State's chief homicide prosecutor visits Bedford police

BEDFORD — The chief homicide prosecutor in New Hampshire, Jane Young, visited Bedford police today, as the department continues its investigation into the assault against a Manchester anesthesiologist and his wife at their Bedford home Saturday night.
Young and Lt. James Geraghty, commander of the Major Crimes Unit, left the Bedford Police Department about 11 a.m. Tuesday. Young referred questions about the case to Bedford police or Hillsborough County Attorney Dennis Hogan.
"Because this is New Hampshire," Young said when asked why she was in Bedford.
Police Chief John Bryfonski said he had nothing new to release in the investigation involving the assault against Eduardo and Sonia Quesada. Eduardo, an anesthesiologist, received serious head wounds in a Saturday night assault at his upscale home at 7 Proclamation Court. As of Monday night, he was at Elliot Hospital, although officials at the hospital won't confirm he is there or give any description of his medical condition. His wife, whose injuries were less severe, was undergoing medical treatment Monday.
Bedford police have said the initial call at the home involved a burglary, but they have since said they have not ruled out other explanations for the assault.
The New Hampshire Attorney General, whose office investigates homicides in New Hampshire, does make appearances when police investigate life-threatening assault cases. However, it doesn't take over an investigation unless the victim dies.
Previous story follows:
BEDFORD - Although initial indications were that an anesthesiologist and his wife were injured during a burglary, police are not ruling out other explanations for the Saturday night assault at the home of Eduardo Quesada, a home where a domestic-related arrest took place a year earlier, the town police chief said today.
Quesada and his wife, Sonia Quesada, remained under medical treatment today, one of them with serious head injuries inflicted during what police initially believed was a burglary at their home at 7 Proclamation Court, Police Chief John Bryfonski said this afternoon.
"That (burglary) was the initial indication. We're not ruling in, we're not ruling out, any possibilities," he said. It is dangerous for investigators to do so in any investigation, he said.
Bryfonski confirmed that an arrest was made at the address in November 2011 following a call for a domestic disturbance. He said charges were dismissed and he thinks the arrest was annulled, a process that wipes clean any official record of the arrest. A subsequent Right-to-Know request submitted to Bedford police for records of that arrest and accompanying reports turned up nothing.
Quesada is an anesthesiologist at Amoskeag Anesthesiology, a Manchester-based pratice located on Elliot Way in Manchester.
"We are all very concerned for Dr. Quesada's health and well-being and hope that he makes a full recovery from his injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family," Elliot Hospital said in a release issued early this afternoon. The release said Quesada has worked closely with Elliot staff since 2000.
Meanwhile, police continued to investigate the crime, which resulted in what police described Sunday as massive head injuries to a 52-year-old male who owns the home at 7 Proclamation Court.
Bryfonski characterized the investigation as a "full court press" and said Bedford detectives, New Hampshire State Police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff Department are involved.
He said police have a person of interest in the case, but no one has been identified.
"If I had a name, I would give you a name," he said.
"There is nothing that we have that would suggest any of our residents in Bedford are any less safe than they usually are," Bryfonski said. He said, however, that residents should always be mindful of their surroundings and circumstances and contact police if they see anything suspicious.
Built in 2007, the Quesada house has been listed for sale for $1.4 million and is under contract, according to its listing website with the Bean Group. The site shows a elaborate house with timber-framed walls and cathedral ceilings, a wine cellar, flagstone fireplaces in a den and living room, a master bedroom with a third fireplace and south-facing view. The listing also said the house has a security system.
The 2.7 acre grounds include an inground pool, terraced stonework, granite steps and porch railings separated by flagstone pillars.
The crime scene van of the state police Major Crime Unit was parked in Quesada's driveway this afternoon. Police came in and out of the house wearing protective boot coverings. Others wore full body suits.
"We want to bring all forces to bear on cases that are appropriate to do so," Bryfonski said.
The young child who was in the house at the time of the assault has been turned over to a family member, he said.
Several neighbors told the New Hampshire Union Leader they heard nothing suspicious Saturday night.
With leaves off the trees, the rear of the Quesada house is visible from Spring Hill Road. Tom Tamulevich, who lives on Spring Hill Road, said police took impressions of a tire track from the shoulder of the road, which is a short 250 feet to the Quesada house.
Tamulevich said he let his Jack Russell terrier outside about 10 p.m. on Saturday - the time of the call to the Quesada house. When something is amiss, the dog barks, but it did nothing Saturday night, he said.
He brushed off any fears of home invaders in Bedford, in part because most people in the neighborhood have alarm and security systems.
"Everyone's too much on guard," he said.

WIMMERA junior athletes Anna Bush and Darcy Edgerton are primed for the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Sydney.
The pair will fly out for the championships, which start Wednesday, with Horsham athletics coach Ricky Price tomorrow for their events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Bush will contest the girls under-16 90-metre hurdles on Friday, long jump on Saturday and triple jump on Sunday, while Edgerton will contest the boys under-14 javelin on Friday and the four-by-100-metre relay.
Fellow Wimmera athlete Laura Hutchins had also qualified for the nationals in shot put, discus and hammer throw, but chose to withdraw.
Price said he was unsure why Hutchins withdrew, but was still happy to have two Wimmera athletes representing the region.
Bush - a Wimmera Sports Star of the Year nominee in 2013 - is in good form for the event after an impressive showing at the Little Athletics Victoria Western Country Region track and field championships at the end of February.
She picked up four gold medals and set new Western Region records in triple jump and long jump. The latter was a personal best.
Price said Bush had dealt with an illness and had stopped training for a few days, but was back on track and would be ready for her events.
He said Edgerton was also preparing well for his first national championships.
"In Darcy's last couple of outings he's been below his best, but we did a bit of training on Monday night and sorted a couple of things out," he said.
Price said both had a good chance to do well at the championships.
"It's Darcy's first time at that sort of competition and it's the first time for all the under-14s, so it's hard to say where he stands with the rest of them," he said.
"I think he's got a chance to get in the top eight - which is the final - if he throws well.
"Hurdles is probably Anna's third event, but last year she finished fourth in that and triple jump, and I reckon she's a good chance to be in the top four in those two again.
"If she jumps around her personal best form, she wouldn't be far off a medal."
The championships will coincide with the Australian Athletics Tour a series of senior track and field competitions showcasing Australia's best talent.
Junior athletes at the championships will get to meet senior champions including Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson.
Price said it would be a tremendous opportunity for Bush and Edgerton.
"It's a good experience to be up there and compete in that sort of thing, and then to see the seniors will be fantastic," he said.
"Anna missed out on meeting Sally Pearson in Perth last year so she's hoping to do it this year."

Excellent display of larger than life sculptures by Marshal Frederick's. Truly an asset to our community. A great place to go for quiet reflection and appreciation of art....Call ahead for hours.
We loved the sculptures in this museum, and the peacefulness. Glad we were able to take pictures. Mi Husband does sculptures so this was really amazing to see what tools they worked with back then.. It was just so many vida sculptures by Fredericks inside and outside. Loved the campus, we walked around it was such a nice day. We...
The sculpture found inside and outside of this Museum was beautiful and well worth the short trip to find it. Free parking and admission also. It is nice to have a superior museum in Saginaw.
Based on Tripadvisor reviews, I wanted to stop in to the museum on way to Mackinaw City. What was initially intended as a way to spend a few hours on the way northward through Michigan became one of the highlights of our trip.
Outside the museum are many of the sculptures. Inside are numerous plaster models used in creating finished...
Wonderful pieces of work inside and out at the campus of the University- really enjoyed looking at and taking pictures of them! Not especially keen on sculpture usually but these were amazing and it is well worth the trip to see them.
My group stopped here during a convention and I'm so glad they did. I had absolutely no idea this museum even existed. The saddest part is that I didn't have enough time to take everything in. Although the museum is small there is so much information to read about pertaining to each sculpture. The ambiance in the museum is very...
I know people who have lived in Saginaw their whole lives and have never visited the museum. It is truly something to be proud of. Located on the lovely campus of Saginaw Valley State University, the museum houses a vast collection of Fredericks sculptures. Fans of The Cross in the Woods in Indian River should see the exhibit.
Stopped here to break up drive to Mackinac Island but this would be a destination in itself. Small museum on a college campus with wonderful scuptures inside and out, with fascinating signs to read. There's also a depiction of the artists studio with signage and videos that clearly explain the process. And its free. Absolutely loved it!
WOW! what can I say?? This place takes your breath away and right in the middle of the city. When you are walking through the gardens, you don't even realize where you are. Everyone was so nice and the place is super clean and it even has a children's garden with interactive exhibits. Well worth the money and the tri!
This is a nice place to visit. The sculptures are huge and all have a small description beside it.There is free parking and free admission. It is in the Sagniaw university and very easy to get to. The staff are very informative . There are sculptures outside as well. If you are in the area it is worth the visit.
If you own or manage Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers.

Listen to the latter above. The lyric "I'd rather be a comma/ Than a full stop" sounds less dopey when Robyn sings it.

I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was watching the video for Coldplay's latest single "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", and I swear to Gwyneth that the version that the band just dropped on their website is almost exactly what I watched in my dream. It's a fairly straightforward performance clip, with time-lapsed footage of the band rocking out in a decrepit area as the lyrics and other animated designs come alive in chalk-like form around them. Man, is it just me, or is Coldplay's new look pretty nü-ravey these days? Check it out here.

Hear the New Coldplay Single
By Tom Breihan on June 3, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Coldplay: "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall":
Coldplay have been working on their Brian Eno-produced Viva La Vida follow-up for a couple of years, and now they've finally opted to share a new single with us. New track "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" can be heard above, via the band's website. Click here to read the lyrics. Somebody actually had to type this out: "OH / IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL / A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL."
Today, the song will be up for sale on digital retailers in most of the world. In the UK, it'll be out June 5. UPDATE: NME points out that "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" samples 1970s singer/songwriter Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio"; hear the original below.
New Coldplay Single Out This Week
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 31, 2011 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
That ultra-colorful, spray-paint-festooned image you see above is the cover art for Coldplay's new single, "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall". The band just announced the track on their website this morning; it'll be streamed on their site and digitally released this Friday, June 3 (those in the UK will be able to buy it the next day). According to a statement from drummer Will Champion, the band plans to perform the song at their festival appearances this summer, including this weekend's Rock Im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany.
If you head over to the band's site now, you can read the lyrics to the song, which include the following couplet: "Don't want to see another generation drop/ I'd rather be a comma than a full stop." Real talk: If there's one band that shouldn't be releasing lyrics before people hear the actual music, it's probably Coldplay.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Massimiliano Giornetti created a Fall '12 collection for Salvatore Ferragamo so Russian in its references, you wouldn't have been surprised to find out that the peasant dresses or astrakhan-tipped coats came with their own bottles of vodka. (Cheers to that idea, or as the Russians say: Nazdarovye!) So it's only fitting that for Fashion's Night Out, the Ferragamo store on Fifth Avenue is celebrating Russophile-style, with a party hosted by Moscow style queens Elena Perminova, Anya Ziourova, and Miroslava Duma (pictured). (Russian pop band Tesla Boy will be making its first ever stateside appearance as well.) Street-style star Duma admits that it's only for love of Ferragamo and Mother Russia that she's making it to New York fashion week this season; taking care of her young son and implementing world domination plans for her Web site, Buro 24/7, don't leave her much spare time for shows, or dressing for them. But Ferragamo's invitation was too good to pass up. "People are really fascinated by Russia right now," Duma notes. "Which makes sense, because we were hidden for so long. And for me, it's a great thing, to be given the opportunity to show New Yorkers some Russian culture. And," she adds, "to show them, maybe, it's different than they think." Here, Duma talks to Style.com about the Muscovite moment, borrowing and buying, and what she really thinks about Pussy Riot.
You're one of a cohort of Russian street-style stars. Why do you think Russians are the It girls on the blogs right now?
Eh, we're the new thing. You know how fashion is—there's always got to be a new look, a new idea, a new story. For a moment, street-style blogs were the new thing; now they have to look for a new thing. So today it's Russians.
Do you think there's a distinctively Russian sense of style?
I think Russia is still figuring out its style. Look at the history—we had cultural stagnation for like, 75 years. And in the Soviet Union, it really was, you had to wait outside in the cold to buy toilet paper. That scene in Moscow on the Hudson, that was a real thing. So in the 1990s, when we discovered oil, and this sheik era of Russia began, of course everyone wanted to buy the most expensive things. And they wanted to show off. I was a kid when this was going on, but I remember a rich woman saying to me, Listen, if you want to buy Versace, you make sure you buy something with a big logo, because otherwise, it's a waste of money. Even later, at the beginning of the 2000s, I can remember going to into bars in Moscow and seeing at least five girls wearing the same Dolce & Gabbana logo jeans.
Now, Russians are more educated about fashion, and people with money, they want something unique. Unique and discreet. A couture suit, maybe. If it's one of a kind, they'll spend for that. And also now, there are different ways to be stylish. I mean, there's always a woman in Russia who, you know, she's got a rich husband who doesn't know about fashion but who buys all her clothes, and he wants her to look sexy. And there are these girls, and some of them look really great, I must say, who are the daughters of very rich men, and they buy whole looks from Céline or Proenza. They want to look super-cool. And there are also the fashion professionals, who travel for work, and who know the little vintage places in Paris or London, and they mix and match a lot of things.
Do you like getting photographed for street-style blogs? I feel like it would stress me out. I mean, how much time do you spend putting together your fashion week outfits?
Donna Karan said if it takes you more than 20 minutes to get dressed, then you've got a problem. I live by that. I won't spend a lot of time planning my outfits, even at fashion week. But I don't have to—I mean, my talent in life is, I have a good imagination to put together an outfit. I'm not the most beautiful girl, I don't write poems, I don't make music, I'm not the best tennis player, but I can create a look, you know?
Has the attention changed the way you dress?
Yeah…Sometimes I'll do a crazy outfit I know fashion people will appreciate, but then I look at myself and think, wow, if my husband saw me now, he'd say, are you OK? In my normal life, I mostly wear, like, jeans. Simple things.
Do you own everything you wear that gets shot for the blogs?
I probably shouldn't say this, but a lot of my clothes are borrowed. I'm sure people look at me and think, Pfff, this girl, she's just a silly girl with a credit card with no limit. But that's not true! Maybe no designer will loan to me now…I mean, isn't the whole point that girls think I bought the dress from so-and-so, so they go out and buy that dress?
So I went to look at your Web site, Buro 24/7, but it's in Russian. Looks good, but what is it?
Buro is a news site that provides quality information on fashion, art, architecture, culture, books, social life. Basically it's a source that keeps you posted on everything interesting that happens in the world—the kind of stuff you can talk about with people you don't really know, after you've talked about the weather.
Any plans to expand outside of Russia?
We already have! We recently launched, by license, a European edition based in Croatia, and we're planning to open a London office very soon and start an English edition. Plus there's a Middle East version I already have partners for, and we hope to do an Asian version of Buro, and so on.
I mean this kindly: You really don't look like the mastermind of an international media empire. Like, you're very cute.
Thank you.
Speaking of cute Russian girls out to change the world…
Are you going to ask me about Pussy Riot?
Well, they've really become a cause célèbre in the West. But I have a sneaking suspicion that opinions are different inside Russia. What's your take?
My opinion is that these are very stupid girls. OK, so they have problems with the president—no president is perfect. But what did they change? Who did they help? How did they improve the situation in Russia? All they did was start an argument. And offend and humiliate people who believe in God. That's it. I do a lot of charity work, there are many orphans in Russia who need help, so it's not like all I see is rich people and fashion. I know there are things in this country that could be better. But this…Ugh. You know, people who say, oh, Pussy Riot is so great—I feel like, they don't know what's happening in Russia, they don't know how Russians think, what they've experienced. I'd love to ask some of these people, who love Pussy Riot, if they can tell me anything else—any single thing—about the political situation in Russia today. I'd be very surprised if many people took the time to find out more about what's happening.
So I guess you've got some opinions about this whole thing.
Everyone in Russia has an opinion. [Sighs.] Look, I love America. Everyone's so kind and positive. They don't know what it's like in Russia—I mean, this is a silly example, but if you look at comments on street-style blogs, in Russia it's all ugly. There's a lot of envy. But in the States, you know, there's some of that but there's also people making compliments. You never get a compliment in Russia. So you have to understand with these girls, these stupid girls, that what they did was triple the negativity.
Anything you're particularly looking forward to for Fashion's Night Out? Are you a big Tesla Boy fan?
I just like that there's this event to celebrate shopping. Sometimes I feel, men really are lucky—they're strong, they don't get pregnant, they can sleep with many women, and no one cares—but women, they have fashion. We have this pleasure, to go shopping and play with beautiful clothes, and no one ever takes it seriously but it's important, you know? Russia, for more than 70 years, we didn't get to shop. We didn't have fashion. So maybe we appreciate this idea more than most people.
I had always been a big fan of Miroslava's street style but now I think I like her even more. She sounds confident, opinionated and so real. As an ardent fashion follower and an immigrant I can totally relate to her even more because of how she uses even her fashion as a an ambassadorial medium…..her love for Russia shines through.
another rich russian doll. she has never done a job in her lifetime, she "runs" a useless website nobody reads just to do something after she became popular among street blogs. She knows about russia less than any western citizen BECAUSE she probably lives in her fairy tale world. What exactely this woman does for a living? Who is she married to? Who is her father? to be so rich…The failure of the comunist era. Charity? don't make me laugh, she spends more money on a single manicure than in any charity work. Bleah!
Mira is my hero. She is so smart, confident, compassionate, fashionable, and beautiful! What an amazing business woman and person in general. Loved this interview!
Come on! she does not even dress well, she's got no imagination, she's not chic, smart not even cool…
She's just a rich girl with money but no taste, living the "wonderful fashion world" with her daddy's money.
I don't like her at all, she looks so terrible the most of the times… can't understand her internet success, maybe is because she´s always wearing very expensive brands whith hes daddy's money (Russian senator). Talking about charity nowadays is so ridiculous.
please stop giving wings to this kind of persons!!

"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."
"This card is so beautiful, family members called specifically to comment on its quality. It is a treasured momento for family members! I couldn't be happier."
"Not ever using tiny prints before, I didn't know what kind of quality I would receive. All I can say is that the quality exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved the announcement! I am glad I upgraded my paper to the pearlescent because it really pulled together the softness of the announcement. I am still getting compliments and rave reviews from friends and family on how beautiful the announcement is. I also liked that there was room for all of my favorite newborn photos. I even ended up reordering additional announcements for posterities sake."
"We absolutely love the way this birth announcement came out. The quality of the card stock is great and the envelopes are nice and thick too. Everyone That we've sent the card to loves it and some have even said that they want to use the same card when they have children. Overall we are very pleased with the quality of the product and with the service received. We would highly recommend it to others."
"I could not be happier with this product and the service I received in making and receiving these announcements!! Absolute perfection!"

Doege throws seven TD passes in Texas Tech's 56-53 triple-overtime win over TCU
Seth Doege threw seven touchdowns, three in overtime, and No. 18 Texas Tech won 56-53 at Texas Christian after blowing a late 10-point lead...
FORT WORTH, Texas — Seth Doege threw seven touchdowns, three in overtime, and No. 18 Texas Tech won 56-53 at Texas Christian after blowing a late 10-point lead Saturday.
The game-winning pass was an 8-yard throw to Alex Torres, which came four plays after Jaden Oberkrom's school-record sixth field goal had put TCU ahead. Both teams scored touchdowns in the first two overtime periods.
TCU (5-2, 2-2), the Big 12 newcomer, has lost consecutive home games for the first time since 1999. After losing the final two home games in 1998, they lost the 1999 season opener at home.
Doege completed 30 of 42 passes for 318 yards and Texas Tech (6-1, 3-1) is already bowl eligible a year after its first losing season since 1992.
TCU's Trevone Boykin was 26 of 44 for 332 yards with four touchdowns.
Other games
No. 4 Kansas State 55,
at No. 17 West Virginia 14
Collin Klein ran for four touchdowns and threw three TD passes as Kansas State got little resistance from West Virginia in a victory that turned a matchup of Heisman Trophy contenders into campaign ad for the Wildcats' quarterback.
Klein was 19 for 21 for a career-high 323 yards and ran for 41 yards for the Wildcats (7-0, 4-0 Big 12).
It was no surprise the Mountaineers (5-2, 2-2) were awful on defense, it's been that way all season. For the second straight game, though, Geno Smith and the offense did nothing to keep it close.
Smith followed up a clunker at Texas Tech last week with an even worse game, throwing his first two interceptions of the season and finishing 21 for 32 for 143 yards.
No. 1 Alabama 44,
at Tennessee 13
A.J. McCarron threw four touchdown passes and passed for a career-high 306 yards as the Crimson Tide trounced Tennessee at Neyland Stadium. Freshman receiver Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns, while freshman running back T.J. Yeldon ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.
At No. 5 Notre Dame 17,
Brigham Young 14
Theo Riddick pounded his way for a career-high 143 yards and Cierre Wood had 114 yards.
Riddick had runs of 55 and 27, the two longest rushes of his career, to pace Notre Dame (7-0), which is off to its best start in a decade and has a big game ahead against No. 10 Oklahoma next week. The Cougars (4-4) fell to 0-3 on the road as they surrendered a season-high 270 yards rushing.
Backup quarterback Tommy Rees, starting in place of injured Everett Golson, completed 6 of 7 passes in the first quarter for 86 yards and a touchdown, throwing four of those to Tyler Eifert. But Rees missed his next seven passes and the Irish attempted only three passes in the second half.
No. 6 Louisiana State 24,
at No. 20 Texas A&M 19
Jeremy Hill rushed for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, and the Tigers rallied from an early deficit.
Michael Ford also had a touchdown run and Zach Mettenberger threw a TD pass to Kadron Boone for the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference), who scored 21 points off four Texas A&M turnovers.
A&M (5-2, 2-2) outplayed the Tigers for much of the first half and led 12-0, LSU's largest deficit since the national championship game against Alabama in January. But the Aggies gave away two costly turnovers just before halftime, and Boone's diving catch in the end zone with 11 seconds left put LSU up 14-12 at the break. Hill finished off A&M with a 47-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Johnny Manziel, A&M's dual-threat redshirt freshman quarterback, completed 29 of 56 passes for 276 yards, but threw three interceptions and was sacked three times. He was held to 27 yards on 17 carries.
At No. 7 Ohio State 29,
Purdue 22 (OT)
Backup Kenny Guiton came off the bench in relief of injured Braxton Miller — who was taken to the hospital and had his shoulders, head and neck evaluated — to lead touchdown drives in the final minute of regulation and Carlos Hyde scored on a 1-yard run in overtime.
Purdue (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten) led 22-14 when Ohio State got the ball with just 47 seconds left in regulation. Guiton, inserted when Miller went out with an undisclosed injury, hit Chris Fields on a 2-yard touchdown pass with 3 seconds remaining. Guiton then found freshman Jeff Heuerman on the conversion pass to tie it at 22.
Hyde scored on a short plunge for Ohio State (8-0, 4-0) before Purdue's Caleb TerBush, who had two TD passes, misfired on four passes in the overtime.
At No. 10 Oklahoma 52, Kansas 7
Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns, and Oklahoma (5-1, 3-1 Big 12) scored on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game for the first time in school history while clobbering Kansas (1-6, 0-4).
Justin Brown made up for a lost fumble on his previous punt return by running his next chance back 90 yards and diving at the pylon for the score. Roy Finch then opened the second half with a 100-yard runback to stretch the lead to 45-0.
At No. 24 Boise State 32,
D.J Harper rushed for two touchdowns and a dominating defense added one to help the Broncos (6-1) to their sixth straight win since an opening loss at Michigan State.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Senior Cindy Jo Allen, junior Garratt Hageman and sophomore Tucker Jackson will give the Whitman College swim teams a trio of top-flight swimmers to build around in the season that gets underway with a pair of dual meets on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14.
Jackson made a big impact last year as a freshman, setting a new school record in the 50-yard freestyle and earning honorable mention All-American honors in both the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle events at the NAIA national championships.
Jackson, along with other swimmers at Whitman and throughout the Northwest Conference, face a much tougher task if they hope to return to national competition this winter. Whitman and most schools in the conference have completed their switch in national affiliation to NCAA Division III, which requires significantly faster times to qualify for national competition.
Jackson is one swimmer who might master the tougher times, Whitman coach Jay Coleman said.
"Tucker looks better right now one month into training than he did almost all of last year," Coleman said. "Everything he is doing in practice indicates that he will be faster than he was last year, maybe much faster. He has the best chance of anyone on our team of making NCAA III cuts. I think 70/30 in his favor is a good guess on his chances."
Hageman also had a huge freshman season two years ago, setting school records in the freestyle events at 500, 1,000 and 1,650 yards. He did not swim last season, but his school records still stand. He also shares school records in two relay events.
"Again, like Tucker, Garrett looks better at this point of the season than I can remember," Coleman said. "I am very pleased with how he has rebounded from a year away from swimming. Seeing his focus and the quality of his workouts at this point of the season, I think he will break each of his three school records and has a shot at the NCAA qualifying time in the 1,650. Garrett has great internal drive, and being able to train with Tucker is also a huge plus."
Allen was a study in inspiration last season, battling back from chronic shoulder problems to qualify late in the season for nationals in the 100-yard butterfly.
"Cindy Jo came within a fraction of a second of breaking the school record in the 100 butterfly, and she did it with 1,000 to 1,500 yards of training per day for just six weeks," Coleman said. "This year her shoulders are much better and she is swimming around 3,000 yards a day, which she hopefully can continue for the next five months. It scares me to think about how good she could be this season."
The conditional NCAA III national qualifying in the 100-yard butterfly is just over one minute, a time Coleman believes Allen can achieve. "I also think Cindy Jo might give the team record a scare in the 200 individual medley."
Coleman lists eight swimmers, six women and two men, in his next tier of competitors, all of whom have a good opportunity to score individual points in the conference championship meet.
One of the men is junior Dave Poore, who made the consolation finals in two freestyle events (100 and 200 yards) at the conference meet last year.
"Technically we have made big strides with Dave's stroke this year, which should translate into faster times," Coleman said. "I expect him to place higher this year in both of his best freestyle events and to make the top 16 in the 50-yard freestyle as well."
The other conference scoring threat on the men's team is Brian Wright, a junior butterfly specialist.
"Brian's times at this point in the season are better than they were either his freshman or sophomore year," Coleman said. "His season will be a little disjointed, however. In December, he is traveling to Thailand for a wedding, and in January he is going to Costa Rica with the Whitman class on volcanoes."
Carol Brooks, a junior, is one swimmer Coleman will lose altogether at the semester break.
"Carol will only swim the first semester because she is going to Vienna, Austria, in the spring," he said. "But even in a very short season she will put up some of our best times in the 50 and 100 freestyles. I only wish I had her all season."
Oddly enough, as Coleman loses one competitor to Vienna at the semester break, he will gain another swimmer who will return to campus after spending the fall semester in Austria. Brooks, in essence, is trading places with Jennifer Weiss, also a junior.
"Jennifer is an extremely versatile swimmer who will be a valuable asset when she returns," Coleman said. "As a freshman she qualified for nationals in breaststroke, backstroke and the individual medley."
Lani Schepler, a native of Walla Walla, is Coleman's top freshman this season.
"Lani grew up swimming in the local YMCA program, and she has always been a successful swimmer because of a great work ethic," Coleman said. "While she swims all events well, her main goals this year are in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle. Her best times coming into our program would have qualified for NAIA nationals last year. If she has a good year, she should score points at the conference championship meet."
One of the swimmers back from last year's team is junior Katie Berger.
"Her best events will be the 200-yard breaststroke, 500-yard freestyle and the 1,650-yard freestyle," Coleman said. "She has been a breaststroker for most of her swimming career, but at the end of last season we discovered that she does well in the mid- to long-distance freestyle events. We plan to develop her freestyle ability, and I think she the potential top be a high finisher at conference in the 1,650. Katie also is one of the best students on campus."
Audrey Gardiner, a freshman butterflyer, is concentrating on overcoming a bad back. "Through rehabilitation in the training room and changes in technique, I expect Audrey to be a competitive swimmer in both the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events."
Heather Kelly and Annie Findlay are sophomores who did not swim last year. "Heather has a lot of potential in the freestyle and backstroke events," Coleman said. "Annie's best events should be the breaststroke and freestyle events."
Rounding out the roster are nine swimmers who are relatively inexperienced or fighting more serious injuries
Sarah Cochran, a junior, continues to struggle on a daily basis with a knee problem that sidelined her last season. "She is not able to kick much, which means she will probably swim more distance freestyle than anything else because it requires less kicking," Coleman said. "Sarah along with freshman Jamee Nowlin are great inspirations to the entire team with their dedication to rehabilitate very difficult injuries."
As a high school junior, before suffering a shoulder injury, Nowlin posted extremely fast butterfly times that came close to Whitman school records. "Jamee is extremely committed to rehabilitating her shoulder, but it will probably take time before she returns to form," Coleman said. "I am still very positive about Jamee because of our recent history with rehabilitating Cindy Jo Allen."
Another swimmer on the comeback trail is Brian Fenn, a junior tried to swim as a freshman and sophomore but was sidelined with injuries. "I think Brian is going to make it this year," Coleman said. "His best events this year should be the breaststroke, and there is a hope that he could swim the individual medleys by late this season or next year."
Rob Bechtllof, a sophomore, made a late-season surge during his freshman year after "enduring what seemed like never-ending illness," Coleman said. "This year Rob is much healthier and much stronger. I expect him to improve his times dramatically."
Aric Jarrett, a freshman, is expected to challenge for the fourth spot on the men's freestyle relay teams. "Aric is a relatively inexperienced swimmer whose best events should be the freestyles and the 100-yard butterfly," Coleman said.
Corey McBoyle, also a freshman, has not competed since he was in the eighth grade, but according to Coleman, "it's all coming back to him very quickly. I think his best events should be the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle events. Corey will be very good by the end of the season. I think he could be a great swimmer by the time he is a senior."
Art Riddle is another relatively inexperienced freshman who is making great improvement daily in practice. "I think with Art we are setting the foundation for years to come," Coleman said.
Josh Butchart, also a freshman, is a converted runner and water polo player. "His strengths look to be freestyle and breaststroke," Coleman said. "Josh fits into the inexperienced group, but he has the size and determination to eventually make himself into a fast swimmer."
A freshman on the women's team is Katherine Leitzel, who competed with the same club team, Swim Seattle, that helped develop Whitman's Tucker Jackson. "Katherine's goals are in the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyle," Coleman said. "She has already surpassed her lifetime bests in practice."

Dear UD Scorch,
'Sup, boo? I've been missing you. We haven't talked in a while (six months, give or take, but who's counting?).
I just wanted to holla and ask, "How are you?" How's my smokin'-hot, shimmery bronze liner love? Still the picture of pure perfection in a pencil?
Remember how we always loved to play in spring and summer? Whenever I'd bust out my beach bag and slip on my booty shorts (might as well work it while you can, right?), you were always right there for me, ready to help with the bronze and gold eye makeup looks I was wearing.
I wonder, are you the same way…?
I bet you are. I bet you'd like me to swipe you along my lash lines, wouldn't 'cha? Just us, from the break of dawn till late at night, no fading, no smudging — nothing to break our bond.
I've been thinking about you again. A lot. And all of the things I want to do with you…like wearing you as a base for shimmery bronze eyeshadows.
Remember that time I layered you with UD's Half Baked on top? That was smokin' hot.
Oh! — or that time I wore you with MAC Woodwinked? Hotter than a five-alarm fire.
The 411 on Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Scorch
What is it? A silky soft $20 long-wearing shimmery bronze pencil liner with silver micro-glitter. Available now at Urban Decay counters and urbandecay.com.
Who might lurve it? Anyone who likes wearing warm bronze and gold shades on their eyes.
When's a good time to wear it? How 'bout now? Or any time of year, but I think it comes into its own in spring and summer because it looks faboo with a tan.
What else? It's a great liner alternative to basic brown and black.
How do you rock it? You can wear it as a straight-up eyeliner or as a base for powder shadows. It goes well with coral or hot pink cheeks and lips.

Negative: 1 out of 13
By the time this irresistible treat is over, it has created some of the funniest moments and most inspired visual humor and design we may expect to experience at the movies all year. [30 Mar 1988]
Hilarious The joy of Beetlejuice is its completely bizarre -- but perfectly realized -- view of the world, a la Gary Larson's "The Far Side," or "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." [1 Apr 1988]
Beetlejuice means something good: that imaginative artists can bring a fading genre back from the dead. [11 Apr 1988]
For all the film's popped eyeballs and severed limbs, Beetlejuice retains an innocence that makes the grotesque humor very appealing. Burton has captured the sweet ghoulishness of a 12-year-old pouring over horror comics, dreaming of the greatest Halloween costume ever invented. [30 Mar 1988]
Only about half of the disconnected gags and oddball conceits pay off, but their gleeful delivery takes up most of the slack.
It's two hours of your life wasted, time once spent that can never be regained. Don't go. Don't do it. [30 Mar 1988]

Feb 2, 2013Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!! 'The Ghost with the Most' is brought back from the afterlife thanks to Tim Burton's twisted imagination and the wacky writings of Michael McDowell and Warren Skaaren. In order to rid themselves of a pesky new family, a recently deceased couple hires the obnoxious ghoul Beetlejuice to perform a "bio-exorcism" and earn back their house! BEETLEJUICE is filled with oddball characters and eccentric performances from the entire cast. HOME ALONE's Catherine O'Hara is wickedly funny as the family's New Age hipster wife, who is married to Jeffrey Jones in another of his quirky character roles. A young Winona Ryder plays their morbid daughter Lydia, the one person who is able to communicate with the dead. And then, of course, there is Michael Keaton in the most unusual and unexpected performances of his career. Beetlejuice is crass, vulgar, and disgusting... And we love him! He is the undead equivalent to the classic Acme characters pushed to their fiendish extremes. The make-up and special effects are superb and highly original, combining traditional stop-motion animation with modern prosthetics to bring each of the otherworldly creatures back to life. Like GREMLINS and GHOSTBUSTERS before it, BEETLEJUICE is another classic comedy that 80's horror fans are sure to love!

Apr 18, 2013This has to be my favorite Michael Keaton movie, and my favorite from Tim Burton.It is both dark and funny. Silly & serious. The effects at the time were phenomenal but are a bit dated by today's standards, but even so, hold a little. Still great to see Winona Ryder so young. Story gets a bit to goofy at points and they play the "afterlife" novelty to death (sorry, for the bad pun.)
Beetlejuice is a ton of fun and enjoyable fore most. I would say keep really little kids away, because I remember it freaked me out when I was little.… Expand
Dec 19, 2012Great cast, very good performances, the characters are amazing, Keaton does a pretty good job giving life to the ghost exorcist Beetle Juice, some times the movie gets a little slow and the special effects are not the best of its time, but it has nice make up and hilarious script.… Expand
Oct 27, 2013Beetlejuice is a really fantastic supernatural comedy. Tim Burton's style is stamped all over the film and Michael Keaton is truly hilarious as the titular Beetlejuice. I find that the movie makes for a perfect Halloween treat for kids, too.… Expand

This past Saturday February 8, American History TV was live from Orange, Virginia with Matthew Reeves, Director of Archaeology at James Madison's Montpelier. He joined us to take viewer questions about the South Carolina Confederate camp located near Montpelier 150 years ago during the winter of 1863 & 1864. He described what it was like at the winter camp for soldiers, officers and their families.

Last night I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I was standing at the edge of a cliff called academia. As I stood, overlooking the jagged rocks hundreds of feet below, I heard a large crowd approaching from behind.
In an instant I saw every professor I've ever had. With concern in their eyes they asked me in unison, "What will you take with you?"
As the ground shook and the cliff began to crumble, mounds of dirt and grass suddenly transformed into the thousands of books I've never read, the millions of films I should have seen and the countless hours I didn't spend studying.
As I struggled to wrap my arms around anything tangible, I saw a floating door mixed in with the debris.
The door had the word "experience" carved into its solid oak frame. As I fought with all of my might to seek refuge on the safety of its surface, I was awoken by the sound of my racing heart.
Four years of my life have been spent at a phenomenal liberal arts institution with enough learning resources (whether they be human or text) to wrap around the earth twice, and yet I find myself wondering one thing. What did I learn while I was here?
In the book, "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," authors Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa discuss the data accumulated during a study they conducted on whether college students improve their critical thinking and writing skills during the four years they attend college.
The study, which involved using a standardized test called the Collegiate Learning Assessment, indicated that more than a third of students showed no critical thinking or writing improvement after four years in college.
The results of the study also indicated that 35 percent of students said they studied five hours per week or less, with a 50 percent overall decline in the number of hours spent studying compared to years past.
Sadly, I don't doubt the data whatsoever. Excluding a small minority, we study less. I'd go as far to admit that I study less now than I did in high school. I remember spending hours on my Gateway computer typing up study guides for exams and writing extensive papers for various AP classes.
According to the study, 50 percent of the students said they didn't have a single course that required them to write 20 pages total. I'm not shocked by that statistic either.
Granted, I am a journalism major and am writing constantly, however I do have many friends who say that when it comes to writing papers, they simply aren't assigned them.
I can recall writing a 30-page research paper on inclusion in elementary education during my sophomore year of high school.
Thirty pages for one assignment makes all of the assignments from my general education classes at Richmond look like a two weeks paid vacation.
When I question why it is that we study less I think it all comes down to one thing: accountability. In high school I was held accountable by my parents, my teachers, my peers and more importantly, by myself.
If I didn't put in the effort, I didn't receive a good grade. And why should I have? I didn't deserve one. Which was why I made sure I worked hard — always.
Accountability is not a word we hear very often in college, at least at this one. We're all told that college is supposed to be hard.
That's when the justifying starts. The fact that I got a C on an anthropology paper no longer has to do with the fact I wrote it the night before it was due, rather that I'm not an anthropologist. Justifications like these make lack of accountability a comfort.
Many professors are just as guilty as their students. Instead of demanding hard work, effort and, inevitably, respect from his or her students, he or she attempts to gain respect (possibly in the form of a good evaluation wink, wink) by catering to the "needs" of students.
Another possible explanation for the decrease in studying, authors of "Academically Adrift" say, may be that the pressure put on students to be socially engaged is too great. What do colleges care about? Student retention.
So a happy student means a student who is doing fun things on and around campus. Fun things on and around campus mean that student is coming back next year.
So when the admissions spiel sounds a little like, "We care about your happiness," future generations of college students should smile because now they're in on the joke.
Data from the CLA survey indicated that students who majored in more traditional liberal arts studies such as English or philosophy showed higher levels of critical thinking and writing skills. It makes sense. I can't imagine it'd be easy to B.S. your way through an analysis of the Theory of Forms.
For those of you, like myself, who are questioning your personal improvement throughout your year(s) spent at University of Richmond, a word of advice: It's not too late.
First step: Hold yourself accountable. No one will do it for you.
Second step: Challenge your teachers to challenge you.

Southampton residents are being urged to buzz like a bee for Sport Relief and break a world record
Updated 11:59am Friday 14th March 2014 in News By Peter Howard, Sports Reporter
PEOPLE from Southampton are being are advised to buzz like a bee for Sport Relief and help break a world record.
With just over a week to go until the Sport Relief Mile starts in Guildhall Square, mayoress Mary White is asking the city's people to dress up like bumblebees to run the event.
She is organising a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest swarm of human bumblebees, all in the name of charity causes.
As part of celebrations of Southampton's 50th jubilee year of becoming a city, the bees will raise cash in support of people at disadvantage in the local area as well as the rest of the United Kingdom and abroad.
Mary said: "We want to show off what we can do with people coming together from all sections of the community.
"It is also a world record attempt; hopefully we can get over 500 people from different groups in the local area to take part."
In 2012 Mary took part in Sport Relief dressed as Miss Piggy with her son Josh in Kermit the Frog gear.
As reported, there is just over one week to go until the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile takes place, but there is still time to take part in one of the runs and swims across Hampshire on March 23.

Bynum has knee drained again
Jun 11, 2010, 7:39 PM EDT
According to Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register, Lakers center Andrew Bynum had his problematic right knee drained again on Friday morning. Bynum had the knee drained before the start of the finals, and had 31 combined points on 10-16 shooting from the field over the course of the first two games. In games three and four, Bynum had 11 combined points on 4-11 shooting from the field, although Bynum did grab 10 rebounds in game three.
Bynum also had another MRI on his knee, which revealed no new damage. Bynum has said he will be ready for game five, and is currently doing a variety of treatments on his injured knee, which will require surgery after the season ends.

Drawing on data from about 100 e-retailers that use Omniture's web analytics technology, MarketLive reports that the average conversion rate went from 4.08% in the third quarter to 4.80% in the fourth quarter, with a peak holiday season rate of 6.44%.
E-commerce platform provider MarketLive Inc. has provided an unusually detailed look at rising visitor-to-sales conversion rates in online holiday shopping results, drawing on data from about 100 MarketLive clients that use Omniture's web analytics technology.
"These numbers don't lie, they're not self-reported," says Jaye Sullivan, senior e-commerce strategist at MarketLive. "They're pulled directly from Omniture, so we can dive deeply because we have these data slices on an aggregate level."
The data show that the visitor-to-sales conversion rate for those online merchants increased 18% from the third to fourth quarter, from 4.08% to 4.80%. During the peak of the holiday shopping season, from Nov. 23-Dec. 31, conversion rate shot up to 6.44%.
Engagement rate-which measures the percentage of visitors who put an item into a shopping cart-increased from 9.48% in the third quarter to 9.87% in the fourth quarter, and reached 11.89% during the peak shopping period.
Cart abandonment dropped from 59.11% in Q3 to 55.64% in the fourth quarter, and to 54.73% during the prime shopping season.
Other fourth quarter statistics from the e-retailers studied include:
E-retailers that made shopping convenient and catered to last-minute buyers were particularly successful, says Sullivan, who interviewed several of the retailers covered by the report. She says the merchants report strong consumer response when they lowered the thresholds for free shipping, or eliminated them altogether.
Tapping into the desire for convenience, one online retailer targeted befuddled husbands by offering prewrapped gift sets, such as an entire outfit. Each set was categorized by the woman's personality type-one ensemble for the "yoga mom," for instance, and another for the "active mom." Those kits sold out within the first few weeks of the holiday season, says Sullivan, who would not name the retailer.
More retailers this season also offered clear guidance to customers as to when they had to place an order for it to arrive by the gift-giving day. Such advisories often appeared on the home page and product pages as well as on customer service pages. "All along the purchase path, merchants stepped up to make sure customers would be aware when they need to purchase to get their product on time," Sullivan says.
MarketLive plans to issue a fuller report on the holiday shopping data in mid-February.

New Hampshire has 40,000 turkeys
Change is the only constant for the state's turkey population.
Once abundant, the last wild turkey was spotted in Weare in 1854. Now there are an estimated 40,000 birds in the state, thanks to a restoration effort that began with 25 birds in Walpole in 1975.
Ted Walski, New Hampshire Fish and Game's turkey biologist, has been at the job since 1972. He said loss of habitat played a major role in the turkey's decline, as well as unregulated hunting.
The bird's revival began when the state traded a number of fisher cats for 25 turkeys from the Allegheny Mountains of New York and Pennsylvania.
One hunter who is happy the turkeys made a comeback is Steve Carpenter of Plymouth. He will have a domesticated bird on the table today, but does enjoy eating wild turkey breast.
Wild birds are about the same size as on most tables today - about 18 pounds from the field.
"They're tough," Carpenter said of both eating and catching New Hampshire's wild gobblers. "I won't eat the legs," he said.
"I first tried baking them. That wasn't good. Now I deep-fry and season with bread crumbs. Some guys like to soak them in buttermilk overnight," rather than a brine, he said.
At first, Carpenter plucked the birds, but found it is too much work.
"Never again," he shook his head.
Carpenter now skins the breasts and just cooks and eats the breast meat, which he said is darker and not as tender as a domestic bird.
Wild turkeys now roam in gangs of 20 or so in neighborhoods from New Castle to Pittsburg, roosting on swing sets, grazing at feeders, often stopping traffic as they scoot across roadways.
When are there too many turkeys, Walksi was asked.
"I don't have a concern for overpopulation," he said.

Horror Avengers Assemble for Van Helsing Reboot
Universal's last Van Helsing movie left us over-emoting in disgust like Dracula's brides. Still, the franchise is very much a no-brainer and as such they're taking another - ambitious - crack at it!
Horror on TV: Three New Pilots to Keep an Eye Out For
It's pilot season for television networks, and while the horror offerings thus far have been on the light side, in addition to the previously mentioned "The Sixth Gun" at NBC and "The Originals" at The CW, we have news on three more pilots we'll be keeping our eyes on.
New Van Helsing Movie Taking Different Approach
There's no doubt about it: The last time Universal took a crack at making a Van Helsing flick, they completely dropped the ball. While the monsters were kind of cool, everything else... well... sucked. Good thing they're headed back to the drawing board.
