Born in New York City on April 13, 1923, Don Adams was a stand-up comedian before landing his breakout role as Maxwell Smart on NBC's hit sitcom Get Smart in the 1960s. Later in his career, he was the voice of Inspector Gadget on the popular 1980s cartoon of the same name. Adams died in Los Angeles, California, on September 25, 2005.
Early Life
Famed television actor Don Adams was born Donald James Yarmy on April 13, 1923, in New York City. Born of Irish-Hungarian heritage, Adams served in the U.S. Marine Cops during World War II. Although he started his post-war career as an engineer, Yarmy turned to stand-up comedy in the 1950s, changing his name to Adams because he got tired of being last during alphabetical auditions.
Acclaimed TV Actor
Don Adams's comedy act soon segued into appearances on The Perry Como Show. He later landed a role on NBC's hit sitcom Get Smart, for which he won three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart. The show ended in 1970, and Adams signed on for the short-lived comedy series The Partners.
Adams's next project was Don Adams' Screen Test, which only lasted one season, followed by better success with Canadian Broadcasting's Check it Out.
Later Years
Later in life, Adams continued making nightclub and television guest appearances. He also lent his voice for the 1980s animated cartoon Inspector Gadget. He has been married three times and has seven children. Adams died on September 25, 2005, at the age of 82, in Los Angeles, California.

->''"You've finally been granted your Pokémon Trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokémon in this enormous world...can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight Gym Leaders and become the greatest Pokémon Master of all time?"''
-->-- '''Blurb''' on the back of the boxes of ''Pokémon Red and Blue Versions''
The first installments of the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise hit the GameBoy in 1996 in Japan (as ''Red'' and ''Green''; see below) and in 1998 in North America. Taking place in Kanto based on the Japanese region of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Kanto]], the [[ExcusePlot plot is simple]]: [[HelloInsertNameHere you, an eleven-year-old with a]] NiceHat, are offered your very first [[{{Mon}} Pokémon]] by Professor Oak, the local authority on Pokémon. He gives you a choice of three different types: [[GreenThumb Bulbasaur]], [[PlayingWithFire Charmander]], or [[MakingASplash Squirtle]]. His own grandson, your long-time [[TheRival Rival]], gets second pick, and takes advantage of this to snag [[ElementalRockPaperScissors whichever one happens to be strong against your chosen partner]].
In exchange for your first Pokémon, Oak wants you to run an errand for him: [[WalkingTheEarth travel around the region]] and [[GottaCatchEmAll collect as many different Pokémon as you can]], recording all of them in your Pokédex. Of course, along the way, you're more than welcome to challenge the eight Pokémon Gyms, collect their badges, and take on the Elite Four in hopes of [[ToBeAMaster becoming the Champion]] of the Pokémon League. Then there's the emerging threat of Team Rocket, a [[CardCarryingVillain proudly evil organization]] that uses Pokémon for its own selfish ends. Somebody's gonna have to deal with ''them'', too -- and who better than an eleven-year-old and his [[FluffyTamer team of trained monsters]]?
While the game's balance is undeniably broken (Balance? Psychic types LAUGH at your pitiful thoughts of BALANCE!), and glitches abound (Missingnoooooo!)... it's ''Pokémon''.
It should be noted that in Japan, the first two games were released as ''Red'' and ''Green''. ''Blue'' was released later as a third version, [[UpdatedRerelease with a bit of a graphical improvement over the originals]]. For the international releases, the names ''Red'' and ''Blue'' were used. Although the Japanese Blue provided the graphics and game script for translation, the Japanese Red and Green provided the wild and version-exclusive Pokémon for the international Red and Blue respectively. This makes the Japanese Blue the only main series game to lack an international release.
As evidence of its incredible popularity, ''Pokémon Yellow'' was later released as a fourth version in Japan in 1998, and as a third international version in 1999. ''Yellow'' took elements from the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} TV series]] and [[RecursiveAdaptation transported them back into the games]], however loosely. Instead of picking one of the usual trio, a wild Pikachu ends up as your starter, and [[AllInARow follows you everywhere]] rather than [[PartyInMyPocket getting into the usual Poké Ball]]. The familiar Team Rocket trio also show up, although Meowth acts as a normal mon as opposed to an equal member to Jesse and James, acting as the third member in their party alongside Ekans/Arbok and Koffing/Weezing.
Jump ahead a couple gens, and ''Red'' and ''Blue'' reappeared once more in the form of their {{Video Game Remake}}s on the GameBoyAdvance: ''[=FireRed=]'' and ''[=LeafGreen=]''. These allowed players to relive the classic games with many of the new benefits, tweaks, and balances of the second and third generations, though it took some {{Retcon}}ning here and there, and added in some new areas to explore after finishing the familiar challenge(s).
These games have received two animated adaptations. The first one is the first season of the main Anime/PokemonAnime. The second one is the anime special MiniSeries titled ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'', which aired on October 2, 2013 in Japan (10 days prior to the release of the tie-in games ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'') and is set for a November 2013 release in the United States. This miniseries essentially serves as a more accurate depiction of the plot of ''Red and Blue/Green'', being a TruerToTheText AnimeOfTheGame in comparison to the main ''Pokémon'' anime.
Another detail worth noting is that many of the tropes listed under ''Red'' and ''Blue'''s category also apply to ''Yellow'', ''[=FireRed=]'', and ''[=LeafGreen=]''.
!!Tropes used in ''Red'' and ''Blue'':
* AllThereInTheManual: The manual explains the basic background of you and your rival, states your age, and states the events that lead up to the start of your adventure.
* TheAnimeOfTheGame: While of course they were the inspiration for the long running Pokémon anime, there is also the new miniseries ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'' based more closely on Red and Blue than the main anime is.
* ApocalypticLog: The records of Mewtwo's birth, found in the Pokémon Mansion.
* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: The chanelers in Lavender Tower. See DemonicPossession Below.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The grumpy old man in Virdian City who initially won't let you pass because... [[DisproportionateRetribution he hasn't had his coffee yet.]] Before it was ever confirmed, many gamers correctly guessed that in the original Japanese version of the game, the old man was actually drunk.
* BreakoutCharacter: Three: Charizard, Pikachu, and Mewtwo. They're arguably the three most popular characters in the series. Pikachu, thanks to the anime, became the mascot of the franchise and even had UpdatedRerelease in Pokemon Yellow to cash in on it's popularity. Charizard and Mewtwo both got two mega forms in the gen 6 games.
* DemonicPossession: All the channelers in Lavender Tower are possessed by Ghost Pokémon (until you defeat them).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[http://www.smogon.com/rb/articles/differences Buttloads.]]
** There's only one Special stat, covering the job of both Special Attack and Special Defense in later games.
** The ElementalRockPaperScissors has a number of oddities. Due to a bug, Psychic mons are immune to Ghost attacks, which are played up by [=NPCs=] and the anime as their primary weakness. Intentionally, Fire is merely "not weak" to Ice instead of resistant, and Bug and Poison are both super effective against each other.
** CriticalHit ratios are not inherent to a move, but calculated based on a mon's speed. Their ''base'' speed, a trait not of the individual mon but the ''species'', and it doesn't go up as you level. Focus Energy, which is supposed to boost the critical ratio, instead quarters it. Moves with a high critical hit ratio do exist, but instead of just having a higher % chance, they use a different formula entirely which nearly guarantees a crit on every move. And crits ignore ''all'' stat changes, not just the ones that would be convenient to ignore.
** Paralysis and Burn cut speed and attack respectively, as intended and carried on into all future games, but the stat change is stacked into the normal stat modifier, instead of being its own thing. Waking from Sleep consumes a turn, which makes the status nigh-unbeatable if your mon outspeeds the enemy.
** Due to glitches, moves with a "100%" hit chance (whether from their base stats or accuracy boosts/evasion drops) will still miss 1/256 of the time (though Swift is immune, being specifically coded to never miss), and recovery moves will fail if the mon's hp is exactly 255 or 511 below its max.
** Roar and Whirlwind can't be used for "pseudo [[StatusBuffDispel hazing]]", because instead of [[SwitchOutMove forcing a switch]] in trainer/link battles, they just don't do anything.
** Speaking of Haze, it's such a good StatusBuffDispel in this game that it removes status ailments, too...but that aspect only works on the ''opponent''.
** The appearances of many Pokémon were codified by the anime and the later Yellow version. In ''Red'' and ''Blue'', some of them are unrecognizable from how they're widely known now. Take a look at [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_1b_074.png Geodude]], [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/45/Spr_1b_091.png Cloyster]], and [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/ce/Spr_1b_092.png Gastly]], for example.
*** Not to mention Koffing having its skull and crossbones ''above'' its face rather than below like in every other appearance.
** There's also the odd open-endedness of a good part of the game. Most of the successor titles would make you take on the Gyms and events in a very set order. While you still need to foil Team Rocket plots in order, you may do so at your own pace and once you beat Misty, you are free to challenge the next four Gyms (Lt. Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina) in whatever order you deem fit.
* EldritchLocation: The infamous Glitch City.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Kanto = the Kanto region of Japan, and eastern Chubu as well, with Johto from [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Generation II]] being based on the western part of Chubu in addition to Kansai. Kanto is the only region in the ''Pokémon'' games to share its name with the Japanese region it is based on, but the geography was still similar with later ones; Johto resembles Kansai and western Chubu, Hoenn and Sinnoh resemble Kyushu and Hokkaido, respectively, Unova resembles [[BigApplesauce New York City]] as well as a bit of [[{{Joisey}} New Jersey]], and Kalos resembles {{UsefulNotes/France}}.
* GuideDangIt: If you didn't add any new caught data to the Pokédex nor bought any Poké Balls by the time you beat Blue on Route 22, you can go to Prof. Oak for free Poké Balls. Outside of Yellow, this will probably need grinding.
* HeroicMime: Played with. You never hear your trainer speak, but attempting to talk to the "Copycat" girl in Saffron City produces dialog, subtitled as your own, of a one-sided conversation; it's the Copycat's dialog, mimicking the things the trainer implicitly said to her.
* InfinityPlusOneElement
** The Dragon type was probably intended to be this, being equally effective against ''all'' other elemental types, despite that there was only one evolutionary family of Dragon-types, and the only actual Dragon-type attack, "Dragon Rage", was a FixedDamageAttack (and exempt from ElementalRockPaperScissors altogether).
** The Psychic type quickly became broken, and not just because the strongest Pokémon in the first generation (the legendary Mewtwo) belonged to that element. Due to a programming error, the type's intended weakness to Ghost-types was instead turned into an immunity. It was weak to Bug-types, but there were few strong Bug-type attacks or Bug Pokémon. Furthermore, most Bug-types and all Ghost-types had Poison as a secondary type, which was weak to Psychic. On the subject of Poison-types, Poison was far and away the most common elemental type of Generation I, including most Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. On top of that, Psychics tended to have a strong Special stat back when Special was the OneStatToRuleThemAll. It was telling that most of the things Gold/Silver added or changed were specifically designed to counteract Psychics (adding Dark and Steel types, splitting Special into two stats).
** Normal only has one weakness, which was Fighting, which is easily covered (Psychic), and it does regular damage to everything except Ghost (immune) and Rock (resist), the former and latter can be covered with Earthquake (wide distribution, and every Ghost-type in the game being Poison-typed helped), and every Rock-type in at the time is weak to Grass and/or Water.
*** The [[PowerCreep increased power]] of Fighting-types over the next few generations and the addition of Steel (which resists Normal-type attacks) nerfed the Normal-type.
* KillerApp: This game singlehandedly revived sales for the aging GameBoy, which ended up getting [[GameBoyColor an upgraded version]] the same year as the North American versions of the games.
* MarketBasedTitle: Described in detail above.
* TheMissingno: The [[EldritchAbomination glitch]] pokemon M and Missingno.
* MundaneMadeAwesome: The original [[BubbleGun BubbleBeam]] animation was accompanied by the visual flashing negative with dramatic sound effects.
* TheNeedless: On Routes 19, 20, and 21, you will encounter swimmers who do nothing but swim and float around. Given the fact that ocean water is very salty and a poor conductor of heat, it's a small wonder how they will never expire from hypothermia and dehydration.
* OffModel: Several of the in-game Pokémon sprites in Japan's ''[[UpdatedRerelease Blue]]'' and the international releases. While the sprites in the original Japanese ''Red''/''Green'' were simply badly drawn, those from ''Blue'' and the international releases were genuinely off-model, getting some of the monsters' most recognizable characteristics plain wrong: for instance, Koffing's skull mark is shown above its face instead of below, Cloyster's shell is horizontal instead of vertical, Kingler has two claws of the same size instead of having one claw bigger than the other, the center egg of Exeggcute being larger than the others instead of them being all the same size and so on. All of the sprites were changed ''again'' for ''Yellow'' to make them more closely resemble the official artwork.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: A Rocket grunt threatens you with this when you refuse to join Team Rocket.
* OneGameForThePriceOfTwo: It's Pokémon.
* OneStatToRuleThemAll: "Special" dictated both attack ''and'' defense power in regard to special-based elements (FireIceLightning, Psychic, etc.). It was toned down a great deal in Generation II, wherein it was divided into separate Special Attack and Special Defense.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Grumbles one turncoat Scientist in Silph Co.:
--> "That rotten PRESIDENT! He shouldn't have sent me to the TIKSI BRANCH! (...) It's in Russian no man's land!"
* SchmuckBait: The [[MagikarpPower Magikarp]] salesman. While a level 5 Pokemon with no useful moves is hardly worth that much money, the good news is you encounter him early in the game, before you can obtain the fishing rod needed to catch a Magikarp normally. So a subversion if you intend to obtain a [[DiscOneNuke Gyarados]] much earlier than normal.
* SequenceBreaking: It is very possible to battle Sabrina before Koga. [[SchmuckBait It is not suggested.]] Most of the trainers in Sabrina's gym are at least as powerful as Koga, and god help you if you're playing the original version, where Psychic-types were [[OneStatToRuleThemAll nigh-unbeatable]].
** Count Erika in too. If one disregards the levels of their Pokémon, Erika, Koga and Sabrina can be fought in any order.
** The S.S. Anne can be skipped entirely if the player is traded a Pokemon with Cut. The badge to use Cut, the Cascade Badge, can be obtained before the S.S. Anne, in which the player usually gains the Cut HM and renders the entire area unnecessary to progress if a trainer already has a Pokemon that can use Cut.
** Because using Cut does not require beating Lt. Surge, he can easily be skipped over. Although skipping him renders Fly useless out of battle, Fly is technically an HM not needed to progress.
* ShoutOut: Considering how Creatures ([[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} aka Ape, Inc.]]) helped make the games, it should come as no surprise to find some vaguely familiar faces in Red and Blue. The [[http://walkthrough.starmen.net/earthbound0/image/screens/36/36-2.png crowning]] [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:150Mewtwo.png example]]...
** A Team Rocket member also mentions that he will make the player character [[Film/TheGodfather an offer he/she cannot refuse]].
** One that [[DummiedOut didn't quite make it]]: Red was originally going to be named [[VideoGame/{{Mother1}} Ninten]].
** When you first start the game, watch the TV in your house. [[Film/StandByMe It shows four boys walking along railroad tracks, and based on your mom's dialogue about children leaving home...]]
** Bill merged with a Pokémon as a result of a failed experiment with a teleporter. [[Film/TheFly Now where have we seen that before?]]
** When you first encounter him, one Hiker trainer in Rock Tunnel says, "Hit me with your best shot!" After the battle, he says, "[[{{Music/PatBenatar}} Fired away!]]"
** The use of a PC to store your monsters seems lifted directly from the original monster collecting game, Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei.
* SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer: In an in-universe example, every Gym has an NPC standing near the entrance who offers general advice about the Gym's leader -- except in Celadon City, where he's too busy playing slots at the Rocket Game Corner.
* SleeperHit: See ItWillNeverCatchOn above.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: "Go, my super bug Pokémon!"
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "Don't touch the poster at the Game Corner! There's no secret switch behind it!"
* TakeThat: When starting a new game, before entering the characters' names, the player's name is initialized to [[Creator/{{Nintendo}} NINTEN]] as a ShoutOut to VideoGame/{{MOTHER}}, and the rival's name to {{SONY}}.
* TeaserEquipment: The bicycle. When you first arrive in Cerulean City, it is on display for 1 million Pokédollars (one Pokédollar more than your carrying capacity). After advancing the plot in the next town, you get a voucher to acquire one for free.
* TonkaTough: A certain ''Red Version'' cartridge was meant to be the very best, like no cartridge ever was - to the point where one might think it had the [[FeedItWithFire Flash Fire]] ability. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwrSkTfzrcE Video can be seen here]]; [[http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/Science/ in-depth process can be seen here]].
* UpdatedRerelease: As mentioned above, the international "Red" and "Blue" versions are actually based on the updated game engine of Japan's updated rerelease, importing the version differences from the original Japanese ''Red'' and ''Green'' versions. Eight versions of the original game were eventually released:
** '''''Red Version''''' and '''''Green Version''''' were the original pair, released in Japan.
** '''''Blue Version''''' was the original "third game", updated from the first pair, also released only in Japan.
** '''''Red Version''''' and '''''Blue Version''''' were the first two games released internationally, based on again-updated code from Japanese ''Blue'' and the differences between the original ''Red'' and ''Green''.
** '''''Yellow Version''''' was released both in and outside Japan, updated yet again from ''Red'' and ''Blue'' as the third game internationally and the fourth in Japan.
** '''''[=FireRed=] Version''''' and '''''[=LeafGreen=] Version''''' were later released on the Game Boy Advance as updated versions to match ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire''.
* WeCanRuleTogether: The Rocket grunt at the end of Cerulean Bridge wishes to recruit you into Team Rocket after seeing you battle. .
* WhereItAllBegan: The map is naturally designed to send you back to your hometown of Pallet after you get the Volcano Badge; additionally, Viridian City, the first town you arrive at after Pallet, is both the location of the 8th Gym, and where the road to the Indigo Plateau starts.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The ghost Marowak.
* {{Yakuza}}: Team Rocket. Changed to TheMafia outside of Japan.
!!Tropes used in ''Yellow'':
* CanonDiscontinuity: Pretty much every change in this version was ignored by ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'', which instead derived everything Kanto-based from ''Red'' and ''Green'' aside from Red's team (Pikachu + three starters). ''Fire Red'' and ''Leaf Green'' also incorporate very little of ''Yellow'''s gameplay.
** Granted, this version was based on the anime rather than what would become the canon of the game series...
* CanonImmigrant: A few characters from the anime can be found in early routes, like AJ and Giselle. Melanie and a much nicer Damien show up to give you Bulbasaur and Charmander as well. Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy show up too. And, of course, there's Jessie and James, who are recurring enemies. Because of game mechanics, though, they aren't named.
** In the original games, Metapod [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness didn't learn Harden upon evolution]][[note]]It did at Level 1, but it was impossible to get ANY Pokémon at that level back then (and Caterpie didn't evolve until Lv. 7, making it plainly impossible), barring [[GoodBadBugs Mew glitch]], and there was no move relearner to teach it the move, so only wild Metapod could learn it[[/note]]; you had to catch another one yourself if you really wanted that move. Ash's Caterpie, when it evolved into Metapod, learned Harden in the anime, and so too does yours in ''Yellow'' version. This has stuck around in later games.
* IdleAnimation: Pikachu will start to look around randomly if you leave your character alone for a while, or jump or spin around after you jump down a ledge and leave Pikachu above.
* RecursiveAdaptation: It's a game based on TheAnimeOfTheGame, and in addition to some [[CanonImmigrant Canon Immigrants]], there are some touch-ups on sprites and pokemon used in Gym battles: Brock and Misty wear their respective outfits from the anime (in the original games, Brock was [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] and Misty wore a bikini), and Lt. Surge only uses Raichu in battle, which is what he also did in the anime.[[note]]He used 3 Pokemon in ''Red and Blue'', and the remakes and later games follow this instead[[/note]].
** Technically it's The Game: [[UpdatedRerelease The Update]]: [[ImportGaming The Import]]: [[TheAnimeOfTheGame The Anime]]: [[LicensedGame The Game]]: [[RunningGag The Update]].
!!Tropes used in ''[=FireRed=]'' and ''[=LeafGreen=]'':
* AscendedMeme: Many new features and secrets seem to call back to the wild rumors that surrounded the original games. For instance, Bill granting you access to a new area (in this case, the [[SideQuest Sevii Islands]]) and the ability to find something by the truck near the S.S. Anne.
** Sadly, [[UrbanLegendOfZelda not a Mew, though]]. A lava cookie, instead.
* {{Bowdlerize}}
** Gambler-class trainers had their titles changed to ''gamer'', leading to things like, "I'm a rambling, gaming dude!" That [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion subverted rhyme]] aside, the change is less jarring considering that gambling is often referred to as "gaming" nowadays (i.e. Indian ''gaming'', the Las Vegas ''Gaming'' Commission, etc.).
** Lavender Town's Pokémon Tower had a possessed woman say "Give...me...your...all"; contrast with the original line, which is "Give...me...your...soul." This particular instance of Bowdlerization seems a bit [[ZigZaggingTrope unpredictable]], as there's another woman whose line remains as "Give...me...blood." in all versions. The "give me your soul" line was mentioned on a Christian Fundamentalist website [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell as an example of how the game was Satanic]]. Perhaps this specific condemnation was common enough that the developers noticed it.
* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Key items from Ruby and Sapphire, while unavailable via standard methods, have descriptions, different than they were in Ruby and Sapphire. For example, Scanner key item:
-->'''RSE''': A device found inside the Abandoned Ship. \\
'''FRLG''': A device used to search for life-forms in water. [[UselessItem It looks too difficult to use]].
%% The "buy it or die" message was added by a hacker and is not present in the game as released by Nintendo.
* DueToTheDead: On Five Island, there is a memorial for a dead Steelix nicknamed Tectonix. The Player can set down a lemonade next to the one that is already there. This earns gratitude from the Trainer next to you, and he gives you [=TM42=] Facade as a thanks.
* ExtendedGameplay: After defeating the Elite Four, the Sevii Islands start opening more so than after Blaine was defeated. The islands are one of the few places in the third generation games where you can capture Johto (or Hoenn) Pokémon.
* ForcedTutorial: Even more so than in the originals, and considering they were the first installments that's saying something. Professor Oak insists on explaining how a Pokémon battle works during your initial battle with your Rival, and ''before you even play the game'', there are mandatory introductory screens showing you [[ViewersAreMorons which buttons do what]] and telling you about the world of Pokémon in even greater detail than Professor Oak. It's understandable the game's producers simply wanted to help newcomers along, but ''come on''.
** One particularly {{egregious}} example occurs right in Pallet Town. A certain [[AscendedExtra woman]] just ''has'' to show you what's written on a newly-placed sign near the lab, to the extent that you will not be able to leave Pallet Town unless you either read the sign or hear her recite what it says -- and all it says is [[CaptainObvious press Start to open the menu.]]
* FunWithPalindromes: The passwords for the Rocket Headquarters on Five Island are "GOLDEEN need log" and "Yes, nah, CHANSEY".
* InconsistentDub: Unlike most examples, the error is present in the Japanese version as well: the Karate King, who was nameless in Generation I like every other Black Belt, was named Kiyo (Nobuhiko in Japanese) in Generation II, in which most Trainers gained names. In the Generation III remakes of the former, which added names to previously nameless Trainers, he's named Koichi (Takenori in Japanese); however, the Generation IV remakes of the latter went back to using the correct name.
** In the corner of Fuschia City is a young girl named "Charine", who self identifies as Koga's daughter in training. [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Janine]], you mean?
** Same case as the Karate King for some Bug Catchers, as well - one on Route 3 mentions that he saw you in Viridian Forest and then compliments you for beating him again if you fight him, but in every version of the Gen III remakes he has a different name from any of the Bug Catchers in the forest.
* MythologyGag: During the credits, the Generation 1 mascots are shown changing from the in-game sprites to poses they had on the Japanese boxart of their respective games.
* NoNameGiven: The female trainer doesn't have an official name. Most fans have settled on Leaf.
* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: Resuming your saved game gives you a quick recap about some of the things you were doing before you saved and quit.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The speech text for most non-player characters is color-coded this way - males will have blue text and females will have red text.
* PurelyAestheticGender: They added a female trainer, but kept the original dialogue. So much for averting the LesYay of your youth...
* {{Retcon}}: In the original versions, there were only 151 known Pokémon in the ''whole world''. In the GameBoy Advance remakes, this was changed to there being only 151 Pokémon known to inhabit the Kanto region.
** Which is a blatant lie itself. The game locks you out of Pokemon like Blissey or Crobat, both evolve from Gen I Pokemon Chansey and Golbat respectively, simply to keep up the illusion.
* ShoutOut: Similar to the ''Film/StandByMe'' shout out present in the originals, you'll instead get one to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' if you play as a female character in the remakes.
* SignificantAnagram: "Tanoby" is an anagram of "botany" and the Tanoby chambers are named after plants. The Japanese name is an anagram of Nanakusa and the chambers are named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanakusa-no-sekku Nanakusa-no-sekku]].
* StealthBasedGame: Optional. If you run, you will draw the attention of most trainers. They will turn to the side you are about to pass them by and challenge you to a battle. Walking allows the Player a chance to slip by them.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Lostelle.

Iron-deficiency anemia is a preventable illness that affects many infants and toddlers in the United States.
Jennifer Rothman, MD, pediatric hematologist and associate director of the Duke Pediatric Sickle Cell Clinic, explains the importance of screening for iron deficiency anemia, symptoms of the disease, and ways to prevent this illness in children.
--Dennis Clements, MD, PhD
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly one third of the world's population may have low red blood cell numbers due to insufficient iron.
In the United States, iron deficiency remains common with 9 percent of toddlers between the ages of 12-36 months having inadequate iron stored in their bodies.
Anemia is when a person has a significantly lower-than-average red blood cell number or a decrease in the protein called hemoglobin (oxygen carrier) for his or her age and gender.
In toddlers, that is defined by the WHO as lower than 11 gm/dL for both boys and girls. In the U.S., 5 percent of toddlers between the ages of 12-36 months have anemia, and iron deficiency is the cause of anemia in 40 percent of those children.
Iron is important for many processes in our body including carrying oxygen to all of our organs. Most of the iron in our body is found in hemoglobin, a protein in our red blood cells. Iron is also stored in our liver, bone marrow, and spleen in a storage form called ferritin.
Iron is necessary to make red blood cells, as well as for normal growth and development. Iron deficiency in infancy may be associated with developmental delays or behavioral problems.
A developing fetus gets all of its iron from its mother during pregnancy. Most of the iron stores are given to the fetus in the third trimester.
A full-term infant born from a healthy mother will have enough iron to support growth and development until four to six months of age. After that, iron needs to be absorbed through the diet in the form of breast milk, iron-fortified formula, solid foods, or vitamin supplements.
Iron deficiency is most often caused by not enough iron absorbed through the diet. Sometimes people lose a lot of iron from the body in the form of blood loss. A good example of that is very heavy menstrual bleeding or bloody diarrhea from inflammatory bowel disease.
Symptoms of iron deficiency include:
Infants, toddlers, teenagers, pregnant women, and, primarily, menstruating females are at risk for iron deficiency.
Special risk factors include:
Due to how common anemia is in childhood and the potential impact of anemia on growth and development, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening for iron deficiency anemia at 12 months of age by checking a hemoglobin level as well as getting a good history for iron deficiency risk factors.
If the hemoglobin is low, then it is helpful to get a full blood count to look at the size and shape of the blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia is associated with small red blood cells, or cells that have a low MCV.
Another helpful test includes a serum ferritin which measures the amount of iron stored in the body. The serum ferritin may be falsely high if your child has recently been sick.
Screening for iron deficiency is recommended at any age for a child who has symptoms or significant risk factors.
If anemia is identified in a child with risk factors for iron deficiency, then it is reasonable to start iron replacement without sending a serum ferritin.
Iron replacement consists of an iron vitamin, either liquid or pill, at a dose of 6 mg/kg/day of elemental iron. Taking the iron supplement with a vitamin C-fortified liquid, such as orange juice, will help the iron be better absorbed. Milk intake should be limited and an iron-rich diet should be encouraged.
If iron deficiency is the cause of the anemia, then an increase in the hemoglobin by 1 gm/dL after four to six weeks is expected. Iron supplementation should be continued for at least six weeks after normalization of the hemoglobin in order to refill the child's iron stores.
A repeat blood count should be performed three to six months after the iron supplement is stopped to make sure the child is maintaining his or her iron stores. If there is not an improvement in hemoglobin while taking iron supplementation, then further investigation is recommended.
Sometimes the lack of improvement is because the iron is not being taken as prescribed or the child's diet has not changed. Other times, the cause of the anemia may not be iron deficiency.
Preterm infants who did not receive many red blood cell transfusions during the newborn period, should receive an iron-containing preterm infant formula or breast milk with an iron-containing vitamin.
Full-term infants can get iron from iron-fortified formula or breast milk. Breast-fed infants should start a vitamin with iron (1mg/kg/day) at four months of age until iron-containing solid foods, like iron-fortified rice cereal, are introduced.
Infants should be weaned to a cup around 12 months and should not start cow's milk until older than 12 months. Cow's milk should be limited to no more than 24 ounces per day (eight to 12 ounces will be sufficient and is much less likely to cause anemia).
Toddler diets should include good sources of iron included red meat, beans, green vegetables, and iron-fortified cereals. Parents raising their children as vegetarians should take special care to identify iron-rich foods.

You never get to the point where you think "I am the adult", but you do get to the point where you think "I've dealt with this before." The older you get, the higher and higher the percentage is of things you've already been through. Have you ever changed a tire? Had a flat tire? Someday, you might, and the next time it happens, you'll know what to do, since you've already done it.
-My dad. I'm 24, and asked if you ever shake the feeling of not being an adult, and this was his response. Probably the most comforting thing he could have said.
Your dad is damn right.

The Delta High School speech team traveled to Grand Junction High School March 1 and 2 to compete with nine Western Slope schools in the district tournament, vying for the opportunity to advance to the state tournament.
The 13-member Delta squad did very well, with six members qualifying for state and another four members finishing in very high alternate positions.
Debate qualifiers were the public forum team of Paige Bowling and Ridge Green, who posted a 3-1 record.
In the public speaking categories, Linh Nguyen qualified in original oratory.
Interpretive categories saw Delta do even better! Adam Malcolm and Christien Mackey not only qualified for state with their duo, they were also named district champions.
Alysha Richards brought another district championship to Delta in poetry and will be competing at state.
Three people were named first alternates, which gives them a good chance to be called up to compete. They are Javier Romero in drama, Ayasha Richards in poetry and Arla Nelson in humor. Haley Donathan was named second alternate in humor.
State qualifiers and any alternates who might get called up will compete at the state tournament to be held at Highlands Ranch High School in Denver March 22 and 23.

Back on track: Canes defeat Penguins 4-1
After having to go the last two weeks with five players out of the lineup, the Hurricanes got four of these players back tonight and put together their best performance of the season. Everything just seemed to come together tonight. The first line was firing on all cylinders, the penalty kill was a perfect five for five and Cam Ward came up big when he needed to, all en route to a 4-1 win over a very good Pittsburgh Penguins team. It's amazing what having a healthy roster can do, because this looked more like the team we have grown used to seeing before the wave of injuries happened.
Getting Skinner back definitely helped, as he scored his eighth goal of the season tonight, but what really sparked Carolina tonight was how well the first line of Eric Staal, Jiri Tlusty and Alexander Semin played. The trio were back to their usual selves after a few off games, combining for three goals and completely dominating the Penguins territorially. The latter point is huge because Muller elected to match them up against Sidney Crosby's line and whenever those two were matched up against each other, the Pens were spending most of the time in their own zone. Being able to have that advantage is huge and it was a key reason why the Canes won this game. Them adding three goals was just icing on the cake.
What Carolina needed more than anything tonight was a confidence booster because it was at an all-time low after that horrible performance against Washington. Getting a few key players back in the lineup along with a few good bounces tonight changed everything and now things are looking up heading into the back-to-back series against the Florida Panthers. Let's just hope that this roster brings this type of performance this weekend.

For those with gluten issues, there's good news and bad news. The bad news first. Recent research suggests that as many as 1 in 133 Americans have celiac disease. When a person with this autoimmune disease eats even a tiny bit of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) the small intestine becomes damaged and nutrients cannot be fully absorbed. This can lead to other health issues, including infertility, osteoporosis and osteopenia (a loss of bone mineral density), and even some cancers.
There are more than 300 symptoms of celiac disease, including itchy rash, depression, chronic fatigue, anemia, numbness, and diarrhea and/or constipation. Take the Celiac Disease Symptoms Checklist at CeliacCentral.org.
If you suspect you have the disease, ask your doctor for a blood test. "Do not stop eating gluten before getting the blood test," advises Joan Panepinto RN, RD, a nutritionist with French Meadow Bakery. If you've already given up foods with gluten, she recommends returning to a glutinous diet for one month prior to testing for accurate results.
If the blood test is positive, arrange a small-bowel biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and check for intestinal damage. Continue to eat a diet containing gluten until the biopsy and then embark on a gluten-free diet.
There are many people who don't have celiac disease but who don't feel well after eating bread, crackers, cereals, or pasta. Reactions may include abdominal pain, bloating, and gas. In these cases, gluten intolerance is likely, Panepinto says. "Your body's trying to give you the clues." The only current treatment for celiac disease is avoiding foods containing gluten. People with gluten sensitivity may also want to cut back on foods with gluten.
The Upside
The good news is that as awareness of gluten issues increase, resources are being created to meet demand. There are online support groups:
The Gluten Intolerance Group of North America
The Celiac Sprue Association
Raising Our Celiac Kids
There are many cookbooks that are geared towards Gluten-Free diets and a growing number of companies that make gluten-free foods from digestible grains including corn, rice, and teff. "We use teff, an ancient grain that originated in East Africa, in our gluten-free wraps," says Jan Remak, executive director of sales and marketing for La Tortilla Factory. The company also provides recipes on its packaging. In addition to wraps, consumers can now find gluten-free soups, flours, snack bars, pizza doughs, breads, burritos, tortilla chips, cookies, dessert mixes, crackers, and cereals on the shelves of their favorite natural food store.
"Gluten free is one of the fastest growing segments of our company," says Matthew Cox, marketing manager of Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods. "Of our more than 400 products, 50 are gluten-free." The company also offers hundreds of gluten-free recipes on its website: www.BobsRedMill.com
"It's not such a burden to be on a gluten-free diet," Cox continues. "I'm not going to say it's easy, but compared to 10 years ago, with regard to food options, it's night and day."

This time of year I'll gladly pay a few cents... or even a few bucks, not to have to drive to and go into a Best Buy. The once or twice I tried to order something shipped to the store I had to wait in the same customer service line as the returns- and gave up at least once. There was no way I was getting to the counter in less than an hour behind all the angry people who couldn't figure out how to hook up their TVs, or are shocked, shocked that Blu-Ray disks won't play on their DVD, or whatever. I've also had BB back-order on me. By the time the movie showed up, I didn't even remember ordering it. I went to my e-mail buffer to figure it out and it had been almost three months. Generally, I wait for Amazon to come close to matching BB's price... and, generally, they do. I doubt BB will be with us this time next year anyway.

I just don't support AMZ for the fact that they refused to stand behind its customers like myself and fought the State Governors the sale tax issue. Vote with your feet, as a famous saying said. (or in my case, my wallet) |
I guess that Science Channel's promos have worked on me since I've been wanting to see this after their advertising (don't even get me started on why this show is even on the Science Channel). Having a nice sized pile of Amazon credit is really making it too easy to pick stuff like this up.
oh yeah, this is a slick deal on a terrific TV show! But I've opted out of the whole Bluray phase. I got tired up updated my favorites from VHS (yeah, I'm that old) to DVD and then Bluray. Last edited by johnnyblades; 11-19-2012 at 06:53 AM.. |
Amazon didn't have anything to stand behind. And TBH, if you are a trustworthy person, then you would have been filing all your Amazon purchases and paying tax on them at the end of the year anyway, like you are SUPPOSED to do. It's a lot easier letting Amazon collect the tax for you, instead of having to work it all out yourself and pay it in at the end of the year. Of course with Amazon collecting tax there's no way for you to "forget" to pay it. |

Every once in a while, it can feel like you're at ground zero, at the launch of a new era. These past few weeks, after big hydrogen fuel cell announcements by Toyota, Honda and Hyundai in Tokyo and Los Angeles, we could definitely feel this was a critical inflection point for an industry that has relied on internal combustion power for more than a century. While battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology continues to improve and provides a viable alternative for some, its range and inherent slow-charge limitations means it will only meet the needs of a distinct subset of car buyers. … read more

Residential Life
With over 73% of our students living on campus, you'll find that residential life at Bethany is an essential part of a fulfilling collegiate experience. Living on campus is all about the people you meet and the time spent with friends both in and out of your dorms and apartments. Not only will you live close to other students, you'll also live minutes away from the many campus resources that encourage academic success and provide opportunities for involvement. Our students maintain a strong sense of community that creates rewarding experiences you'll remember for years afterwards. |
Residence HallsAnderson Hall |
Stephanie Ranthum '10 | history major and art history minor "Living at Bethany was amazing and the campus is beautiful. Edgewood Place (nicknamed Edgewood Palace) is a gorgeous on-campus apartment building that I lived in for two years. I was never scared with regards to security issues because Bethany's campus is such a safe environment. It was great to know and be friends with all my neighbors." |
Andrew Soule '12 | history major "One of my favorite campus activities is Spartan abs. This is a group that popped up on the fourth floor of Gullixson Hall. Every night at 10 p.m. we would all gather in the basement of Gullixson to have an intense workout lead by some of the ROTC guys. It's pretty intense, but it's awesome!" |
Molly Erdman '10 | biology major "I loved working on campus as an RA (resident assistant) during my junior year. On the Bethany campus it's easy to be a part of everything and get to know the other students. I wouldn't change my Bethany experience for the world." |

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable John Cornyn
United States Senator Today the Committee will consider the nomination of an exceptional Texas jurist to serve on the federal district court in the Eastern District of Texas. I want to begin by thanking the Chairman of the committee, Senator Hatch, for scheduling today's hearing. I look forward to moving this nomination through the committee - and through the Senate - over the next few weeks. I also want to thank Senator Leahy and his staff for working so cooperatively to make today's hearing possible. After a few brief introductory remarks, I will turn the floor over to him for any remarks that he might have, and then we will be very pleased to hear from the senior senator from Texas - who knows the nominee quite well and who I know is personally very supportive of him. The vacancy we hope to fill with the nomination before us today was created by the untimely passing of Chief Judge John H. Hannah, Jr. Judge Hannah was a good man and a distinguished jurist. His family's loss was also a great loss to the state of Texas. I enjoyed working with Judge Hannah. Senator Hutchison and I worked closely with him just last year on legislation to authorize the Eastern District of Texas to hold court in the city of Plano. That bill (S. 1720) was important to Judge Hannah, who always worked hard to serve the citizens of the Eastern District. He passed away the day after the President signed that legislation into law. The death of Judge Hannah leaves some big shoes to fill, but President Bush could not have filled them better than with the nomination of Texas Supreme Court Justice Michael Haygood Schneider. Justice Schneider will bring to the federal district court the wisdom, judgment, and experience of over a quarter century of service on the bench. He understands - as any good judge must - that the duty of a judge is to interpret the law, not legislate from the bench. Justice Schneider has held virtually every position in the state court system that Texas has to offer. From 1978 to 1990, he served on the West University Place Municipal Court. Then, he served on the 157th District Court of Texas, located in Houston, until 1996. Next, he became Chief Justice of the First Court of Appeals in Houston. He served there until 2002, when he was appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, where I once served. He has been honored as both "Trial Judge of the Year" and "Appellate Judge of the Year" by the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists. In addition to this extraordinary record of judicial service, Justice Schneider also served the people of Texas in the role of Assistant District Attorney for Harris County. Justice Schneider is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Houston College of Law, and - more recently - the LL.M. program of the University of Virginia Law School. And he has a distinguished record of civic involvement. Justice Schneider's reputation as an exceptional jurist and a true gentleman is well known throughout the state of Texas. It is also well known by the American Bar Association, which recently gave him its highest rating, when its Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary unanimously certified him as "well qualified" for the federal bench. His nomination enjoys broad bipartisan support across the state of Texas. For example, Susan Hays, who chairs the Dallas County Democratic Party, has written a strong letter of support, and without objection, I'd like to submit that letter for the record. I also happen to know that Justice Schneider is a humble man. His profile on the Texas Supreme Court's website points out that "[h]e held a variety of jobs during college and law school," including "searching titles at a major oil company, managing apartments, driving ambulances, operating a school bus for disabled children, working at a funeral home, teaching school, delivering milk, clerking for a law firm, managing a college cafeteria, serving as a waiter, bell hopping at a hotel, and serving as an intern at the United States Attorney's Office." I may ask him which of those jobs best prepared him to become a federal judge. I am pleased that the President has nominated Justice Schneider to serve on the Eastern District of Texas, and I am honored to chair today's hearing. I look forward to hearing from him today, and I look forward to what I hope will be a swift confirmation process. |

© 2008 Jupiterimages Corporation From canceling credit cards slowly to being an aggressive enough investor to avoid a cat food–fueled retirement, Amanda Robb has a wealth of unexpected financial advice.
Financial fitness is a lot like physical fitness: We all know what we should be doing—eliminating credit card debt, saving for emergencies, socking away dizzying amounts in a retirement fund—but finding a plan that works for the average person isn't easy. Even if we buy little notebooks, track every dollar spent and every painful dollar saved, swear off lattes and the stupendous but $28 control-top tights, there's still that small, tinny voice asking, "Are we covered for flooding?"..."Did I pick the right 401(k)?"..."Will I ever be able to pay for my kids' college education?"
We realized we needed nothing less than a dream team of experts to go beyond the financial basics, so we enlisted the aid of Eric Tyson (author of Let's Get Real About Money!), Susan Burke (founder of the investment management firm Beechtree Capital), and John Claghorn (senior vice president and wealth management adviser at RBC Dain Rauscher). To answer thorny questions about insurance and home buying, we turned to J. Robert Hunter, director of insurance, and Allen Fishbein, director of housing and credit policy, both at the Consumer Federation of America. And, of course, we grilled O's own Suze Orman for black-belt debt-paying tactics and investment advice. Here, they tackle the bewildering questions and intimidating calculations that stand in the way of real financial serenity. Tell me something I don't know about paying off credit card debt. You know that the first thing you have to do is get rid of any debt—and you probably also know to start by tackling the highest-interest credit cards first. But Suze Orman, O columnist and author of Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny, recommends that you don't close the newly paid-off accounts: Keep them open but inactive. "About 30 percent of your credit rating (FICO score) is based on your debt-to-credit ratio," she explains. Closing the accounts will reduce your amount of available credit and hurt your FICO score. When you've cleared all the debts, cancel one card each year, starting with those that have annual fees, then those with the lowest credit limit to highest. (She recommends you keep only two cards.) As you're paying off credit card debt, you might be tempted to transfer balances to a card with an introductory 0 percent interest rate. That's a good idea only when the cost of transferring is less than the interest you would've paid on the old card. Some cards cap the transfer fee at $75; some charge 3 percent of the entire transfer amount. (Bankrate.com has a "real cost of debt" calculator to help you figure this out.) Do I really have to stash away six months of living expenses? It depends, says syndicated financial columnist Eric Tyson, who suggests you have enough put away to cover...

Barangay Payocpoc Sur is one of the two regional finalists who were among the 32 National Awardees for the DOH's National Search for Barangay with Best Sanitation Practices held at Traders Hotel in Pasay City February 12.
The barangay, under the leadership of PB George B. Picardal, have met the 100 percent access to safe water supply and 100 percent sanitary toilet facilities for each household, on top of their other community-based initiatives in Solid Waste and Wastewater Management, Clean and Green Initiatives, local legislative measures regarding health and sanitation, and allocating a remarkable 50% of their budget for sanitation.
"After Baccuit Sur in 2009 and Parian Oeste in 2011, now Payocpoc Sur, we will continue to encourage and support our other barangays in Bauang to emulate and bring good sanitation practices to the household level," Mayor Martin De Guzman said. "Assist households still with no sanitary toilet facilities and tap other possible sources of water for your residents, in this way we are a contribution to the Millennium Development Goal on Sanitation," he added.

Municipal employees, members of the Paringao Barangay Council together with BPSOs, and volunteers joined energy for a half-day sandbagging along the Lossoc Creek in Paringao last June 30. This aims to mitigate the flooding during heavy rains and typhoon in the area.
Mayor Martin de Guzman expressed the urgency of dredging and construction of a slope protection for the said creek to ease the flowing of the water directly to the sea and protect residents, from Paringao and Baccuit Norte, living near the creek. Residents vividly remember the 2012 Typhoon Helen that caused flash flood and damage to their properties and to their livelihood as well.
Being vital to La Union heritage, identify and diversity, the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) will use its offices as pilot area in the implementation of the Iloco Code as per Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Ordinance No. 026-2012 making Iloco as the official Language of the province.
Gov. Manuel C. Ortega instructed all department heads through a written memorandum to get signages with Iloco vernaculars from the office of the Provincial Information and Tourism Officer to be posted in their own offices to serve as a guide and method of instruction to some guests and visitors in the Provincial Capitol.
With the aim of preserving and developing the Iloco language Governor Ortega firmly believes that the implementation if the code will lead to a better and faster communication most especially in the performance of the PGLU's tasks of bringing the best public service to its constituents.

What's it like making your entrance in The Fantasticks "from out this box," a big prop box beside the stage?
Still, that first moment of being Henry is my favorite moment in the show. The biggest thrill of appearing in this production is the thrill of being under lights again — the joy that every actor feels when he get his with that spotlight. Standing on that box in the spotlight and saying, "Sir, the players have arrived!" is still a thrill. I'm 70 now and just to have a job back in the theatre in New York is a thrill. To paraphrase Henry, there are no small theatres — only small actors. I also do love playing the fop in Act Two. Putting on the makeup and bamboozling this young kid. I imagine him as a bright-eyed young John Davidson — naive and not street wise, the way I was when I came to New York in late 1963. I see a lot of me in him.
You grew up in White Plains, NY, and went to the same high school as Rent composer Jonathan Larson. Is there something especially theatrical about that school?
28 Jul 2012
photo by Monica Simoes
JD: I hate that damn box. It's smaller than it was at Sullivan Street. It's made for a smaller Henry than I, and I'm scrinched in there with the Indian, and we have to get in and out three times during the show. Waiting for our cues is an interesting problem, but when I come up, I have to be ready to be Henry.
JD: Not for me. In White Plains I wasn't theatrical at all. I was a model and I used to take the train into New York three days a week to do travelogue work. It wasn't until I went to college that I met the theatre people and began to admire them because they were learning a trade that was guaranteed to make money! [Laughs.]
JD: I loved playing Harold Hill in The Music Man,, but there is no question that my favorite of all time is Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha [which he performed at the Surflight Theatre in Barnegat, NJ, June 19-July 8, with Heather Provost as Aldonza]. The challenges of playing Don Quixote is making it real. He's obsessed with changing the world.
You've had a chance to work with some incredible older actors over the years, Bob Hope, Bert Lahr, et al. Did you model your Old Actor on any of them?
JD: Working [on The Fantasticks and the 1964 Broadway musical Foxy] with Bert Lahr [the vaudeville and Broadway comedian best known as the Lion in "The Wizard of Oz"] was an amazing experience. I would watch him from the side of the stage constantly. He was a really improvisational actor and never gave the same performance twice. He was a major star and always so funny on stage, but I never saw him happy offstage. He was always brooding. I'm like that too sometimes. People think of happy-go-lucky John Davidson on the talk show "Hollywood Squares," but I'm a worrier too. He [Lahr] never seemed to be happy with his own performance, but he was always very supportive of me. A lot of old actors tend to direct other actors in scenes and he never did that. The closest we ever came to that was in one scene where I was supposed to hit him, and he taught me how to throw a stage punch. He knew what he needed, but he didn't try to direct.
But to answer your question, no, I'm not really basing my Old Actor on any one performer. I just play someone who has a lack of being able to see clearly or move easily, but someone who needs the job and is just trying to manage to go on and kind of do his best. It's like me. I'm 70 and I've never worked harder in my life.

Creighton handles Tulsa
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Avery Dingman had 14 of his career-high 21 points in the second half, and Doug McDermott overcame a slow start to score 16 in No. 17 Creighton's 71-54 victory over Tulsa on Wednesday night. Gregory Echenique added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Bluejays (11-1), who won their fifth straight. James Woodard had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Tulsa (6-5), which shot 38 percent and committed a season-high 25 turnovers. Dingman was good on his first seven shots and made a career-high five 3-pointers, getting friendly bounces off the rim and backboard on his third and fourth tries. Dingman also had three steals to go with three rebounds. McDermott, averaging 23.7 points and coming off games of 30 and 34 points, was just 4 of 9 from the field but made 7 of 8 free throws. The visitors from Conference USA, who trailed by 22 points in the middle of the second half, got a 3 from Scottie Haralson and two free throws from James Woodard to cut the deficit to 12 with 5:03 left.
McDermott's two free throws and Dingman's 3-pointer pushed the lead to 64-47 with four minutes left. Echenique's performance helped offset an otherwise miserable start for the Bluejays, who turned over the ball six times in the first six minutes and 10 times in the opening half. With his parents from Venezuela watching him in person for the first time this season, Echenique scored 10 of the Bluejays' first 14 points. The 6-foot-9, 260-pounder had two thunderous dunks early. The second came after Zeldric King, whose momentum carried him out of bounds along the baseline, tried to throw the ball off of Dingman's leg. Dingman made a sudden move, causing King to miss, and Echenique picked up the ball and slammed it in. It was a tough start for McDermott, who was trying to become the first Creighton player with three straight 30-point games since Benoit Benjamin in 1985.
McDermott, who had 35 in a win over Tulsa last season, drew lots of attention from the Hurricane and seemed out of sync until he hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the Bluejays up 46-28 with 13:35 left. Kauri Black held McDermott in check for much of the game, but at one point four defenders swarmed him after he took an entry pass. He missed five of his first six shots, including a couple near air balls, and was held to five points in the first half. Creighton's Grant Gibbs, who shifts from off guard to the point to spell Austin Chatman, came into the night with 30 assists and only two turnovers in four games. He committed two in the first three minutes, but no others. He finished with six assists.
Tulsa struggled more than the Bluejays, missing 12 of its first 15 shots, committing 13 turnovers in the opening half and not reaching double figures until more than 15 minutes had elapsed.
