Like most of the nation, Philadelphia celebrated a grand 4th of July this summer. As befitting the birthplace of the United States, the city played host to a wide range of activities, many of them charitable in nature. One venue, however, hosted the two largest events, the July 2nd Live 8 concert — one of 10 international concerts held in conjunction with the G8 summit — and the July 4th Sunoco Philadelphia Freedom concert, with headliner Elton John, that raised money for HIV/AIDS awareness. Staging both events within 48 hours in the same location presented a logistical nightmare.
Delaware-based production company Light Action, Inc. provided the lighting, staging, power, and crew for both major events. Since the concerts were so close together, Light Action worked with LD Tom Beck for the Live 8 show as well as LD John Featherstone of Lightswitch for the Freedom Concert to streamline the turnaround time. It was decided that the majority of the equipment would have to be loaded in at once: do the Live 8 show, turn it all around as fast as possible, and then run the Freedom Concert. Making it all run smoothly took some careful coordination, some off-site pre-visualization, and a lot of dedicated crew.
Featherstone was already working on the Freedom Concert when he got asked to design for Elton John. "We were retained to take care of the lighting for the event, which, besides Elton, featured Bryan Adams, Patti Labelle, Rufus Wainwright, and the Philly Pops," says Featherstone, who was pinch-hitting for John's regular LD, Kevin Bye, who was in Europe with John's current tour. Featherstone had previously lit John last spring, when the entertainer performed at McDonald's 50th anniversary event in Chicago. "Kevin Bye has been great in letting us know some of the guidelines of lighting Elton," he says.
While in the process of designing the Freedom Concert, the Live 8 event was announced. "It was relatively late in the process, early to mid-June, because Live 8 came together extremely rapidly," says Featherstone. He was happy with the early load-in of the Freedom Concert equipment, leaving him to concentrate on preprogramming the show off-site. "The Elton rig was put in a week early, tested, checked, and wrung out by Light Action, and they did a fantastic job. Tom Beck, who was doing Live 8, grabbed the rig and ran with it."
Beck had been prepping for the Live 8 concert, when he got a sudden promotion. "Originally, Roy Bennett was contracted to do the show, and he hired me to be his lighting director," says Beck. "Paul McCartney wound up doing Live 8 in London and requested Roy's presence there, so since I had done all the groundwork, he passed it on to me."
Scott Humphrey, president of Light Action, was already planning the Fourth of July events when Live 8 was layered on. "It started out with the design for the Elton John show, and then we incorporated that with the Tom Beck's design for the Live 8 concert," he says. "Basically, we just added to the show that already existed. I was aware that something was going to happen about six weeks out, but they hadn't nailed down the time or the designer, so it all came together in something like 30 days."
Humphrey explains some of the logistics of the two closely spaced shows. "On one hand, it was helpful to have Live 8 be a day show just for logistics: if it was a night show, there would have been another level of designers involved; it made it a lot easier. Plus, it gave us more time for the turnaround between the 2nd and the 4th."
As if this wasn't enough work to do, Light Action had other areas to light, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which served as a backdrop for the Freedom Concert when the Live 8 video wall was struck. "We had a whole package that lit the art museum," says Humphrey. "We set that up on the 3rd; we had all of the parade lighting; and everything needed for the audience had to be hung as well. It wasn't too bad. It could have been a lot worse, but it came together really well, and we pretty much stayed on schedule."
The crew was key to how Light Action kept things running on the tight schedule, according to Humphrey. "We had 10 people in our camp with 20 to 30 IATSE Local 8 hands that did the lighting turnaround. It wasn't too painful," he says. "We loaded a lot of the structure and elements up for July 4th that, even though we didn't use them, made it a lot easier for the turnaround that way."
Humphrey was pleased with the end result and the crewing choices. "We brought in some good people that worked on the show and let them do their jobs," he says. "I didn't try to micromanage things — just gave them the list of what needed to be accomplished and the big picture, and everybody worked together on that, which worked out really well. When you are putting together a show of this size, it all comes down to how you set up your leads and what you have them doing, and you try not to have them wear too many hats. It was two different shows, and I had different leads for the different shows, so they kept focused on what they had to get done. It wasn't like one person trying to worry about two different shows; it was two or three people."
One of the people Humphrey called upon was Tom Thompson of Prelite SF and LA, who is originally from Philadelphia and has longtime ties with Light Action. He came on board to coordinate parts of the project. "I used to work for Light Action in the early 90s, and we have always been really good friends," says Thompson. "I know John Featherstone and Tom Beck quite well from working with them, and Scott hadn't worked with either of them before, so he asked, 'Why don't you come out and work for Light Action and help coordinate things?'"
Thompson also wore his Prelite hat when working with Featherstone on the pre-visualization of the Freedom Concert. While Live 8 was rehearsing and getting underway, Featherstone and Thompson set up shop at Light Action in Delaware with a Prelite Onsite rig and got the pre-visualization work going. "We knew with Live 8 happening on the 2nd, that would kill our programming time for the 4th, so it was John and Scott's idea to use Prelite," says Thompson.
"Dennis Connors programmed for me," adds Featherstone. "Being at Light Action's facility, we were out of everybody's way onsite. It was the only feasible way to do it. We had to do some degree of pre-viz because we weren't going to get the time onsite. Live 8 finished the evening of the 2nd. Pretty much all day the 3rd was taken reconfiguring the stage. We got site time in the evening to touch up the focuses, and we were off and running on the 4th."
Featherstone is a great believer in pre-visualization. "It was a great demonstration of the huge value of doing pre-viz, particularly taking data from a previous show [McDonald's] and reconfiguring it to a different production," he says. "It also reinforced to me the value of using a pre-viz provider like Prelite. Tom Thompson had the ability to really keep of on top of what was going on. It was an evolutionary load-in. Things were getting tweaked. We couldn't get trusses exactly where we wanted them. Things had to shift around so they could get the weight capacity they needed for the LED wall for Live 8. So Tom was on top of that stuff, tracking it and keeping the model we were using as accurate as possible. Had we gone in the night before and tried to program the show, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good."
While Featherstone was indoors, Beck, who had lit a lot of concerts prior to moving into lighting for film and television, knew that the sunny day predicted for July 2nd meant he had his work cut out for him with the Philadelphia leg of the Live 8 event. Since the concert was scheduled as a daytime show, Beck would be dealing mostly with trying to balance the stage with daylight and making the show work for the cameras that were feeding images to the many IMAG screens in the area, as well as to television and Internet broadcasts around the world.
"This was a particularly difficult one, because it was daytime, outdoors with a roof over the stage," says Beck. "When we started the show, the sun was directly overhead being blocked by the roof. We brought in a quite substantial HMI package to balance things out. We had two 18kW Fresnels, eight 12kW HMI PARs, four 6kW HMI PARs, and then a number of smaller HMIs for sidelight and backlight. Mainly, it is about trying to balance the sky that is incredibly bright, so with the wide shots, you have bright sun, and then you have a stage that is shadowed by the roof. For television, it is all about balance — making it a nice and interesting image on video. When you have the sun that is so bright, it does make it a little challenging. You have to bring the levels up on the stage, or the sky is totally blown out."
Beck enjoyed taking advantage of Featherstone's lighting rig. "We used the Elton rig for sparkle and a little flash," comments Beck. "Mark Butts did an excellent job of managing that for me." In addition to sparkle and flash, Beck used the automated rig for punch. "I needed backlight on all these performers, so I used the automation for that, and I also used the automation onstage to light the banners and the area underneath the huge LED screen upstage center. The automation was going to be there anyway, so we worked out a deal where I was able to use them, which was quite nice."
"It worked out well, because even though Live 8 was during the daytime, there was some interesting stuff happening," adds Thompson.
When Live 8 came down on Saturday evening, the fun began with the changeover for the Freedom Concert. "The load-out ran basically like this: we removed as much as we could of the HMI package on the evening of the 2nd, and on the 3rd, we were heavy changing over; it was all about Elton John," says Thompson. "We wrung things out; in the late afternoon, they came in and made some changes; then they programmed until 2am, and then they did a big rock show the next day."
One of the major items removed was the video wall opening the stage up to allow the museum to be the backdrop for the Freedom Concert, according to Featherstone. "As is traditional for this 4th of July show, we used the art museum itself as the backdrop, so we lit it using various automated fixtures to light the famous 'Rocky steps' and the façade."
Once the Live 8 video wall was removed, some of the rig still had to be hung for the Freedom Concert during change over. "We had to put up some fixtures and some trusses that we couldn't fly because the video wall was in the way on the 2nd," says Humphrey.
Both designers have nothing but praise for Light Action and the technicians. "Considering the throughput of both audience and performers in a very short space of time, it was a testament to the planning, particularly by Scott and his team at Light Action," Featherstone says. "It was the first time I had the opportunity to work with them, and it would have been a tough show for any vendor no matter how big they are, but Scott's company really did a fantastic job making sure everybody was taken care of."
In the end, both the Live 8 Concert and the Freedom Concert provided a lot of great music and raised money and awareness for good causes, but from a production point of view, maybe Thompson sums it up best: "It was actually a pretty uneventful show, which is good."

Fighting TB tru 6 Months treatment
How do I take my medicine?
Take your medicines in the way that your health worker tells you to.
If you have more than one medicine, take them at the same time.
Medicines are usually taken from Monday to Friday of each week.
If your medicines are nearly finished, you can take your green card to any clinic.
They will give you more medicines. Remember: Go to the clinic for regular check-ups!!
What are the side effects of the tablets?
Many medicines can cause side-effects (problems). The TB medicines may cause the following side-effects…
Nausea and vomiting
Skin rashes
Painful joints
Loss of appetite
Pink urine
Not everybody feels side-effects and most of them can be treated.
Will I have to sleep at the clinic or hospital?
Most people who have TB do not have to stay at the hospital.
But sometimes you can be so ill with TB that you have to sleep there.
When you are better, you can go home.
It is still important to take the medicine at home.
What will happen if I don't go for treatment?
You will spread the disease to other if you have TB and do not get it treated.
Other people develop very bad breathing problems.
TB can damage your lungs forever.
Many people die from TB when it is not treated
Must I finish my treatment?
Many of the TB germs will stay alive in your body if you do not finish the 6 months' treatment.
These germs will be the strongest of all the germs and the most dangerous.
You will get sick again if you stop the medicines before the health worker says you can

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama Outland Trophy winner Barrett Jones opened spring practice at a new position.
Jones lined up at center instead of left tackle when the defending national champion Crimson Tide opened on Friday with a single practice before spring break.
Three-year starting center William Vlachos (VLAY-HOS) is gone. Sophomore Cyrus Kouandjio (kwan-RO) is expected to take over at left tackle, where he saw action as a freshman before a season-ending knee injury against Tennessee.
Jones played every position on the line last season except right guard, where he started 25 games over the previous two seasons. Coach Nick Saban stressed that this is not an experiment and says he thinks Jones will flourish in the new role.
Jones is set to head to Nicaragua for his annual spring break mission trip.

Groton — The Board of Education has narrowed its finalists for the superintendent's job from three people to two and will schedule an additional round of interviews, board Chairwoman Kirsten Hoyt said Friday.
The board interviewed three finalists earlier this week: Michael Graner, the superintendent in Ledyard; Denise L. Clemons, the recently hired assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in Groton; and Robert J. Angeli, the associate superintendent for instruction in Meriden Public Schools.
The finalists also met with members of the community, who offered their thoughts, school board member Chaz Zezulka said.
Hoyt said the board decided to interview two finalists a second time but have not scheduled the interviews yet. She declined to name the candidates as they have not yet been told, she said.

The Common Man Opinion Vol. 2
by D W Curry
Curry will tell you what the common guy in the U.S. is up against. He will fill you in on what is REALLY going on, not what the media and the politicians want you to think. He will translate the double talk and let you know what is really meant.
In this volume, Curry tells you what to look for from Washington in the future. So many are looking at a tree they are failing to see the forest.
This is bigger than just one bureaucratic program being passed. What is happening today is nothing more than a secular progressive movement run amok and unchecked for decades. Curry looks at each key point and defines the parameters of what the common man wants not what the government wants.
If you can take BS, suffer through mindless droning on about nothing, and be objective when your brain screams this is nothing more than conspiracy drivel, then this book is for you!!!

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Federal prosecutors are asking the judge presiding over James "Whitey" Bulger's trial to uphold a previous court decision that would prevent Bulger's attorneys from using an immunity defense.
In court documents filed on Monday, prosecutors formally submitted their opposition to Bulger's motion calling for his new trial judge to overturn the ruling on immunity previously made by U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns.
Prosecutors claim Bulger has not provided any detail regarding when he made an immunity deal with former U.S. Attorney Jeremiah O'Sullivan or cited a case in which immunity was decided by a jury. They also claim Bulger has not pointed out anything that is "legally incorrect" with Judge Stearns's immunity opinion.
The prosecutors further claim Bulger has continually recycled "previously rejected arguments" and attacked public servants.
"Indeed, Bugler's defense has become nothing more than a game of legal 'whack-a-mole,'" says the memorandum filed by prosecutors.
Judge Stearns was removed from the case in March after critics claimed his background as a former federal prosecutor could create the appearance of bias. Judge Denise Casper has since been tapped to preside over the trial.
Shortly after Judge Stearns's removal, Bulger's lawyers asked Judge Casper to overturn his ruling which bars Bulger from using his claim of immunity as a defense.
The 83-year-old reputed mob boss, who claims he is an FBI informant, is scheduled to stand trial in June for his alleged role in 19 killings.

The South African national anthem incorporates five different languages.
The lyrics to "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica" are written in the five most widely spoken of the country's eleven official languages: Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, and English. Prior to South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994, the country had two anthems. The first, "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" (The Call of South Africa), had been the country's official anthem since 1957.
The other tune was "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica," a former church hymn. This song was sung as an unofficial anthem of the people in protest and resistance to the apartheid government of the time. Soon after being elected, President Nelson Mandela named the tunes as co-anthems. In 1997, he had the songs adapted into one anthem as a gesture symbolic of a newfound national unity.
You can read the entire anthem (in English!) and listen to it here.

Southern Miss' offense scored 14 points. East Carolina's offense scored 28 points. The bad news for East Carolina is that they also count the points that come from defense and special teams play, and there were more than enough of those points for Southern Miss to make up the difference as the Golden Eagles won 48-28.
As far as he offense for Southern Miss, Austin Davis was 16-of-24 passing for 133 yards and one of the offenses two touchdowns. A half-dozen rushers cobbled together 137 yards and the other offensive touchdown, a 3-yard dash by Desmond Johnson.
Dominique Davis wasn't terrible at quarterback for ECU -- 22-of-36 for 262 yards and two touchdowns -- but he threw a pair of interceptions, and both of them were pick-sixes. Take those away, and it's 34-28, and maybe a different game. But again, they count those kinds of things when they calculate the score, no matter how much East Carolina might wish they didn't.

The Arkansas Razorbacks have gone on a tear since losing to the Alabama Crimson Tide in September, since beating then-No. 14 Texas A&M and then-No. 15 Auburn, propelling themselves into the Top 10 of this week's initial BCS rankings. Ole Miss is hoping for a similar resurgence after a blowout loss to the Crimson Tide last week, though at 0-3 in conference play, the Rebels appear headed for another year in the basement of the SEC.
Despite gaining just 226 total yards of offense in the loss, the Razorbacks still lead the SEC averaging 466 yards per game. Quarterback Tyler Wilson has been solid in place of the departed Ryan Mallett, completing 65 percent of his passes for 1,779 yards and 12 touchdowns to just three interceptions on the year. He will face a banged up Ole Miss defense that just lost defensive end Wayne Dorsey and cornerback Marcus Temple for the season in the loss to Alabama.
Beyond a shaky defense, however, the Rebels have to deal with constant rumors that head coach Houston Nutt, the former leader of the Razorbacks, may not be Ole Miss' head coach much longer.
Finally, though - and this can't be stressed enough - Houston Nutt is not a bad person. Of course he is stubborn and of course he has an ego that he has a tough time overcoming, but the same can be said for a lot of football coaches. Such flaws come with the territory. He isn't the monster you all want him to be. He's just a flawed coach who has let the college football game pass him by.
Still, Nutt is 2-1 in three meetings with his former team while coaching Ole Miss, so there is hope. Just not much. Arkansas Expats summed up the meeting beautifully in poetry.
But famed for the upset, Sir Nutt doth be,
A defeat of the Hogs tomorrow - is that what we'll see?
Fear not, my friends: with the Hogs, the Rebels can't cope,
on this day at least, they won't hang on to the rope!
Game date, time: 12:21 pm ET, Saturday, October 22
Location: Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS
TV channel: SEC Network / ESPN 3
Spread: Arkansas favored by 16

LANSING, Michigan (AP) — Police used pepper spray Thursday to subdue protesters trying to rush the Michigan state Senate after the governor and other Republican leaders announced they would press for quick approval of right-to-work legislation limiting union powers.
The Michigan House voted 58-52 Thursday afternoon to approve the legislation prohibiting most private unions from collecting fees from nonunion employees. The Senate also approved the legislation by a six-vote margin.
Opponents of so-called right-to-work measures say they drain unions of money and weaken their ability to bargain for good wages and benefits. Supporters insist it would boost the economy and job creation.
A victory in Michigan would give the movement its strongest foothold yet in the industry-heavy Rust Belt region, where organized labor already has suffered several body blows.
Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker pushed through a law last year that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers, leading to huge protests at the state Capitol and an effort to recall the governor. Walker survived the recall referendum in June. A court battle over the law's constitutionality is ongoing.
Even before the votes in Michigan, protesters streamed inside preparing for what appeared inevitable after Gov. Rick Snyder joined Republican legislative leaders Thursday morning in announcing they would push swift passage.
Eight people were arrested for resisting and obstructing when they tried to push past two troopers guarding the Senate door, state Police Inspector Gene Adamczyk said.
After repeatedly insisting during his first two years in office that right-to-work was not on his agenda, Snyder reversed course Thursday, a month after voters defeated a ballot initiative that would have barred such measures under the state constitution.
"This is all about taking care of the hard-working workers in Michigan, being pro-worker and giving them freedom to make choices," Snyder said during a news conference with House Speaker Jase Bolger and Senate Minority Leader Randy Richardville, both fellow Republicans.
"The goal isn't to divide Michigan, it is to bring Michigan together," Snyder said.
The Capitol, which was temporarily closed because of safety concerns, reopened Thursday afternoon, sending hundreds of protesters streaming back inside with chants of, "Whose house? Our house!" Adamczyk said a judge ordered the building reopened.
Lt. Gov. Brian Calley repeatedly gaveled for order as Democratic senators denounced the legislation to applause from protesters in the galley. At one point, a man shouted, "Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! That's what you people are." He was quickly escorted out.
The decision to push forward infuriated outnumbered Democratic state legislators, who resorted to parliamentary maneuvers to slow action but were powerless to block the bills that were expected to be introduced Thursday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Snyder said he had kept the issue at arm's length while pursuing other programs to bolster the state economy. But he said circumstances had pushed the matter to the forefront.
"It is a divisive issue," he acknowledged. "But it was already being divisive over the past few weeks, so let's get this resolved. Let's reach a conclusion that's in the best interests of all."
Also influencing his decision, he said, were reports that some 90 companies had decided to locate in Indiana since that state adopted right-to-work legislation. "That's thousands of jobs, and we want to have that kind of success in Michigan," he said.

Bitter because it's the end of my favorite season; sweet because it's my birthday month and I like to treat myself to multiple celebrations! Since students return to school, September is also a time of getting back to the basics. The weather turns cooler and as we welcome Fall, the grill is retired in favor of more slow-cooked methods. To make the transition more tolerable, we've rounded up the items we can't live with out: here are our must haves.

Big High Point second half dooms Dolphins
Related Links
High Point scored six consecutive goals in a 10 minute, 40 second stretch of the second half Friday to beat visiting Jacksonville University, 18-12, in a key National Lacrosse Conference game in High Point, N.C.
After battling to a 5-5 halftime tie, the Panthers (7-3, 1-0) went on their tear after JU's Morgan Derner scored the last of her five goals with 15:19 to play to get the Dolphins (7-3, 1-1) to within one at 11-10.
HPU's Alec Perry, who also had five goals, responded with 13:54 to play on free position shot and the Panthers scored five more times to go up 17-10 with 3:14 to play before JU found the net again.
JU sophomore Ali Hoffman stopped the onslaught when she connected on a free position shot with 1:42 to play. Hoffman had two goals on the night.
Perry and teammate Heather Ziccarelli combined for 10 of their team's 18 points as Ziccarelli also had five goals. Ziccarelli gave the Panthers their final lead of the night when she scored back-to-back in the second half to break an 8-8 tie.
The teams battled on relatively even terms in the first half with the largest lead going to JU at 5-2 when Derner connected on a free position attempt with 12:21 to go. HPU shut the Dolphins down the remainder of the half and scored three goals of its own for the halftime tie.
Kaitlin Stewart, Holly Ventimiglia, Rachel Hannon, Nicole Albino and Amanda Hurley all had goals for the Dolphins while Chelsea Watts had three assists and Abby Warnken one.
Hannon had five draw controls and sophomore Brittney Orashen, making her second collegiate start, had four while Nikki Erdely had two ground balls.
High Point outshot JU 36-23 and JU goal keeper Karli Tobin was credited with 10 saves. JU committed 16 turnovers.
The Dolphins, who have lost two of their last three games, end their two-game road trip Sunday at Davidson taking on the Wildcats at 1 p.m. before returning home. That game can be seen on video streaming or followed on live stats.

Popular Claret Paul Comstive 'famous at last'
Updated 2:37pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Chris Gee, Reporter
HUNDREDS of friends, family and former teammates paid their respects at the funeral of former Blackburn and Burnley player Paul Comstive.
Paul, 52, who died suddenly from a suspected heart attack at his home in Southport, played more than 100 times for Burnley and began his career at Ewood Park.
Around 500 people attended his funeral at St John Church, Crossens, Southport yesterday.
Such was his universal popularity that around 200 fans waited outside during the service as the church was full.
Before the funeral, widow Jill said: "He was a devoted family man.
"We didn't realise how popular he was until now. Paul would have said 'famous at last'."
Players from Paul's many clubs were only too willing to pay tribute to a man who was remembered fondly.
Derek Fazackerley, Rovers' record appearance holder, who went on to coach England under Kevin Keegan, described him as a 'lovely fellow and a trusted team mate'.
He said: "Paul was just starting out when I was at Rovers. He was 10 years younger.
"He was a cracking player and great to have around the dressing room.
He was strong and flexible in his position and good in the air.
"Everyone who knew Paul will tell you what an outstanding man he was with a lovely family. I was very saddened to hear he'd passed away so suddenly."
Former postman Paul will be very fondly remembered at Turf Moor as a left sided midfielder.
He graced the Wembley pitch in claret and blue in the 1988 Sherpa Van trophy and was outstanding in the semi-final against Preston, in which he scored. The club was represented by ex-players' association organiser Veronica Simpson at the funeral and several former team mates, including John Deary and Roger Eli.
Mr Deary said: "Paul went to school with me and we played together at Burnley. Of all his clubs I think he retained the most affection for them.
"There were no edges to him. He was simply a wonderful man and a great player. He had a bullet of a left foot."
Paul retained his passion for football, coaching youngsters in Southport and helping the ground staff at Southport FC.
Manager and former Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman said: "Paul was a great person to have around the club.
"I'd only asked him the other week to play for the veterans' team. It's such a shame he's been taken so young."
Dozens of Royal Mail colleagues attended the funeral and many mourners wore red at the request of the family as Paul was a Manchester United fan.
At the funeral it was said that Paul was an immensely popular figure and well-known as the local postman where, whatever the weather, he would wear shorts.
He leaves his wife of 30 years, Jill, and daughters Lauren, 24, and Eilish, 19.

ODU's Visiting Artists Program Presents 'Fruit Machine' Tonight
In a collaborative effort, the Old Dominion University art department and theatre arts program present a performance art event this week titled "Fruit Machine," a campy hour-long media production that uses a dynamic interplay between live and screen-based events to probe the relationship between bodies and fantasies.
Final performance is at 8 p.m. Friday, March 5, at ODU's University Theatre. These shows are for mature audiences only.
Created and enacted by Hilary Harp, assistant professor of sculpture at Arizona State University, and Suzie Silver, associate professor in electronic and time-based art at Carnegie Mellon University, "Fruit Machine" includes 10 short acts: five live sections and five prerecorded "music videos." It is designed to be an intimate, improvisatory performance, and it is structured to allow for revision, expansion and excerpting.
Inspired by a long tradition of camp aesthetics, "Fruit Machine" brings together camp and digital performance. Using Arduino microcontrollers, Bluetooth and Max/MSP/Jitter, Harp and Silver create physical props and costumes that actively influence screen-based and sonic events. The overall performance is more a mutant musical or concert than a play. Emphasis is placed on sound as image, with props and costumes functioning as audiovisual instruments. With its irreverent form and earthy humor, it poses questions of gender transparency and human freedoms.
Information about the artists and their work can be found at http://www.harpsilver.com/.
The artists will also give a lecture and two workshops for students with interest in art, theater, digital imagery and communications. Students should contact Agnieszka Whelan at email@example.com for more information.
Tickets, $10 for students and $15 for general admission, may be purchased in advance at the Arts and Letters box office, located in the University Theatre lobby, or by calling 683-5305. The box office is open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets also are available at the door one hour before each performance.
The University Theatre is located on Hampton Boulevard between 46th and 47th streets. Free parking is available in the 45th Street garage. Metered street parking is also available.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The Toledo area is steeped in history, dating back hundreds of years, but not many are familiar with that history. Now you can learn with the help of a CD.
The 'dashboard tour' describes in detail the Battle of Fallen Timbers, Lake Erie at Put-in-Bay, and the siege of Fort Meigs in Perrysburg – some of northwest Ohio's famous battlegrounds. It's narrated by Clint Mauk and is the creation of Bob Kneisley, founder of the Legacy Community Foundation.
"Tourism is very critical to Toledo and the location we have," Kneisley said. "It occurred to me that a lot of people probably are not as aware of the importance of this region."
The idea is to listen to the CD to hear the story behind each battle, then visit the landmarks. Along the way, listeners may recognize some names, like Anthony Wayne and Commodore Perry.
"Education is part of it, certainly," Kneisley said. "Community building is a part of it. Increasing commerce with local merchants is a part of it. I just see it as a triple-win situation and I don't see any downside."
The CDs will be available starting next week in many local hotels and other locations for free.

In light of the UPS cargo plane crash, it has now been discovered that pilots have previously filed concerns about runway 18, the runway the plane was supposed to land on last Wednesday morning.
We have obtained several reports of pilots complaining about the runway from the Papi lights not being noticeable, the terrain, and even how low they're coming. But the report from 1999 is the one that stood out the most.
The pilot wrote in the report, "The approach to runway 18 at BHM is marginally safe at best and is set up for an accident at worst."
The report goes on to say: "The first officer and I were both bothered by the close visual proximity of the ground while on the final stages of the approach."
The pilot in that report recommended to "Discontinue use of runway 18 for company operations due to the high terrain present under the normal glide path. This is a dangerous approach so prohibit it."
The pilot goes on to say, "I will not fly to this runway in the weather or to a wet runway. If it is the only runway open in those conditions I will divert."
UPS says they can't comment on whether they knew about the reports since this an ongoing investigation.

Notification about Reported Crimes on Campus
In an effort to provide timely notice to the UM community, and in the event of a serious incident which may pose an on-going threat to community members, a blast email Crime Alert, using the FirstClass system, is sent to all students and employees on campus. The alerts are usually written by the Chief of Police or a designee and they are approved and distributed to the community by the UMaine Division of Marketing and Communications. Updates to the UM community about any particular case resulting in a Crime Alert may be distributed via blast email via FirstClass, may be posted in the Announcements & Alerts conference on FirstClass or may be shared with the Maine Campus for a follow-up story. Crime Alert posters may be posted by UMPD or others in campus buildings when deemed necessary. When Crime Alert notices are posted in campus buildings they are printed on orange paper and posted in the lobby/entrance area of the affected building for seven days.
Crime Alerts are usually distributed for the following Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) classifications: Arson (serious cases), criminal homicide, and robbery. Cases of aggravated assault and sex offenses are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the facts of the case and the information known by UMPD The Chief of Police or designee reviews all reported crimes to determine if there is an on-going threat to the community and if the distribution of a Crime Alert is warranted. Crime Alerts may also be posted for other crime classifications, as deemed necessary by the Chief of Police or designee.

Blackheath teen's hit Riddle Game app is unsolvable - can you crack it?
Updated 1:03pm Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A BLACKHEATH teenager's hit app has been downloaded 10,000 times - but nobody can solve all its fiendish riddles.
Ben Minett, 17, invented The Riddle Game and put it online with the help of developer BMS Electronics, after spotting a gap in the market.
The Eltham College student's free app provides users with 125 riddles - a different selection for each person - and gives them the incredibly tough task of solving them all.
He explained: "The idea came whilst on a car journey where I thought there should be an app which offered word games, rather than animation, as they would be easier to share with other passengers."
Some of the puzzles have been made up by Ben, while others will be more familiar. But, although game provides hints if you get stuck, nobody has yet managed to crack them all.
He said: "So far no one's completed it.
"I was looking at all the downloads and they come from all over the world. I think it's spread by word of mouth."
The teenager, who has 12 A* GCSEs to his name and is currently studying mathematics, further mathematics, economics and physics, said he is interested in a future business career.
And he admits to a talent for solving riddles. He said: "I'm quite good with them, my friends always ask me what the answer is."
Visit the App Store to get the game

Head lice: The idea alone is enough to make your scalp itch. Each year, there are 6 million to 12 million lice cases in U.S. children ages 3 to 11, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's a year-round scourge, though the number of cases seems to peak when kids go back to school in the fall and again in January, possibly due to familial mingling during the holidays.
There are almost as many misconceptions about the parasites as there are critters. M.J. Eckert, a former school nurse and co-founder of Lice Happens, an Annapolis, Md.-based in-home lice treatment and removal service, says she once met a father who'd used a high-powered shop vacuum on his son's infested head, hoping to suck the problem away. Another family threw out a sleeper sofa in the middle of the night, convinced that it was the source of an intractable lice infestation. Neither approach worked.
First, some facts: The head louse is a six-legged wingless insect known as an ectoparasite, meaning that it makes its home on a host's surface. It's related to the body louse, which, unlike the head louse, can carry disease. The animal needs blood and a warm environment to survive. That's why it finds such comfort in the human scalp; it also likes to root itself in the nape of the neck and behind the ears.
Once it has set up shop, the insect lays pinhead-size tan or whitish-colored eggs, known as nits. The mother louse excretes a kind of glue to cement the nits to the hair shaft, close to the scalp so its warmth can incubate them. They hatch about a week later into baby lice, called nymphs. In a typical infestation, there are more nits than bugs since an adult louse will lay an average of five to 10 eggs a day and a newborn female needs only 10 days to become a mom. So the family tree grows quickly.

City of Kansas City, Mo.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 14, 2013
Kansas City, Mo., celebrates 160th birthday year
The City of Kansas City, Mo., will celebrate the year of its 160th birthday on Thursday, March 28 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the City Hall Rotunda, 414 E. 12th St. Remarks from Mayor Sly James, City Manager Troy Schulte and members of the City Council will begin at noon.
The celebration is open to the general public. Cake and refreshments will be served.
Kansas City, Mo., has a dynamic history, tracing its beginnings to the early 1800s when French fur traders, including Francois Chouteau, followed the Missouri River from St. Louis to the area now known as the Northeast Industrial District, where they established trading posts on the waterway. Another trader, John Calvin McCoy, opened a store inland on the Santa Fe Trail. He considered his land a portal to the West and thus named it Westport.
McCoy and 13 other men purchased a farm and formed the area that later became Kansas City's downtown district. The new owners named the area the Town of Kansas after the Kansa Indians, or Kaws, who inhabited the area. The Town of Kansas was incorporated and granted a charter by the county court in Independence on June 3, 1850.
The State of Missouri then officially incorporated the area as the City of Kansas on Feb. 22, 1853. The City of Kansas' original boundaries extended from the middle of the Missouri River south to Ninth Street, and from Bluff Street east to a point between Holmes and Charlotte streets.
This event will celebrate Kansas City's history and especially its milestone year of 1853, when the State of Missouri officially recognized the City of Kansas.
Any person with a disability who desires reasonable accommodation to attend this event may contact the City's 311 Call Center at 311 or 816-513-1313, or for TTY, 816-513-1889, or by email at email@example.com.

Unusually cold weather continues to hold up the spring melt in our region.
That's a concern for water managers worried about the size of the snow pack in southern Saskatchewan, where the Souris River forms.
This is the latest estimate of the snow pack as of today.
If temperatures suddenly get up to average for this time of year, there'll be a sudden melt of much of that snow.
On the good side, the delay in melting is providing time to make more space in reservoirs in Canada and the US.
That's being done through significant water releases from the dams that create those reservoirs.
The three Canadian dams have been releasing more than three thousand cubic feet per second since Saturday.
But those releases come with a cost for people living at the border, where the Souris becomes the Mouse River in North Dakota.
We talked with the Hansons last Monday about their preparations to move cattle out of the pens near the river.
Now, with the level of the river five feet higher than a week ago, they have moved those animals because the river is now covering the driveway into the cattle pens.
Downstream at Mouse River Park river water is now rushing over the paved road into the park, although the road is still open.
Officials will notify us if the road has to be closed.
Meanwhile, from the Boy Scout Bridge just west of Minot, to Logan and Sawyer, to Towner and Bantry, the river is either in minor flood stage or expected to get there soon.
As for the ice on the river, the National Weather Service reports it is slowly disappearing - as was hoped with the higher flows.
Minot Police say Sophia Pepple of New Town was struck by a pickup and killed about 6:25pm Sunday.
Minot Police say Sophia Pepple of New Town was struck by a pickup and killed about 6:25pm Sunday.
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot Sunday evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.

Chicago is a great place to visit for business or leisure. A shortage of things to do simply does not exist in Chicago no matter who you are or your reason for visiting. However, regardless of your plans, you will need to rent a car in Chicago in order to get to your destination.
Arguably the most notable feature of the city is the Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower. Located downtown, it is near such notable places as the John Hancock Tower, Navy Pier, and Grant Park. However, walking to these destinations is not recommended and public transportation in Chicago is not cheap. Having a rental car is the best way to see the city, even if you plan on remaining downtown.
Outside of the inner city is Lincoln Park, the largest public park in Chicago. Lincoln Park is home to museums, a zoo, a nature sanctuary, and a number of public, outdoor spots. Lincoln Park also offers breathtaking views of the city.
No one should visit Chicago without taking a trip along Lake Shore Drive. With the views of Lake Michigan to the east and the booming metropolis of Chicago on the west, this is a view that is breathtaking no matter how many times you visit the city. Best of all, when you use CarRentals.com to find a car rental in Chicago, you don't have to rely on pricey cabs or mass transit to let you enjoy this iconic ride.
When planning your trip to Chicago, don't forget to consider the type of rental car you most desire. Used to riding in style? Rent a convertible at a great discount. Taking clients for dinner or drinks? Rent a luxury car. Do you have a large group? Take advantage of full size car rentals that can accommodate all of your travelers. CarRentals.com has rental cars in Chicago to meet any and all of your car rental needs. Book well in advance to make sure you get the great deals on the rental car you need right here on CarRentals.com.

The city of South Bend is keeping on track with its mission to be more green.
The city received a reimbursement check for installing L-E-D lights at three downtown parking garages.
The check is from Energizing Indiana. The bulbs will save the city money on utilities too!
They have sensors that only turn them on when they're needed.
"We've got to be. Every city is judged on how sustainable it is," said South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. "It's a part of what it means to be a city in 2013. And when you add in the fact that we're going to see savings..that makes better use of taxpayer dollars."
The mayor says the money saved by using the new lights can then be used in other programs. One of those programs is the problem with abandoned homes.

U. of Illinois Totally Blows It on Salaita Defense
Today, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chancellor Phyllis Wise sent out the following email statement to all students regarding the controversy over no-longer-to-be-hired professor Steven Salaita. (It's late on a Friday afternoon; the timing is probably not a coincidence.)
Here's the statement, in full:
Dear Colleagues:
As you may be aware, Vice President Christophe Pierre and I wrote to Prof. Steven Salaita on Aug. 1, informing him of the university's decision not to recommend further action by the Board of Trustees concerning his potential appointment to the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Modesto Junior College's Lawyer: Colleges, Dump Your Speech Codes
Every advocate dreams of winning over an opponent, but it rarely happens. It's just possible, though, that FIRE might have done so. David Urban of the law firm Liebert Cassidy Whitmore has written a thorough and insightful post on his firm's blog advising colleges and universities to review their speech-related policies to insulate themselves from the threat of litigation—like FIRE's new Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project.
Urban's advice to schools to revise their speech codes to avoid litigation is significant and welcome, particularly because of his experience defending colleges against First Amendment [...] » Read More

College Students Get Comfortable—Often, Too Comfortable
Late last month, The Chronicle of Higher Education's Eric Hoover took a close look at trends in higher education that suggest that students feel more empowered than ever—but also may be using their power to shut out new ideas.
Hoover addresses complaints that discussions of "microaggressions" and requests for "trigger warnings" are making college students unable to handle harsh or controversial viewpoints. He writes:
Are the future caretakers of civilization made of marshmallows? … If students are soft, campuses help make them so.
Students' attitudes, Hoover argues, are shaped by colleges' efforts to keep them happy. The [...] » Read More

Northern Illinois U. Attempts to Defend Content-Based Internet Restrictions
Yesterday, the Internet got wind of Northern Illinois University's (NIU's) Acceptable Use Policy for "information technology resources," which lists prohibited uses of NIU's network and hardware. As I explained here on The Torch last night, the policy became news after a NIU student posted a bizarre warning notice he reportedly received while trying to use NIU's network to access the Wikipedia page for the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). The warning tagged the page as "Illegal or Unethical" and informed the student that the page had been "recorded for review." Most chillingly, the notice stated [...] » Read More

Due Process in the News: 'Washington Post' Highlights Accused Students' Concerns
Yesterday's issue of The Washington Post included a comprehensive and even-handed article about the due process concerns being raised by an increasing number of students accused of sexual assault within university judicial systems.
Among other things, the article illustrates that increased pressure on universities from the federal government to address sexual assault is leading universities to abandon due process in an effort to avoid government scrutiny.
A quote from an Auburn University administrator provides an example. The Post article discusses the case of Joshua Strange, who was expelled from Auburn after being accused of sexual misconduct by an [...] » Read More

Northern Illinois University (NIU) has enacted a stunningly restrictive network use policy and is enforcing it through a filter that blocks or tags websites based on content—including speech clearly protected by the First Amendment.
NIU's policy is in the news after one NIU student posted to Reddit a "Web Page Access Warning" he received while trying to visit the Wikipedia page about the Westboro Baptist Church from his dorm room.

Samantha Harris Addresses Campus Sexual Assault on Al Jazeera America
FIRE's Director of Policy Research Samantha Harris appeared on Al Jazeera America's "The Week Ahead" segment on Sunday night to talk with Thomas Drayton and victims' rights advocate Sabrina Kowaleski about what colleges and universities can and should be doing to address the problem of sexual assault on campus.
Kowaleski emphasized the need for more support services from universities, and Samantha agreed, saying that colleges are "in an excellent position to provide support services to victims and to provide Title IX remedies like changing of class schedules and dorm assignments."
