Make that 23 cites and 17 states for Allegiant.
South Bend to LAS service starts Aug. 5. Flights operate Monday and Friday.
|Quoting Misbeehavin (Reply 2):
Ha ha! From Catholic Central to Sin City! I love it!
|Quoting CIDflyer (Reply 5):
lthough I really would have thought maybe Fort Wayne would have got the service over SBN since SBN is closer to the Chicago area.
|Quoting JetBlue (Reply 3):
AC had plans for YYZ-SBN? Wow, that's pretty interesting.
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 6):
SBN is a nice terminal, but the Studebaker shoved in the middle of the ticketing counters to replace the losses of US and ATA looks kinda tacky. When I went to college in VPZ I used to love the US ERJ 145's direct to PIT. And how can you beat the fact that the South Shore train pulls right up to the terminal?
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 6):
Notre Dame aside, Northern Indiana is VERY Lutheran. Just look down the road at Valparaiso, the Notre Dame for Lutherans lol. The fact that they're going to be running people to Vegas though seems a tiny tiny bit risky... with all the casino boats floating up on Lake Michigan right in SBN's backyard.
|Quoting Misbeehavin (Reply 7):
LOL! Is that what they call Valparaiso? I went to college at ND and never heard Valpi called that!
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 8):
Hahaha... I wouldn't say "They." It's what I, a Catholic stuck in Valpo, called it. Now we just prefer to call ourselves the better volleyball team since we can't do better than come up just short against them in basketball.
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 8):
How could SBN have had YYZ flights though... that's not an "International" Airport?
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 8):
DL should be making money on these routes... yes I know "Full planes dont = full profits" but my tix cost nearly $400, bought 6 weeks in advance... so they should be able to make some money doing that.
|Quoting CIDflyer (Reply 5):
Although I really would have thought maybe Fort Wayne
|Quoting Ouboy79 (Reply 12):
Any ideas if they may want to give TOL a whirl?
|Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 13):
Guess it doesn't matter to me, I'm graduated and living 700 miles away and my girlfriend graduated and went to that "other" school down in LAF for her MS, so my SBN days are over.
|Quoting CIDflyer (Reply 5):
Anyone venture to guess where the next city could be to LAS? Evansville, IN, Duluth, MN, or Rochester, MN all seem like they would fit the bill...
|Quoting ATCRick (Reply 14):
Thats one I haven't heard about. Not even any rumors. Besides, I can't do TOL until I start the SFB-CID service that I promised Cidflyer, and the SFB-CRW service that I promised Kcrwflyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|Quoting ATCRick (Reply 20):
I am very dissapointed on the MSN run
|Quoting TedEx (Reply 18):
According to faremeasure.com, LAS is the #3 destination from SBN at 76 pax per day with an average fare of $151.23. I think it makes sense, hopefully they'll do well.
|Quoting Iowaman (Reply 22):

Diaz notches pair of hits in Fall League win
Brewers No. 8's bat speed helps him connect against flamethrower
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Isan Diaz has faced and overcome multiple challenges this year. Coming off an MVP season in the Rookie-level Pioneer League, he switched organizations shortly before he was set to report to Spring Training, going from the D-backs to the Brewers in a trade for Jean Segura. He struggled to stay above the Mendoza Line in his first two months in the low Class A Midwest League before rallying to the lead the circuit with 20 homers as a 20-year-old.
So facing perhaps the hardest-throwing pitcher he's ever faced Friday night wasn't going to faze Diaz. Squaring off against Surprise Saguaros right-hander Michael Kopech (Red Sox's No. 5), Diaz lined a 98-mph fastball for an opposite-field single to left field in the first inning and flared a 99-mph heater to center that he hustled into a double in the third. The Brewers' No. 8 prospect came around to score after the latter hit, the first run for the Salt River Rafters in an eventual 3-2 Arizona Fall League victory.

Roommate Wanted #2 - NakedSword
Models: Cam Christou, Leo Forte and Luke Harding
Studio: Naked Sword
Want to move into this hip crashpad? Before you sign the lease here, you have to leave a deposit. In the second episode of NakedSword's Roommate Wanted, Cam is looking for a shared apartment, but when sexy Luke opens the door, he sees that the floors aren't going to be the only hardwood. The house has more men than it does bedrooms, Luke tells him, and the communal living arrangements extend way beyond the chore wheel. It's a sharing economy based on sex, and lean-and-tatted Cam shows he's more than happy to contribute. The initiation starts out in the hallway, and before long the two are joined by Leo, who breaks in his new roommate with his fat dick. Luke gets in on the action as well, first riding Leo and then moving into Cam's back bedroom. The three collapse in a pile of sweat and sex. And just think — the other roommates aren't even home yet!

Earlier today, producer/enemy of quality Neal Moritz confirmed what anyone with a brain and cursory knowledge of the box office charts of early 2011 was aware of: a sequel to "Green Hornet," his Michel Gondry-directed, Seth Rogen-led superhero movie of last January, isn't happening any time soon. The film wasn't a giant flop -- it made a good-but-not-great $98 million domestically, part of a total $227 million worldwide haul. Not a bad number, but considering the movie cost $120 million plus whatever they poured into the extensive marketing campaign, the profit margin was likely razor thin.
But that being said, had it gone forward, "Green Hornet" wouldn't have been the first film deemed a disappointment to end up getting a sequel. Sometimes it's a face-saving move (as when Disney loudly announced development on a "Tron: Legacy" sequel, hiring a writer last summer, despite the film underwhelming financially), sometimes it's a lack of imagination, »

'Fantastic Beasts' Featurette Shines a Light on Ilvermorny, the American Hogwarts
Posted on Tuesday, June 28th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
We've still got months until Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them expands the wizarding world of Harry Potter on the big screen. The spin-off that Warner Bros. hopes will be the start of a new franchise follows Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, an expert on magical creatures who finds himself in New York City. The film will give us our first look at what the world of magic is like in North America, and that includes an American school for learning witchcraft and wizardry.
A new Fantastic Beasts featurette shines a light on Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, located on the highest peak of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts. The video uses some stylish animation to tell a very brief story of how the school was founded, which includes a young Irish girl named Isolt Sayre and her aunt Gormlaith Gaunt. (That last name might ring a bell for Harry Potter fans.) Watch the video after the jump. Read More »

The midfielder converted a pair penalty kicks as PSG moved within four points of Marseille.
Two Lucas Moura penalties helped Paris Saint-Germain secure a 3-0 win over Bordeaux to move within four points of Ligue 1 leader Marseille.
Third-place Bordeaux produced a resolute display for much of the first half at Parc des Princes on Saturday, but PSG ultimately came out on top in a match that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
The first to be dismissed was PSG defender Gregory van der Wiel in the 28th minute, with the Netherlands international earning his first red card for the club somewhat harshly for a late challenge on Wahbi Khazri.
Bordeaux was then reduced to 10 men nine minutes later, as Andre Biyogo Poko was sent off for a reckless tackle on Marco Verratti and that seemed to spark the hosts into life.
Lucas got the breakthrough with his first spot kick just before the break after good work by Verratti and the Brazilian doubled his tally from 12 yards early in the second half.
Second-half substitute Ezequiel Lavezzi added a third late on, as PSG continued its unbeaten start to the season and moved four points behind first-place Marseille, which faces the tough task of heading to Lyon on Sunday.
PSG coach Laurent Blanc entrusted 21-year-old Jean-Christophe Bahebeck with filling the void left by the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic and suspended Edinson Cavani in attack.
And although the forward looked lively, PSG failed to penetrate the Bordeaux defence during the early exchanges, leaving Bahebeck to feed off scraps.
After a low key opening, the match began to liven up and Bordeaux defender Nicolas Pallois headed a glorious chance well wide following a fine free kick delivery from Jaroslav Plasil after 20 minutes.
PSG looked to be up against it eight minutes later, when Van der Wiel was shown a straight red card for a late tackle on Khazri. The former Ajax man was baffled by the decision and Blanc responded by replacing Bahebeck with right back Serge Aurier.
Bordeaux's numerical advantage lasted less than 10 minutes, though, as Biyogo Poko followed Van der Wiel down the tunnel for a wild challenge on Verratti and David Luiz's effort from the resulting free kick crashed against the post.
Biyogo Poko's sending off clearly reinvigorated PSG and the champions took a lead into the break as Lucas coolly slotted in a stoppage-time penalty after Verratti was tripped by Cedric Yambere.
It took the home side just four minutes to double its lead in the second half, with Lucas once again holding his nerve from 12 yards to stroke home after being hauled down by Pallois.
Bordeaux produced a response as they attempted an unlikely comeback, but PSG stood firm with Luiz making a vital block to deny Diego Rolan, before Salvatore Sirigu tipped an audacious Emiliano Sala just over.
Any hopes of a Bordeaux comeback were firmly extinguished nine minutes from the end as Lavezzi, Lucas' replacement, flicked in Blaise Matuidi's left-wing cross, wrapping up a comfortable win and throwing down the gauntlet to Marseille.

First public screening of Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' happening right now in Santa Monica (UPDATED)
Anyone who happened to be on hand at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica this evening for the American Cinematheque unveiling of a new DCP of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" was treated to quite the exciting surprise: the first public screening of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master."
A source at the event tells me that, prior to the screening, personnel announced that there would be a "secret screening" following the event and that anyone who'd like to stay was more than welcome. When the lights came up after the closing credits of Kubrick's icy horror staple, attendees were told the secret film was Anderson's much anticipated opus (which will screen at the Toronto, Venice and maybe Telluride and Fantastic Fest film festivals next month).
The film is being shown in 70mm, the director's preferred format of exhibition for "The Master" and one that has reportedly caused issues in lining up both commercial and festival exhibition. Anderson is in attendance (along with Maya Rudolph).
Recently there has been a lot of activity around Anderson's film, which tackles (though not explicitly) L. Ron Hubbard and the rise of Scientology. After landing slots at the previously mentioned Venice and Toronto film festivals, The Weinstein Company pulled the release date of the film up to September 14.
Gotta love the guy. He doesn't go the traditional route. Popping the film on unsuspecting cinema lovers (Who else would be at a Cinematheque screening of "The Shining?") is pure PTA.
So here's to you lucky folks seated in the Aero right now soaking up the latest from one of the best working filmmakers today. It makes me feel even worse that I'm way over here in some Holiday Inn north of Mobile, Alabama. I'll try to get some thoughts on the film out of my source after the screening.
Meanwhile, do what you can to help Anderson exhibit the film in 70mm. "Definitive P.T. Anderson resource" Cigarettes & Red Vines has some ideas. I've had the opportunity to see a few films in the format in my time and it really is glorious. I can't wait to see what he's done with it.
UPDATE: Well that caused quite the stir last night. My heart goes out to all the LA peeps who had planned on attending that screening of "The Shining" but opted out. Let that be a lesson to ya! My guy decided to sleep on it before sending a detailed reaction (though he texted a one-off to me afterward -- he was impressed). But reactions are all over the place now, so you'll find them. Slash Film has a good aggregation, so start there.
UPDATE 2: A few days late here as I've been traveling, but my guy sent in his extended thoughts, so I'm passing them along:
"I'll get the (semi) negatives out of the way first. Because everyone will do this, and because it is merited, I will knock out the 'There Will Be Blood' comparisons. Stylistically and tonally they are of a piece. And that, in my eyes, is both a positive and a negative. Positive because I think he has honed in on style that can connote themes and display a character's psyche in the best and most compelling way. Negative because it was such a fresh and overwhelming sucker punch of a feeling when seeing it in 'Blood,' and that might be a little diluted here. And that is only a thing I bring up because I feel like people might think that, and it is a little unfair. Also, "Blood" had such a strong narrative through-line because of the intensely-focused main character, and The Master tends to meander. It has a strong sense of theme and is always compelling, but it does seem a little aimless in sections. BUT--and I tend not to say this too much--I think that has much more to do with the plight of the character, who is very much aimless in this film.
"That out of the way, all of the things you might be excited about live up to expectations AND MORE. It is never less than visually stunning. The music fits the style perfectly (actually enhances it), and, as I already texted you, actually wavers and strays from the anxiety-inducing percussion to lush and beautiful in some parts. The period detail is impeccable. The production design and costumes are incredible and always believable. Most importantly, of course: The performances are AMAZING. And I don't use the word 'amazing' unless I mean it. Phoenix had me *slightly* worried with the teasers that he might come off too ticky, but it is quite an accomplishment. It's rare to see a performance where I was legit worrying about the other actors in the scene--that's how unpredictable a powder keg he was. I could not ever predict what he was going to do next (the performer and the character). Sometimes P.T. just holds on his face for an extended period of time and it is so, so moving/funny/sad/disgusting--ALL AT ONCE. Hoffman is much bigger than I thought he would be, but his vacillations from cool/collected to explosive and scary were always believable. And Adams is great and her character and performance grow in power and stature are the movie goes on.
"The film is about 2 hours 10 minutes, but honestly felt longer than that. I *do* think it could be tightened. But it's a unique vision pushed forward and is unlike anything else out there (besides his past work). There are moments that are heartbreaking and funny and melancholic all in the same beat, and that is an fantastic feat. I would say it's always good with some great, great moments and scenes peppered throughout.
"A side note: Much of the material from the first couple teaser trailers is not in the film. And when it is, there are different takes used. Just thought that was interesting."
"The Master" opens September 14.

Defending Champ Says Series Needs More Races
By: Dustin Long - @dustinlong on April 22, 2014 | 10:46 A.M. EST
Defending champ Matt Crafton says he'd like NASCAR to add more races to the Camping World Truck schedule. (Photo: Getty Images)
Understandably, Matt Crafton wants to race as much as possible, but that's not the only reason the defending Camping World Truck Series champion is not a fan of the long breaks between races early in the season.
"It's terrible,'' he said for the series.
While he could have been saying that for drivers, who always want to race, or fans who want to see as much racing as possible, Crafton had another reason as he talked Monday, the first of a two-day test at Charlotte Motor Speedway for ThorSport Racing, Brad Keselowski Racing, Turner Scott Motorsports and Red Horse Racing.
After the Trucks ran Feb. 21 at Daytona International Speedway, the series did not race again for five weeks until March 29 at Martinsville Speedway - where Crafton won. Then, the series went nearly six weeks until its next race, May 9 at Kansas Speedway.
That's part of a 22-race schedule stretching from February to November - the same number of races run since 2012.
Last season, the Trucks started on Feb. 22 at Daytona and went six weeks before the Martinsville race. That race, though, was followed by races at Rockingham (not on the schedule this year) and Kansas (moved to Mother's Day weekend in a trade with Darlington).
Crafton's disdain, though, is not personal. There's a reason he's not thrilled with the long breaks at this time of the year.
"For the teams that have sponsors, it's hard,'' he told Motor Racing Network. "At the end of the day, the owners are having to pay these guys that work on these trucks no matter what.
"If you have a sponsor and you get to to go to the racetrack and make prize money, you're getting something back out of it. When you're not going to the racetrack, you're still having to pay these guys. You have to pay these guys year-round no matter what. It's not like you can just stop paying them for the four or five weeks you have off. So they definitely, definitely need to work on our schedule and fit at least two or three more races in at the beginning of the year, get us back to at least 25 races to where we used to be.''
Johnny Sauter disagrees with his ThorSport teammate. Sauter understands the need for fewer races for the Truck series.
"A lot of this is about being able to keep a budget,'' Sauter said. "The more races you add, the more money it costs to do this and, ultimately, you need more people. I think the Truck Series has had a lot of success with the schedule it's had. I think it's good. It takes a little getting used to.''
That's something rookie Ben Kennedy is experiencing.
"It's really such a tease,'' he said of the long breaks between races. "I'm just ready to get back. You sit around and watch Nationwide and Cup races every weekend and you're just itching to get out there, especially watching Chase Elliott win and everything after racing him for a couple of years. I'm ready to get to Kansas and ready to get back to Charlotte and get into the rhythm of things.''
Joey Coulter calls the stretch between Martinsville and Kansas "tougher" than the stretch between Daytona and Martinsville "because the offseason isn't always an offseason. You're alway building a lot of things. That break after Daytona is not so bad from s shop standpoint because you really get a lot accomplished. You can spend a lot of time in the wind tunnel with your intermediate stuff, you get your short-track truck ready, you can go test. The stretch from Martinsville to Kansas is definitely rough. You've kind of got all your stuff lined up ready to go and you just got to wait.''

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Construction began on apartment buildings in eastern Jerusalem for married students attending a nearby yeshiva.
Work clearing the land for the three buildings for Yeshivat Beit Orot, funded by American businessman Irving Moskowitz, began Wednesday. The 24 apartments on the Mount of Olives Ridge will be located a short walk from the Hebrew University campus.
"We are joyful and honored to commence the construction of our new neighborhood which strengthens the Jewish presence in united Jerusalem and stresses the fact that Jerusalem is the home of every Jew in Israel and throughout the world," yeshiva head Rabbi Dani Isaac said in a statement on the yeshiva's website.
The Jerusalem municipality approved the construction in May. Construction is expected to be completed in one year.
