Goonies

Last month, Empire Magazine offered a treat to movie fans everywhere, assembling the cast of 1985’s
“The Goonies” for the periodical’s 20th anniversary issue. It wasn’t their first get-together since the movie’s wrap — they all reunited for a DVD commentary in 2001 — but they gathered once more for a trip down memory lane.

White Sox

Even though San Diego Padres ace Jake Peavy has a no-trade clause and has consistently expressed a desire to remain in the National League, White Sox general manager Kenny Williams tried landing the right-hander last week.

“I had a girl in high school that always said she wasn’t going to go out with me, either,” Williams said Friday. “I ended up taking her to the prom. I don’t much care about odds. People say the odds are this and the odds are that. I’ve been kicking odds in the (butt) my whole life to accomplish things.”

While Peavy didn’t completely slam the door on approving the deal to the Sox, the odds still appear to be too high for even Williams to hurdle.

(AP) Saturday was a record-setting night for a novice craps player at an Atlantic City casino.

Patricia Demauro set a new record for the longest craps roll, hanging on for four hours and 18 minutes at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

Borgata officials say she beat the previous record by one hour and 12 minutes. They say Stanley Fujitake of Honolulu, set that record nearly 20 years ago in Las Vegas.

“This was only my second time playing craps, so this was very exciting for me to be a part of history,” says Demauro, who lives in Denville in northern New Jersey.

Demauro bought into a game for $100 and quickly amassed a cheering crowd. When she finally lost around 12:31 a.m., after 154 rolls of the dice, she was greeted by Borgata with a champagne toast.

The casino wouldn’t say how much Demauro won.
