Directed by Jon Favreau Sony Pictures Entertainment 3 stars Somewhere between kissing Brad Pitt in “Interview with a Vampire” and dating Peter Parker in “Spider-Man,” Kirsten Dunst had a cuter performance in “Jumanji,” a film that is probably only remembered for a bewilderingly scary performance by Robin Williams. “Zathura,” a pseudo-sequel to “Jumanji,” is thankfully nothing like its predecessor. The premise is the same, but this is an entirely...
...member of the tennis team. “It may not be for everyone, but it certainly helps my game.”Even Harvard men’s heavyweight crew—the 2005 National Champions—incorporates yoga into its program. Head Coach Harry Parker says, “We don’t have an official yoga class, but we do use yoga exercises as part of our stretching routine to improve flexibility and as a form of injury prevention.” While not all Harvard teams offer yoga, many athletes attend yoga sessions elsewhere...
After sitting out last season with a knee injury, Parker will make her long-awaited college debut next month. She's coming off a "miserable" year; in addition to being sidelined, Parker says, within her first two weeks on campus someone called her by the N word.

...Parker is about to become a hero to many women, she's happy to embrace the cause. She has plenty to say about what she views as the second-class treatment female athletes receive.

Parker notes a similar situation last season when, while traveling with the women's basketball team, she got home in the middle of the night but had to be in class...
...woman says female athletes are "more disciplined" than men and disses Elvis in the heart of Tennessee ("He was a copycat"), yet she stays tight-lipped about the victim of her dunk. To his credit, Ryan Childress, a 6-ft. 9-in. freshman, is willing to fess up (yes, Parker slammed on a man 5 in. taller). Childress insists the tale has been exaggerated--"I was in the area," he says, laughing--but four eyewitnesses confirm Parker's account. No need to be ashamed, Ryan. You won't be the last person Parker dominates...
