STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State's Lady Bulldog tennis squad remained undefeated on the young 2013 season Sunday after taking down No. 75 ranked Houston in a thrilling 4-3 decision.
After the teams battled to a 3-3 tie, Georgiana Patrasc for the Lady Bulldogs and Houston's Celia Fraser went head-to-head in the deciding match on court 2, with the almost the entire final set being played with no other matches on court. Patrasc took the first set 6-4. Fraser answered with the same result in the second set. The overall team win then came down to a grueling third set. The evenly matched opponents battled back and forth and were tied at 4-4 after Patrasc overcame an early break by Fraser. After Patrasc held serve to 5-4, she earned two match points and won the first on a big forehand that Fraser was unable to return. That clinched a 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 victory and the MSU team win.
That stage was set for that fantastic finish after State took a 3-0 lead only to see Houston rally back to tie things at 3-3.
The Lady Bulldogs took the early 1-0 lead, taking the doubles point with wins on courts 1 and 3. Patrasc and Petra Ferancova paired up to post an 8-5 win on court 3 against Fraser and Maja Kazimieruk of Houston. Houston's Elena Kordolaimi and Jo Garvey responded with an 8-5 victory on court 2 against Lien Van Geel and Sarai Flores.
MSU's Alexandra Perper and Naomi Tran, nationally ranked at No. 54, secured the doubles win by taking down Charlotte Phillips and Rocio Martin Fernandez of the Lady Cougars in an 8-5 decision and the No. 1 position.
Singles play began with two solid wins for the Lady Bulldogs. Perper was the first to claim a singles victory, defeating Houston's Kordolaimi 6-2, 6-2 at the No. 1 position. Flores then handed the Lady Bulldogs a 3-0 lead with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Dionne Sanders on court 6.
Houston charged back with three consecutive wins in some close decisions. Rocio Martin Fernandez posted a 7-5, 6-2 win against MSU's Tran at the No. 3 position. Houston's Phillips executed a tough 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 victory on court 4 against the MSU freshman Van Geel. Lady Cougar Kazimieruk tied the score at 3-all, winning a first-set tiebreaker against Ferancova to eventually take the match 7-6(5), 6-4 on court 5.
"We expected a battle today, and we got it. I am happy with the energy that the girls brought. They did a great job getting the doubles point, which proved to be critical. We did not play our best in singles, but the fighting spirit was always there. Our freshmen did a good job today which is important this early in the season," said head coach Daryl Greenan. "Georgiana's effort to win in three sets in the deciding match was huge!'
The Lady Bulldogs will be back in action as they host the Lady Privateers of the University of New Orleans Friday, Feb. 8, at 1:30 p.m. Updates for Lady Bulldog tennis can be found at hailstate.com or through Twitter (@mstateWT).

01.18.2012 / Critical Road Test for Soaring Jays. Posting by Brian Kooienga, Creighton Men's Basketball Graduate Manager.
In what has been an absolutely grueling two weeks of conference play, I want to say on behalf of the staff, how proud we are of our team. Battling through colds, aches, pains, road trips, and national media distractions, our guys have managed to grind out 4 straight wins in 8 days. A pretty remarkable feat considering two of these games were on the road in hostile environments.
This week's Wednesday night matchup waiting for the Bluejays in Springfield, Missouri proves to be a tough game, with all kinds of storylines built into it already. The Missouri State Bears are the only team that has beaten our Bluejays at home, and remain to be our only conference loss. Since opening up conference play 0-1 in December, our guys have fought, battled, and earned their way to a share of first place in conference standings with a 6-1 record.
Led by excellent play from senior point guard Antoine Young and junior wing player Grant Gibbs, this team is extremely unselfish with the ball, and is actually leading the country in assists per game. With the ability to move the ball around quickly and efficiently, Doug McDermott and Gregory Echenique have had remarkable success the last several games because of our ability to get them the ball where they need it, and more importantly, when they need it.
When we arrive in Springfield, there will be one theme for the trip, revenge. Since arriving in Omaha, Coach McDermott and his staff has not beaten the Bears. Dating back even further, Antoine Young and remaining players from years before, have an even longer losing streak to Missouri State. If we stick to our game plan, and actually execute the game plan, unlike the December 28th game, we believe that it will be a streak that comes to an end on Wednesday.
If we can escape this road trip with a win, we will find ourselves in great shape heading in the middle of our conference season. Having already secured road wins at Bradley, Illinois State, and Wichita State, this team has already won more games on the road than the past two years combined. Following the game at Missouri State we play an early afternoon game against last year's MVC Tournament champions and NCAA Tournament Team the Indiana State Sycamores. Led by a crafty, does-it-all player Jake Odum, the Sycamores are a very dangerous team that needs to be taken very seriously.
It's time to head upstairs in the Old Gym for practice, before I go I need to tell everyone about this awesome contest that First National Bank is putting on. For starters, the MVC Tournament down in Saint Louis, MO is absolutely nuts. Ask anyone that has been, and they will talk about it as being one of the most exciting weekends of their year, and it actually turns into an annual trip for most fans. Back to the contest, First National Bank is giving away a set of 4 tickets, an autograph ball, and a huge $500 First National Visa gift card. Unreal right? Click the link below and enter to win, I couldn't imagine any Bluejay fan that wouldn't want to win this contest!
Looks like I'm late to practice, again. Everyone be sure to tune in to our game against Missouri State on Wednesday at 7 p.m.!
Go Jays!

Player of the Day: Kevin Kyle
Former Scotland international in the spotlight.Kevin Kyle spent eight years with Sunderland after joining as a youth from Ayr United in 1998.
The Stranraer-born youngster joined up with the Black Cats' reserve team before making his first-team debut in a 1-0 win at Southampton in April 2001.
Kevin had loan spells with Huddersfield Town, Darlington and Rochdale before he began to break into the Sunderland first-team at the start of the 2002-03 season.
Kyle's first Black Cats goal came in a 3-2 League Cup win at Arsenal in November 2002 as Howard Wilkinson recorded his first win as Sunderland boss.
Following relegation from the top-flight, the Scottish international was regularly utilised by new manager Mick McCarthy as the Black Cats set about returning to the Barclays Premier League immediately.
And the Scot was a key figure as McCarthy's side narrowly missed out in the playoff semi-finals to Crystal Palace.
Kyle notched in both legs with the Eagles, after previously notching 14 goals in all competitions, but Sunderland lost on penalties and would have to wait until the following campaign to return to the top-flight.
Unfortunately for Kevin, a hip injury curtailed his progress at the Stadium of Light and he would make just seven appearances as McCarthy's side raced to the Championship title during the 2004-05 season.
The Scot returned at the start of the 2005-06 Premier League campaign but couldn't help Sunderland survive as immediate relegation followed with Kyle's last goal for the club coming in a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City.
He moved to Coventry City in 2006 for a reported fee of £600,000 before returning to his native Scotland with Kilmarnock in 2009.
Spells with Hearts and Rangers followed before he moved to his current club, Ayr United, at the start of the 2013-14 season.
Capped ten times by his country, Kyle returned figures of 19 goals in 109 games for the Black Cats.

- Folk Dance Revival through Oral History (with English Folk Dance and Song Society), with Professor Theresa Buckland
- Using oral history as its methodology, this project explores the revival of British folk dance through its various stages during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It takes note of the most recent resurgence of interest, fuelled by a return to traditional acoustic folk music in the 1990s and aided by media attention such as the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, as well as and films and documentaries charting the revival of dance forms.
- Interdisciplinarity & Collaborative Practice for the Independent Dance Artist (with Independent Dance and Siobhan Davis Dance), with Professor E Claid
- Collaboration and interdisciplinarity will be the common broader areas of research that this PhD project could address. The practice-as-research project will be shaped in further detail by the applicant in dialogue with the supporting partners and the University of Roehampton, and we would expect the researcher to find ways to embed their practice and research into the activities of ID and SDD. As with any p-a-r project, the researcher would outline the types of outcomes they imagine would emerge from their practice.
- Professionalisation of Indian Dance in the UK: Akademi's pioneering role (with Akademi of Indian Dance), with Dr Ann David
- For over 30 years, Akademi has pioneered new visions of dance, synthesizing traditional and contemporary influences and cultural exchange and becoming part of the artistic DNA of the UK. This project examines the professionalisation of Indian dancers and the pioneering roles Akademi, and other Indian dance institutions have played in this significant change and perception of these performers.
- Constructing a Legacy: British Black Dance (in partnership with ADAD – African Dance of the Diaspora), with Dr Stacey Prickett
- ADAD is a national organization that supports the practice and appreciation of the dance of the African Diaspora. Its work enables such dance genres to be visible and to be valued as part of the British cultural experience. This scholarship would help raise the profile of dance of the African diaspora in Britain, mapping how the work of ADAD sits within a larger global framework.
- Curation as a Form of Artistic Practice (in partnership with Dance Umbrella), with Dr Efrosini Protopapa
- Founded in 1978, Dance Umbrella is internationally recognised for its annual October festival. In addition, projects supporting artists and engaging with the public with choreography now take place year-round. To date, DU has reached audiences of over one million people in London. As a curator of outstanding, experimental and newly created works, DU's work is unparalleled.

"American Horror Story" enjoyed its highest ratings with its third installment, "Coven." Fans are already buzzing about the Emmy-winning anthology series fourth season, subtitled "Freak Show." On April 18, "Vulture" posted an interview with AHS recurring cast member Denis O'Hare in which he divulged some interesting tidbits about his role next season.
O'Hare said his character will be at "cross purposes" with series lead actress Jessica Lange's character and he will play "a collector of freaks." Color us curious. Just what, pray tell, is a freak collector? Does he seek them out and showcase them in a trophy room?
O'Hare has certainly made an indelible impression with both of his "American Horror Story" characters. Who can ever forget Constance Langdon's estranged lover Larry in season one? He was accused of torching his wife and two daughters and subsequently imprisoned for their deaths. He killed Constance's disfigured son Beau at her request and then Beau's disturbed surviving brother Tate (Evan Peters) doused Larry with gasoline and lit his face on fire in retaliation. Hence, Larry received the nickname "Burn Man."
Larry went on to blackmail the series main character Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott). Larry remained besotted with Constance despite her wicked ways. He even became imprisoned again after taking the fall for Travis' murder. Talk about an unhealthy obsession. Creepy doesn't even begin to describe this guy.
O'Hare didn't appear in season two's "Asylum" but made a memorable season three "Coven" return as the silent and skulking butler Spalding, who was once again smitten with Jessica Lange's character Fiona. He also had an incredibly disturbing doll fetish. The freakiest of them all being dead Madison (Emma Roberts) before she was brought back to life. He would prop her corpse in a corner as an honored guest at his dolls' tea parties. Shudder.
Finding Denis O'Hare at odds with Jessica Lange in "Freak Show" will undoubtedly prove to be an interesting shift in the co-stars' onscreen dynamic. O'Hare definitely has a knack for delivering all sorts of bizarre character eccentricities and seems undaunted by grueling hours spent in a makeup chair, if necessary. And, he dives right in to unimaginable tasks like when Spalding cut out his own tongue to protect the woman he loves in "Coven."
There is literally no telling what sorts of outlandish antics O'Hare will have up his sleeve in collecting freaks in the upcoming fourth AHS installment. This kind of activity begs all sorts of questions: What is his motivation? Does he collect freaks to save them and hide them away from judgmental society? Is he cruel to them, like Kathy Bates' evil slave-torturing character Madame LaLaurie in "Coven?" Does he get his jollies on Freaky Fridays? The possibilities are freakishly endless!
Denis O'Hare joins returning "American Horror Story" cast members Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Evan Peters, Gabourey Sidibe, Frances Conroy and Jamie Brewer. Jessica Lange will play the German freak show manager. Plus, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Michael Chiklis is also joining the freak-fest as Kathy Bates' ex-husband and Evan Peters' father. Imagine what an interesting family trio these three will make.
"American Horror Story" returns in October 2014 on FX.

Huskie duo recognized for success in the classroom
Huskies to honor retiring head coach Pam Tyska
Huskies improve in final round to finish eighth at MAC Championships
Allie Parthie improves on day two
Kelsie Passolt paces Huskies
Northern Illinois University women's golf head coach Pam Tyska holds the distinction of being NIU's longest tenured head coach. Tyska is in her 26th year at the helm of the NIU women's golf program after arriving in DeKalb in 1986.
Northern Illinois responded quickly to Tyska's teaching, winning two tournaments and placing in the top five an amazing 10 times in 12 tourneys during the 1986-87 campaign. Tyska and the Huskies have continued that success throughout her career, as she has led NIU to 19 first-place finishes, 28 runner-up marks and 97 top-five showings in 245 tournaments.
The fall of 2009 saw Tyska accomplish one of her career highlights away from the field of competition. Tyska spearheaded the NIU men's and women's golf team's participation in the 2009 Solheim Cup, one of the premier events in women's golf. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Tyska, NIU golfers were on the course as ball-spotters for one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. It was the first time in Solheim Cup history collegiate golfers had been used in such a capacity.
On the course, Tyska's team carried the excitement from the summer at the Solheim into a successful fall season. The Huskies won the 25th Annual Huskie Classic by outdueling Loyola by seven strokes over the final 18. The Huskies also placed second at the NIU Invitational at Brasada Ranch in Oregon.
The 2008-09 season was highlighted by Tyska disciple Kim Hunley. Hunley recorded two of the best 18-hole performances in NIU history with a 70 at the Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational and a 72 at the NIU Snowbird Intercollegiate, the third and ninth-best scores in the record book. Under Tyska's guidance, Hunley has the best career scoring average in program history with just one semester left to play. As a team, the Huskies recorded four top-five finishes.
The Huskies had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2007-08, posting six top-10 finishes, winning the Huskie Classic and sweeping the Snowbird Intercollegiate. NIU's victory at the Snowbird was the Huskies' first at that event since 1987. In addition, Hunley and Abbie Many took home the individual titles at the Snowbird Intercollegiate and the Western Illinois Invitational, respectively. Jessica Parmenter had a solid first season of collegiate golf, posting three top-10 finishes.
Tyska's expertise has gone well beyond coaching tactics and has extended into her skill as a recruiter. Included in her resume of talented pupils is Nicole Jeray, selected as the National Player of the Year by both Ram Golf and Golfweek Magazine in 1990-91. Jeray won eight individual medals for the Cardinal and Black between 1989 and 1991 before joining the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour. Tyska's other pupils at NIU include Shelley Wendels-Gilk, who earned her LPGA card in 1996. Allison Beam began her first season on the FUTURES Golf Tour in the summer of 2003 and Kara Soderberg started in 2004.
The Huskies' achievements under Tyska are not limited to the course. Northern Illinois has had consistent representation on the National Golf Coaches Association Academic All-America honor roll, a prestigious list that includes 15 Huskies sporting grade point averages of 3.50 or higher, including 2008 recipients Abbie Many and Devon Harteneck. Many became the 11th Huskie during the Tyska era to earn multiple NGCA Academic All-America accolades. NIU recorded a perfect mark of 1,000 and ranked in the top 10 percent of all women's golf squads in the nation in the NCAA's 2009 Academic Progress Rate Report. It's the sixth-straight year Tyska's squad has maintained a perfect APR.
Tyska owns a host of regional and national awards as well, winning Midwest Region Coach of the Year accolades from the NGCA in 1991 and from the LPGA in 1994 and 1996. The veteran links boss' reputation has earned the respect of her peers, as she has been selected to the elite group of clinicians for the NCAA's Youth Education Through Sports (YES) Clinics every year they have been held since 1993. The clinics help potential collegiate golfers in their development with discussions on the role of academics, goal-setting and mental skill development on and off the course, as well as recruiting and admission requirements.
She was also instrumental in founding "Get a Girl Golfing" clinics at NIU in 1998 and the NIU Hooka-a-Kid on Golf in the Schools program in 2003. In January 2003, Tyska was honored with the inaugural National Golf Coaches Association Founders Award at the annual NGCA Convention in Orlando, Fla.
In 2006, Tyska received the NGCA's most prestigious individual honor, the Gladys Palmer Meritorious Service Award. The award recognizes outstanding service to women's golf "above and beyond the call of duty." Her string of awards continued in 2010, when the Kids Golf Foundation named Tyska an Illinois Site Coordinator of the Year for her work as clinic coordinator of the LPGA/Solheim Ronald McDonald House Junior Golf Clinic.
Tyska not only excels at teaching the game, but as a student of it. On Sept. 14, 2002, Tyska took out her driver and fired a 278-yard shot down the fairway which was good enough for her to qualify for the REMAX World Long Drive World Championships in Mesquite, Nev. She continues to compete and has held a Top 10 World Ranking with a qualifying drive of 298 yards.
Tyska also sat on the NCAA Midwest Regional Selection Committee from 1989 through 1995 and on the NGCA Awards Committee from 1990 through 1996. She served a stint on the NGCA Board of Directors from 1996-2001. In addition to her extensive list of NCAA appointments, Tyska is a member of the NGCA, LPGA, PGA, and the National Association of Golf Educators. She is an advisor for The Fairway Network, the Illinois Junior Golf Association and the Women's Western Golf Association.
Prior to taking the helm at NIU, Tyska was an assistant golf professional at St. Charles Country Club. During the off-seasons, she served as a rules official and assistant tournament director of the FUTURES Ladies Professional Golf Tour in 1983-84 and taught physical education at the University of Chicago Laboratory School.
Tyska earned four varsity letters in golf at Illinois State University, gaining Illinois Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (IAIAW) honors three times. The Hinsdale, Ill., native received her undergraduate degree in physical education with a coaching emphasis from ISU in 1983.
The 47-year-old Tyska serves as the teaching professional at the Buena Vista Golf Club in DeKalb and is co-owner of Golf Schools for Women.

"Elmo" Voice Kevin Clash Accused of Sex with Teenage Boy; Actor Denies Charges
Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo on "Sesame Street," has taken a leave of absence from the show amid allegations he had a sexual relationship with a teenage boy.
A 23-year-old man claims he and Clash began the relationship seven years ago, when he was just 16.
Clash has reportedly acknowledged being involved with the unidentified man as an adult, but strongly denies the accusations that their sexual history began when the man was still underage.
Sesame Workshop has met with the accuser and investigated his claims, reportedly determining that the underage sex allegations are unsubstantiated, according to TMZ.
A series of messages between Clash and the accuser do not directly indicate a sexual relationship, although Sesame Workshop personnel have reportedly deemed them an inappropriate use of company e-mail.
Clash calls the allegations false and defamatory.
In a statement to TMZ, the voice actor says, "I had a relationship with [the accuser]. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not."
As for the leave of absence, Sesame Workshop explains, "Kevin insists that these allegations are false and defamatory and he has taken actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so."

It's a pleasant afternoon in July, and a group of us — a city councillor, a landscape architect and a handful of
university types — are scuffing up a dirt track in a decommissioned municipal landfill on the outskirts of Guelph,
Ont. Under our feet lies a four-decade accumulation of household trash capped with soil and clay to create a rising
landscape of small hills and gentle valleys. Were it not for the frequent intrusion of leachate-monitoring stations and
methane-gas wells, tightly enclosed by fences and locks, we might forget that we are walking over a midden of spent and
wasted things, a graveyard for years of gotta-have-it dreams.
Yet the members of the hiking party are lighthearted,
inspired not by what this place is but by what it could
become. In their eyes, this wasteland is crying out to be transformed
into flower-rich habitat for bees, butterflies, beetles
and other flower-friendly bugs. Already, they can envision
a sign at the entrance welcoming visitors to "Pollinator
Park," the world's first sanctuary for the insects that feed us.

University of Nebraska Head Coach Mark Manning shows you a parallel, "cowboy" ride from flat on the mat to a chicken wing. This is a great series to rack up nearfall points.
Three finishes are shown from here. First, walk the chicken wing over the hips, put your knee in his ribs on the opposite side of the wing and finish with a reverse half nelson. Second, lock a wing with both arms and walk the chicken wing over the opponent's head. Third, walk the single wing over the head. Coach Manning finishes this segment with a warm up drill to practice getting the chicken wing in effectively.

When I first heard that the Red Lantern Corps would be getting their own series, I was absurdly excited. I'm a big fan of the Lantern Corps spectrum, particularly the Reds, so it was a title I was going to be sure to pick up (and is actually what got me on board with the New 52 in the first place). However, the more I started thinking about it, the harder it was to envision what the comic would be like. With the exception of Atrocitus, none of the Reds can even speak coherently… how could this comic possibly sustain itself?
The first issue didn't exactly do much to assuage my doubts. The majority of the text is Atrocitus's internal narration and a lot of that was rather heavy-handed and melodramatic. He keeps the corpse of Krona, a former Oan guardian who was responsible for the destruction of Atrocitus's home planet of Ryut, and uses it as some kind of silent confidant that he can monologue at. In the first issue, he says: "In many ways, we are like lovers. I am married to you in my rage, Krona. Married for all time." The first time I read that line, I was dead set on complaining about how utterly bizarre it was, but it definitely helps to hammer home the point that Atrocitus has spent a wee bit too much time alone with his own thoughts. As a result of those one-sided conversations, the pacing of Red Lanterns is rather sluggish to start and the main storyline takes time to reveal itself. Even by the end of the first issue, it isn't exactly clear where things are going.
The central problem is that Atrocitus believes that he's lost his edge and that his rage has somehow become "less pure." Across the subsequent issues, he struggles to keep his frothing ragenauts in check, all of whom seem to sense the change in him. Thinking they are looking to overthrow him as leader, he throws Bleez into the "blood ocean" on Ysmault in order to restore her memories and enable her to speak and think past the searing napalm that courses through her veins. Realising that he can't exactly trust Bleez, especially now that she's regained some of her wits, he proceeds to toss Zilius Zox, Skallox, and Ratchet into the pool as well. They all manage to survive the trial, so future issues promise to be far less one-sided than some of the earlier ones have been, and that improvement is already evident by issue 5.
It was good to see the Red Lanterns given more purpose beyond simply rage-barfing Green Lantern villains. Atrocitus is determined to make their mission "to punish those who deserve retribution," which actually enables the team to become heroes. Morally questionable heroes, perhaps, but still heroes. Atrocitus himself even wonders how one pain can be more worthy of retribution than another, so he is aware of the quandary that he has put himself in by becoming quite literally judge, jury, and executioner for the wrongdoers of the universe.
One thing that was fairly impressive about these issues was the use of subtle twists to keep the reader guessing, and subtle isn't exactly a word one would associate with the Red Lanterns. While there have been no big "gasp" reveals thus far, there have been several little moments that make you question your future assumptions. The subplot that runs throughout the first five issues about two human brothers on Earth seems fairly clear cut at first. One of the brothers – Raymond – is a prime candidate for the Corps; he is quick to anger and often uses his fists to vent his frustrations. However, by the end of issue 5 we learn that he wasn't the brother we should have been keeping an eye on after all.
Additionally, there was a passing mention in the first issue that the same remote valley that houses the body of Krona is also the location where Atrocitus buried the "failed" Red Lanterns that he created when first forming the Corps. At first it seems like a bit of background fluff, but issue four shows something lurking amongst the trees while Atrocitus speaks to Krona. He assumes it is Bleez spying on him, but we never see for sure. Then when the body of Krona turns up missing the end of the issue and Bleez doesn't seem to be the culprit, it dawns that one of Corps rejects might be to blame. Granted, that hasn't been revealed for certain yet but it nevertheless gave me pause.
Despite its rocky start, it was clear that Red Lanterns had a lot of potential and those who stuck with it have been rewarded with issues 4 and 5. Even the first issue, with its shortcomings, still had a lot to recommend it. The fantastic splash page featuring everyone's favourite rage cat, Dex-Starr and Atrocitus's ominous arrival to rescue his furry friend made it worth the cover price alone. It's clear that this series finally has some momentum going and it'll be worth picking up the next few to see how the team deals with their newest member, what's lurking in the valley, and what exactly happened to Krona's body.

Kim Kardashian, 33, and Kanye West, 36, have pushed their wedding date up by two months according to Us Weekly, February 5, 2014.
Kim, star of "Keeping Up with the Kardashian's" and her rapper fiancé, Kanye West, are busy planning the wedding of the century. The date was set for July, but the couple decided to have the wedding in May. No expense spared with E! picking up the bill.
A source told Us that Kanye has plans so his daughter North will have a larger part in the wedding. This may be an elaborate scheme to boost ratings of the failing "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" show. Everyone knows that Kanye is against his daughter appearing on a reality show. However, if she is to take part in the wedding, that may mean TV exposure time for the young Kardashian/West baby.
Another source told Us that Kim and Kanye are planning, "lots of events leading up to the big day" for their guests.
How does Kim feel about the small wedding turned into a larger than life public event? An insider said, "Kim isn't totally pumped about a huge wedding, but she's going along with it." Even though Kanye has taken over many of the wedding details, Kim still has some say in her wedding attire. According to Us, she will do one dress change.
Kanye owns an apartment near the Champs-Elysees. When Kim was on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show, she said that the wedding would be in France because it is like their second home. She refused to divulge the date or the exact location for her wedding.
Be sure to come back for more up to the minute news on this wedding.

Jane Campion Speaks of "Inherent Sexism" at Cannes
Jane Campion, president of the main competition jury at the Cannes Film Festival this year and the first and only woman to win the Palme d'Or, spoke of the film industry's "inherent sexism" during the press conference opening the festival this morning. She added, of course, that 20-percent of the films chosen for Cannes this year were made by women (although, as many others have pointed out, those numbers might not be true). But she wasn't completely letting the festival off the hook. "But nevertheless it does feel very undemocratic and women do notice, you know," Campion added. "Time and time again we don't get our share of representation." Sofia Coppola, along with the actresses Carole Bouquet, Leila Hatami, and Jeon Do-yeon join Campion on the main jury. Which means there are almost as many women on one jury as there are who directed films at Cannes this year. (more…)
Swiss Artist H.R. Giger Passes Away at 74
It's being reported that Swiss artist H.R. Giger, famous for his sinewy designs used in Ridley Scott's landmark sci-fi film "Alien," for which he won an Academy Award, passed away on Monday from injuries he obtained after suffering a fall at his home in Zurich. He was 74 years old. The news was confirmed by the H.R. Giger Museum, a converted château in Gruyères, Switzerland, that that artist purchased in 1998.
Hollywood's Obsession With Real-Life Tragedy
Now that the mystery behind the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 is seemingly closer to reaching its tragic conclusion (and no, it wasn't a black hole), what is the next step? Do we support the families who've lost loved ones? Do we investigate how this happened, and what could have been done to prevent it? Do we examine our own tabloid-crazy obsession with the entire thing, and look at how it might have made the situation worse?
Lessons of Darkness at New Directors/New Films
Toward the beginning of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," Charles Marlow, the sailor at the center of the novel's journey, comments on the fading light of civilization. "It had ceased to be a blank space of delightful mystery — a white patch for a boy to dream gloriously over," the character remarks. "It had become a place of darkness."

Edgar G. Ulmer's "Bluebeard" at Nitehawk Cinema
Edgar G. Ulmer could make something out of nothing. Houdini of the poverty-row filmmakers, he cranked out remarkable B-pictures in the best sense of the term, economical and bristling with caustic energy. His best films — the dark as night "Detour" or horror-classic "The Black Cat" — are far better than most Hollywood productions of the period, with little of the puffery and half the budget. According to legend, Ulmer shot some of his films in as little as six days, a remarkable achievement. Some of those later cheapo films — "Murder is My Beat" and "Ruthless" specifically, from what I've seen — have been ignored for too long and are in need of critical reconsideration.
Amour Fou on Valentine's Day: "Possession" at Anthology Film Archives
Andrzej Zulawski's "Possession," a movie about love if your idea of love is being so consumed by your partner that you spew blood out of your mouth, will screen this weekend as part of a three-film program at Anthology Film Archives dedicated to literal amour fou. I'm not even going to pretend I know what's happening during most of "Possession," but here's a quick breakdown: Mark (Sam Neill), a spy of mysterious origins who returns home to his wife Anna (Isabelle Adjani), who wants a divorce. When she leaves, he starts to go crazy with jealousy. Then he finds out the man she is having an affair with isn't actually a man, but some creature pulled deep from the trenches of her subconsciousness. In between there are doppelgangers, bodily fluids, and Adjani's long freakout in an underground tunnel that resembles an exorcism choreographed by Pina Bausch. The camera, spinning more and more wildly, often through the empty streets of Berlin, as the movie becomes unhinged, adds to the delirious feeling. You won't leave the movie feeling good, but you can safely walk away knowing that, as bad as it gets, it will never get this bad. Or will it? (more…)
Maria Callas as "Medea" in "Vengeance is Hers" Series at BAM
"Vengeance is Hers," one of the strongest and most exciting film programs of the year, runs at the Brooklyn Academy of Music from February 7-18. Focusing on female revenge films (quite a few made by female filmmakers), the series displays the varied cinematic forms that theme has taken — from low budget trash to melodrama to screwball comedy. The series begins tonight with a newly restored 35mm print of Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Medea" (1969), starring opera legend Maria Callas, a brilliant moment of casting. (more…)

For Immediate
Chocolate: Exploding the Myths
WASHINGTON - As sales of chocolate reached $13 billion in 1998, candy was not all the industry was selling, according to Bonnie Liebman, Director of Nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The chocolate industry, based on research that it sponsored, claim that chocolate is virtually a health food. But Liebman says that chocolate candy is about as healthful as, well, chocolate candy.
The industry would have us believe that chocolate candy is right up there with fruits and vegetables, said Liebman. But chocolate is not a health food. If people are eating chocolate candy for their health rather than for pleasure, theyre fooling themselves. Considering that candy consumption has grown 50 percent since 1980, chocolate is certainly contributing to obesity.
In an article in the March issue of CSPIs Nutrition Action Healthletter, Liebman punctures the myths that the industry is weaving around chocolate.
Myth #1--Chocolate Helps Prevent Cancer
Based on the fact that chocolate contains high levels of certain antioxidants, the Chocolate Manufacturers Associations Web site implies that eating a few Hershey Kisses is tantamount to eating a salad. The site states that antioxidants mop up free radicals, which may be the triggers for cancer. Ingredients may reduce the risk for developing cancer. In fact, hundreds of studies on people link diets high in fruits and vegetables to a lower risk of cancer, while there are no human studies on chocolate and cancer.
Myth #2 - Chocolate Protects the Heart
The industry web site says that a growing body of research indicates that ingredients in chocolate may reduce the risk of heart disease. It is true that chocolate contains stearic acid, a saturated fat that does not raise cholesterol levels. But chocolate contains other fats that do. When it comes to raising blood cholesterol, chocolate is comparable to lard. In addition, stearic acid may promote blood clots, which could lead to heart attacks or strokes.
Myth #3 - Eating Chocolate Doesnt Make You Fat
The chocolate industry says that there is no scientific evidence that chocolate consumption is associated with obesity. It adds that no single food causes obesity or weight gain. In fact, chocolate is one of many foods that contribute to obesity. Like any fatty and sugary foods, chocolates are calorie-dense. They pack a lot of calories into a small volume, which makes it easy to overeat.
Eating chocolate as a snack compounds the problem. If you eat chocolate between meals, when youre most hungry, it rapidly satisfies your hunger and that reinforces your craving for it, says obesity expert Barbara Rolls, of Pennsylvania State University. Her advice: Break the cycle by having a delicious piece of chocolate at the end of a meal, when youre already satisfied, and youll be less likely to overindulge.
You dont need to swear off chocolate entirely, says Liebman. "If your diet is high in vegetables, fruit, lean protein, and whole grains, a little chocolate is OK. But many Americans eat a steady diet of cheeseburgers, pizza, doughnuts, french fries, ice cream, and other fatty, fattening foods. They need chocolate like they need pats of butter to swallow between meals.
If you have a hankering for something chocolate, Liebman continued, try a small chocolate candy or a York Peppermint Pattie. One 1.5-ounce pattie provides 170 calories, but only two grams of saturated fat. Beware of the huge chocolate candies sold at movie theaters, which have 400 to 800 calories per box or bar.

When I played through Halo 3: ODST I saw the "squids" and killed them when I saw them, and got a counter (1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc) toward the achievement Killing things that are new and different is bad. Eventually, like in the scene when I'm in a banshee escorting the phantom through the city, when I would kill the squids, I wouldn't get that counter anymore, so I could never finish the achievement. On the other hand, I never saw ANY reference when I played toward getting the "good" version of the achievement. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this, or why I might have stopped "getting credit" for my squid kills, and what the difference between the good and bad versions of this achievement are?
Ok, so the way to get the "bad" version is:
To get the "good" version you have to only avoid killing these 10 (ones in the individual missions don't count) and save the one from the Brutes
Here is a map of the 10 engineer locations (and incidentally the audio logs)

Sports Gossip: The Monday Morning Couch Potatoes
Page 3 of 3
Water Cooler Topic #5:
Ron Artest, Producer
Indiana Pacer All-Star Ron Artest recorded two DNPs during the first week of the NBA season. After the Pacers' Wednesday night blowout loss to the Clippers, Artest explained the reason for his absence — and maintained a straight face while doing so. "I've been doing a little bit too much music, just needed the rest." He continued, "I've still got my album coming out November 23. After the album comes out, I'm going to make sure all of my time is focused on winning a championship." Artest is the producer for the female rap trio, Allure. Now that he's been suspended for the remainder of the season (for brawling with fans in the stands at Friday's game against the Pistons), Artest will have plenty of time to work on his music.
Adam's take: I hate it when sports commentators or writers say that this is only a game, and if Artest wants to take time off for another career, more power to him. Basketball is Ron Artest's job. He has a responsibility to the Indiana Pacers, the team that pays him. What would happen if you told your boss you were drained from a weekend poker tournament and you were going to skip work Monday? Artest will have ample time after his career is over to find the next K-Ci & JoJo.
Peter's take:: Head coach Rick Carlisle downplayed Artest's remarks, saying, "This isn't the Cuban missile crisis. It's not life or death, it's not about national security." He's right. But the thousands of fans that buy $80 tickets to see Artest play each night should be allowed to get their money's worth. Pacers management, who pays Artest millions of dollars to play basketball, has the right to be outraged. And yes, the myriad of basketball fantasy league owners out there who have Artest on their roster, like me, have the right to voice their displeasure with him. Cuban missile crisis, this is not. But we have to at least consider this in the same breath as this summer's "Rickygate." Ricky Williams left his team before the season began, knowing Miami would be worse off if he played without his heart or head fully into the game. But more importantly, the Dolphin running back retired before any football fantasy league drafts got underway. Artest wasn't as considerate.
Water Cooler Topic #6:
The Devil That Is Star Jones
Last week, Star Jones, co-host of ABC's The View, married banker Al Reynolds in a star-studded Park Avenue bash. Notables ranging from Spike Lee to Senator Hillary Clinton packed into St. Bartholomew's Church to watch Jones, 42, and Reynolds exchange vows. Patti LaBelle performed, and the wedding had its own website, StarAndAlsWedding.com.
Adam's take: Where are Al Reynolds' friends? How have none of them stepped in here and stopped this train wreck? Reynolds is a rich New York City banker, and somehow he ends up getting hitched to the mammoth Star Jones? I'm gonna go Chris "Mad Dog" Russo here, because this is the case of a whole string of people dropping the ball in a big spot. You have to think Reynolds had second thoughts, standing there at the altar, looking down the aisle and waiting, when suddenly his entire path of vision was blocked out by a water buffalo dressed in white. Good luck to you, Mr. Reynolds. You can forget about ever enjoying a football-filled Sunday for the rest of your life.
Peter's take: Star and Al may be the first couple ever to turn their wedding into a corporate luncheon. Most celebrity couples go to great lengths to avoid the press and paparazzi; Star Jones probably begged US Weekly to send someone. Check that website. Their wedding has a slogan! They trademarked, "Blending Two Hearts and Souls Into One." I guess "Moneybags McGee Marries a Grotesque Pig" was taken already.
Peter Schrager recently graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, GA. He freelances for several publications including ESPN.com's Page 3. Peter enjoys eating Wheat Thins, drinking Unsweetened Iced Tea, and watching VH1 Classic.
Adam Weinberg is a freelance writer and screenwriter, and a recent graduate of the University of Maryland. He was once thrown out of a NHL game for throwing chapstick on the ice.

Fans of "Amish Mafia" star, Esther Schmucker received a shock on August 16, 2014 when they checked out her Facebook page. She allegedly wrote, "My gorgeous husband" underneath a picture of a man she claims is her new husband. Although she does not say who the man is, almost everyone who posted in the comments section said that it is none other than, Imir Williams.
Imir is the man who beat Esther so severely that she was hospitalized and had to endure hours of cosmetic surgery to repair the damage. In a fit of rage, on Halloween night, 2013, Imir broke Esther's nose, fractured her cheekbone, and knocked out several of her teeth. Her roommate couldn't push him away from her. Then he stood guard over her bed so she could not call police for four days.
Out of 389 comments, several wondered if her Facebook page was hacked, and only a few people wished her well. A few more told her it was a sin for a white woman to marry a black man, but all the other commentators were worried about her safety or her mental state for marrying a man who almost killed her.
Fans watched the episode when she sat down with the cameras to reveal the damage done to her face. Her Facebook page was to be a link or lifeline to help other women who are in a similar abusive situation. But now her message to these women will be to take the abuser back into their lives.
Unfortunately, about two hours later, that post, picture and all the comments were quickly deleted from Facebook. The only proof that there was an announcement came from three other people who commented. Harley Rose posted the comment, "Her marriage announcement must have been the work of a hacker. I see that the picture and comments are gone."
WendynMartin O'Dea responded, " I saw the husband post and wondered what was up"
Harley Rose responded again, "I wonder if her page was hacked, or if she was getting too many negative comments that she decided to take it down herself? I do notice that she doesn't post as much as she did."
The last comment on her alleged wedding came from Mary Iannetta. She wrote, "There was more than enough hateful ugly people on that post,I'm not surprised it was taken down...."
Imir served almost two months in jail for what he did to her and the court ordered him to stay away and have no contact with her. However, after he was released from jail, reports surfaced that she had taken him back into her home. On January 31, 2014 and February 21, 2014, police responded to two separate domestic disturbance calls at Esther's Lancaster residence. Each time they went inside the home, they found Imir.
Imir was arrested again for breaking his parole. This time he was sentenced to serve three months in jail and, he was again ordered to have no contact with Esther. Judge Reinaker issued a warning to Esther as well. He said, "Courtroom Eight is not a set for the Discovery Channel. I am not interested in your ratings. You two have been nothing but a nuisance to law-enforcement. I'm telling you, Ms. Schmucker, if I could put you and Mr. Williams in Lancaster County Prison, I'd do it. You were the one who criticized the DA (Craig Stedman)."
While Imir was in jail the second time, he broke that court order over 400 times by calling Esther or appointing another inmate to call Esther for him. He was taken to court again for his actions.
Imir's reason for contacting Esther was because she was in a serious car accident. He said, "I didn't even find out about the accident until reading the newspaper. I've been sitting in jail and realized my freedom is important." Then he added, "I love her, your honor."
Apparently, the two must have found a way around the court order by getting married.
One Facebook poster, Christina Schultz-Gallego, wrote, "Kind of suspected something, with your hiatus and all. None of us is anyone to judge, but I will just say I hope he's been able to get help in turning himself, his temper, and his controlling nature around and appreciate you for the wonderful woman that you are with him. You don't deserve anything less than that. Wish you all the happiness in the world.
We are left with this question. Did Esther really marry him, or was her Facebook page hacked and someone is playing a cruel joke? We'll have to wait and see how this turns out. On August 17, 2014, I sent an email to Mr. Brett Hambright, staff writer for Lancaster Online. So far, he has not responded.
EnStars picked up the story, reporting that she has a picture on her private Instagram page which shows a man, who looks like Imir, kissing her on the cheek.

According to Monday's New York Daily News, a New Mexico man was arrested for allegedly killing his family's puppy with a screwdriver.
Torrance County deputies arrested 46-year-old Salvador Martinez, of Edgewood, on a charge of extreme animal cruelty and child abuse; Martinez admitted to deputies that he had stabbed the family's nine-month-old Chihuahua cross in the heart with a screwdriver.
Torrance County Sheriff Heath White told The Mountain View Telegraph:
We responded to a welfare check for a possible animal cruelty case,"
When we got there we discovered the male subject had taken the family dog and killed it in a gruesome manner and prepared it for dinner after searching on the Internet how to cook dog. The deputies found it in the fridge.
Martinez told the authorities that he intended to cook the pup, named "Onyx," and feed the dog to his family because he claimed that he was worried that they did not have enough to eat. The man's family was not on board with Martinez's twisted plan; his girlfriend told the authorities that they did have enough food and stated that the pup had been their pet.
Sheriff White stated:
"The family was distraught about their pet,"
"It hadn't been bought and raised to be eaten."
The authorities found food in the house and it has also been noted that the family receives government assistance for food, as well as food from area churches. Martinez secured the charge of child abuse because the pup was killed when the children were at home and aware of what was happening to their puppy.
Martinez is no stranger to the wrong side of the law...according to KRQE News, several years ago he was arrested for transporting a sizable amount of cocaine across the border.
