How the comic book format allowed Travis Beacham to expand on the 'Pacific Rim' universe
When Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim" crashes into theaters on July 12, you'll only be getting part of the story. The universe of the film was too big for one movie, you see. It inevitably spilled over the edges and left an excess of material without a home, but with so much to say.
Luckily for screenwriter Travis Beacham, that material wouldn't go homeless forever. It turned out Legendary Pictures, which financed and produced the film, wanted a comic book tie-in, and so the idea of a graphic novel was taking flight. But there weren't any specific ideas about what it should be. The immediate, unspoken assumption was to do an adaptation of the film, but very quickly, when Beacham was approached to write the graphic novel (something he'd never before attempted, by the way), he had a bright idea.
"I was like, 'Sure, I'd love to write it but, let's do something that's sort of additive as opposed to adaptive,'" he tells me. And so "Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero" started to take shape.
The 112-page book, currently on shelves, is a prequel to the upcoming film, filling in shades and information only alluded to via glancing blows on the screen. Following the exploits of a news reporter writing a bit of a puff piece on the shuttering of the Jaeger program, the graphic novel collects stories from individuals in the "Pacific Rim" universe recounting the brief history of disaster that has become a matter of course by the time the film begins. And one of the things it did was allow Beacham to salvage some of the elements that may have been workshopped out of the screenplay as the film project developed and give them a new purpose and life.
"Early on, we knew it should have a few episodes," he says. "Like it should have a sort of historical, episodic sort of thing happening in it. But we needed something to tie it all together. And there was no real framework story at first. Then I thought, 'Oh, we jettisoned that reporter thing from the first draft. I could just use that, sort of 'Citizen Kane'-style. She's going around interviewing people for this article that she's writing."
But mostly it was a way to build on the world and employ what Beacham calls the lingering "dark matter" of the story that never found an organic way into the screenplay. We learn about "K-Day," the day the first kaiju monster made landfall in San Francisco. We learn about Stacker Pentecost's Air Force roots and how seeing a boy playing with toy robots and monsters sparked the idea for the Jaeger program in a Dr. Jasper Schoenfeld. All of this was part of a larger mythology that Beacham had always hoped he could include in some way, peppering in the detail where he could like one of his favorite world-building authors, China Miéville.
"The graphic novel was just a perfect chance for it," he says. "And Guillermo was definitely on the same wavelength. I think that was probably something that he'd been picturing from the graphic novel the whole time. And there wasn't a lot of resistance to it. Nobody was like, 'No, no, no. This has to be an adaptation. We need people to see this as the movie that they already watched.'"
The format of writing a comic book took a little while to get used to, but it was ultimately an interesting way for Beacham to further explore the humanity of his story. When you're thinking about a movie script, there's a lot of consideration of movement and sound, the experience of events taking place before you. But it just doesn't work the same on the comic book page, he says, and that was a bit enlightening.
"It's funny because if you look at storyboards and then you look at comic book pages, you see they look really similar," Beacham says. "But a screenplay isn't written in such a way where you're describing a storyboard. And that's really different in the comic context because you literally are describing like, you know, 'here's what this panel shows' and 'here's what this panel shows.' And you're really trying to put a story together as a fuse of images as opposed to something with a sense of movement. The peculiarity of the format focused on the details and the intimacy of it, having this book that's in your hand as opposed to this giant screen that's in front of you."
He also felt it let him talk about character in a different way, allowing for more subtlety than a blockbuster movie might allow. "In movies, it's so paced and it's so deliberate that you have to be sort of blunt at times with what your character is saying and what they're feeling. In the comic book I feel like you can get away with being not quite as blunt, because somebody can sit there and look at the page for a really long time. And [when developing a graphic novel], you're really only talking to like a handful of people as opposed to a movie script, which is a letter to, you know, an army of people."
That love for the format extends to the book's supplementary pages as well, which feature a brief education on the process, from script to pencils, inks to colors and lettering.
Given the wealth of "dark matter" floating around from the "Pacific Rim" universe, waiting to be served up as greater context, Beacham says he would love to explore further adventures on the comic book page.
"I think they've only published graphic novels, so I don't know if that's Legendary's bent, you know, or if they're planning on doing single issues or anything," he says. "But I would totally be up for it. And I think that's sort of the way I look at the entire property. The movie is fantastic and I love it with all my heart and all my soul. But also I see it as sort of being one of many shadows cast by this thing, which is the 'Pacific Rim' universe. And coming to it as a fan of that sort of thing, as the kind of person who looks up stuff on like 'Game of Thrones' wikis and 'Aliens' wikis and 'Star Wars' stuff, I just always try to think in terms of the universe outside the movie. I think my sense of curiosity just goes there automatically."
More from Beacham on the "Pacific Rim" universe next week when we dig in on the movie itself.
"Pacific Rim" opens nationwide on July 12.

Mustangs to play team from Missouri for title
The Midwest Chargers will be the opponent for the Muskegon Mustangs in the Great Midwest Football League championship game on Sept. 14 in Chicago.
The Mustangs (11-2) advanced with a 42-34 win against the defending league and national champion Detroit Ravens.
The Chargers, based in St. Louis, edged the Stallions of Country Club Hills 15-12 in the other conference championship game.
Kickoff time for the title game has not been announced.
Players with Muskegon ties going into Wyoming sports hall
The Muskegon area connection to the University of Wyoming is back in the news.
Former Muskegon Catholic Central football coach Mike Corgan, who was on Bob Devaney's staff at Wyoming as an assistant coach, took a handful of local talent with him west in the late 1950s.
The 1959 team that went 9-1 and included Muskegon's Joe Dempsey, Jerry Wolski and Theodore Brownlee and White Cloud's Howard Guill, is being inducted into the University of Wyoming Sports Hall of Fame this weekend. A banquet is planned Friday and the team will be on hand for Saturday's home game against Idaho.
Dempsey, who played quarterback and handled the kicking duties, said the team remains close after all these years. In the 1959 season, Wyoming had wins against North Carolina State and Fresno State and its lone loss was to Air Force.
"It was a tremendous experience. We still have reunions every five years," said Dempsey, a graduate of Muskegon Catholic Central who now resides in Brookfield, Wis. "It's a real unusual story that a bunch of guys that played together in Wyoming have stayed so close. We're scattered from coast to coast."

Wildflower is published quarterly by the Wildflower Center. Its content is national in scope with articles about the conservation and use of native plants as well as news from the Wildflower Center. A subscription is provided to Wildflower Center members as a benefit of membership.
Letter from the Editor - Winter 2010
Wildflower has long advocated planting trees for the ecological benefits they provide, like helping improve air quality as well as conserving water and energy. Now it turns out that urban trees may even help fight crime.
Researchers with the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest and Southern Research Stations have published a new study suggesting that certain types of city trees may help to lower rates of property crime and violent crime.
A sample of 2,813 Portland single-family homes experiencing 394 property and 37 violent crimes between 2005 and 2007 were evaluated to explore the relationships among crime and more than two dozen variables, including the number and size of trees on a lot and the size of trees on surrounding areas. Canopy size of both street and yard trees and the number of trees growing on a lot were found to have the most effect on crime occurrence; large trees were associated with a reduction in crime, while numerous small trees were associated with an increase.
"We believe that large street trees can reduce crime by signaling to a potential criminal that a neighborhood is better cared for and, therefore, a criminal is more likely to be caught," says Geoffrey Donovan, research forester with the PNW Research Station who led the study. "Large yard trees also were associated with lower crime rates, most likely because they are less view-obstructing than smaller trees."
The latter actually were found to possibly increase crime by blocking views and providing cover for criminals – an effect that homeowners can mitigate by keeping smaller trees pruned and carefully choosing the location of new trees.
In the fall issue of Wildflower, we looked at some of America's most loved trees and the factors like disease that threaten to destroy them. In this issue of Wildflower, we encourage you to take advantage of winter rains and milder temperatures and plant a tree this season. (See "Tree's Company" on page 28 and a preview for the Center's annual Tree Talk, Winter Walk event on page 7.) You might sleep more soundly if you do.

Is money really worth the problems it brings? Are people with money truly happy? Does money bread power, which in hand breeds corruption? Those are the questions that ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money" tries to answer. The two season show ran on the network in the Primetime slot and took a harsh look at the reality that is the upper echelon of society. The focus is a rich family living and lying in New York City's trendy Upper East Side. The Family's personal lawyer; a do-gooder, who is constantly faced with moral decisions, finds himself stuck with the clan that he had tried, so desperately, to shake away from.
Nick George, the main focus of the show, was leading a morally-upstanding life as a public attorney when his father's mysterious death launched him back into a life he desperately tried to shake himself away from. George grew up around the Darling Family, an obscenely rich New York family. Nick's father, Dutch, served as the family's persona, on-call attorney up until his death. Upon Dutch's death the family request that Nick take over his post. In a decision that would change everything Nick accepts; partially to understand what happened to his father and partially to obtain the money to do good in the world.
Nick, however, gets more than he bargained for and is pulled back into the crazy, morally questionable and often downright corrupt world that the Darling's live in. Nick's family life, career and sanity are all questioned as he works his way through the immense legal troubles and quandaries that the Darling's are constantly finding themselves in.
As season one wraps and season two gets into full-swing the show begins to take a closer look at the mystery that surrounds the death of Nick's father. Dutch, served as a life-long lawyer for the Darling clan and Nick believes they may have something to do with it. While he continues to feel suspicious he can't help but be drawn in by the heir and heiresses of the Darling Fortune.
So, at the end of the day, do you think that dirty money is worth its weight in gold?

Phoenix Coming Into View
The Phoenix lander sent back new sharp color images from Mars late yesterday. Phoenix imaging scientists made a color mosaic of images taken by the lander's Surface Stereo Imager on landing day, May 25, and the first two full "sols," or martian days, after landing.
The panorama, now about one-third complete, shows a fish-eye perspective from the camera, a view from the lander itself all the way to the horizon. Phoenix adjusts its color vision with "Caltargets," calibrated color targets on disks mounted on the landing deck. Its color vision isn't quite like human color vision, but close.
"These images are very exciting to the science team," said the Surface Stereo Imager co-investigator Mark Lemmon of Texas A&M University. "We see the polygons we're looking for, and we're very excited to fill in the context with more site pan images that go beyond the workspace." Images to complete the panorama are planned today and tomorrow, Sols 3 and 4, Lemmon said.
"We appear to have landed where we have access to digging down a polygon trough the long way, digging across the trough, and digging into the center of a polygon. We've dedicated this polygon as the first national park system on Mars — a "keep out" zone until we figure out how best to use this natural martian resource," Lemmon said.
Phoenix will use its robotic arm to dig first in another area seen in the panorama, an area outside the preserved polygon.
Robotic arm manager Bob Bonitz of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., explained how the arm is to be unstowed today. "It's a series of seven moves, beginning with rotating the wrist to release the forearm from its launch restraint. Another series of moves releases the elbow from its launch restraints and moves the elbow from underneath the biobarrier."
The robotic arm is a critical part of the Phoenix Mars mission. It is needed to trench into the icy layers of northern polar Mars and deliver samples to instruments that will analyze what Mars is made of, what its water is like, and whether it is or has ever been a possible habitat for life.
Scientists leading NASA's Phoenix Mars mission from the University of Arizona in Tucson sent commands to unstow its robotic arm and take more images of its landing site early today.
"Phoenix is in perfect health," JPL's Barry Goldstein, Phoenix project manager, said Wednesday morning, May 28.
The robotic arm's first movement was delayed by one day when Tuesday's commands from Earth did not get all the way to the Phoenix lander on Mars. The commands went to NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as planned, but the orbiter's Electra UHF radio system for relaying commands to Phoenix temporarily shut off. Without new commands, the lander instead carried out a set of activity commands sent Monday as a backup. Images and other information from those activities were successfully relayed back to Earth by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning's uplink to Phoenix and evening downlink from Phoenix were planned with NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter as the relay. "We are using Odyssey as our primary link until we have a better understanding of what happened with Electra," Goldstein said.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Receives Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Samsung's premier tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1, looks like it will finally be receiving Android's newest OS upgrade Jelly Bean. The Galaxy Note 10.1, the big brother to the Galaxy Note smartphone, launched earlier this year with Ice Cream Sandwich. Samsung though had promised a Jelly Bean update and the Korean manufacturer has kept their word with an update to Android 4.1.1. News has spread from Germany where owners of the tablet are said to be receiving Jelly Bean as an OTA update, but there are no indications that the new software is available in other regions just yet.
The update comes with a build number of N8000XXBLJ9 and it weighs in at around 300MB. The update brigs with it various enhancements associated to Jelly Bean such as Google Now and Project Butter. All things considered it was a quick turnaround time for the slate's Android 4.1 upgrade. Now that the update has commenced, it should likely reach other regions over the next few weeks. If you have already seen it outside of Germany, be sure to let us know. There is a direct link to the firmware provided by our source, SamMobile, however, unfortunately none of this will work outside of Germany. Perhaps some developer will find a way to make this available to other regions before Samsung releases it elsewhere.

The online casino gambling opened new horizons for the gamblers and they started looking at various gambling things in a different way. The online gambling sites itself created a lot of lucrative opportunities which are fully exploited by the players gambling online. One such lucrative offer is the bonuses available at online casinos. There are different types of bonuses, with all having different structures and different benefits. One thing is sure about the bonuses that they are very attractive and appealing which definitely grabs the attention of the gamblers who are looking to play their favorite casino games online.
Why should gamblers take advantages of online casino bonuses?
The casino bonus has become one of the most integral part of the online casinos and almost all of their games. It is the only way through which they can easily attract the potential gamblers to sign up with a particular casino. It can either offer players some money to play with or it can give some extra credits for a particular casino game to play for free. All casino bonuses might not be for you. So, you need to shop well online on the basis of offers given by different casinos on their games. The best way you can exploit such offers is to find a particular bonus which is suitable according to your situation and needs in the game. There are some requirements which you need to meet before taking advantage of the offers such as free spins, free credits and free money to play a lot of games.
Why some players don't take bonuses?
The bonus sounds lucrative too, but still there are a number of players who don't get involved with such offers. It is usually because of the reason that they do not want to limit or bound themselves to the casino requirements. Rather, they want to play freely according to their own preferences and liking. If some player takes a bonus, then he has to meet a certain criteria to withdraw his winning money. It can be a big turn off and can distract the attention and priorities of the players. Some players do think that going for bonuses sometimes lead them to lose money in the long run. The casino sites do need to put these restrictions as otherwise gamblers would just go to different casinos in order to avail all the free opportunities which obviously is not the reason for which the casino is offering the bonus offers. A number of gamblers still don't find these offers lucrative and withdraw from taking these bonus offers in order to play freely.
Some of the pitfalls that are associated with many online casinos:
There are a number of pitfalls which are a bit of concern for many online casino players. The following are some of the pitfalls which you should refer to, before joining any online casino or taking any bonus offer:
- In a lot of casinos, the bonus system of even welcome type is restricted to be used only for a particular casino game.
- Many of the online casinos have a limit to utilize the bonus offers given by the casino.
- The gamblers in order to avail many bonus offers are required to play through or meet the minimum wagering requirements which are set by the online casino.
This kind of situation warns the users to clearly read and learn the requirements and conditions associated with the bonus offers.
The right bonus code when availing the bonuses:
Most of the online casinos require the gamblers to enter the bonus code into the given field in order to avail the bonus offer. The gamblers are required to be fully sure that they are entering the correct code against the correct offer. Most of the online casinos gives clear and simple instructions to avail such bonus offers easily.

Stepping Out: See the Skagit eagles
"Did you see that on the side of the road? I asked Woody. We were on State Route (S.R.) 20 between the towns of Marblemount and Rockport, where the highway parallels the Skagit River. It almost looked like an arm, or something, I said.It was a salmon, Woody replied.Must have gotten tired and tried to thumb a ride upstream, I said. Woody gave me a weird look. An eagle probably dropped it, he said.I knew that, I said.Sure you did.We had spotted at least ten of the huge birds on our trip to Newhalem. I use the word huge because the wing span of an adult bald eagle can be longer than the height of most NBA centers, supposedly some 7.5 feet. Up close and personal with one can be scary, too. The lucky hiker or climber who encounters an eagle face to face as it rides the winds along a ridge will know what I mean. Try looking into the soulless eyes of the critter if you ever get that close. Brrrrrrr. Shivers down the spine.That day the eagles were taking advantage of a salmon run on the Skagit. Spawning salmon make easy prey for the hungry birds, which are always ready to feed on the weak, dying, or dead. Some view eagles as a noble bird, but I think of them as little more than a glorified vulture or a high-falutin' crow. Eagles are pigs with wings; they're critters that will eat anything they see, quivering or not. Readers who would grow indignant at this suggestion have probably never seen an eagle pick at roadkill. I have. It's not an aesthetically pleasing sight. Nevertheless, plenty of people like to watch eagles, and so do I when they're soaring, diving, or perching in trees. And Woody and I spotted plenty of bird watchers, too, as we drove along the Skagit. Every now and then a car pulled over to the shoulder of the road, spilling occupants with binoculars in hand.Bird watchers can fill their eyes with sightings at this time of year. In fact, it's almost time for the Thirteenth Annual Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival. Activities take place in Concrete, Rockport, and Marblemount, during Feb. 5 and 6. Any visit upriver should probably include a stop at the Bald Eagle Interpretive Center in Rockport, open during weekends in January and February. Look for the center on Alfred Street, one block south of S.R. 20. Getting to Rockport is easy; just jump on S. R. 20, and follow it until you get to Rockport State Park. The town is just beyond, at the junction with S.R. 530. On a clear winter day, a side excursion down 530 to Darrington and back to I-5 will give drivers more to see. Besides more eagle viewing along the Sauk River, look for the snowy peaks near Darrington. The view of Whitehorse Mountain, rising sharply against the sky just south of Darrington, will alone be worth the looping trip.Looking for more information before making a commitment? Try the Internet at www.skagiteagle.org, or e-mail email@example.com. It is requested that the word eagle be included in the subject field.Those without Internet access can mail their questions to Eagle Festival, PO Box 671, Concrete, WA 98237, or crank up the phone and ask the operator to connect them with (360)853-7009. If you come, you might also see me there, binoculars in hand. But I won't be watching the eagles I'll be trying to spot those fish thumbing their way up the highway."

This upcoming football season is sure to be a good one. It is sure to be loaded with solid teams, very good coaching, fresh and talented new comers, and the returning studs who will continue to shine.
Last season the college football world was an exciting one to say the least, to watch. From the heroic Texas-Texas Tech game, to the exciting BYU-Washington finish.
Amazing performances from many top players such as Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, and Tim Tebow, will stick out for years to come.
The good thing about the 2009 season, not only will all three of those guys return back to the college game, but so will many other talented kids.
This year's class could be a special one. From the loaded quarterbacks class, to a very solid looking defensive presence from the Big 10 to the SEC.
It's sure shaping out to be one heck of a year for college football and it's beloved fans.
Here is my list of the top five players to watch in 2009. There will be far more than just five studs to look for this season, but these five you should pay extra attention to.

The judge who presided over Sharpe James' corruption trial today cast skepticism on the former Newark mayor's request to overturn the conviction, but said he would not announce his ruling until later this month.
After a two-hour hearing in Newark, U.S. District Judge William Martini left intact his schedule to sentence James on July 29 for fraud and conspiracy. He said that could change if he granted the motions for a new trial or to overturn the verdict, but reminded defense attorneys that they faced an uphill battle.
They were essentially asking the judge to acknowledge flaws in how he managed the five-week trial or to discount the juror's verdict.
"It's very hard - the standards" for such rulings, he told them. "You understand that."

ASBURY PARK — The high Asbury Park sun was shining on the Boardwalk, on beachgoers, on kids running through sprinklers. But inside the Stone Pony in mid-afternoon today, it was as dark as it gets on a show night — and nearly as crowded, too. At this congregation, the hymns were by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and the parishioners were there to pay their respects to a fallen hero.
"Once I heard about it, I had to come." said K.C. Ryan, a middle-aged woman who was smiling to keep from crying. "I'm here for my children, who'll never get to see Clarence Clemons play with Bruce Springsteen. I'm here for myself, since Clarence Clemons has probably been heard in my house more than any of my friends have. And I'm here for the members of the E Street Band, who must be grieving right now."
Ryan, who drove from New Haven, Conn., was one of hundreds of fans who dropped what they were doing on a glorious Father's Day to stand once more at the foot of the Pony stage and listen, through the club's sound system, to recordings of Clemons blowing his saxophone. Many had just gotten the news of Clemons' death.
"I can't believe he's gone," said Marie Scacco of Trenton. "Onstage, he seemed unstoppable — the biggest man you've ever seen. The last I'd heard, he was doing better. They said he might have turned the corner."
She'd made the pilgrimage for comfort, for the memories and to be surrounded by those who loved Clemons as much as she did. The legendary Asbury Park venue, so closely associated with the E Street Band, opened its doors to the public at noon — although Clemons fans had begun congregating outside the landmark earlier than that. Outside the entrance, mourners erected a makeshift shrine, leaving flowers and chalk drawings in front of a picture of Clemons. On the stage inside — lit up as if a show was about to begin — were six framed photographs of the saxophonist in action. It was a modest and solemn tribute to a musician who was rarely either.
For Gary Mottola, who stood at the club's door and greeted people, Clemons' significance exceeded that of a typical favorite-son musician. Mottola, the president of Madison Marquette — the company that has rebuilt many of the stores along the Boardwalk and currently owns the Pony — sees Clemons and his bandmates as testament to Asbury Park's indestructible glory.
"Asbury Park has been through some tough times," he said. "Before the revival of the last four or five years, it was music that really kept Asbury Park alive.
"The E Street Band is the soul of Asbury Park, and Clarence Clemons was the soul of the E Street Band."
On the club's floor, fans stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the stage as if a concert was happening. And in a way it was — if only in the imaginations of those who had seen Clemons at the Pony, or elsewhere, or just wished they had. When a live recording of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out" came over the speakers, fans reacted as if the saxophonist was about to step out of the shadows and take a solo. As Springsteen introduced the band, anticipation began to build. When he reached Clemons (last, as always), they cheered the memory of a great musician, introduced by a man who wasn't there. At that moment, it was possible to believe that the air inside the Pony was thick with ghosts.
Later, during the sonorous, honey-soaked held notes of the saxophone solo to "Jungleland" — perhaps Clemons' crowning achievement — fans closed their eyes and swayed. A few raised their arms and waved them slowly, as if they were watching a show under the balmy skies beyond the club door.
"I believe this was Clarence's favorite song," said Bob Corson of Millville, who had come to the Pony with his wife Alison to say goodbye.
The couple had come to Long Branch for a wedding. When they heard about Clemons' death, they made a detour to Asbury Park. Beginning in 1978, Alison Corson had seen the E Street Band 75 times. Her husband, while not quite as dedicated, was still moved to hear the sturdy tone of Clemons' titanic solo once more.
"It's appropriate," he said, "that this is Father's Day. He really was a father figure."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Christo Landry said the day before the Fifth Third River Bank Run that he needed to cover the late surges to achieve his goal of winning or finishing as the top American.
He did that Saturday, though he wishes he did it with a second to spare.
The Ann Arbor resident finished second overall with a time that was ruled a tie with the U.S. American record. He finished in one hour, 14 minutes and 17.74 seconds. By U.S. national championship rules, River Bank Run officials said his time was rounded up to 1:14:18.
That tied the U.S. mark set by Mohamed Trafeh at last year's race.
"But it's still a record," Landry repeated while meeting with the media afterward.
That rounding may have given him a share of the record, but another second faster would have given him the full share of the $5,000 prize for setting a record in the race. Instead he received half of it, in addition to $7,000 as the top American.
"I had been looking at the splits earlier, so I knew how close I was to breaking that American record," said the 27-year-old Landry, who improved his time from last year by 53 seconds. That came after he improved his 2013 time by 47 seconds from 2012.
The race was won by Samson Gebreyohannes Gezahai, a 22-year-old from of Eritrea. He pulled away from Landry and two others in the final mile to win in 1:14:07, which, in another clock coincidence, was the same time Julius Keter won in last year. Likewise, his time was rounded up to an official finish of 1:14:08
Landry, who was the third American last year and second American and third overall in 2012, was able to stay with a pack that dwindled from five to four in the final three miles as Julius Koepke fell off the pace.
He traded leads with Gebreyohannes Gezahai, Jordan Chipangama, of Zambia, and Shandrack Biwott of the U.S. leading into the final two miles. Then as they twisted through John Ball Park, Landry distanced himself from his American rival before giving way in the final mile to Gebreyohannes Gezahai.
"They were throwing in surges left and right," Landry said. "We'd run 4:45, 4:47 for a mile, but half of that would be a 4:30 pace, so I just tried to weather the surges and go a little more evenly so I didn't have to throttle back and forth so much."
It makes for a pretty good season so far. Landry was top American at the 42nd Annual Credit Union Cherry Blossom race in Washington, D.C. on April 14, and was fourth at the 37th annual Gate River Run in Jacksonville, Fla. a month earlier. He also takes over at the top of the 2014 USA Running Circuit standings.
"I can get used to this," he said of his first two American victories.
A break-away pack of six emerged within the first two miles, and included last year's winner in Keter along with Chris Solinski, who is a standout middle distance runner in his first 25K. He faded in the fourth mile, about the time Keter also slipped back.
Gebreyohannes Gezahai, who has a best of 1:00:13 in the half marathon and last month was eighth in the World Half Marathon Championships, used a strong kick to win.
"The pace was very fast," he said. "From 5 to 15 kilometer, it was very fast. I was happy I could hold on and win it."
Biwott finished third in 1:14:30 and Chipangama was fourth in 1:14:32.
Overall, there were 6,717 runners for the 25K, a slight increase from 6,614 in 2013.

GRAND HAVEN, MI – The search for a missing boater from Walker is now a recovery effort, an Ottawa County Sheriff's Office official said.
The boater, a 47-year-old man, has been missing since about 4 p.m. after jumping into Lake Michigan from a 37-foot Sea Ray. The hours that have elapsed since then make the effort to find the man a recovery, not a search and rescue, the official said.
The Ottawa County Dive Team and U.S. Coast Guard Grand Haven are part of the recovery effort.
The man was boating with friends and they were on their way from Muskegon to Grand Haven when the incident occurred. The boat was approximately three-quarters of a mile off shore when he jumped into the water, Ottawa County Sheriff's Sgt. John Wolffis said earlier.
The dive teams are using sonar. The divers will continue to try to recover the man until dark, Wolffis said earlier.
They are searching from the point where the boat was when the operator pushed the "man overboard" button. Passengers on the boat also made a mayday call to the Coast Guard, which responded within 15 minutes, Wolffis said earlier.
Before the man went underwater, boat passengers attempted to get lines and boat cushions to him, but they were unsuccessful, the sheriff's official said.
Wolffis said that the point where the man went under is about 47 feet deep and 40 degrees at the bottom, which limits the time the divers can stay at the bottom.
The man did not have a floatation device with him. It is unknown at this time if alcohol was a factor, the sheriff's official said.
The man's name is expected to be released later this evening after his family is notified.
MLive/Muskegon Chronicle will continue to track this story.

As many of you know, a feature-length documentary is underway with the working title of "December's Boudoir". It is to be an exploration and celebration of the musical genius of Laura Nyro.
First and foremost, this project is blessed to have Maria Florio as its producer, and I am thrilled to be co-producer. Maria is an extraordinary filmmaker, someone who has directed and produced numerous films that are at once stunning visually and musically, and that strive to capture the essence of her subjects. Maria also, and this is the greatest blessing of all, is a woman of the highest integrity. She approaches her work with an enormous heart, with compassion and care. Our vision for this film is that it be a work of art, one that will take the many who didn't actually know Laura herself, into her musical world.
You may find out more about Maria and her work at this site www.earthworksfilms.com And to get a better idea of the kind of work she creates, I'd like to suggest two films: "Broken Rainbow", which is about to be re-released, and for whom Laura wrote and performed the title song; and "Tibet, Cry of the Snow Lion". Both are gifts to the viewer.
We are at the stage of collecting all available footage of Laura---there isn't much, as you may know. Over these years, there were a couple of fans who wrote that they have some footage available. Even if it is "bootlegged", that won't be an issue. This is the time, if you would be so kind, to share it. Finally, there is a project underway where your footage could be put to very good use. We would be most grateful to have whatever is out there. Please contact this site if you have a gem somewhere.
And, over the next few weeks, I will be looking for the many of you who have written beautiful, intelligent and powerful comments. I will be seeking your written permission that your words may be used in "December's Boudoir". Of course, appropriate credit will be given.
The comments that you have made throughout the years, will be an extraordinary way to define just who Laura was, what her music has meant to the world. I honestly cannot think of a better way to go after the essence that was hers other than through your many voices.
Vis a vis the above, I am so happy to also tell you that Maria and I have been fortunate to attain legal advise from two generous souls. Howard Siegel, Laura's forever music publishing attorney and friend (this speaks volumes about him, doesn't it?) is most kind to assist us with the project regarding all things musical. And Maria has the hottest documentary attorney and friend, Michael Donaldson, on board to help in his areas of expertise. We cannot thank both of them enough and promise to use them judiciously but completely. For the first time in my life, I believe in legal Angels.
And finally, Maria has enticed a most creative and talented musical director to work on "December's Boudoir": Jimmie Haskell. I remember his good work for Laura's Memorial Concert in October of 1997, as well as his stellar musical production on "New York Tendaberry", and I know that he has the sensitivity and skill to weave the songs and the images together perfectly, seamlessly.
So, as you can see, we've progressed some distance with far more yet to come. I will keep you apprised of developments as time goes by, and I say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who have offered encouragement in the past and who will assist in many ways in the future. (I'll be emailing you for those permissions!)

The Image is from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
It is a Peter Sellers movie from the 1960s.
The US sends planes to bomb Russia and can't call them back and it supposedly sets off a doomsday device. Slim Pickens is shown riding an H-bomb that has just been released from the plane (It was hung and wouldn't drop, so he sat on it to fix the mechanism, and when it released, he was on it).

A release from Portland State athletics:
For the second year in a row, Portland State will play 12 games as it releases its 2014 football schedule. The Vikings will play five games at home and seven on the road in 2014 featuring two Pac-12 opponents and a Friday night season finale at home.
The Viking football program has also announced the date of its annual spring game, May 18. Details of the Spring Game will be released in the coming days.
PSU plays two Pac-12 teams in the same season for only the third time in its history as the Vikings face Oregon State and Washington State in the first three weeks of the non-conference schedule. It marks the fifth time in PSU's history it has played against at least two FBS level programs in the same season (the Vikings played three in 2006).
Other highlights to the 2014 schedule include match-ups with a pair of FCS playoff teams. The Vikings host first-round participant Northern Arizona on Oct. 18 and national semifinalist Eastern Washington in a Dam Cup game on Friday night, Nov. 21.
PSU comes off a 6-6 season in 2013. The Vikings were 3-5 in Big Sky Conference play. Head Coach Nigel Burton begins his fifth season at the helm of the program (18-27 career record). Portland State has 49 returning letterwinners and 15 returning starters.
Portland State will open the season with a trip to Corvallis on Aug. 30. It marks the fourth meeting in history between PSU and OSU. The Beavers won the last matchup in 2009, 34-7, in Corvallis, as well as a 41-14 decision in 2005. OSU beat the Vikings, 51-14, in 1983 in their only meeting ever in the city of Roses at Civic Stadium (now Providence Park).
Oregon State was 7-6 in 2013, including winning the Hawai'i Bowl over Boise State, 38-23.
PSU returns to Portland for its home opener on Sept. 6 against NCAA Division II Western Oregon. The most recent meeting between the schools was a 31-14 PSU win in 2008. Western Oregon, located in Monmouth, OR, was 7-4 in 2013.
The Vikings will meet Washington State for only the second time in history on Sept. 13 in Pullman, WA. WSU beat PSU, 48-9, in the Palouse in 2008.
Washington State was 6-7 in 2013, losing the New Mexico Bowl to Colorado State, 48-45.
Portland State's final non-conference game and first FCS opponent will be Cal Poly as the Vikings travel to San Luis Obispo on Sept. 20. Although the Mustangs are members of the Big Sky Conference, the game will not count in the league standings.
Like the Vikings, Cal Poly was also 6-6 in 2013, going 5-3 in Big Sky Conference games. The Mustangs, ranked 18th in the nation at the time, beat the Vikings, 38-34, in come-from-behind fashion last Sept. 26. That game was the league opener for both teams. The all-time series is tied 10-10.
Portland State's Big Sky opener comes at home against UC Davis on Oct. 4. PSU beat the Aggies, 41-10, in 2013 in Davis. PSU leads the all-time series, 9-4, and has won the last three meetings. UCD went 5-7 overall in 2013, 5-3 in Big Sky games.
PSU travels to North Dakota on Oct. 11. UND has a new head coach in Bubba Schweigert after a 3-8 season in 2013. UND was 2-6 in league games including a 14-10 loss at PSU. The all-time series between the schools is tied 2-2.
After missing Northern Arizona on its 2013 schedule, the Vikings will host the Lumberjacks on Oct. 18. NAU was 9-3 last season, going 7-1 in Big Sky play. The 'Jacks lost to South Dakota State, 26-7, in the first round of the FCS playoffs.
The Lumberjacks won the last game with Portland State, 24-10, in Flagstaff two seasons ago, and have won five of the last six match-ups. NAU leads the all-time series with the Vikings, 15-5.
PSU travels to Weber State on Oct. 25. The WIldcats also have a new head coach in Jay Hill. WSU was 2-10 last season, 1-7 in the Big Sky, and lost at Portland State, 45-24. The Wildcats had won the five previous meetings and hold an all-time series advantage of 20-13 (10-7 in Big Sky games).
Idaho State (3-9, 1-7) comes to Portland for a Nov. 1 battle with the Vikings. Portland State has owned the series in recent years, winning the last four games, including last year's 38-31 decision in Pocatello. ISU leads the all-time series, 23-15-1, but PSU holds a 10-8 lead in Big Sky meetings. It will be the annual Turkey Bowl game with PSU athletics giving away free turkeys to everyone who purchases a ticket.
Portland State goes to Bozeman for a game with Montana State on Nov. 8. The Vikings and Bobcats did not meet in 2013. MSU comes off a 7-5 season, 5-3 in the Big Sky. The Bobcats have an 18-5 series lead, 11-6 in Big Sky games. MSU has won the last seven games in the series, including a 65-30 rout over the Vikings in 2012 in Bozeman.
The Vikings' last road game will be a Nov. 15 date at Sacramento State (5-7, 4-4). The Hornets nipped the Vikings, 43-42, in a thriller in 2013, scoring a touchdown in the final minute to take the win. Portland State maintains a 22-10 all-time series lead and has won 12 of 17 meetings in Big Sky Conference games.
The regular season finale will be a Dam Cup meeting against Big Sky Conference defending champion Eastern Washington on Nov. 21. The game will be played on a Friday night.
The Eagles have won four of the last five games in the series with the Vikings. In 2013, EWU scored with 31 seconds remaining to win, 43-42. Tied 21-21 going into the fourth quarter, the teams exchanged six touchdowns, including four in the last six minutes. Third-ranked Eastern Washington advanced to the FCS playoffs with a perfect 8-0 Big Sky record. The Eagles beat South Dakota State and Jacksonville State before losing to Towson in the national semifinals and completing the year at 12-3.
Among Big Sky Conference schools, Portland State will not face Montana, Northern Colorado and Southern Utah in 2014. The game with Cal Poly will be a non-conference contest.
The 2014 NCAA I FCS playoffs begin on Nov. 29 with the first round. The second round is Dec. 6 with quarterfinals on Dec. 12 and 13. The semifinals are Dec. 19 and 20. The national championship takes place Jan. 3 in Frisco, TX.
Game times, television and radio information, as well as game-day promotions, will be released at a later date.

FRANKLIN TWP. — Delsea Education Association members voted this week to nix the negotiation team that had represented the regional school district's teacher and support staff through two years of bargaining talks.
Union officials, including DEA President Christine Onorato, have also stepped down, according to school officials.
An email to the union's membership Friday indicated that the vote resulted in the removal of the current negotiating team, which includes the association's president, vice presidents and several additional teachers.
In addition to the vote, most of the DEA leadership resigned from their posts, effective immediately.
Among the resignations is Onorato, who also served on the negotiating team. She did return the Times request for comment Friday.
Other negotiating team resignations include Denise Arizzi, the union's vice president representing the middle school; Tina Dare, the high school vice president; recording secretary Beverly Cunliffe; and David Harrington, who represents the custodial staff.
Fran Schmidt, a secretary at Delsea Regional High School who did not step down from a union officer post, will become the de facto president, according to school officials.
It is unclear how the negotiating team and leadership changes could impact the bargaining process which began in 2010. Superintendent Piera Gravenor said the district cannot speculate the effect of the leadership and bargaining team changes on negotiations.
"My hope is that we can move forward," she said.
Representatives with the New Jersey Education Association could not be reached for comment.
Teachers and support staff have been working with the 2009-2010 contract since talks began two years ago.
Last month, a small group of union members assembled a Valentine's Day picket line at the private home of Delsea Regional Board of Education President Mario Christina to express the association's discontent with the course of bargaining talks.
The process is now in the fact-finding stage of negotiations, where a Public Employment Relations Commission-appointed fact-finder reviews the facts of the matter and issues a third-party unbiased recommendation.
Earlier this month, DEA members voted to accept the fact-finding report "sight unseen" in hopes of resolving the bargaining crisis. Despite the association's urging of the school district to make the same move, the board of education reported that it would not blindly accept the yet-to-be released report.

Students at the University of Nebraska Omaha who attended a watch party Wednesday night offered their take on the presidential debate.
The university created a special Twitter feed to allow students to comment on the debate and discuss the issues with one another.
It was a packed house at the watch party hosted by the School of Communications and Office of Student Affairs, with nearly 500 students attending.
The students had strong opinions about what they heard and what they didn't.
"From what I've seen, it's more of Romney dodging questions and not giving thorough answers," student Allyson Jurek said. "(He) says he has a lot of plans for the future, and I haven't heard any specifics, and that's what I was really looking for from him."
"I think their stance on Medicare is interesting. The voucher systems I would like to hear them talk about that cause. I think Medicare does need to change some," student Jacob Schierer said.
"So far, I would almost call it comical just because it seems like they keep interrupting each other before they can get their points across. That being said, what their talking about are big issues everyone seems to be worried about," student Joseph Adams said.
A professor with the School of Communications said the watch party had twice the attendance of the one in 2008. He said a lot of that is likely because of social media boosting interest among young voters.

Upon returning home, Ayars did not know what to expect, but he discovered more than just debris and drift wood from the river on his property.
When he checked his crawl space in his home on Bay Street Tuesday, all he found was water — roughly six feet of it.
"We knew it was going to be bad but not this bad," he said. "I was pleased there wasn't water in the house but as soon as I opened the door to the crawl space, I saw all the water."
Ayars added that his house was still intact but the damage from Hurricane Sandy in his basement included the loss of his electric box, heater and oil tank.
While the basement was being emptied of water on Tuesday, there was still concern of future flooding from the high tide later that afternoon. Ayars' home is located only a few blocks from the river bulk heads.
"I'm already pumping out all the water, I don't want to have to do it again," Ayars said, adding he started the process at 7 a.m.
Ayars story and circumstances were not unique to him.
Just around the corner, resident Mark Pasternak was pumping out water from his home at the intersection of South Broad Street and West Maple Avenue Tuesday afternoon.
Pasternak discovered about five-and-a-half feet of water in his basement at 2:30 a.m.
"I'm just trying to pump it all out," he said, adding he was also worried about further possible flooding from the high tide.
Also affected by flooding from Hurricane Sandy was Penns Grove-Carneys Point Library and Penns Grove Apartments. Water flooded the streets around these two properties the day after the hurricane made landfall in New Jersey.
Down in the Penn Beach section of Pennsville Township, the effects of Hurricane Sandy could be seen as well. The sky was gray and piles of leaves and branches were seen sporadically on lawns on Tuesday.
Cars were coming and going throughout the late morning and parking in lots just in front of the Delaware River. Residents said they were checking in on the tide.
"We have a little flooding in our backyard but nothing bad. My house is okay. I came down and saw the tide and I'm a little concerned," Penn Beach resident Brandy Kauffman said.
Kauffman sat, looking at the river as it got higher and closer to the bulk heads and said it was just a matter of waiting.
"I think at this point there's nothing anyone can do. Whatever happens, happens," she said.
Throughout the township, several locations closest to the river suffered from flooding.
From the intersection of Harvard Road and Delaware Drive to the intersection of Kansas Road and Delaware Drive, yards were flooded, some up to the steps and porch of the homes, making it impossible for vehicles to drive through.
Sandbags could be seen in front of homes, as well.
"Some people came back to their houses thinking it was over. Most are either out of the township or buckled down," Pennsville Police Lt. Allen Cummings said Tuesday.
Several police officers were seen driving through the flooded area to monitor the high tide and possible flood surge.
Riviera Drive from Sanford Road to Industrial Park Road was also barricaded due to flooding. Delaware Drive took one of the biggest hits from the storm, according to Cummings.
Andrew Schmid, who lives on Stanford Road, was also down checking the tide. Schmid said he was prepared and had bags and a generator.
In case of further flooding from the high tide, Schmid wrapped plastic wrap around his porch.
Although Pennsville was hit with some deep flooding, there were no mandatory evacuations.
Residents Jim and Jean Johnston were sitting in a truck along Riviera Drive with friends Doug and Donna Cooper, assessing the damage to Pennsville on Tuesday.
Jean Johnston said during the storm Monday, she witnessed the violent river.
"It was the worst I've seen. Waves were crashing over," she said.
Allen March, from Penn Beach, evacuated Monday night with his two kids and said it is important to just get out if necessary and not wait, even if it is hard to leave a home.
For resident Josh Melita, it was also just a waiting game.
"We got sandbags and pumps running but we are just having to wait to see what it does (the tide)," Melita said.
He added that flood waters were only six inches away from entering his house.
Overnight, local municipal officials in Elsinboro, Penns Grove, and Carneys Point were forced to conduct some rescue of residents in flooded areas.
Buses were sent to Elsinboro and Carneys Point overnight to assist transporting evacuated stranded people to shelters but there were no citizen in need of transportation, according to county officials.
No other major flooding from high tide was reported for Pennsville Township or Penns Grove aside from some isolated flooding.
Other townships in the county, such as Elsinboro and Lower Alloways Creek, had some flooding after the storm, officials said.
Hancocks Bridge Road was closed for about an hour Tuesday due to high tides and Sinnickson Landing Road, in Elsinboro Township, will remain shut down.
