From a Glee star's overdose to the year-end car accident that killed a Hollywood heartthrob, the last 12 months produced some unexpected tragedy.
But amid some of the more dramatic news, readers were also interested when a former Dancing with the Stars contestant shed an impressive amount of weight, and an A-lister revealed how another star played a prank that ruined her expensive dress.
Read on to relive 2013 as we countdown to the biggest news story of the year:
Cleveland Kidnapping RescueIn May, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who vanished a decade ago, were found in a house near downtown Cleveland after Berry managed to make a 911 call. Their kidnapper Ariel Castro died a few months later in his prison cell from possible auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Valerie Harper Is Diagnosed with Terminal CancerThe beloved TV actress revealed to PEOPLE in March that she was content saying her final goodbyes after doctors told her she had very little time to live. She later went on to compete on DWTS and said she thinks about cancer "less and less."

Miss America's Sgt. Theresa Vail Is First Contestant to Expose TattoosMiss Kansas's Sgt. Theresa Vail was not only the first contestant in the military to compete in the Miss America pageant since 2007, but when she strutted Boardwalk Hall in her bikini, she broke a long-standing taboo by bearing her two giant tattoos – the insignia for the U.S. Army Dental Corps on her left shoulder and the Serenity Prayer running down her right side.
Cory Monteith Dies of Mixture of Heroin and AlcoholJuly was a somber month for the cast of Glee and its slew of fans, who mourned the loss of the show's star, Cory Monteith. Shortly after he was found unconscious in a Vancouver hotel room, authorities determined he died from a mixed drug toxicity of heroin and alcohol.
Sandra Bullock Reveals the Prank George Clooney Played That Ruined Her DressKnown prankster George Clooney sure pulled a fast one on his Gravity costar Sandra Bullock – an expensive one at that. The actor manipulated Bullock into getting in a pool alone in "a cute dress that I paid a lot of money for," she said, adding that once she got out, "it started disintegrating."
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Star Mama June Loses Over 100 Lbs.Mama June Shannon will soon become unredneckognizeable if she sheds as much weight in 2014 as she did this year. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch, who lost 100 lbs., claimed she didn't have any surgeries, take pills or go to the gym, but said simply, "With the show I've been more active."
Kate Gosselin's Life After TVOne of the biggest headline-making names in previous years recently drifted from the spotlight – but as numbers proved in August, there was still some interest in the former reality star and her life as a single mom of eight, who admitted to PEOPLE she "made so many mistakes" during her TV days.
Beyoncé's Pregnancy BuzzAlready a mom to Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé had cyberspace in a flurry over reports that the pop star could be expecting baby No. 2. Although the singer – who just released a sexy secret album – has expressed desire to have more children, the pregnancy rumors were quickly shot down.

Pregnant Kate Bikini Photos Anger RoyalsThe Duchess of Cambridge's privacy was invaded during a February vacation with hubby Prince William, and a rep for the pair expressed that they were none too pleased when photos were released of the pregnant princess frolicking around in a bikini.
Chaz Bono Loses 43 Lbs.Former DWTS contestant Chaz Bono, who famously struggled with his weight for years, had readers in awe of his determination to shed pounds, kicking off 2013 with a 43-lb. loss. By the time September hit, Cher's son was a total of 70 lbs. lighter, explaining he feels "more comfortable, more confident."
Gia Allemand Dies of Apparent SuicideAfter her boyfriend told her, "I don't love you anymore," the former Bachelor contestant from Jake Pavelka's season hung herself in August. Allemand was on the phone with her mom when she took her own life.
Paul Walker Dies in Car CrashThe second most-read story of the year came at the very end of 2013. Longtime Hollywood heartthrob and star of the Fast & Furious franchise died earlier this month as a result of "traumatic and thermal injuries," following a car accident that also killed his friend Roger Rodas, who was reportedly driving the 90 m.p.h. Porsche that caught on fire in Santa Clarita, Calif.

"My stepdad is awesome," Kristin Russell, a captain in the Air Force, based in California, writes on YouTube. "He coached every softball team I was on and came to every karate tournament," she says, adding that her first memories of him are playing with Barbies and reading to her.
Russell's stepdad, Dave, once owned – and cherished – a 1973 Porsche 914. Dave was saving up to restore the car, but elected to spend the money he'd set aside on his wedding to Kristin's mom. The car languished in their garage for a few years before Dave finally sold it.
Kristin spent the past two years saving money from her deployment, and finally located a Porsche 914, identical to the car Dave sold, in Arizona. (Car insurance company Hagerty lists the price of this model Porsche at $14,822.)
She traveled 700 miles to buy the car, then had it shipped to Exton, Pennsylvania, and surprised him with it in time for Father's Day.
As she posted with the video, Kristin says, "I'm just happy I could do something nice for a guy who has always done absolutely anything he could for me."
Now, watch the video and check out Dave's reaction.

D'Youville College plans to spend nearly $3 million on its first outdoor athletic fields to satisfy the demands of the NCAA.
D'Youville, on Porter Avenue on the city's West Side, is a member of the NCAA Division III Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.
The college needs to have its own outdoor soccer and softball fields, instead of playing at other facilities, said Sister Denise A. Roche, college president.
The fields will be built on 3.5 acres bounded by Porter Avenue, Jersey Street, Fourth Street and the Niagara Thruway. The land is not contiguous with the college's other properties but will be close enough for students to watch the games, Roche said. The fields also will be near other greenspace, including LaSalle Park to the west and Front Park to the north.
"These facilities will help the college recruit student athletes," said Victor A. Martucci, a lobbyist for the college.
The college owns some of the property already, is negotiating with the State Thruway Authority for some of the land and has negotiated with the city to purchase 602 Fourth St. The purchase price was based on several appraisals and was set at $400,000.
The transaction was approved Thursday by the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency but must also be approved by the Common Council.
The agency advertised the land, and the college offered the only bid, said Brendan R. Mehaffy, executive director of the Office of Strategic Planning.
The college plans to start construction in the spring but knows that it will need to spend about $400,000 to remediate the site, Roche said. It would like to add lighting to the fields but is waiting to see how much it will cost.
The proceeds from the sale will likely go into the Urban Renewal Agency's general fund, but the agency will need to see whether there are any restrictions from the U.S. Deoartment of Housing and Urban Development on how the money can be used, said agency general counsel Scott C. Billman.

I am a little shocked. She says she is a Christian, but the Bible doesn't say anything about dinosaurs. Should I let him keep them, as long as he understands that dinosaurs aren't real? Even the PBS shows that he watches talk about dinosaurs and evolution, and how the scientists found these "bones" but the Bible doesn't say that God ever created them, and the earth is only 6,000 years old, not old enough to have "bones" that they say are MILLIONS of years old! I know that Satan tries to trick us in many ways, and this is one way that he tries to fool man into believing that there isn't a God who created the universe. How can they be bones when they are made out of ROCKS? I told my son that dinosaurs are one of Satan's many ways of tricking man, and he must talk to God before he plays with them. Am I handling this right? My first 3 were all girls, and I adopted boys, and lots of mothers tell me that boys are often attracted to these dinosaurs. So I don't know what to do. Is this just harmless fantasy play for him, or should I be worried that he may go on to believe in things like evolution?
My neighbor gave my 8-year-old toy dinosaurs.

TGIF!! The tradition lives on from OBBC!! I am having an urge to find a deal on some dinos now!! I too will say I love these threads, makes my work day pass with joy!
Katrina, loving wifey to Jake and mom to James (1/07)
I'm a Bible believing very strong christian that also beleives in dinasours and I don't find anything wrong w/children playing w/them. I don't believe they lived millions of years ago, but just because the Bible does not list every creature ever made does not mean that God did not create them. To this day there is discoveries being made in the depths of the ocean and deep in un-charted lands of creatures we never new about. See the description below if you have doubt about dinasours.
The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it's spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.
Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated "dragon." It is also translated "serpent," "sea monster," "dinosaur," "great creature," and "reptile." Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word "dinosaur." The word "dinosaur" was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to "Tanniyn." To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan.
|"Dinosaur" Names, Then and Now
|Name and date first written in the Bible
|Scientific Name (best estimate) and date the name appeared
|tanniyn (dragon)
|before 1400 BC
|before 1400 BC
|before 1400 BC
How we got these new names is interesting. In 1822, Mary Ann Mantell became the first person to discover and correctly identify a strange bone as part of a large, unknown reptile. Her husband, Dr. Gideon Mantell, later named this creature an "Iguanodon." From that time forward, these forgotten animals were given names chosen by the people who rediscovered them. Of course, the Bible, written between approximately 1450 BC and 95 AD, does not include any of these names.
Reading the Bible carefully, you will realize that no living creature matches the descriptions of behemoth and Leviathan. However, if you grab your kid's dinosaur book, you will notice several possible matches for each one. Let's examine those.
Behemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24
- It "eats grass like an ox."
- It "moves his tail like a cedar." (In Hebrew, this literally reads, "he lets hang his tail like a cedar.")
- Its "bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron."
- "He is the first of the ways of God."
- "He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh."
Some bibles and study bibles will translate the word "behemoth" as "elephant" or "hippopotamus." Others will put a note at the edge or bottom of the page, stating that behemoth was probably an elephant or a hippopotamus. Although an elephant or hippopotamus can eat grass (or lie in a covert of reeds and marsh), neither an elephant or a hippopotamus has a "tail like a cedar" (that is, a tail like a large, tapered tree trunk). In your kid's dinosaur book you will find lots of animals that have "tails like a cedar."
We would expect behemoth to be a large land animal whose bones are like beams of bronze and so forth, so whatever a behemoth is, it is large. A key phrase is "He is the first of the ways of God." This phrase in the original Hebrew implied that behemoth was the biggest animal created. Although an elephant or a hippopotamus are big, they are less than one-tenth the size of a Brachiosaurus, the largest (complete) dinosaur ever discovered.[1] A Brachiosaurus could therefore easily be described as "the first of the ways of God."
Comparing all this information to the description in your kid's dinosaur book, you may come to the conclusion that "behemoth" is not a normal animal, it is a dinosaur—the brachiosaurus. We agree with that conclusion!
and here is the link to the website: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/dinos.shtml
How can they be bones when they are made out of ROCKS?
Ummm....bones and rocks are very different, I dont' think all these sientist get paid all this money to pretend they made a discovery of rocks!
I agree FreeKatrina TGIF!!!

Maverick Southern Kitchens is heaping another dining establishment onto its plate.
The Charleston-based company plans to open a restaurant in the soon-to-be-completed Boulevard apartment and retail complex on Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant, not far from its Old Village Post House on Pitt Street.
The restaurant group, which also owns and operates Slightly North of Broad and High Cotton in Charleston and Greenville, hopes to open the unnamed restaurant and bar by late fall.
It will serve dinner every night, with brunch on Sundays.
Dick Elliott, president and founder of Maverick Southern Kitchens, said the group chose the site because of the town's plans to turn Coleman into a Main Street setting and because The Beach Co.'s Boulevard project will serve as the centerpiece of that vision.
Changing places
New Beginnings Consignments in North Charleston has moved from Dorchester Road.
The shop, now at 5101 Ashley Phosphate Road, will hold a ribbon-cutting and grand opening at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 6. The owner is Connie Filippopoulou.
Local recognition
One hundred vendors of locally made handcrafted products will be recognized in an awards ceremony Friday at Charleston City Market.
Mayor Joe Riley will host the 10 a.m. awards program . Each vendor will receive a ceramic tile with the City Market seal to display in their booth to let shoppers know they sell certified locally made products.
The program, implemented by Charleston City Market, aims to recognize and support local artisans.
Designing woman
Elizabeth Stuart Designs is adding a second location.
The interior design and boutique home furnishings and jewelry shop plans to open a second site at 215 Coleman Blvd. near Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, where Aubergine Home Collection was before it moved to Johns Island earlier this year.
ESD owner and operator Muffy Faith hopes to open by Aug. 15 in the 3,000-square-foot-plus building with additional outdoor space. In addition to all of the same items at the 4,000-square-foot shop at 422 Savannah Highway, the new shop will include a garden section.
The shop will be open 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Giving back
Rock Paper Scissors crafting studio will donate $2 to East Cooper Habitat for Humanity during August for each person who attends a class.
Classes range from $20 to $50 for everything from woodwork to jewelry in the studio at 1220 Ben Sawyer Blvd., Suite W, in Mount Pleasant.
A kickoff event is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 3 at Habitat for Humanity at 469 Long Point Road in Mount Pleasant.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City has received 161 photos from acclaimed photographer David Douglas Duncan, including 159 of artist Pablo Picasso.
Duncan, a Kansas City native who is now 97, has lived in France since the 1950s. He met Picasso in 1956 and was a frequent guest in the artist's home. The first book of those pictures was published in 1958.
The Kansas City Star reports Duncan also documented the Korean and Vietnam wars and many other historic events of the 20th century.
The museum announced Wednesday in a news release that some of the photos will be on display in the Bloch Building lobby of the gallery from Oct. 25 to Jan. 26.

Missouri Dairy Association Opposes Farm Bill Extension
Missouri Dairy Association Opposes Farm Bill Extension
The Missouri Dairy Association (MDA) opposes any attempts by the House of Representatives to extend a version of the current Farm Bill by one year. In a statement delivered today to Missouri's congressional delegation, MDA said:
"Missouri's dairy farmers need a new Farm Bill that will allow them the ability to make sound business decisions for the next five years," says Larry Purdom, MDA president and a dairy farmer from Purdy.
"In addition, the disaster provisions contained in the Farm Bill, approved by the House Agriculture Committee, are needed now because of the severe drought that has drained our state.
"An extension of current law fails to provide the needed level of certainty.
"MDA has supported the Dairy Security Act (DSA) in the Farm Bill (HR 6083 and S 3240) as approved by the House Agriculture Committee and the Senate.
"It is important to get to conference and pass a bill before the current law expires September 30. Continuing outdated dairy policies will negatively impact our business, the federal budget, consumers and the economy," concludes Purdom.

The Town and Village Garden Club of Moncks Corner and Pinopolis capped National Garden Week with a garden fair on Saturday, June 7 in the parking lot of the Berkeley County Government Administration Building on Hwy. 52 in Moncks Corner.
Events included a plant give-away, a beekeeper in full dress, and backyard wildlife information on growing plants to attract birds and butterflies.
Garden clubs nationwide celebrate this week to encourage pride in communities and cooperation among groups interested in generating awareness and educating the public about gardening, said Vicki Hood of the Town and Village Garden Club.
On May 13, Town and Village Garden Club of Moncks Corner and Pinopolis participated in an ongoing project helping the town refurbish planters along Main Street with spring foliage.
Club members potted plants while town staff took care of the heavy lifting to position the planters along Main Street between the Train Depot and Live Oak Drive.
We are always appreciative of the ladies of the Town and Village Garden Club for their assistance in beautifying the downtown area of Moncks Corner, said Public Services Director Butch Svagerko. Their expertise and hard work make our jobs here much easier in making Moncks Corner a special place to call home.
The planters add a little bit of color and beauty to the downtown area of Main Street.
The town planter project is one of numerous events this small, but active club take part in each year.
Club members who participated include Patsy Mims, chair; Linda Smith; Patty Fleming; Mickey Smith and Janice Gleaton, co-presidents; Delores Thomas; Nancy Stuckey; and Mary Nettles.
In addition to numerous flower show blue ribbons, the club was recognized by the Council of Garden Clubs of Greater Charleston in April with two first-place East Lowcountry District honors: Yearbook Award (20-29 members) and Best Club Project Award for its Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker.

David Henry of St. Louis is celebrating an anniversary in Buffalo. On Monday, it was exactly one month since he left Boston Common, pushing a cart that looks like an oversize mailbox, and he plans to keep pushing it along the highways and byways of America until he reaches Los Angeles.
More than anything else, he wants people to ask him, "Why?"
The writing on the side of his cart, which contains supplies for the trip, does some explaining for him: "Climate-walker.org: Walking coast-to-coast" it says.
Henry, 52 and an IT professional, is tromping across the heartland, trying to restart the national conversation about climate change.
"I'm not a scientist. I'm just a concerned citizen," Henry said by phone from a convenience store on Niagara Falls Boulevard. "And what I see is just a political stalemate."
In his mission statement/news release, he writes, "It is time that we all stop the denial of the scientific consensus and take ownership of the climate change problem."
Before anyone gets into polar ice caps, conspiracy theories, or the pros and cons of carbon dioxide emissions with Henry, though, they want to know the really important stuff: How far does he walk every day? (An average of 18 or 19 miles; 25 on a good day.) How many pairs of shoes does he have? (He expects to wear out four or five pairs.) And where does he sleep? (A combination of camping, hotels, hostels and folks found on couchsurfing.org.)
Henry hopes to have at least 100 "good conversations" about climate change along his journey, and he has been impressed with the people he has met so far. Many of them are now commenting on his website and following him on Facebook.
"I have learned you really can't judge a book by its cover," he said. ... I've had guys I thought were garage mechanics quoting Robert Frost to me."
He has had no difficulty finding people to talk to, largely because he is pushing a big white box with a "slow moving vehicle" triangle on its nose and, sometimes, a large rainbow-colored umbrella over its driver.
"When I put that up, it really looks like I'm selling ice cream," Henry jokes.
Ice cream or not, the cart draws the curious.
"I have never gone up to anyone to ask them, 'What do you think about climate change?' " Henry says.
Instead, he meets people who want to support him, and challenge him, and find out why he cares so much. What he hasn't encountered in any large way are bullies.
"I thought before I started that there would be a lot more people wanting to pick fights, but I can count them on one hand, it happens so little," Henry said.
Although, he added, Monday morning there was this one guy, in Lockport.
"He just kept on with a barrage of zingers and insults. That's not a conversation, and to those people I just say, 'Well, OK,' and get away as fast as I can."
Henry was spending Monday night at the Econo Lodge on the boulevard and plans to take today "off," walking only about 9 miles to the hostel where he will stay tonight in downtown Buffalo, so he can talk with more people here.
Henry expects his trip will take about seven months. He heads to Cleveland from here, then through Ohio and west to St. Louis, where he lives. He'll continue through Oklahoma, Texas and the southwest to reach California.

Our go-to cap constructed of the same water resistant, breathable, stretch woven fabric as the Ascent Series.
Our go-to cap, constructed of the same water resistant, breathable, stretch woven fabric as the Ascent Series.
Comfortable ball cap. Hard to mess this one up!
I have purchased this cap a month ago and are using it for roedeer hunting here in Denmark. It is the best cap I have ever owned. Light, durable and fits perfectly. Again another perfect piece of gear from Sitka.
Great caps! I usually prefer beanies unless it is raining or the sun is in my eyes, but I like Sitka's caps over any others. They just seem more comfortable to me, and I have several. The only downfall is the Velcro adjustment on the back seems to catch all the hoody items like the Fanatic Hoody. Really get annoying after awhile.
I love my Sitka Caps, I have one in Optifade and one in Elevated Forest. Very comfortable, and do what caps are supposed to do. They protect my face from the suns harmful rays and keep my face shaded to reduce the glare that game sees.
I'll start by saying I love my Dakota waterfowl gear. Best money can buy period. As far as this hat goes it's great Quality and comfortable but is made for people with large head. I Really wish stika would come out with true fitting hat. My preference would be if they made a hat like what franchise 47. Have sizes small medium large etc. Flexfit hats still don't fit great and sizes very so much. I would spent good money for a true fitted waterfowl hat. They Flexfit they came out with in my opinion is ugly and don't fit well. Just stick with the material used in this hat full Camo and make in 4 or 5 sizes. Hope to see in on the market Thanks
This hat is not very flattering. Feels flimsy and brim is too big imho.
I love this hat. Great look and amazing feel.
I've had this hat for about two weeks now in optifade open country, and like people have said...Yes, I'ts a hat, but a $30 dollar hat should look and fit better in my opinion. It just does not look so good on and makes me feel like a young kid playing baseball again. My head is a normal size i thought, but my friend put it on and he just laughed. It was like the KUIU hats almost in comparison which kuiu totally messed up on that one. It does feel comfortable on my forehead, and I love the camo, but just wished it fit me better. But again, It's just a hat and Sitka can't knock everything out of the park I guess :)
Have had this hat for 2 seasons now and all I can say is DURABLE. great fitting hat
I have tested this hats durability through rain and snowstorms in the field to 100 degree days on the water and have had zero issues for 2 years now. Best fitting, most durable hat I own.
I mean, c'mon! It's a hat but HOLY MOLY what a comfortable lid to wear on the mountainside peeking for goats and horns!!
Awesome, crazy comfortable hat! This is my go to hat for early archery, and blackpowder here in NC. Also, never leaves my head during spring turkey season either. The only con I would say is that when washed, the lining around the headband portion got all knotted up, which may shorten the life of the hat.
Without a doubt an awesome hat! Love it
Everyone has that one lucky hat. The hat that has been with you every step of the way. The hat that you wear when checking trail cameras or while pulling back your bow on an old buck. For me this is that lucky hat. I've been wearing it for years, and it has brought me a lot of good luck while remaining comfortable all day long. The Sitka cap is extremely light and breathable making for a perfect combination. I've had the opportunity to test gear for GORE and this is the one hat that I take with on every hunt!
Outstanding hat, provides great ventilation for warmer weather. The fit is second to none for one with a larger head.
If you have a big head this hat would fit great but if you have a medium sized head then it isn't for you, pushes my ears down unless I tuck them under the hat, wore the hat once and that's it. Sitka needs to come out with a flexfit hat like everyone else.
I know it's "just a cap" but it really is a great cap. I have a huge head and this fits without any weird gaps anywhere. Very comfortable, very light and doesn't make me sweat.
Excellent hat. Nice fit and design. Another plus is the DWR coating for water resistance.
I have a rather large head and one of my biggest frustrations is finding a great cap that sits too high on my head. I was extremely pleased to find this hat, put it on and it actually fit! The elasticity of the material makes this hat extremely comfortable to wear all day. An oft-overlooked feature of this hat is the pliability of the bill. On sunny days, bending the bill more to keep the sun out of my eyes was a huge help. Overcast and rainy days...flatten it out for increased visibility. On cold days, I keep this hat on and pull the Sitka Dakota beanie over the top for added warmth. Another fantastic product I had the opportunity to test for GORE!

The former reality starlet was considerably more restrained than Jenny McCarthy while defending her own anti-vaccination stance to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live Tuesday.
"I'm just a mom. I'm trying to make the best decision for my kid," she said. "There are very scary statistics out there regarding what is in vaccines … We feel like we're making the best decision for our kids."
Cohen's question was spurred by a Fox interview Thursday in which Cavallari admitted to not vaccinating her kids to a disbelieving Lisa Kennedy, who had jokingly mentioned Jenny McCarthy's decision not to vaccinate her children.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, no scientific study has found a link between vaccines and autism.
Cavallari is expecting her second son with husband Jay Cutler in May.

A female motorist driving the wrong way on Interstate 190 in the Town of Tonawanda Tuesday night collided with a male motorist headed in the proper direction, State Police tell The Buffalo News.
Both drivers were injured during the 8 p.m. crash, just south of the South Grand Island Bridges, and were taken to Erie County Medical Center for their injuries, Thruway-based troopers said.
Troopers did not immediately release the names of the two drivers nor discuss the nature and severity of their injuries.
An investigation into the crash continued late Tuesday.

Tina Fey and the other writers of the hit comedy reportedly plan to address Morgan's absence on the show by saying he has some sort of a meltdown because of a good thing that's happened to him.
Morgan, who has diabetes, is said to be recovering from the surgery nicely. He was recently spotted at a New York Knicks basketball game.
His costar, Grizz Champan, also underwent the same transplant earlier this year.

I went on a field trip with Noah's class today. We sat together on the bus, and a little girl joined us. She was quite chatty. She was a close-talker. Which was great because she goes, "my voice sounds funny because I have a sore throat." Also, every neighborhood we passed she knew someone that lived there. That's my old babysitter's. She had a waterbed.
I wanted to keep her. I wanted to keep them all.
Fourth grade. The turning point. It was for me and still is for kids today. In the art museum there were some Impressionist pieces with female nudity. I watched the boys shuffle and whisper to their friends. And just guess when they got to pick one painting to write about where they chose to sit?
Also tonight, in Target I needed shaving gel and the boys asked what it was for and I said for shaving my legs and then Noah covered his mouth while gigglewhispering to Carter something something shave legs hehehe. I was wondering when this was going to start.
Then, in the car, he said what's under there? And I said under where?
Yep, it's started.

The original half-hour version of "Frankenweenie" almost did Tim Burton in.
Rather than release it in 1984, the folks at Disney sent Burton packing, told him he'd wasted their precious resources and advised him not to let the door hit his keester on the way out.
If it weren't for the perspicacity of Paul Reuben and friends – who rescued Burton to direct "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" – Tim Burton might have been among the many unfortunates ground up forever in the machine of Hollywood big studio idiocy.
Instead, he became one of the most talented filmmakers alive. There is no greater recent fable about the life of the artist than "Edward Scissorhands;" his "Batman" was the first madcap indication that there was a previously unsuspected territory where art films and blockbusters could not only meet but party down with reckless abandon.
So here it is in 2012 and a very different Disney staked Burton the resources to do a full-length, stop-action "Frankenweenie." It's an animated glory.
What is doubly wonderful about "Frankenweenie" is not only the movie itself – which is scary, suspenseful, emotionally moving and laugh-out loud funny – but that it represents a glorious resistance to being "branded." by a key 21st century American film artist.
Cold, calculated commercial branding is what happened with Burton's sadly and flamboyantly underwhelming "Alice in Wonderland." It made several tons of money and was elaborately ignorable when you saw it and profoundly unmemorable afterwards.
Granted, "Frankenweenie" is in 3-D, but it is otherwise in glorious black and white with a couple actors – former SCTV prodigies Martin Short and Catherine O'Hara – voicing three characters apiece.
I kind of loved it. I laughed out loud often. How can you beat an animated film in which a kid's wacked-out next door neighbor finds the shape of the dividends left by the cat in her litter box to be portents of things to come?
Our little hero, young Victor Frankenstein (the voice of Charlie Tahan) is not only the budding young filmmaker of the town of "New Holland," he's also the suburb's scientist-in-the-making.
His science teacher even tells him so. That's the cadaverous and downright dire Mr. Rzykruski (pronounced "Rice-Krooski"). He's voiced by the splendid Martin Landau, who, at the age of 84, has been one of Burton's faves ever since he played Bela Lugosi in Burton's "Ed Wood."
All is not ideal, though. In typical all-American style, Victor's dad wants his son to be a sports star – baseball in particular.
Because Victor has what seems to be the happiest and most lovable dog in the neighborhood – an ever-affectionate little mutt named Sparky – he's accompanied by the dog to his first big game. Unfortunately, Victor's baseball stardom has tragic consequences. When Victor hits a towering home run into East Cheeseport, Sparky thinks his sweet little master is playing a very creative game of "go fetch." Sparky is run over and killed.
Which, of course, gives budding scientist Victor Frankenstein all the impetus he needs to collect Mom's muffin tins, waffle iron, etc. and create a device that brings Sparky back to life.
When all the neighborhood kids catch on to how it's done, the nabe is suddenly run over by a turtle the size of Godzilla, a cat that's turned into a bat, and all manner of sea monkeys ready to celebrate life by laughing at everybody and crawling all over them.
What all that means is that the substantial horror quotient in "Frankenweenie" makes it a wee bit too rough for the littlest consumers of things like the much-milder "Hotel Transylvania" but remains perfectly delightful for older kids and teenagers.
The movie is full of delightful morsels. I especially liked the doings on "Dutch Day" in New Holland, including the pompous mayor's ever-so-slightly Goth niece (a delightful Winona Ryder) who, before she sings the town songs, confides merrily to her fellow townsfolk "I welcome death."
I'm not even going to tell you how her poodle turns into the Bride of Frankenstein. It's another of the film's bellylaughs.
Let me freely admit that the four-star rating for this film comes from one simple fact: Tim Burton's stout resistance to being turned into a movie brand and insistence on being a wildly inventive film artist is about as good as movie news gets. It gets a half-star all by itself.
By all means, go.

Carbon Balanced, a World Land Trust (WLT) programme, enables individuals and companies to offset their unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions through the protection and restoration of carbon-rich wildlife habitats in the tropics. The following pages explain the process:
- What is Carbon Balanced offsetting and how are offsets achieved?
- How can companies calculate and offset their unavoidable emissions?
- How can individuals calculate and offset their unavoidable emissions?
- How are Carbon Balanced offsets designed?
- Where are these offsets achieved?
- How much will offsetting with World Land Trust cost?
What is Carbon Balanced Offsetting?
Carbon offsetting is a process whereby an individual or company takes action to prevent the release of emissions elsewhere, or secures the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, of an amount that matches or exceeds their own unavoidable emissions.
But why is it necessary and is it appropriate?
Climate change is already happening
There is now strong evidence that the world's climate is changing. Various data sets analysed in different ways by several independent scientific research groups indicate that the global mean surface temperature has increased by approximately 0.75°C since 1990.
Human activity is the primary cause of observed climate change
Having detected unexpected changes in the Earth's climate, scientists have set about attributing these changes to a range of possible causes. Models indicate that natural causes alone cannot explain fully the observed warming. This provides strong evidence that the release of greenhouse gases by human activities is the most likely cause of these changes.
Action is needed to avert dangerous climate change
Average global temperatures will rise further as the long-term rate of greenhouse gas emissions continues to increase, and concentrations of these gases in the Earth's atmosphere build. Artificially warming our climate is dangerous. People and biodiversity across the planet will increasingly feel adverse effects.
To some extent people and biodiversity could adapt to very modest climate change if forced to do so. But it is generally acknowledged that as average warming approaches 2°C globally, options for adaptation become heavily constrained in many parts of the world. In fact, some places, notably small island states, will suffer very severe impacts as warming approaches 1.5°C. Further, in many places warming will far exceed the global average of 2°C. It is WLT's view that global policy must seek to avoid a rise in global average surface temperatures approaching 1.5°C. Anything higher will endanger significant human populations and biodiversity, and is morally wrong.
Emissions reductions are required across all sectors of the world economy
To avoid dangerous climate change we must dramatically reduce the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. The scale of the challenge is immense and all sectors of the global economy have a role to play.
But some emissions are difficult to avoid
Notwithstanding the need to take concerted action urgently to reduce emissions, some will be difficult to avoid, at least in the short-term. For example, some key technologies are still being developed and it will take time to replace certain 'dirty' technologies with 'clean' alternatives. Further, some elements of the world economy by their nature emit greenhouse gases, cannot avoid doing so, and are important to human well-being.
Of course if one sector does not reduce its own emissions as far as is feasible, other sectors will need to make even deeper cuts if we are to collectively remain below the cap set by carbon budgets.
What can I do about my unavoidable emissions?
Unavoidable emissions can be offset
WLT's Carbon Balanced programme provides a means for Individuals and companies to offset greenhouse gas emissions they cannot avoid. Offsetting is a process whereby an individual or company takes action to prevent the release of emissions elsewhere, or secures the absorption of atmospheric carbon, of an amount that matches or exceeds their own unavoidable emissions.
Offset unavoidable emissions by protecting and restoring key wildlife habitats
Terrestrial habitats, such as forests, grasslands and wet peatlands, contain large volumes of carbon in their biomass and soils. Yet these habitats are being destroyed or degraded at an unprecedented rate, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. Avoiding the imminent loss of existing habitats prevents the release of stored carbon, whilst enabling the regeneration of degraded habitats gradually re-absorbes atmospheric CO2.
WLT's Carbon Balanced programme offsets emissions by preventing the imminent destruction of threatened habitats and restoring degraded habitats.
WLT's Carbon Balanced offsets are carefully designed according to robust project design standards that ensure the offsets are real and delivered at a portfolio of sites where they are measurable, verifiable and properly monitored.
In so doing, individuals and companies contribute to global biodiversity conservation
All Carbon Balanced sites are of outstanding importance for biodiversity and have a high carbon density or the potential to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide through habitat restoration. Individuals and companies that offset their unavoidable emissions by Carbon Balancing therefore also save and restore critically threatened habitats and species. Of course, the storage and absorbtive capacity of terrestrial habitats is finite, and offsetting must only be considered within the context of a comprehensive emissions reduction strategy.

MONROVIA, 20 April 2012 – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) will team with the ECOWAS Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) and the World Bank to implement a five-year programme on small scale hydro power for West Africa.
This was announced at a regional workshop on small scale hydro power that ended in Monrovia today. The five-day event was organized by ECREEE, in collaboration with UNIDO, the World Bank, and the Government of Liberia, and supported by the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECID).
The EUR 5 million programme will be implemented between 2013 and 2018. It will help develop localcapacity, share knowledge and hydrological data, and development policies and financial schemes. It will also promote investment for at least 60 hydro sites in West Africa and help establish a network for the local development, construction and maintenance of small hydro plants, and the production of turbines and spare parts.
The event was attended by some eighty experts from thirteen ECOWAS countries.
Further workshop material can be downloaded from http://small-hydro.ecreee.org

In the ever-expanding universe of genre-blending mass entertainment spectacles – a category that includes everything from "Stomp" to "Lord of the Dance" – the Blue Men reign supreme. The popular entertainment machine known as Blue Man Group, founded by a trio of New York City artists in 1987, has built for itself a cerulean-tinted international empire few companies can match.
A new touring version of Blue Man Group – rife with zany comic routines and improbable feats of dexterity and musicianship – comes to Shea's Performing Arts Center (646 Main St.) for five performances through Sunday, starting at 8 tonight. The last time Blue Man Group was in town, to perform its popular "How to Be a Mega-Star 2.1" show, reviewer Garaud MacTaggart had this to say: "It was fun. It was BIG FUN! It was 'you shoulda been there' kind of fun."
If you missed them last time around, no need to be blue. Tickets are $29.50 to $72.50, with more information at 847-0850 or www.sheas.org.

In the summer of 1953, my father and I went to Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in the state of Maine. His objective was to have a good day of fishing for trout in that area. My objective was to climb the mountain. It was a beautiful day as we set up our World War I tent in the campground there.
Dad said there was a forecast for possible rain. "If it does rain," he said, "don't touch the tent fabric."
We gave a nibble of food to a lame deer that was wandering through the campground and then set out for our respective goals.
The Baxter Trail started from the campground, and that's the one I took. The mountain was 5,200 feet high, a single granite monolith that came into existence about 400 million years ago in a relatively flat area with no other mountains nearby. The trail started gently in a dry stream bed. As I climbed further through the tall trees, it became steeper and steeper. The stream bed was filled with rough blocks of stone. The day became overcast, and it began to rain. The stream bed developed a trickle of water, and I tried to avoid getting wet.
About two-thirds of the way up the mountain, I came to a plateau above the tree line, which rose gently to the summit of the mountain. Because the rain had developed into a downpour, it became more and more difficult to see the painted white blazes on stones that marked the trail, but I never lost my way. Finally, I reached the top and found a small shed with a logbook in it where I signed my name and date to establish the fact that I had, indeed, climbed the mountain. There were comments in the log about the spectacular views other climbers had seen. I was uncertain what to write because I was in a dense cloud and could see virtually nothing.
When I reached the bottom of the mountain again, I was soaking wet. Dad was already there and was dressing the mess of trout he had caught. Much to his chagrin, I touched the tent while changing clothes and created a steady leak under which we put a bucket.
We ate our supper under the fly at the open end of the tent. Potatoes and trout fried over an open fire with bits of salt pork and hot coffee are hard to top. It was a satisfying end for a challenging but pleasurable day for both of us. Events like this are what bring fathers and sons close.
In the summer of 1998, my cousins, Martin and Bob, who live in Maine, invited us to visit them. They both had summer places along the southwest shore of Moosehead Lake. We were there about a week, and while we were there we took a drive around the circumference of the 30-mile-long lake.
The northern half of that dirt road was through land owned by a paper company. It is called the Great North Woods. From it, the company cuts wood used to make paper.
We ate lunch at an old woodsman's camp that has become a tourist attraction. It is a large house where they grow fresh vegetables and maintain livestock for fresh milk, eggs and meat. Meals are served family-style, and there was a crowd of people, though it seemed a remote and isolated place.
Another adventure we had while in the Moosehead Lake area was to get tickets for my wife, son, grandson and me to ride on a single engine float plane scheduled to fly northeast up to the face of Mount Katahdin. We saw many unused wooden fire towers, which had been costly to maintain, so the park service now employed planes like this to fulfill the same function.
We flew over a multitude of ponds. In some of them we saw moose swimming and eating water lilies. The land below looked like a checkerboard because of the paper company's clear cutting of the trees. In about 45 minutes, we flew by the face of Mount Katahdin, and it was then that I finally saw the grandeur of the view from the mountain.

The island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia was the dream honeymoon destination for Buffalo-area natives Katie Kaczor and Max Bichler before they got married last fall.
But when the newlyweds visited, it was hardly a honeymoon. It was their first stop as contestants on the 22nd season of "The Amazing Race," a reality television show in which teams travel the world and perform tasks at each stop, racing toward a $1 million prize.
This season premieres at 8 p.m. tonight on WIVB-TV Channel 4.
"We hope to take an 'official' honeymoon – a relaxing honeymoon – once the show airs in its entirety," Katie Bichler, 25, said in a telephone interview Friday. The show will wrap up in May.
Participating in the race had been another dream for the bride, who grew up in Orchard Park. Her 31-year-old husband is a native of the Town of Tonawanda.
"I have been a huge fan of the show for years – since it came out," she said. They applied online before getting married Oct. 6 and learned in December that they would be among 11 teams competing.
With just a month to prepare, they began training. "We were running a lot," Bichler said.
Contestants started out from the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for parts unknown.
"You don't know in advance," she said, adding that contestants are "thrown into the fire and you have to figure it out."
The first stop was Bora Bora.
"That was exciting for us," Bichler said. "We originally wanted to go there for our honeymoon. Bora Bora's absolutely beautiful."
According to CBS, Season 22 travels to nine countries on five continents. New Zealand, Botswana and Switzerland also are among the stops.
"The race is extremely stressful," Bichler said. Not only is it physically grueling, there's also jet lag, exhaustion, lack of sleep and hunger to deal with, she said.
"You run on adrenaline. You're constantly go, go, go," she said.
It's sure to be a more relaxing night for the couple Sunday in North Tonawanda, where they plan to watch the premiere with family and friends at a favorite tavern.
A graduate of Nardin Academy, where she was a standout golfer, Katie Bichler earned a doctorate degree from the University at Buffalo's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. A former member of the Buffalo Jills cheerleaders, she works as a pharmacist in the Southtowns.
Her husband is a graduate of St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. He works as a regional sales manager for Rocky Patel Premium Cigars.
The couple met about four years ago on a golf course in Canada, where both were participating in a charity golf event that benefits a scholarship fund at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute. Unbeknownst to Max Bichler, his future wife was the event's reigning champion.
You'll have to tune in to find out if the Bichlers become the next reigning champions of The Amazing Race.
Meanwhile, viewers might notice the maroon and white rubber bracelets that they wear.
Featuring the colors of Orchard Park High School, they're worn in honor of Peter Brady, an alumnus and former volleyball star who was left paralyzed from his shoulders down when he broke his neck in a swimming pool accident last Memorial Day.
"We were kind of like his legs in the race," Bichler said.
