Rice scored 23 points and Texas shut down sharpshooting Colgate for an 81-61 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night. Carr finished with 17 points and Dylan Disu had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Longhorns (17-8), who shot 13 for 23 from 3-point range to beat the Raiders at their own game. Texas will play 10th-seeded Penn State in the second round on Saturday … [Read more...] about No. 2 seed Texas tops Colgate 81-61 on Rice’s 7 made 3s

P. Wesley Foster Jr., a onetime aluminum siding salesman who co-founded one of the largest independent real estate firms in the United States, its name, Long & Foster, on "for sale" signs across the Mid-Atlantic, died March 17 at his home in Alexandria, Va. He was 89. The death was confirmed by his stepson, Rod Lawrence. No cause was given. At the time of his death, Foster - known to his legions of real estate agents as "Wes" - was chairman emeritus of the company he founded with Henry A. "Hank" Long in Fairfax, Va., in 1968. Long was an Air Force veteran. Foster, a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, had served in the Army. They were both in their 30s and relatively new to real estate when they combined their names and ambitions to form the Long & Foster brand. At the outset, the two men "flipped a coin," Foster recalled in an interview with the Washington Business Journal. "He got his name first. I became president. We took off." When they began the … [Read more...] about Wes Foster, co-founder of real estate giant Long & Foster, dies at 89

Twenty years ago, in March 2003, Lori Piestewa, a U.S. soldier, was listed as missing in action during the hellish and confused early hours of America's war in Iraq. Her convoy was ambushed, leading to the capture and eventual deaths of several troops, Piestewa among them. As her family would learn, the 23-year-old was fatally wounded in a frantic race to help others flee the kill zone, and her remains were crudely buried outside of an Iraqi hospital. U.S. personnel were dispatched later to recover the captives and remains, including Piestewa's body. Anguish washed over the Hopi tribal community in Arizona, … [Read more...] about The children of troops lost to Iraq War are all grown up

She worked with Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone, scored an Oscar nomination, dated Brad Pitt and kicked a drug addiction, all before age 22. She's never been inclined to follow a straight trajectory. So, in 2003, Lewis embarked on a six-year sabbatical from acting to pursue music, her band Juliette and the Licks, opening for the Pretenders and Cat Power. "I went for broke," says Lewis, which also describes her performances. "When I was on the road, I was flying economy, roughing it like a rock and roller, sleeping on a bunk, traveling on a bus." When she returned to acting, the industry had largely forgotten her. It tends to do that. Even with Juliette Lewis, indelible in Scorsese's "Cape Fear" (opposite Robert De Niro), Stone's "Natural Born Killers" and Lasse Hallström's "What's … [Read more...] about Juliette Lewis conquered Hollywood by 22.
