Friday afternoon will provide a matchup of the Southeastern Confer-ence’s two most quotable, quirky coaches – LSU’s Les Miles and Ar-kansas’ John L. Smith . Here’s a snapshot of both men and their most memorable remarks to the media and fans.
Louisiana residents have a reason to be more thankful for their Thanksgiv-ing meals this year.
The 2012 cost of Thanksgiving will be slightly more expensive for Louisianians compared to last year.
This year’s cost will aver-age about $44.35 for 10 people to eat, which is 13.2 percent more
expensive than last year’s aver-age of $39.19 , according to the LSU AgCenter .
The AgCenter ’s average was determined through a sur-
vey based on an American Farm Bureau Federa-tion shopping list that includes tur-
key, stuffi ng, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream

LAWSUIT
Former tennis coach suing LSU

Two men were shot in their hands during an armed robbery on East Boyd Drive early Tuesday morning.
Four men were walking on the 700 block of East Boyd Drive when they were approached by a black male wielding a handgun, said Baton Rouge Police Department Spokes-man Cpl. Tommy Stubbs .
Two of the men attacked the gunman, and in the ensuing fi ght, the gun discharged, striking both men in their right hands. The suspect fl ed on foot and was not apprehended.
Petroleum engineering fresh-man Phillip Smith, who was in the area, said he heard a gun shot around 1:30 a.m. and saw two men running and screaming toward Shady’s Bar.
Smith said he went to investi-gate and saw the pair of men bleed-ing and clutching their wounds. One of the men who was shot passed out a few times, Smith said.
Smith confi rmed one of the men shot was general business stu-dent Jeff Henley, who was arrested last Friday for a DWI after driving a BMW into the lake near Miller Hall.
Former LSU women’s tennis coach Tony Minnis fi led a lawsuit Tuesday against the University and several high-ranking Athletic Department offi cials, including Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva, for race-based discrimination.
According to an NBC33 re-port, Minnis said he made ap-proximately $30,000 less than white coaches in similar positions and Alleva threatened to fi re him when he brought up the subject.
Alleva declined to comment on the matter Tuesday night.
“It is not our practice to com-ment on litigation,” said Senior Associate Athletics Director Herb Vincent. “We deny the allegations made in the lawsuit.”
LSU didn’t renew Minnis’ contract in May after his 21st season as the Lady Tigers’ head coach.
“I confronted Mr. Alleva about it and tried to get an ex-planation,” Minnis told WAFB. “It made absolutely no sense in light of the fact that I had just seen him on a TV interview basically acknowledging that we had very poor facilities and how tough it was to recruit and compete.”
Senior Women’s Administra-tor Miriam Seger, Associate Ath-letic Director Eddie Nunez and the LSU Board of Supervisors were also named in the lawsuit.
Minnis was LSU women’s tennis’ all-time winningest coach, going 285-134 in 21 seasons at LSU while leading the Lady Ti-gers to 15 NCAA Tournament appearances. But LSU com-piled three consecutive sub-.500 records his fi nal three seasons.

Church of England says no to allowing women to serve as bishops
LONDON (AP) — The Church of England’s governing body blocked a move Tuesday to permit women to serve as bishops in a vote so close it failed to settle the question of female leadership and likely condemned the institution to years more debate on the issue.
The General Synod’s daylong debate ended with the rejection of a compromise that was intended to unify the faithful despite differing views on whether women should be allowed in the hierarchy, but backers failed to gain the necessary majority by six votes.Egyptian authorities arresting child protesters, rights group says
CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authori-ties arrested more than 300 chil-dren during protests in Cairo over the past year, beating and torturing some and trying many as adults, a leading international rights group said Tuesday.
Human Rights Watch said in a report that the arrests and treatment of detained children violated Egyp-tian and international law.
Clashes resumed Tues-day in downtown Cairo at the site of a bloody confrontation a year ago between protesters and the military.
Dark matter detector in South Dakota mine nearing activation
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sci-entists hoping to detect dark mat-ter deep in a former South Dakota gold mine have taken the last major step before flipping the switch on their delicate experiment and say they may be ready to begin collect-ing data as early as February.
What’s regarded as the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector was lowered earlier this month into a 70,000-gallon water tank nearly a mile beneath the earth’s surface, shrouding it in enough insulation to hopefully isolate dark matter from cosmic radiation.‘Sesame Street’ Elmo actor Kevin Clash resigns amid sex allegation
NEW YORK (AP) — Elmo pup-peteer Kevin Clash resigned from “Sesame Street” on Tuesday amid allegations he sexually abused un-derage boys, bringing an end to a 28-year career in which he turned the furry red monster into one of the most beloved — and lucrative — characters on TV and in toy stores.
“Personal matters have divert-ed attention away from the impor-tant work ‘Sesame Street’ is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer,” the 52-year-old performer said in a statement.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisi-ana’s unemployment rate dropped to 6.6 percent for October, down from 7 percent in September, and 7.1 percent for October 2011.
Tuesday’s report from the Bu-reau of Labor Statistics showed total employment of 1,940,995 in October. The September figure was 1,927,850.
The number listed as unem-ployed fell to 137,785 in October from 144,216 in September.
The labor force grew, ac-cording to the report, which said there were 2,078,780 people in the workforce in October.

Prosecutor: Indianapolis blast that killed two people was not accidental
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The house explosion in Indianapolis that killed two people and left a neigh-borhood in ruins was not an acci-dent, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Marion County Prosecutor Ter-ry Curry told The Associated Press that city arson investigators and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had con-cluded the Nov. 10 blast, which also destroyed five homes and damaged dozens more, was not an accident.
Officials announced Monday that the probe was a criminal homi-cide investigation.
Israeli airstrikes kill three Palestinian journalists in their cars

Later Tuesday, an Israeli air-strike hit a building that houses the office of the French news agency Agence France Presse. An agency photojournalist who was in the of-fice at the time said the target ap-peared to be two floors above him. No one was injured and the agency

Tangipahoa Parish School Board to propose desegregation plan
AMITE (AP) — The Tangipahoa Parish School Board will seek pub-lic input on cost-saving alternatives to the district’s current desegrega-tion plan, including the addition of more magnet schools.
Attorney Bob Hammonds said the board met in executive session for more than five hours Monday to discuss ways to effectively deseg-regate the parish’s schools without spending an estimated $54.5 mil-lion to build three new elementary schools as required under a court-ordered desegregation plan.

The Faculty Club restaurant began its transformation into The Club at LSU Union Square in Au-gust, and has since seen an increase in reservations and Paw Point sales.
The transformation included changes such as extended hours, new menu items and a Game Day Oasis.
Before the change, The Club only offered weekday lunch hours. It is now open for dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“If anything, [the transforma-tion] just added a different level of service to The Club,” said Jonathan Miller, general manager of The Club. “Before, we did weddings or rehearsal dinners, so that was catered to a certain person. Now we’re open to the public.”
The new menu, which features pan-seared scallops and curry dust-ed lamb chops, has received posi-tive feedback, Miller said.
“Yes, we’ve rebranded and en-hanced a couple of things, but the
menu has been pretty much the star of the show,” said Dean Samuels, LSU Dining marketing director.
The Game Day Oasis, which offers an a la carte menu, has attrib-uted to a rise in reservations, Miller said.
The Oasis is open from noon to kickoff on game days.
While there has been a notice-able increase in Paw Point usage,
Miller said there is no way to track whether it is students who are using the Paw Points.
“We can track Paw Points, but it’s hard to tell whose Paw Points are being used because there are different types,” Miller said.
Multiple Paw Point accounts make it difficult to determine whether students or non-students are using them to pay for meals,
Samuels said. The Club has been open for
four months and is serving a steady flow of people, Samuels said.
“Last Friday we had 48 tables for dinner,” Samuels said. “For a new restaurant in its fourth month, that’s not average.”
The Club will host a Holiday Buffet open to the public Dec. 10 to
14. It will be similar to the Thanks-giving Buffet which began Monday and will run through lunch today, Miller said.

Social work professor Cath-erine Lemieux spent four years researching the logistics and ef-fects of therapeu-tic communities in secure treat-ment facilities for juveniles.
Lemieux said she followed 226 juvenile non-violent offenders through therapeu-tic communities in three confi ne-ment facilities in Louisiana.
Though she could not observe whether the program proved suc-cessful, Lemieux said she tracked 82 percent of the 226 juveniles for two years. Of that percentage, only 10 percent returned to cus-tody for a new charge.
“The research consistently shows that the [therapeutic com-munities] approach is one of the most effective,” Lemieux said.
Therapeutic communities, or TC , involve groups like substance abuse treatment, which discusses ways to prevent relapse, support and education groups and com-munity groups, which address any living problems among the juveniles.
Lemieux said many of the juveniles have children, so the facility provides parenting edu-cation as well.
Facilities initially used TC for adult heroin addicts, but the program became a popular treat-ment for juveniles in the 1990s . Lemieux said out of the research group, 93 percent of the children smoked marijuana, more than three-fourths drank alcohol on a regular basis and many smoked cigarettes. The average age was 16 .
Although effective, Lemieux said TC is not gaining speed as a way to treat juveniles. She said Louisiana stood as the only state to use its grant funding for TC and uniquely used it for both boys and girls.
“This type of program is very expensive to fund, and without support, TC is generally not pro-vided,” she said.
Lemieux said though preven-tion costs less than trying to fi x the problem in the community, politicians usually support get-ting the offenders off the street and in jail than using preventive tactics.
Social work professor Juan Barthelemy said the outcome of prevention is not as tangible as controlling the existing problem, which occurs more visibly in communities.
“People feel better about
spending money and allocating resources to a problem that is most proximal,” Barthelemy said.
He said poor education and violent crimes correlate, and prevention proves to be the best approach to stop juvenile crime. Children start to use drugs at ear-lier ages than before, and Bar-thelemy said it is more of a chal-
lenge to get the children to stop than to prevent them from using the drugs initially.
A f t e r c a r e treatment is also effective in help-ing juveniles refrain from re-turning to their old ways, but Lemieux said right now there
is less aftercare treatment than TC . It all boils down to funding, she said.
She said she is not sure whether Louisiana still contin-ues the TC program, but if secure treatment facilities have stopped, inadequate funding is to blame.
As a result of the way the state prioritizes funding, Lemieux said few people get treatment, but juveniles are more likely to get treatment than adults.
Most are victims of poverty, racism, trauma and few-er educational opportunities, and Lemieux said the problems re-quire the investment of the com-munity. She said TC takes care of what the community cannot.
“The children who end up in secure treatment have made mis-takes and have broken the law, but they also represent some of the most disadvantaged children in our state,” she said.

Many fans expected the Battle for the Golden Boot to be another high-implication matchup prior to the start of the 2012 regular season with both LSU (9-2) and Arkansas (4-7) highly ranked in the preseason polls.
But when No. 8 LSU travels to Fayetteville, Ark., it will take on a Razorback squad that fell into an abyss early in the season and never fully recovered.
“[Looking at] Arkansas , I think they’re a talented team,” said LSU coach Les Miles . “We watched the
fi lm, and you can see why they were ranked in the top 10 to start the sea-son.
The Tigers are looking to fi nish the 2012 season on a high note, and with a BCS bowl game on the line, LSU needs to be victorious Friday.
“Overall, we need to fi nish,” Miles said. “That’s still the goal. We don’t control our destiny, but there’s some destinations out there that this team would love to be a part of.”
Arkansas , who was ranked No. 10 in both the USA Today and AP top-25 preseason polls , only had one week to maintain that status. After a 49-24 blowout against Jacksonville State , the Razorbacks hosted the
University of Louisiana at Monroe .It was a contest that blew up
every sports media outlet. Unranked ULM marched into
Little Rock, Ark. and conquered the Razorbacks , winning 34-31 in over-time .
The mighty fell, and they fell, and then fell some more.
The Razorbacks have since lost seven games, and now the Tigers will see an unusually poor Arkansas squad heading into the 2012 season fi nale .
Miles isn’t buying into his op-ponent’s record this week, though.
“They’re still there,” Miles said. “They are quality players, and they
play hard. John L. Smith is in a tough position. It’s his last game, but I’m sure he’ll have them ready, and I’m sure this Arkansas team will play in-spired.”
The Razorbacks have given the Tigers trouble in the past.
Since 2005 , LSU is 4-3 against Arkansas , but three of the four victo-ries were by a margin of fi ve points or fewer . The Razorbacks have won their last two home contests against LSU , putting extra pressure on the Tigers to fi nish the season on a high note en route to a BCS bowl game.
“For us, we want to fi nish out
While the Tigers hit the vol-leyball around before practice Monday, a raucous eruption ren-dered any running recordings in-audible for a few seconds.
Senior defensive specialist Sam Delahoussaye — all 5 feet, 5 inches of her — blocked 6-foot-4 sophomore middle blocker Madi Mahaffey , setting her teammates off into a cheering chorus and prompting her coach to proclaim it her possible fi rst block ever.
“I’m glad that happened be-fore you fi nished,” LSU coach Fran Flory yelled from the side-lines. “Nothing like the last
practice, monumental moment.”When Flory walked in 15
minutes earlier, practice was sur-prisingly already in full swing. The team had a game to prepare for, but she wasn’t about to break this up.
“I can’t say I’ve had many teams that on the last day of practice, I’d walk in the gym and they’d be playing, and having a great time playing together,” Flo-ry said, watching her team cut up and laugh.
When Arkansas comes into the PMAC on Wednesday, LSU won’t be playing to advance be-cause its season was over long

LSU then-sophomore defensive end Barkevious Mingo (49) goes to tackle Arkansas then-junior quarterback Tyler Wilson (8) in the Tigers’ 41-17 victory over the Razorbacks on Nov. 25, 2011 in Tiger Stadium.
LSU struggled with the North-western State full court press for much of Tuesday night’s sec-ond half and nearly surrendered a 21-point lead, but finally found its stroke from the free throw line to secure a 102-95 at the PMAC.
Sophomore guard Anthony Hickey paced the Tigers (3-0) with a career high 21 points and six as-sists, while junior forward Shavon Coleman carried over his momen-tum from last week with a 22-point performance off the bench.
“I knew coming in it would be a hard fought basketball game,” said LSU coach Johnny Jones. “Even with the lead, I told our guys the game was far from over.”
Returning from a strained calf, sophomore forward Johnny O’Bryant III showed no ill effects, chipping in 13 points and six re-bounds before fouling out late in the second half.
Both Hickey and O’Bryant la-mented the “tick tack” fouls called by the referees, but did not use the combined 62 fouls and 86 free throws as an excuse for almost sur-rendering a lead.
“Coach Jones just told us, ‘Stay focused in the game, don’t worry about the refs,’” Hickey said. “We’ve got a basketball game to win.”
Demon forwards James Hulbin and DeQuan Hicks took advantage of LSU’s foul trouble on the inside, torching the Tigers for 29 and 28 points, respectively.
Jones said his team’s shoddy defense coupled with 21 turnovers and 22 missed free throws troubled him, but he promised to rectify those mistakes.
“If we knock our free throws down, you’re talking about a 20 or 25-point basketball game,” Jones said. “We’ve been in some tough situations, but I was pleased that at the end … the experienced guys were on the floor and they were able to finish the game out the right way.”
Down by as many as six in the first half, the Tigers received a spark from seldom used 7-foot-3 center Andrew Del Piero, who logged the first first-half minutes of his career.
Del Piero scored four points and grabbed two boards to propel a 22-5 run that sent the Tigers into the locker room with a 52-38 lead.
“I was really pleased with the way [Del Piero] was able to move his feet out there,” Jones said. “They went with a small lineup, he did a great job defending and keep-ing the guy in front of him.”
Never say never — Justin Bieber taught me that.
Maybe J-Biebs needs to give some advice to those sitting out-side the BCS top two, because the race for the national championship is far from over.
I was easily the grumpiest per-son on campus Monday morning. You would have been too if the first thing that came to your mind upon waking up was Notre Dame being No. 1 in the BCS standings.
Someone check on Lou Holtz to make sure he hasn’t keeled over in excitement.
The BCS has once again been turned on its head, and I love it.
Alabama losing to Texas A&M is so two Saturdays ago. No. 1 Kansas State took a thumping from Baylor 52-24 on the road and No. 2 Oregon lost to Stanford 17-14 after a controversial touchdown call sent the game into overtime.
And now here we are: two weeks of regular season football left with one unbeaten team re-maining at the top.
Like last season, No. 2
Alabama found the perfect week to lose and now is right back in the national championship picture.
But don’t think for a second Notre Dame and Alabama meet-ing up in the BCS Championship Game in Miami, Fla. is a done deal.
Two BCS standings ago, ev-eryone was convinced Alabama and Oregon couldn’t be touched and would waltz to the national title game. Whoops.
Fans don’t realize the pressure being at the top of the BCS stand-ings brings. It’s easy to go under the radar and pile up wins.
When faced with performing on the biggest stage, some teams crumble under the bright lights.
Being the agent of chaos that I am, I’m rooting for the BCS pic-ture to get even foggier before the college football regular season settles.
There are just so many differ-ent BCS scenarios that could take shape over the next few weeks. Here’s one that sounds ridiculous, but would be a ton of fun.
Let’s say Notre Dame falls to USC on Saturday. That would drop the Fighting Irish out of the nation-al championship, but they would still receive an at-large bid because of the Notre Dame rule that allows any independent team to play in the BCS if it’s ranked inside the
top eight.With Notre Dame out of the
picture, Alabama, Georgia and Florida all win while Kansas State loses to Texas, leaving the top five teams in the BCS standings: Ala-bama, Georgia, Florida, Oregon and LSU.
One of the top two would then have to lose in the SEC Champion-ship. Let’s just say it’s Alabama.
Could a Florida-Georgia re-match in the BCS Championship actually be possible? Of course it could.
That’s just one example of the multitude of outcomes the BCS could spew out. Who knows what the last two weekends of the col-lege football regular season have in store?
It’s what makes the sport so attractive to viewers; any team can lose on any given Saturday. With that improbability from week to week, you see the BCS standings change dramatically.
After last season’s champion-ship game where Alabama crushed LSU 21-0, the last thing voters want to see is a rematch in the title game. But that might be exactly what they get.
And so much for that whole SEC being left out of the the BCS title picture. In a matter of a week, the question isn’t if an SEC
member will be in the running for a national championship, but wheth-er it will be a matchup of two con-ference foes.
There’s nothing we can do about it but sit back and watch the madness unfold.
Until the new playoff format begins in 2014, I hope the BCS is
as chaotic as possible.

MORGAN SEARLES / The Daily Reveille
Andrew Del Piero, LSU senior center, shoots the ball Tuesday during LSU’s 102-95 win against Northwestern State at the PMAC.
After apologizing for his “impertinent and poor” choice of words in Saturday’s post-game news conference, LSU coach Les Miles turned to a more cheery, but just as timely, subject.
“I look forward to Thanks-giving, and I think our team does and I think our country does,” Miles said Monday at his week-ly press luncheon. “I think it’s a wonderful time to put things fi rst, like your family, the Lord and football. Happy Thanksgiving to all.”
He’s right in his reference to the rest of his team, as many players offered up those same
thanks in the week leading up to Thursday’s observation of Tur-key Day and Friday’s matchup with Arkansas.
Some thanks were as simple as being alive, as is the case for sophomore safety Ronald Martin .
“I’m thankful to see another day, each and every day,” Martin said.
But naturally, many grati-tudes were about football. For freshman cornerback Jalen Col-lins , it’s about having a chance to show what he can do after never getting thrown at in high school.
Junior receiver Kadron Boone realized the scarce oppor-tunity he’s been allotted.
“Thousands of kids want to play college football, but for me to actually be here and get an education also, I’m very thankful for that,” Boone said.
Scores of athletes may desire to bring their talents to the next
level, but not many can fathom doing it for six years. Senior of-fensive lineman Josh Dworac-zyk , who was granted a sixth year of eligibility after several knee injuries, is thankful for just that.
“Days I don’t feel like prac-ticing, the memory of how for-tunate I am gets me going,” Dworaczyk said.
Family was another obvious favorite. Sophomore receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beck-ham Jr. , who hail from Convent and New Orleans, respectively , gave thanks for their families being close enough to see on Wednesday before the team de-parts on the true holiday.
Sometimes, family and foot-ball collide.
“I’m thankful for being able to be around my team, looking at those guys as my brothers since I’m the only boy in my family,” said junior safety Craig Loston .
For those players who aren’t close enough to see their families for a holiday dinner, the team will likely get together like it did prior to Thanksgiving and Arkan-sas last year for its own celebra-tion. Collins , from Olive Branch, Miss. , said he’ll miss his aunt’s sweet potato pie.
With a game to play the next day, Loston said his teammates shouldn’t expect too many des-serts, one of the only parts of the meal he prefers, along with ham and fried turkey.
“I’m not really the Thanks-giving food guy,” Loston said. “That’s not my style of eating. I’m more of a pasta guy.”

ago. The team still has plenty to play for though, as it has come together through this tough cam-paign in a way that Flory said is rare.
That closeness, Flory said, has everything to do with the se-niors.
“The coaches made a com-ment that this week would be tough to get through,” Delahous-saye said.
The reasons Flory will miss her seniors are as differing as their personalities.
Aside from the crashing balls Delahoussaye inexplicably digs up, Flory will miss watching her blossom from the wallfl ower she
was when she arrived to the bal-anced person she is now.
She’ll miss the same about watching exemplary leader Meghan Mannari’s game grow.
She’ll miss fi ery senior out-side hitter Madie Jones inciting her teammates, but not her op-ponents, like she was sometimes accustomed to doing.
She’ll miss the sleep if her team can’t fi nd someone other than Flory to call in the wee hours, which was cool-headed senior Victoria Jacobsen’s job.
To kick off their fi nal week together, the athletes all switched jerseys during warm-ups be-fore Sunday’s loss to Missouri. Mannari wore Jones’ shirt while Delahoussaye represented
freshman Haley Smith, who will be the only defensive specialist on LSU’s roster when Delahous-saye and Mannari depart.
After four years, Mannari and Delahoussaye have developed a friendship that Smith said would make anyone envious. They’re so close that their parents follow their daughters together.
Mannari’s parents recently picked up Delahoussaye ’s par-ents from their Madisonville, La., home before road-tripping to Gainesville, Fla., and Knoxville, Tenn., to watch their daughters play. The families bunked with each other throughout the trip.
“We told them, ‘You guys really need to meet. We promise, you’ll become friends,’” Mannari
said. “Little did we know…”This senior class has tied the
team together more than Flory usually sees, and when it takes on the Razorbacks, it’s not for noth-ing.
“We’re going out there to play for pride,” Mannari said. “… Just prove that we have something to play for.”
What might that be?“We’re playing for each
other,” Delahoussaye said.
SENIORS, from page 5
the regular season strong and let the rest take care of itself,” said junior safety Craig Loston . “We are prepar-ing to do our best to get ready for these guys, and they’re not going to be an easy group. They have talent, and we’ll have to be ready for what comes our way.”
Senior quarterback Tyler Wil-son , who has completed 218-of-349 passes for 3,028 yards , 20 touch-downs and 12 interceptions , leads a potent Arkansas offense.
Wilson has thrived at home in 2012 , where he has completed 61.8 percent of his passes and thrown 15 of his 20 scores .
The Tigers’ secondary will be looking to contain him Friday .
“They have a great quarter-back,” said sophomore safety Ron-ald Martin . “You know that’s a chal-lenge when you’re going against a very experienced quarterback in the [Southeastern Conference ]. All the receivers in the SEC are good, so you have to go out with the mindset at practice each day that you want to get better.”
The Razorbacks’ passing at-tack accounts for 71 percent of the squad’s total offensive yards.
Wilson has found success throwing to senior wide receiver Cobi Hamilton , who broke the SEC single-game receiving record with 303 yards against Rutgers .
The LSU defensive back corps will be looking for any and all op-portunities to add to its SEC-leading 17 picks in 2012 .
“We focus on getting turn-overs,” said redshirt freshman cor-nerback Jalen Collins . “It’s some-thing we like to do, so of course we’re going to go in there and try to pick it off and create fumbles and get our offense the ball back.”

My uncle always says that down here, we eat with our hearts, not our mouths. And I believe it.
Much more goes into our cast-iron pots than just those ingredients that recipe calls for — sometimes it’s blood, sweat and tears. One thing is for certain: What begins with the heart ends in the heart.
Thursday will be the grand pa-rade of turkey and cranberry, corn-bread dressing and dirty rice, succo-tash, green bean casserole and maybe some squash and zucchini. There will be gravy to drown in, buttered bread rolls and other vegetables you didn’t know existed but are so dang delicious, all to be washed down with gallons of ice tea minted from mother’s courtyard and her murder-ous congealed strawberry salad for desert.
Food is a way of life down here. There’s a proper way to do food as well as plenty of improper, lousy ways to do food. Usually our best
educators, as with anything else, are age and experience.
The spread will have started well before the strike of noon on Thanksgiving Thursday. For my family, my mother usually wakes at the same time my father, brother and I do for our morning hunt, but that’s only to tan the bird. The rest had be-gun days in advance.
Through my adolescence in Louisiana kitchens, I’ve been learned in the ways of spices and sauces by a few different patriarchs, and one par-ticular matriarch. However, there are a few rules I’ve acquired from them that I like to follow when taking to black-iron.
The first, being the cardinal rule, is that no man should touch an-other man’s pot. What is in that pot is either that cook’s glory or demise; no credit or blame should go to anyone else’s hands. Only offer suggestions or recommendations when prompt-ed. Otherwise, let the master work, or let the novice cook and learn.
The second thing I stress is time. Although my grandfather would dis-agree by saying a drink of scotch is the most important, ensuring all the time you need to prepare your dish is
the most important call of the recipe. Time may be of the essence, but
why rush to cook and eat when you know you’ll be back at it — nose in the scented steam — in a couple of hours?
You must take your time. Any-thing rushed on the stove is nothing worth eating.
And when living in a world like this, we need all the therapy we can get. Appreciate your time cooking like it’s therapy, and stare into that gravy like it’s the ceiling of a psy-chiatrist’s office.
Especially during the week of Thanksgiving, that local trend of having an intermission from the kitchen to get something done — rather than breaking to get into the kitchen — serves as a peaceful op-portunity for time to reflect on all the things to be thankful for. One thing that calls for reflection is the ability to spend time in the kitchen.
The last, from which I’ve learned from my grandfather’s reci-pes and cooking in the kitchen he frequented, is that you should always maintain a drink and good company to keep the atmosphere light.
If you’re doing it right, you
should be spending most of your time patiently waiting. A little talk-ing music never hurts, but nothing passes the time like shooting the shit with a buddy over a drink of what-ever you fancy.
But along with that drink comes responsibility. Don’t give the bottle too much attention — you could lose focus and possibly put sugar on that steak instead of salt.
If the bottle needs that much at-tention, let it entertain your guests. Your culinary ego will certainly be stroked by inebriated taste buds.
Now I hope my three culinary commandments have left you with a sense of famine today, because I know around two o’clock in the af-ternoon Thursday, I will dip into a turkey-induced coma that should hold me over until the end of finals week.
Enjoy, and always give thanks.

Dead week should be used as preparation for finals
Many students agree that midterms is one of the most stressful weeks of the semester, but the calm of the following weeks misleads students into the death trap called dead week, the week before final exams.
Professors assign last-minute projects, papers and exams on dead week, and once students are behind on dead week assign-ments, they usually also fall be-hind on studying for finals.
While some may argue stu-dents should take time manage-ment into their own hands, pro-fessors should expect students to procrastinate and vary the dead-lines for assignments.
We’ve all experienced that burned-out feeling after finals week, but imagine feeling brain dead before finals week even be-gins, as many students will after cramming in projects during what should be a week of preparation.
It’s nice that professors want to give students as much time as possible to work on assignments, but they should move the dead-lines up to prevent a clustering of assignments before finals.
Jared Johnson, petroleum engineering sophomore, said he took four exams during Dead Week. The cluster of exams dur-ing dead week and finals week culminated into his “most stress-ful two weeks at LSU.”
“I just don’t understand how professors can expect a student that is taking 17 hours to suffi-ciently prepare for the final exam by giving an exam during dead week,” Johnson said. “Isn’t that
what dead week is for? To focus on finals — not stress out about tests during dead week.”
But Johnson isn’t the only student facing the stress of dead week.
I have three papers, one exam, one quiz and two projects due next week.
Dead week should be exactly what it sounds like: a week with-out assignment in preparation for final exams.
The stresses of this semester have only been intensified with the exclusion of fall break.
With one break down this se-mester, students will be forced to spend their only holiday, Thanks-giving, catching up on work.
Instead of enjoying the Thanksgiving break with our families, we’ll be locked in our rooms writing papers, working on projects and studying for last-minute exams.
Clustering assignments dur-ing dead week cheats the system. The title dead week actually con-tradicts its real meaning. In fact, the title better describes Baton Rouge while students are shut away in the library and in their rooms hunkered over textbooks.
So professors, I’m only ask-ing that you think back to your days in college and remember the stresses you encountered go-ing into final exams. Dead week
should be a week of preparation; let’s take it back.

UWIRE — Though the rockets and bomb blasts are almost 7,000 miles away, the turmoil in Gaza is not far removed from U.S. in-terests.
In fact, with its economic heft, the U.S., as a seemingly si-lent superpower, is a larger player in the chaos ensuing now than perhaps either Israel or the Gaza strip.
But as Israel has intensified air strikes and bombs in retalia-tion to Hamas-launched rockets from Gaza, the U.S. response has spoken as to what side the Ameri-can taxpayers will be supporting.
While President Barack Obama has said it would be “preferable,” according to The
Associated Press, for violence to not exist, he has consistently de-fended Israel’s “right to defend itself.”
But according to The New York Times, Gaza health officials have reported at least 600 injuries and 70 deaths since Wednesday, and Israel has reported 79 inju-ries and three deaths. The human rights violations being brought upon the people of Gaza by Israel are not things the U.S. should en-dorse.
While the initial violence of the rocket launch is not con-donable, Israel’s response — the response sponsored by the tax-payers of America — is certainly not either, and coupled with the history of aggression and bla-tant disregard of civilian, women and children’s lives, the U.S.’s
strategic oblivion is one that goes against the very value of democ-racy that allied Israel with the U.S. in the first place.
Gilad Sharon, the son of for-mer Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, called for the “flattening of Gaza” in an op-ed written for The Jerusalem Post.
“We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza,” he wrote. “Flatten all of Gaza... There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving ve-hicles, nothing.”
The U.S. has a strong, vested interest in Israel — an interest so expansive (and expensive) that it is willing to overlook impor-tant aspects of democracy, such as human rights, to secure its own best interest in an utterly undemocratic process.
Israel has received about $115 billion in U.S. aid, and continues to receive about $3 billion a year, making it the larg-est recipient of U.S. aid since World War II. According to a Congressional Research Report prepared for the U.S. Congress, the Bush administration approved a 10-year, $30 billion package for Israel’s Foreign Military Financ-ing grant, which Obama has con-tinued.
The very Iron Dome system, the system that has intercepted 245 rockets for Israel since the recent burst of violence, is large-ly funded by the U.S, which pro-vides an additional $70 million for it per year, according to CNN.
While it is incredible that this technology protects Is-raeli civilians, does the U.S.
government value their lives more than Palestinians?
Though a 2011 Gallup poll found 63 percent of Americans supported Israel over Palestine, it is worth a closer look as to wheth-er cozying up to Israel solely be-cause of its “demo-cratic” roots is worth the fiscal and humanitarian costs.
A democracy is not simply electing leaders, and by turning a blind eye to these injustices, the U.S. is further distancing itself from other Middle East-ern nations at a time in which diplomacy is needed most.

Election season is still not over for two circuit judges in a judicial election for Louisiana’s Supreme Court.
In an eight-contestant race for the judgeship, Democratic Cir-cuit Judge John Michael Guidry and Republican Circuit Judge Jeff Hughes won out, and will contin-ue to battle for votes in a runoff Dec. 8.
Hughes ran many television spots stating his conservative-leaning views, a possible bone of contention among those who question the ethics of position-taking judges.
Hughes defended the ads by citing a 2002 Supreme Court rul-ing.
The case, “Republican Party
of Minnesota v. White,” stated ju-dicial election candidates have the First Amendment right to discuss their views.
The practice of judges taking stances has been seen as a pos-sible ethical complication.
Political science professor James Garand said Hughes has been under fi re for this decision from many who believe judges should be nonpartisan and make decisions about cases based on black-and-white facts.
Garand disagrees with this idea.
“I believe judges are political actors,” Garand said.
He said it is no surprise when appointees of President Barack Obama rule on the liberal side of a case, and that is no different in the lower courts.
This is not a negative truth, according to top scholars Melinda Gann-Hall and Chris Bonneau, who have conducted extensive re-search on the subject.
The two believe voters should
be able to choose the interpreta-tion different judges will affect on a district, Garand said.
And he agreed, saying even though there is a general percep-tion of judges as neutral entities, this is not the true manner by which voters elect.
There were more Republicans running in the race than Demo-crats, and Garand said he was sur-prised Hughes was the one who pulled through for his party.
He attributed the success to Hughes’ television spots.
Guidry, on the other hand, campaigned by speaking to church groups and promoted his tradi-tion of being a “fair and impartial judge,” he told news outlets.
Garand said the turnout of the Dec. 8 election will depend on who is able to mobilize more vot-ers, but he said he expects Hughes will win.

Jeanette Tucker said turkey will be the biggest contributor to the cost this year, in-creasing about 29 cents per pound as compared to last year.
There are three factors that may have con-tributed to the in-crease in turkey prices, said Kurt Guidry , AgCenter agricultural economist .
A 2012 drought in the Mid-west drove up the price of corn and grain, which is “certainly refl ected in the price for turkey,” Guidry said.
He also attributed the in-crease to fuel cost, which rose throughout 2012 .
“Getting the products from the farm to the consumer factors in cost,” Guidry said.
And fi nally, he said turkey production was basically un-changed while per capita turkey consumption is expected to in-crease.
The increase in demand along with a stagnant supply is sure to cause prices to rise, Guidry said.
Prices of other items such as milk and sweet potatoes also in-creased in Louisiana , though the
increase was only marginal. On the other hand, some
items have decreased in price.Fresh cranberries, rolls,
green peas, whipping cream and pie shells all decreased sightly.
Though Lou-isiana Thanksgiv-ing dinner prices have increased, they are still below the na-tional average of $49.48 , according to the American
Farm Bureau Federation .And Louisiana ’s average is
still lower than 2011’s average of $49.20 .
“When you look at 2012, we weren’t impacted as much in terms of drought,” Guidry said. “Production has been more nor-mal here. So our regional prices are different from the national average.”
To save money this Thanks-giving , the AgCenter suggests using coupons, shopping alone and not before a meal and taking advantage of in-store specials.
