And the best part is, although our casual games are easy to catch onto and get started in, they also get more complicated with time, offering you really exciting game depth.

The existing username and password for this account will stay the same, although you now control the game from your central Bigpoint account.
What happens if I've forgotten my login information?

Must I have a Bigpoint account?

An off-duty Cook County sheriff's officer was fatally shot outside a family holiday party Friday night while trying to stop an attempted armed robbery in Bellwood.
Cuauhtemoc Estrada, 50, was shot about 9:15 p.m. outside a family Christmas party at a VFW hall in the 200 block of 30th Avenue, officials said.
The father of four and grandfather of three was getting ready for the gathering when he walked outside and saw the armed men trying to rob his daughter and her boyfriend. Police said Estrada identified himself and tried to intervene, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"The offender shot him and killed him," Sheriff Tom Dart said.
After Estrada was shot, his son grabbed his gun and fired in the direction of the robbers to protect his sister but missed, Hector Santamaria, a relative, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
He was taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he died at 10:08 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Estrada, of the 0-100 block of North 6th Avenue in Maywood, worked as an investigator for the county for more than two decades and was a former U.S. Marine, officials said.
"He was an exceptional investigator, but an even better man who loved his family, his friends and his country," Dart said in a statement. "Quite simply, he made this world a better place and will be missed by all whose lives he touched."
"He won't be able to see me walking across the stage when I graduate from college," Estrada's daughter Cristina Estrada, 19, wearing a pendant in the shape of her father's badge around her neck, told NBC5 in tears outside the family home in Maywood. "He was just a good person, a father. He was always there for us. He just wanted us to succeed in life."
A procession of more than a dozen vehicles followed an ambulance with Estrada from Loyola Hospital to the county medical examiner's office at 2121 W. Harrison St. He arrived at the medical examiner's office at about midnight.
No one was in custody Saturday morning as Cook County Sheriff's deputies and Bellwood police investigate.

WASHINGTON, DC (NBC) - One day after he declared immigration reform dead, President Barack Obama ran into the realities of trying to fix, on his own, a system flooded by the new wave of children arriving at the U.S. and Mexico border.
Every day, more come. On Tuesday, children from Central America, some with adults, arrived in San Diego, CA. They had journeyed across Mexico to the border near McAllen, TX, told they'd get easy access to the United States and a new life.
Instead they will go to ever-more overcrowded detention centers.
Obama is asking Congress for $2 billion for more immigration judges, more detention facilities and an OK for more deportations. But he says anything he does using executive orders won't be enough to fix the broken immigration system that House Republicans refuse to address.

Question: How did you get involved with Christmas Story?
Question: Is the stage production different from the film? How much difference is there — in your role as well?
Question: How would you describe Mother as she is written in the musical?
09 Nov 2012
Photo by Carol Rosegg
Dilly: I had just finished the run of Nice Work, and my agent kind of grabbed me in the wings, and he said, "I'm working on something." I said, "Alright." I had just heard rumblings that they hadn't found the Mother yet, and I called him on Monday, and I was like, "Is this…?" And, he's like, "Yeah, that's what I'm working on." It was a fairly fast process. I went in about a week after I finished Nice Work, and I got Christmas Story. [Laughs.] I had, for a long time, taken my focus off of musical theatre, largely because film and television is just an easier way to raise kids. I could work episodically, and I can get the most fantastic health-care coverage for them, but I just started to miss being on stage. I really, more than anything, missed the Broadway community. I love walking in the stage door and seeing the people I've worked with for 15 years, and the love and care that Broadway has for each other… It's something I never experienced in film or television, for sure. It was pretty quick. I went in. I got the call about an hour later. My agent actually said something funny. He said, "Now, you've seen 'Christmas Story'?" I said, "Yes, I have." He goes, "Because this is iconic in my family, so the role you are being bestowed with…you can't screw this up!" [Laughs.] I said, "I won't!" And, it's true… It could be intimidating because I think those film performances are impeccable and absolutely iconic perfection, but I kind of realized in the first week of rehearsals, I didn't have to reach too terribly hard for the character because she is kind of me. She's trying to optimistically manage chaos all the time, and that's my life. That's me and Stephen and Cady… I mean, I do literally have Ralphie and Randy, they just happen to be little girls. It's identical!
Dilly: You know what is interesting? It is similar enough to please the film purists, but it has its own original heart, via the fact that it's a musical, and it has this unbelievably inventive, gorgeous score by Pasek and Paul. I know that they kind of burst onto the scene, and they were on the rise with Dogfight… These boys can write… Oh, my gosh! They have this unbelievable wisdom and insight that surpasses their very young ages. I walked in and said, "I could be your babysitter! Both of you!" [Laughs.] But they write as though they both have had children… They just have unbelievable insight and profound storytelling gifts actually. I think that is going to be the element that really surprises people about this production. It will have all the pieces that make everybody happy, like, "Oh, there's the pink bunny rabbit suit, and there's the mashed potato scene," but then there's this score that is so smart and so funny and so full of heart. I feel like I kind of won the lottery.
photo by Carol Rosegg
Dilly: I really see her as the heartbeat. She's the grounding heartbeat of the family. [Laughs.] It's not unlike my own life. I'm always getting somebody fed, somebody clothed, somebody bathed or somebody to bed, but trying to do it with an awareness of the fact that these experiences, even though they're hard, and even though they're every family's struggle, and there's never enough money, that these moments are fleeting. I'm only going to get to see Ralphie in a bunny suit once — one Christmas. I'm only going to get to stuff my boy into the snowsuit one season, and then he'll be like, "I got it, Mom!" So she's heart. She radiates this warmth, and then every once and a while, she'll have this ironic sly sense of humor about all of it that I always think is a lovely surprise. You think she's kind of just holding down the fort, and then she'll say something a little bit kooky… All moms are a little crazy — you have to be — to maintain the level of multitasking that all of us are maintaining. Crazy in a good way! [Laughs.]
Dilly: I always feel like I've worked with him more than I have because he's like my soul-mate director. We did a play together about ten years ago called Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight Off-Broadway, and I think it was just as he was kind of exploding onto the scene, and I just thought, "Who is this funny, warm, intelligent, kind man who likes to get in the sandbox and play?" He's not a man who sits behind the table and just pontificates or points. He gets up and puts on the costumes and puts on the hats and throws himself into pratfalls. He's so unbelievably inspiring to be with, and he has such a handle, particularly, on this material because he has a 14-year-old boy. And so the whole Dad-Randy-Ralphie connection, he's just living it. He's walking around breathing it, and the fact that Rando always has heart — always he leads with heart — but he's so funny. He's so funny, personally, and he sees humor in almost everything he does. I think he's like the absolute perfect hand to guide this.

Santi Forest Monastery is preparing for Vassa, the annual Rains Retreat.
During this period the community will mainly focus on meditation practice. The Vassa also known as Rains Retreat or Rainy Season is the traditional time when monastics are encouraged by the Buddhist rules of conduct to stay in one place and dedicate themselves to study and meditative contemplation. During these three months the nuns at Santi will try to limit their external duties to a minimum. You may visit during the day and any meal offerings are greatly appreciated. We, the nuns and lay friends at Santi wish to thank everyone who have supported Santi in the past and who continue to support this precious opportunity for deep practice in the Buddha's teachings.
|Vassa starts 12th June
|Vassa ends 8th October
|Katina ceremony 26th October
During Vassa, Santi will continue to accept meal dana. If you wish to offer dana, please either:
- send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com,
- go on line to http://santifm.org/santi/dana/offering-meals-at-santi/ and fill in the Dana Form or
- leave a phone message. (We may not be answering the phone but messages will be checked daily.)
However, during Vassa the accommodation office will be closed and we will be unable to accept guests. Bookings will open again in the first week of October.
This year there are 5 nuns, 1 monk, 5 lay women and 3 lay men staying for the whole of the 3 months Retreat, for a total community size of about 14.
- Bhikkhuni Nirodha, Co-Abbot of Dhammasara Nuns Monastery in Western Australian, took Bhikkhuni ordination at Dhammasara in 2009.
- Venerable Adhimutta first ordained in Thailand as a Mae Chee in 2005 (at Wat Ram Poeng with Ajahn Suphan), subsequently going forth as a Samaneri at Santi Forest Monastery in 2008 and then as a Bhikkhuni at Aranya Bodhi in 2010 (with Ayya Tathaaloka Theri as Pavatini).
- Bhante Nandiya is a Kiwi Monk. He ordained as a Novice at Santi Forest Monastery in 2011, and as a Bhikkhu at Bodhinyana Monastery in 2013. He has done a great deal of work on the Sutta Central website.

Served on-tap at the brewery.
A - Pours clear yellow with a nice two finger tall white head, quickly dissipating down to a light film, leaving small webs of lace down the sides of the glass.
S - Smells of strong centennial hops, mildly toasted pale malts, dash of sugary sweetness and some pine needles. Hops are pretty strong initially with the sweetness slowly growing as it comes up to room temperature.
T - Starts off much like the nose does with the centennial hops taking center stage but from there the flavors get a little scattered. Hints of pine, sweet pale malts, and some light fruit zest offer some balance but the watery feel really brings this one down. Finish has some light hop bitterness but it doesn't linger for very long, washed away by the feel.
M - Medium-Light body with moderate carbonation. Thin, watery feel with some hop bitterness after each sip.
O - This one smells decent enough but it falls flat after that. The watery feel is off putting and the flavors are a touch out of sync. I won't be having another.

Enjoyed on tap at the tasting room in Hershey over 20 minutes.
The color is deep, clear gold--full of rising carbonation. Puffy lumpy head lingers fairly well and leaves a thick ring of bubbles with cascades of lacing.
The nose is nice and strong--botanical with good doses of spice. The flowers, grass and pine, to me, are much more prominent than the citrus, although grapefruit and orange are certainly there, along with mango. It also has some roast depth, almost with an edge of charred pitch. This is absolutely the most compelling element of the brew.
It goes in with a small burst of bubbles and quickly turns bitter clean. It's almost sharp and acidic for a bit. Then there's a hint of malt. Pine and citrus pith slide by and it ends bitter with some interesting spice (including white pepper), but rather thin and short. It's clean and easy to drink alongside food flavors in the mouth, but on its own, it's a bit weak.
Mouthfeel deficiencies are really the core of the letdown. Even more than the limp flavor structure, the splashy and uninteresting experience on the tongue and down the throat hurt this beer. It's not out of balance, but there's just not much "there there." The body is almost light enough, absent more interesting oils and malt structure, to make me think of a high production American lager. And I sincerely don't want to think of such things…
The Troegs dudes have made the effort to highlight a hop variety that is really a blast and adds great things to some great brews. On its own in this one, though, it's left hanging by the lack of heft and depth. Overall, this composition is little more than an etude…can't sing a song of praises this time, let alone marvel at a symphony of sensory experiences like I often do with a Hershey brew.

A: Pours a clear golden yellow with a substantial head, though one with little retention. It melts quickly into a frothy uneven bubbly lace that mostly clings to the sides of the glass.
S: Clear smell of the centennial hops. Not overwhelming; somewhat subdued. Subtle tropical fruity notes of pineapple are apparent - though spice reigns over them in all. Cloves and cinnamon dominate the nose for me.
T: Tastes as it smells. Hops come first, briefly followed by pure spice, which is then washed away into a sweet wateriness that leaves with swallow. In the aftertaste, the sweetness still leaves the tongue stained, but the back of the throat harbors the warming spice flavors.
M: Medium to light body with moderate carbonation. Certainly lighter than your standard IPA.
O: This is a very nice single hop IPA. Though it is somewhat thin, it is easy to drink and a nice way to appreciate this particular hop. It is not the best single hop beer on my list, but certainly one that I would drink again.

Family Violence Prevention Fund Will Break Ground on a New International Conference Center and Exhibit Hall in San Francisco's Presidio on Friday, January 8
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman, Major League Baseball Manager Joe Torre and Actress Joan Chen to Celebrate Renovation of Building 100 as State-of-the-Art Global Action Center
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – JANUARY 8 – The Family Violence Prevention Fund, one of the world's most innovative and respected agencies working to stop violence against women and children, is breaking new ground today with the start of construction on an international conference center and exhibition hall.
Among those joining Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) Founder and President Esta Soler for the groundbreaking ceremony at 3:00 PM will be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose support has provided significant funding for the $18 million project, actress Nicole Kidman, who will appear on behalf of UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who has been an active supporter of the FVPF's highly successful national campaign, Coaching Boys Into Men. Actress Joan Chen will perform an excerpt from the documentary play, "Seven."
"We intend to make this unprecedented international center a place where the world's best thinkers can come together to identify and develop strategies that prevent and stop violence against women and children," Soler said. "We are proud to take this space at the historic Presidio – once a place of war – and turn it into a place that promotes the safety and security that individuals, families and communities deserve and need. By identifying what works in communities large and small around the globe, we will help end the stigma and defeat the shame that allows violence to continue."
Building 100, located on the Main Post of San Francisco's historic Presidio, will be redesigned and reconstructed as a global action center to serve as a forum for international discourse, leadership training, education programs and public exhibitions designed to change attitudes and practices that harm women and children who are oppressed or exploited around the world. Architectural design was provided by BAR Architects and construction is being managed by Oliver and Company.
"The San Francisco Presidio, the crown jewel of our City, will now become home to the premier international center working to end violence against women and children," said Speaker Pelosi. "The International Center to Prevent Violence will bring solutions, collaboration, and leadership to one of the greatest moral issues of our time. Violence harms not just individuals; it tears at the fabric of entire societies. On this former military post, it is appropriate that we will work to prevent conflict, and ease the pain it causes – in homes and in nations."
Also participating in the event will be the new United States Ambassador to Australia, Jeff Bleich, who has been actively involved in the FVPF's "Founding Fathers" initiative – an annual effort to enlist men across America to take a public stand in support of positive solutions to end violence against women and children.
Fundraising for the new center began in 2003 when a group of 350 men in business, entertainment and sports joined together on Father's Day as new "Founding Fathers" to commit their public and personal support to the international center. Each man pledged $1,000 and lent his name to a public declaration that was printed in the New York Times on Father's Day. This tradition continues on Father's Day each year. Following this kick-off, the campaign was given a boost by the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who secured a federal investment of $1.5 million for the center's programs. Last year, the Speaker obtained an additional federal investment of $2 million for the rehabilitation of Building 100. An outstanding national volunteer leadership committee led by Judi Kanter, the Campaign Chair and former Director of EMILY's List, has been assembled to build support for the project.
The corporate sponsors and institutions that are playing a significant role in the funding and development of the center include: The Open Square Foundation, Blue Shield of California, The David B. Gold Foundation, The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, and Macy's. Bank of America is providing the Historic Tax Credit.
Among the features of the new building will be:
A Global Conference and Education Center
• Made possible with generous support from the Open Square Foundation, the heart of the international center is a state-of-the-art conference and education center.
Exhibit Hall
• Blue Shield of California will sponsor an interactive exhibit hall designed to engage audiences through exhibits, immersion learning experiences, and a variety of performances, film screenings, and other events. The programming will be a tool for teachers, parents, coaches and others to engage their students, children, and the general public in critical conversation about the impact of violence and the choices they face in preventing it.
Multi-Functional Classrooms
• These versatile small-group conference rooms will facilitate breakout sessions from the Conference Center, and be extensions of interactive exhibits.
• Equipped with translation services and interactive videoconference capabilities, these classrooms will support small group learning and activities, project planning, and other small group gatherings.
A Training Hub
• Judges and policymakers from around the world will share strategies, build consensus and problem solve on a wide variety of challenges that face the women, children and families whose lives they affect. Physicians, nurses and other world health leaders will share emerging research and new strategies to increase access to women's health services and improve the quality of women's health.

Ruling brings new life to Hawaiian suit against DuPoint
A federal appeals court has ruled that six Hawaii plant growers can bring racketeering and fraud charges against chemical maker DuPont Co. for crops they lost using a contaminated fungicide, the Associated Press reports. In a unanimous decision, three judges on the 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a federal judge''s dismissal of the case and reinstated the suit against the chemical manufacturer. DuPont, which produced the chemical Benlate, said in a statement it was considering an appeal to a larger panel of appellate judges or to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the 1950s, DuPont began manufacturing the fungicide, which is used to fight plant diseases, but ordered a halt to its production in 2002. It has paid more than $1 billion so far in settlements and legal fees on damage claims associated with the product. In April 1994, the group of Hawaii growers settled with DuPont for a combined $10 million in product liability cases before learning that the company withheld evidence of widespread contamination of Benlate. The distorted test results appeared in another trial in state court in Kona on the Big Island, in which the plaintiff, Kawamata Farms, won nearly $10 million in compensation and $14 million in punitive damages in January 1995. That prompted the group of Hawaii growers to sue DuPont once again, this time in federal court under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

A federal judge has struck down major components of the state's effort to dismiss a case challenging its decision to close a southern Illinois center for the developmentally disabled.
U.S. District Judge Marvin Aspen entered a ruling Tuesday evening upholding core tenets of a lawsuit filed by the Murray Parents' Association and developmentally disabled groups who are trying to block the closure of the Murray Developmental Center in Centralia later this year. The decision allows the case to move forward, but removes the Department of Human Services and Gov. Pat Quinn among the list of named defendants.
The facility's scheduled closure is part of Quinn's plan to save the state money and have more community-based care for people with disabilities.
Aspen said the state hasn't proven that moving residents to community-based care is less costly than another alternative. He also questioned the state's argument that a Supreme Court ruling requires the state to provide community-based care for disabled residents in certain circumstances.
Aspen cited the arguments by the Parents' Association describing "far more draconian conduct" by the state — putting Murray residents in group placements regardless of their needs and attempts by their guardians to secure spots at other state operated centers for the developmentally disabled.
Judith Sherwin, a lawyer that represents the Parents' Association, said Aspen's ruling boosts her group's case. "We now know exactly what he's looking for in terms of sustaining our causes of action by showing him the facts," Sherwin said.
Maura Possley, a spokeswoman at the Attorney General's office, which is representing the state, said the court's order "narrows the issues in the case."
Hearings on the case will begin Jan. 6 in Chicago.

text: It took 69 minutes, but San Jose forward Steven Lenhart finally broke the Dynamo defense and scored the opening goal of the night. Lenhart connected a diving header on the end of a Steven Beitashour cross and his shot slipped past the outstretched arms of Dynamo goal keeper Tally Hall. Lenhart started his run from the center of the pitch and split the space between Bobby Boswell and Hunter Freeman, creating just enough room to get the header off and score the goal.

Pacemakers and defibrillators
Pacemakers - What You Should Know
The essential information on pacemakers.
Living with a Pacemaker
What you need to know about living a normal life with a pacemaker.
Pacemaker Therapy for Heart Failure
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) yields remarkable results in some patients with heart failure.
Implantable Defibrillators
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is an implantable, pacemaker-like device that prevents sudden death from cardiac arrhythmias.
Who Should Have An Implantable Defibrillator?
Many people who are at increased risk for sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias should receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Preventing Sudden Death After a Heart Attack
Sudden death after a heart attack is all too common, but it can be prevented if doctors act appropriately.
ICD Recalls
While implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are generally quite safe, occasionally one of these devices are "recalled." But in this case, "recall" might not mean what you think.
Are Airport Security Full Body Scanners Safe with Pacemakers and ICDs?
The full body scanners at airport security are probably safe for people with pacemakers and ICDs- but just try to find it in writing.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Complications
Here is a discussion of the common complications that can occur with implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
Living With An Implantable Defibrillator
Several lifestyle considerations, including driving recommendations, need to be taken into account if you are considering an implantable defibrillator (ICD).
My Battery Is Low - So Why Does My Whole Pacemaker Need To Be Replaced?
Why pacemaker batteries don't last longer
The Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator (S-ICD)
The subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) is new type of implantable defibrillator. For many patients it is a safer choice.

Chris Mullin is out in Golden State. There's plenty of reason to expect Mullin to get a call from Donnie Walsh, and not just because he's too legit to quit.
Despite an upsurge of chatter claiming Donnie Walsh only has eyes for Chris Mullin -- a couple NBA observers assert the apparently departing Warriors VP has been promised the Knicks' GM job -- this is untrue, according to the team president.(Peter Vescey...)
Another edition of P&T's mammalian links featuring: Chris Duhon's house, another 10 days for Courtney Sims, and hits and misses from Donnie Walsh's first year.
"I feel responsible for the disruption," Walsh said. "Once you start making trades in the middle of the season, there's a disruption. I haven't done it a lot because of that. Teams I thought would advance, I wouldn't do it. I feel responsible I knocked the team off base. It put coaches and players in a difficult position."The Post
Good afternoon, peasants. This chilly Tuesday is uncharacteristically quiet on the basketball front, but let's run down a few links and items worth mentioning. - We've already mentioned that...
The Knicks rebuilding era begins...for real this time. 2010 here we come!
NEW YORK -- Stephon Marbury was inactive again Sunday, and Knicks president Donnie Walsh plans to speak with coach Mike D'Antoni and his point guard this week in hopes of clearing up an uncomfortable roster situation.

Fireworks vendors in the Black Hills remain hopeful the New Year will start off with a bang.
Mark Lantis, Manager of Lantis Fireworks in Piedmont says so far, business has been good. The store opened its doors Friday for the short fireworks season which ends January1. Lantis says judging from the amount of calls he's already received, he's hopeful this short season of sales will make up for a dismal July 4th season, which this year was a victim of South Dakota's severe drought.
"Our business was down when all said and done 80%," said Lantis. "I don't
think we could make that up in the 4 or 5 days that we have to sell now, but it
would be a nice addition if we could make some of that back."
The use of fireworks is not allowed within Rapid City or a one–mile area surrounding the city with the exception of certain novelty fireworks. Fireworks are also banned in the Black Hills Fire Protection District.

A gruesome discovery in Fort Madison after a dog is found beaten to death by the side of some railroad tracks.
The dog was being kept at the PAW animal shelter.
It went missing four days ago, only to be found dead Thursday morning.
The animal shelter staff is disgusted by the discovery of this murdered dog, but their main concern now is trying to find someone who will say something so these people or this person can be caught.
Shelter worker Tyler Duce says, "What power, he or she felt, or that group when they did that, the sick thing is they felt they needed that power in the first place."
Duce was the second person to see the dog we'll call "Jack" by the side of the tracks. It was mutilated, even though no trains were running at the time.
"Wasn't the nicest sight, I can tell you that's not something I ever want to see again or deal with," says Duce.
He believes several people were involved in Jack's death. his tail appeared to be broken, his ribs looked crushed, and jack's head was cut from his body.
"Things like this, the dog is not going to cooperate, they're not going to let you whether you know them, they're not going to lay down and let you hurt them," says Duce.
The problem for the shelter, as with many animal abuse cases, there are no apparent witnesses or evidence. Jack could have jumped his kennel's fence or he could have been taken. The shelter has no way to know. Its director Sandy Brown says they're relying on the town.
"This is a bragging crime, somebody, somewhere, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, someone's going to say something," says Brown.
When that happens, Brown wants whoever was told to come forward. Because she feels until whoever did this is caught, any dog is at risk.
"A dare, an initiation, a cult thing, and they did this to this dog, and it could happen to anybody's dog," says Brown.
The strength of an animal abuse case in court depends on witnesses and evidence. With very little evidence to go on, the shelter is hoping someone comes forward so justice can be done.
The shelter is not releasing any details of the dog because they hope something will come forward.
Under Iowa law, animal abuse or torture convictions carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison and fines.
The penalties increase if a person is convicted more than once.

Radiohead gig cancelled after stage death
Sun June 17, 2012 4:07pm
A RADIOHEAD concert in Canada has been cancelled after stage collapse left one person dead and three others injured.
Emergency Medical Services deputy commander David Viljakainen said a man who was trapped under the rubble was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials said he was in his mid-30s.
A 45-year-old man was taken to hospital with a head injury and two others were treated at the scene for minor injuries at the Downsview Park venue, said Mr Viljakainen.
The venue said on its website that the sold-out concert of the British rock band was cancelled.
Fire Services Platoon Chief Tony Bellavance said officials were alerted to a person trapped under the rubble and crews assisted in extracting the victim. "It was a crushing injury that killed the man," he said.
Police spokesman Tony Vella said crew were setting up the stage in Toronto when it collapsed.
"They were setting up when the top portion collapsed on top of them. Unfortunately, four people were hurt. The remainder of the people, when they heard the stage coming down, ran from the area," Mr Vella said.
Dusty Lalas, an employee with Toronto Radio Station The Edge, which was sponsoring the concert, said the structure suddenly caved in.
"There was a loud crash and it sounded like sheet metal and lightning and we just saw the stage collapse," Mr Lalas said.
Radiohead tweeted that "due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's concert at downsview park tonight has been cancelled. Fans are advised not to make their way to the venue".
Radiohead's website had listed the concert as being sold out, with 40,000 tickets sold.
Jaime Rivest, 33, said at around 4pm the stage suddenly came down, crumpling and falling onto itself.

The 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season puzzle is coming together slowly but surely. Pop Off Valve looks at the pieces that have fallen into place so far.
The IZOD IndyCar Series' Honda Indy Toronto event more closely resembled a NASCAR short-track race than a street circuit exhibition.

How better to recap the IZOD IndyCar Series Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach than through the medium of haiku poetry?

- New for 2014: Redesigned mobile fan experience; enhanced SlamTracker analytics; and new Wimbledon Social Command Centre powered by IBM SoftLayer cloud
- 25 Years On and ceaselessly reinventing: The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and IBM aim to deliver the most engaging Championships yet.
LONDON, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) is marking its 25 year partnership with The Championships, Wimbledon, by bringing tennis fans even closer to the prestigious event, with new ways to access and interact with the latest Championships news and court-side action as it happens.
IBM is serving numerous innovations to Wimbledon fans, including an enhanced interactive mobile experience; redesigned and simplified SlamTracker analytics that encourages engagement; and a new Social Command Centre powered by IBM SoftLayer cloud that will provide AELTC with insights into social media conversations about The Championships
The engaging Wimbledon 2014 experience continues a tradition that has existed since IBM became AELTC's technology supplier in 1990. Over the years, the partnership has consistently delivered innovative technology solutions, enhancing The Championships' experience for players, coaches and fans around the world.
"We continue to look for new ways to innovate and strengthen our leadership position in the sports industry, and one of the ways we will do this is by delivering content and information about The Championships to fans in the way that they want to consume it, no matter where they are," said Mick Desmond, Commercial Director at AELTC. "Working with IBM is a winning partnership because it allows us to create a unique digital environment that delivers stats, video and information to our fans whenever they want it on all devices and is the next best thing to being there."
New IBM Technology Innovations at The Championships 2014 include:
The Wimbledon Social Command Centre will consist of:
Cloud-based Predictive Analytics
During the Wimbledon Fortnight, the AELTC transforms into a massive, data hungry environment that requires access to accurate and dynamic content to meet the demands of millions of tennis fans. During 2013, there were more than 19 million unique visitors and some 430 million page views of Wimbledon.com during The Championships. This is impressive by any standards, especially so for a business that for fifty weeks of the year is a tennis club in southwest London.
Annually, IBM helps the AELTC expand its infrastructure to meet these demands and then scale back to support regular operations following the tournament.
To meet this high demand and the scalability required to support such a high profile event, IBM is now using SmartCloud Orchestrator to dynamically, securely and rapidly optimize digital platform hosting for The Championships. The IBM Watson Foundation's Big Data and analytics platform captures and analyses relevant data from multiple sources, enabling IBM to predict web traffic and proactively adjust the cloud infrastructure to dynamically accommodate based on demand while offering transparent and real-time access by a multitude of devices, such as smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.
This dynamic provisioning powered by IBM servers and storage in three geographically dispersed locations virtualized as one, analyses historic web use, player popularity, the schedule of play and the social media buzz about particular matches. All this input enables IBM to ensure that just the right amount of resources is provisioned to ensure a perfect visitor experience whilst not 'over provisioning' so we don't waste energy or cost at the same time.
The same kind of technology is used by organizations such as retailers and travel companies who have to accommodate major swings in seasonal demand.
Sport as a Metaphor for Business
"The Championships allow us to demonstrate how these same cloud, analytics, mobile and social capabilities are being used by IBM clients globally. For example to improve transport networks and improve pediatric care," said Sam Seddon, Wimbledon Client & Program Executive for IBM. "By using Wimbledon focused social media feeds to better understand fans, customers, in real time, we are enabling AELTC to better manage their digital presence and understand how its brand is perceived."
"In addition, by helping Wimbledon provide a better experience to fans we help them achieve their mission of being the best tennis tournament in the world," Seddon added. "Our clients across other industries can do the same to improve customer experience and help develop market opportunities."

Marine death not 'friendly fire'
An initial review into the deaths of a Royal Marine in Afghanistan has revealed it was not caused by "friendly fire", the Ministry of Defence has said.
27 year-old Corporal David O'Connor was serving with 40 Commando, based in Taunton.
He was killed while on patrol in Helmand Province on Wednesday.
Corporal Channing Day from 3 Medical Regiment was also killed. Both were deployed to Afghanistan last month to help train Afghan National Security Forces.
An Afghan man, who is believed to have been a member of the Afghan Uniformed Police also died during the incident, an MOD spokesperson confirmed.
He added that the deaths were not the result of a "friendly fire" incident but that investigations into who was responsible could take some time.

TROY, N.Y. -- The case against a Troy woman accused of stealing nearly a half million dollars from the Boston Marathon bombing victims fund continues as the accused appeared in court for a second arraignment.
Audrea Gause faced her second arraignment Monday morning in Massachusetts. She's accused of lying about her injuries to obtain $489,000 from the One Fund.
She was arrested on July 19th and sent to Boston, where she was first arraigned in early August. Her arraignment on Monday included larceny and gross fraud charges, following a recent grand jury indictment.
The Massachusetts Attorney General says Gause claimed she suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the Boston Marathon bombing and experienced long-term memory loss, impaired speech, and loss of some motor function that would require future surgery.
According to the Attorney General, on June 3rd, One Fund officials received a detailed and notarized claim from Gause, which included several pages of purported medical records, indicating that she had been hospitalized at the Boston Medical Center for two days, and thereafter at the Albany Medical Center for ten days.
Based on the information contained in the claim and the attached purported medical records, Gause's claim was approved for payment and the money was subsequently sent to her in the end of June.
But the AG's office received a tip that Gause may not have been in Boston during the Marathon Bombing in April. The investigation determined that Gause was not a patient at Boston Medical Center on the day of the bombing, nor was she a patient at Albany Medical Center at the times she claimed.
The Troy Police Department said that she used old hospital documents from back when she had a leg injury.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Someone in Madison County is $1.1 million richer.
That person hit the Hoosier Lotto jackpot Aug. 29, but didn't claim the prize until Dec. 21.
The check was issued to Platinum LLC, which "was created to keep the winner's name confidential," said lawyer James O. Anderson, who claimed the check on its behalf.
Anderson picked up the check at the Hoosier Lottery headquarters in Indianapolis.
On Thursday, Anderson said that First Merchants Trust Co. is the sole member of Platinum LLC, and will handle the money for the winner. He said it would likely be invested.
Hoosier Lotto spokesman Al Larsen said it was not uncommon for a limited liability company to be formed to protect a winner's confidentiality.
In 2011, The Chicago Tribune reported that about 20 percent of the $1 million-plus prize winners in Illinois form a legal entity to claim their money. The extra step can allow winners to keep their sudden riches from being under the spotlight or create tax benefits.
On Dec. 19, a $1 million Powerball prize won in Noblesville was claimed at Hoosier Lottery headquarters. The prize was claimed by SPII Investments, LLC.
Similarly, a November Hoosier Lotto jackpot winner of $3.5 million was claimed by M Kids, LLC of Gary, Ind. A representative for the LLC, attorney Geff Rainbolt, accepted the winnings and indicated that the winner was a Hoosier and a regular Hoosier Lottery player who wished "to maintain their current lifestyle."
According to records with the Indiana Secretary of State, Platinum LLC was formed by Anderson on Dec. 12 with an address listed as one for First Merchants Trust Co. on Meridian Street in Indianapolis.
Though the name of the individual winner may be protected, it is known that the winner goes to the Meijer store in Anderson.
The winning ticket was purchased in August at the Meijer store at 6610 Scatterfield Road in Anderson.
This Hoosier Lotto jackpot is one of seven for 2012. The other six winning tickets were bought in Indianapolis, Gary, Frankfort, Columbus, Highland and Shelbyville.
