News, Sports, Entertainment, OpinionTRANSCRIPT
On the day of the biggest foot-ball game of the year, tailgaters will also be able to view original Bat-mobile vehicles on display Satur-day on the Parade Ground .
Warner Brothers Home Enter-tainment Group is hosting a Batmo-bile tour across the United States at major sporting events to promote the home entertainment release of “The Dark Knight Rises” on Dec. 4 , according to a news release.
The day of the home game against the University of Alabama was specifi cally chosen because it draws such a large crowd.
The Batmobiles will be on dis-play from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Parade Ground at the corner of Highland Road and Raphael Semmes Road .
The next stop on the Batmobile tour is New Orleans on Monday .
“The Dark Knight Rises” is the
fi nal fi lm in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy .
Just weeks after 19 -year-old University student Nicole Boover was arrested for allegedly trying to murder her mother on Oct. 8 , she was arrested again Friday for theft and unauthorized use of a debit card.
She has since been suspended from the Uni-versity, LSU Po-lice Department spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said.
Attempted murder wasn’t Boover ’s only crime Oct. 8 . Also that day, her Evangeline Hall room-mate reported to LSUPD that $70 and her debit card were missing from her wallet, Lalonde said.
After further investigation, offi -cers determined the stores where the suspect attempted to use the card, and by looking at surveillance cam-eras, they determined that Boover was the culprit .

EU beer brewers refuse to swallow France’s huge increase on tax
BRUSSELS (AP) — France, the land of wine, is planning heavy taxes on beer, and that is not going down well with brewers — even in other nations.
President Francois Hollande is pushing through legislation to increase taxes on beer by 160 per-cent to help fund struggling social programs as France tries to contain a budget deficit hit hard by the eco-nomic crisis.
The change means the price of a beer will increase by about 20 per-cent in bars and supermarkets, said Jacqueline Lariven, spokeswoman for the French brewer’s federation Brasseurs de France.

Early voting ends Tuesday for Nov. 6 presidential election
(AP) — A record number of people have cast ballots in advance of the Nov. 6 election, as about one of every 10 registered Louisiana vot-ers showed up for the week-long early voting period that wrapped up Tuesday.
The Secretary of State’s Office said more than 280,000 people and counting — out of Louisiana’s 2.9 million registered voters — have voted for next week’s election, which includes the race between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.La. seat belt use at record high of 79.3 percent from 77.7 percent
(AP) — The use of seat belts in Louisiana has reached a record high of 79.3 percent this year. It’s a fac-tor officials say is contributing to the state’s declining highway death rate.
The 79.3 percent rate is an in-crease from last year’s 77.7 percent, which itself matched a previous all-time high.
Preliminary crash statistics for 2011 indicate that Louisiana’s highway death toll declined for the fourth consecutive year. Prior to 2008, the number of traffic fatalities had increased most years.
NEW YORK (AP) — Evoking har-rowing memories of Hurricane Ka-trina, 300 patients were evacuated floor by floor from a premier hos-pital that lost generator power at the height of superstorm Sandy.
Rescuers and staff at New York University Langone Medical Center, some making 10 to 15 trips down darkened stairwells, began their mission Monday night, the youngest and sickest first, finishing about 15 hours later.
Among the first out were 20 babies in neonatal intensive care.

New York Stock Exchange will reopen Wednesday after Sandy
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Stock Exchange will reopen for regular trading Wednesday after being shut down for two days be-cause of Hurricane Sandy.
The exchange said in a state-ment Tuesday that its building and trading floor are fully operational and that normal trading will resume at the usual starting time.
There had been erroneous re-ports Monday that the exchange floor had flooded. Exchange spokesman Ray Pellecchia said the exchange’s building did not have any flooding or damage.
Wild boar attacks and injures four people on Tuesday in Berlin
BERLIN (AP) — Berlin authorities say they shot and killed a 120 ki-logram (265-pound) wild boar after it attacked and injured four people including a police officer in a resi-dential neighborhood.
Police said Tuesday the boar bit a 74-year-old man on the back and leg, and knocked a 74-year-old woman to the ground and injured her hip on Monday afternoon in the Charlottenburg area of the capital. It also bit a 24-year-old woman be-fore she climbed aboard a parked car to safety.

Pot, gay marriage, death-penalty, suicide are ballot-item topics
NEW YORK (AP) — After all the economy-focused campaign talk, voters in some states will get a chance on Election Day to sound off on intriguing topics that the presidential rivals ignored, includ-ing death-penalty repeal, marijuana legalization and assisted suicide.
In all, there are 176 measures on the Nov. 6 ballots in 38 states, according to the Initiative and Ref-erendum Institute at the University of Southern California.
Many are technical proposals by legislators related to state financ-es and regulations.

Hurricane Sandy prompts harrowing NYC hospital evacuation
LONDON (AP) — Anyone who has read a Sherlock Holmes novel can tell you that Scotland Yard equals London police.
Perhaps no longer.London’s police force may
move from its headquarters, known as New Scotland Yard, as it faces making budget cuts of more than 500 million pounds ($800 million).
Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey said Tuesday that it plans to save 6.5 million pounds per year by moving to a smaller building.
The chefs at the University bring diverse culinary backgrounds and experiences to the campus din-ing halls.
Chartwells Dining, the compa-ny behind LSU Dining, conducts na-tional searches for its executive chef positions, said Don Koshis, director of operations for LSU Dining.
“We get lots of inquiries,” Ko-shis said. “A lot of people want to come back to Louisiana or to experi-ence a different area.”
Chefs are required to have a cu-linary degree or 10 years of equiva-lent service to earn the executive chef title, Koshis said.
“We have a detailed process that our company will go through before they will hire an executive chef,” Koshis said. “Years of service and culinary education are extremely im-portant.”
Michael Foster, executive chef and director of The 5, fits both cat-egories, Koshis said.
Foster graduated from the Penn-sylvania Culinary Institute and also studied in Paris, France.
He was living in Huntington, Calif., when he responded to an ad on a national database for a position at the University, Foster said.
After his first interview, Foster returned to California with news for his wife.
“When I went home I said, ‘I’m
not applying anywhere else. I’m go-ing to get that job,’” Foster said.
A few trips to Louisiana and in-terviews later, Foster was on his way to cooking for thousands of students.
Foster’s job description imme-diately changed, as did the responsi-bilities that come with the title “ex-ecutive chef.”
“When you become a chef here that position evolves from cooking into all the administrative stuff,” Foster said.
On a typical day, Foster must ensure that all products necessary for the day’s menu are available at The 5. He must also make sure that ev-erything is clean and that everyone is doing their job.
He makes changes to the menus on the website when there are
substitutions and checks over pro-duction sheets from the day before, Foster said.
Foster has also implemented an “externship” program in correlation with the Culinary School of Loui-siana, said Charlie Casrill, resident dining director.
Students from the Culinary School of Louisiana come in and learn the processes. Some stay and continue their culinary careers at LSU, while others find jobs else-where, he said.
“It’s a big program that [Foster] started that has really benefited us in a lot of ways,” Casrill said.
Most importantly, he must pay attention to what the students are eat-ing and what they are throwing away.
“I look at the trashcan in the
dish room and see what’s thrown away so that I can kind of see what [students] didn’t like,” Foster said. “Then, we either change the recipe or change the product.”
His favorite part of the job is finding a plate with no food to scrape off. It means the students enjoyed the food they ate, he said.
While Foster spends his time in the kitchen, the chefs at the University can be found in other unlikely places.
Both Koshis and Casrill are ex-ecutive chefs by trade.
“We’re not just a bunch of suits walking around,” Koshis said. “That’s what our company is all about, having food people under-stand and operate food operations.”

Every election has its own catchphrases, and this time around, pundits are claiming this will be the most important election in peoples’ lifetimes.
At a panel sponsored by the Paul M. Hebert Law Center last week, Louisiana Commissioner for Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain said this presidential election is one of the most important because “we are on the verge of disaster.”
Strain said America is headed for the fi scal cliff, which is the name given to what could happen to the United States economy if some laws are allowed to automatically contin-ue or expire.
This could happen due to a lack of compromise, leading to govern-mental gridlock.
Political science professor James Garand agreed with those who say this election is the most impor-tant, because every election in recent history has been the same way.
Garand said as a nation, the United States has become more po-larized as years have passed, and this has contributed to the feelings on both sides of the race that if the other side comes to power, it will be “a complete and unmitigated disaster.”
“In Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum elections, where the sides are close together, it doesn’t matter that much,” he said.
The last election of that kind happened in 1976, between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, when, ac-cording to Garand, there were no stark policy differences.
Now, he said candidates have no room for compromise on their plat-forms.
Bob Mann, director of the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs, said the idea that this is the most important election is “a lot of hype.”
Politicians use it to motivate citizens to vote, and it’s understand-able, Mann said.
He acknowledged that some elections have greater consequence
than others, such as the 2000 race be-tween George W. Bush and Al Gore.
He said in the context of war, the 2000 race was the most impor-tant in this generation.
As far as leveling the playing fi eld, Mann said the most important thing a president does is elect Su-preme Court justices, and that is one of the biggest issues in this election, with four justices older than 70.
Then again, this could be ar-gued for each presidential election, he said.
Even concerning healthcare reform, which Mann considers the most divisive issue of the 2012 elec-tion, he doubts Republican presi-dential candidate Mitt Romney will be able to act within a year if he is elected president.
“It’s hard to make the case that this is the most important election in our lifetime,” Mann said.

LSUPD offi cers arrested four juveniles Oct. 22 for burglary and possession of stolen items after re-ceiving reports of children gaining unauthorized access to the LSU Na-tatorium .
When offi cers were notifi ed Oct. 22 , they investigated and found three juveniles. After interviewing them, offi cers were able to identify and locate two other children.
Of the fi ve juveniles — all of whom were male — four were be-tween ages 14 and 10 , and one was nine .
The four older than 10 years old were charged with burglary and pos-session of stolen items. The 9 -year-old could not be criminally charged, because Louisiana only allows chil-dren 10 and older to be charged, Lalonde said.
The boys were released to their parents.

Four juveniles arrested for burglary from the LSU Natatorium
LSU Police Department offi -cers arrested Noel S. Singleton, 21 , on Oct. 25 after offi cers noticed her driving a car around the sidewalks of the Parade Ground .
Offi cers pulled Singleton over at around 2:20 a.m., LSUPD spokes-man Capt. Cory Lalonde said.
She submitted to a chemical test for intoxication, registering .12 per-cent blood alcohol content.
Singleton , of 1411 Salisbury Drive , was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison .
From the fi rst man on the moon to the new millennium — that’s how long LSU went without beating Ala-bama in Tiger Stadium .
Between LSU wins in 1969 and 2000 , the Crimson Tide went 14-0-1 in Baton Rouge , often ending the Tigers’ Southeastern Conference championship dreams in a crushing fashion.
“It was a really strange thing,” said Jim Hawthorne , longtime LSU director of broadcasting . “It didn’t seem to matter how good Alabama was or whether LSU may have been better. There was no rhyme or reason to why they always seemed to win.”
Spanning 10 combined coach-es, three decades and two stadium
renovations, Alabama outscored LSU 343-161 — an average score of 23-10 — in those 15 games.
The road tradition has continued even into this millennium, though LSU has largely fl ipped the script.
The home team has won just six of the last 16 meetings, with the Tigers claiming four of those six victories. In fact, the home team has only won 42 percent of games in the series, excluding ties.
Alabama holds a 24-9-2 advan-tage against LSU in Baton Rouge .
In light of LSU’s ongoing 22-game home winning streak, senior offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk said he couldn’t fathom going 30 years without beating a team in Tiger Stadium .
The best part about football season is basketball is looming right around the corner.
After being robbed of a full slate of games last season due to the lock-out, NBA diehards like me couldn’t wait for the 2012-2013 campaign to get underway last night. Only three contests were on the docket Tuesday, but the majority of teams play their fi rst of 82 games tonight instead of going trick-or-treating.
The NBA is different from all other professional sports leagues be-cause it’s so top heavy.

Jordan Jefferson returns to jail
Home wins vs. Bama still a new commodity
Who will win 2013 NBA Title?MIC’D UPMICAH BEDARDSports Columnist
Chris AbshireSports Writer
A judge ordered former LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson back to jail on Tuesday , and this time he may be there for a while.
District Judge Chip Moore or-dered that Jefferson report to jail at 2 p.m. Tuesday , as well as undergo a substance abuse evaluation.
The order came after Moore ruled that Jefferson’s arrest last week on drug charges was a violation of his bond agreement related to his ar-rest last year.
“We expected this,” said Lance Unglesby , Jefferson’s lawyer. “Jor-dan does not see himself as above the process, and this is a process univer-sally applied by Judge Moore. ”
Jefferson was arrested and charged with simple battery in 2011 for his involvement in a fi ght at Shady’s Bar.
According to reports by WAFB , Jefferson may have to remain in jail until his next court hearing on Dec. 12 , but could be released sooner after undergoing a personal evaluation.
“Jordan is a very humble, fi ne young man and looks forward to the day when all of this is behind him,” Unglesby said.

The L.A. Lakers look on during their preseason NBA game Oct. 21 in Los Angeles. Who will win the NBA title this year? Answer the poll at lsureveille.com.
A daunting playbook. A com-petitive corps. A lack of confi -dence.
Looking back at his time as a Tiger, junior linebacker Kevin Minter fi nds himself in the middle of a surreal season.
“It’s like, man, I just walked on campus and now, I’m being spoken about on ESPN,” Minter said. “It’s a feeling you can’t de-scribe. It’s crazy. I was just on the
bench the other day.”To be fair, he’s not exactly
fresh off the bench, but that must be the modesty talking. Minter started in 11 of LSU’s 14 games last season, ranking fi fth on the team in tackles. Still, he never quite reached the level his team-mates thought possible.
A 20 -tackle game was more like it.
Minter caught the nation’s collective eye with his record-set-ting performance against Florida a month ago and he’s continued to
produce since, racking up nation-al awards and the notoriety that comes with them. And as the heart of LSU’s defense, Minter is com-ing along at just the right time with Alabama looming.
“I always knew he had it in him,” said junior safety Eric Reid . “He just had to show the world.”
That transition was necessary, Reid said, for both of them.
Bunking together during fall camp, Reid and Minter grew close. Both were inheriting the leadership post of their respective
positions. They would sit in their room and discuss their new roles.
They were now the ones who had to set the example. They were now the ones tasked with teaching.
But for Minter , it doesn’t seem that long ago that he was being coddled. Coming into LSU from Peachtree Ridge as Scout.com’s No. 4 middle linebacker, he quickly realized he wasn’t in Su-wanee, Ga. , anymore.

The Humble Tiger
champion Miami Heat . I give you the contenders, pretenders and dark horses in the quest for the 2013 NBA Title .
THE CONTENDERS:Miami Heat
The Heat got help from a foe when Ray Allen ditched Boston for South Beach . With no true center, coach Erik Spoelstra won’t be afraid to send James , Allen , Dwyane Wade , Mario Chalmers and Chris Bosh out on the court at the same time.
Throw Rashard Lewis in the mix and Miami arguably has a better team than the one that captured the 2012 NBA Championship . With a depleted Southeast division, the Heat might win 65 games.Los Angeles Lakers
Just when you thought Kobe Bryant didn’t have enough horses to add a sixth NBA Championship ring, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kup-chak pulled in perennial All-Stars Dwight Howard and Steve Nash .
Acquiring Howard and Nash , along with Oklahoma City trading James Harden to the Houston Rock-ets , puts the Lakers at the top of the Western Conference totem pole. With the best high-low combination, a veteran backcourt of Bryant and Nash , and a dose of the always ex-citing Metta World Peace , anything short of a championship will be a disappointment for the Lake Show .
THE PRETENDERS:San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs are old. Like AARP old.
I’m not taking anything away from the best power forward of all-time, Tim Duncan , or two of the best international players currently in the NBA, Tony Parker and Manu Gino-bili , but let’s face it – the Spurs’ reign of dominance is coming to an end.
San Antonio will once again have one of the best records. I just don’t see them being able to get past
the Lakers , Thunder or Nuggets in a seven-game playoff series.Brooklyn Nets
A new city, new arena and new set of superstar players still won’t mean sniffi ng a title in year one for Brooklyn . The Nets resigning Deron Williams , Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace while adding Joe Johnson gives them one of the best starting fi ves. There’s no question Brooklyn is now the best team in New York City (looking at you, Carmelo An-thony). I don’t think they’re ready to compete with Miami or Boston yet.
THE DARK HORSES:Boston Celtics
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have one more run left.
While losing Ray Allen hurts, the additions of Courtney Lee and Ja-son Terry along with the continuing development of Avery Bradley more than make up for him. Rajon Rondo is the most complete point guard in the game and doesn’t have to im-pact a game by scoring 30 points. If there’s one team that can dethrone the Heat in the East, it’s Boston .Denver Nuggets
Who’s happiest about the Thun-der’s choice to part ways with last season’s NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden ? The Nuggets .
Denver should win the North-west division. It took the Lakers to seven games in the fi rst round of last season’s playoffs and is one of the deepest teams in the league. De-spite the Lakers getting their man in Dwight Howard , you could argue the Nuggets got the better end of the trade by adding Andre Iguodala . Led by Ty Lawson at the point, the Nug-gets will fi nd a way to be in the con-versation for the NBA Title .
Micah Bedard is a 22-year-old history senior from Houma.
Admittedly, freshman diver Cassie Weil had high expectations entering her fi rst collegiate season, but she still can’t wrap her head around what’s fl ashed on the score-board.
Heralded as one of the top fe-male divers in the nation and one of coach Doug Shaffer’s most prized recruits, Weil started her LSU ca-reer on a tear, winning fi ve of her fi rst six competitions while shatter-ing a school record in the process.
A 17-time Junior National fi -nalist , four-time Senior National qualifi er and two-time Senior Na-tional fi nalist , Weil has surprised even herself with the gaudy num-bers she’s consistently put up to begin the season.
“I was expecting to place how I was, but I wasn’t expecting to get the scores I’ve been getting,” Weil said. “I thought I’d be really sore and slower.”
Following in the footsteps of sophomore teammate Alex Bet-tridge , who had a breakout fresh-man season of her own last year, Weil said she strives to keep pace with her teammate both in practice and in competition.
“When I go to meets, she’s the person I look up to and she’s the person I want to beat,” Weil said. “That’s my goal: to beat Alex, be-cause she’s really good and did re-ally good last year.”
Heeding her own advice, Weil kept pace, and then some, in her fi rst collegiate appearance,
shattering Bettridge’s program re-cord in the 3-meter dive by almost six points and scoring 18 of the LSU’s 78.5 points in a dual meet loss to Auburn.
Friends since before they came to Baton Rouge, Weil and Bettridge both said the competi-tion they share is a healthy one, prompting Bettridge to be at her best from day one.
“Last year, I started off pretty slow,” Bettridge said. “Now with her here, I know I have to get into it faster than I normally would. I have to start doing my dives a lot better, a lot faster.”
Calling the situation a coach’s dream, Shaffer said he’s noticed a higher intensity in practice be-tween both divers.
“They’re fi erce competitors,” Shaffer said. “You see the fi re burning in Alex with Cassie hav-ing stepped out in front a little bit. That’s positive and healthy.”
Weil said her adjustment from home in Hillsboro, Ore. has been seamless, except for the weight training, which she wasn’t accus-tomed to in high school.
Filled with lofty goals for the postseason according to Shaffer , Weil will look to equal or better Bettridge’s stellar 2011 NCAA Championships, where she was an honorable mention All-American on the 3-meter and was named Southeastern Conference Fresh-man Diver of the Year .
“She’s got high goals for the championship season,” Shaffer said. “She’s using every opportuni-ty that she can to better [herself].”
While Bettridge said she’s still a bit fl attered that Weil looks up to her, she issued a warning to her young teammate about the meets
to come.“Last year was really good for
me, so you’d want to come in and beat me, but now I want to beat her,” Bettridge said.

Divers battle on the boards
RICHARD REDMANN / The Daily Reveille
LSU freshman diver Cassie Weil dives from the 3-meter diving board Saturday in the LSU Natatorium.
“Chief” Chavis is known for his complicated schemes. This was not a “see ball, hit ball” defense, to which Minter was accustomed.
“The playbook is like an en-cyclopedia,” Minter said, trying to show its size with his thumb and forefi nger extended and separated by several inches of air. “Fresh-man year, it was like, ‘Man, what am I doing?’”
The high school game played right into his instinctual style. Minter never had to study foot-ball before, but he had plenty of time to do just that, toil-ing behind players like Jacob Cutrera and Kelvin Shep-pard . He redshirt-ed his fi rst year and played just enough as a freshman to tally 15 tackles.
Just as it looked like he was a lock for the Mike linebacker posi-tion with Sheppard’s departure to the NFL, Karnell Hatcher , a well-worn senior , was moved from safety to fi ll the void in the spring. They battled through the sum-mer, fall camp and the fi rst half of the season, but Minter eventually sealed the spot, starting the fi nal seven games of 2011.
He would fi nish with 61 tack-les, 3.5 of them for a loss, a sack , a forced fumble and fumble recov-ery , which he fell on in Ole Miss’s end zone ; a solid season for a
fi rst-time starting sophomore . But still, he admits something was missing.
“I had the size, speed and strength to play that position, but I was lacking confi dence to actually make those calls,” Minter said. “I feel like I’m doing that this year and Chief does too.”
Playing against teams like Saturday’s opponent and on a Ti-
ger team like last year’s helped build that confi dence. In the BCS loss, Minter registered fi ve tackles and his lone sack . He continued to per-fect his knowledge of the playbook in the offseason.
Sitting in that room at camp, Reid and Minter knew what they had to do.
“Even last year, he was feel-ing his way through, he still had a presence about him,” said ju-nior linebacker Lamin Barrow . “If there was one thing, he’s been more vocal this year and he’s re-ally putting the team on his back right now.”
So far this season, Minter is ranked fourth in the Southeastern Conference in tackles with 75 , 9.5 of them for a loss, good for fi fth in the SEC, with three sacks. He’s made nine or more tackles in fi ve of eight games. Of course, he set the school record with 17 solo tackles against Florida, coming up one short of LSU’s total tackle record of 21 and earning co-SEC
Defensive Player of the Week . Two weeks later against Texas
A&M, he made 12 tackles and two pivotal plays with a sack and an interception . That performance earned him not only the SEC hon-or, but also the weekly Bronko Na-gurski , Chuck Bednarik and Wal-ter Camp awards.
Even with that kind of recognition, Minter’s teammates said he stays humble. Reid went so far as to say, “He may be the most humble guy you’ll ever meet.”
No matter his 6-foot-2-inch , 245 pound frame; that kind of un-derstatement just begs for a nee-dling.
“If he was on the fi eld for a few more plays, he could’ve been the record-holder around here,” Barrow said of Minter’s breakout performance in Gainesville, Fla. In reply to a simple, recent request by Minter , his bunkmate remembers quipping, “So you make 20 tack-les, now you want me to do stuff for you.”
Joking aside, he has the re-spect of his peers, and the country. He also has six promising fresh-man backers looking up to and learning from him. Minter’s done what he and Reid set out to do, but this may just be the beginning.
“It’s really starting to pay off,” Minter said. “And I’m really starting to play my game.”
“That’s a crazy statistic, es-pecially with the win streak we’ve built,” he said. “It’s tough to even think about the L-word in Tiger Sta-dium . That’s craziness to me.”
Other than a tie in 1985 , it was the only word LSU knew for three decades against Alabama at home.
Charlie McClendon , LSU’s all-time leader in coaching wins, was 1-7 against the Tide in Tiger Sta-dium .
Four times during those 30 years, the Tigers would have won the SEC simply by winning in Baton Rouge .
The most famous loss came in 1979 , when LSU dropped a 3-0 rain-soaked decision to the Tide , who rolled to a national title while aver-aging 34.6 points per game.
The Tigers managed four wins in Alabama during the 1980s and two in the 1990s , but the Tiger Sta-dium voodoo continued, most in-famously in 1998 when Alabama scored 15 points in the fi nal 2:24 to steal a 22-16 win.
Then, Nick Saban came and went.
In his fi rst season at LSU, the Tigers fi nally snapped the streak, beating Alabama, 30-28 , behind two touchdown catches by former tight end Robert Royal and the help of a wacky replay reversal that correctly gave possession back to the Tigers after a fumble.
Starting with that win, LSU leads the series 4-2 at home during this millennium, and most current players are barely aware of the Ti-gers’ former futility against the Tide .
Dworaczyk understood the
implications more than most of his teammates, boasting that Tiger Sta-dium has a little “extra fi re” in it for the crimson-clad visitors, perhaps because of the their longtime domi-nance there.
“There’s a lot of reasons for that extra intensity, but losing isn’t in the plans anymore,” Dworaczyk said. “The fact that, for some of the older generations, it’s still something new seeing LSU beat Alabama here — You can feel and hear it. We’ve been taught here to respect the teams before us, to take what they did and build on it.”

This Halloween, there are spookier things than ghosts or the number of women’s costumes at-tempting to make cats and other household pets sexy.
For a real thriller, look no further than the flagrant manipu-lation of religion occurring in our own state.
Televangelist Jesse Duplantis and his ministry based in Destre-han, La. scare me more than the harbingers of hell in Free Speech Alley. I at least admire their con-viction, but Duplantis is less genuine than the thanks received by your neighbor who gives out “healthy candy alternatives” on Halloween night.
While religion can be a won-derful thing, providing commu-nity, solace and moral grounding, it is susceptible to human abuses. If you’re unfamiliar with Duplan-tis, here’s a quick rundown: He’s charismatic, an excellent orator and spouts Bible quotes like no-body’s business. He’s also a chief perpetrator when it comes to un-scrupulous religious practices.
His extravagant personality can’t be contained to the stage of his mega-church and seeps into every aspect of his life, includ-ing his $100,000 car and third private jet. He blurred the line between religious and frivolous most recently when he purchased a $3 million, 35,000-square foot plantation home with church do-nations, claiming it under Jesse Duplantis Ministries to maintain tax exemption.
How does Duplantis manage to make such conspicuous pur-chases without raising the ire of those who follow him? For one, Jesse is wilier than other dime-a-dozen shameless televangelists.
If you remember reading about the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther’s criticism of selling indulgences, you know religious exploitation is nothing new. As a result, some televange-lists have resorted to wacky tac-tics to get your money.
Danny Davis, master of the secret mullet — you know, the kind that can’t be seen head-on
— peddles “No Evil Oil” and “Fa-vor Prayer Cloths.” Peter Popoff, who disappeared briefly after being exposed as a fraud, asks you to buy his DVD “Prosperity Thinking: God’s Dynamic Forces That Bring Riches to You!” and gives “free miracle spring water.” The water rids you of disease and poverty, but only after sprinkling the enclosed “sacred Dead Sea Salt” on a $27 check addressed to Popoff.
While these gimmicks may seem obvious, Jesse is a less bla-tant subscriber to the so-called prosperity gospel. According to Pete Evans, an investigator from the religious watchdog group the Trinity Foundation, the prosperity gospel posits that “if you give ‘x’ amount of dollars, you’re going to get that multiplied and given back to you [by God].”
Head of the Trinity Founda-tion Ole Anthony has cited the prosperity gospel and preachers like Duplantis as the cause of the overwhelming number of home-less and poverty-stricken people
who visit his soup kitchen. Du-plantis disagrees.
“You know, it’s OK to make money. You serve a Jewish God! He ain’t broke and neither should you be,” he exclaimed in his DVD “Strike 1, Strike 2, Strike 3: Satan’s Out!”
Duplantis argued that it was the love of money, not money itself, that’s bad. The distinction between the two becomes dif-ficult to make, however, when Duplantis has been caught using the church-funded jet for multiple vacations, including a 17-day trip to Hawaii that racked up a calcu-lated $40,000 in fuel and storage fees.
Actions like that should be red flags for congregation mem-bers, but like the big questions in life, even minute dealings with religion are complicated. Cathy Roe, a woman impoverished by Popoff, told Inside Edition she felt she was “brainwashed” by watching him on television.
I find it difficult to believe all of Duplantis’ followers are under
a spell, though. Instead, they seek what we all seek: hope that our lives will improve, that someone cares and that there’s more than what’s readily seen by the eye.
They can’t be faulted for the misdeeds of Duplantis, but it’s important that we all exercise a little caution when choosing our religious conduit. Sometimes, the best we can do is point out incon-sistencies.
The Bible tells us, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Jesse Duplantis tells us in his DVD, “I respect the Pope, but what are you mad at me for? He got a jet. The president got a jet and we bought it.”

In response to Kate Mabry’s col-umn, “AFA’s bigotry may have se-rious consequences on children,” readers had this to say:
“Ironically, NOT ONE of the SPLC’s top executives is a minority.
In fact, despite being located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. Martin Luther King’s home church in Montgomery, the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of authority in its entire 41-year history.
Even its laughably named ‘Teaching Tolerance’ program, which purports to promote diver-sity in the K-12 classroom has been led by ‘whites only’ for 20 of its 21 years.
One has to wonder who the white millionaires who run the SPLC ‘mix it up’ with at lunch? Shouldn’t they lead by example and practice what they preach?
Also, regarding the schools ‘canceling’ the Mix It Up program, the SPLC included hundreds of schools on its list that never asked to participate in the first place, just to pad its numbers. Every school on the SPLC’s extensive mailing list was classified as participating.
Many of these so-called “can-cellations” were simply schools re-questing to be taken off the mailing list.
There are two sides to every story.”- rkeefe57
In response to Tesalon Felicien’s column, “Distrust in media still alive in African Americans,” read-ers had this to say:
“This article was on point and so true. I don’t understand why its in the opinion section when it’s all facts. The media is always quick to display African Americans as un-derachievers and criminals instead of also showing the black people who make such a great positive dif-ference in the world that the world would not have been the same with-out them. The insight on the pursuit of money in American was truly mind opening as well.”- bsmi157

The war in Afghanistan is wind-ing down, but the drone wars are set to last forever.
The Washington Post’s Greg Miller reported last week that Presi-dent Barack Obama’s administration is codifying the use of its kill or cap-ture lists for future administrations – a decision that will “institutionalize” targeted killing, creating a “counter-terrorism infrastructure capable of sustaining a seemingly permanent war.”
Unfortunately, when it comes to “kill or capture,” the Obama admin-istration has shown a tendency to go with “kill.” Permanently institution-alizing this policy may cause more harm than good.
The administration is consoli-dating its lists from the Pentagon and CIA into one large database, dubbed the “disposition matrix.”
Similarly, the CIA is moving to become a paramilitary force rather than a predominantly intelligence-gathering one, and the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command is es-tablishing a targeting center across the Potomac River to streamline the targeted killing process for future ad-ministrations.
It’s no secret the Obama ad-ministration has embraced the use of drones and targeted killings as part of its counterterrorism strategy, shaping its offense from a page straight out of the Bush administration’s playbook .
And that’s no hyperbole. Drone strikes and the kill or
capture lists are a neo-conservative’s wet dream, which is why Republican nominee Mitt Romney had no com-plaint against them when debating against the president.
Yet many “liberals” have turned a blind eye to this policy and its dev-astating effects.
Drone strike casualties are ex-pected to exceed 3,000 soon, a mile-stone in remembering the deaths of Sept. 11. Unfortunately, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) reports that as many as 1,105 of those killed were innocent civilians, including up to 213 children.
The government has claimed that its civilian casualty rate is near zero, which is unsurprising if you are aware of how the government counts drone casualties.
Official Obama administration policy revealed by the New York Times is to count all adult males killed in these strikes as “militants” whether they are or not.
Think about that the next time you read a headline detailing the deaths of “militants.”
A study released by NYU and Stanford last month came to a simi-lar conclusion as the TBIJ and also revealed that drones are terrorizing the local population where they are mostly used, noting strikes against rescuers and funeral mourners.
The study even reiterated a point many of the policy’s critics have stated against drones – that they “facilitated recruitment” for terrorist groups and have “motivated further violent attacks.”
If the long-term strategy is to make us safe and stop terrorism, then drones seem ineffective.
This information would have outraged liberals and Democrats five years ago, but there hasn’t been much fuss since Obama took office.
But what’s most worrying about this “disposition matrix” is that it is set to become a staple for United States’ counterterrorism in the years to come.
This makes me wonder: How would liberals feel with Romney at
the helm of these powers?And with a kill list that can in-
clude an American citizen, such as Anwar al-Awlaki? With a policy that records all adult males killed as “militants?”
Jingoist apologia for kill or cap-ture has been frequent among liberal pundits.
Just last week, Time columnist Joe Klein said the “bottom line” is “whose 4-year-old gets killed.” Maybe it’s just me, but that argu-ment sounds exactly like what we’ve heard from the very people we’re supposed to be combating.
And I’ve heard similar
statements from University profes-sors.
This might be blasphemy to some, but an American life is not worth any more than an innocent Ye-meni’s. Or an innocent Pakistani’s. Or an innocent life anywhere.
By institutionalizing this “dis-position matrix” and the use of drones, we will only cause more harm to these innocents around the world and perhaps eventually to our-selves.
As a country, we should forgo what is easy when dealing with a ter-rorist threat, and pursue something better — something that doesn’t
result in unnecessary civilian deaths (and attempts to cover them up), something that doesn’t breed future terrorists and keep us in harm’s way.
Otherwise, what are we fighting for?
David Scheuermann is a 20-year-old mass communication and computer science junior from Kenner.
Unsurprisingly, the East Baton Rouge Metro Council passed, in an 8-3 vote last Wednesday, an amend-ment that relaxes liquor laws in Ba-ton Rouge on Sundays.
Mayor Kip Holden will have 12 days to sign or veto the amend-ment. If he does not sign within the 12 days, the amendment will become law Nov. 5.
Though loose drinking laws and culture are fairly redundant subjects in South Louisiana, this particular instance has its uniqueness.
Two factors make this amend-ment nearly ineffective: religion and college football.
First, being that Baton Rouge is not as heavily Catholic as other areas of South Louisiana, it is as
Christian-based as any other South-ern town is.
Simply put, the general consen-sus in our area is that Sundays are the Lord’s Day. Sunday is for church, large midday dinners and lazy naps.
With the amendment having passed, I would like to thank God for only a seven-day week. Seven days out of the week to drink would cer-tainly shave a couple of years, per we will always need a day off.
The slow-paced Sunday is an establishment in Louisiana and the South. It’s the day typically utilized to get our lives back in order for at least another five days. Fast times on Louisiana Friday and Saturday nights would make any Heineken-drinking-Yankee’s liver show early signs of cirrhosis. I’d give a Yankee two days of rest for every one that a Louisiana man needs.
Bill Nickel, a chemical engi-neering senior, denotes his Sun-days as “more of a day for moral
intoxication,” and cannot see the new amendment really affecting his Sundays.
“If anything,” Nickel said, “Sundays are composed of vows never to drink again, but we all know how that plays out.”
Sunday mornings in college hardly exist — by the time you can recall last night’s shenanigans, the dosage of guilt usually drives the car to church itself. And after you make peace with the Big Man upstairs, at least for another week, it’s time to read those chapters you promised yourself you would never read on Friday or Saturday.
It’s no secret, thanks to ’70s country band Alabama, that Louisi-ana Saturday nights are infamous. Along with bellies full of beer and a possum in a sack, brothers Bill and Jack are usually left with a headache and the shakes.
Sentiments from ocal bar man-agers and owners seem to be mixed.
Some see it as a new opportunity for people to go out after Sunday events, but others are hesitant because of lackluster food service in bars — they don’t see people coming out only to “party” on a Sunday.
Stores will also be allowed to open and sell alcohol just as they would on any other day. This should aid our Bloody Mary brunch habits.
But the only time of the year where I see it having some kind of effect would be during the NFL season. However, being that Baton Rouge is easily written up as a col-lege town that lives for Saturdays, NFL football does not draw the at-tention, or the thirst, that Saturday nights in Death Valley do.
Sundays are also days of feasts, and football fans are notorious grub-bers. But I find that if anyone were to work up a severe buzz in Baton Rouge for an NFL game, it would be over buffalo wings, cheese fries or a backyard BBQ pit.
It’s exhausting enough to run a 14-hour beer-drinking marathon and put your heart, soul and vocal chords into a team that seems to bask in fingernail-biting games. My Sunday afternoons watching the Saints and old Westerns, though just as heart-wrenching, are tamer and much less physically demanding.
The law could create some tax revenue from liquor sales, but this growth in revenue should prove to be miniscule.
It’ll be interesting to see what Tigerland bar comes up with the most clever drink deal on Sundays.
Sake Bomb Sunday, anyone?

LOS ANGELES — A decade since George Lucas said “Star Wars” was fi nished on the big screen, a new trilogy under new ownership is destined for theaters after The Walt Disney Co. an-nounced Tuesday that it was buying Lucasfi lm Ltd. from him for $4.05 billion.
The seventh movie, with a
working title of “Episode 7,” is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The trilogy will con-tinue the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond “Return of the Jedi,” the third fi lm released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new “Star Wars” movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as cre-ative consultant in the new movies.
“I’m doing this so that the fi lms
will have a longer life,” Lucas, the 68-year-old creator of the series and sole owner of Lucasfi lm, said in an interview posted on YouTube. “I get to be a fan now. ... I sort of look forward to it. It’s a lot more fun actually, than actually having to go out into the mud and snow.”
Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lu-casfi lm had already developed an extensive story line on the next tril-ogy, and “Episode 7” was now in
early-stage development. He said he talked with Lucas about buying the company from him a year and a half ago, but they didn’t decide on a deal until recently as Lucas set in motion his retirement.
“The last ‘Star Wars’ movie release was 2005’s ‘Revenge of the Sith’ — and we believe there’s sub-stantial pent-up demand,” Iger said.
The blockbuster deal an-nounced Tuesday will see Disney
pay half the acquisition price in cash and half in newly issued stock. The company expects it to add to earnings in 2015.
LSUPD offi cers obtained a warrant for Boover ’s arrest, and with help of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Offi ce , they arrested her in Jefferson Parish .
Offi cers brought Boover back to Baton Rouge where she was booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison .
An even stranger twist in the case happened Oct. 24 when Boover and her mother appeared holding hands in a New Orleans court, The Times-Picayune reported.
Sherri Boover , Nicole’s moth-er, took the stand asking the court to repeal the stay-away order put in place against Boover since she was released from jail on bail Oct. 18 .
Sherri Boover said she was no longer afraid of her daughter, and the order was lifted.
Boover is expected to stay with
her father for the time being.Boover was initially arrested
Oct. 8 after she tried to shoot her mother with a handgun around 4:30 a.m. at her mother’s New Orleans residence. Boover fl ed from New Orleans to Baton Rouge , where she was arrested in her Evangeline Hall residence hall room.
Inheritance money appeared to be the motive.
Around 4:30 p.m. that same day, LSUPD arrested environmen-tal engineering student Nathan An-drew Yuhas, 18, of 2065 Harts Lane in Conshohocken, Pa. , for principal attempted fi rst-degree murder.
Boover offered Yuhas $50,000 to help her, according to court reports.
