Wednesday, November 30, 2016 Today feels a little more like winter with a high of 44 degrees. It’s going to be cloudy, too, so make sure you grab a coat before that 8 a.m. because it’s going to be a chilly 34 degrees this morning.
Rhyan Loos had a successful brain surgery Missouri basketball assistant coach Brad Loos reported that his 6-year-old daughter Rhyan had a successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her brain. Last year, Rhyan was diagnosed with stage-four neuroblastoma, and the Columbia community rallied behind her to raise money for the family. This inspired the #RallyforRhyan campaign. The Rally for Rhyan Facebook page announced Thanksgiving Day that Rhyan’s cancer had returned in the form of a brain tumor, but after a long surgery yesterday, her father tweeted, “Rhyan’s surgery was a huge success! They were able to remove all of the tumor that they saw. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!”
Former Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel’s cancer is in remission Last year, Pinkel stepped down from his position due to his battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Yesterday, he said on a radio show in St. Louis that his cancer is in remission. Pinkel acknowledged that it could be a substantial amount of time before he is cancer-free.
“People have been so kind to me,” Pinkel said. “I could be in remission for six months or six years, I don't know. I'm just trying to stay healthy as I can. By the way, there are a lot of people out there with cancer a lot worse than mine. When you get it, you're part of a team. We all fight and we all battle. It's neat to see the support that people have for those that have cancer all over this country.”
Regions of Columbia have been designated as a food desert A substantial portion of campus, downtown and an area south of Stadium Boulevard and east of Providence Road qualify as a food desert, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An area is considered to be a food desert when a “significant number of low-income residents live more than a mile from a supermarket.” One option near campus is Lucky’s Market, but many people are deterred by its higher prices and how far it is from campus. The Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services and student leaders on campus are both working to find a solution through initiatives that educate both vendors and customers about the benefits of eating healthy.
What MOVE recommends...

Thursday, December 1, 2016 The sun will be out but the temperature won’t get much higher than yesterday. The high is 45 degrees and the low is 28, so bundle up — hats, gloves, scarves and all. You’ll thank us later.
Mumps cases are on the rise — again The number of mumps cases has risen from 73 confirmed before Thanksgiving break to 128 confirmed or probable cases. The majority of cases have had some connection with Greek Life, and all students who get the virus are encouraged to stay home for at least five days. Some symptoms of mumps include sore muscles, difficulty swallowing, fever, fatigue, dry mouth and headaches.
Mizzou wide receiver Keyon Dilosa was arrested outside of Harpo’s The Columbia Police Department arrested Keyon Dilosa, a redshirt sophomore from Missouri football, yesterday morning after an altercation outside of Harpo’s. Latisha Stroer, a police department public information officer, told The Maneater that a witness observed Dilosa arguing with a 20-year-old woman with whom he had an intimate relationship. The witness also reported seeing Dilosa hit the woman in the face with a closed fist. Bystanders restrained Dilosa until police arrived. After Dilosa posted a $1,000 bail, he was released. He is suspended from the football team indefinitely.
This is the second time this month a Missouri football player has been arrested. Freshman running back Damarea Crockett was arrested earlier in the month on suspicion of possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana.
FAFSA plans to make the process a little easier This year, FAFSA started accepting submissions on Oct. 1 instead of the previous date of Jan. 1. This change gives students more time to complete the process. With an earlier start time, FAFSA now requires income information for the previous tax year.
“Students have always kind of had to wait on parents to complete their tax information,” Director of Financial Aid Nick Prewett said. “When you take that out of the equation it makes it a lot easier.”

What MOVE recommends... Some writers take years to write a novel — others take a month. November is known as National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. The goal: write 50,000 words in 30 days, which averages out to 1,667 words a day. Participants worked down to the wire last night to say that they successfully wrote a novel in just 30 days. Art Smith finished his sixth consecutive NaNoWriMo novel last night.
“Speaking just for myself, NaNoWriMo is a tremendous writing exercise,” Smith said. “It forces you to turn off your inner editor and just write, getting past a lot of the roadblocks that prevent people from ever writing their story.”
Read the full NaNoWriMo story here.
Recap: The Lakers beat the Bulls 96-90, the Spurs beat the Mavericks 94-87 and the Thunder beat the Wizards 126-115.
What to Watch: The Mavericks play the Hornets at 6 p.m., the Clippers play the Cavaliers at 7 p.m. and the Heat play the Jazz at 8 p.m.

A GoFundMe created for "Sandy from Plaza" raised over $4,000 in nine hours

The page went viral on social media and raised thousands of dollars. Sandy met with the students who started the fundraiser last night, and she decided to donate all the proceeds to MizzouThon because of her love of Children’s Miracle Network. You can find the GoFundMe here.
Mizzou defensive lineman Charles Harris will enter into the 2017 NFL draft
Because of this, Harris, a redshirt junior, is forgoing his final year of collegiate eligibility, so he won’t play his senior year here. He held a press conference yesterday to announce his decision. Currently, he is tied for third in number of sacks in the Southeastern Conference, with nine.
“I want to give a special thanks to all my past teammates and my current teammates for making me not only a better football player, but a better teammate, brother and a better man in general,” Harris said.
Next semester, you'll be able to donate your extra swipes
Tiger Pantry and Campus Dining Services are joining forces to allow students with meal plans to donate up to 10 swipes to Tiger Pantry clients. The transferred swipes will only be redeemable at all-you-can-eat locations, such as Rollins and Plaza 900. Students who plan to donate swipes must donate them before the last two weeks of the semester.

Now, we live in a different world, where analysis of the show goes extremely in-depth. Here are five reads for all the fans of Stars Hollow:
1. The Atlantic: Turns Out, Rory Gilmore Is Not a Good Journalist
2. The New Yorker: My Life With Rory Gilmore

If you’re planning on watching something else this weekend, Netflix now allows you to download episodes for offline viewing, so even if Tiger WiFi decides to give you the cold shoulder, nothing will stop you from binge-watching. However, certain titles, like Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, aren’t available for download yet.
If you like cooking: Treat yo’ self in preparation for finals and make this baked gruyere and sausage omelet. It only takes 10 minutes to prep, but it looks (and tastes) incredible. You bake it and cut it into triangle pieces like cake, and it’s a great breakfast to make in advance.
If you like wine: A pinot noir would pair well with the sausage in the cooking recipe, but if you don’t like red wine, try a pinot grigio or a pinot gris, which will pair well with the gruyere.

From The Maneater Sports Desk, everything you need to know about the week in sports, at Mizzou and beyond.
In this week’s newsletter: a Sweet Sixteen appearance for volleyball, a fairly clear college football playoff picture, and what Mizzou football will do without Charles Harris.
(Emil Lippe)
Missouri volleyball defeated Purdue 3-1 on Friday in Columbia, advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament to face Minnesota. Here’s how the game went down:
The Tigers tallied one of their best sets all year in the opening set, winning 25–13. Purdue could not keep pace with blockers Alyssa Munlyn and Kira Larson, who had big kills that shut down the Boilermaker defense. In front of an energetic crowd, the Tigers had a .571 hitting percentage.
“Our first set was clean,” redshirt junior Melanie Crow said. “We had no errors, and our back row played really well.”
Purdue adjusted in the second set and brought its trademark Big 10 toughness. It held Missouri to a .211 hitting percentage, winning 25–22. The Tigers showed strength at times during the set, but the Boilermakers had an answer for most of what Missouri threw at them.
“After the second set, we went to the locker room and talked about what we needed to do better,” Larson said. “We talked about going for it and being aggressive.”
The Tigers returned to the court in control and ready to swing. Crow tallied her 15th kill of the night and had a couple of bangers in the middle of the set that stunned the Boilermakers. The Tigers looked sharp with a .480 hitting percentage while the Boilermakers hit .056.
The Tigers won the fourth set to claim a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. The set started off well for Missouri, but it shifted back and forth — the Boilermakers would not go down without a fight. The Tigers tallied 18 kills in the set to run Purdue into trouble defensively. Crow contributed 10 of the Missouri kills on the set. Unable to find an answer, Purdue’s tournament run ended at the Hearnes Center.
The game served as a rematch from 2013, when the Tigers fell to Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
“Missouri has a unique style of play,” Purdue coach Dave Shondell said. “They are amazing both offensively and defensively. This is a better team than I saw three years ago.” Charles Harris announces he will enter the NFL Draft. (Peter Baugh)
As Missouri defensive end Charles Harris announced Thursday he will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft in April, family members, coaches and players smiled.
Many Tigers fans also smiled, knowing a ninth Missouri defensive lineman will be drafted in an eight- year period. Those grins likely didn’t stay for long, however, when they realized what it means for the Tigers:
What now for the defensive line?
Harris led the team with nine sacks, 12 tackles for loss and finished second on the team with 61 total tackles in 2016. He played a vocal leadership role as well.
Life without Harris won’t be easy for the Missouri defense next season, but Harris said the player who will likely fill the void revealed himself last Friday against Arkansas.
“The torch will be passed on to Marcell Frazier,” Harris said. “I put that pressure on him because I know he wants that pressure. It is definitely Marcell.”
Frazier showed he can handle that pressure against the Razorbacks. His three sacks and four tackles for loss earned him recognition as Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week. Frazier, a junior, finished the season with 8.5 sacks.
Not too bad of a finish for a junior-college transfer in his second season with Missouri.
“It is amazing how he came in, transferring from [junior college],” Harris said. “He picked [everything] up instantly.” Jordan Harold and Spencer Williams will also return next season after starting at times in 2016. Harold registered 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss. Williams did not get a sack or tackle for loss.
Other defensive linemen who contributed in 2016 and will be back next season include freshman Markell Utsey and sophomore Nate Howard at defensive end. A.J. Logan and Terry Beckner Jr. also return and are projected to start at the two defensive tackle spots next season.
Also, watch for Tre Williams, one of Missouri’s top overall prospects coming out of high school last season.
Defensive tackles Rickey Hatley and Josh Augusta played their senior seasons in 2016 and will not be back.
Despite Hatley, Augusta and Harris’ exit, Harris is excited for the Missouri defensive line’s future.
“I have no doubt in my mind D-Line Zou will be great next year and will continue to be great,” Harris said.

No. 7 Penn State beat No. 6 Wisconsin in a close Big 10 Championship game 38-31. FiveThirtyEight now puts their chances of getting in to the playoff at 14 percent. No. 1 Alabama picked apart No. 15 Florida in the SEC Championship game 54-16. (Devotees will note that then-No. 1 Alabama beat then-No. 16 Missouri by only 29 points back in the 2014 SEC Championship.) No. 3 Clemson took care of business against No. 23 Virginia Tech 42-35 to win the ACC Championship.
The playoff picture: Alabama, Washington, Ohio State and Clemson are now widely expected to take the four College Football Playoff spots. All of the teams in action did what they had to do, and it doesn’t look like the committee will pick two-loss Penn State over one-loss Ohio State.
