Jonah Hill Movies
Born and raised in Los Angeles,
Jonah Hill
first started to find success in show business as a cast member of the brilliant but canceled
Judd Apatow
. Like many of the actors who were fortunate to work for the successful writer/director/producer,
became a part of
's extended stock company, going on to appear in a number of films including
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
, as a young man who
wants to buy some boots, and
Knocked Up
, as the buddy who suggested his friend's pregnant girlfriend get "something that rhymes with smushmortion." He also starred alongside his onetime roommate
Justin Long
in a variety of projects, including the college comedy
re-teamed with
and company for their second major effort of summer 2007, the
Greg Mottola
Seth Rogen
-scripted comedy
, but on that occasion,
scored his first lead. He starred as Seth, a slightly geeky high school senior desperate for sex and suffering from some fairly serious adolescent angst. The film rang in as a blockbuster and won critical raves across the board. At about the same time,
signed on for a much different screen assignment (and target audience), agreeing to provide one of the voices in the animated outing
Horton Hears a Who
(2008). He followed that up with a small but funny role in the heartbreak comedy
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
as a starstruck hotel worker who really, really wants a visiting rock star to listen to his demo.
He scored laughs in the
Judd Apatow
-directed Funny People, and worked again with Russell Brand in Get Him to the Greek.
shored up his indie cred by starring in the Duplass Brothers comedy Cyrus as a young man who is way too attached to his mother.
2011 found
earning the best notices of his career in Moneyball, as the numbers-crunching Ivy Leaguer who helps Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) build the Oakland A's into a first-rate baseball team with seemingly second-rate players. His work in the movie brought him Best Supporting Actor nods from the Academy, BAFTA, the Golden Globes, and the Screen Actors Guild. Soon however, the actor was ready to get back to his comedic roots, pairing with Chaning Tatum for a satirical big-screen take on the 80's TV show 21 Jump Street, and following that up starring alongside Ben Stiller in The Watch. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

In desperate need of a vacation after being unceremoniously dumped by his TV-star girlfriend, a man travels to a lavish Hawaiian resort to nurse his wounds and forget his heartache, only to discover that his ex and her handsome new boyfriend are currently staying at the exact same island hot spot. Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) may be just another struggling musician, but for the past six years he's been dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), one of the hottest stars on television. Sarah is everything in the world to Peter, so when she kindly but firmly tells him that they should each go their separate ways, he is absolutely devastated. Later, after attempting to salvage his ego by awkwardly attempting to become a womanizer and nearly losing his job because of a nervous breakdown, an emotionally fragile Peter attempts to put the past behind him by escaping to the sun-soaked beaches of Oahu. While at first it seems as if Peter has discovered the perfect prescription for a bad case of lost love, his plan soon turns to dust when Sarah and her new rock-star boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), turn up at the exact same resort. Though accepting Sarah's lavish new lifestyle won't be easy for the crestfallen Peter, the laid-back companionship of flirtatious resort employee Rachel (Mila Kunis) -- not to mention a continuous regimen of fruity cocktails -- goes a long way in mending the wounds of a broken heart. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was penned by Segel and produced by Judd Apatow. Fun with Dick and Jane screenwriter Nicholas Stoller makes his directorial debut. The cast also includes Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer, and Jonah Hill. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Operating under the assumption that by procuring alcohol for an upcoming party they will finally be able to break their longstanding losing streak with the fairer sex, socially inept high school seniors Evan (Michael Cera) and Seth (Jonah Hill) set out to secure the adult beverages that could get them off of the geek list before they even attend college orientation. Evan is a bright young student whose outward sweetness belies his suffocating fear of heading off to college without his lifelong best friend Seth -- a hormone-driven mischief-maker who wasn't accepted to the same school as Evan. But Evan and Seth both know that college is a place of personal reinvention, and that if they are able to make that first leap together they will have forged a bond powerful enough to last a lifetime. Meanwhile, Evan and Seth's friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) acquires a hastily rendered fake I.D. that instantly endears him to a pair of truly irresponsible cops (Bill Hader and Seth Rogen). Penned by co-star Rogen in collaboration with former Da Ali G Show co-writer Evan Goldberg, the semi-autobiographical SuperBad was produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Greg Mottola -- who previously helmed episodes of Undeclared and Arrested Development. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Jeffrey Blitz's seriocomedy Rocket Science proves that many a handicap can be overcome, no matter how daunting the obstacle at hand may initially seem. Newcomer Reece Thompson plays Hal Hefner, a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route -- he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions -- and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem. Blitz, like his onscreen alter ego, struggled with a stammer as a young man -- a disability he eventually surmounted -- which imparted him with a lifelong interest in speech and storytelling. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Alex (Allen Covert) is a 35-year-old video-game fanatic who gave up a career in accounting to take a job testing games for Brainasium, the company behind the wildly popular game "Eternal Death Slayer." While Alex took a big pay cut to land his dream job, he's happy with his work and is making ends meet -- until he discovers that his roommate hasn't paid the rent for the last six months, using the money to finance repeated visits to a local massage parlor. After running out of friends who will let him sleep on their couch, Alex swallows his pride and moves in with his grandma Lily (Doris Roberts), who loves Alex and is happy to give him a place to stay in exchange for doing chores around the house. Lily shares her home with two friends, perpetually confused Bea (Shirley Knight) and sexually adventurous Grace (Shirley Jones), and between the three of them, there's always work to be done, keeping Alex busy nearly every night. While Alex tells his co-workers he's living with three attractive women who are running him ragged, they don't know the real story; in the meantime, Alex is trying to charm Brainasium's beautiful new executive, Samantha (Linda Cardellini), while butting heads with the firm's space-case CEO Cheezle (Kevin Nealon) and J.P.

Andy Stitzer (Carell) is a cheerfully geeky guy who is settling into middle age with his large collection of comic books, action figures, and collectable models. Andy works in an electronics store, and seems reasonably happy with his life. However, one day his friends and co-workers David (Paul Rudd), Jay (Romany Malco), and Cal (Seth Rogen) discover that Andy has a secret -- due to his rather severe jitters around women, Andy is still a virgin. Andy's pals are appalled at this state of affairs, and set out to find a woman who'd be willing to get horizontal with him. After a number of disastrous dates, everyone thinks Andy has finally struck gold when he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), an attractive single mother who takes an immediate liking to him. What the other guys don't know is that Trish has just gotten out of a bad relationship, and has informed Andy she isn't ready to be intimate with him just yet.

Five years after achieving commercial and critical success with his film Three Kings, director and screenwriter David O. Russell returns to the more idiosyncratic territory of his earlier work with this intelligent and offbeat comedy. Bernard and Vivian Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin) are a married couple who run an existential detective agency where they sift through the lives of their clients in order to discover the source of their angst. The Jaffes' latest client is Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), an environmental activist who has a very large rock and a great deal on his mind; their study of Albert's problems lead Bernard and Vivian to Brad Stand (Jude Law), a public relations executive with a chain of successful variety stores, Huckabees. While publicly allying himself with Albert's environmental initiatives, behind the scenes Brad is running roughshod over responsible land management with little care for the consequences. When Brad learns he's being watched by the Jaffes, he hopes to co-opt them by hiring them himself; however, the plan has unexpected consequences when their questioning leads Brad's girlfriend, well-scrubbed model Dawn (Naomi Watts), into reassessing her life and relationships. Meanwhile, Albert finds himself joining forces with Tommy (Mark Wahlberg), a firefighter and fellow environmentalist who has been having second thoughts about Bernard and Vivian's ideas and methods after a long-term investigation and has since fallen under the spell of nihilist poet and philosopher Caterine Vauban (Isabelle Huppert). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bennett Miller's adaptation of Michael Lewis' non-fiction best seller Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, a one-time phenom who flamed out in the big leagues and now works as the GM for the Oakland Athletics, a franchise that's about to lose their three best players to free agency. Because the team isn't in a financial position to spend as much as perennial favorites like the Yankees and the Red Sox, Beane realizes he needs to radically change how he evaluates what players can bring to the squad. After he meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), an Ivy League economics major working as an executive assistant for scouting on another team, Beane realizes he's found the man who understands how to subvert the system of assessing players that's been in place for nearly a century. However, as the duo begin to acquire players that seem too old, injured, or inept to play major-league baseball, they face stiff resistance from both the A's longtime scouts and the team's manager Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who outright refuses to allow Beane's more-nontraditional acquisitions to play. Moneyball screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

When the weight of rejection begins to set in after being denied entry to every college he has applied to, a high school burnout attempts to placate his mom and dad and win the heart of his dream girl by scheming with his friends to create a fake university in a hilarious comedy of artificial education directed by Steve Pink and starring Justin Long. Bartleby "B" Gaines (Long) is a high school senior whose street smarts just never seemed to translate into the classroom, and whose bad luck in love has left him pining for the unattainable Monica (Blake Lively). When Bartleby and his rebellious crew of outcasts find the frequent college rejection letters they have all been receiving bringing endless grief from their disappointed parents, they soon band together to create the fictional South Harmon Institute of Technology. After creating a believable façade in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, employing the talents of a close friend's brilliantly subversive uncle (Lewis Black) to pose as the dean, and creating a phony website in order to sell the school to their parents, Bartleby and friends soon realize that all of their hard work has paid off in ways than they never imagined. With a variety of college rejects attempting to enroll in classes at the ersatz university and the skepticism of some privileged students from a nearby college drawing unwanted attention to the South Harmon Institute of Technology, Bartleby and friends find their ruse becoming ever more difficult to maintain. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A workaholic architect, frustrated in his job but determined to make a better life for his family, is bestowed with a powerful universal remote that allows him more control over his life than he ever knew possible in director Frank Coraci's high-concept fantasy comedy. On the surface, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all, yet with all the demands forced upon him by his ungrateful boss (David Hasselhoff), Michael finds that setting aside time to spend with his loving wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and two picture-perfect children, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann), has grown increasingly difficult. When a frustrating bout with the television remote leads the overworked husband and father to a nearby Bed, Bath & Beyond in search of a universal remote with the power to control all of his electronic devices, a curious peek into the back room leads Michael into the company of eccentric employee and talented inventor Morty (Christopher Walken). It seems that Morty has created a device that will not only allow Michael complete control over his television and stereo, but his entire life as well. As Michael discovers that the remarkable device has the power to muffle the barks of the family dog, zoom himself past an irritating quarrel with his wife, and even allow him to travel back and forth through time to different points in his life, the rush of being able to skip straight to the good parts in life soon leaves him feeling as if he's missing out on the total experience. Only when Michael begins to realize that the he has lost control of his life and the remote is now programming him does he finally learn that life is as much about the moments he'd rather forget as it is the moments he will always remember. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

All games on Friday and Saturday will be played at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday's contests will be held at noon and 6 p.m., while Monday's game will start at 7 p.m., if necessary.
The Cougars were selected to the bracket as an at-large team, despite losing the first two games of the Southern Conference Tournament last week in Greenville, S.C. CofC entered the conference tournament with a share of the regular season title and a strong body of work thanks to a high overall SoCon RPI. The Cougars' regular season included a win at national seed South Carolina, a win at NCAA participant Clemson, a walk-off victory over in-state rival Coastal Carolina and a series victory over SoCon tourney champion Samford.
Despite losing both games, the Cougars fought valiantly in the SoCon Tournament, overcoming a 6-2 deficit in the eighth inning against The Citadel to force extra innings, and putting the winning run on base in the final frame against Elon despite trailing 11-5 earlier. The Cougar offense, led by SoCon Player of the Year Marty Gantt and All-Conference selection Brandon Murray, averaged nine runs a game with a batting average of .313.
All of the Gainesville Regional games, except for Sunday's noon contest, will be aired on ESPN3 with Mark Neely and Danny Kanell. Sunday's first game will be carried on ESPN2. The Charleston Sports Network will carry all CofC games on ESPN 910 AM with Jeff McCarragher and Dennis Trapani.
RHP #36 Cole Pitts, GT, 6-4, 4.36 ERA, 74.1 IP, 34 BB, 60 K
RHP #20 Christian Powell, CofC, 9-3, 2.39 ERA, 90.1 IP, 26 BB, 73 K
RHP #22 Matt Pegler, CofC, 9-2, 2.92 ERA, 80.0 IP, 20 BB, 57 K
The Yellow Jackets hold a 9-0 advantage in the all-time series against CofC. The teams last met in the 2006 NCAA Atlanta Super Regional. Georgia Tech won the first game, 5-0, and the second 12-3, to advance to the College World Series.
College of Charleston has only met Florida on the diamond twice, back in 2002 when the Gators won 20-3 and 23-8 decisions down in Gainesville.
This regional will potentially mark the first time that College of Charleston has played Bethune-Cookman. The Cougars are 18-0 all-time against teams from the MEAC conference including a 12-0 win over Savannah State earlier this season.
Georgia Tech earned the final spot in the ACC tournament on the last day of the regular season and then as a No. 8 seed went 4-0 in Greensboro to claim the league title with an 8-5 win over Miami on Sunday.
The Yellow Jackets are second in the powerhouse ACC in batting with a .296 team average (Virginia .298) but 10th in the conference in earned run average (4.33).
Jake Davies, a senior first baseman and middle reliever, is batting .332 with 13 home runs and 69 runs batted in.Daniel Palka, a sophomore right fielder/first baseman from Greer, is batting .302 with 12 homers and 47 RBIs.
Florida enters the postseason as the number one overall seed in the NCAA field of 64. The Gators were at the top of the polls for most of the season. Last season, Florida advanced to the College World Series Championship Finals before falling to South Carolina. The Gators lost to Vanderbilt in this year's SEC Tournament semifinals.
The Gators are led offensively by All-SEC first-team catcher Mike Zunino who sports a .323 average with 55 RBI and 16 home runs. All-SEC outfielder Preston Tucker is second on the team with 44 RBI along with 14 home runs.
UF has a team batting average of .281, while the pitching staff has posted a team ERA of 2.91, holding opponents to just .242 at the plate. The Gators' 67 home runs currently lead the nation.
Bethune-Cookman will be making the trek to the Gainesville regional for the fourth time as the champions of the MEAC conference. The Wildcats are experienced with the big-time environment as all B-CU players have been to the NCAA Tournament each year of their career, and also have big-game experience both in the MEAC Tournament and in top-tier non-conference games. B-CU played 14 games against top-40 competition this season, including five against the top-20.
The Wildcats are led by Brashad Johnson with a batting average of .346 and a slugging percentage of .449 with 34 RBI. David Lee leads the team with 47 RBI and 14 home runs. Bethune-Cookman has a team batting average of .276 with a team ERA of 3.86.
The 2012 NCAA Gainesville Regional marks the fifth postseason appearance for the Cougars since 2004. College of Charleston was last in the tournament in 2010 when CofC advanced to the championship game of the Myrtle Beach Regional. The Cougars also made consecutive trips in 2004, 2005 and 2006 with the team's best showing coming at the 2006 Lexington Regional when College of Charleston knocked off Notre Dame and Kentucky to advance to the Atlanta Super Regional. That year marked the last time that a SoCon team advanced past the regional stage.
CofC is 8-8 all-time in NCAA postseason play with an 0-2 record against Georgia Tech. The Cougars have won four SoCon Regular Season titles (2004, 2005, 2007, 2012) and captured the 2006 SoCon Tournament title.
Three Southern Conference baseball teams have been chosen to participate in the NCAA Baseball Championship, it was announced on Monday afternoon. Samford, which advanced to the NCAA postseason for the first time after claiming the league's automatic bid on Sunday, was joined in the postseason by regular season co-champions Appalachian State and College of Charleston.
This marks the seventh time in the past nine seasons that the Southern Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament, and it equals 2010 for the most from the SoCon in league history. The league's three bids ties for the fifth-highest among conferences, trailing only the ACC, SEC, Pac-12 and Big XII.
Marty Gantt swept the coaches and media vote for the SoCon Player of the Year award, while Christian Powell earned the coaches Pitcher of the Year award. It marked the first time in program history that the Cougars won both the Player and Pitcher of the Year award in the same season.
Both Powell and Gantt were named to the All-Southern Conference First Team, as Powell led the league with a 2.39 ERA and Gantt led the SoCon in runs (64) with a batting average of .375 and 44 RBI.
Bradley Goodson was named All-SoCon second team shortstop on both teams, and Brandon Murray earned All-SoCon second team on the coaches ballot. Matt Pegler, Kyle Owings and Rob Harding all earned All-SoCon second team on the media ballot.
Senior CF Marty Gantt has now been named for the lists of the two most prestigious player of the year awards in college baseball, as he was selected last week as a Dick Howser Award semifinalist. Gantt had previously been selected to the watch list for the USA Golden Spikes Award.
As the SoCon Player of the Year, Gantt is currently third in the Southern Conference with a batting average of .375. His league-best 64 runs rank 12th in the nation, while Gantt also leads a league leader in walks (43) and on-base percentage (.485), in doubles (19) and third in stolen bases (25) and slugging percentage (.612).
After starting the season with non-typical production, preseason All-American Daniel Aldrich has turned it around since hitting two doubles from the seven spot in a win over Appalachian State (4/8) in the series finale. Prior to the SoCon Tournament, Aldrich hit .372 in the last 23 regular-season games with eight home runs, four triples and 25 RBI for a slugging percentage of .809. He was named the SoCon Player of the Week twice, and hit a walk-off RBI single to defeat Coastal Carolina on May 15.
College of Charleston starter Christian Powell has proved to nearly unhittable this season, as he sports a league-best 2.39 ERA. Powell has boasted three starting performances where he has not allowed an earned run and has one partial shutout this season. His nine wins are tied for second in the SoCon as he was named the SoCon Pitcher of the Year by the coaches.
Powell was recently named to the National Pitcher of the Year Watch List, the only representative of the SoCon on the 51-player list.
College of Charleston Sunday starter Matt Pegler has surprised most this season with his outstanding performances at the bookend of the Cougar rotation. Pegler has posted an ERA of 2.92, good for second in the conference, with a record of 9-2. These past two months, Pegler has been the king of the bounce back victory as he's led CofC to six wins after losses the day before. Pegler was named Second Team All-Conference by the media.
College of Charleston senior and corner infielder Rob Harding has made big-time plays in big situations for the Cougars. Harding leads the team with a .452 average with runners in scoring position, while he's tallied a team-best 17 two-out RBI. He is currently third on the team with 43 RBI.
In the win over Clemson, Harding delivered the game-sealing RBI and then snagged a liner down the third baseline to get the lead runner in the 8th inning. He also hit a walk-off single to defeat The Citadel in the 11th inning (4/22).
Harding was named All-SoCon Second Team by the Southern Conference Sports Media Association.
CofC reliever Kyle Owings has been a force in the Cougar bullpen as the primary setup reliever. Owings finished the season with an ERA of 1.33 with a 3-0 record and two saves. Opponents are batting just .242 against the senior righty, while Owings has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.13 (50:16). Owings was named All-SoCon Second Team.
College of Charleston sophomore Brandon Murray has been a power generator at the plate, blasting a team-best 12home runs and boasting a slugging percentage of .574. Murray is sixth in the league in home runs and was named All-SoCon Second Team. In the past seven games, Murray has averaged .529 at the plate with 10 RBI and a .706 slugging percentage.
Murray was named the SoCon Player of the Week on March 26. He hit a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning that led to the Cougars extra-inning win over CSU (3/27).
Sophomore Brandon Glazer has rewarded Coach Lee for making him a regular starter in the second half of the season as he has seen time at third base and DH. Glazer finished the year with a .322 batting average and five home runs in the last seven games. His three-run shot against Coastal Carolina helped lift the Cougars to victory after falling behind early.
CofC games this season have largely been determined by the action in the first four innings. The Cougars are an impressive 30-3 when leading after the fourth inning and are 3-16 when trailing after the fourth inning. The Cougars do not easily give up leads as they are 27-6 on the season when scoring first.
While the College of Charleston has based its 2012 reputation off of the strength of its pitching staff, the Cougars are still hitting for power in a big way. CofC leads the Southern Conference in team home runs with 63, a mark that currently ranks 5th in the country.
College of Charleston has seen power from a number of different bats as Brandon Murray (12), Marty Gantt (10), Daniel Aldrich (10), and Bradley Goodson (8) have eight or more long balls. CofC is 29-11 this season when the squad hits a home run in a game, and 13-2 when the Cougars hit two or more long balls.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate: Do They Deserve Gold Star Status?
November 13, 2007
Deborah Adkins
Michael Dahlin
John Cronin
This report examines whether the reputation the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs have for academic excellence is truly deserved. Our expert reviewers looked at the four AP and IB courses most similar to the core content areas in American high schools--English, history, math, and science--and found that, in general, the courses do warrant praise. In a few cases, they deserve gold stars.

The Proficiency Illusion
October 04, 2007
Deborah Adkins
G. Gage Kingsbury
Michael Dahlin
John Cronin
NCLB allows each state to define proficiency as it sees fit and design its own tests. This study compares state tests to benchmarks laid out by the Northwest Evaluation Association to evaluate proficiency cut scores for assessments in twenty-six states. The findings suggest that the tests states use to measure academic progress and student proficiency under NCLB are creating a false impression of success, especially in reading and especially in the early grades.

Alternative Certification Isn't Alternative
September 18, 2007
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Diane Ravitch
At first glance, the explosive growth of 'alternative' teacher certification--which is supposed to allow able individuals to teach in public schools without first passing through a college of education--appears to be one of the great success stories of modern education reform. But, as this report reveals, alternative certification programs have so far failed to provide a real alternative to traditional education schools. In fact, they represent a significant setback for education reform advocates.

Beyond the Basics: Achieving a Liberal Education for All Children
July 11, 2007
Chester E. Finn, Jr.
Diane Ravitch
America's true competitive edge over the long haul is not its technical prowess but its creativity, its imagination, its inventiveness. And those attributes are best inculcated not by skill-drill or 'STEM' but through liberal arts and sciences, liberally defined. Thus argues this new Fordham volume, edited by Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Diane Ravitch, which also explores what policymakers and educators at all levels can to do sustain liberal learning and sketches an unlovely future if we fail.

The Autonomy Gap
April 11, 2007
Steven Adamowski
Though most public school principals believe that effective leadership of their schools requires authority over personnel decisions (e.g., staff selection, deployment, dismissal), they report having little such authority in practice. Based on a series of interviews with a small sample of district and charter-school principals, the report shows that most district principals encounter a sizable gap between the extent and kinds of authority that leaders need to be effective and the authority that they actually have.

Crystal Apple: Education Insiders' Predictions for No Child Left Behind's Reauthorization
April 01, 2007
Michael J. Petrilli
Coby Loup
January 8, 2007, was the fifth birthday of the No Child Left Behind Act. This isn't just another milestone to be celebrated (or mourned). The law is now due for an update from Congress. But will NCLB be reauthorized on schedule? What changes are likely? No one knows for sure, but the ubiquitous 'Washington insiders' might be in a better position than others to cast prognostications. While not a 'representative sample' of thousands, their inside knowledge adds valuable insight.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) Bryce Cheek broke up a 2-point conversion pass and Andrew Pratt recovered the ensuing onside kick as Akron denied a Toledo comeback 31-29 in the final minute on Friday.
Kyle Pohl passed for 259 yards and three touchdowns as the Zips (5-7, 4-4 Mid-American Conference) closed the season with three straight wins.
Toledo (7-5, 5-3), previously knocked out of the Mid-American race, was hoping to improve its bowl chances with eight wins. Terrance Owens answered Pohl with two scores in the final 5:37, hitting Bernard Reedy from the 28, and guiding a 10-play drive capped by a Marc Remy run from the 3 with 59 seconds left before Cheek and Pratt saved the win.

The conclusion of Allan May's three part series on the rise and fall of the notorious race wire service.
by Allan May
Part Three: Ragen and McBride and the End of the Race Wire
U. S. Sen. Estes Kefauver once called the Continental Press the nation's Public Enemy Number One. "In my opinion, the wire service keeps alive the illegal gambling empire which in turn bankrolls a variety of other criminal activities in America."
When Moses Annenberg, under pressure from Capone, disbanded Nation Wide News Service in 1939, Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride established the Continental Press. Born in Chicago in 1888, McBride had a long career in the newspaper business. Recalling an incident as a child, he said he once purchased 50 newspapers for 50 cents, "I sold the batch of papers for $1, and I've been making business deals ever since." McBride learned the newspaper circulation business by working for William Randolph Hearst. In 1911, McBride became Hearst's circulation manager for the Chicago American which took on the Chicago Tribune in a bitter circulation war.

By Roger Mercer
Dear Roger: I've sent you a photo is of a volunteer plant that appeared in our cast iron kettle planter last year. I have been unable to identify it and hope you can cast some light.
The blossoms are a mustard color, are about the size of large stuffed olives and have purple centers. The "blossoms" do not have petals. Any ideas?- Mr. Lynn, Whispering Pines
Dear Mr. Lynn: Your plant isAcmella oleracea, formerly and still more commonly known asSpilanthes oleracea.
It is even more commonly known as a "toothache plant," since chewing any part of it may ease the pain of a toothache. The flowers are reported to be a stronger pain reliever than the leaves, but both work.
The plant is also sometimes called "eyeball flower," for obvious reasons, though that term is more commonly applied to crespedia.
For several weeks after I read your email, I couldn't remember the identity of your plant because I kept thinking crespedia and that thought blocked the name spilanthes, which is how I knew the plant when I grew it years ago.
Since then, the name has been changed to acmella. I am annoyed by having to learn new names for plants that had perfectly good names in the first place.
How would we like it if all our favorite movie stars' names were changed from time to time? Suppose we had to relearn the names, while remembering their former names for those who hadn't caught up with the change.
Let me see. The star of that film was Dinglebut Spiduliac, right? No, that was Robert Redford. Yes, but his name has been changed to Spiduliac. You see?
OK, botanists. Go find something useful to do. And quit trying to force people to buy new editions of your books to learn all the names you have changed.
By the way, I still call the biggest city in India Bombay, even though it's now known as Mumbai. And I still refer to Kolkata as Calcutta. And Peking is still all right with me. The history of such cities rings with the sound of their older names, just the way the older, long-used names of plants call up their histories, locations and associations to me.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: American Poets)
Conrad Potter Aiken was the oldest of three sons and one daughter. His father was a surgeon, and the Aikens were well off, but the family was fractured by strife. In "Obiturary in Bitcherel," the last of his Collected Poems (1970), and in Ushant: An Essay (1952), Aiken records the crescendo of violence that tore his family apart. In "Obituary in Bitcherel," Aiken gives himself a very good beginning, with a distinguished father who was not only a physician and surgeon but also a writer and painter and with a mother, a New England beauty, whose father, William James Potter, a Congregational minister, was a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Two Mayflower passengers and six generations of the Delanos ran in Aiken's veins. His parents reared him to appreciate literature and writing, and he had happy hours of play besides. Then the parents seemed to turn against each other. The atmosphere of the house became strained. Aiken was beaten, barebacked, for reasons unknown. In Ushant, he tells of the argument flaring up between his parents early one morning, of his mother's half-smothered cry, of his father's voice counting to three, of the handgun exploding twice, and of the two still bodies lying separately in the dim daylight of the room. Aiken was only eleven years old, and ever after the murder-suicide, he was in search of a literary consciousness that would do his parents credit.
Sent to live with a great-great aunt in New...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
When Conrad Aiken was eleven, his father killed his mother and then committed suicide. This incident could very well have influenced the subject matter of a great number of his stories, where one step more may take a character to an immense abyss of madness or death. Graduating from Harvard University in 1911, Aiken became a member of the famous Harvard group which included T. S. Eliot, Robert Benchley, and Van Wyck Brooks. He published his first volume of poems in 1914. A contributing editor of The Dial from 1917 to 1919, Aiken later worked as London correspondent for The New Yorker. Through the course of his career he was the recipient of many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1930 for Selected Poems (1929), the National Book Award in 1954 for Collected Poems (1953), and the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1956. He died in 1973 at the age of eighty-four.

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Conrad Potter Aiken was born in Savannah, Georgia, on August 5, 1889. Both of his parents were New Englanders. His mother, Anna Potter Aiken, was the daughter of William James Potter, minister of the Unitarian First Congregational Society of New Bedford, Massachusetts, and a friend of the essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. His father, William Ford Aiken, was a physician educated at Harvard. The central event of his childhood—and in fact of his whole life—took place in 1900, when, at the age of eleven, he discovered the dead bodies of his parents. Aiken's father had killed his mother with a revolver and then shot himself. This event remained forever embedded in his psyche. As Aiken writes in Ushant, "He had tiptoed into the dark room, where the two bodies lay motionless, and apart, and, finding them dead, found himself possessed of them forever."
Following this crucial event, Aiken's two brothers were separated from him, and he spent the remainder of his childhood living with a great-great-aunt in New Bedford. He attended the Middlesex School in Concord and, in 1907, entered Harvard University during the same period as T. S. Eliot, John Reed, Walter Lippmann, E. E. Cummings, and Robert Benchley. At college, Aiken was president of the Harvard Advocate literary magazine, a frequent contributor to the Harvard Monthly, and a leader among his classmates in literary discussions, but he also established a pattern that...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Conrad Potter Aiken (AY-kuhn) was a central figure in the American poetry renaissance of the early twentieth century. He was born in Savannah, Georgia, on August 5, 1889, the son of parents of distinguished New England ancestry. His father, William Ford Aiken, studied medicine at Harvard University and in Europe. His mother, Anna Potter Aiken, was the daughter of William James Potter, a prominent minister in New Bedford, Massachusetts, who left the Unitarian church to cofound the less sectarian Free Religious Association. For his freethinking and rationalism, Potter assumed heroic stature in many of Aiken's works. The key event of Aiken's life occurred when his father shot to death himself and his wife in February, 1901. The tragedy's effects on the development of Aiken's personality are analyzed, often through elaborate dream sequences, in much of his writing. Following the deaths of his parents, Aiken was separated from his two younger brothers and sister to be reared by relatives in New Bedford and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Aiken entered Harvard University in 1907, where he became a close and lifelong friend of T. S. Eliot. As a student, Aiken was deeply influenced by the naturalistic rationalism of George Santayana, who argued that the greatest poetry was philosophical, capable of expressing a coherent worldview based upon a knowledge of contemporary scientific and humanistic thought.

Biography (Short Stories for Students)
In 1889 Conrad Aiken was born to parents of Scottish descent in Savannah, Georgia. In 1901, when he was eleven years old, Aiken's father, killed his wife and then committed suicide. Aiken lived with an aunt in New Bedford, Massachusetts, until he entered Harvard University in 1907. There, he studied with George Santayana, a renowned philosopher and poet. Santayana's philosophy emphasized the utility of human sensory perception and reason. This aesthetic reaction to the world also emerges in Aiken's own poetry and fiction.
Aiken wrote steadily in many genres, but preferred writing poetry and short stories. He also wrote several novels, including The Blue Voyage (1927), Great Circle (1933), King Coffin (1935), and A Heart of the Gods for Mexico (1939).
Aiken's poetry ranges from short lyrics to extended ''symphonies,'' as he called them, to more straightforward verse narratives. He received the Pulitzer Prize for his Selected Poems (1929) and a National Book Award for his Collected Poems (1953). As a poet, Aiken belonged to the modernist school, yet his verse was different from the work of Ezra Pound or Wallace Stevens. As a prose writer, Aiken tended to be more conventional, though such modernistic devices as stream-of-consciousness can be found in his work.

Biography (Poetry for Students)
Conrad Aiken was born in Savannah, Georgia, on August 5, 1889, the eldest of four children. When Aiken was eleven, his father, a physician and a poet, murdered his wife and then turned the pistol on himself. Seeing the blood-soaked bodies, Aiken went to the police station for help. After their parents' burial, the children were separated. Aiken was sent to Massachusetts to live with his father's sister's family.
When Aiken entered Harvard in 1907, he had already begun writing poetry; in 1911 he was named Class Poet. At Harvard he met T. S. Eliot (1885–1965). Together they edited the Advocate, a magazine of poetry and criticism. The friendship begun at Harvard, despite a period of estrangement when Eliot embraced Anglicanism and distanced himself from those who did not, lasted throughout their lives. Aiken was a contributing editor to Eliot's magazine the Dial between 1917 and 1919.
In 1912, Aiken married Jessie McDonald; the couple had three children. In 1917, his first book of poems, Nocturne of Remembered Spring, was published. The Charnel Rose followed in 1918. In 1919, the Aikens left Cambridge, Massachusetts, and moved to South Yarmouth, England. In 1920, Aiken published House of Dust: A Symphony. In 1921, the family moved to London. There Aiken became...
