Jenna Fischer, best known as Pam on NBC's hit TV show The Office, will head the cast of the new Neil LaBute play Reasons To Be Happy, playing Off-Broadway this coming spring. She will be joined onstage by three co-stars, Josh Hamilton, Fred Weller, and Leslie Bibb.
Produced by MCC Theater and directed by LaBute himself, Reasons To Be Happy is a follow-up to the playwright's acclaimed Broadway play reasons to be pretty, featuring the same four characters. The new work focuses on their lives three years later.
Reasons To Be Happy will play Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher Street). Previews begin May 16, with an opening on June 11. The production is scheduled to play until June 23.

@beachthunder: This is probably too late but about an hour and a half.
@beachthunder: This is probably too late but about an hour and a half.
hey giant bomb i havent watched one of your videos in months....now I see that I have to be a subscriber to click the youtube button in your video settings.
Pay a yearly / monthly fee to watch your youtube videos? Or I could just go on youtube and never come back to this site again.
Good job idiots! You will get more traffic to this site by alienating your audience!
@bunji: Huh? The clips are the only things, there is no pieces. Part of why the you can stack up a ton of ammo. Each weapon consumes a certain number of clips. For example, you'll lose two clips with each load of the Plasma Cutter. Thus, if you have three stacks of 25 clips apiece, it means very little to lose two.
Anyway, I've been replaying the other two now that I'm done with 3. I just finished one and... Yeah, not that scary. If you dedicate yourself to maxing out the Plasma Cutter early on, you're not gonna have a lot of difficulty in the first game and have enough nodes to fully upgrade the pulse rifles, which you really only need at the end missions. The jump scares just don't do it. Playing through 2 right now, I don't feel fear either.
I am enjoying it, not as good as the last 2 but it's still fun
Throughout this video Brad used 8 words from my AP English vocab list from school... Way to have a refined vocabulary, Shoemaker
@galloughs: That's your opinion. The first game was a classic, even by review scores, and the second was pretty darn good as well. I like the third, but I understand how some people have issues with it.
It sucks this game wasn't saved till the next gen. I may have been interested, as I've only played DS2 once with plenty of play still to be had!
Man, been playing the first Dead Space on PC and it controls like ass. Even with the Vsync turned off the mouse control is still so damn floaty.
It is the Dead Space I want for $19.99, with no online pass, sometime in June.
Obligatory "it's the Dead Space gamers deserve, but not the one we need right now" in response to the video header XD
But seriously, it's a game that takes as many steps forward as it does back, ultimately delivering an experience overall I felt on par with previous games but doesn't really surpass them either. It is certainly worth at least a rental by any Dead Space fans.
Note: Just a little correction, you can wear any suit down on the planet once you reach a certain point and get the arctic suits. My friend and I switched suits often and never ran into the freezing problem after that point.
If Dead Space 3 got 3 stars i wonder what Aliens: CM will get...
The new font makes it look like "Dead Space 8" in the wiki blurb sidebar.
I hate the new site design! I have to scroll horizontally on my 800 x 600 monitor!
Just kidding!
Site looks awesome guys!
Loving the new video player! :)
After watching this quick look, my heart was filled with Dead Space.
Third time is the charm, maybe?
dead space 3... road to shitville
Dead Space 3 is following Resident Evil to shitville...
This is a good game. It's worth checking out, duders.

@tanookigt: Guess I should have just called it an extreme temperature instead of cold. Insulation is still insulation and an airtight suit ought be able to keep one specific temperature inside of it regardless if it's extremely warm or extremely cold outside then. With the way the temperature of objects (objects, not the space itself) swing in space depending on if you're exposed to sunlight or not you'd probably go way below the temperatures of the ice planet in the game sometime. You even see people walk around down there with helmets off so it can't be that bad.Edit: Maybe this isn't about temperature even. Just something that could handle moisture and ice building up on the outside of the suit.
A suit designed for space walking would have to radiate heat as much as possible, to keep the wearer from being cooked alive inside. It'd probably even be outfitted with a cooling system. This is because there's no effective way for the suit to rid itself of heat in a vacuum. The body heat emitted from the person inside would just keep building up until they died.
On the ice planet, the suit would need to be the opposite. It'd need insulation to keep as much heat as possible.

Some special ice planet cold resistant suits but they're all space cold resistant suits... What?
Protip: It's not cold in outer space. You've been conditioned to think it is by science fiction television shows and movies and comic books and even video games. However, there is no temperature in a vacuum. There's no heat exchange, so a hot object will stay hot for a very long time. Isaac, floating out in space, would get hotter and hotter until he cooked inside his suit, because his body heat would have nowhere to go.
I do really want to play this game as I loved the other 2 (the first is probably one of my favorite games ever) but, man, just not right now and definitely not for 60 bucks. They mucked it up too much.
A Dead Space Movie should have Wallace Langham star as Isaac Clarke.
That is all.
I give up with fans and the gaming press. Here you have a good game and a good series getting ripped apart. Why?
Yes, EA wants to make money who doesn't. You can ignore the DLC and micro transaction. Maybe the game is not as scary as before, but tell me where can I find a sci-fi survival horror game. Even if it is not perfect at least it's there and if you don't like it don't buy.
So big business ruined a game series i didn't care about already? SOUNDS LIKE VIDEO GAMES!
This Quick Look was over halfway finished (@ 26:17) before any real enemies appeared on the screen. I'm not sure whether that says more about the game or the way that Brad structured this Quick Look.
I was on the edge about this game, but the microtransaction stuff put me over to the not buying ever category.
That stuff is disgusting.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight...
What's with the Mass Effect-ish armor or shoulder pad?
oh. EA.
@okand said:

Its a dry cold.
A note about ammo clips being entirely spent when reloading.
That it not the case for the PC version. You can shoot from a full clip just one, reload and only have lost 1 piece of ammo.
Will be missed by all it's inhabitants
Game developers please stop making menus that slowly move back and forth. It makes me terribly motion sick. :(
edit---- wait wait wait hold on. Am I to understand that any suit can be used in space but only certain "cold resistant" suits can be used on the ice planet? That doesn't make any sense.
edit 2----- ugh... God damnit EA you are a publisher not a development company. Stop ruining good series with your focus testing and your micromanagement of mediocrity.
edit 3-----
In my opinion:
Dead Space 1 = action horror game
Dead Space 2 = pure action game that takes some small inspiration from horror genre.
Dead Space - Alien Dead Space 2 - Aliens Dead Space 3 - Alien 3 Ok got it.

@Branthog: The PC port is actually really good, it's just not at the level of other superports such as Sleeping Dogs. PC Dead Space 3 actually has more options than the previous DS games, including SSAO and different anti-aliasing modes. The v-sync actually works as well. However it has the same textures as PS3/360 versions.
Exactly. It has the same textures as the PS3/360 versions. That is fucking lazy, because they obviously have high resolution textures as original assets. I'm extremely put off when someone tells me that the textures for my rig with three 4GB 670s and a 2560x1600 native resolution have to be the same as my eight year old console that will run at 1080 (or probably upscaled 720).
The only thing that could be more of a put off would be "oh, and you can't use WASD+M".
I hate to burst your bubble, but the PC versions of Dead Space 1 and 2 have borked mouse control, to the point where it's a much better idea to use a controller. It feels loose, like you stop aiming a half a second after you stop moving the mouse, and whenever you hold the aim button, it slows way down like it would if you were playing on an analog stick. Note that this is coming from someone who does not mind 720p textures on a 1080p monitor, and doesn't mind a lack of graphics options, but the mouse and keyboard controls on the PC versions of the first two games are better than Dark Souls and nothing else.
That said, I'd still play this on PC. Aside from control issues (easily solved with a controller for me) and VSYNC issues (also easily solved), the first two games look and run great on the PC, and this one is probably no different. My issues with this game really lie with the whole notion of microtransactions in a single player game. Even beyond that, something about this game just plain reeks of corporate meddling, and I didn't get that feeling from the first two games.
dead space 3 and dino crisis 3 has space problems,,or may i say,,Believe in the space;)
Brad mentions how he loves the combat for it's strategic dismemberment, yet he spends the entire quick look using a shotgun/rocket launcher combo and shooting enemies in the chest.
Man, I've been playing this on PC, and some of the textures are just horrible; I don't remember DS2 looking this bad, but it's really distracting.
Brad's right for sure, the early game seems to be the best as far as pacing and tension go. I'm about 8 hours, and it really starts to drag once you get to the planet. Such a shame.
Wow, that scope was indeed terrible.
@Colourful_Hippie said:
@Branthog: That's a good point. One can easily pass on buying any of that shit but it's not like you can ignore that fucking DLC button which can break immersion. It's fucking disgusting.
@amir90: You're right.
That's weird, wouldn't one expect such a feature (ammo) to be in the first game?
I personally prefer games that do this, then not. Stops me from reloading every 5 seconds.
@Branthog: That's a good point. One can easily pass on buying any of that shit but it's not like you can ignore that fucking DLC button which can break immersion. It's fucking disgusting.
@amir90: You're right.
A lot of crafting, might be fun:P
The ammo thing, was it like that on the 1st and 2nd game? I cannot remember if it was or not, I am inclined to say it wasn't.
Edit: I felt the quick look didn't show as much I wish they did, I am totally up for more dead space, but a bit too much crafting maybe? idk.
Some special ice planet cold resistant suits but they're all space cold resistant suits... What?
I got the pc version for $40 but I already regret my purchase.
The brazen shit-service to the PC port has taken this from a "pre-order" title for me to a "buy it when it's $10 on Steam or $20 on console" title. I probably was going to buy it and play it on console, because that's where I have the first two games in the series -- but even if I did that and the PC version therefore didn't impact me, I wouldn't buy it at launch or for anywhere near full price out of principal.
I was a big fan of the first two but this looks like it could be another EA theme park (Mass Effect 3). I'll have to vent. Why does EA insist on making a game more broadly appealing? Broadly appealing does not mean better, they just want to satisfy the moronic masses in the hope it makes more money! Out of spite, I hope this one is not as successful as the previous. I'd love to know what EA focus groups talk about, I bet none of them even play games.
@sear said:
First Dead Space was a decent game, second one was basically crap.
Haha yah crap hah yah..
You know this game has become a betrayal of what the series once stood for, if I'm interested in it somewhat and my brother is not.
The dialog and characters were already shit in the second game. I think he just glazed over it because he liked everything else.

Attempts by courts and officials in several countries to remove the clips have revived the debate over freedom of expression.
The judge in the Brazilian case acknowledged that banning content from sites like YouTube is a thorny issue, according to excerpts of the ruling cited in the National Union of Islamic Entities' statement.
"This type of jurisprudence cannot be confused with censorship," Miranda is quoted as writing. In the excerpts, the judge defines censorship as "the undue restriction of the civic consciousness."
YouTube routinely blocks video in specific countries if it violates laws there. It also removes video deemed to infringe copyrights, show pornography, contain hate speech or violate other guidelines. However, none of those restrictions had been applied in Brazil to the "Innocence of Muslims."
Google is now selectively blocking the video clips in countries that include Libya and Egypt. Google has said it made the decision to block the video in such places due to "the sensitive situations" there.
Galperin of the Electronic Frontier Foundation questioned whether a ban was really necessary in Brazil, which has seen no protests or rioting that have swept the Muslim world in recent weeks.
"The notion that there's a need to take it down to prevent violence is ludicrous," she said.
Miranda's ruling came on the same day that Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff addressed the United Nations and urged an end to prejudice against Muslims.
Google has said it has been so inundated by requests from governments worldwide to remove online content that it has begun releasing a summary of the demands, most relating to legitimate attempts to enforce laws on issues ranging from personal privacy to hate speech.
But Google, which has been locked in a high-profile battle with China's leaders over online censorship in the communist nation since 2010, says it increasingly fields requests from government agencies trying to use their power to suppress political opinions and other material they don't like.
Brazilian government agencies alone submitted a total of 194 content-removal requests during the final half of last year, according to a summary released by Google in June. Running just behind that was the United States, where police, prosecutors, courts and other government agencies submitted 187 requests to remove content over the same period.
Brazil and other parts of Latin America are crucial to Google's growth strategy. Company executives have said that Latin America is the country's fastest-growing market.

Carhenge is a replica of England's Stonehenge located near the city of Alliance, Nebraska on the High Plains. Instead of being built with large standing stones, as is the case with the original Stonehenge,[1] Carhenge is formed from 38 vintage American automobiles.

This is the insane home-based workstation that GIF creator extraordinaire Tim Burke, a former professor of communications and speech who lectured on media theory and now Deadspin.com contributor, works from and where he quickly pumps out GIFs of noteworthy highlights (or lowlights) from various games. He spends approximately 100 hours a week here and monitors dozens of games simultaneously. He is able to view and record from 28 sources at once thanks to his 10 monitors which are then split into eight or more mini-screens.
In the understatement of the year Burke explained, "I am not able to do many other things."
His wife's response to all this: "I've done a lot of personal growth this past year."

"We will see who is the real king" mentioned Kaiba when the final battle begins (between Yugi and the Pharao). And it's a good question. Yugi is known like the King of the game but isn't it Pharao who duels most of the time and wins?
there are 3 answers:
1) Yugi
2) Pharao
3) both, together they are indestructible
i think is 3) each of them is a strong duelist, seen like a challenge by much opponents but when they join together, you create an indestructible duelist.

Who We Are
The Organismal Biology and Ecology (OBE) Department studies the structure and function of organisms in answering questions about ecology and evolution. OBE encompasses cross-disciplinary approaches such as physiological ecology, evolutionary ecology, systematics, and biogeography, which all provide complementary insights into the processes of evolutionary diversification and adaptation to life on earth.
Our research foci include botany, animal and plant ecology, comparative physiology, conservation biology, and molecular ecology. We strive to perform cutting-edge research and include students in these opportunities.
OBE on The Block Plan
The focused three and a half week course style of the block plan enables our OBE faculty to design field/lab classes and research opportunities that are not possible in traditional school settings.
Field courses: Our exceptional location is adjacent to rich and diverse ecosystems situated at the northern, southern, eastern and western limits of ranges for many species of plants and animals. In an east-west direction, the elevation changes from roughly 6,000 to over 14,000 feet on top of Pikes Peak, resulting in a mosaic of ecosystems ranging from plains to forests to tundra.
Research opportunities: Our faculty have active and diverse ongoing research and can also help students develop their own project, e.g. students can receive credit for as many as two mentored research blocks with a professor. We encourage and financially support collaborative student-faculty research projects. These opportunities provide excellent experience for students interested in graduate school or those planning on becoming part of a research team upon graduation.

I had a little self-taught experience with Adwords & Analytics and felt as if my mind had been unlocked to a whole new world of analyzing, testing and most importantly reacting to my visitor's and customer's desires. The money spent on the training as already paid for itself ten times over. We have become more efficient with our spending and the Cardinal Path Training is the main reason.PJ Calkins, Chicago attendee, AdWords 201
The training in St. Louis was great as were all three of your instructors by the way… I have already highly recommended you to numerous friends/associates and will continue to do so.Frank Priboy, Saint Louis attendee, Analytics 301
I attended AdWords Training by Cardinal Path in Chicago last year and now again this year. Since implementing the changes I learned while at the seminar my company has had an increase in Revenue of 13% year over date. This at the time when I just recently received an email from my peer group in my industry that business was now down an average 10%. I see me continuing attending Cardinal Path training on a yearly basis as a must. Thank you Cardinal Path, I now see you as one of my strategic partners.John, Chicago attendee, AdWords 101

About Psoriasis
According to the National Institutes of Health as many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis, a non-contagious, lifelong skin disease. The most common form, plaque psoriasis, appears as raised, red patches or lesions covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells, called scale. Psoriasis varies from person to person, both in severity and how it responds to treatment. Psoriasis is now recognized to be a disease that can be modified by drugs that inhibit TNF-alpha signaling. Current treatment for severe psoriasis includes biologic drugs that are costly, potentially toxic, and require intravenous administration. In addition, steroids often work for patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis, yet they carry side effects and are generally not recommended for long-term use.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) celebrated the completion of reconstruction of the 33rd and Dauphin Bus Loop.
The 33rd and Dauphin Bus Loop Improvement Project, a $4 million initiative funded by a competitive grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), resulted in a full makeover of the facility, which is a key part of SEPTA's city bus operations.
The loop has significant historic value to the community, and the reconstruction has kept this legacy in-tact. The new loop incorporates original brick and masonry that has been recycled, the cherubs that have long marked the facade, and repaired and repainted decorative cornice trim — features that have made this loop unique and a neighborhood cornerstone.
"This facility has long been a landmark for SEPTA and the community," said SEPTA GM Joseph M. Casey. "SEPTA is proud of the loop's transformation into a state-of-the-art transit hub that can serve as a centerpiece for neighborhood revitalization, while also providing customers with the modern amenities they deserve."
The reconstruction project was completed in just 12 months — several months ahead of schedule. It also came in under budget, and SEPTA has received permission from the FTA to use the remaining grant funds to renovate two additional bus loops. Those projects, at 23rd and Venango Streets and 35th Street and Allegheny Avenue, will begin next year.
The new 33rd and Dauphin facility has a number of stand-out features, including a "green roof" that utilizes plant modules and other materials. In addition to improving sustainability and helping create a more livable urban environment, the green roof reduces storm-water run-off, which helps prevent water from collecting at and around the loop. A new underground storm-water management system also enhances drainage.
The project has also made the facility fully accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), with improvements such as raised boarding areas and new curb cuts.
In addition, the reconstruction included safety enhancements for customers, pedestrians and motorists who use the roads surrounding the loop, such as the redesign of bus lanes to optimize traffic flow, and a new curbside bus berthing area. The new bus shed also utilizes three lanes, instead of four that were in place previously. This allowed for wider lanes to accommodate buses and enhance boarding access for customers.
Other amenities for customers include a new bus canopy, passenger shelters, benches, enhanced lighting, trash cans and signs. Bike racks have also been installed, as have new plumbing, heating and ventilation systems. The main building also includes space for a retail tenant.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.

IRS Cracks Down on Tax Preparers
TheStreet) -- The Internal Revenue Service kicked off the 2010 tax-filing season with a stern warning for professional tax preparers and a promise of new registration, testing and education requirements. As part of a crackdown, undercover sting operations in which IRS agents, posing as customers, will hit the streets to weed out unscrupulous preparers.According to IRS estimates, more than 80% of American households use a professional preparer or software program to file taxes. Due to a lack of registration and inconsistent reporting, the number of tax-return preparers is unknown, but the IRS estimates there are as many as 1.2 million individuals who prepare tax returns for a fee, including certified public accountants and lawyers, both of whom are exempt from the new regulations. Each year, hundreds of criminal investigations are initiated against preparers by revenue agents and the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2009, 124 people were sentenced to an average jail time of 18 months. IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman on Monday described current and future efforts as a "monumental shift in the way the IRS will oversee tax preparers." Currently, anyone can prepare a federal tax return and charge a fee. While some preparers are licensed by their states, many don't have to meet government or professionally mandated competency requirements before preparing a federal tax return for a fee. The IRS will require: registering and obtaining a tax-identification number; passing competency tests, except for attorneys and certified public accountants; and continuing education. The agency will be able to suspend or discipline tax preparers who engage in unethical or disreputable conduct.BOSTON (

Fame Calls Back, and a Programmer Gets a Gig
By BEN SISARIO
Published: December 2, 1998
For Terry Callier, the long road back to playing a gig in New York began with a mysterious phone call from London eight years ago. A record producer told him excitedly that a song he had recorded in 1982 was a hit in London clubs, and he was eager to reissue it. It was Mr. Callier's first inkling of a reborn career that now includes a new album, a song of his remade by a best-selling vocal group and his first New York performance in 25 years.
Mr. Callier is to appear tonight at the club Shine in lower Manhattan. The last time he appeared in New York, in 1973, he was a local phenomenon in his hometown, Chicago, while critics were praising his poetic, innovative amalgam of folky guitar, soul fervor and jazzy improvisation. But his music eluded radio formats and marketing categories, and within a decade he quit music entirely and devoted himself to his family and his job as a computer programmer.
By 1990 when Eddie Piller of the Acid Jazz label called him for permission to reissue ''I Don't Want to See Myself (Without You),'' Mr. Callier's music had been rediscovered by a new generation of fans in England. His records were fast becoming collectors' items, and British dance producers were sampling his old songs. More calls came, and eventually he was invited to perform abroad. Slipping away from his job on weekends and vacations, Mr. Callier played occasional gigs in England that were attended by hundreds and even thousands of admirers.
''It was incredible,'' he said. ''It was like a dream. A couple of times I had to stop the show because it was just too over the top emotionally for me to continue. People knew all the words to my songs.'' After each concert, Mr. Callier headed back to Chicago, where he is still a programmer at the National Opinion Resource Center, an affiliate of the University of Chicago that processes social science survey data for the Government, universities and other institutions.
One of his biggest fans is Beth Orton, a rising young British singer, who saw him perform at the Jazz Cafe in London. ''There was a real feeling of community at those concerts,'' she said. ''You were surrounded by hundreds of others who loved Terry's music, and it was like you were members of a secret society.''
Ms. Orton introduced herself backstage, and eventually Mr. Callier joined her to record two songs for a single, one by Mr. Callier and the other by one of his main influences, Fred Neil; they also recorded an original by Ms. Orton, and it will appear on her next album.
Mr. Callier's renaissance continued with his first new album in 19 years, ''TimePeace,'' released by Verve in February, and tonight, Mr. Callier will perform at Shine, 285 West Broadway, at Canal Street.
It is the latest turn in a career that has peaked several times, most notably in the mid-70's when he made a string of innovative albums that ignored stylistic boundaries. Critics have struggled to define his style, calling it folk-jazz, soul-folk and even folk-soul-jazz.
But Mr. Callier, now 53, says he does not believe in such labels. His music, he says, is simply a personal statement. ''What I've always done is try to write songs that speak about the relationship between one person and another, and between one person and a group of people, maybe society or family, and the relationship between a person and the Creator. Because that's all there is.''
He began his musical career in a rush, cutting his first single before he was out of high school and his first album two years later. At 19, he was transforming folk standards into evocative jazz, and he was fusing influences that had surrounded him since childhood.
He was moved by folk music and the warmth of Fred Neil's baritone, but the greatest influence on his life and music was seeing John Coltrane and his quartet perform in 1964. He said he was so shocked by the experience that it took him nearly a year before he could play in public again.
''I thought I was pretty into what I was doing, but they showed me what 'into it' was all about,'' he said. ''I knew that if I didn't have some of that intensity, some of that commitment, some of that dignity in my own presentation, I might as well find something else to do for a living.''
When he reappeared, he sang sweet soul songs tinged with jazz, accompanied by a folky acoustic guitar. ''In a world of aggression and attitude, Terry is a very gentle person,'' said Samuel Charters, who produced Mr. Callier's first solo album in 1964. ''His music is out of step.''
In the early 1970's Mr. Callier hooked up with a childhood friend, Jerry Butler, who sang with Curtis Mayfield in the Impressions and was a successful solo artist. Mr. Callier became a salaried songwriter for Mr. Butler's Chicago Songwriters' Workshop. There he began to experiment with pop forms and orchestration, aided by Charles Stepney, a producer who later worked with Earth, Wind and Fire; Chaka Khan, and others and had arranged Mr. Callier's first single, ''Look at Me Now,'' in 1962.
Mr. Callier and Mr. Stepney ''were just two talented men working together,'' said Mr. Butler, who entered politics and is now a Cook County Supervisor. ''They had empathy for each other's talent and feel for each other's music.''
