EX-Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville considering running for governor of Alabama

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tommy Tuberville could be turning in his coaching headset for a career in politics.

The former Auburn head coach is considering running for governor of Alabama in 2018, according to Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports.

Dodd reports that Tuberville is in the process of gauging interest for his entry into next year's gubernatorial race by conducting a "statewide phone poll involving about 50,000 people," and is expected to make a decision on the matter in the next week or two.

Tuberville, a Republican and 62-year-old native of Arkansas, has no prior experience in state politics, though Dodd notes that could actually help his potential candidacy.

"Everybody wants non-politicians now," a source told Dodd. "Eighty-percent of it is name recognition."

Tuberville went 85-40 overall as Auburn's head coach from 1999-2008, including six straight victories over rival Alabama from 2002-07. He led the Tigers to five SEC West titles and one SEC Championship in 2004. Tuberville stepped down as head coach of Cincinnati in December following a dismal 4-8 season for the Bearcats.

Three men were wounded in the shooting at a crowded bar in Olathe on Wednesday night and one of them later died.

Police are investigating whether the fatal shooting of a man in the US state of Kansas was racially motivated.

Three men were wounded in the shooting at a crowded bar in Olathe on Wednesday night and one of them later died.

A barman told local media a man used racial slurs before opening fire. Two of the victims, including the deceased, are Indian.

Adam Purinton, 51, has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder and the FBI is investigating a motive.

Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died while his friend Alok Madasani, 32, remains in hospital in a stable condition.

The two men were engineers at US technology company Garmin and studied in India, according to their social media profiles.

The other injured man, Ian Grillot, 24, had apparently intervened to stop the violence, according to witnesses.

Speaking from his hospital bed to local TV News channel KMBC, he brushed aside suggestions that he was a hero.

"I was just doing what anyone should have done for another human being," he said. "It's not about where he's from or his ethnicity.

"We're all humans. So I just felt I did what was naturally right to do."

Mr Purinton is accused of shooting customers at Austin's Bar and Grill as they watched the University of Kansas basketball team play on television.

A bystander told the Kansas City Star that just before opening fire the gunman shouted: "Get out of my country."

The suspect allegedly fled on foot and was arrested five hours later at an Applebee's restaurant just over the state border, 80 miles (130km) away in Clinton, Missouri.

The Kansas City Star reported that he told a staff member at the dining chain he needed a place to hide because he had killed two Middle Eastern men.

A barman there tipped off police that he had a customer who had admitted shooting two men and the officers arrived to detain the suspect.

Olathe Police Chief Steve Menke declined to comment on the reports of racial abuse but said his force was working with the FBI "to investigate any and all aspects of this horrific crime".

The killing dominated news bulletins in India and social media, where some blamed Donald Trump's presidency.

Siddharth, an Indian actor who uses one name, tweeted to his 2.6 million followers: "Don't be shocked! Be angry! Trump is spreading hate. This is a hate crime! RIP #SrinivasKuchibhotla."

Mr Madasani's father, Jaganmohan Reddy, also called it a hate crime, adding that such incidents had increased in number following Mr Trump's election.

Mr Kuchibhotla was from the Indian city of Hyderabad. His parents, Madhusudhan Rao and Vardhini Rao, were too stunned by news of his death to comment, the Associated Press reported.

The Indian external affairs ministry said two Indian consulate officials from Houston and Dallas have been sent to Kansas City to meet Mr Madasani and arrange the repatriation of Mr Kuchibhotla's body.

The US Embassy in New Delhi decried the shooting.

"The United States is a nation of immigrants and welcomes people from across the world to visit, work, study, and live," said Charge d'Affaires MaryKay Carlson.

"US authorities will investigate thoroughly and prosecute the case, though we recognise that justice is small consolation to families in grief."

SpaceX docks with space station on second try

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A SpaceX capsule has successfully docked with the International Space Station.

A NASA commander and a European Space Agency engineer captured the Dragon space capsule just before 6 a.m. ET using a robotic arm, according to NASA. A previous attempt was aborted because of a navigation problem.

The capsule is packed with more than 5,000 pounds of cargo and experiments for the six astronauts on board the space station, including two from the United States, three from Russia and one from France. It is the 10th supply mission that SpaceX has flown for NASA.

The company, run by Elon Musk, has yet to launch a manned flight. It has a contract with NASA to deliver astronauts to the space station one day using the Dragon capsule.

Russia also has a supply capsule on its way to the space station.

SpaceX has suffered two major failures in the last two years -- a June 2015 supply mission that exploded minutes after launch, and a rocket that exploded during fueling on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in September.

But SpaceX returned to space with a successful satellite launch in January. And the launch of this supply mission on Sunday was flawless.

After the crew unloads the Dragon, the vessel will be packed with trash and other items and return to Earth. It is set to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico in March.

Brassy love ballads, Technicolor dialogue, and a smattering of soft-shoe- La La Land had all the makings of a blockbuster, in the 1940s at least. Today, the mass market of moviegoers prefer action to romance, aliens to artists, and above all else the blossoming genre of superhero bros in tights.

It's no surprise that La La Land was a hit with critics and remains the heavy favorite to win the Academy Award for Best Picture on Feb. 26. What's improbable, however, is how widely the film has won favor. Of late, the most critically praised films tended to have little clout with consumers: The Hurt Locker, which won Academy bragging rights in 2009, managed just $17 million in domestic theaters, for example. But La La Land is packing them in like an esoteric jazz club that suddenly becomes the "it" spot. Life, it seems, is following the script.

"We all thought it was going to be something very special," Erik Feig, co-president of the motion picture group at Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., said in an interview. "But if you asked any of us if we were going to be approaching $400 million, we would have told you to wake up."

With a win on Sunday and a corresponding bump from Oscar buzz, La La Land will likely become the top-grossing Best Picture since Lord of the Rings: Return of the King in 2003. Going into this weekend, the paean to the city of angels had garnered $135 million in domestic theaters and an additional $206 million abroad.

And there are a few weeks left in its theater run-possibly more if it wins. On top of that, the film has only been showing in China, the world's No. 2 movie market, since Feb. 14.

This dreamy run, however, is no happy accident. It's the product of a string of savvy, somewhat counter-intuitive decisions. In Hollywood, Lions Gate is best known as a bit of a value investor. It generally backs small- to mid-sized films that have "breakout potential." It also spreads the risk by bringing in financing partners and lowers its costs by occasionally giving major talent a cut of the profits.

Instead of the Marvel comic book catalog, it snapped up the Hunger Games series. Rather than Star Wars, it has Power Rangers. To be sure, Lions Gate has had its flops. Its Divergent series has managed only a shadow of the success of Hunger Games. But over time, Feig said, the company has improved its decision-making to the point that 70 percent of its films are profitable.

In terms of investing, Lions Gate has a few simple rules-rules that apply to any business looking to stand out in a crowd. Work with talented people, protect their vision, and don't try to please everyone.

"Most of our films, in some ways, are contrarian bets," Feig said. "We're programmatically oriented to embrace the fact that something is different because we want to give the audience the pleasure of discovering something new."

As a general proposition, he explained, consumers often have no idea what they really want.

The company's La La Land courtship began at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, when Damien Chazelle premiered Whiplash, his breakout hit about a drumming phenom clashing with a mercurial conductor. Lions Gate tried to buy the distribution rights but lost out to Sony. It did hit it off with Chazelle, however. "We asked him what he wanted to do next and he said, kind of sheepishly 'a musical,'" Feig recalled. "We were like, 'Great!' And he was like, 'Really?'" A musical these days is a seemingly foolish bet, but it does fall squarely in the camp of not trying to please everybody.

Early in production, Lions Gate made a second illogical move: It encouraged Chazelle, the writer and director, to spend more money than he had originally planned-about $30 million. With it, they were able to afford more expensive lead actors in Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, as well as blowing out a few scenes, namely the intro montage, which involved closing a Los Angeles interstate in the middle of the day. "We thought there was a chance we could get a rebate from the city for that, which I should note we didn't," Feig said.

The scene did, however, secure financing from Black Label Media. "We just loved what we saw," said Joseph Cohen, whose American Entertainment Investors consulted on the deal. "We figured it could have big commercial appeal, though a musical with a budget over $30 million was not a slam dunk."

Spending big where it matters is another thing Lions Gate has fine-tuned over the years. "You pick your moments," said Basil Iwanyk, whose Thunder Road Pictures produced both John Wick films, Sicario, and a string of other movies distributed by Lions Gate. "When you spend your resources in those certain spots and really deliver, the movie is going to feel a lot bigger than the budget is," he said. 1

Finally, Lions Gate was realistic about its audience. When judging a project's potential, the company tries to picture two consumers: the most likely fan-in this case, Broadway junkies-and a second, wider demographic that might get sucked in. For La La Land, the company was hoping for couples and older women. The film, it turns out, over-performed on all fronts.

Some 36 percent of La La Land viewers are male, according to survey data from comScore and Screen Engine LLC, and the audience is almost perfectly balanced by age, with about a quarter of viewers under 25 and a quarter over 55. Abroad, La La Land has garnered almost twice as much ticket revenue as the next-closest nominee, Hacksaw Ridge. The French, in particular, are gaga over it.

In short, the return on investment on a singing Gosling has been surprisingly good and is getting better by the day. Iwanyk said films that cost from $30 million to $50 million are becoming a sweet spot for the industry. The biggest studios-squarely focused on potential blockbusters-aren't bothering. Yet, as the industry launches one breakout after the next, investors have come clamoring. "Honestly, it's a seller's market," he said. "The upside is ginormous and the downside is relatively light."

Cohen, a former investment banker, agreed. There's more money and more potential buyers in the independent film market than he's ever seen before. "It's the opposite of just doing the next giant shark movie," he said. "Because, at some point, the next shark movie won't work."

For Hollywood, La La Land represents a new script for success, and its legacy will be that precious currency: optimism. Studio executives who spend their days modeling projected cash flows the way junior investment bankers do long into the night will be slightly more inclined to go all gauzy-eyed and think: "Maybe, just maybe, I can make it."

"The only risk you can take these days is not taking a risk," Feig said.

Of course, it doesn't always equal reward, as that old saw can be misleading. But sometimes, if the stars align, it can be commensurate-and then some.
