Kevin Quinn/Daily Superior Court Judge David Evergreen Frazier granted a change of venue from Whitman County to Cowlitz County in southwestern Washington. He also granted a one-week delay, so Russell will appear before the court in Kelso on Oct. 15, County Clerk Shirley Bafus said. The delay was asked for by the state Attorney General’s prosecution team so they can bring about 60 witnesses to the court. Russell’s defense attorney Francisco Duarte originally asked Frazier for a change of venue in July, saying it would not be possible for his client to have a fair trial because of media KEVIN QUINN/DAILY EVERGREEN coverage and the public’s beliefs Graffiti adorns a cement wall outside of Todd Hall.

music brief The Eagles to perform at CMAs for the first time NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Eagles will perform during this fall’s Country Music Association Awards for the first time, a nod to the success of their new single, “How Long,” on country radio. The song is from the group’s first new studio album in 28 years, “Long Road out of Eden,” which will be released Oct. 30. The single is No. 26 on the Billboard country chart. “From the early ‘70s this group has defined country rock, and more than three decades later they are still creating music that resonates with our audience,” said CMA chief operating officer Tammy Genovese. The 41st annual awards show airs Nov. 7 from Nashville on ABC. Other artists scheduled to perform include George Strait, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood. The Eagles – Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit – have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, earning five No. 1 U.S. singles and four Grammy Awards. Their “Greatest Hits 1971-1975” is the best-selling album of all time, exceed- ing sales of 29 million units.

nation brief Nike develops first shoe MiX wants YOU. for American Indians BEAVERTON, Ore. — Nike on mix.dailyevergreen. Tuesday unveiled what it said is the com/bestof first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a popu- lation with high obesity rates. The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look. It will be dis- tributed solely to American Indians; tribal wellness programs and tribal schools nationwide will be able to purchase the shoe at wholesale price and then pass it along to individuals, often at no cost. “Nike is aware of the grow- ing health issues facing Native Americans,” said Sam McCracken, manager of Nike’s Native American Business program. “We are stepping up our commitment ... to elevate the issue of Native American health and wellness.” Nike said it is the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity. It said all profits from the sale of the shoe will be reinvested in health programs for tribal lands, where problems with obesity, diabe- tes and related conditions are near epidemic levels in some tribes. Nike designers and researchers looked at the feet of more than 200 people from more than 70 tribes nationwide and found that in gen- eral, American Indians have a much wider and taller foot than the aver- age shoe accommodates. The aver- age shoe width of men and women measured was three width sizes larger than the standard Nike shoe.
