McDermott Named A Wooden Award Finalist
Los Angeles (March 9, 2013)— Creighton forward Doug McDermott is one of 15 finalists named to the John R. Wooden Award Ballot, it was announced today by The Los Angeles
Athletic Club on ESPN College GameDay. Selected by the Wooden Award
National Advisory Board, the ballot is made up of 15 student-athletes
who are eligible for college basketball's most prestigious honor. All
balloted players have proven to their universities that they are making
progress toward graduation and are maintaining at least a cumulative 2.0
GPA. The Women's ballot will be released
next week.
The Wooden Award All American Team, consisting of the nation's top 10 players, will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round of the NCAA Tournament. The John R. Wooden Award Player of the Year presented by Wendy's will be announced on ESPN during the Final Four Weekend in Atlanta. The 2013 Wooden Award Gala presented by Wendy's will take place April 11-13, 2013, at The Los Angeles Athletic Club. The Gala will honor the Men's and Women's Wooden Award winners, All Americans and the Legends of Coaching Award winner, Kansas Head Coach Bill Self.
Among the student-athletes chosen to the Wooden Award ballot were three players who did not make the Midseason Top 25: Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk, Indiana's Victor Oladipo, and Miami's Shane Larkin. Other notable selections include the nation's top scorer, Erick Green of Virginia Tech (25.0 ppg), and three freshmen: Anthony Bennett of UNLV, redshirt freshman Ben McLemore of Kansas, and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart.
Indiana (Oladipo and Cody Zeller) and Kansas (McLemore and Jeff Withey), both ranked in the Associated Press Top 5 this week, were the only programs with more than one player selected to the ballot. In terms of conferences, the Big Ten had four selections, followed by the ACC and Big 12 each with three. The Big East, Mountain West, Missouri Valley Conference, The Summit League, and the WCC had one balloted player each to round out the 15 players chosen. Voting will take place from March 18th through March 25th, allowing voters to account for the first weekend of competition in the NCAA Tournament.
About the John R. Wooden Award
Created in 1976, the John R. Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball. It is bestowed upon the nation's best player at an institution of higher education who has proven to his or her university that he or she is making progress toward graduation and maintaining a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA. Previous winners include such notables as Larry Bird ('79), Michael Jordan ('84), Tim Duncan ('97), Candace Parker ('07 and '08), Kevin Durant ('09) and Maya Moore of Connecticut ('09 and '11). Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis won the men's Award in 2012.
Since its inception, the John R. Wooden Award has contributed close to a million dollars to universities' general scholarship fund in the names of the All American recipients. The Award has also sent more than 1,000 underprivileged children to week-long college basketball camps in the Award's name. Additionally, the John R. Wooden Award partners with Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) each year to host the Wooden Award Special Olympics Southern California Basketball Tournament. The day-long tournament, which brings together Special Olympic athletes and the All Americans, takes place at The Los Angeles Athletic Club the weekend of the John R. Wooden Award Gala.

'Tis the season! Find the perfect holiday gifts for the writers in your life.
The Writer
Digital Editions / Renewals / Gifts
Novelist and teacher Steve Yarbrough brings a compulsion for words to the page and the classroom.
Do you ever forget the first writing teacher who steered you toward a career?
'Tis the season for gift giving. We asked six authors with recently published novels to offer tips – as gifts to aspiring writers.
Poet and journalist Alissa Quart combines her skills for a sprawling examination of the outsider class.
Ward found out the hard way that writing memoir is a very different experience from creating fiction, and that it is something she'll never attempt again. Memoirists and novelists alike will find something of value in Ward's thoughts on her latest work.
From the classroom to the newsroom, good advice can last a lifetime.
"I wanted to smoke in a left Bank café," Miller says. "I wanted to be sophisticated and daring, nothing like my nice-Jewish-girl self and her nice Jewish parents from whom I longed to escape." What she found in Paris, however, was a deeper connection to her parents – and a sense that liberté may lie elsewhere.
The key to finding "real life" sources is to search broadly, keep lists and get out of the house.

PHIPPSBURG, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Storm after storm this winter has slammed the Maine coastline, causing serious erosion at some of the state's beaches.
"Popham Beach in itself fluxes back and forth, but it seems to me - you know I've been here my whole life - that the erosion has escalated for some unknown reason," said Lee Rainey, Phippsburg's code enforcement officer. "We've got some people that are pretty close to losing their cottages."
Rainey says erosion forms storms has historically been a problem at Popham Beach, but the ocean's winds and waves havebeen especially destructive the past decade. Over the past few years as much as two hundred feet of dunes have been washed away, threatening homes and the only road into this part of town, and there is little property owners or the town can do to stop it.
"These folks have been there forever, and you know, this one lady who is right on the corner and is very close to losing her cottage, has been for 40 or 50 years," explained Rainey. "She is in her 90's - and I just want them to be able to live out the rest of their lives in their cottages."
Police Chief John Skroski says the situation is starting to have an impactpeople's safety.
"The changes that I have seen at Popham are drastic," the chief stated. "I can't believe every year more and more of the beach is disappearing, and now we are seeing cliffs edging Route 209."
"We have got to be certain that that road is secure and safe, that a storm doesn't come in and wash it out and cut off all our residences because there is no other egress, there is no other exit from that section."
Chief Skroski is also worried that once the weather warms up, people who flock to the beach will become stranded as sections of the beach are now underwater at mid-tide.

With these four volumes Carl Sandburg completes the life of Lincoln begun in "The Prairie Years." Taking the total achievement, there is nothing in historical literature that I know quite comparable with it. I generally distrust the meeting of perfect writer and perfect theme. There is a blueprint seemliness about such conjunctions that rarely issues in a creative product.
As a film that neither attempts more than it can do nor is satisfied with the trivial, Port of Shadows is a pleasure. It was made in France by Marcel Carné; and apart from the thrills and satisfactions of its story, it is one of those things an occasional French film-maker does so perfectly: an atmosphere created, a mood unbroken.
Not the least interesting phenomenon of the last four years has been the growing influence of Rilke upon English poetry: indeed, Rilke is probably more read and more highly esteemed by English and Americans than by Germans, just as Byron and Poe had


text: A diesel fuel tank truck overturned Wednesday afternoon south of Scofield Reservoir, injuring the driver and restricting traffic on SR 96. The driver, whose name was withheld pending notification of next-of-kin, was rushed to Castleview Hospital by ambulance. The truck is owned by Pierce Oil Co. of Price. Highway Patrol troopers are investigating. However, tire ruts indicate that the truck left the road and entered soft gravel off the narrow highway about 100 yards from where it stopped. The tank did not rupture, but some diesel oil from the cab spilled on the highway and was later cleaned off.
