REVIEW
SCENE AND HEARD // HASTINGS
> New places, new faces.
There's only one place in Lawrence where you can buy a smoothie, a magazine, a long board, jewelry, an iPod and clothing all in the same store. That store would be Hastings, and the list of things you can buy there goes on and on.
Located at 1900 W. 23rd St. behind Freddy's and right next to Cork & Barrel, Hastings is easy to miss if you aren't searching for it. One student who discovered Hastings last year is Chris Lindsey, a senior from Alton, Ill.

"When Borders closed, I wanted to find another place like it and Hastings is pretty close but with way more stuff," says Lindsey. "You can rent movies and video games and even buy used books to save yourself some money."
Hastings is a place where students can study as well. Tucked in the corner is a small coffee shop, called the Hardback Café, where people can gather, study or go alone to drink a coffee and indulge in a book.
"Hastings is a one-stop shop," Alex Berryman, video associate at Hastings says. "It's fun. You can get your coffee, grab a magazine or book, and read to your heart's desire. The best part is, if you aren't feeling books, you

can check out the rest of the store. We literally have everything "entertainment" you can think of."

Next time you and your friends need an entertainment fix, stop by Hastings and lose yourself in its endless selection of books, music, movies, games, electronics and more.

Have you ever seen something so terrible you wonder how it could have possibly been made? How people could have been paid to put it together? "Tin Man" will make you ask those questions over and over until your eyes roll out of your head.
"Tin Man" is unbearably long. At almost five hours, it feels like watching paint dry. Deschanel is at her clunkiest and delivers lines like somebody who has no grasp of emotions. Cumming and Richard Dreyfuss have fun with their roles as Glitch and The Mystic Man (the
"Tin Man" is an unnecessary 2007 steampunk update of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Zooey Deschanel stars as D.G., a girl who doesn't fit in in her vague Midwestern town and dreams of a wonderland. She's swept into Outerzone (that's steampunk for "Oz") via tornado. There she meets her scarecrow, the non-scarecrow Glitch (played by Alan Cumming), her tin man, the non-tin man Cane, and her cowardly lion, for some reason named Raw. D.G. sets out to defeat her evil sister Azkadellia (an updated wicked witch) and reunite with her Outerzone parents.
Wizard), but they don't make the series worth watching.
The dialogue is awkward and the plot is convoluted, but worst of all, it's called "Tin Man" for seemingly no reason.
If you hate The Wonderful Wizard of 0z,
then this is for you. If not, skip it.

"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
THE JAYHAWKS scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.
the year, they made them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the Jayhawks.

The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offence, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing," Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
Hill leads the Yellow Jackets' receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.

"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, frehsman recovered, said.

it has missed a beat. Then rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing of defense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.
"Guys have to show up and make plays," Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to make plays in the open field."
Last week, the Jayhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the

"That is the whole crutch of
handling the option is that you have to be assignment oriented." Shealy said. "I think when you look at assignments, by nature it slows you down a little bit, and
we want guys playing free and fast and canceling gaps and pushing the ball to the sideline"
