BY DAVID BEERMAN @dabeermans The LSU AgCenter recently released more information on its plans for extensive research on medical marijuana. The initial announcement in June gave minor details, but the recent release included a document containing the details for the project’s concept plan.

The AgCenter held a public forum Oct. 28 to disclose details to the public and potential investors and contractors, and answered questions from the audience

and explained portions of the project concept.

There are specific rules for the AgCenter’s involvement with the project, which are disclosed in the project concept, and the project will remain separate from the University.

According to the project concept, the AgCenter plans to convert a warehouse into a lab, production center and research facility to house the project under one roof. This single-facility plan will reduce security risks and allow ease of access to the researchers and growers.

Because the project is separate from the University, the AgCenter is working on getting funding from private investors and contractors, adding to approximately $11.3 million. Though all figures are estimates given in the project concept and are subject to change, as said in the AgCenter’s public forum.

The medical marijuana research project will be funded, run and in operation as soon as possible.

It must follow the rules laid out in the Neustrom Act, such as the legality of the

production of medical marijuana to expire in 2020, according to Bill Richardson, the LSU vice president for agriculture.

Because of the ability to grow and turn over marijuana plants in short amounts of time, the AgCenter is able to make rapid changes to the plants to grow to certain medical and pharmaceutical specifications, according to Richardson.

The project is a strictly medical and pharmaceutical one — its products are to be only in the form of pills, topicals and sprays. The AgCenter is not to produce products to be smoked, nor is it to produce edibles, with the exception of gummies for young patients.

In order to only use the medically beneficial chemicals in marijuana, the AgCenter will have an extract chemist working on all of the extractions, according to Richardson.

For increased safety and control, the AgCenter will have direct oversight and significant input into the entirety of the project.

Security is of maximum importance to the AgCenter, so officials plan to have high security inside and outside the facility, as well as high security transportation to all dispensaries and a security system that is tied with the facility’s inventory control for close monitoring, according to Richardson.

There will be no intermediate stops between the AgCenter facility and the dispensaries, and it is not to cross state lines, Richardson said.

The rules concerning the distribution of medical marijuana are tight, and there will be no advertising or merchandising allowed. In addition, doctors are not to prescribe medical marijuana, but are instead to only give recommendations to patients.

All monetary transactions and donations are to be well-documented — the original source of the money must be known before the AgCenter accepts it.

OFFENSE

ALABAMA: QB Jalen Hurts has completed 14-40 passes of 20 yards or more LSU: Has had a 100-yard rusher in 10-straight games

BY JOSH THORNTON | @JoshuaThornton_ PASSING YARDS PER GAME: 229.6 Alabama has a freshman at quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Hurts hasn’t played like a freshman this season, staying poised and leading comebacks against Ole Miss.

RUSHING YARDS PER GAME: 268.4 For the first time in a few years the Tide don’t have a premiere running back like a Mark Ingram or T.J. Yeldon. It’s been a running back by committee approach with Damien Harris, Joshua Jacobs and Hurts.

TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS PER GAME: 498.0 Despite a host of changes on offense, Alabama still has one of the top offenses in the Southeastern Conference.

DEFENSE TIDE: Nine defensive touchdowns scored in eight games TIGERS: Have allowed eight touchdowns in seven games

BY JACOB HAMILTON | @jac0b_hamilt0n There’s no defense in the land playing better than the Crimson Tide under first-year defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

MOST SACKS IN THE NATION: 32 Senior outside linebacker Tim Williams (6.5 sacks) and senior defensive lineman Jonathan Allen (six sacks) lead a more formidable pass rush than last season’s national championship squad.

ALABAMA ALLOWED PASSING YARDS PER GAME: 204.4 Alabama’s pass defense ranks third in the Southeastern Conference, while its eight interceptions are good for fifth in the conference.

ALABAMA RUSHING YARDS ALLOWED PER GAME: 70.1 Weighing in at an average of 305.7 pounds, Alabama’s defensive line has also imposed its will against opposing rushing attacks. Accounting for the nation’s No. 1 rush defense, the Tide allow 20 yards less than the No. 2 rushing defense.

POINTS PER GAME: 43.9 Alabama is eighth in the nation in scoring and first in the SEC as offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin has the team humming.

CALVIN RIDLEY: 43 RECEPTIONS Sophomore wide receiver Ridley leads the Tide in receiving yards and five touchdowns, and Alabama loves to use him multiple ways.

ORGERON First game versus Alabama as LSU’s head coach | SABAN 7-3 against LSU as Alabama’s head coach

THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL | @CBoutwell_

ORGERON

Ed Orgeron says LSU’s season restarted after the Tigers’ 13-18 loss against Auburn when Orgeron — a homegrown, energy-drink guzzling Larose, Louisiana native — took control of the program as interim head coach the Sunday following the loss. Since then, LSU is 3-0 in three consecutive doubledigit wins versus Missouri, Southern Miss and Ole Miss.

Under Orgeron, LSU has outscored its opponents by 87 points in its previous three games.

SABAN

JORDAN MARCELL / The Daily Reveille

Nick Saban has led the Crimson Tide to four national championships in seven years — in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2015.

Under Saban, Alabama is the only NCAA program to earn an invitation to the first two College Football Playoffs.

It’s time for basketball fans to place trust in ‘the process’ TEAM JACOB JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n The thing about “the process” is that it’s finally paying dividends, and, thus, should be trusted.

There are few players who are capable of drawing “oohs” and “aahs” on missed shots. 76ers rookie center Joel Embiid is already one of them.

On one of his converted buckets against the Hawks, the 76ers’ long-awaited No. 3 overall 2014 draft choice and noted Internet

hero, unleashed a combination of moves that nearly reverted Atlanta in its entirety back to the Stone Age. After setting an on-ball screen, Embiid popped back behind the three-point arc, where he received the rock. Embiid pump faked, then put the ball on the floor, blowing past All-Defensive Second Team power forward Paul Millsap and scoring with an athletic, acrobatic finish over center Mike Muscala.

Mind you, he’s seven feet tall.

Somewhere, exactly one single tear slowly cascaded down Sam Hinkie’s flush cheek.

The Joel Embiid experience is

everything we hoped for. In limited minutes through two games — 37 to be exact — Embiid poured in 34 points, knocked down two of four threes and blocked four shots.

Plus, anyone who shouts “he can’t guard me” in his first career game while shooting 4-of-12 from the field automatically becomes NBA royalty. Add him saying that he learned his shooting stroke from watching “regular white people” on YouTube, and he’s literally already a top five most savage player of all time.

BIG MEN GALORE Life giveth

and

life

taketh away.

It’s no secret that traditional big men who play with their back to the basket have been a dying breed for some time now. But if the first week of this NBA season has told us one thing: that’s far from a death sentence for big men in general.

Consider yourself lucky, because we’re blessed with witnessing in live time the birth and prosperity of the hybrid big, rising seven feet off the hardwood with the skills of a guard and ability to score from anywhere on the court.

Following Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis’ model,

we’ve seen a mass proliferation of the same prototype, and it’s taking over the league.

The 2016 NBA season’s first week was a playground for Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Myles Turner and the aforementioned Embiid.

The fact that we have another 12 to 15 years from all of those players suggests the NBA’s still on the come-up and we have an incredible amount of fun basketball ahead of us.

Oh great, now I’m crying.

NEW ORLEANS’ RECORD SAYS NOTHING

see THE PROCESS, page 4

page 4 THE PROCESS, from page 3 Anthony Davis (95) joined Michael Jordan (91) as the only players in the last 50 years to score 90 points over their team’s first two games with a 50-point openingnight performance coupled with a 45-point outing two days later. He returned to Earth on Saturday, though, putting up 18.

Yet the Pelicans are a ripe 0-3.

There’s no cause for panic just yet, though.

New Orleans is 2-1 if not for the opening quarter in its first two games. After the Nuggets and Warriors jumped out to sixand 10-point leads after one, the Pelicans hunkered down and outplayed both teams in the final three quarters, but couldn’t quite climb out of the hole they had dug for themselves.

Coach Alvin Gentry’s second unit is painfully bad, but that will change when Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans and Quincy Pondexter return. What other team can say it’s missing two starters and another key role player?

In Holiday’s stead, point guard Tim Frazier is averaging 13.7 points, 9.3 assists and five rebounds per game, proving that the second unit will improve when he moves back to the bench after the incumbent point guard returns.

Anyone making rash judgements about the Pels after three games needs to R-E-L-A-X.

LSU will face difficult challenges against Alabama THE BOY WHO LIVED WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter As eight teams have proven this season — not to mention the dozens from years past — Alabama and Nick Saban are tough to beat.

That’s the furthest thing from breaking news, but with LSU riding into this matchup against the No. 1 team in the land with an extreme amount of confidence, it needs to be said. Alabama has been dominant for the better part of the last decade, and only 14 coaches in college football have managed to beat Saban’s Alabama teams.

On Saturday, LSU’s interim coach Ed Orgeron will try to add his name to that list.

Orgeron and company have made tremendous strides in

revamping what was an anemic Tiger offense. Scoring at least 38 points in each of his three games as head coach and limiting an explosive Ole Miss offense to only two touchdowns, have made the Tigers confident they can end the five-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide.

But, as any of Alabama’s eight opponents so far this season can tell you, it takes more than confidence to beat Bama.

You need a stingy defense, some good quarterback play and, most importantly, a little luck.

Here’s a look at what the Tigers need to do to have a chance at beating Alabama:

GET A LEAD EARLY

Alabama has outscored opponents 71-23 in the first quarter, while LSU has come out of the gates a little sluggishly in the last three contests. The good news for LSU? They have shut down teams in the

second half.

If LSU can end the first half with a lead, or at least keep it close, it definitely keeps the Tigers competitive. The Tigers’ defense held Ole Miss to 104 total yards, six first downs and zero points in the second half. LSU also forced four three-and-outs in Ole Miss’ seven second-half drives.

Orgeron’s team is definitely able to hang onto a lead. So if LSU ends the first half ahead, the Tigers definitely have a chance.

CONTAIN JALEN HURTS

The Crimson Tide’s freshman quarterback may not be one of the SEC’s premier passers, but he has established himself as one of the top rushers.

Hurts has rushed 95 times for 521 yards and nine touchdowns. He ranks 15th for rushing yards in the SEC, and has the third-most out of SEC quarterbacks behind only Texas A&M

quarterback Trevor Knight and Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald. He’s tied with Knight for first in the SEC for rushing touchdowns.

While he’s not in the same league as Hurts and Knight, LSU’s defense prevented Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly from doing much with his legs.

While Kelly managed to get 18 more yards against LSU than his season average, he did so with three more carries than his average. On the year, Kelly has averaged 4.1 yards per carry and got 4.7 against LSU. LSU’s secondary should be able to wrangle in Alabama’s passing game, as long as they keep all-world receiver Calvin Ridley tightly covered. But if LSU can’t keep Hurts from using his legs, it’ll be tough to pull out a win.

LIMIT OFFENSIVE MISTAKES

If you’ve turned on ESPN at least once in the last two weeks, you know Alabama has scored non-offensive touchdowns in its last 10 games dating back to the end of last season. In total, the Crimson Tide has scored 12 non-offensive touchdowns — this season, nine of those on defense.

The scariest part? Alabama has scored these touchdowns in every way imaginable — interceptions, fumble recoveries and long returns. LSU has been pretty solid on kick and punt coverage this year, but Alabama’s defense poses a problem.

For the most part, LSU junior quarterback Danny Etling has done a good job protecting the ball. He’s only thrown three interceptions, and it certainly helps that Alabama All-American safety Eddie Jackson, who was responsible for three of Alabama’s non-offensive scores, is out for the remainder of the season.

If LSU snaps the Tide’s streak, that’s a nice boost. That alone won’t be enough to win, but it doesn’t hurt.

Climate change imminent, ignored by everyone in 2016 ENTITLED MILLENNIAL CODY SIBLEY @CodySibley Last month, NASA reported that September of 2016 was the hottest September over a 136-year period of record-keeping. This means, as 97 percent of scientists have been saying, our climate is continuing to grow warmer.

According to ABC News, every month since October 2015 — with the exception of June 2016 — was the hottest month on record. This June was considered the third hottest June in recorded history.

Climate change is not a debate anymore. It hasn’t been a debate for a while now. Our Earth is warming, and if we don’t act today, we might not have a habitable planet tomorrow.

The science behind climate change is unanimous, despite what your PeePaw might tell you.

Now we must make the policy behind climate change unanimous, which shouldn’t be hard considering climate change affects everyone equally, and we should all have a vested interest in protecting our planet.

You know where I’m going with this.

Right now, Louisiana has 24 candidates running for Senate. Of

courtesy of FIBONACCI BLUE VIA WIKIMEDIA

Protesters in St. Paul, Minnesota call for a stop of the pipeline construction which will pass upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. those, I’ve only seen two viable candidates speak out against climate change, and one of them has flip-flopped on the issue. Given the oil and gas industry’s influence in Louisiana, I’m not surprised.

In a 2014 study, economist

Loren Scott found that the oil and gas company contribute about $73.8 billion to the state both directly and indirectly. He also found that the extraction, pipeline and refining industries employed about 64,669 people. Most

politicians here won’t go against such a lucrative industry in the state.

Unfortunately, the presidential election is no better when it comes to the climate change policy debate. Both Hillary Clinton

and Donald Trump are more interested in turning this race into a personality contest than into a debate on policy, and it’s working.

Right now, a Native American tribe in North Dakota is protesting the building of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.7 billion pipeline that would span across four states and run through a Native American reservation.

While the tribe sought to halt the construction, a judge gave the pipeline developers the green light to continue construction.

This story touches on climate change, Native American sovereignty and business overreach, and it has lasting effects throughout the nation. However, both candidates’ personalities are so large and overbearing that they cannot speak on important issues.

Maybe we should demand more of our candidates. Maybe we should demand they speak out on important issues. We have the power to elect a candidate who would work to slow climate change, but focusing on emails and personality is easier, isn’t it?

While we’ll all breathe a sigh of relief after November 8th, our planet might never heal if we don’t do something now.

Producers should bring characters to life, turn books into movies MYIA-PINION MYIA HAMBRICK @MyiaChristine Here in America, going to the movies is a huge part of our society. But recent movies have been disappointing, as though the industry has forgotten that movies are an excellent opportunity to showcase not only giant explosions, but also the ideas and viewpoints of various people.

In general, the top grossing movies each year involve massive explosions, characters without depth and men and women dressed in skintight uniforms.

Avengers franchise and Marvel Universe, I’m looking at you.

Don’t get me wrong — I love superhero movies as much as the next person. Technically,

superhero films are adapted from literature, even if it’s in the form of comic books. People who love the comics and the characters flock to see their favorite characters in action — which is exactly my point.

There are so many great books out there that many people do not get to experience.

The stories of these characters are relatable, and people can learn from them. But the stories aren’t put out there for people to see because of issues with movie rights and lack of interest.

Take John Green’s 2005 novel “Looking for Alaska.” If you know me, you know that this is hands down my favorite young adult novel and that I will not rest until it is a film.

His 2011 novel The Fault in our Stars was adapted to film before the 2005 novel. However, this is not because of a lack of

industry interest.

Green has said the movie rights to it have been sold, but that the production company hasn’t found anyone to take on the project. Perhaps it’s because they haven’t read it, or because executives don’t think it will sell. But the story needs to be told.

Lately, novels have been coming to the screen with 2016’s “Me Before You” adapted from Jojo Moyes’ 2012 novel of the same name. While it may not have been Oscar material, it was a beautiful film that made commentary on relationships, disability and the value of life itself. It is unique in subject matter, and tells a story we would likely never have heard were it not for the film.

Of course some people had already read the novel, but the publicity of the film likely

inspired people to buy the book to get a deeper connection with the characters.

Even I am guilty of it. Before I saw the trailer, I had never heard of the book. But the trailer inspired me to buy the novel, and I loved every word of it.

When it came out in the theatres, I was ecstatic to see my favorite characters brought to life.

I will say that the movie industry has been turning more and more books to film recently.

2016 has seen many adaptations, including “13 Hours,” “The 5th Wave,” “Allegiant,” “The Light Between Oceans,” “The Girl on the Train,” “The Jungle Book,” “The Revenant,” “Nerve,” “The Choice” — I think you get the point.

Authors and production companies only stand to gain more money by turning books to film, because those who have read

If they are excited to see characters they can relate to on the screen, people might be more inclined to see films in theaters instead of watching on Netflix.

Personally, I would like to make a career of adapting books to film because I want people to experience the emotions I feel while reading their stories.

Perhaps by doing this, we as a society can learn, grow and become more tolerant as a result of seeing various people depicted on the screen. I might even enjoy going to the movies again.

VOODOO 2016 HIGHLIGHTS

Voodoo Fest offered variety of performers, attractions

BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler

This weekend, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience livened up New Orleans’ City Park. Bringing in tens of thousands of festival-goers, hundreds of Harley Quinn costumes and over 60 acts, the festival quickly established itself as one to remember.

With big names like The Chainsmokers, G-Eazy and The Weeknd, numerous local food and drink options and various special attractions, there’s a lot to love. Here are the 10 best aspects of the festival, in no particular order.

1. LOCATION

2. HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

5. THE FERRIS WHEEL

There’s a reason Voodoo is in New Orleans. The culture, uniqueness and happy-go-lucky attitude run through the veins of each and every person who comes through the city.

Unmatched by any other American city, the New Orleans vibe shines through each attendee.

Festival-goers are known for going all-out with their outfits, and because Voodoo is held over Halloween weekend, this tradition is heightened. Attendees of all ages could be seen sporting costumes, whether individual or with a group. Power Rangers, Elvis Presley, flying monkeys, Ken Bone and even Jesus Christ could be seen roaming the City Park grounds.

To add to the fun, attendees could hop on the Ferris wheel when waiting between musical acts. From the top of the Ferris wheel, riders could view the entire park in all of its grandeur.

3. G-EAZY G-Eazy’s Friday performance on the Altar Stage was a must-see. Dressed as the Joker, complete with green hair and makeup, he embodied the festival’s Halloween vibe. He incorporated both new and old songs into his show, including “I Mean It,” “Me, Myself & I” and “Tumblr Girls.”

6. THE WEEKND The Weeknd, who also performed Friday, was another crowd pleaser.

Having quickly risen to the top of the charts, he sang his way into the hearts of many, the size of the crowd he attracted a testament to his success. He performed many of his hits, including “Often,” “Earned It” and “Starboy.”

7. VENDOR VILLAGE Between acts, festival-goers could browse the vendor village located in the center of the park. Hats, jewelry and original artwork, among other goods, were available for purchase.

8. FORKED UP FOOD COURT The Forked Up Food Court has something for everyone, offering burgers, Cajun dishes, crepes and even vegetarian and vegan options. Local restaurants, including Blue Oak BBQ, Dat Dog and Jambalaya Girl, showcased their best at affordable prices.

Saturday’s Puzzle Solved

At a festival, it’s easy to get caught up with the headlining acts, but Voodoo offers a variety of lesser known groups as well. Playing in a Voodoo festival allows the performers access to an entirely new demographic, providing the opportunity to get their names out there and gain new fans.

Saving the best for last, the ever-popular disc jockey duo, The Chainsmokers, graced the Le Plur stage as one of the final acts. They performed hits through their “blurred lines” style, which combines indie, pop, EDM and hip hop, and brought a sense of closure to the weekend.
