High Value Target
Green Light
The sun had just dipped over the horizon and the men of Lima 2 were prepping their gear for their task ahead, adjusting simply by feel alone. This 4-man squad consisted of: Sgt. Asher, who, at 5'4" would make you doubt the amount of strength and endurance he had, who had exceeded instructor's expectations whilst he was grinding through selection. Cpl. Curtis, a man who preferred to operate solo though still a worthwhile and vital team player, he was always the first to leave and the last one back making sure all were accounted for, and Troopers Urban and Shepherd; the "Fucking New Guys" to their Troop, and so lacked the experience of the other half of the squad, though beamed potential. Shepherd hadn't seen active service before joining the Regiment and was certainly chucked in the deep-end when assigned to this mission. Urban on the other hand was a veteran in comparison, though only joining the Regiment in the last summer's selection, having completed tours in both Northern Ireland and Iraq; and a real ladies man.
Red and green tracer flew through the air, like lasers in a sci-fi movie, before the distinctive metallic sound of a dozen .50 cal's echoed through the valley, causing what life there was around to scarper to the nearest place of safety. The diversion had started and Lima 2 were prepped to leave their temporary Observation Post, they would be leaving in 'assault order' which consisted only of the essentials: ammunition, water bottle, explosives, a sidearm and a KA-BAR combat knife. Shepherd cocked his Heckler and Koch MP5SD, the brass rounds glinting dully before they disappeared into the firing chamber, with a quick slap on the cocking handle; to Sgt. Asher's disapproval, "Keep it down back there, Rookie, let's not get ID'ed before we even set off." Shepherd looked to the dusty earth in a sulk, there was a lot still to learn.
Cpl. Curtis motioned to Asher, his finger tapping on his watch. 01:15. Asher nodded and lifted his hand to his ear, pressing down the transmit button on his Personal Role Radio,
"Sunray, this is Lima 2. Message, over."
"Send message, Lima 2, over."
"We are commencing Op. Swipe now; make sure we have that evac on time, over."
"Copy, Lima 2. Your evac is on stand-by, commence your run. Out."
The radio went silent, giving the squad the cue to depart. Sgt. Asher gave each man a look, his version of both confidence building and checking to make sure that they are ready. Asher took point, followed by Urban, Curtis and Shepherd who was to be "tail-end Charlie", protecting the squad from an attack from the rear. By now, the .50 cal's were met with hostile fire which could be heard further East in the decaying town. Lima 2, however, were situated on a hill to the West but they were here for one man; Abu Massab Al-Zarqawi. Though, despite pleas for a straight manhunt, this was to be a "Snatch & Grab" mission which is why Lima 2 were chosen - they are expertly trained in Close Quarter Battle and hostage extraction, and the UK Government needed him alive for interrogation.
Asher raised his fist, the sign for the squad to stop, and then turned to face his troops, "Right, the compound is at the end of this street, due left. Keep quiet on the way up and go loud once we're in. Remember, the top brass want this guy alive and screaming; and we're going to give them both, got it?" The response was unanimous, though they remained silent, these were smart soldiers and they didn't even need to murmur the reply. The squad had to keep focussed and achieve their target.
Asher ran through the plan in his head, reassuring himself that everything was accounted for; breach the entrance to the compound, split in half and work their way through the building from opposite ends, grab Al-Zarqawi and rendezvous at the Landing Zone for an extraction. It sounded simple enough.
The troops stacked up at the end of the road against a mud-brick wall, Curtis proceeded to go prone and edge around the corner of a wall looking through his Multi-purpose Aiming Reflex Sight attached to his MP5, "One Tango on the roof-," Urban lifted his C8 Carbine, took aim at the hostile and professionally pressed on the trigger twice causing two suppressed whistles to awaken the silence of the compound. The hostile dropped to the floor, dramatically, though Curtis continued as if he was blind, "-no visuals elsewhere, the rest must be inside."
Shepherd's hands were clammy and shaking, the nerves on your first mission could be devastating to your team as it can cost lives. Upon seeing the shaking, Asher crouched over to him and offered some words of encouragement, "If you fuck this up, I'll get you sent back to your unit before you can say Abu Massab," surprisingly, the words ceased the shaking as Shepherd feared the wrath of Asher over the risk of entering a hostile compound.
Asher rejoined Curtis at the front and motioned for his men to follow him to the compound entrance. As they reached the doors, they split into their respective two man CQB teams and hugged the wall. Curtis instinctively unbuckled his side pouch to reveal a block of plastic explosive and began to layer it on the metal door; he needn't put a large amount on due to the age of the already rusting entrance. The explosives were set and Curtis returned to his position, raised his thumb; "Breaching!", came the raised whisper, followed instantaneously by a deafening detonation as the door buckled in on itself, showering the inside of the compound with debris.
Without a word spoken, both teams knew their mission and like a practised routine made their way to the nearest entrances to the U-shaped building. Five seconds in and the hostiles still bewildered by the sudden entrance went to meet their maker as both Asher and Curtis fired off their rounds in a double-tap, two rounds were all they needed to end a life. The men were, after all, trained to do one thing. As the two rookies's approached their respective entrances, both summoned a gargantuan amount of energy in order to kick the doors in to allow access to the building. Ten seconds. Both teams were inside and making their way through the building, almost easily killing the excuses for enemy soldiers. The shouts of "Room clear!" were echoed throughout the building over and over again as they dispatched their foes and checked for their target. Fifteen seconds. Asher and Shepherd were the first to come across the room; Shepherd grabbed a flashbang and rolled it into the room, bang! Shepherd spun around the corner, dropped to one knee and took down the bodyguard with two shots, right between the eyes.
Asher turned the corner ready to unload his magazine.
"Shepherd! What have you done?"

Movie News
The Kidd Vs. THE SESSIONS
THE SESSIONS is the true story of Mark O'Brien, a poet paralyzed by polio who'd like to lose his virginity during the time he has left. He's long outlived the predictions for his life expectancy and, as a 38-year-old man who has to spend most of his day trapped inside an iron lung, he doesn't know how much time he's going to have left to make something like that happen. He wishes it was as easy as finding someone who would fall in love with him both emotionally and physically, but, with his body as cripped as it is, that's a bit of a tough sell, even with a mind as sharp as his.
In this case, O'Brien (played by the always solid John Hawkes) struggles with disobeying his own strong Catholic faith, in order to have sex out of wedlock, yet once he gets a pass from his local priest (William H. Macy, who looks and feels plenty miscast here), he's got a plan to achieve his goal – a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt), which sounds like a prostitute, but apparently there's a therapeutic distinction between them. This puts O'Brien on a path to exploring his body, his feelings and his relationships as they relate to his own sexual inexperience.
THE SESSIONS is really light fare, and while Hawkes elevates the film with his performance, Ben Lewin's movie feels at times like empty calories. You'll feel nice watching it in the moment, but the second it's done, you're left craving something a bit more substantial. In fact, the film breezes by at a swift 94 minutes that by the time Hawkes is staring intercourse in the face, it feels as if the movie just started. Everything moves along rather quickly that Lewin's film is a missed opportunity to really examine some of the internal conflicts O'Brien is having beyond what's on the surface or some of the strife Hunt's Cheryl is experiencing at home, which pushes her towards a more personal connection with Hawke's character. It never seems to stop long enough to let you take in the peculiarity of this real life situation or what its characters are going through as a result of being part of it. THE SESSIONS, at times, is flippant in its approach to O'Brien's ordeal, as, if it wasn't for the iron lung and his disability, the same situation could have been played up for bigger laughs in a raunchy sex comedy.
When THE SESSIONS does allow itself to get deep, namely with O'Brien's struggles to differentiate sex from love, attachment, infatuation, that's where the film shines, and Hawkes does his best work. He's able to show the complications of a grown man who's really no more knowledgeable in the realm of sex as a teenage boy. He conflates the physical with the emotional, and it makes for an interesting depiction of a man who is incredibly bright, just not when it comes to the things he knows nothing about. The film does him a disservice at times by poking fun at his fears of the unknown, specifically his frightening perusal of sex textbooks for how things work and the worst case scenarios that could pop up, and, while there may be a whimsy about these moments that allow the film from getting too serious, it's that missing seriousness that would have grounded the film in the reality it came from. I don't know that it's comical that a grown man relegated to an iron lung for much of his life (he can stay outside for three or four hours at a time with a respirator handy without issue) experiences some missteps in wanting to have sex. That's like laughing at the mentally handicapped when they face some sort of difficulty in achieving one of their dreams. THE SESSIONS walks a very fine line in trying to have its cake and eat it, too, and I'm not really sure it succeeds in doing so, because of how it often plays some of its moments for very small laughs, but laughs nonetheless.
Hawkes is a pleasure to watch as always, and a snarky Moon Bloodgood makes the most of her part, but I'm just not a fan of how the entire film comes together. There's a made-for-TV atmosphere to it throughout, and, if not for its recognizable cast, it could easily pass for something you would've seen on the ABC Family Channel (well, the sex and nudity would pose a problem in taking that avenue, too). I wouldn't be surprised to parts of THE SESSIONS get their share of the love come awards season, but this one just didn't do it for me.

So it's Pretty Woman meets 40 Year Old Virgin???
by kindofabigdeal
So we have this guy, right, and he's never had sex. Like 40yr old virgin! Yeah, only lets make our guy 38. Oh, so he meets the girl of his dreams? No, lets have him find a professional. Oh, so it's like Pretty Woman? Sick man meets a hooker with a heart of gold. Yeah, but lets not make her a hooker. Lets call her a sex....um... Surrogate! Sounds great. Maybe she gets pissed as a reacurring joke people keep calling her a prostitute. Yeah, but I don't want to make this a straight up comedy. You swinging for Oscar gold? No, but maybe a Golden Globe. You know, the smug awards. Well, who can we get to star? Tom Hanks? Brad Pitt? Helen Mirren as the surrogate? More like Helen Hunt. If were going for the Globes than we gotta do this low budget. Throw in William H Macy as a priest and we got ourselves a film.

by I am_NOTREAL
She's nominally less irritating when playing lighter stuff but man, something about her just grates on me. I thought her Oscar winning performance was frankly shit. So I won't be seeing this. But this is by far the most negative opinion I've seen, most other reviews have Hawkes and Hunt short listed for Oscar.

the difference, in case you couldn't be bothered
by mrgray
A prostitute takes your money to fuck you. They don't care about your mental or physical health outside of passing on STDs, and even then it can be iffy. Sex for pay is the sum total of the relationship. A sexual surrogate works with a therapy team or as a therapist themselves to get at the root of psycho-sexual dysfunction. Better mental health for pay is the sum total of the relationship. So you see how your generalization is completely incorrect?

The thing about Hunt is she's constantly playing to the back row
by spacehog
which, obviously in a movie, doesn't work. It's not ''tv acting,'' which I think of as just kind of grossly exaggerated. There's something very theatrical about her performances; something about her expressions and the way she reads her lines I guess. I can't put my finger on it, at least not in a way that differentiates it from ''tv acting'' or ''bad acting'' (she's definitely not bad), but whatever it is, it's grating to me.
Oct. 19, 2012, 9:15 a.m. CST
Couldn't agree less
by filmcoyote
The Sessions is a grown up movie that treats it's subject in a frank and grown up way. Never been a fan of Hunt but when you can get past the botoxed forehead she's the best here she's been since As Good As It Gets. Bloodgood and Macy do good work and Hawkes is phenomenal, even by his standards. It's funny and moving and never lags or feels rushed. A perfect package. Love the suggestion of Macy looking and feeling miscast. 1 how do you miscast an actor of Macy's talent. 2 presumably the Kidd thought since he was playing a Catholic priest he ought to look austere and perhaps a touch dodgy? They don't go for a stereotype here, exactly one of the smart moves of this smart film (as is having the sex surrogate not be a 20-something babe). The Kidd lives up to his name with ths review, you should make him stand in the corner with a dunces hat on.

JOHN HAWKES HELEN HUNT and WILLIAM H. MACY('S FLOWING LOCKS)
by Pat
That hair is amazing in the poster! John Hawke's character should have sex with THAT. Maybe William H. Macy's hair could go on and star in a movie with Affleck's hair from 'Argo'. It could be set in a prison. Macy's hair just got in the pokey and Affleck's hair must protect it from Ving Rhame's bald pate. However, protection in prison comes with a lice...I mean price.

The sooner the Yankees act, Cashman said, the higher the price they will pay. So this could take a while. But Cashman said he expects to do something, because he always does. He is not dwelling on the reasons the Yankees are mired in the middle.
"I'm not ready to judge how we are and where we are," Cashman said. "There's a lot of reasons we are where we are right now. The job is to get it where it belongs, which is first place."

LUTHER — A truck that crashed into a bridge on the Turner Turnpike on Friday afternoon was carrying an oversize load and was not permitted, said Jack Damrill, Oklahoma Turnpike Authority spokesman.
Friday's wreck was the third time an unpermitted tractor-trailer rig with an oversize load has hit the bridge near Luther in the past month. The wreck forced officials to close temporarily the eastbound lanes of the turnpike from Interstate 35 to mile marker 135.
"It's in our capital plan in 2014 to replace it," Damrill said. "I can't answer whether we are going to move that up or not. If the funds become available, it's something we could look at."
He said Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers have tried to enforce the permit requirements on the turnpike, but apparently neither the enforcement efforts nor the wrecks have gotten the message across.
"It's like a speeder," Damrill said. "You catch some, but not everyone. These guys aren't permitted and they keep getting on the turnpike and hitting that bridge."

Rice says Russian move on Ukraine would be mistake
President Barack Obama's national security adviser said Sunday it would be a "grave mistake" for Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
President Barack Obama's national security adviser said Sunday it would be a "grave mistake" for Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
Susan Rice said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that in Obama's phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday the two agreed that a political settlement in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, should ensure the unity of the country and the right of Ukrainians to express their free will. She was asked whether the White House fears Putin will send Russian troops into Ukraine.
"That would be a grave mistake," she said. "It's not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or the United States to see the country split."
Protesters took to the streets of Kiev late last year after President Viktor Yanukovych abandoned an agreement that would have strengthened his country's ties with the European Union in favor of seeking closer cooperation with Moscow.
Rice said that in the weeks ahead, Washington will cooperate with Europe and international organizations to help the Ukrainian economy, which she described as fragile.
Speaking on a separate Sunday show, Republican Sen. John McCain, a frequent critic of Obama's foreign policy, echoed some of the same themes as Rice on seeking to help Ukraine.
He said the United States needs to be clear with Putin that Ukrainians must be allowed to determine their own future and that partitioning the nation would be unacceptable.
"They want to be Western," McCain said on CBS's "Face the Nation." ''That's what this whole hundreds of thousands in the square was all about. They don't want to be Eastern."
McCain said he has spoken with an array of Ukrainians in the opposition movement in recent days. They are overjoyed, McCain said, but they are also worried about the economy.
"Their economic situation is so dire that literally the economy is on the verge of collapse and they're going to need help immediately," McCain said.

To those that know me, I have an undying affinity for all-things food. My predilection for food started when I was big enough to help in the kitchen by washing dishes. Despite the fact that my parents probably hated the idea of me standing on a chair, nearly tip-toeing to reach into the sink, and taking up valuable space to maneuver between the refrigerator, counter and stove during meals, I was one of the happiest kids ever.
I look forward to working on the magazine and getting to know its readership. I encourage readers to contact me with story ideas or suggestions, or just say "hello."
So here is my challenge to you. GC, the Magazine of the Golden Crescent, is accepting nominations for the July/August issue's Top 5 Chefs. Is there a chef who has introduced your plate, or palate, to the endless possibilities of flavor combinations and world cuisines?

Jessica Rodrigo
GC's Top 5 Chefs,
c/o Victoria Advocate

NEW YORK -- It all started out innocently enough, with Dwight Howard doing what he does best. Not dunking or blocking shots or searching far and wide for his killer instinct. Instead, Howard was holding court at the NBA Store Wednesday, bringing the house down with his smile and his personality.
|Dwight Howard is still simmering from his team's ugly Eastern Conference finals loss to Boston. (US Presswire)
"We heard it all summer: 'The Miami Heat are going to win. They're going to do this and do that,'" Howard said. "In our minds we're like, 'Hey, they haven't played a game yet so what makes them champions?'"
And so there you have it -- but only part of it. Is Howard, trying to shake the label of being the guy who puts the gentle in giant, aggravated by all the attention being showered upon division rival Miami? Damn right he is. Is that all? Nope.
What has stung Howard all summer -- from the weight room to the practice court, where he's been known to shoot 1,000 jumpers a day -- is the humiliation he experienced at the hands of the Celtics at the end of May. That, more than anything, had Howard vowing Wednesday that his days of playing Mr. Nice Guy are over.
"Losing the way we did to Boston, I think it kind of pissed me off to the point that I didn't want our team to be looked at as the team that lost to Boston the way we did," Howard said. "[It was] the way we were viewed by the media, the way I was viewed.
"I went from this nice guy to this goon or something like that. And I'm like, 'Hey, I'm playing basketball. If they're going to be physical, we're going to be physical.' People were saying our team wasn't physical and I didn't like that. I'm a physical player and I want my teammates to be the same way. If people are calling us a team that doesn't like to be physical, I don't like that."
Howard said the turning point was after Orlando fell behind 3-0 to Boston in the conference finals, having been eviscerated at every turn by the Celtics' smothering defense and the dominant play of Rajon Rondo. It took that kind of embarrassment, that kind of wakeup call for something to click.
"I wasn't about to lie down in front of my teammates," Howard said. "I just had to figure out a way to do whatever I can to try to get our team back in the series."
It was too late to come back and win the series, but Howard believes he planted the seeds for the season that is upon him now. In the consecutive games Orlando won when facing elimination, Howard was unstoppable with 53 points, 26 rebounds and nine blocks. ("I found out I had another gear in me," he said.) And that wasn't the only place where Howard changed. He changed in the locker room, too.
"I really learned how to talk to my teammates, be a better leader, be more vocal," Howard said. "But also in the locker room, show my teammates a different side of me. The side that most people always see is me smiling and having fun, which is great. But I showed my teammates that when it's time to get serious, then it's time to get serious. And I'm going to expect them to do the same."
Howard won't report to training camp next week surrounded by newly acquired All-Stars or dynamic duos. Through intermediaries, Howard let it be known to management that he wanted every effort to be made to acquire an All Star-caliber running mate, with Chris Paul and Carlos Boozer at the top of his list. Neither came to fruition, and the best Orlando could do was acquire a backup point guard (Chris Duhon) and another 3-point shooter (Quentin Richardson). The Bulls' efforts to land restricted free agent J.J. Redick were thwarted when the Magic matched Chicago's offer sheet.
Howard thinks Duhon's pick-and-roll game will help the offense, and Richardson's defense will make Orlando one of the few teams that can send waves of capable defenders at LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. But to suggest that Duhon and Richardson will make the difference when Orlando runs into Boston or Miami in the conference finals is silly talk -- sillier than Howard's impressions. This is about No. 12, plain and simple. If his demeanor has changed as much as he insists it has, then the road to the championship may not be paved with marquee free agents, after all.
There are precious few teams and even fewer individuals who have a legitimate chance of thwarting Miami's championship coronation. One of those teams is the Celtics, who will remain Orlando's nemesis until Howard figures out how to beat them. One of those individuals is Kobe Bryant, whose competitive fire has been burning unusually hot this summer after Miami's signings, announcements and televised decisions were over.
"I don't think there's any question," teammate Derek Fisher said Wednesday. "Those are the type of things at this point in his career that are exciting. He's constantly searching for those opportunities to basically make himself mad. Even though he likes all three of those guys, I think he loves the challenge and the competition that lies ahead."
The other individual is Howard, without a doubt. His reaction when Miami landed LeBron and Chris Bosh to join Dwyane Wade was a step in the right direction for the man who should dominate the NBA every night he steps onto the floor.
"My first reaction was, 'I cannot wait for this season to start,'" Howard said. "Not, 'Oh, they're going to be so good.' I don't think anybody's afraid of those guys. Everybody's looking forward to playing them. They're looking forward to playing everybody else. They still have to dress up and play."
We will find out if the sting of losing to Boston and the insult he's felt with all eyes focused on Miami can actually be channeled on the court. Howard sounds serious, and I believe him. I've never been in the Howard-Hater camp, but I have to be fair: For someone that big, that strong, with that many physical gifts, he's underachieved to this point in his career.
Listening to Howard Wednesday convinced me that's about to change. Even if Miami signs free-agent center Erick Dampier, Howard is the one player in the league capable of exploiting the Heat inside and making their flashy free agents wish they'd never united. If he can play every game, every quarter, every minute with the memory of the Boston loss and all this premature celebration in Miami on his mind, no one will be able to stop him.
"They have good players," Howard said of the Heat. "Every team has good players. I think what that did for a lot of guys on my team is, it kind of motivated our guys: 'Hey, we're going to show people what we're made of.' And it's good. It's good for guys who needed that extra motivation to get them where they want to get to."
Such as, you know, Howard himself. He didn't say it, but he understood that he was part of the problem. That's why this summer, Howard sought out some of the greatest ever to play -- Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, and a mystery mentor he refused to name -- to get advice on how to get past this hurdle.
"Their big thing to me was," Howard said, "you've got to be able to fail before you succeed."
And he said that in a serious voice. The time for joking around is over.

The ninth annual Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic will take place on Saturday, July 12th at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium. The classic, featuring both a boys and girls senior All-American game, will kick off at 5pm as the top high school seniors in the men's game will take the field. Immediately following at 7:30pm, the women's game will kick off.
Both the North and South rosters on the women's side feature 23 of the top incoming college freshmen and this week we'll be featuring a number from both squads in our "Getting To Know The Under Armour All-Americans" Q&A series.

The Under Armour All-America File:
Name: Olivia Blakeman
High School: Vero Beach High School
College: Loyola University Maryland
Height: 5' 7
Stats and Honors: 13 goals, 12 assists, 34 ground balls, First Team All-District, All-Region, All-League, US Lacrosse All-American.
Other Sports: Swimming, Weightlifting
ILWomen Questions:
ILW: You've had a tremendously successful lacrosse career thus far, what was the highlight of your high school lacrosse career?
OB: I'd have to say that winning states this year as a senior was definitely the highlight of my high school lacrosse career.
ILW: What are you most looking forward to improving on at the next level?
OB: I'm definitely most looking forward to playing a faster paced game and improving all my skills related to performing well at that higher speed.
ILW: What is the most exciting game you've ever been a part of?
OB: It's tough to say. I'm stuck in between the state finals this year or our game this year against Saint Anthony's in NY (even though we lost).
ILW: What was it like hearing the news that you were selected to one of the Under Armour All-American senior rosters?
OB: Being an Under Armour All-American is an amazing honor and when I found out that I was selected I was ecstatic. It was kind of the final accomplishment that made all of my hard work worth it.
ILW: You've played with and/or have gotten to know a number of the other participants that will be taking the field in the 2014 Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic. Who are some of those players you're most looking forward to playing with or against?
OB: Well I recently played with Team HLA in Vail Colorado and a lot of girls on that team are also playing in Under Armour. We've all become good friends and I'm excited to be able to get to know them more and play with and against them one last time.
ILW: The college recruiting process can be a long one. What was it about Loyola that made you know that it was where you wanted to spend your college days?
OB: Pretty much everything about going to Loyola fit perfectly to what I wanted. Its a smaller school, in a city, but it has a real campus. I love Baltimore and after living in Florida my whole life, the cold will be hard to adjust to, but I'm looking forward to four seasons. I love the coaches and the team and I think I will fit in very well. A big factor was also the fact that my sister will be a junior on the Loyola team this year and that our uncle lives not 40 minutes away. Honestly, I could go on and on about why Loyola ended up being the perfect fit for me, but that's the basics.
ILW: Who are some current college players you're most looking forward to play with and playing against over the next four years?
OB: After two years of not playing together I have to say that I'm most certainly looking forward to playing with my older sister, Maddy, again. We've always connected really well and we compliment each other as players. As for people I'm looking forward to playing against, I would have to just say friends that I've made in the past from all over the country that go to a ton of different schools.
My favorite U.S. Team player is: Taryn VanThof
My favorite professional sports team is: Baltimore Ravens
If I wasn't playing lacrosse in college, I'd be: Getting my doctorate sooner.
The last vacation I went on was to: Vail, Colorado
If I could cast an actor to play me in a movie, it would be: Jennifer Anniston
If I could have lunch with anyone in the world tomorrow, it would be: Peyton Manning
The person I most look up to is: My older sister, Maddy.
My favorite magazine is: People Magazine
My favorite movie is: Now You See Me
My favorite TV show is: Grey's Anatomy
The last book that I read was: Perks of Being a Wallflower
My college major is going to be: Biology
If I could explain my game in one word, it'd be: Composed

Malcolm Marable, 20, was arrested early Sunday after hitting a Corvallis nightclub bouncer at Impulse, according to multiple media sources citing a Corvallis police report.
Marable, who pleaded no contest to driving 104 mph in February on the freeway, was cited for "violent conduct" according to the Oregonian. He did so after Ryan Murphy, 19, was detained by a bouncer for using the ID of teammate and fellow safety Anthony Watkins, said the report.
Both were cited and released.
They are scheduled to appear in Benton County Circuit Court on May 16.
Oregon State had no comment other than to say the matter would be handled internally, according to the Gazette Times.

Tag Archives: Actors Playhouse
So Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Zelda, Picasso, Tallulah And Gertrude Stein Walk Into A Bar….
Scott and Hem, an imagined reunion of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, is half comprised of deadly accurate insights into the angst of creative souls; the other half is just deadly dumps of name-dropping and exposition. A talented cast and director struggle to make the play at Actors Playhouse land solidly, and sometimes they succeed, but not always.
Another Openin' Another Show, Another Openin' Another Show, And Another Openin' Another….
The snowbirds have gone home, but South Florida theater never seems to go dark these days. This year-round trend has never been clearer than right now with a calendar is jammed with an overwhelming cornucopia of options over the next two or three weeks. Here's an incomplete overview:
Newcomers Share Carbonell Bounty With Major Companies
The Timekeepers, a harrowing drama mounted on a tiny stage by a company only in its second season, swept six of its six nominations including best play at the 38th Carbonell Awards Monday night. Those wins, along with a best director award for the fledgling Slow Burn Theatre Company's musical next to normal, was greeted as a sign that young theaters could make inroads in a program dominated by a handful of venerable and well-funded troupes.
Year In Review: Encouraging Signs As Theaters Bet On Recovering Economy
Like the rest of the country, South Florida theater took tentative steps throughout 2013, banking on the promise of a recovering economy and a durable demand for art. Evidence was visible across the three counties: theaters mostly opening not closing, established companies moving into new venues, young companies finding audiences, runs extended, a continued commitment to riskier experiments .
10 Most Memorable 2013 South Florida Theater Productions. Well… 11, Okay… 12
As certain as mistletoe and Auld Lang Syne are top ten lists from arts critics. These are the shows that spoke to me personally and professionally, the ones I'd want to see again.
15 Years, 4 Productions And 400-Plus Performances Later, Wayne LeGette Returns to Role
Sometime after more than 400 performances, Wayne LeGette lost track of how often he had appeared in the enduring musical about relationships I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Whatever the figure was, the odometer is about to roll over this month.
Home For The Holidays: Comedy In Making God Laugh Morphs Into Poignancy At Playhouse
Put Actors' Playhouse production of Making God Laugh pretty much in the insightful column. Playwright Sean Grennan uses our recognition of the laughter and pain common to most familial relationships and uses it as a building block in his farcical comedy that transmutes into poignant drama.
A Quiet, Lazy Holiday: 29 Shows Play South Florida This Month
There may be 12 days of Christmas, eight days of Hannukah and seven days of Kwanzaa, but there are 31 days of theater in South Florida underscored by the coming week in which at least 11 shows are opening in addition to at least 11 already open and at least seven more opening later.
Florida's 2013-2014 Season Champions New & Newish Works
Encouraging trends emerge while poking among the entrails of the new season schedules for South Florida theater. Among them: an emphasis on new and newer works as producers and artistic directors try to seduce younger audiences, meaning people under 70.
Our Top Ten, Well 13, Shows To See In the 2013-2014 Season
So this is just a baker's dozen that I personally rate as the most intriguing, promising or unarguably important opportunities to be entertained or moved by in the coming 2013-2014 season. But no refunds. No razzing a year from now, "What were you thinking?"

By Brent Brown Daily News
Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG -- Students from all three local high schools will look their best this prom season thanks to the efforts of a Greensburg Community High Schooler's Chautauqua project.
Kalynne Asche began organizing the Greensburg/Decatur County "Once Upon a Prom" dress drive earlier this year, and her efforts culminated in multiple successful sale dates at First Baptist Church. Saturday capped off the project and gave last minute shoppers the opportunity to get a deal on new or gently used prom dresses just in time for the big events this spring.
Kalynne said approximately 230 dresses had been donated or sold for the project, which was started to help ease the financial burden of purchasing the perfect dress or gown for the most important high school formal dance each year -- a significant though expected expense that annually falls on students, and by extension their parents.
The project, according to all involved, was quite the success story.
A total amount of earnings wasn't available Saturday, but Kalynne was pleased with the prospects of the tally which will be divided among the after-prom programs of Greensburg Community High School, North Decatur High School and South Decatur High School.
The first sale date in March brought in the most shoppers, the student said, and although the event was largely targeted at teen patrons there were some surprises along the way.
Lisa Asche, Kalynne's mother who lent a helping hand to her daughter's community service endeavor, said students from Indianapolis and the Jac-Cen-Del and Milan school systems made the trip to the Tree City to check out the wares Kalynne had collected. All were surprised when a young bride-to-be looking for the perfect wedding dress stopped by First Baptist and found exactly the garment she was looking for among the racks set out in the church's Family Life Center.
"It's just been fun," Lisa told the Daily News. "We've seen lots of smiling faces."
Her daughter was among those smiling Saturday as Kalynne's project came to a successful close.
And as the intent always is for students taking part in John Pratt's GCHS Chautauqua projects, Kalynne learned a lot about the amount of effort it takes to put together something of this nature along the way.
"We want to start it sooner next year," Kalynne said, adding that beginning a little earlier may help students find the look they're looking for in time for the winter formal. This was a "successful test run," she said, and the feedback received will only help matters when next season's high school dances roll around.
The message also made its way among the halls of all three local high schools thanks to the positive feedback and Kalynne's "Greensburg/Decatur County Once Upon a Prom" Facebook page.
Fellow students Rebecca Fletcher, a three-time prom attendee, and Jessica Koors and Michaela Geis who are attending for the first time this spring, agreed that positive word of mouth spurred many students to check out Kalynne's collections before heading out to shop at stores.
"She advertised it very well," Rebecca said.
To top off the prevailing air of prom positivity Saturday, Kalynne told the Daily News many unused dresses will be made available to attendees of the Developmental Services, Inc. prom, which is slated for Saturday, April 12.
There was plenty of fun to be had during the sales and collection drives as well.
"We've been able to around and say, 'Why don't you try this on?'" proud mom Lisa said Saturday afternoon. "It's been really exciting."

The pitch for the final league game between India and Sri Lanka offered lateral movement and extremely uneven bounce, making shot-making virtually impossible
July 11, 2013
Related Links
Matches: India v Sri Lanka at Port of Spain
Series/Tournaments: West Indies Tri-Nation Series
Fourteen wickets fell on the first day of the Ashes. Though the pitch was dry, the overcast conditions helped seam and swing bowling, and the movement in the air and off the surface encouraged the quick bowlers to run in hard, over after over. It made the batsmen watchful and the contest even. However, despite the assistance for the bowlers, if the batsmen made the right shot selection, there were runs on offer.
Shift focus to the pitch that was prepared, or rather left under prepared, in Trinidad for the last league game of the tri-series, between India and Sri Lanka. It had plenty for everyone, except the batsmen. Not only was there exaggerated movement off the surface, but the bounce was so uneven that it bordered on dangerous. And if you thought batting would get easier against the spinners, you'd be wrong, because the ball played tricks for Rangana Herath and Ravindra Jadeja too.
The pitches at Queen's Park Oval have a reputation for assisting spinners. They are usually slow and without much grass. However, the surfaces for this tri-series not only have a lot of grass but also some moisture beneath. In fact, there are claims that this could be one of the grassiest pitches in the world at the moment.
One could live with the grass if it was evenly cut but there are tufts of varying length spread unevenly among the brown patches. The theory is that the tufts are a result of an uneven surface underneath, which results in uneven bounce. There's been a lot of monsoonal rain and the waterlogging on the ground could have raised the level of underground water. While the pitch is always covered to keep its surface dry, the rise in the water table ensures the soil underneath remains moist. It has made batting a painful exercise.
Batting usually involves trust and some guesswork. The moment the eyes see the ball has been released, the mind processes information based on years of practice to gauge the line, length, movement off the pitch and the bounce. The batsman has to process several variables in a short span of time, less than a quarter of a second in case of a fast bowler.
The ability to process such information quickly and accurately separates good players from the rest. But even the best batsmen get fooled now and then, for sometimes he either makes a mistake or the ball behaves differently. And if the ball starts misbehaving regularly, it makes a mockery of batting.
During the game between India and Sri Lanka on Tuesday, not only did the ball dart around after pitching the bounce was also quite unpredictable. If the bowler can't tell which way the ball going, what chance does the batsman have?
A little discomfort and the occasional ball misbehaving shouldn't be a matter of concern but if it happens frequently, it affects a player's safety. However, the variable bounce from the same spot in Trinidad differed by more than a foot and a half, making it almost impossible to deal with.
Imagine preparing to play the ball around the thigh but ending up fending it off the shoulder. Breaking fingers, wrist or elbow was a real possibility. No matter how tight the batsman's technique was he wasn't equipped to stay out of harm's way. The lateral movement was enough to leave the batsmen completely befuddled. Even the bowlers weren't 100% sure about what the ball would do.
It hasn't rained on the eve of the final and I hope the curator shaves off a little bit of grass. It's never a pleasing sight if the balance between ball and bat does not exist.

A prison execution in McAlester, Oklahoma went wrong Tuesday night, with an inmate reportedly losing and regaining consciousness before the procedure was halted — and then the inmate died of a heart attack following the botched procedure.
CNN reported that prisoner Clayton Lockett (pictured above, left) was injected with a new three-drug combination that began with the sedative midazolam at 6:23 p.m.
The state Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that Lockett and inmate Charles Warner (also pictured above, right) had the right to challenge the state's secrecy regarding the components of the lethal mix.
Warner's execution, which was also originally scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed for 14 days. Gov. Mary Fallin (R) said in a statement that she has ordered an evaluation of the mix used for lethal injections.
Associated Press correspondent Bailey Elise McBride also reported on Twitter that, according to officials, Lockett "was conscious and blinking, licking his lips even after the process began."
The AP also reported that at 6:36 p.m. — three minutes after being declared unconscious — Lockett began "breathing heavily, writhing on the gurney, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow." Three minutes after that, a doctor examined where he had been injected, and the blinds were lowered on the execution chamber.
"There was some concern at that time that the drugs were not having that (desired) effect, and the doctor observed the line at that time and determined the line had blown," State Director of Corrections Robert Patton said in a statement following Lockett's death, adding that he called for the execution to be cancelled shortly afterward. Lockett was pronounced dead at 7:06 p.m. from a heart attack.
Lockett was convicted in 2000 for shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman in 1999 during a robbery and watching as his accomplices buried her alive.

Shane Battier big at doing the little things for Heat - 0 Comments
MINNEAPOLIS - Shane Battier enjoys talking basketball. Discussing box scores? Not so much.
"Yeah," the veteran Miami Heat forward said with a grin following Wednesday's victory over the Charlotte Bobcats, "if you look at them, you're going to think I'm the worst player in the NBA and I probably shouldn't be in the NBA."
He's probably right. Wednesday, he missed both his shots against the Bobcats, grabbed two rebounds in his 20 minutes, and did not have an assist.

Don't just go for the first color you see. Figure out
what shades are the best match for your skin tone. For example, girlies with
fair complexions should go for hues with more honey and caramel undertones.
Your stylist will know what's best for your skin tone.
As invigorating as going from bleach blonde to jet

natural hair color. It's easier to maintain and it'll really pull together your
