After only three days Former Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey is abandoning his bid for governor of Colorado.
Laffey said he is ditching his candidacy to avoid a primary with fellow Republican Tom Tancredo who announced his candidacy Thursday.
Laffey said he and Tancredo "agree on much" noting that they will both fight for limited government, freedom, and jobs. He said he is stepping aside to give "a Republican the best chance to win."
Tancredo is not shy to Rhode Island either he spent time in the Ocean State speaking to conservative groups about stricter immigration law enforcement.
The last time Laffey faced off in a primary was 2006 when he lost his bid for the U.S. Senate seat to Lincoln Chafee.
Laffey's full statement is as follows:
"After Tom's entrance into the Governor's race yesterday, I consulted with my wife and close friends. After discussion and prayer I have decided to withdraw from the 2014 Governor's race in Colorado.
I have been in two contentious primaries, against people with whom I disagreed immensely and were leading us in the wrong direction. When I entered this race there was no one else who had the capability to bring the case for Limited Government, Freedom and Jobs to the people of Colorado. In this case, Tom and I agree on much, plus he is a good and honorable man, has a great background for the job, and will work towards producing more freedom for the people of Colorado.
That would leave us with a divisive primary, arguing over mostly non-issues, splitting the fundraising in Colorado so that little is left for the general election (given Colorado's restrictive campaign laws), and dividing the Republican Party— ending with, for different reasons, the same disastrous results in 2014. Tom stepped in in 2010 on strong principled reasons; this will give a Republican the best chance to win in November.
This decision is best for Colorado."

Mdot, we are in agreement.
In regards to them blowing it, the odds are that management will see CL has a way for them to cash in and fill their own pockets.
I remember when Guimaraes finished third and not too long ago, they stole 9 mil for Bebe recently. Yet their finances were in shambles, right after that.
Certain teams I have no pity for. Guimaraes is lucky enough to have a somewhat loyal fan base which is rare in Portugal. Yet they have failed to capatilized on that. And by that I mean just being consistent.
I may be harsh towards Braga, but I am afraid that they are squandering this run they've been on. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Paços march on
Braga 2-3 Paços de FerreiraPaços de Ferreira continued their remarkable season with a 3-2 victory at Braga last night. The victory puts the Castores four points clear in 3rd place in the table. Should they hold onto that position, Paços will be competing in next season's Champions League.
The visitors went into the game on the back of six victories in their last seven Liga matches, and only two league defeats all season - to Benfica and FC Porto.
The supreme confidence running through Paulo Fonseca's side was evident as three wonderfully constructed goals put Paços three goals up by the 50th minute. Two clinical finishes from Hurtado in the first half and Cícero after the break, all from headers, set up the win.
Braga reacted well to the seemingly hopeless situation, and goals from Salino and Éder put the Arsenalistas right back in it with 25 minutes left to play.
But Paços held on, much to the relief of their travelling supporters, who had to take refuge in a corner of the stadium in the first half after their section was invaded by some Braga fans who took exception to their celebrations.
Fonseca proudPaulo Fonseca was naturally delighted with the result. "I'm extremely proud of my players. We fully deserved the victory given what we did on the pitch. A word of appreciation for our supporters as well, who had some difficult moments. This win is for them," said the Paços coach.
The full time whistle also saw the home supporters waving white handkerchiefs and chants calling for Braga coach José Peseiro's removal from his position. But president António Salvador categorically stated there would be no change in the dugout.
"I can guarantee José Peseiro will be staying in his position until the end of the championship. It's obviously a bad result, but I believe in these players and in this coach and I believe we will achieve our objective of finishing the season in 3rd place."

I agree that the odds of success are slim, and I agree even more that their biggest issue is the amount of loan players they have. When they went to league cup final a couple of years ago and had a good season by their standards, they got next to nothing as most of their good player were loans which just went back to their home club.
However if they do take that CL spot, this summer they will have the ability to spend just a little extra knowing they will get money from just being in the playoff round. In addition when they are shopping around for talent in the summer, any player that would be going to a Portuguese club (outside of the big 3) would have Pacos on their list as the team to join because they will have an opportunity to play in the biggest tournament. Every prospect's dream is to just get a shot to show off their talent at that level which the hopes they will impress the likes of a top CL club.
For now they have a good team and I fully expect that most of these guys will try to move on to better things as soon as the season is done, it will be up to the management of the club to sign the right parts, hopefully get a bit of luck and likely loss any good talent in the following winter transfer. The difference will be if by next season they have their own players vs. loan players and if they are making some profits of those players to allow them to continue to invest in new talent and grow the club. It also wouldn't shock me if I hear that their management completely screws things up, blows the cash, can't pay players, and they are back in the second division in a couple of years. For now I'll just hope for the best.
Reality isn't always pretty

Mdot, I agree that it would be great for the league and clubs if there were multiple clubs competing for CL play. Even if we had a Top 2, but still had two or three clubs competing for that last spot would be great. As per example if Sporting had kept their part of the bargain and were up top with Braga and Pacos vying for that spot, it would of been great.
Sporting has the sponsorship deals that should allow them to put that additional CL money to good use and compete in qualifiers. Braga's recent success should allow them to do the same. Granted, good vision and management is necessary.
The problem with Pacos is that they are living in a different world. They survive by loaning out and in players, to go along with free transfers. They would sell any of their players if they could get decent money for them, even with CL looming. Players would also want to go for higher wages. Would you be shocked if manager also moved on to better offer, to let's say Sporting? Even in that mess, he would go.
All I'm saying is that Pacos would be better served in Europa. If they faltered in CL qualifier or playoff, and if one of the Big 2 get bounced out of CL, it would really be harmful for the league.
Everyone loves a Cinderela story, including me. I just try to see the big picture, where its not always pretty. That doesn't mean I won't root for them.
By the way, I am a fan of Atletico in Liga de Honra, and was really hoping they would have gotten promoted last season. Even though it might of not been the best thing for league.
Exciting year
8 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 20:40
torpiano - lol, i saw her waving that flag, you know it's over for you as a manager when you lose her support lol.
When you look at how tight the title race is, then throw in the unexpected 3 way race for the CL with Pacos, Braga, and Rio Ave.
Looking at the EL you have Estoril having a fantastic first year back in the top flight followed up by Maritimo, Vitoria, and Academica all looking to see European footie again.
At the relegation level you have one hell of a dog fight from 10th to 16th spot only having a 5 point gap. Every club has something to be fighting for and depending on how the next few weeks pass by we may see a new set of clubs fighting for the EL vs. relegation. Exciting stuff at all levels making every match worth watching and I hope it results in more revenue in terms of ticket sales and tv viewers.
On a side note, I'm sick of the comments that if X team goes through it's bad for Portugal. People used to say it would be bad for Portugal if Braga went to the CL but it has resulted in Braga having some extra financial backing to stay competitive and continue to try to build on their success. While I agree that the likelihood of Pacos doing well in the CL is very low but just making the playoff rounds will give them over 2million in cash, if they luck out and make the group stage that could be 10million extra in cash, heck if they fail in the CL playoffs they go to the EL group stage which could potentially get them another 2million and maybe a knockout stage run.
At the end of the day, I think this is very healthy for our liga to have some of the mid-table teams actually get a chance at a big European tournament. The cash can be used to make their club stronger to help their odds of building on their current success and the excitement of making it to that level for these clubs can draw out some extra fans and dollars. As great at it would be to see Portugal grow and have 4CL spots, I think that unrealistic. I think if we continue to have Benfica and Porto make some good runs, throw in the odd good run by either Braga or Sporting, and we can have other mid-table clubs get a shot (and likely fail) at these tournaments and still keep our 3 CL spots. The countries below that have 2 spots aren't extreme powerhouses in Europe, the only one that's a big thread is Russia since they their clubs keep trying to spend their way to success.
Excellent encounter
7 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 19:23
This was an outstanding match. Pacos were very solid if not spectacular, lethal on the counter attack. They earned the win and deserve their current standing. However to me Braga are clearly a better squad, for the most part. For one thing they had their own fans against them. All that damn whistling, i thought my speakers were going to blow. How do they expect their players to be in top form with that kind of "support". Eder and Joao Pedro were electrifying. Custodio was more lively in the second half with some nice chance creating passes. Sorry to say Alan looked old and lacking pace, shooting far over or losing possession with seemingly every touch. He should have been substituted rather than joao Pedro and sooner. Once Pedro was out of the match, the Portuguese Arsenal no longer looked anywhere near as threatening. Not sure where Braga got the idea that Quim is a better option than Beto. He was poor, but again was subject to harsh whistles after letting the first goal in. In truth, Eder should have taken this game by the scruff of the neck and finished at least one more of his chances. Nevertheless, his prowess belongs in Bento's first XI. Pacos will need to buy some talent if they hold on to third and want to escape the CL qualifying rounds. Cassio josue, and Hurtado stood out as the top performers for them. Nevertheless, I believe os arsenalistas will reclaim third by the conclusion of the season.
4 Points Up
6 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:53
Another fantastic team display from Pacos, another round of selfish, terrible finishing from Braga.
Mossoro should of done better and Eder could have had 3 goals.
Once again the reason Pacos is the better side is they defend-attack as a TEAM, watch their goals. On both Hurtado goals the passer could have taken the low percentage shot but chose to pass for the sure goal, that is the difference between these sides.
I am with Chris, this Braga team is poor, Salino is horrendous at the back, their midfield gives the ball away too much and their best players (imo) dont get the ball enough, Eder and Alan.
How about the classless fans put the pressure on who deserves it, the Braga players!!
Braga doesn't deserve the champions league
5 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 18:14
As Chris mentioned, Pacos Ferreira certianly are a "well-oiled machine". Paulo Fonseca has done a remarkable job with such limited resources. On paper, Pacos Ferreira really isn't packed with individually brilliant players. Fonseca has managed to get the very best out of every single player, thus enabling them to outclass teams who theoretically have "better" players. Pacos defend as a team, press as a team, and attack as a team. Each and every player knows how to excecute their individual roles to perfection.
Look at Vitor. He isn't the flashiest, most technically gifted player in the Liga. He isn't a powerful physical presence, and he isn't blessed with exceptional athleticism. Neverthelss, he works tirelessly on and off the ball, pressing opposition midfielders, making tackles, dictating play, making runs from midfield, linking up with teammates, and scoring goals. For me, he is the heartbeat of this Pacos side, and just the type of player who can thrive under Fonseca's team-first philosophy.
Braga on the other hand may be more entertaining to watch under Peseiro, but their signiture disciplined defense is nowhere to be found. Quim is slightly less erratic than Beto, but is still not a significant upgrade. Other than Douglao, I can't really think of any competent defenders on the entire squad. The likes of Vinicius, Nuno Andre Coelho, Hass, and Sasso are far cries from the likes of Alberto Rodriguez, Moises, and Paulao.
Both fullback positions are also weak defensively. Salino can be excellent going forward, but is a real liability defensively. He is a midfielder by trade, so you can't really fault him for not being the greatest defender. Even Ismaily, if I recall correctly, isn't a natural left-back. I'm pretty sure that he prefers to play as a winger.
It really is a shame that Braga's defense is this weak because with better defenders (or a more defense-oriented coach) Braga could have held on to their leads against Man United, propelling them into the round of 16.
Mrs Braga wasn't happy!!

She got her white handkerchief out for this one, so Braga must have played poorly.
I'm sure you've all seen her -
stupid stupid stupid

can i just say all clubs in every country have some really stupid fans. i dont care if yall support moreirense braga benfica sporting or portoo they all do stupid things. the actions of braga fans towards p.ferriera fans yesterday was so stupid and unesscary.
Pacos-the giant killers
2 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 14:41
Wanted to catch this game when I got home from work, but best I could do was see the highlights of all the goals. Looked like a cracker of a match.
Pacos is playing some beautiful football. All 3 goals were brilliant for them, and really exposed the poor defensive coverage of Salino and Ismailly which has been a problem all year. Although, Salino's goal was quite nice as well. And it was good to see Eder continue on his goal-scoring run.
NJ, not sure if I agree with you. This version of Braga has been poor, so I wouldn't necessarily mind a solid team like Pacos make the Champions if only to see what they can do. I actually think it would be brilliant to see a well-oiled machine like this team, with no real stars or massive egos take on some of the big boys. I don't think they would do that badly.
Where I do agree with you is about the absolutely disgraceful display shown by Braga fans. That was disgusting. We really should have our FPF members take a trip up to Germany to learn from them how they stamped this garbage out of the game, and to copy their format in making fans feel safe and increasing attendances. Surely we can do better than this!
1 Tuesday, 12 February 2013 13:11
Unbelievable. After a disappointing weekend from the Big 3, Braga goes and drops the most important points of all. If Braga is unable to earn a CL spot and reach the group stages Portugal could find itself closer to losing a CL spot once again. That will not be good for the league.
I'm shocked yet happy to see Braga keep the manager. This should allow for him to refocus squad and get them going. CL qualification should be their only priority. That being said, should Braga lose the next one, I think he'll be gone.
All hail P Ferreira. Amazing run they've been on. Similar to Guimaraes a few years back when they edged out Benfica for third. I don't know if they have the horses to continue this pace.
I'm also concerned about them being able to maintain squad and/or improve. The CL qualifiers have become much harder, so it will very hard for them to advance.
It's a great story, but for selfish reasons I would prefer to see a more experienced Braga make the CL.
Lastly, I hope that Braga gets a substantial fine and has to play in an empty stadium for their next hone game. I don't care who they face.
That fan behavior can not be tolerated. How is the league suppose to increase attendance, more families, when this goes on.
The fan who threw the bottle at Nacional should be banned for life and arrested.
This goes for every team. Any fan of the Big 3 that throws anything, especially golf balls, should be banned for life and arrested. The clubs should also incur heavy fines and forced to play dark matches. Hence losing further revenue.

ONE of Australia's native creatures decided he would come out yesterday and see what was happening at Orange's Australia Day celebrations in Cook Park.
A red-bellied black snake measuring one and a half metres was seen slithering from the Cook Park footpath into a garden bed in a house opposite the crossing near the front gates of Cook Park yesterday afternoon.
Orange Police contacted snake expert Greg Pringle who caught the snake and drove it out to release it into bushland on the outskirts of Orange.
"He could have been disturbed by all the activity in the park," Mr Pringle said.
"But it's hard to tell where he came from - although he was probably looking for water," he said.
Mr Pringle estimated the snake to be between three or four years old.
He said the snake could grow to a maximum of two metres and is venomous.
"But certainly not as much as an Eastern Brown," he said.
In captivity the snakes are known to live as long as 25 years.
However, Mr Pringle said in the wild this type of snake usually only has a life span of around eight years due to natural predators in the wild and the chances of being run over if they move

RICHMOND (WRIC) - The athletic trainer accused of having sex with a Monacan High School student went before a judge today.
Not a word from Kristen Beck this morning - as she walked out of the chesterfield county juvenile and domestic courthouse...with her attorney and friends.
"No statement today," says Beck's attorney Edward Riley. "She's just anxious to get this out of the way."
Investigators say the 30-year-old woman had a sexual relationship with a teenage boy, who's an athlete at Monacan High School.
Beck doesn't work directly for Chesterfield County Schools. She is a private contractor for HCA Virginia.
According to the arrest report, Beck and the student both admitted to having sex.
Beck has only been charged with a misdemeanor because the teen was over 15, and the sex was consensual.
Police said the alleged inappropriate conduct did not take place on school property.
Beck's court hearing today only lasted for a few minutes - before she got in her car and drove off.
A trial date has been set for December 19.

Total Structures new wave Truss
As its name suggests, new wave (patent pending) is the next generation in trussing. Its patented construction methods and connection system make it unique, and allow previously unused materials and concepts to be introduced into truss design. The array of finishes and arrangements that can be achieved surpasses anything that has come before it. A-wave is the grandfather of the new wave series in that it uses traditional aluminum chords with the extruded-plate technology. The A-wave offers several unique faces to the world of modular truss in addition to the more typical polished silver and powder-coated finishes. C-wave combines the aluminum extruded-plate technology with space-age carbon fiber chords. The strength-to-weight properties of carbon fiber are well known, and utilizing established manufacturing processes combined with a carefully developed lamination pattern, C-wave brings this technology to modular structures for the first time. P-wave is the decorative version of the series and it is made entirely of Plexiglas. P-wave really comes into its own when lit. P-wave has the potential to become not just the structure for lighting support but part of the light show itself.

Virginia Department of Transportation
CULPEPER — On Feb. 21 the Virginia Department of Transportation will conduct an overnight traffic switch on the Zion Crossroads diverging diamond interchange (DDI) project on Route 15 in Louisa County.
Beginning at 9 p.m., all traffic through the work zone will be controlled by flaggers and police. Only through travel on Rt. 15 and right turns on and off Interstate 64 will be permitted. Vehicles wishing to turn left on and off the I-64 ramps will be redirected using short detours.
VDOT advises motorists of intermittent stops and delays on Rt. 15 during the traffic switch, which will be completed earlySaturday morning. Traffic on I-64 will not be affected.
In the event of inclement weather, the switch will occur overnight Feb. 22, beginning at 7 p.m.
When driving the new DDI configuration, motorists will proceed through a traffic signal at the interchange and follow their lane to the opposite side of the roadway. Motorists needing to access Interstate 64 will merge left using an on-ramp without having to stop or wait for oncoming traffic to pass. Through traffic proceeds to a second traffic signal and follows their lane back to the right side of the road.
Construction activity on the $6.88-million DDI will continue through its April 15 completion date. The interchange is being built by Corman Construction Inc. and is the first of its kind in Virginia. For more information and background, visit the Zion Crossroads Interchange project page on VDOT's website.

Two groups of North Ridge Middle School students both earned fourth place at an international competition last week for their projects that tackled two issues affecting the community.
One group of Future Problem Solvers in sixth through eighth grade tackled an environmental project inspired by last summer's drought, while another Future Problem Solvers group of fourth- through sixth-graders combated the county's health issues by creating fitness stations for one of Danville's city parks.
Earlier in the year, both North Ridge groups, totaling 24 students, beat out other Future Problem Solvers groups statewide to earn the privilege of representing Illinois in their age divisions at the Future Problem Solvers International competition, which was held last week at Indiana University in Bloomington.
The competition typically draws about 9,000 young future problem solvers in three age divisions — elementary, junior and senior — from around the globe.
Both North Ridge groups competed in the community problem solving category, which had a total of 79 projects entered. Students were judged on their projects, with judges interviewing the students and asking them questions about their projects.
North Ridge math teacher Lori Woods, who is the groups' adviser, said one of the highlights of the five-day event was when the Danville students were paired with a team from Turkey.
"The best thing about this year's competition was being Turkey's buddy team," Woods said. "The purpose of the competition was to interact with others from around the United States and around the world.
"It was Turkey's first year to compete, and they had never seen yellow school buses before."
Another highlight was when the Danville students — including former Future Problem Solver Christian Cunningham who accompanied the North Ridge students to the competition as a volunteer — participated in a variety show.
North Ridge eighth-grader and three-year Future Problem Solver member Kendall Campbell taught her teammates and the Turkish students the lyrics to "What a Wonderful World" in sign language, which they signed while Cunningham sang the song during the variety show.
"That was a lot of fun," Kendall said, adding that she knows sign language from a group at her church.
"It was a cool experience because how else would you get to meet kids from Turkey?" she said.
"We learned all kinds of Turkish words and, by the end of the week, we were really close."
Kendall said she continues to keep in contact with one of the Turkish students through Facebook, Tweeting and texting.
Helping the environment
It was also Kendall who came up with the idea for her team to tackle an environmental project this year. Kendall co-chaired the environmental project with fellow eighth-grader Natalie Hummer.
But when the drought and North Ridge's school renovations prevented the students from pursuing their original project of planting in the green spaces in the school's courtyards, their focus shifted to a sustainability project.
The students visited recycling centers and other businesses in the area to seek donations of castoffs that they could repurpose and upscale with a little elbow grease and paint into items that served a new purpose.
After looking at what they had collected, the students thought about how they could create a culture of sustainability.
Using old wooden cable spools from Advantage Recycling, old patio tables from Turtle Run Golf Course and Banquet Center and tiles from Bargain Barn, the students worked over the winter in a space donated by Danville Gardens to create a ping-pong table, two game tables, three smaller tables, five rockers and several small chairs. The students also repainted some shepherd's hooks for hanging plants.
Kendall said the projects that won first through third place in her team's age division "were really big and very interesting projects."
Health Crunchers
The second Future Problem Solver group also presented its project, "Health Crunchers: Crunching and Munching Our Way to a Healthier and Fitter Future," at the international competition.
Sixth-grader Makayla Smith co-chaired the Health Crunchers group with fellow sixth-grader Nathaniel Pollert.
The group of North Ridge and East Park students researched and wrote a report about how Vermilion County ranks 96th out of 102 Illinois counties for being healthy.
After finding out that the area is in the top 10 percent of the unhealthiest counties in the state, the students began to work on figuring out what could be done to help this.
The students found out that poverty was a factor in being one of the unhealthiest counties, so they decided to create eight fitness stations at Espenscheid Park near Kimball and Voorhees streets.
The students also designed signs for the park that explain how many calories an individual will burn by walking a certain distance and then doing an exercise.

The baby now enters it's fetal period. The average size is approximately 27-35 mm crown to rump length (CRL), or 1.06-1.38 inches. S/he weighs in at 4 grams, or 4 paper clips. Tiny toes have formed. The eyes are largely open, but the eyelids are beginning to fuse, and will stay that way until 25-27 weeks. External genitalia is beginning to differentiate. External ears are completely formed, as well as the upper lip. The biggest accomplishment this week is the disappearance of the tail!

Nearly three weeks into the Butler trial, the prosecution finally rested its case yesterday. Today was the first full day of testimony on behalf of the defense, and among those taking the stand today was Dr. Thomas Butler himself.
Dr. Butler took the stand just after 11am and when the court adjourned five hours later he was still on the stand. His opening response to the first question was, "I am not guilty of any of the charges in the indictment."
The Texas Tech researcher testified he did nothing wrong and cooperated entirely during the bio terrorism scare that's blamed on him. Butler explained what happened in his own words to a federal grand jury for the first time, taking them step by step through the process that started with him as a witness, but led to him as the suspect. He recounted the round of questioning that resulted in the plague going from missing to destroyed. According to Butler, that came about when Agent Dale Green told him, after a thorough investigation we think the vials must have been accidentally destroyed.
"I was puzzled. I knew I didn't accidentally destroy the vials," said Butler.
The agent went on to say they had eliminated all other possibilities, there was no forced entry, had questioned everyone with access to the lab, no suspicious persons were reported....therefore there was no other solution. Butler said, that's when Green tried to convince him that maybe he destroyed the vials. Butler said that Agent Green told him, "If you're able to recall this for me, give me a statement and I'll be on your side. We'll both walk out of here and no one will be arrested."
Butler said he and Agent Green worked on the wording of a written statement together admitting he'd accidentally destroyed the vials, then two hours later Butler was arrested.
The trial continues tomorrow with Butler on the stand.

The Oregon State Beavers travel to Eugene this weekend to tangle with the ninth-ranked Oregon Ducks, who are playing for a berth in the Pac-12 Conference Championship Game.
Oregon State picked up just its third win of the season last weekend, but probably its most important as the Beavers stunned Washington, 38-21, in Corvallis. The Beavers got 339 passing yards and two touchdowns from QB Sean Mannion.
Oregon needs a win over Oregon State to clinch the Pac-12 North. With a loss, Stanford, a team the Ducks beat two weeks ago, would sneak in. Oregon lost in heart-breaking fashion last weekend, dropping a 38-35 thriller to USC after kicker Alejandro Maldonado missed a 37-yard field goal with five seconds remaining.
Game date, time: 3:30 pm ET, Saturday, Nov 26
Location: Autzen Stadium - Eugene, OR
TV channel: ABC
Spread: Oregon favored by 28.
Series history: Oregon leads, 45-43-6.

Nitro Circus Live, the global touring phenomenon featuring 55 of the world's best action sports athletes, wrapped its record breaking Australian tour a couple of weeks ago at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena.

THEATER REVIEW: 'Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde'
Should one feel despair at the end of Moises Kaufman's "Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde"? The 1895 punishment meted out to the great writer by the British legal system and his subsequent physical decline was a travesty, one of the great sadnesses of literary history (which, considering all the horrible things that have happened to artists over the years, is saying something).
Or should one feel vindication knowing that within mere years after Wilde was tossed into prison with hard labor for his homosexuality that his works were selling like crazy, and that less than a hundred years later many in British society would look back on the whole experience with shame and revulsion?
Interestingly, I felt both despair and vindication after viewing the The New Ensemble Theater Group's new and uneven production, which continues for one more weekend at the Broken Leg Stage. I've become used to having a good "think" after one of TNE's plays, and this one is no exception. Director Heather Parish's brisk staging and Kaufman's crackling script combine for a near whirlwind experience, but if you let the storyline and its implications soak in afterward, that's when the real impact occurs.
Parish likes to mix it up when it comes to gender-blind casting, and in this production she makes the tantalizing decision to cast Oscar Wilde with a woman. Haley White delivers a finely crafted and nuanced performance. Her Wilde is a smug and pompous elitist, of course, and when the character engages in the first of his three trials — instigated by Wilde himself after the father of his young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas (played by a precise and impressive Bridget Martin), calls him out for his sexuality — his haughty confidence is thick in the air.
When Wilde's confidence is shaken on the witness stand, there's a subtle but remarkable transformation in White's portrayal that is extremely effective. We get a glimpse of the Wilde who will be flailing by the time his third trial ends.
While I thought having a woman portray the title character works, what I missed from this production was an undercurrent of sexual tension. The ensemble members portraying Wilde's accused lovers are also played by women, including Jessica Reedy and Brooke Aiello (both of whom are very good), so everything is appropriately parallel in terms of same-sex attraction. But because of the way it's directed, or my own male-centric prejudices, I just didn't pick up on the forbidden sensuality that came across so clearly when I saw an earlier production of this play. (There's even a line that explains why sexual relations between men were forbidden by Britain but no corresponding law against relations between women because those things just didn't happen — so perhaps I'm ensnared in a cultural or personal construct here.)
In terms of the acting ensemble, Thomas Nance, usually a stalwart company member, had some uneven moments at the Friday performance I attended. And this is one of those times when the tiny Broken Leg space and the minimal scenic and lighting design worked slightly against the show — which is a pretty rare way for me to feel at a New Ensemble production. But overall, this "Gross Indecency" gives a fascinating and unorthodox glimpse at a remarkable artist.

Jeep Wrangler Diesel Likely After Refresh in 2015
Jeep CEO Mike Manley is betting on the success of a diesel-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee to make the case for an oil-burner in the brand's iconic model. AUSTIN, TX – Jeep enthusiasts waiting to see a diesel engine under the Wrangler's hood will have to be patient just a little longer. "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel," Jeep President and CEO Mike Manley tells WardsAuto at a drive here of the new Grand Cherokee diesel and other models. "Remember we're also going through the product change of Wrangler for 2015-16. That will probably be the right time to introduce the diesel into that vehicle. "I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel." The Grand Cherokee SUV and Ram 1500 pickup both will offer diesel powertrains this year, as will the new-for-'14 Ram ProMaster. The move to improve fuel economy in the wake of toughening U.S. fleet fuel-economy standards has paved the way for more diesel offerings in the U.S. and could make Wrangler a prime candidate for such an engine. Manley has been fielding questions from Jeep enthusiasts about the potential of a Wrangler diesel since assuming the top spot at Jeep. "I try and stay as close to social media as I can, because ultimately it has to mean something," he says of […]

Jeep Pondering A Diesel-Powered Wrangler
Atop the wish list for many Jeep Wrangler owners is one simple request: build our beloved, go-anywhere SUV with a diesel engine option. Not only would a diesel Wrangler offer up greater fuel economy on road, but it would deliver an extended range off-road, too, presenting a win-win scenario for hardcore off-roaders. As The Detroit Free Press points out, a diesel Wrangler may soon be a reality, but there's still one final hurdle to clear. To justify the expansion of Jeep's diesel product offerings, first the new diesel-powered Grand Cherokee must prove to be a commercial success. The Grand Cherokee diesel uses a Fiat-sourced 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6, rated at 240 horsepower and a stump-pulling 420 pound-feet of torque. On the highway, the diesel version will deliver up to 32 mpg, a gain of 9 mpg over the gasoline-powered 3.6-liter V-6 Grand Cherokee, or 11 mpg better than the current 3.6-liter Jeep Wrangler. While there's no doubt that a 30+ mpg Wrangler would have appeal, it's not clear if buyers would be willing to shell out the additional cost that the diesel engine dictates. That's why Jeep is using the more expensive Grand Cherokee as a barometer to gauge customer interest in diesels. If you want a Jeep Wrangler diesel, then, it's in your best interest to convince all your neighbors to buy Jeep Grand Cherokee diesels, and preferably as soon as they hit dealerships.
Is This the New Diesel Jeep Wrangler Being Tested in America?
Photos Courtesy of Bruce "Honeybadger" Dorn. By now every Jeep enthusiast under the sun has begged Jeep to bring us a diesel option for the JK Wrangler- they offer great fuel economy, increased torque, and better reliability. It's not even that they don't produce a diesel Jeep- they do. It's just for the european market only. Yesterday, on our way to Detroit with Expeditions 7, we ran into two European specification diesel Wranglers being tested, could this be a sign of things to come for the US market? A sky shot perhaps? Or is it just Jeep testing a better product to ship elsewhere? From what we could tell on the highway the vehicles (a two door and a four door) were left hand drive, and featured soft upper doors, "Euro Spec Diesel" markings, as well as a CRD badge.

As many of you may know, we have been avid Jeep enthusiasts for many years, and have been in the performance diesel market for even longer… We have decided to take two of our biggest passions, and turn them into our latest project. The basics of the build will involve installing a 12 valve Cummins out of a '97 extended cab long box 2500 Dodge pick up, into a stretched 2007 4 door JK unlimited. The end result will be a full 4 door JK with a pick up box. There are many different options for a build like this and we are in the early stages of development at this time. We feel that this Jeep will be something a little different, but really cool and appeal to both our Jeep and Diesel enthusiasts.

"I've had this car for 5 years after a family friend gave it to me because I didn't have a car to get to school. The first year or so was fine but after that everything stopped working. The radio stopped working, I think the antenna broke/rusted. All of the windows came off their motors so they're all being held up by door stoppers-the passenger window won't go all the way up so I always get wet when it rains. The catalytic converter doesn't work and needs replacing. The cup holder is right in front of the ac/heater so you can't feel the air when there's cups in the holder-which is terrible design in my opinion. There is also only 6 inches of leg room for the back seats which is also terrible design. The ac/heat don't work anymore. There were some cables in the engine that weren't connected right so a year after I got the car, it would turn off when I was driving in the middle of traffic! This car has just been a complete headache for the 5 years I have owned it. I would never buy this car ever again. The only pro is that it is a small car (length/width-wise) so it is easy to park in small parking spaces and to 3-point park."

"My Sportage is the third Kia I have owned. The first being a 1988(Ford) Festiva,the second a 1998 Sephia. All three had/have excellant engines and transmissions. The overall guality of the Sportage is better than the prior two vehicles. The gas mileage of the Sportage is disapointing but something I can live with. I find the emissions system a bit touchy but something I can deal with without automatically replacing suspected components. All three are/were reliable cars it has been my pleasure to own. It has been fun watching Hyunday/Kia rise to the top of auto manufacturing.I look forward to owning my fourth Kia. Steve"

"Cost- $1850 Owened for about 1 Year Mileage 135K 2.0 Manual 5 Speed 2 Wheel Drive Repairs so far: Timing Belt, Spark Plugs and CV Joints PROS: Very comfortable and reliable vehicle. Very peppy and it is sporty looking. It can easily haul a Canoe, Kyaks, or Bicycles. CONS: Not great in snow unless you add 2 salt bags to cargo area. Spark Plugs are a hassle to change and new wires are expensive. Always use Ebay for more reasonable part costs. Also gas mileage is about 20-25 MPG. Neeeds a new timing belt about every 60k+ miles as stated by many owners, this is common among many vehicles today."

"I called this a problem car! I bought it because it is 4x4. But this car was nothing but trouble...from day one. I regret buying it. I put it on Craigslist and not a single soul was interested, even for $400, with 132,000 miles. I put an old Subaru with 265,000 miles for the same price and I got more interested souls. No more Kia."

I trust it completely. I would not part with it at all if not for the mileage. I plan on traveling a lot in my future and need something a little less miles on it. I trust her right now.

Tremendous Tirades 4.22.13: WWE Monday Night Raw
Posted by
Larry Csonka
on 04.22.2013
The Shield plays deadman's hand and wins, but they're still no match for SuperCena…
The road to WrestleMania is over, but I am back. I took the week off last week following the insane WrestleMania 29 weekend schedule. Some will be happy, some won't; but that's ok. I will be doing the review for Raw and PPVs going forward. As a reminder, this will not be another traditional recap, but instead it will be a mash up of the Rs, Instant Analysis and my usual Twitter ramblings I would do during the shows; completely uncensored and as the ideas flow unfiltered to the old keyboard. Remember, this is a review; and I am here to review the show. Don't throw that "just have fun and be a fan" junk up in here. That's for you to do.
Tonight's edition of the show comes to you live via tape from London, England.
Recap of last week's Raw.
Challenge Accepted
: Our show kicked off with Paul Heyman already in the ring. Heyman was there as the advocate for Brock Lesnar, and claimed that Triple H was not appearing tonight. After some video recaps, he then said he would read an email from Triple H. He read it, which said due to his injuries, he could not be there and that Triple H would answer the challenge next week. As Heyman took the time to mock Heyman, the music of the king of kings hit and Heyman sold it wonderfully, while Triple H arrived with a smirk that would make the Cheshire Cat jealous. Triple H accepted, and planted Heyman with the pedigree, much to the delight of the crowd. This was relatively short (for Raw opening standards), to the point and did the job effectively which was to set up a big match for the Extreme Rules PPV. We can argue all day whether or not fans want to see a third match between these guys on PPV, but hopefully this time they deliver like we all hoped they would at WrestleMania.
Rating (1-10)
: 8.0
Chris Jericho faces Dolph Ziggler tonight.
R-Truth vs. Antonio Cesaro
: You have to get R-Truth credit, the guy is booked like yo-yo constantly, but he can still get the crowd excited when he comes out. Unfortunately Cesaro came out and yodeled, further killing the character. The Cesaro losing streak continues here in a perfectly fine, but short TV match. Truth beat Barrett last week, so it makes sense to keep his momentum going here.
Rating (1-10)
: 6.0
We see a helicopter landing, and it is the Shied arriving.
Brodus Clay w/Sweet T, Cameron and Naomi vs. Damien Sandow w/His Best Friend Cody Rhodes
: Apparently this feud must continue. This was another of your average short Raw matches, and I felt that Sandow looked good. The guy in the crowd dressed in the Sandow robe must have been pleased with the performance. Sandow won the match with a roll up and holding the tights, because he's a heel. This was perfectly fine.
Rating (1-10)
: 6.0
Highlights of Dolph Ziggler cashing in and winning the world title.
Ziggler is backstage telling the world title that she is beautiful. AJ arrives and Dolph says she would look great with a title of her own, and they call Kaitlyn a hippo. Big E Langston is there, and Dolph tells him to hit the bricks because it is private time. Team Bricky arrives, and says if Ziggler loses that Jericho will be added to the Extreme Rules title match.
Highlights of last week's Raw where CM Punk walked out. Reports are that he is looking for his smile in Chicago.
The Shield cut a promo about their match against Undertaker, Bryan and Kane. They are the law, suck it Dredd.
Non-Title Match: Dolph Ziggler © w/ Big E Langston and AJ vs. Chris Jericho
: It's always nice when we get a match between two talented guys that actually gets time and this was it. Obviously both are talented, and they have good chemistry together, so if there had to be a match that got the time, I am glad this was it. Jericho fought through the shenanigans of Langston, Ziggler's cheating the fame-asser and looked to have the match won when he locked in the walls of Jericho, but then Fandango's music hit (which the crowd loved and sang along with). While Fandango did not appear, his music was enough to distract Jericho, allowing Ziggler to connect with the Zigzag and win the match. But more importantly, Ziggler kept his title bout a triple threat instead of a fatal four way. On top of that, it gets Ziggler a win, which he needs as champion, and also continues the Jericho vs. Fandango feud.
Rating (1-10)
: 8.0
Highlights from last week's Raw confrontation between Ryback and Cena, which led to the Shield beating down Cena.
Mick Foley cut a promo about Ryback, noting that Ryback refuses to look at his own shortcomings.
Sweet T w/Clay, Cameron and Naomi vs. Cody Rhodes w/His Best Friend Damien Sandow
: And apparently I was right, this feud MUST continue! This was the follow up to Clay vs. Sandow, and an instance of booking a tag team feud into singles matches, where they split the matches (result wise), hypothetically leading to another tag team match. Much like the first match, this was another of your average short Raw matches that was perfectly fine. While the crowd wasn't into this match as much as Sandow vs. Clay, the bonus of Cameron and Naomi dancing more than makes up for it.
Rating (1-10)
: 6.0
Daniel Bryan and Kane discusses the usefulness of diagrams, and the whereabouts of The Undertaker. Apparently Undertaker doesn't look at diagrams and does not carry a cell phone. This led to the Shield doing a brief but effective attack on the tag team champions.
We get highlights of the Smackdown main event, featuring Show and Henry vs. Orton and Sheamus.
Ryback comments on watching John Cena get beat down by the Shield. He says that last week was payback for all of the times Cena didn't help him when the Shield attacked. He agrees with Foley that he doesn't see shortcomings, because he sees the next WWE Champion. He teases a face to face with Foley later tonight. Ryback rules.
Big E. Langston vs. Zack Ryder
: Hey, Zack Ryder still has a job! Doing the job. This was your typical Raw squash match to highlight Langston in a singles environment. Ryder got a few hope spots, but was simply dominated by Langston. He hit the big ending for the victory. Langston looked fine here, and has looked fine thus far in the WWE ring. This again was fine, and really, pretty much what it should have been. Langston has a presence for sure, but I am curious to see what he can do as a singles performer down the line.
Rating (1-10)
: 6.0
The Shield (Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose) vs. The Brothers of Destruction 2k13 (Undertaker, Kane and Daniel Bryan)
: I really liked the tease at the beginning, that due to the earlier beat down that Kane and Bryan may not make the match. JBL also did a nice job of selling the Shield when he noted, "I'd hate to see the Undertaker go out like this… but he'll get him some before he does." The Shield got some brief heat (it could have been longer) on Taker, and then Kane and Bryan made the save. This was a damn fine match with a crowd that was into everything these guys did. By the way, Seth Rollins is giving Ziggler a run for his money as far as "best bumper in the company" these days. Seriously, between the really good match and the hot crowd, and that honestly may have been my favorite TV match this year. The finish was perfect in my opinion, as the Shield wins, pinning Bryan, to set up the rumored tag title feud. That was just a lot of fun.
Rating (1-10)
: 9.0
Foley meets with Cena about the meeting with Ryback later tonight. Cena was concerned for Foley and told him to take a chair with him.
Fandango vs. William Regal
: I liked this for many reasons. First of all, I love William Regal getting TV time. Secondly, they knew Fandango would get a good reaction from the London crowd. Thirdly, Fandango working with a guy like Regal is nothing but good for his in ring development. Finally, Chris Jericho got to get a bit of revenge on Fandango by tossing him off the stage, and added insult to injury by dancing with his lady (developmental diva Summer Rae). This was very good stuff overall, and a good use of TV time. About the only thing I didn't like was the change in Fandango's finisher, because it's generic as hell.
Rating (1-10)
: 8.0
Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio in a no DQ match will main event Smackdown this week.
Kaitlyn is on commentary.
Divas #1 Contender's Battle Royal
: So we had a five-diva battle royal featuring Tamina, AJ, Layla, Aksana and Naomi. The funniest part of this was AJ leaping into Tamina's arms, only to be tossed away and then superkicked. She then played possum until the finish and tosses Layla. It was the typical divas battle royal, not that good and the crowd didn't care at all. Which really says something because they have been into everything tonight. AJ winning is the right call, and is about all that was good about this.
Rating (1-10)
: 4.0
Mick Foley and his chair walk.
When Ryback Met Foley; John Cena Does Not Approve
: Mick Foley made his latest WWE appearance, and while I am a big fan of Foley, I have to ask why? His appearances seem so repetitive these days, he says the same thing, and I am not really sure why he is being used. Just because he is Mick Foley does not mean that we are automatically going to care more about what he has been added in to; although I think that is what WWE thinks when they throw him out there. Again, do not get me wrong, in his day I think that Foley was one of the best ever on the mic, but this did nothing for me at all. He feels so forced out there, randomly yelling to elicit an emotional reaction, but I do not feel that it worked. Hell, Ryback nailed it on his rebuttal to Foley. Regarding Ryback's promo, while I felt that they intentionally protected him last week with his backstage pre-taped promo, I think he did a fine job this week. Not spectacular, and he didn't "kill it" like some stated to me, but it was solid. Cena making the save was fine, but it would have meant more if the fans had actually been into Foley. The Shield they arrived to cause havoc, and this time Cena bailed on Ryback. But unlike Ryback, Cena did return to make the save, running off the Shield with the chair. Cena returned to the ring, and dropped the chair to face off with Ryback. When Ryback looked at the chair for a second, Cena got a measure of revenge by laying him out with the AA. Following the initial Ryback attack and last week when the Shield beat down Cena when Ryback bailed, that was a fine next step in the feud. The ending was ok, but Cena running off the Shield and taking down Ryback played too much into the things that people dislike about the character, and compared to some of the other stuff in the show, felt like a cold ending.
Rating (1-10)
: 6.0
The Tirade
Overall tonight's show was a good one. It was highlighted by some solid segments of wrestling for the under card, advancement of Jericho vs. Fandango and two good matches; Ziggler vs. Jericho and Shield vs. Brothers of Destruction 2k13. Unfortunately the ending was cold in my opinion, and it needed to deliver more than it did.
