Maxus takes £21m Associated British Foods media account
By Mark Banham, mediaweek.co.uk, Monday, 17 December 2012 08:30AM
Maxus has won the £21m media planning and buying account for Associated British Foods' grocery arm, snatching the business from incumbent ZenithOptimedia in a competitive review that also included MPG Media Contacts.
The pitch process was managed by ID Comms and kicked off in September. The business will transfer to Maxus from 1 March 2013.
The WPP agency will now take control of media planning and buying duties across five individual businesses: AB World Foods; Allied Bakeries; The Jordans & Ryvita Company; The Silver Spoon Company and Twinings UK.
Brands in the ABF portfolio include Kingsmill bread, Ovaltine, Ryvita, Patak's and Twinings tea.
Lindsay Pattison, chief executive of Maxus, said: "The pitch process was a fantastic experience and allowed us to really understand the businesses in the [ABF] Group and we're thoroughly looking forward to getting started."
Sarah Arrowsmith, chief executive of ABF UK Grocery, said: "We saw some excellent thinking from all the agencies we evaluated but concluded that Maxus offered the most consistent balance of overall strategic and creative insight; with exceptional capability in relation to digital media channels in particular.
"We were also impressed with how Maxus recognised the unique requirements of the individual businesses within our group and adapted their internal structures accordingly."
In September ABF appointed Creature London to the creative account for its Jordans brand. The agency won a pitch against CHI & Partners, Dare and CST The Gate, and replaced Grey London on the account.
As well as Creature, ABF works with a number of creative agencies including Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and JWT London.
The creative roster is unaffected by the awarding of the media account.Follow @Banham72

1Listen to the kind of music you want your music to sound like. Studies show that the music that influences you is what your songs will sound like. So, if you want to write a classic rock anthem, listen to artists like AC/DC and Aerosmith. If you want to write a melodic guitar song, listen to artists like Neil Zaza and Joe Satriani.Ad
2Put your phone on record and have jam sessions with yourself. Try random chord progressions and riffs out and see what you like. Get some main parts that go together well for your song. Make sure you record them on your phone or tape recorder so you won't forget them.
3Put together the main parts of your song. Your song should consist of a great intro/hook, A Verse, B Verse (Optional), Chorus, and then repeat. After the second chorus, a good idea would be to stick in a bridge and/or solo, then repeat the A Verse, B Verse, and Chorus.
4Practice your song. Practice until your comfortable with your song before you play it to others. Your spectators will be impressed with your great music!Ad

THE crew of an Air UK jet that was recently struck by lightning saw "fireballs in the cabin", says an official report into the incident released this month. Similar mysterious fireballs, known as ball lightning, have been observed throughout historyand now a Spanish physicist has come up with a theory that may finally explain what they are.
For many years, scientists dismissed ball lightning as a myth or an optical illusion. They reasoned that a sphere of glowing ionised gas, or plasma, should explode almost instantly, even if it is momentarily contained by the magnetic field of a lightning strike. "Calculations suggest that it should blow up in a fraction of a second," says Antonio Ranada, a physicist at the Complutense University in Madrid.

When you first meet Douglas Lwanga, he is just another young adult doing a TV job.
He describes himself as, "A TV personality, family man who is business-minded." As I settle into the interview, he apologizes for not being able to make me tea. He has one of the most famous music shows on TV at the moment. The Katogo show on Record TV boasts of more than 16,700 Facebook likes (the most liked Ugandan TV show), yet that success has not gone to his head.
"You can never assume you are the best, you always need to look and learn from those you think are better," he says. It is this attitude that pushed him to do better.
"I am afraid of being too comfortable. I prefer looking at what my show is lacking to develop it," he adds.
This year, Katogo was nominated for the yet-to-be-held Radio and TV awards and it will most likely win. "God willing," as Douglas quickly asserts. Katogo debuted on Record TV in 2009; it was a result of a major shake-up at the station and in a production meeting with the new management, one young producer, Douglas Lwanga, was spotted.
"The name Katogo is a loose translation for a mixture of foods. The show was meant to complement another show on the station which specifically played foreign music," he says.
Douglas exhibits the perfect working culture you rarely find in a Ugandan TV presenter. He makes a log for all the artistes he wants to appear on his show in a specific month.
A former student of St Lawrence schools, Douglas is not in the entertainment industry by mistake. In his days at Creamland, he formed a dance group with his friends, performing at different St Lawrence campuses.
"My background as a stage performer helped me adapt to TV easily. I actually think the ministry of education should find a way of including performing arts in mass communication," he suggests.
Besides his presenting job, he does graphics for corporations and musicians. He has done concert adverts for Bebe Cool, OS, Bobi Wine and Konshens' concert in Kampala. Because of this background, many artistes know him as a colleague and appear on his show whenever he calls.
"In an industry with names like Straka, MC Kats, Tuff B and Miles Rwamiti, you can't compete. These people have built reputations for years," he says.
Lucky for him, he didn't have to compete, thanks to the different segments featured on his show.
"My show comes five times a week which gives me an advantage; I can premiere a new song every day and I can report a breaking story when it happens," he says.
He adds: "I premiere a new song daily and whenever an artist brings his video, they can expect it to be playing in at least three days."
Though, even with a great work ethic, Douglas has not been saved from artistes and their drama.
"Someone will bad-mouth your show because you are not playing their songs 'enough' times," he says.
"Some have refused to appear on my show because they feel like they are bigger than the Ugandan TV industry. One said if he was to give me an interview, it had to be in the comfort of his home," he says.
His dream is to see the show become international. "I want to be able to stream the show online in a few years' time," he says.
And, like many music pundits, he too thinks Ugandan music is on a crash course due to the lack of creativity, and it is world musicians that could save the future.
"Many people think we hate world music artistes like Qwela band, Maurice Kirya or Richard Kaweesa, but no; we simply don't get their videos yet we truly believe in them," he says.
"I try to be as original as possible, I don't know if it is me or the music that people love. But so far, we are happy with the love the public is giving the show," he says.

In Praise of Unitasking
Arianna Huffington / 2 September 2009
It wasnt much of a surprise when news came that one of the air-traffic controllers handling the small airplane that tragically crashed into a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson was chatting on the phone even while giving instructions to the pilot.
It's unclear how much, if at all, this contributed to the deadly collision, but it's definitely clear that multitasking isn't all it's cracked up to be. This is why I am speaking out in praise of unitasking. Think you're able to competently do two things at once? Like read this post while talking on the phone or IM'ing a colleague? Well, think again — actually, don't think again now — that would be more multitasking. Wait until you're done reading and then think again.
Study after study has shown the same thing: we think we're doing two things at once, when, really, we're doing only one and just switching back and forth — with a huge efficiency loss in the process. "Multitasking," Edward Hallowell, psychiatrist and author of CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! told the New York Times last year, "gives the illusion that we're simultaneously tasking, but we're really not. It's like playing tennis with three balls."
Studies of young adults doing math and geometry problems by University of Michigan psychology professor David Meyer showed that the tasks took longer when participants had to switch back and forth.
What does this mean in the workplace? One recent study of workers at Microsoft found that it took them an average of 15 minutes to get their focus back after multitasking with a bit of e-mail or IM'ing. Another study, from the University of California, Irvine, found that workers were interrupted and switched what they were doing roughly every 11 minutes. Even worse, every time that happened it took fully 25 minutes to get back to the original task.
Of course, outside the office, the consequences can be much worse than just lost time. A study released last month by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that texting while driving increased the chances of a crash by 23 times. This confirmed results of a British study of 17 to 24-year-olds that found that reaction times while driving were 35 per cent slower when the driver was texting — which means that driving while texting is more dangerous than driving while drunk.
This isn't to say that the health risk of multitasking is confined to the roads. Gloria Mark, a professor and one of the authors of the UC Irvine study, found that after 20 minutes of interrupted activity, workers reported higher levels of stress and pressure.
This can start a vicious circle that can, in turn, lead to higher levels of stress hormones and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. "Why are people in large cities more angry?" Dr Alan Keen of Australia's Central Queensland University told the Daily Mail. "If I'm living in a big city with a busy job and I'm multitasking and I'm a busy parent, all that translates into chemical changes in the brain."
Speaking of parenting, one of my last memories of my mother was, in fact, the last time she was angry with me before she died. She was upset with me when she saw me talking with my children and opening my mail at the same time. She despised multitasking. She believed it was a way to miss life, to miss the gifts that come only when you give 100 percent of yourself to a task, a relationship, a moment.
Worst of all, we're teaching all the wrong lessons to our children, who are growing up in a world where multitasking is the norm. But what effect will it have on their brains, and their ability to learn? Dr Hallowell has coined the term, "attention deficit trait," which, as distinct from attention deficit disorder, is caused by external factors. "As our minds fill with noise, the brain gradually loses its capacity to attend fully and gradually to anything," he said in the Daily Mail article.
And what about the hidden costs? The short-term gain we get — or think we get — by multitasking is obvious: I read three e-mails while handling a call! But what are we missing?
What, as Don Rumsfeld might say, are the unknown unknowns?
Part of the essence of creativity is absorption. It can't be scheduled, or checked off as we answer nine e-mails. Whether it's meditation, prayer or just taking a walk, allowing yourself to recharge and be in the moment is essential to creativity and inspiration.
It's nice to see President Barack Obama being so focused on his daughters while on vacation, as well. Let's just hope he sometimes finds the time to turn his infamous BlackBerry off.
And when you return, hopefully recharged, remember that multitasking may seem tempting, but the costs are high. Become a unitasker, instead.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Lakeland, FL -- Two police sergeants fired in the wake of the Lakeland Police Department sex scandal say they want their jobs back and made their case Tuesday in front of the same chief that let them go two weeks ago.
Given community outcry to clean up the department, it may seem unlikely Chief Lisa Womack would suddenly reverse her decision. But the two officers involved were entitled to the hearings as a matter of due process.
On July 15, Chief Womack fired sergeants Rusty Longaberger and David Woolverton citing conduct unbecoming, failure to report misconduct and neglect of duty.
But just two weeks later, both men were back at the department meeting with chief Womack behind closed doors.
Both have filed a grievance through their union, demanding they be reinstated. Both men are accused of having sex with Sue Eberle, the woman now at the center of the department's scandal.
"It's an appeal process," said Sgt. Gary Gross about Tuesday's hearings. He called it a matter of procedure.
The chief, says Gross, spent a little more than a half an hour with each officer and will rule on their appeals between now and August 16.
"She's got some other important meetings to attend and she wants to take everything into consideration that they say," said Sgt. Gross.
Woolverton and Longaberger both deny any conduct that would warrant their termination.
Both are represented by Jeffrey Stull, a lawyer for the police union.
Stull argued in this case, as in other appeals, "Either the discipline wasn't for just cause or the discipline wasn't progressive or it wasn't consistent or it wasn't appropriate under the circumstances."
During all of this, the civilian advisory commission looking into the scandal lost yet another panel member.
Polk County's Hispanic Chamber President Ana Rivera -- citing personal reasons -- becomes the sixth member to bow out.
That leaves nine of the original 15 members.
The officers who resigned or retired in the wake of the scandal waive their rights to these sorts of hearings.
If Chief Womack decides not to reinstate the two officers, they can then take their appeal to the next level, the city manager.
If he declines, they can then take it one more step to an arbitrator -- whose decision by union contract -- would be binding.

Feds Allowing Last Part of Medicaid Overhaul
Associated Press - January 30, 2014 7:06 pm
Governor Sam Brownback has indefinitely extended a ban on expanding Medicaid in Kansas under the federal health care overhaul.
Kansas officials say they'll move ahead with the last part of an overhaul of the state's Medicaid program after receiving permission from the federal government.
Gov. Sam Brownback announced Thursday that in-home services for 8,500 developmentally disabled Kansans will become part of the overhauled program, known as KanCare. The changes will take effect Saturday.
The $3 billion-a-year Medicaid program provides medical coverage for about 345,000 poor and disabled Kansans. Last year, the state turned administration of most of the program over to three private health insurance companies.
Advocates for the developmentally disabled have been vocal critics of the overhaul, and their concerns led the state to delay including their services in the overhaul until this year.
The plan had been do that in January, but federal officials delayed it.

Confronting The Digital Elephant in the Room
Consumer research is only just beginning to emerge on how digital consumption affects basic human and consumer behaviours.
"In a few short decades digital consumption has colonized more and more of our lives from entertainment to communication to shopping to learning about the world," say Russell Belk and Rosa Llamas, editors of The Routledge Companion to Digital Consumption, "issues of what digital consumption do to our notions of self, trust, friendship, and consumer activism have been less appreciated until recently, even though they likely have a more profound on our well being."

Pinwheel Dance Theatre Presents Gizza Hoon
Pinwheel Dance Theatre returns to the NZ Fringe Festival in 2013 with a brand new dance work, Gizza Hoon. The premiere at BATS Theatre will explore the relationship between commercial pop music and Kiwi social interactions. Inspired by the YouTube generation and late night Courtenay Place antics, Gizza Hoon offers dark comic insights and hot sensory explosions.
The creative collaborators behind the critically acclaimed OCD dance work Thricely? Precisely. A pocket full of pips, and surreal rom-com Don't Eat the Bed have reunited for a third Fringe offering. Choreographer Brigid Costello and composer Tane Upjohn-Beatson along with a variety of skilled dancers and designers are creating an original pop story which steps outside of their comfort zone into the shiny, amplified world of auto-tune, twerking and relentless thumping beats.
Director Brigid Costello is fascinated with the power pop music has over young people. Through her work with teenagers, she has discovered how genuinely captivating and exciting the Top 40 can be for its target audience. 'There is some pretty explicit content, but it is far from shocking to these followers. They watch and listen to it constantly through their headphones and smartphones, and it directly informs the way they interact with peers and make sense of their world'.
Tane Upjohn-Beatson is an expert sound designer and musician. He recently worked on Project Born with Sir Richard Taylor who said that 'his skill at weaving an emotional state and journey through a sweeping composition completely enthralled and amazed me'.
Upjohn-Beatson is intrigued by 'formula pop' and was keen to get involved in the creation of Gizza Hoon because pop music 'is what 90% of the planet not only listens to by choice, but also genuinely loves. I want to crack open the pop formula and find exactly what it is in there that captures or hypnotizes brains.' He says: 'I want to see if I can suck myself into the pop ecstasy, something I have until now assumed impossible'.
Joining the creative team as set designer is Robin Aitken of Athfield Architects. 'I see this as an opportunity to explore how both the set can inform the dance and the dancers can inform and change the shape of the set' says Aitken. 'This reflects the ways in which people shape and are shaped by a pop culture environment.'

WASHINGTON -- Her voice is a surprise.
First, because it is so deep and husky, older than her 41 years, the kind of voice that goes with a smoke and a Scotch, not a tailored, working-woman wardrobe and a perfect orb of camera-ready hair.
WASHINGTON -- Her voice is a surprise.
First, because it is so deep and husky, older than her 41 years, the kind of voice that goes with a smoke and a Scotch, not a tailored, working-woman wardrobe and a perfect orb of camera-ready hair.
But second, because it is so remarkably unfamiliar.
After Bob Dole's four decades in public life, his repeated presidential campaigns and his just-capped career in Congress, his grown daughter, Robin, who has lived near him in the Washington area almost her entire life, has remained virtually unseen and unheard by the public.
Yet, by all accounts, her life has clearly been informed by her father's political career -- which began the year she was born. Last week, as the candidate delivered his resignation speech, she was by his side, swallowing hard, blinking a lot, trying to "hold on" as she heard her father's voice choke with emotion.
After all, Robin Dole, the gravel-voiced daughter of the Kansas senator and his first wife, Phyllis, has really known her father only as a man defined by the marble halls of the Capitol.
"My father has been in Congress 35 years," she said, in one of her first extended interviews about herself. "That's the majority of my life."
In some ways, it has been a strikingly ordinary life. She was a Girl Scout, a pre-teen who fantasized about dating a Beatle (Paul, of course), a mediocre high school and college student who was more interested in socializing than studying and who watched her parents divorce.
She vacations at Rehoboth Beach with a group of close friends, collects antiques, as her mother does, recently lost her job as a lobbyist and, as a single woman who loves kids, hopes to fill the "void" she feels in her life.
But as she has campaigned for her father since age 5 -- when, in pigtails, she wore a homemade skirt that said "I'm for my daddy, are you?" -- her life has been woven with political threads that make it anything but ordinary.
And even as she has struggled to create a life outside the spotlight and the senator's imposing shadow, she has remained anchored in his world, falling back on the family business when other dreams and aspirations don't work out and showing the flag for him whenever called upon.
"If I had to use a word to describe her, it would be a real 'trouper,' " says Walt Riker, a former Dole aide. "She's been very loyal to her father, his cause and his campaigns. She'll step into the Bob Dole arena when it's warranted or needed, but she's not consumed by it."
Indeed, politics, while something she says she absorbed "by osmosis," is not in her blood.
"When we're out with friends, we're fairly apolitical," says Roger Schwartz, Robin Dole's high school and college boyfriend who is still a close friend. "We talk about our lives, our jobs, our families. She kind of looks at us as a sanctuary away from politics. She's not, like, a really complicated person."
Though personable and outgoing with a hearty laugh and what friends call a down-to-earth manner, the slim, blue-eyed brunette is extremely guarded. She has her father's emotional reserve, friends say, and is apprehensive about the media, concerned about betraying imperfections, however incidental, in the Dole family portrait.
She declines even to answer a question about whether, as her mother said, she is a smoker. "Why don't we just skip it?" interjects her press aide, who monitors each of Ms. Dole's conversations with a reporter, including those on the phone. "It's a superfluous fact."
Many of her friends declined to talk about her for this article.
"We all grew up here in the fishbowl," says Ms. Dole, who lives in a townhouse in Alexandria, Va., offering an explanation for all the protectiveness. "We're much more attuned to the press. Nobody wants to have something misconstrued, nobody wants to be responsible for that kind of thing."
Least of all, she. Asked about one of the most sensitive issues with which the Republican Party is grappling -- abortion -- she treads carefully. She does acknowledge that it is the one issue where she parts company with her father, who opposes a woman's right to an abortion except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother.
"He's had a consistent conservative pro-life record his entire career, and I respect that," says the senator's daughter. "And I believe it to a certain degree -- I could never have an abortion myself, for instance. But I feel a little differently. I don't know that it should be a political issue. It's my hope that one day we can do away with the need for abortions through prevention. I just wish we would focus more on educating."
Although she doesn't put herself in the "pro-choice" camp, neither does she consider herself "pro-life."
"I guess I don't really think of myself as either," she says.
No absentee father

I didn't meet Katie and Ridge until their wedding day. Our schedules were busy and we just didn't meet. That didn't matter though, we knew we were a good fit and I was so excited about their wedding out in Umatilla, Florida at the Elks Lodge Youth Camp! Outdoorsy, wooded, natural weddings are my thang and this was so exception. Not to mention, Katie and Ridge's photos were some of the most emotion evoking that I've taken this year. Seriously, several of them were on my Top 10's of this year and there's a reason why. You'll see.
Katie is very soft spoken, super sweet, and just very down to earth. Ridge is the same way. Their first date (as the best man reiterated) was mudding. Talk about a way to break the ice 😉 Don't worry though, they had a blast and then he took her to dinner later. Ridge is such a great guy, he proposed while on a walk after Katie had kind of a bad day at the hospital that she's a nurse at. They were there with his sister and her fiance and they suggested to pose for a picture, and he dropped to his knee. Super super cute and totally unexpected. My kind of proposal, for sure.
I loved their peacock feathers throughout the theme of the wedding and the ease of it all. They all had a fantastic time, the photo booth was such a hit and the guys pulled some super sweet moves (think the lawn mower and the cabbage patch!)….such a blast to photograph.
Thank you to both of you and your families for being super sweet and amazing….truly loved the wedding and meeting both of you. Katie and Ridge are also expecting their first child later this year and I am so beyond thrilled for them! I cannot wait until they find out what it is so I can send some goodies their way!!! Congratulations you two, you are going to be thee best parents!!!
Ceremony and Reception: Elks Lodge Youth Camp, Umatilla Florida
Cake: Incredible Edible Cakes
Florist: Claudia's Flowers and Gifts
Their flowers were so lovely. I could've photographed them all day. They were just gorgeous.
Katie's dress was absolutely stunning, I loooved it, and her bling on the right…..GORGEOUS!
I love this of Katie's sisters Lauren fixing Megan's hair and Megan fixing their mom's hair!
Don't worry, Katie….I can't put my eyelashes on myself either 😉
There's something I love about a mom helping put your dress on, in this case, it's Katie's mom and sister Sam….and I love it!
My favorite getting ready picture ever. Seriously in love with it!
I love this shot of Katie and 4 of her bridesmaids, aren't they all beautiful, and it's such a relaxing place
My other favorite photo….there are several, you'll seeJust an awesome wedding!
This made me tear up….just pure love and joy.
something about a boy and his mom

FYI* This was taken about 15 minutes before sunset. When a ceremony starts late, we just gotta work faster, and that's ok. Luckily, this lighting was amazing and we got lucky too! Just gotta roll with it and they turned out better that way too!
Hello Attitude 😉 love it
Stunning Katie. Just stunning.
oh- Stunna's…..ow ow

KEARNEY ENTERS FIRST SEASON WITH THE CRUSADERS: Sean Kearney is in his first season as the head men's basketball coach at Holy Cross in 2009-2010. This is the first collegiate head coaching position in the career of Kearney, who is the 15th head coach in the history of the program. Kearney came to Holy Cross from the University of Notre Dame, where he served as associate head coach for nine years under Mike Brey, helping the Irish to an overall record of 188-101 and five trips to the NCAA Tournament. Prior to his time at Notre Dame, Kearney was an assistant coach at Delaware, Northwestern, Philadelphia University and Providence. A 1981 graduate of the University of Scranton, Kearney's teams have advanced to the NCAA Tournament 10 times and the National Invitation Tournament five times during his 23 seasons as a collegiate assistant coach.
CRUSADERS REMAIN DOMINANT AT THE HART CENTER: Holy Cross currently owns an all-time record of 311-113 at the Hart Center, after posting its 300th win in the building against Sacred Heart on Nov. 14, 2008. The Crusaders had a 23-game winning streak at the Hart Center from Feb. 15, 2006-Jan. 2, 2008, which was the longest streak in the history of the building and the sixth-longest home court winning streak in the nation at the time. In 2006-2007 Holy Cross posted a perfect 14-0 mark at the Hart Center, setting a school record for the most home victories since it moved into the building. During the Hart Center's history, Holy Cross has posted a winning record at home in 30 out of 34 seasons, while recording double-figure home victories 16 times. The Crusaders stand 98-21 at home since the beginning of the 2000-2001 season, including a 62-11 record against Patriot League foes and an 12-4 mark in 2008-2009.
HOLY CROSS HAS GOOD SUCCESS ON THE BOARDS: The Crusaders look to once again be a strong rebounding team this year, after averaging 36.0 boards per contest and outrebounding their opponents by an average margin of 6.7 rebounds per game in 2008-2009. Last season, Holy Cross outrebounded its opponent in 26 out of 32 games played. The Crusaders were even more impressive in Patriot League regular season play, outrebounding their opponents by 7.4 boards per game. Forward Andrew Keister led the team with an average of 6.3 rebounds per game, while guard R.J. Evans stood second with 5.2 boards per contest. Forward Colin Cunningham averaged 4.8 rebounds per game, while forward Eric Meister pulled down 4.9 boards per contest and forward Alex Vander Baan chipped in with 3.3 rebounds per game. Entering 2009-2010, the Crusaders have posted a positive rebounding margin in 10 straight seasons, including eight years in which they outrebounded the opposition by at least four boards per game.
ASSUMPTION RECAP: R.J. Evans totaled 21 points and seven rebounds, as Holy Cross defeated Assumption 79-67 in an exhibition game at the Hart Center on Nov. 2, 2009. Devin Brown added 17 points for the Crusaders, while Eric Meister posted a double-double with 11 points and 18 rebounds. The Greyhounds held a 6-2 edge early in the game, before the Crusaders went on a 13-0 run to take the lead for good. Holy Cross eventually extended its lead to 20 points late in the first half, before taking a 38-20 advantage into the locker room. Assumption was never able to get any closer than 10 points during the second half, as the Crusaders cruised to a 12-point victory. Holy Cross shot 46.6 percent from the field (27 of 58) and 43.8 percent from three-point range (seven of 16) on the night, in addition to posting a 50-37 advantage on the boards. Assumption was led by Courtland Bluford with 16 points, five steals and four rebounds.
EVANS COMING OFF STELLAR ROOKIE YEAR: Sophomore guard R.J. Evans returns as the leading scorer for the Crusaders, after earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors last season. A year ago, Evans averaged a team-best 13.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals per contest, while scoring in double-figures in 21 of his last 26 games. He also earned All-Patriot League Tournament honors after averaging 20.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in three postseason games, including a career-high 31 points, six rebounds and three steals in the quarterfinal victory over Bucknell. A few of Evans' other top games in 2008-2009 came against San Francisco (26 points, 10 rebounds) and Siena (21 points, six rebounds, five assists, four steals). Evans' 429 points scored last season were the second-most ever by a Holy Cross freshman, behind only Ronnie Perry with 574 points in 1976-1977. He also became the first freshman to lead the Crusaders in scoring since Ryan Serravalle, who averaged 11.6 points per game in 1998-1999.
KEISTER LOOKS TO BUILD ON STRONG SOPHOMORE SEASON: Junior forward Andrew Keister developed into the Crusaders' top player at the low post positions last season, and was named first team All-Patriot League. In Patriot League regular season play, Keister averaged 12.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per contest, while hitting 67.3 percent (72 of 107) of his field goal attempts. He led the team with seven double-doubles in 2008-2009, including a 27-point, 14-rebound performance at Navy. A few of Keister's other top games last season came against Army at home (21 points, 12 rebounds), at Bucknell (18 points, 10 rebounds) and at Central Florida (18 points, five rebounds). Overall last year, Keister averaged 8.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, while leading the Patriot League by hitting 58.8 percent (104 of 177) of his shots from the field. Over the course of his collegiate career, Keister has now totaled 293 points and 236 rebounds, while making 52.9 percent (119 of 225) of his field goal attempts.
BEINERT LEADS HOLY CROSS FROM THE POINT: Junior guard Andrew Beinert has been one of the Crusaders' top players in the backcourt over the last two seasons. Last year, he averaged 8.5 points, 2.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game, while leading the Patriot League by hitting 45.4 percent (49 of 108) of his three-point field goal attempts. Three of Beinert's top games in 2008-2009 came at American, against Bucknell and at Boston University, as he totaled 18 points and three assists in each of those contests. He also dished out a career-high 10 assists in the victory over San Francisco. Overall last season, Beinert scored in double-figures 12 times, while leading the team in scoring four times. During his career as a Crusader, Beinert has now totaled 385 points, 114 rebounds, 109 assists and 45 steals, while hitting 40.7 percent (68 of 167) of his three-point field goal attempts.
THE LAST MEETING WITH HARVARD: Harvard's Jeremy Lin totaled 30 points, nine rebounds and four steals, to lead the Crimson to a 69-59 victory over Holy Cross at Lavietes Pavilion. Greg McCarthy led the Crusaders with a career-high 18 points and eight rebounds. Holy Cross led 12-11 after the first seven minutes of play, before going on a 12-2 run to increase its lead to 11 points (24-13) with just over six minutes left in the half. R.J. Evans scored six of the Crusaders' points during that spurt. But Harvard responded with a 16-0 run of its own to claim the lead, scoring 10 of those points on the free throw line. Holy Cross came back to score the final five points of the half, and the score was tied 29-29 heading into the locker room. The Crimson scored the first five points of the second half to regain the lead, but Holy Cross came back with a 6-1 run to tie up the score once again. Harvard was back in front 48-43 with 10 minutes left to play, when an 8-1 run put the Crusaders in the lead, 51-49. But the Crimson then regained control of the game, using an 11-1 spurt to take the lead for good. Holy Cross would get no closer than seven points in the closing minutes, as Harvard held on for the win. Eric Meister totaled 10 points and 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season, while Evans added 10 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals. The Crimson made 32 of 39 free throw attempts on the night, while the Crusaders were just 10 of 14 from the foul line.
MEISTER CLEANS THE GLASS FOR THE CRUSADERS: Senior center Eric Meister will once again be a key player for Holy Cross in the low post this season. Last year, Meister earned All-Patriot League Tournament honors, after averaging 12.7 points and 9.0 rebounds in three postseason games, while hitting 15 of 26 field goal attempts (57.7 percent). During the Patriot League semifinal victory over Colgate, he scored a career-high 19 points on nine of 10 shooting from the field, in addition to grabbing nine rebounds. A few of Meister's other top performances during the 2008-2009 season came at Lehigh (15 points, four rebounds), at American in the Patriot League championship game (12 points, 12 rebounds) and against American in the regular season (12 points, eight rebounds). Overall last year, he averaged 6.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocked shots per game. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Meister has now totaled 393 points, 348 rebounds and 58 blocked shots.
HOLY CROSS LOOKS TO REMAIN TOUGH ON DEFENSE: Holy Cross should once again be among the top defensive teams in the Patriot League in 2009-2010. In 32 games played last season, the Crusaders allowed just 62.2 points per game, while forcing 15.2 turnovers per contest and outrebounding the opposition by 6.7 boards per game. Holy Cross also averaged 8.5 steals and 3.2 blocked shots per contest a year ago. Since the beginning of the 2001-2002 campaign, the Crusaders have now held their opponents to only 59.3 points per contest. In addition, Holy Cross has ranked in the top 10 in the nation in scoring defense in five of the last eight seasons (sixth in 2001-2002 at 59.6; third in 2002-2003 at 58.7; seventh in 2003-2004 at 58.6; fifth in 2004-2005 at 56.8; and eighth in 2006-2007 at 57.5).
STEALING THE SHOW: In 32 games played last season, Holy Cross averaged a Patriot League-best 8.5 steals per game, including highs of 14 steals against Colgate and 13 steals at Boston University. Forward Colin Cunningham led the team with 56 steals, and guard R.J. Evans added 54 steals. Guard Andrew Beinert totaled 35 steals, and seven other Crusaders had at least 13 steals. Holy Cross has led the Patriot League in steals six times in the last seven seasons, while averaging over 10 steals per game in both 2003-2004 (10.7 steals per game) and 2004-2005 (10.3 steals per game).
CRUSADERS OWN FIVE PATRIOT LEAGUE REGULAR SEASON TITLES: Throughout its first 19 years of play in the conference, Holy Cross has won five Patriot League regular season titles. The last championship for the Crusaders came in 2006-2007, when they tied for first place in the conference with Bucknell, as both teams posted 13-1 records in league play. Prior to that, Holy Cross won outright Patriot League regular season titles in 2001, 2003 and 2005, while sharing the regular season championship in 1994. The Crusaders are the only team in league history to win more than two outright titles, while their five total championships are tied for the most in conference history with Navy (one outright, four shared) and Bucknell (two outright, three shared).
CRUSADERS HAVE FIVE PATRIOT LEAGUE TOURNAMENT CROWNS: Three years ago, the Crusaders captured their fifth Patriot League Tournament with their 74-66 victory over Bucknell on March 9, 2007. Holy Cross' previous tournament titles came in 2003 (72-64 over American), 2002 (58-54 at American), 2001 (68-64 over Navy in overtime) and 1993 (98-73 at Bucknell). The Crusaders' five conference tournament championships are the most in Patriot League history, with Navy having the second most (three in 1994, 1997 and 1998). Holy Cross has also appeared in the championship game seven times in the last nine years. Overall, the Crusaders have made a conference-record 10 appearances in the Patriot League championship game.
HOLY CROSS A FIXTURE IN CONFERENCE TITLE GAME: When the Crusaders faced American in the Patriot League championship game last season, it marked the seventh time Holy Cross appeared in the conference title game in the last nine years. The Crusaders have gone 4-3 in their seven championship game appearances during that time, winning the title in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2007. Only five other teams in the nation have played in their conference championship game as many times as Holy Cross has over the last nine years.
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: This year marks the 91st season of Holy Cross men's basketball. The Crusaders own an overall record of 1282-827 (.608), while making 24 postseason tournament appearances - 12 trips to the NCAA Tournament and 12 to the National Invitation Tournament. In the history of collegiate basketball, Holy Cross is one of only 16 schools to have won the NCAA Tournament (1946-1947) as well as the National Invitational Tournament (1953-1954). Throughout its history, Holy Cross has had six first team All-America selections, sent 10 players to the National Basketball Association, had four players inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had 23 players drafted by professional teams, had three players go on to coach professionally, and had 15 players who have coached in college.
SCOUTING THE CRIMSON: Harvard is coming off a 2008-2009 season in which it posted an overall record of 14-14, while placing sixth in the Ivy League with a 6-8 mark in conference games. The Crimson's top returning scorer is senior guard Jeremy Lin, who averaged 17.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last year ,while hitting 50.2 percent (166 of 331) of his field goal attempts. Sophomore forward Keith Wright looks to be Harvard's top player down low, after averaging 8.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 2008-2009. The Crimson is led by Tommy Amaker, who is entering his third season as Harvard's head coach. Amaker stands 22-36 with the Crimson, while owning a career record of 199-174 (including six years at Michigan and four seasons at Seton Hall).

Savory, spicy salsa heats up the taste budsWith the tomatoes soon a big commodity in backyard vegetable gardens, I've had a few calls from individuals asking about cooked salsa recipes. I featured one of my favorite go-to recipes a few years back, so I'm going to include it again this week, along with another easy-to-make cooked version and my favorite fresh salsa recipe.
