversary, having been reworked in London for modern audiences since its original Broadway debut.
Based on the classic Puccini opera Madame Butterfly, the musical follows the budding romance between an American GI, Chris, and a Vietnamese bar-girl named Kim. There's an instant attraction, yet with the end of the Vietnam War and the fall of Saigon, Chris must flee the country, leaving Kim behind. In their three years apart, they build new lives, with Kim eagerly awaiting Chris' return.
Image: Matthew Murphy/The Publicity Office
This time around, Hamilton's former George Washington, Nicholas Christopher, joins the cast as John. Broadway audiences have seen Christopher in Motown the Musical and Hamilton as well as the Off-Broadway productions of Lazarus, The Tempest, Whorl Inside a Loop, and Rent. Broadway veteran Katie Rose Clarke (Wicked, Allegiance, The Light in the Piazza) stars alongside him, with Jon Jon Briones as The Engineer, Eva Noblezada as Kim, Rachelle Ann Go as Gigi, Alistair Brammer, as Chris, and Devin IIaw as Thuy making their Broadway debuts.
Directed by Laurence Connor, the creative team also includes choreography by Bob Avian, costume design by Andreane Neofitou, lighting design by Bruno Poet, sound design by Mick Potter, and projection design by Luke Halls.
Previews began March 1st with an official March 23rd opening at the Broadway Theatre, incidentally the same theatre it debuted. The show will run through January 2018 before launching a North American tour.

... is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. See:
- Running the ball up the gut repeatedly at 2 of the Dolphins best defenders.
- Continously going into soft zones at the end of games on the road. The most disheartening part is the fact that we've now blown leads late in the game against 'Zona, Detroit, and Miami.
- Game planning not to lose rather than to win, on the road. We see it with Bevell's offensive game plans and especially the way he handled the last drive on offense in regulation. When Russell is allowed to run the show out there he does a pretty damn good job. Bevell overthinks it and everything goes to hell. We see it with Bradley at the end of games on the road, specifically when the Hawks are leading. We go into retreat mode which leads to missed assignments, blown coverages, etc.
- Continually using Leroy Hill in pass coverage
- Expecting Walter Thurmond III to ever play haha
And last but not least...
- Expecting the Seahawks to take the innitiative on the road and win a game in "hostile" territory. I'll believe it when I see it from now on.
There were positives to build on from this game, namely RUSSELL WILSON. Other than that? This game just cuts ya deep and makes you think a lot. I need to get out of the house and do something, I can't watch this 49ers game right now. Keep your heads up 12's. Onward and upwards, it's the only way!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Fresh evidence is emerging that the U.S. economy is slowing in the second quarter. Stock prices continued to slide as earnings disappointed, and the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators pointed down.Next week the Commerce Department will likely report that GDP growth rebounded from 0.4% in the fourth quarter to more than 3% in the first quarter. However, this was caused by a recovery in inventory and defense purchases, which were uncharacteristically weak last fall, and a surge in consumer spending in January and February, resulting from extraordinarily large year-end bonuses. Those factors will not repeat in the second quarter, and Jan. 1 tax increases are starting to bite -- consumers appear to have tightened down on spending and their confidence in the outlook for the economy wanes. Among the Conference Board's leading indicator components that pointed south were a shorter average work week, rising initial unemployment claims, fewer manufacturing orders (as measured by the Institute for Supply Chain Management) and fewer building permits. Moreover, the Philadelphia Fed index of manufacturing activity slipped, in line with the weakening suggested by the most recent ISM manufacturing indicators.
Thursday, I wrote on the TheStreet that structural factors -- inadequately addressed by the administration's response to the financial crisis -- continue to hamper the economy. Growth should slip to below 2% in the second quarter, and the job market will remain difficult.
In a nutshell, without more business-sensitive regulatory policies, fewer and less expensive health care mandates, more assertive international trade policies and more aggressive development of domestic oil reserves, the U.S. economy will continue to grow in fits and starts at best and constantly face the danger of a double dip recession. Almost four years into the economic recovery, the Fed continues to purchase $85 billion in long-term Treasury and mortgage-backed securities each month, indicating some considerable level of desperation. Those easy money policies have created asset bubbles in urban real estate, corporate equity and bonds and agricultural land markets -- if those burst, the economy could easily head south. Without radical changes in national economic policies, Americans face slow growth, higher taxes and stagnant or falling wages.

Sad day for many Labour Party members as the leadership caves in to Zionist pressures and adopts dodgy IHRA code on 'anti-'semitism.'. So pleased I'm not in this party.
Today is 2 years since the coup removed president @dilmabr, overturning 54 million votes.
RT this by @DerbyChrisW @TariqAliTV Benjamin Zephaniah + others & "stand with the millions of Brazilians resisting ongoing attacks on democracy & social progress" ↓
John McCain's legacy is one of aggressive interventionist foreign policy and promoting far-right nationalist anti-science idiocy at home.
But let's not speak ill of the dead.
Attempts to weaken and destroy Corbyn continue unabated. Rabbi Sacks compares Corbyn to Enoch Powell. He must be nutty or is it the Israeli embassy, sensing victory, and going for the kill? Backed by hard-core Remainers led by Blair and gang.

Funeral services will be held for Fr. Blase Burniston, a Franciscan Friar of the Atonement, who died at Holy Name Community, Ringwood, New Jersey, Saturday, November 4, 2006. He was 84 years old.
Fr. Burniston was born Henry Burniston in Brooklyn, New York City and attended public schools in Jersey City, New Jersey before entering the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement Graymoor in 1940. He received the habit in 1944 and professed his first vows in 1945. He professed his final vows in 1948. He graduated from Catholic University in Washington, D.C. with a Bachelor's degree in philosophy and did graduate work there and in Rome where he was ordained to the priesthood in 1951.
Fr. Burniston then continued his studies at the Gregorian University in Rome until 1957 when he returned to the U.S. to join the faculty at St. John's Atonement Seminary in Montour Falls, New York. Two years later he was named director of the Catholic Central Library in London, and also head of the newly founded St. Francis Friary in London. Over the years he served in several assignments at Graymoor, including
director of the Vocation department, co-director of the Community Development department, director of St. Christopher's Inn, and director of the Public Relations and Communications departments.
In addition, he served in the pastoral ministry in Windsor, Ontario and Jatai, Brazil, and as rector of the Church of Sant' Onofrio in Rome. Fr. Burniston is the son of the late Henry and Elizabeth Burniston. He is survived by a brother, Raymond Burniston of Old Bridge, New Jersey, and a sister, Letitia McGurk of Arvada, Colorado. Another brother, James Burniston, and a sister, Elizabeth Reggiani, are deceased. A wake service will be held at Holy Name Community Sunday, November 5, at 4:30pm.
On Monday, November 6, a wake service was held at Graymoor in Little Flower Chapel. The Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Tuesday morning, November 7, in the Little Flower Chapel at Graymoor.

Legends of the Star – Crazy Ray Jones
This weeks Legend Of The Star is dedicated to someone who never played a down for the Dallas Cowboys, but was on hand for more Cowboys games than even Tom Landry, Emmitt Smith, and yes, Jerry Jones. Of course I am referring to Crazy Ray, who passed away Saturday morning after a prolonged battle with heart ailments and diabetes.
His passionate affection for the Cowboys made him a legend in his own right and gave a new meaning to the word fan. His passing will be felt by everyone in the Cowboys family and that includes players, coaches, and fans alike.
For over 40 years, Crazy Ray touched the lives of thousands of Cowboys fans, and seeing him decked out in his western attire with six-shooters blazing will be missed by all. His passion for the team made him a national celebrity who made numerous talk show and radio show appearances, which revealed a man whose passion for life was just as important to him as his passion for the game.
His overflowing enthusiasm was a model not just for fans of the Cowboys, but for people everywhere in all walks of life. There was a lesson for all fans, in the way Crazy Ray lived his life. And while football players are so willing to admit that they are not role models these days, Crazy Ray was indeed a role model for us all.
So Starstruck gives a huge Texas-sized farewell to a true Legend of the Star who will be missed by us all. He is now among the stars in heaven, and if I know Crazy Ray, those stars are all silver and blue.

Spartans pull away from Minnesota in second half
East Lansing, MI – Garry Harris played with a bad back. Keith Appling hurt his shoulder. Despite all of the ailments, Michigan State looked plenty healthy in the second half.
Harris scored 15 points, Appling added 14 and the 12th-ranked Spartans downed No. 18 Minnesota, 61-50, behind a big 43-point second half.
Adreian Payne chipped in with 11 points and seven rebounds for the Spartans (19-4, 8-2 Big Ten), who have won eight of nine since a New Year's Eve loss to these Golden Gophers in Minneapolis.
"I felt like we just beat a very good basketball team. I don't think they played great and I don't think we played great," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "I am proud that we found a way to win and grinded it out."
Andre Hollins led Minnesota (17-6, 5-5) with 11 points and Trevor Mbakwe added nine points and 14 points in the loss. The Golden Gophers saw a two-game winning streak fall by the wayside.
The Spartans used a wave of long-range shots to open a double-digit lead nearly halfway through the second half. Harris, Appling and Denzel Valentine connected on 3-pointers for a 39-29 advantage then Braden Dawson stole an ill- advised pass and coasted in for the slam to cap an 11-0 burst.
Minnesota slowly worked its way back within striking distance, cutting the deficit to 47-41 after Hollins drained 1-of-2 free throws with a little over four minutes to go. The dynamic guard then made a 3-pointer and 1-of-2 free throws to reduce the deficit to 49-45 with just under three minutes to go, but that is as far as Minnesota could climb.
Michigan State received an easy layup from Appling and two free throws by Payne for a 53-45 margin, and a Golden Gopher turnover led to the start of a conventional three-point play by Harris for a 56-45 lead.
The Spartans held on from there for their eighth conference victory, as Appling exited late after an apparent shoulder injury.
"They're the best at getting the ball inside and getting the ball to the basket," Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said about Michigan State. "We did a pretty good job of defending it in the first half, but in the second half we just collapsed."
A shoulder-to-shoulder offensive struggle marked the opening 20 minutes. A halfcourt affair left few easy looks and plenty of missed shots, as both teams failed to break 40 percent shooting.
Michigan State scored seven of the game's first nine points and pushed out to a 13-6 margin on Harris' trey nearly 10 minutes in. The Golden Gophers attempted just nine shots during that stretch, as the Spartans controlled the game's pace.
Minnesota started to lock down on the defensive end and find seams on its possessions, rattling off eight straight with Mbakwe's free throw giving the visitors their first lead at 14-13 with just over 3 1/2 minutes to go.
Appling and Joe Coleman exchanged 3-pointers just before the horn, leaving the Gophers in front, 20-18. Michigan State shot 24 percent from the floor, including 2-of-16 from inside the arch.
Game Notes
Minnesota dropped to 3-4 in true road games ... Michigan State improved to 14-0 at the Breslin Center this season ... The Spartans have won 13 of the last 15 meetings with Minnesota and 14 in a row at home ... Michigan State didn't commit a first-half turnover and finished with only five for the game.

Samuel Johnson once said "when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life". In fact, the same could be said for all big cities. With a quick commute, easy access to major transport links and vibrant arts and culture right at your fingertips, living in a bustling metropolis can be challenging, fascinating and invigorating all at once. Unfortunately, a citycentre home sometimes comes with a compromise on space. Luckily there are a few easy steps you can follow to help make the most of the space you have and keep your busy life clutterfree.
Make your furniture multitask
The key to any wellorganised space is picking versatile furnishings. Think stools and pouffes that have storage inside, or a coffee table with a liftoff lid. The window seat is the holy grail, as there's plenty of storage space inside but it's neatly built in, so takes up barely any floor space. For your bathroom, a heated towel rail is a storage and drying solution in one. Hanging your pots and pans in the kitchen adds a decorative touch while keeping things tidy – ideal for narrow cooking spaces where there's not much room to manoeuvre.
If you've got it, use it
Plenty of homes have hidden nooks and corners that are overlooked or underutilised. An unused fireplace, for example, is a great space to store items or create an elegant display to impress guests. The space inside a shower is also often underestimated, consider using it to store cosmetics in stylish wallmounted trays. A tiny windowsill shouldn't be overlooked either – it can double as a bookshelf or storage for herbs and spices.
Think vertically
Avoid floor clutter by maximising the wall space you have available. Opt for a whole wall shelving unit, and paint it all one colour to make it seem like part of the room, creating the illusion of additional space. Alternatively, use that often forgotten space above your headboard for extra shelving – perfect for displaying decorative items such as trinket boxes and photo frames. Another way to maximise your floor space is to introduce stools into your kitchen or dining space – they're thinner than chairs and easy to tuck out of the way when not in use.
Throw as you go
Groceries and other deliveries often come with excess packaging. Try putting this into the recycling as soon as you open it, or better still, remove some of your food packaging while you're at the shop, and let them take care of the waste. Minimise mess as you live by keeping a bag tucked away and filling it with items of clothing you're no longer happy with, books you've finished and gifts you'll never use. Then, once a month, have a sort through and either recycle, donate or sell the contents.
Whether you're looking for a stylish new city-centre apartment or looking tu up-size to a larger place in the suburbs, visit Engel & Völkers or pop into your nearest shop today. Our local experts are ideally placed to find your perfect property and help you through every step of the buying process.

Angola inmate strikes guard with metal pan
Guard taken to hospital for treatment
Angola inmate strikes guard with metal pan
Guard taken to hospital for treatment
ANGOLA, La. —
Authorities say an inmate at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola allegedly attacked a female correctional officer with a metal serving pan.
The state Department of Corrections said in a news release received by The Advocate that Warner Wiley hit the officer in the face and head with the metal pan around 5 p.m. Monday.
The officer was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Warden Burl Cain said investigators have not yet determined what caused the attack.
Cain says another inmate helped save the officer's life by getting the attention of other officers during the attack.
Cain says Wiley has been at Angola since 1986 and is serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder conviction in Franklin Parish.
