"Littering and? Littering and? Littering and?"
In 2002, the boys at Broken Lizard realized that America had been missing something we couldn't live without anymore. This was before RENO 911, remember, and in those dark days of the early millennium, it had been more than seven years since the final POLICE ACADEMY movie.
People were starting to forget that law enforcement in this country is run by a bunch of lovable schlubs who like to prank each other, steal drugs from the stash they confiscated, and totally hook up with each other in all sorts of awesome places (like the back of a police car).
But then we got to see a car full of stoners on their way to Canada pulled over when they were already pulled over and couldn't pull over any further, and we knew the world would be safe for cop comedy once again. With this SUPER TROOPERS Quote-Along, of course, we're hoping to make it dangerous...

CANTON Village police are searching for an ATM and at least two intruders who wrenched it from the floor outside the Brewer Bookstore, 92 Park St., at St. Lawrence University last weekend.
One person is not going to be able to pick it up like a suitcase full of clothes, interim police Chief Victor N. Rycroft said. The North Country Savings Bank automated teller machine weighs more than 265 pounds.
Records show the machine, which was in a vestibule with 24-hour access, was last used at 9:41 p.m. Friday, the chief said.
After that, its open-ended, he said.
The machines absence was not reported to police until 2:45 p.m. Saturday. Employees noticed the ATM was missing when they opened the store Saturday morning, but initially believed it had been removed for maintenance, police said.
Investigators and bank officials declined to say how much cash was in the machine, as the bank had not completed a full accounting following the robbery. The ATM had been reloaded with money on Wednesday, police said. David C. Swanson, bank president and CEO, declined to say how much cash such a machine typically would hold.
Police and college security staff are reviewing surveillance footage, but had yet to pinpoint any suspects as of Monday, Mr. Rycroft said.
Whenever it took place, the theft would have been laborious, with thieves ripping the hefty, 52-inch-high ATM from its moorings and carrying the machine through a well-lit area toward the parking lot on the south side of the building.
Investigators ask anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity to contact them, though police acknowledged the robbery could have gone unnoticed amid crowds departing a hockey game Friday.
University spokeswoman Macreena A. Doyle said the game started at 7, and should have ended by about 9:30.
SLU had four security workers on duty that night, Ms. Doyle said, and they typically patrol the area around the bookstore entrance.
Anyone with information is asked to call Canton police at 386-4561.
This is a first for us, Mr. Swanson said of the theft.
The bank has maintained an ATM at that location for at least a decade, he said. It is one of about 10 machines the bank operates around St. Lawrence County.
When asked whether the bank would seek added security for the ATM at the bookstore, Mr. Swanson said, I think thats yet to be decided. He said the matter would be discussed with the university.
The college also is considering its security procedures.
Were evaluating right now and will make a determination what, if anything, to change in the future, Ms. Doyle said.

He's talking about Cartlandia, his grandly named new food-cart pod that sits at the junction of Southeast 82nd Avenue and the Springwater Corridor bike trail. Yes, another pod. But this one brings a much-needed sense of community along with deep-fried turkey sandwiches to a gritty thoroughfare often associated with used-car lots and big-box stores (OK, and amazing Asian food).
Pod developer Goldingay, who also owns the North Portland food-cart pod Mississippi Marketplace, rehabbed the site—installing utilities and hauling away razor wire from the former used-car lot to create a space for a dozen food carts (there's room for 30) outer-Southeast's cart-starved neighbors as well as the cyclists who ride along the trail.
Wooing the cycling community was a major goal. There's even a bike repair trailer dubbed "The Bike Rack" on-site. Plus actual indoor restrooms, free Wi-Fi and grub served mostly by first-time cart owners so excited and eager to please they'll bring your food out to you in the covered seating area by the big-screen TV.
A good steak-and-cheese sandwich can easily build a cult following. And with its religious-themed menu of hefty sandwiches, Cheesesteak Nirvana is poised to build a core of true believers. The cart nestles meaty, flavorful sirloin in buns shipped from Philadelphia-based bakery Amoroso's. The bread is soft, but can still stand up to a half pound of meat. The Fundamentalist ($5.50 regular/$8.50 for a double meat and cheese ultimate) is a basic but truly great cheesesteak topped with caramelized onions and choice of cheddar, provolone, Cheez Whiz or cream cheese. The Puritan ($5.50/$8.50) is a veggie option featuring sliced portobellos instead of meat. This is not your usual drippy, oily mess of a sandwich. Hover around the cart long enough and you may encounter attempts at conversion from other members, er, customers. "Their food is amazing," says the guy in front of me with a happy, dazed expression. He was on his second cheesesteak.
Eat this: Go for the Unitarian ($5.50/$8.50) and pick whatever toppings work for your belief system.
Yes, the hand pie is the current darling in the portable-foods scene. But the British pasty has been around for a long time for good reason. Wrapping just about anything in pie crust makes it better. And Jane Hayes of London Pasty Co. knows it. She doesn't get gimmicky with the fillings at her little red-and-blue cart; sticking to traditional combos like seasoned round steak with potato, carrot, onion and corn. The crust is tender yet sturdy enough so you can pick up the pasty without it crumbling to bits. And for the vegetarian pasty, imagine the best mashed potatoes you've ever eaten spiked with cheese and onions. For a quick bite at Cartlandia, this is your best bet.
Eat this: The potato and cheese pasty ($6) is the ultimate in rainy-day comfort food.
The aromas drifting through the curtains of Blues City Greens let you know you're in for some satisfying Southern food. You won't go wrong by ordering anything with the organic collard greens, which are smoky, slippery and rich; or the unbelievably creamy Tillamook cheddar cheese grits. Plus, most plates come with a crunchy little corn cake called a corn dodger (nearly the entire menu is wheat-free, glutenphobes). And dishes change with the seasons. The portions aren't as huge as you'd expect at a Southern home-cooking joint, but that's probably a good thing. For a perfect afternoon snack, get any side (greens, black-eyed peas, slaw or watermelon salad) and a corn dodger for only $3. Unfortunately, the sweet tea ($2), while herbal and delicious, wasn't strong or dark—or all that sweet.
Eat this: The Howlin' Wolf ($8)—shrimp simmered in a tomato, bacon, garlic broth over creamy grits. Served with collard greens and a corn dodger on the side.
Just when you thought you had turkey figured out, someone comes along and adds provolone and cranberry sauce, wraps it in dough and then deep-fries it. That someone is Etienne Saucier who, even in his chef scrubs, is a dead ringer for dreamy American Idol contestant Casey James. Saucier's cart Blt—Breakfast, Lunch Today—specializes in fried sandwiches. (It does offer non-fried sandwiches, too, including a muffuletta, $6.50, and croque monsieur, $6). That New Orleans twist carries over into other items like fried shrimp pie ($4) and beignets ($3). Do not leave without trying the seasoned cart-made tater tots ($2.50), which my lunchmate declared to be "little packets of deep-fried joy."
Eat this: Those tots and the insanely good Monte Cristo ($8)—turkey, ham, mayo and mustard in sweet beignet dough dusted with powdered sugar. You will giggle like a 12-year-old girl when Saucier brings it to your table.
Cascade Burger is a true Portland cart. In other words, expect really good food and a little bit of weird. Here's the good: The meat is high quality, well-seasoned and cooked with plenty of pink left. And the cart-made veggie burger blew my mind. Cascade also plays with inventive toppings, often concocted on owner Aram Ansell's whim—one of my sliders came drizzled in spicy Asian dipping sauce (it somehow worked amazingly well). Here's the weird: no to-go boxes. My husband ended up driving home with five burgers in open containers sliding around inside his car. Also, the order took a while and the owner seemed somewhat flustered even though he wasn't waiting on anyone else. But clearly Ansell is passionate about his craft. So, yeah, Cascade Burger's got some quirks, but if you're patient you'll get a damn good burger.
Eat this: Just go with the flow and order the trio of sliders ($6).
Eat this: Shave ice with tiger's blood (strawberry and coconut) and wedding cake flavors.
Rock House Grill is not for the indecisive. With more than 50 choices, including breakfast available all day, this busy cart is like a diner on wheels. It's got the basic sandwiches such as a club and BLT as well as more overwhelming creations like the Triple D Terminator, an artery-busting combination of ham, salami, pepperoni, bacon and three cheeses. The steak burgers are enormous, messy affairs that will keep you coming back for more. When given the choice, opt for the onion bun and grilled onions, which are cooked to greasy perfection. Owner Jimmy Knight is unfailingly good-natured, even if you pay mostly in quarters as I did.
Eat this: The single steakburger with cheese ($6) is the size of your head, but much tastier.
EAT: Cartlandia, 8145 SE 82nd Ave., 358-7873. Info at cartlandia.com and on Facebook. Cart hours vary, so check Facebook before you visit. Cash only. ATM on site.

Charity and competition were one and the same at the Fourth Annual Moving Mountains Celebrity Paintball Tournament.
The Monday, June 3 event raised money for Moving Mountains, a charity founded by Brooklyn native Jamie Hector, star of television shows including "The Wire" and "Heroes."
The non-profit organization, which launched in 2008, aims to help inner-city children find their artistic voice through film or stage acting.
"The aim of the organization is to show children that, with faith, you can move any mountain," Hector said. "Moving Mountains teaches youth to build on their skills, talents and abilities with character. Ultimately, we want to help them find success in acting so they can return and give back to their communities."
So why paintball?
"We really wanted to do something fun," he said. "Fundraisers are often suit and tie events, but this is the fourth year we have been doing a paintball tournament and it's just plain fun."
The tournament was held at Indoor Extreme Sports in Long Island City. Along with a 10,000-square-foot paintball course, it offers laser tag and archery tag.
The facility is run by Peter and Michele Formoselle, who recently added a simulated zombie survival scenario on Friday nights to their list of services.
"All the proceeds from the tournament go towards Moving Mountains," said Peter Formoselle. "We don't advertise it, but the tournament still draws about 20 teams with more than 100 participants."
Along with Hector, celebrities at the event included "Wire" castmates Felicia Pearson, Isiah Whitlock Jr. and J.D. Williams, among other actors.
Moving Mountains will host its third annual Honors Benefit on June 11 at the Hasted Kraeutler Gallery in Manhattan. This year, honorees include Harlem Children's Zone president and CEO Geoffrey Canada and Hall of Fame football player Curtis Martin along with musician and actor Bryan Greenberg.

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Managing Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Cancer Treatment, with Gary Lyman, MD, adapted from this content.
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) developed evidence-based recommendations on the use of antiemetics (drugs that prevent vomiting). These guidelines were updated in 2011 because the latest research showed better prevention of vomiting with new combinations of medications and some additional medications became available. This guide for patients receiving any type of chemotherapy or radiation therapy is based on these updated ASCO recommendations.
Key Messages
- The risk of nausea and vomiting depends on the specific chemotherapy and the type and location of radiation therapy you receive.
- With appropriate medications, vomiting can be prevented in most patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Emesis (vomiting or throwing up) is the act of expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Nausea is the urge to vomit. Radiation therapy (the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to kill cancer cells) and some types of chemotherapy (the use of drugs to kill cancer cells) cause nausea and vomiting, although not all patients who receive these treatments will have these side effects. Patients who often have motion sickness or have vomited after previous chemotherapy treatment are more likely to experience nausea and vomiting.
The best way to manage nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment is to prevent it. Fortunately, many medications are available that can prevent vomiting. These medications may also prevent nausea, but some patients may still have nausea even if they do not have vomiting. More research is needed to understand if these drugs prevent nausea.
Anticipatory emesis is vomiting that occurs before treatment in patients who have previously felt nauseous or vomited after chemotherapy. The prevention and treatment of anticipatory vomiting depends on the patient. Tell your doctor if you have experienced vomiting with previous chemotherapy treatment. Your doctor may be able to recommend medication or behavioral therapy to help reduce vomiting.
Recommendations for Preventing Vomiting Caused by Chemotherapy
Some chemotherapy is more likely to cause nausea and vomiting than other chemotherapy. The table (Table 1) below lists the likelihood that a certain intravenous (IV; given in a vein) chemotherapy will cause nausea and vomiting.

Likelihood of Chemotherapy to Cause Nausea and Vomiting
Nearly Always Causes Nausea and Vomiting (High Risk)
Usually Causes Nausea and Vomiting (Moderate Risk)
Sometimes Causes Nausea and Vomiting (Low Risk)
Rarely Causes Nausea and Vomiting (Minimal Risk)
|Recommended Treatment
A three-drug combination of the following:
1. Aprepitant (Emend) on days 1 through 3 or fosaprepitant (Emend for Injection) on day 1
2. Dolasetron (Anzemet; oral [by mouth] form only), granisetron (Kytril, Sancuso), ondansetron (Zofran), palonosetron (Aloxi), tropisetron (Navoban), or ramosetron (Nasea)
3. Dexamethasone (multiple brand names) on days 1 through 3 or days 1 through 4
A two-drug combination of the following:
1. Palonosetron (this is the preferred treatment, but granisetron or ondansetron may also be used)
2. Dexamethasone on days 1 through 3
|No treatment required unless the patient has previously experienced vomiting with this treatment.
Recommendations for Preventing Vomiting Caused by Radiation Therapy
The risk that radiation therapy will cause nausea and vomiting depends on where the radiation therapy is targeted and how much of the body is receiving treatment. The risks and recommended treatments of vomiting caused by radiation therapy are summarized in Table 3.
Risk of Nausea and Vomiting From Radiation
Area of the Body Being Treated
Recommended Treatment
|Total body irradiation (entire body) or total nodal (lymph node) irradiation
|One of these drugs: granisetron or ondansetron (preferred) or dolasetron, tropisetron, or palonosetron before each dose and after the last, with dexamethasone before treatments 1 through 5
|Upper abdomen (trunk or stomach), upper body, or half of the body
|One of these drugs: granisetron or ondansetron (preferred) or dolasetron, tropisetron, or palonosetron before each treatment with dexamethasone before treatments 1 through 5
Lower thorax (chest)
Head and neck
|One of these drugs: granisetron or ondansetron (preferred) or dolasetron, tropisetron, or palonosetron as needed
|Arms and legs
|One of these drugs: granisetron or ondansetron (preferred) or dolasetron, tropisetron, or palonosetron and metoclopramide (Reglan) or prochlorperazine (Compazine) as needed
What This Means for Patients
Vomiting can be prevented with the appropriate medications for most patients undergoing cancer treatment. However, patients may still have nausea without vomiting. These medications should be taken as prescribed before treatment and continued after treatment as directed by your doctor because the risk of vomiting may continue for several days after treatment.
If you have nausea and vomiting, even if you take your medication as prescribed, let your doctor know. Your doctor can recommend other medications to reduce nausea and vomiting and help prevent these symptoms during future cycles of chemotherapy. It is very important to call or see your doctor if you cannot keep food or water in your body because of severe nausea and vomiting. This can cause serious dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It is also important to talk to your doctor if your symptoms worsen throughout treatment.
Questions to Ask the Doctor
It is important to prevent vomiting before it occurs. Consider asking the following questions of your doctor:
- Does my treatment carry a high risk of nausea and vomiting?
- What can be done to manage nausea?
- What can be done to prevent vomiting?
- Are some medications preferred over others? Why?
- What are the instructions for taking these medications?
- Do these medications have side effects that I should know about?
- What are the costs of these medications?
- If I'm worried about managing the costs related to my cancer care, who can help me with these concerns?
- Where can I find more information?

Internal Verizon memos reveal that the wireless ogre is eager to reprimand or fire customer service representatives who proactively recommend blocking access to the company's overpriced data services. The company is also going to be stingier about issuing back credits to customers who spot unnecessary and unwanted services littering their monthly bills.

Catherine Morgan Robinson
Catherine Morgan Robinson, of Centerville, passed away peacefully on Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 after a valiant struggle with cancer. She was born May 19, 1934 in her Grandmother's home in Price to George Clarkson and Cora Pace Morgan.
Catherine enjoyed a happy childhood growing up in Price with extended family and cherished friends. Most notably was Geb (Gerald O.) Robinson, whose birth occurred just hours after her own, and who eventually became the sweetheart of her youth and her eternal companion.
While at Carbon High School Catherine enjoyed participating in activities and serving students. She graduated from Carbon College and Brigham Young University in Elementary Education. After becoming engaged to Geb, she taught kindergarten in Las Vegas, Nev., while waiting for him to complete his missionary service. Thanksgiving 1957 saw Geb's return; they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 20 of that same year.
After completing Geb's optemetric education in Oregon, during which twin daughters were born, they settled in Bountiful in 1960. Here they welcomed three more children in consecutive years. At this point Catherine was the busy mother of five children under the age of four years. One more daughter later joined the family.
Catherine had a deep and abiding love of the Savior and was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She especially loved Primary serving in both ward and stake auxiliary presidencies, and enjoyed cherished friendships formed through visiting teaching. She faithfully supported Geb in all of his church duties. Their church service was highlighted with a mission together at the Historic Kirtland Visitor's Center in Ohio from 2004-05.
Her greatest joy and legacy is her family. She is an extraordinary example of a Christ like wife, mother, and grandmother and served her loved ones throughout her life. Summer days at the Bear Lake cabin, Disney vacations, church history trips and her famous spaghetti and meatball dinners are special memories. Each grandchild's needs and interests were thoughtfully considered when giving gifts and planning activities. At Christmas time, 2011, having received her diagnosis, she expressed her faith in the Lord's mindfulness of her circumstances. She gratefully recalled witnessing a broad scope of sacred family events the previous year and shared her favorite scripture, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." 3 John 1:4.
She is survived by her husband and six children: Tami Bryson (Jeff), Cami Layton (Richard), Cathy Anne Robinson (Ben), Bruce (Sara Van Alstyne), Sheri Layton (David), and Mindy Lindsay (Scott); 26 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Sister, Jeanne Morgan Wise, Las Vegas, Nev., sister-in-law, Nancy Morgan, Oakley, brother-in-law, Keith Robinson, Castro Valley, Calif., and nine beloved nieces and nephews also survive. She is preceded in death by her parents, and brother, Joseph Morgan III.
