Reese Witherspoon Movies
As one of the most impressively talented members of the emerging New Hollywood of the early 21st century,
Reese Witherspoon
has proven that she can do far more than just pose winsomely for the camera. Born March 22, 1976, in Nashville, TN,
was a child model and acted in television commercials from the age of seven. She had a part in the 1991 Lifetime cable movie
before making her 1991 film debut in the coming-of-age story
The Man in the Moon
(1991). The 14-year-old
made an immediate impact on critics and audiences alike, netting widespread praise for her portrayal of a tomboy experiencing love for the first time.
While still in high school,
completed two more feature films,
Jack the Bear
(1993), starring
Danny De Vito
, and Disney's
A Far Off Place
(1993), which required the actress to spend several months living in the Kalahari Desert. Following a supporting role in the 1993 CBS miniseries
Return to Lonesome Dove
and a lead in the critically disembowelled
temporarily set aside her career to study English literature at Stanford University. She then returned to film as the abused girlfriend of a psychotic
Mark Wahlberg
in the thriller
(1996). In the same year, she had to deal with yet another crazed male in
, a satirical version of Little Red Riding Hood in which
co-starred with
Kiefer Sutherland
, who took on the role of the aforementioned crazed male.
Her career began to take off in 1998, with roles in two high-profile films. The first,
, saw her sharing the screen with
Gene Hackman
Susan Sarandon
, and
Paul Newman
. The film received mixed reviews and lackluster box office, but
, her other project that year, proved to be both a critical and financial hit. The actress won wide recognition for her leading role as
Tobey Maguire
's oversexed sister, and this recognition -- along with critical respect -- increased the following year with another leading role, in
Alexander Payne
's acclaimed satire
. Starring opposite
Matthew Broderick
won raves for her hilarious, high-strung portrayal of student-council presidential candidate Tracy Flick. The character stood in stark contrast to the one
subsequently portrayed in
Cruel Intentions
Roger Kumble
's delightfully trashy all-teen update of
Dangerous Liaisons
. As the virginal Annette,
was convincing as the object of
Ryan Phillippe
's reluctant affection, perhaps due in part to her real-life relationship with the actor, whom she married in June 1999.
After turning up in an amusing minor role as serial killer Patrick Bateman's burnt-out yuppie girlfriend in
American Psycho
again pleased critics and audiences alike with her decidedly
role in 2001's
Legally Blonde
. Her star turn as a seemingly dimwitted sorority blonde-turned-Harvard law-school-prodigy unexpectedly shot the featherweight comedy to number one, despite such heavy summer contenders as
Steven Spielberg
and the ominously cast heist thriller
The Score
. The 18-million-dollar film went on to gross nearly 100 million dollars, proving that
had finally arrived as a box-office draw.
Though she would test out her chops in the
Oscar Wilde
The Importance of Being Earnest
's proper follow-up to
Legally Blonde
came in the form of 2002's
Sweet Home Alabama
, a culture-clash romantic comedy as embraced by audiences as it was rejected by critics. As with
Drew Barrymore
before her,
used her newfound standing among the Hollywood elite to start her own production company, Type A Films, as well as to up her asking price to the rarefied 15-million-dollar range for the sequel to
Legally Blonde
. Though
Blonde 2
didn't perform quite as well as the first film, the power player/doting mother of two wasted no time in prepping other projects for the screen, taking the lead in 2004's elaborate costume drama
Vanity Fair
as Becky Sharp, a woman who strives to transcend class barriers in 19th century England. For all its lavish costumes and sets,
Vanity Fair
received mixed reviews, but
's winning performance still garnered praise.
The next year, she appeared in the heaven-can-wait romantic comedy
Just Like Heaven
Mark Ruffalo
, as well as
James Mangold
's biopic
Walk the Line
June Carter Cash
, wife of country music legend
Johnny Cash
. This role proved to be a pivotal one, earning
both a Best Actress Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her performance, and cementing her as an actress whose abilities go far beyond her charm and pretty face.
As with others before her, however, the Best Actress statue portended a breakup between her and her husband; in October, 2006, she and
began their divorce proceedings, shortly after his starring turn in
Clint Eastwood
Flags of Our Fathers
. Career-wise, however, she didn't miss a beat, continuing to appear in popular romantic comedies like Four Christmases and
Just Like Heaven
, before getting more serious for the 1930's period drama Water for Elephants in 2011. By the next year, Witherspoon was crossing genres, playing the femme fatale at the center of a love triangle between two deadly secret agents in the action comedy This Means War. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

A kindly aristocrat suffering from an unsightly curse breaks free from her extravagant, prison-like estate to seek adventure and discover her true self in a romantic, modern-day fairy tale directed by Mark Palansky and starring Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Peter Dinklage, and Reese Witherspoon. Generations ago, a witch placed a curse on the Wilhelm family that would result in the next girl being born into the clan having a porcine snout -- and now young Penelope (Ricci) has fallen victim to the vengeful hag's unsightly grudge. When tabloid reporter Lemon (Dinklage) runs a misleadingly frightening photograph of the kind-hearted Penelope, her parents, Jessica (Catherine O'Hara) and Franklin (Richard E. Grant), lock the girl away in a sprawling mansion. Though it is said that the curse can be lifted if a man of Penelope's status takes her hand in marriage, every man who lays eyes on the girl takes flight at first sight, never to return -- until the arrival of Max (McAvoy), that is. An unrepentant gambler with a heavy heart and an ulterior motive for meeting Penelope, Max is unexpectedly caught off guard by the pig-nosed girl's disarming charm, and suddenly flees before carrying out his nefarious plan. Now determined to throw caution to the wind and explore the world on her own terms, Penelope makes the acquaintance of independent-minded delivery girl Annie (Witherspoon), who fast agrees to join her newfound friend on the ultimate journey of self-discovery. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

James Mangold's Walk the Line tells the life story of country music legend Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix), focusing primarily on the long courtship he had with June Carter (Reese Witherspoon). The film is structured as an extended flashback opening with Cash readying to take the stage at his historic Folsom Prison Concert. The film touches on his childhood, relating a horrific early incident from his life and establishing the troubled relationship he would have with his father (Robert Patrick). Cash joins the military and leaves home. During his time in the armed services he begins writing songs and romances a hometown girl (Ginnifer Goodwin). After the end of his duty he settles down and attempts to begin a music career, but his wife has trouble adjusting to his dreams. Cash auditions for Sam Phillips (Dallas Roberts), signs to Sun Records, and soon finds himself on tour with a roster of young soon-to-be legends that includes Elvis Presley (Tyler Hilton) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Waylon Malloy Payne). On this tour he meets June Carter, the daughter of the famous Carter family, and they take a liking to each other, although she refuses any serious advances from him. Cash gains world-wide fame thanks in part to the inspiration he gets from June, but eventually his marriage crumbles and he develops a serious drug addiction. The film is based on Cash's autobiographies. Phoenix and Witherspoon performed all of their own singing in the movie, just as Sissy Spacek and Beverly D'Angelo did in Coal Miner's Daughter a quarter-century before. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

William Makepeace Thackeray's witty assessment of the British class system, as seen through the experiences of one young woman, is brought to the screen with some serious star power in this period comedy drama. Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) is a bright and ambitious girl born to a poor British family. Becky is determined to make something of herself however she can, and after accepting a job as a nanny for the children of the powerful and aristocratic Sir Pitt Crawley (Bob Hoskins), she wastes no time ingratiating herself with the family. Pretty Becky catches the eye of Crawley's handsome and eligible son Rawdon (James Purefoy), and becomes chummy with sharp-tongued Aunt Matilda (Eileen Atkins). Between the two of them, Becky is introduced to London's most exclusive social circle, where she becomes re-acquainted with Amelia Sedley (Romola Garai), a former school chum who is amused by Becky's efforts to scale the ladder of social influence. Becky weds Rawdon, but following initial happiness, the social and economic stability she dreamed of begins to collapse when he begins drowning his troubles in gambling and drink, and soon she turns to the powerful Marquess of Steyne (Gabriel Byrne) for support. Meanwhile, Amelia's fortunes fall even harder following the death of her husband.

Taking home a paycheck that nearly rivals the budget of the first film, Reese Witherspoon reprises the role of Elle Woods in this sequel to 2001's surprise blockbuster Legally Blonde. When she's fired from her job at an upscale law firm for voicing her stance against the testing of cosmetics on animals, Elle heads to Capitol Hill to fight for her cause before Congress, leaving her boyfriend, Emmett (Luke Wilson, reprising his role from the film's predecessor), behind. Once there, she runs into plenty of adversity and red-tape and can't seem to find anyone who will listen to her proposals. While staying at the Watergate hotel though, she meets and befriends an elderly bellman (Bob Newhart in his first theatrical role since 1997's In & Out) who's been around politicians long enough to know the ins and outs of the political machine. With his help, Elle attempts to convince disillusioned U.S. Representative Rudd (Sally Field) to help her get her voice heard in front of the stodgy old coots of the legislative branch. Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld hot off the success of his critically acclaimed indie comedy Kissing Jessica Stein, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde boasts a supporting cast led by Jennifer Coolidge (Best in Show, American Pie) and Regina King (Jerry Maguire, Daddy Day Care). ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

A superb cast brings Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners to life in the third big-screen adaptation of this hilarious look at fun, games, and dubious ethics among the British upper crust. Algernon Moncrieff (Rupert Everett) is a slightly shady, but charming gentlemen from a wealthy family who has a bad habit of throwing his money away. Algernon has a close friend named Jack Worthing (Colin Firth), a self-made man who acts as a ward to his cousin, a beautiful young lady named Cecily (Reese Witherspoon). Algernon has created an alter ego to help him get out of tight spots brought on by his financial improprieties, and when he learns that Jack has created a false identity of his own -- Earnest, a brother living in London whose exploits have earned him no small amount of notoriety -- Algernon arrives for a weekend visit in the country posing as the mysterious Earnest. Having heard of Earnest's misadventures many times over the years, Cecily had developed something of an infatuation with the lovable rogue, and Algernon's impersonation of him works no small degree of magic on Cecily. Meanwhile, Algernon's cousin, Gwendolyn (Frances O'Connor), arrives for the weekend, and is startled to discover Jack is also there -- except that she knows him as bad-boy Earnest. So just who is in love with who? How will Lady Bracknell (Judi Dench) handle the matter of her daughter Gwendolyn's suitors? And what's the truth about Jack's mysterious heritage? The Importance of Being Earnest was director Oliver Parker's second film adaptation of an Oscar Wilde comedy; he previously helmed An Ideal Husband, which also starred Rupert Everett. Everett and Colin Firth also co-starred in the 1984 drama Another Country. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After establishing herself as a bankable star with the fish out of water comedy Legally Blonde, Reese Witherspoon returns in what could be described as a "fish back in water" comedy. Melanie Carmichael (Witherspoon) is a successful New York fashion designer who is dating Andrew Hennings (Patrick Dempsey), a wealthy socialite whose mother, Katherine Hennings (Candice Bergen), is the Big Apple's mayor. One day, Andrew pops the big question and asks Melanie to marry him; Melanie is overjoyed, but unknown to Andrew, Melanie has some unfinished business to take care of first. Despite her polished uptown image, Melanie grew up poor in the deep South, and as a teenager she married her high school sweetheart Jake Perry (Josh Lucas). Things went sour and Melanie moved East, reinventing herself along the way, but Jake never bothered to legally end their marriage. Now Melanie has to return to her hometown of Pigeon Creek, AL, to tell her parents (Fred Ward and Mary Kay Place) the news and convince Jake to grant her a divorce; however, the more time she spends with her old flame, the more she feels sparks flying between them again, while she also learns her Eastern affectations don't fly with everyone back home. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Actors and political activists come together to take a long, hard look at the State of the Union during the 2000 U.S. Presidential election in this documentary, a follow-up to 1993's The Last Party, in which actor Robert Downey Jr. followed the 1992 presidential campaign. In The Last Party 2000, with Robert Downey Jr. unavailable due to drug convictions (he does make a brief appearance, and his legal problems as well as the current state of American drug laws are discussed), Philip Seymour Hoffman takes his place as he visits the 2000 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and talks to politicians and activists both famous and obscure as a pitched battle is fought between supporters of democratic candidate Al Gore, republican nominee George W.

Make up, beautification and skin care they are 3 things I can talk about all day long, that's why I set up this blog. My mission to find out what's Officially Hot and what's not. There are so many products on the market so where do you start the investigation? Lets strip in back to my humble begins I was a spotty teenager who wanted the boys to fancy me, so I first discovered make up and then Clearasil. The Clearasil never really worked out for me but my fascination with beautification began.
Trial and error, reading magazines, listening to what they said on the TV programmes, your friends and peers and later on the internet. All methods of communication some more effective than others. One thing I do know I'm still a sucker for a good infomercial, although my eagerness to get my credit card isn't so ready. The Sheer Cover campaign saw to that. The product: the first mineral powder foundation I ever used and heard of. The product promised to blend with my skin tone and cover up any uneven skin tone and hyper-pigmentation. I was very disappointed in the results as it made me look like I had just seen a ghost and it didn't do the trick in terms of its concealer/ cover up benefits. In fact now thinking about it there was a very big hint in the name, how can you expect maximum coverage from a product called Sheer Cover. Despite my recent Sheer Cover epiphany it doesn't excuse the fact that it didn't blend with my skin tone and I looked like a ghost.
When buying beauty products it's a lottery sometimes you win big sometimes, you win small but most of the time you just waste your money. Even when you buy into the most raved about product in the market it doesn't mean its' right for you. I'm sure thousands of women are enjoying the benefits of Sheer Cover otherwise they would have gone out of business a long time ago.

Thomas Arsenault is 27 years old, but he doesn't look a day over 20. And yet, judging from all that he's accomplished so far, you'd think that he was much, much older: he speaks four languages, has lived for extended periods of time on different continents and is something of a prodigy when it comes to tackling things like video editing or figuring out how to use strange new musical instruments. "I'd say I'm choirboy in spirit, but more ecstatic," he says.
The Brooklyn studio out of which he works has produced albums for Light Asylum, Mirror Mirror and Tim DeWitt of Gang Gang Dance. Arsenault's own music and video work is lush and emotive, filled with subtle nuances that somehow jerk the audience into deep self-reflexive awareness.

Red Glare
Laurel Smith
April 26th – May 26th, 2012
opening reception April 26th: 6 – 8pm
artist in Attendance
Skew Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition for Laurel Smith. Red Glare is a site-specific collection of new works inspired by Smith's process of writing her dissertation for her Ph.D. Developing a variety of elements for her exhibition, including large format photo-imaging, found objects, drawing, and manufactured multiples, Smith visually translates her dissertation's philosophical exploration of "every thing you see that is coloured, titled, judged, considered, translated, interpreted, perceived, experienced or read as red is evacuated to Mars."
A world devoid of red is a playful notion that Smith has fun with through her suggestion of sending it to the red planet of Mars in thousands of tiny red rockets. It is through her artistic process of research, collecting and meditative, ritual drawing that Smith began to realize the authority this little word holds through language, as well as humanities potent emotional and physical associations to the colour.
Laurel Smith is a contemporary minimal painter who lives in Calgary, Canada. She received a BFA with distinction from the Alberta College of Art + Design and her MFA from Concordia University in Montreal. She is currently a doctoral candidate in the University of Calgary's Faculty of Education. Her research topic is "red." Smith is the recipient of several awards including: Canada Council for the Arts; Alberta Foundation for the Arts; Eastern Canada Winner of the RBC Investments 6th Annual Painting Competition; The Brucebo Foundation; Concordia University Fellowship; Sheila Hugh MacKay Foundation; the Illingworth Kerr Travel Award and the Illingworth Kerr Academic Achievement Award. Her works have been exhibited across North America and in Europe. Selected solo exhibits include CIXI, Ornaminimalism, Paintings by Laurel Smith, LS is more, and Critical Distance. Selected group exhibitions include: soft core Hard Edge (22 artists from LA and Calgary), Inhabiting Spaces (4 Calgary artists touring exhibition to Poland, Portugal, Finland, Canada), Neo-Minimalism, The Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art: Living Utopia and Disaster, About Time: Contemporary Painting in Calgary, and The 6th annual RBC Canadian Painting Competition. Smith's paintings are in public collections including the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Visby Konstmuseum, The Glenbow Museum, Manitoba Hydro Permanent Collection, Calgary Civic Arts Alliance, The Royal Bank of Canada, among other corporate and private collections. Catalogue essays and exhibition reviews have been written about the work. Smith also teaches art and writes articles about the art and research practices of her peers.

Non prescription Growth Hormones have made HGH treatment accessible and affordable. What makes non prescription Growth Hormones so affordable? And why are they suddenly accessible in comparison to years past? Let's take a closer look.
Non prescription Growth Hormones: Affordability
In years past the HGH treatment of choice was the HGH injection. Human Growth Hormones injections were not only riddled with potentially dangerous side effect, but they were very expensive. They required a prescription and therefore required frequent doctor's office visits. Most who found themselves interested in treatment for whatever reason were not able to afford it. With the introduction of homeopathic or non prescription Growth Hormones, users can now access safe, natural versions of HGH treatment without worrying about side effects, doctor's office visits or fees and especially, the high costs of the injections. Homeopathic HGH is far more affordable.
Non prescription Growth Hormones: Accessibility
The HGH injections required a prescription. Some found themselves so desperate for the benefits of treatment that they were willing to pay an arm and a leg and risk potentially dangerous side effects just to get the HGH injections … regardless if the means were legal or not. But with the introduction of homeopathic HGH this entire issue is circumvented. Users can access the product online. There is no prescription requirement. There are no doctor's office visits. The treatment is shipped directly to their door.
So between the increased affordability and the improved accessibility, it's no wonder that more people than ever see non prescription Growth Hormones as a vital part of their day. In fact, many users indicate that their homeopathic HGH treatment will make or break their day. They don't like to go without it!

LOYOLA MAROON VOL. XLV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 7, 1969 No. 18 March against local lounge planned By RICK FREY (Maroon News Editor) As of late Thursday afternoon, students were planning to picket Cusimano's Cocktail Lounge, 4938 Prytania, in protest of alleged racial discrimination. The group is led by Dr. Donald Brady, chairman of the Department of Drama and Speech, and by students C.L. Sappington, Reid Champagne and Joseph Thompson, all A&S sophomores. The picketing was organized due to an incident that allegedly occured Feb. 5 at the lounge. The incident involved the refusal of a Negro co-ed from Loyola to be served at the lounge (Loyola Maroon, Feb. 28, J969). Pickets were planning to appear in front of the bar at approximately 9 p.m. and continue to midnight. They were also planning to continue the picketing tonight and tomorrow night if the owner of the lounge refused to change his policy towards serving Negroes. Various faculty members and administrative officials were planning to participate in the demonstration according to Dr. Brady. As of this printing there was the possibility that the demonstration would be called off due to a court injunction which the owner of the bar was supposedly trying to obtain to restrain the picketing. In an interview with Maroon reporters earlier this week, Dr. Brady said the purpose of the picketing was to "correct years of past malformation" on racial issues in the South. The incident of the refusal of service to the white student and his black date did not stop at the lounge however. As reported in last week's Maroon, the student was allegedly approached by a Jesuit faculty member and was told that "we here at Loyola frown on that (inter-racial dating) type of thing." This produced a letter from the Office of the President of the university with his signature on it. The letter spoke of a petition having been received by the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., from a group of students asking him to release the name of the Jesuit who supposedly addressed his remarks to the student. Father Jolley said in the letter that it was impossible for him to divulge the name of the alleged Jesuitsince he did not know it. The letter further went on to state the official position of the university regarding affairs on such racial positions. The letter ended with the president stating that "I cannot be responsible for every statement by members of the faculty or of the student body made in private conversation." During the past week the group of pickets met and discussed procedures and strategies for the planned demonstrations. Present at the meeting were a New Orleans lawyer, the Rev. Harold F. Cohen, S.J., university chaplain, leaders of the picketing movement,and interested students. At the meeting, Dr. Brady and Father Cohen said that they had conferred with the owner of the bar and tried to settle the incident with the hopeful outcome of allowing Negroes to be served at the establishment. Brady said that nothing came of the conversation and the owner was steadfast in his attitudes. At the meeting, copies of march rules in relation to picketing were discussed. Leaders of the group stressed a peaceful and generally silent demonstration with just one spokesman for the group.Plans were also discussed about having police protection. At the meeting the Student Council was asked to call an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss the possibility of having an official statement made concerning the event and to ask the student body to boycott the lounge. Tom White, the council president, said that it was impossible to do this because he would rather have the motion brought up from the coucil floor and discusses. This whole issue seems to revolve around whether or not the owner of the bar has the right to serve whomever he choses. The lawyer, John Nelson of Nelson, Ormand.'and Nelson, who attended one of the organizational meetings earlier in the week said he thought that the owner had no right as far as he knew of and thought the owner of the lounge came under the Public Accomodations Act and under the Amusement section of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. These kaws deal with an establishment serving food and providing amusement for its costomers. Cusimano's reportedly serves pizzas and has pinball machines available for amusement. The group of picketers have plans for the future if these planned demonstrations do not achieve their purpose. Leaders of the group plan to take the issue to officials of the university, and public officials. In a related incident, BA junior Ron McKee said he was supposed to have appeared before the Inter-Fraternity council (IFC) to discuss "unfair" patronization by LU on so-called "open bars." McKee said that potential pledges do not get a fair chance to rush a fraternity when "for any reason" a LU student is not allowed in one of these bars. McKee is a Negro and said he was turned away from Cusimano's earlier this year. The meeting, originally scheduled for Wed. evening was canceled, however. According to the IFC's moderator. Dean Sabolyk, this was done because the moderators of campus fraternities would not have been able to attend. Sabolyk had expressed his wish to invite these moderators on the previous day. Sabolyk said the meeting was rescheduled for Wed., March 12, so that the moderators and McKee would be able to attend. To correct years of past malformation Computer science degree approved By LOUIS LASSUS (Maroon Special Reporter) By A&S Curriculum Committee A program for a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science was approved by the Curriculum Committee of the College of Arts & Sciences (A&S) this week. Gregson Payne, chairman of the Department of Computer Science, presented the proposed program to the Curriculum Committee at their meeting Tuesday and after some discussion and explanation the committee approved it. In a later interview, Payne said that he had been trying to institue a computer science major at Loyola since he became chairman of the department two years ago. He said the main obstacle was that he needed more faculty members. Payne said the he had requested that the university hire two additional full-time faculty members and buy a new one-half million dollar computer before his proposed program be approved. He is fairly sure that these two requests will be granted since they will be vital to the operation of his new program, which will begin in September, he said. At present the Department of Computer Science has one fuH-time faculty member and two part-time members. A total of 17 hours (7 courses) are being taught. Payne said that his new program will "double the course offerings" with some being offered every semester. He also said that a conservative estimate of the number of students he expects to have in the department next year is 40. Payne said that since there is no undergraduate program in computer science within 160 miles of New Orleans he expects to draw a great number of interested students both in New Orleans and out of town. Payne noted that he has received approximately three phone calls per week over a period of two years from persons inquiring about the computer science curriculum. He explained that he was going to recruit from local high schools, now that the new program has been approved. He mentioned that some high schools in the city have computers and teach computer science courses. HE expects to get a good number of students from these schools, he said. Payne said that he did not anticipate any competition from data processing schools in the city because his program is on a college level. These data processing schools are "trade schools" and therefore should not interfere with his program, he said. "I anticipate a constant change in the nature of the courses" said Payne. He also expects them to "become more sophisticated as time goes on," he said. He explained that the new computer he has requested the university to buy to replace the present 1620 model will be "one hundred to two hundred times faster and has a printer." The 1620 has no printer on it. The new computer, which will cost $100,000 a year to operate, will take over the duties of the 1620 and allow the students to use the 1620 for various jobs such as problem solving. Before the new program was instituted, the computer science department offered a minor, said GIVING INSTRUCTIONS —Gregson Payne, chairman of the Department of Computer Science, demonstrates to Kerry Leftwich the finer points of the use of the computer. Garsaud named to law post Will succeed Papale as dean Law professor Marcel Garsaud was named this week associate dean of the Loyola law school. In addition, he received the right of succession to the post of dean when dean Antonio Papale retires in the summer of 1970. Garsaud will be the first graduate of the Loyola School of Law to become the dean of the school. He was graduated from the law school in 1959 and has been a professor here since 1963. Dean Papale, who will be 65 next year, and who has been dean of the school since 1951, will continue to have final authority in the school. However, sources indicate the actual arrangement of responsibilities and power in the law school between Papale and Garsaud have not been fi'lly established. One source in the administration speculated that Papale would concentrate on alumni and fund raising affairs, especially relating to the proposed law building, and that Garsaud would take over many of the day-to day duties of operating the law school. This source, however, said that the arrangements have not been worked out completely and added that he expects the working relationship between the two men to evolve in the months ahead rather than to be established firmly immediately. More than one source indicated that Papale and Garsaud are close associates and will have no difficulties establishing a firm working relationship. This is the first time Loyola has an associate dean of the law school. Payne. There was also a BBA degree with a computer science option offered in the College of Business Administration. This was a business program with 26 hours in computer science oriented courses. These two programs will still e continued, he said. "I am certainly elated and it is certainly a challenge," Garsaud said in an interview. He said he feels his appointment is a credit to the Loyola law school because it is a recognition that Loyola law graduates are respected. Garsaud's appointment was announced Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of the law school faculty. His selection was made by a special committee of faculty members and alumni. Garsaud will assume his post as associate dean in August. Dean Papale's retirement date is July 31, 1970, and on that day Garsaud will assume the position of dean. MARCELGARSAUD Appointed associate dean Father Jolley, priest deny charge of racism The Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., said this week that the administration "will not tolerate racism in any form on the part of anyone who speaks for the university." In a mimeographed statement distributed throughout the campus, Father Jolley said he could not divulge, because he did not know it, the name of a Jesuit priest who was reported to have allegedly said that "we here at Loyola frown on" interracial dating. Father Jolley's statement was made in reply to a letter signed by about 40 students asking him to respond to a column in last week's Maroon which told of an alleged conversation between an unnamed Jesuit and an unnamed student concerning interracial dating. In addition, the Maroon contacted the priest the author of the column said was the one involved. The priest denied vigorously that he could be the Jesuit referred to in he column and affirmed his commitment to racial equality. "I would consider it a complete insult for anyone to ever suspect that I would make that kind of idiotic statement," the priest said. The column, written by A&S sophomore Steve Vakas, recounted an alleged incident in which a white male student accompanied by a Negro female student were refused service at a nearby lounge. According to the column, the lounge attendant allegedly told the male student that the establishment does not serve black people. The column also told of an alleged private conversation the next day between the white student and a Jesuit priest, both unnamed, during which the priest allegedly told the boy that "we here at Loyola" disapprove of interracial dating. Father Jolley, in his statement, concerned himself mainly with he account of the conversation between he priest and the student. "It is evident," he said, "that it is impossible for me to divulge the name of the alleged Jesuit since I do not know it. Only the reporter and the person recounting the incident to him know for certain the exact circumstances and I can hardly be held responsible for their statements. "I will not condemn any student or faculty member, lay or Jesuit," Father Jolley asserted. The university president attempted to show that the priest reported as having allegedly spoken to the student was not speaking in the name of Loyola University. He continued: "There are only four Jesuits at Loyola in the Administration, that is, at the rank of ean or above, namely, Fr. Clancy, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Fr. Molloy, Vice President for Student Personnel; Fr. Benedetto, Executive Assistant to the President; and I. 1 am certain that none of us was involved in this incident." "I can state once again the official position of Loyola University," said Father Jolley, "namely, that we will not tolerate racism in any form on the part of anyone who speaks for the University." "I will continue to insist," he said, "that the University as a whole move towards the concrete realization of Christian brotherhood and equality." "In the meantime," he continued, "I cannot be responsible for every statement by members of the faculty or of the student body made in private conversation." On Wednesday Vakas disclosed in confidence the name of the Jesuit he had in mind in the column. He told the name to a select group of Maroon staffmen and advisors on the condition that they not divulge it. A Maroon reporter was sent to talk to the priest whose name Vakas disclosed. It is "beyond my wildest dreams," said the priest, that "anyone would suspect me." He denied any connection with the alleged incident and listed a number of instances in which he has publicly expressed himself in favor of racial justice and equality. On the question of interracial dating, the priest said, "Heavens no, I don't see anything wrong with it." Commenting on the controversy, Maroon editor Ed Anderson said the campus paper had interviews with the priest, the unnamed students and Vakas in an effort to clear up the issues. He said the Maroon, on the basis of these interviews, could not determine what exactly took place between the student and the priest, if they indeed met. The male student affirms his story as told to Vakas and the priest named by Vakas disavows any connection with the incident, explained Anderson. "We cannot disclose the name of the priest," said Anderson, "because it was told to us in confidence and because we feel strongly that unsubstantiated suspicions should not be cast upon this priest."

MASKING THE PROBLEM?: Although many cases of sleep apnea go undiagnosed, researchers have yet to prove whether current treatments (such as the continuous positive airway pressure--CPAP--system, whose mask is shown here) make a significant difference in long-term health and mortality rates.

Brief periods of interrupted breathing during sleep affect an estimated 10 to 25 percent of people in the U.S. A smattering of studies have linked the condition, known as obstructive sleep apnea, to a host of serious health risks, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and even accidents—but long-term, population-based data on mortality overall have been lacking.
A new, 15-year-long study, published online yesterday in PLoS Medicine, followed 6,441 men and women—both with and without the condition—in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's large Sleep Heart Health Study to see if there was any correlation between apnea and a higher risk of death.
During the course of the study, which followed up with subjects after an average of about eight years, 1,047 of the subjects died. After adjusting for age, race, body mass index (BMI) and smoking, the authors found that men ages 40 to 70 with severe apnea (defined as more than 30 incidents of disrupted breathing 10 seconds or longer per hour—8.2 percent of the cohort's men) had about one and a half times higher risk of dying from any cause than those who did not.
The other age, gender and apnea severity groups did not show a statistically significant increased risk, but that doesn't mean they will not be watched carefully. "Our study does not prove that women are not at risk," says Naresh Punjabi, lead study author and an associate professor of medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Not enough of them died or were ill enough to make a statistically sound connection, but researchers will continue to follow this cohort as long as funding allows, Punjabi notes.
The findings do not come as a surprise to the sleep research community. "It's long been believed that sleep apnea increases the rate of death," says David Schulman, an assistant professor of medicine at Emory University in Atlanta who wasn't involved in the study, noting that those with apnea are more likely to have high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. But, he cautions, "it's hard to know for sure that apnea causes these diseases." Many of those with sleep apnea, he notes, tend to be male, older and overweight—increasing mortality rates overall—which makes it hard, he says, to conclude, "Was it the apnea, or was it that the guys were overweight and older?"
But the new research does fill an important hole in the data. Crucially, Punjabi notes: "The cohort is not patients. They actually represent individuals, people like you and me…. This is not a clinical study, but more of a community-based study." The authors even excluded those who, during the study, sought treatment for sleep apnea. Perhaps most important, it was a substantial group. "This is really the grandfather of all sleep–heart studies," Schulman says.
Punjabi and others look forward to formal clinical trials, in which researchers can start testing methods of intervention and treatment to see if they can bring the risk of mortality in check. "We do know for sure that treating apnea does make blood pressure better, but not vastly better," Schulman says. "In terms of things that kill people, heart disease is number one in this country," he notes, which makes any link with apnea a crucial line of research. "We'd love to know mechanistically why this happens."
Those with sleep apnea often suffer from increased sleepiness during waking hours, which can be dangerous when driving—or flying. Last year, two crew members overshot their Hawaiian destination on an inter-island flight after falling asleep when the plane was in cruise mode. No one was hurt, but the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) ruled that the pilot's undiagnosed sleep apnea was likely one of the causes. The NTSB has since recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration screen pilots for signs or previous diagnoses of the disease.
Another recent study, published last week in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, found that as many as 94 percent of adults with Down's syndrome had some sort of obstructive sleep apnea—and in 69 percent of those patients it was severe.

Human-induced climate and hydrologic change is likely to make many parts of the world uninhabitable, or at least uneconomic. Even if there are some "winners" from climate change—perhaps farmers in high-latitude farm regions where the growing season will be extended by warmer temperatures—there will also be large numbers of undeniable losers. Over the course of a few decades, if not sooner, hundreds of millions of people may be compelled to relocate because of environmental pressures.
To a significant extent, water will be the most important determinant of these population movements. Dramatic changes in the relationship between water and society will be widespread, as emphasized in the new report from Working Group II of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change. These shifts may include rising sea levels, stronger tropical cyclones, the loss of soil moisture under higher temperatures, more intense precipitation and flooding, more frequent droughts, the melting of glaciers and the changing seasonality of snowmelt. Combined with the human-induced depletion of groundwater sources by pumping, and the extensive pollution of rivers and lakes, mass migrations may be unavoidable.
Impacts will vary widely across the world. It will be important to keep our eye on at least four zones: low-lying coastal settlements which are especially vulnerable to rising sea levels; farm regions which are dependent on rivers fed by glacier melt and snowmelt; sub-humid and arid regions which are likely to experience greater drought frequency; and humid areas in Southeast Asia vulnerable to changes in monsoon patterns.
A significant rise of sea levels, even by a fraction of a meter, much less by several meters, could wreak havoc for tens or even hundreds of millions of people. One recent study by Gordon McGranahan, Deborah Balk, and Bridget Anderson (2007) found that although coastal areas less than 10 meters above sea level constitute only 2 percent of the world's land area, they contain 10 percent of the world's population. (High-density urban settlements are commonly located on coastlines for convenient access to international trade.) These low-elevation coastal zones are highly vulnerable to storm surges and increased intensity of tropical cyclones—call it the New Orleans Effect.
Hundreds of millions of people may be compelled to relocate.
Regions much further inland will wither. Hundreds of millions of people, including many of the poorest farm households, live in river valleys where irrigation is fed by glacier melt and snowmelt. The glaciers are disappearing, and the annual snowmelt is coming earlier each year, synchronizing it less and less well with the summer growing season.
Thus, the vast numbers of farmers in the Indo-Gangetic Plain and in China's Yellow River Basin will most likely face severe disruptions in water availability. Yet those regions are already experiencing profound water stress due to unsustainable rates of groundwater pumping performed to irrigate large expanses of Northern China and Northern India. Surface water bodies in these regions are already over-appropriated and degraded.
In Africa, all signs suggest that currently subhumid and arid areas will dry further, deepening the food crisis for many of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people. The severe decline in precipitation in the African Sahel during the past 30 years seems to be related to both anthropogenic warming and aerosol pollutants. The violence in Darfur and Somalia is fundamentally related to food and water insecurity. Cote d'Ivoire's civil war stems, at least in part, from ethnic clashes after masses of people fled the northern dry lands of Burkina Faso for the coast. Worse chaos could easily arise.
In Southeast Asia, each El Niño cycle brings drying to thousands of islands in the Indonesian archipelago, with attendant crop failures, famine and peat fires. Some climatologists hypothesize that global warming could induce a more persistent El Niño state; if so, the 200 million people in Indonesia and neighboring areas could experience lasting drought conditions.

Kick off 19:30 GMT at Weston Homes Community Stadium, Colchester United FC
UEFA Euro 2013 Group 8 Qualifier
England - Sordell 39' Kelly 57' Dawson 86' Gardner 90',90'
by Jamie Bradbury at Colchester United FC
Watch Match Highlights from the game right here with FATV England Under-21s continued their perfect start to the season, but were made to work hard before running out comfortable winners against Iceland in Colchester.Little over a year since their last visit to the League One club, when a 3-0 win over Lithuania confirmed their place in the Euro 2011 play-offs, Pearce and his team returned and it looked like they were going to have to again wait until late to make the breakthrough.But this time the Three Lions took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to Marvin Sordell, before Martin Kelly made it two just before the hour. A goal from Craig Dawson and a double from Gary Gardner added a gloss to the finish and capped another good night at the Weston Homes for the Under-21s.England are now halfway through their UEFA European Championship Qualifying fixtures and the win stretches their lead in Group 8 to five points after Norway and Belgium had drawn earlier in the evening.With a number of first-time call-ups in his squad, Pearce handed a debut to Crystal Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne, who was given the left-back slot after Nathan Baker and Joe Bennett were ruled out of the game, and it wasn't long before another first cap was awarded. Pearce also gave a first run to Manchester United WIll Keane as a late substitute for Josh McEachran.For the second game running against Iceland, there was early disappointment for Nathan Delfouneso, who limped off after eleven minutes with a tight hamstring, but was replaced by Newcastle United striker Sammy Ameobi, who was making his Under-21s bow. And almost instantly he carved out two opportunities with powerful runs down the left, but England failed to produce a finish.Sordell also had a shot on goal, which Arnar Petursson saved well to his left, then Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who by this time in the game in Reykjavik a month earlier had scored two of his hat-trick, almost clipped home from the tightest of angles. Unfortunately, the ball carried across the face of goal and away to safety.A piece of Chamberlain magic, a drag back to lose his marker, on the half-hour laid-up Josh McEachran on the by-line who prodded goalwards. The ball ricocheted off the legs of Eidur Sigurbjörnsson and looked to be sneaking inside the post until Petursson gathered.Iceland were looking stronger than a month ago and were themselves posing problems, twice seeing efforts deflected away for corners before Aron Johannsson has a great chance from the edge of the box. But, with time and space, his dipping volley went into the crowd.However, with the half wearing on, England finally found a breakthrough and it was a well-worked strike from Sordell. He found Liverpool man Henderson making a run on the right of the Iceland box and rolled the ball into his path then darted towards the penalty spot, slipping away from his marker. The delivery in was perfect from the captain, as was the finish from Sordell, and the ball found the corner of the net giving Petursson little chance.No sooner had the second half started and Craig Dawson was thinking he'd doubled England's advantage, tucking home from a Chamberlain corner, but the referee awarded a free-kick to Iceland for a foul by the West Brom defender.And the visitors then came close themselves with a free-kick from 25 yards. Johann Gudmunsson took it, and his swerving shot beat the wall and looked to be troubling Jack Butland, but fortunately for the 'keeper the ball just missed the target.With the hour approaching, Kelly struck to make it two with another excellent finish. Picking the ball up with an interception in space inside Iceland territory, he broke clear after beating another defender with his shere power. And with just the 'keeper to beat, he struck the ball with purpose past Petursson and turned away to the crowd, kissing the Three Lions in celebration.Butland needed to be at his best to prevent an almost immediate response from Iceland when Jóhannsson struck a low effort from the edge of the box. The on-loan Cheltenham stopper got a solid hand behind the ball to push it firmly away.Chamberlain was twice scuppered by the Iceland No.1 in the closing ten minutes. First, the Arsenal man looked odds on to score after Sordell's pass had set him through one-on-one. As he went around the 'keeper, Petursson's outstretched hand was enough to guide the ball away from goal and gave his defence enough time to recover.Then, on 86 minutes, after bringing down a sweeping cross-field ball from substitute Gardner and cutting inside his marker, Kristinn Jonsson, Chamberlain fired in a rising angled drive which Petursson tipped over the crossbar.But, when Dawson made it 3-0, heading home from the resulting Henderson corner for his fourth goal in just five Under-21s appearances, it looked to be game over. But that wasn't it, as Gardner had a glorious two-minute spell with the clock ticking past 90.First, he bent a beautiful free-kick from 25 yards past the helpless wall and into the top left-hand corner before sewing the game up in added time with his second. This time, the Aston Villa midfielder collected a pass from Chamberlain on the edge of the box before skidding a low drive beyond Petursson and England were home and hosed.A tricky trip to Belgium now awaits, but another victory there would send Pearce into 2012 a very happy man.We'll bring you all the latest updates for the England Under-21s squad here or via www.twitter.com/thefadotcom

Does Sony's cartoony castle game cross the line?
By Ben Silverman
She's plump, powerful and ready to cause more controversy than "SuperSize Me."
She's Fat Princess, the star of Sony's upcoming video game of the same name. Debuting at last week's E3 expo, the colorful Fat Princess is a capture-the-flag game with a twist: you can thwart capture attempts by locking the once-thin princess in a dungeon and stuffing her full of cake, thereby increasing her girth and making her harder for your enemies to haul back to home base.
According to popular gaming blog Joystiq, two feminist gaming sites have already voiced their displeasure with the weighty issue.
Feminist Gamer's "Mighty Ponygirl" rings in diplomatically, suggesting a new way to play the game altogether.
"Instead of running out into the forest to find cake to fatten up the princess with, why not go out and find gold (which is a lot heavier than cake) to stuff into a treasure chest. The more gold in the chest, the heavier it would be, and the harder it would be to carry," she said, before adding, "Oh, but that's not as "cute" as cake and fat chicks. Right."
Over at Shakesville, however, writer Melissa McEwan cuts to the chase, telling Sony she's "positively thrilled to see such unyielding dedication to creating a new generation of fat-hating, heteronormative ---holes."
Sony has yet to issue an official response, although Joystiq did receive a particularly informative update from James Green, Fat Princess' lead art director, who clued gamers in on the origins of the game:
"Does it make it better or worse that the concept artist (who designed the look, characters, everything) is a girl?"
Hmmm...hope the game's detractors don't mind eating a bit of crow.
Whereas I agree that the game designers could have made the game just as fun with a large treasure-chest the fact is that they didn't. Not because, I believe, they were "typical male *******s" or whatever, it's just the direction they chose to take the game.
If the character had been black there would have been **** about it, if the character was a white male prince there would be no worries about this game whatsoever.
This is just more bull**** people are getting all strung up about.
That's my opinion anyway.

Here's a teaser from Dark Inheritance: Fallen Empire by K Reed.
Like an eviscerated body, the guts of the capital had spilled onto the streets. With what stealth they could manage, they navigated through the clear roads to avoid the piercing howls of rioters tearing through the hollowed buildings.
page 1, Dark Inheritance: Fallen Empire
The once glittering ballrooms of Regency England now lay desolate. A plague has ravaged the countryside. The government has fallen. What vestiges of order remained have been consumed by the endless funeral pyres.
Grayson, once the Baron of Harwich, sought only to protect his people. Rescuing a half-dead woman was not among his plans. But something about her pulled at him. Perhaps it was her beauty, still evident beneath the pallor of loss. Perhaps it was the recently fired rifle at her side. Or maybe he was simply tried of death. All he knew was that the plague had taken too much already. He couldn't let it take her as well.
Lady Juliette Adair had been ready to die with her brother. She didn't expect to be shown mercy in a world that had no room for mercy. When Grayson saved her she questioned his motives but soon found herself intrigued by him, drawn to him.
Societal rules were a thing of the past, dead along with the ton. Juliette had no manner by which to measure her growing closeness to Grayson any longer. But when she discovers he may not be the man she thought she knew more is at stake than just her heart. The secrets she carries could make a king or destroy one.
I chose to read this book because it's a Regency Dystopian story, something very different from what I've seen to date when it comes to historical romances. This is a straight historical with no paranormal elements in sight.
The setting is London 1804. The combination of plague and civil disorder has taken its toll on the people. Those who are still alive struggle to survive with food shortages and finding somewhere safe to live. The glamorous houses and balls of the past are no longer, the plague being a great leveller. The author has taken the English v French war and given her own neat twist and this forms part of the plot. The setting is like another character in this story, bleak and dangerous, and I really liked this aspect of the story.
Grayson Merrick, Baron of Harwich finds Lady Juliette Adair, the sole survivor of the plague at Colonel Bulger's estate. From the first, he is taken with her, and when she survives, he takes a special interest in her. Grayson is strong and determined to keep the people on his Harwich estate alive. He'll do anything to ensure his people are safe, yet Juliette is something he wants for himself. I liked Grayson a lot. He's an honorable man. Although he feels a little guilty at first for taking Juliette into his bed, he comes to rely on her for solace. She is the only thing in his life that's good and pure, a big contrast to the horror and desperation in the outside world. He falls in love with Juliette and thinks of her as his helpmate.
On the other hand, I didn't feel as much sympathy for Juliette. She irritated me with her distrust, and I wanted her to just go to Grayson with her suspicions. I cheered when she finally behaved in the manner I thought she should. Toward the end of the story she redeemed herself in my eyes.
There were times when I felt the plot dragged a little, but the story ended with a bang and a satisfactory conclusion. This is the first book in the series, and it will be interesting to see where the author takes her characters in future.
So, would I recommend this story? Yes, if you want an original setting and something a little different you'll probably like this story. I rate it somewhere between 3 – 4 stars. A good read.
