"He opened up quite a bit," Waller tells PEOPLE of their meeting for the movie that shot last September. "He was like, 'I can do this character. I know this character. I was this character. I have lived elements of this.' He said, 'I was a troubled youth.' "
Less than a year later, there were questions of whether Monteith's past had caught up with him after the Glee star, 31, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room.
A cause of death was pending the results of Monday's autopsy and toxicology tests. "We genuinely don't know," says coroner spokeswoman Barbara McLintock.
The Canadian native completed a month-long stint in a treatment facility for substance addiction in April and had been open about his lifelong struggles with substance abuse.
Appearing on Inside the Actor's Studio last year, Monteith said that his problems with drugs and alcohol began when he "was about 12."
He attended 16 different schools, including some that had alternative programs for "kids that are problematic," before dropping out at the age of 16.
By that stage his drug use had become "a serious problem," and, as Monteith revealed in a 2011 interview in Parade he was using "anything and everything, as much as possible."
Worried that he was going to die, Monteith's mother and a group of friends staged an intervention when he was 19. "I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing," he said.
The turning point came when he was caught stealing "a significant amount of money" from a family member. Monteith was given an ultimatum: Quit drinking and taking drugs or go to jail.
"I changed my whole life," he admitted. "I moved to another city to live with a friend of my mother's who was recovering from addictions and I decided I was going to start trying to learn how to act."
After moving to LA and scoring the role as high school student Finn Hudson on Glee in 2009, Monteith made a concerted effort to remain sober.
Carin Baer / FOX
When asked on Canadian talk show George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight whether he struggled with sobriety in LA, he answered, "No. I just redouble my efforts on what I'm doing."
Monteith leaned heavily on his girlfriend and costar Lea Michele, who stood by the man she called her "best friend" and was waiting for him when he was released from rehab.
It's still unclear what happened after Monteith arrived in Canada and checked into the hotel on July 6. (Michele remained in Los Angeles.) He and his manager dined on Thursday night with Maureen Webb, the co-founder of Project Limelight Society, who said the actor "looked so good, so healthy."
Police say that the next night, Monteith and three unidentified people left his hotel room and that the actor returned alone at about 2:15 a.m. Saturday. A hotel staff person found his body shortly after noon when Monteith didn't check out.
When he talked to Parade in 2011, Monteith said that while he felt he could resist the temptations of Hollywood, "I can't completely rule out any of that happening."
"But," he added, "I can't un-live the life I've lived."
Reporting by MIA McNIECE
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

The two best teams in the two best leagues in the world clashing in arguably the world's most famous football stage—is there really anything not to love about Saturday's UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United?
Saturday's highly-anticipated final at Wembley in London should look somewhat familiar to most football observers, considering the match features the same sides that battled for Champions League glory two years ago in Rome, with Barcelona emerging victorious 2-0.
But plenty has changed since then.
Manchester United have transformed from a side that so heavily relied on the talents of Cristiano Ronaldo to a stout, resilient bunch that brushed aside English Premier League challenges from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea en route to a domestic triumph.
Barcelona have a similar side to the 2009 group that triumphed in Europe, but replaced aging stars Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto with younger stars Pedro and David Villa to compliment the always-spectacular Lionel Messi up top. Pedro was on Barcelona's 2009 side, but was rarely featured.
Some consider this to be an even stronger Barcelona side than 2009's edition, but Manchester United have shown repeatedly that they are more than capable of comprehensively disposing any of Europe's top competition in their run to the final.
Check back here for all of the latest updates leading up to what will surely be an epic clash on Saturday and, of course, check in to Bleacher Report's world football section for even more coverage.

As Simon Ndirangu reached the crest of the Ravenel Bridge on a cloudless Saturday morning, he couldn't help himself.
Bridge Run By the Numbers
38,744 -- People who registered for the race31,449 -- Runners and walkers who finished$10,000 -- Prize money given to male and female winners16 -- Wheelchair racers that finished
The 27-year-old turned around to see where the rest of the competition was in the 36th annual Cooper River Bridge Run.
Complete Bridge Run coverage
To read more coverage of the Bridge Run, go to www.postandcourier.com/bridgerun
The Kenyan found himself leading by more than 30 meters at the 3-mile mark. Ndirangu put his head down, pumped his arms, and almost effortlessly picked up his pace. As he descended the 13,000-foot span, he turned again and almost couldn't believe it. His lead had grown to more than 150 meters.
Ndirangu won Saturday's 10,000-meter race by more than 200 meters in a time of 28 minutes, 5 seconds. Ndirangu's time was the eighth-fastest in race history, but more than 20 seconds slower than the record time of 27:40 set by James Koskei in 2000. It was, however, more than 90 seconds faster than last year's winning time of 29:37.
Ndirangu took home the winning check of $10,000.
Ethiopia's Hiwot Ayalew won the women's division in a time of 32:17. It was Ayalew's first time running in Charleston. Ayalew beat runner-up Ogla Kimaiyo (32:20) of Kenya by just three seconds. Ayalew's time was the 13th-fastest in the women's division. Ayalew, who took home the $10,000 first-place prize, does not speak English and declined to talk with reporters following the race.
A total of 38,744 runners and walkers registered to take part in this year's race, which went off with only a few minor hiccups. A year ago, the start of the race was delayed nearly an hour as participants were still being shuttled to the starting line in Mount Pleasant from downtown Charleston. A total of 31,449 finished the race, which was 5,203 less than the record number that finished the event a year ago.
This was the second Cooper River Bridge Run title for Ndirangu, who won the event in 2010 and was the runner-up in 2011.
"The first mile was pretty slow and there were many of us in the lead group," Ndirangu said. "When we got to the bridge and started to run uphill, I wanted to push the pace. I wanted to start to separate myself from the group."
Ndirangu ran the fourth mile in 4:17 and ran his fastest mile split of 4:13 from the four-mile mark to the five-mile mark. Ndirangu said he knew it was his race to lose after getting to the top of the bridge.
"When I got up to the top of the bridge and no one was there with me, I knew this was going to be my day," Ndirangu said.
"I felt very strong on the bridge. I've run this race enough to know how to run the bridge, which is very important. You don't want to push too hard, but you can't slow your pace too much either."
Had Ndirangu been challenged over the final two miles, he felt confident that the course record might have fallen. The weather conditions were perfect with calm winds and temperatures hovering around 50 degrees at the 8 a.m. start time.
"If someone had been there to push me, especially when we got off the bridge, the record would have been broken," Ndirangu said. "This is becoming one of my favorite races. It's one I look forward to every year."
Chasing Ndirangu most of the race was Raleigh native Bobby Mack, who finished third at 38:40. Mack, a former All-America cross country and distance runner at North Carolina State, was in second most of the race.
"Most of the time, guys are content to stay in a group and run slower and wait until we get to the top of the bridge," Mack said. "This year, (Ndirangu) went a little early as we were going up the hill. I decided to go with him. I don't mind running up the hills. I was with him for a while, but then he just put it into another gear and a pretty big gap started to form."
Mack was just one second off finishing in second place. A strong kick by Kenya's Julius Kogo (28:49) edged Mack for second place.
Hiwott Ayalew of Ethiopia was the female winner in the elite division, finishing in 32:17. (Brad Nettles/postandcourier.com)×

If you are looking for the Bishop Guilfoyle junior high football schedule in the Mirror's football tabloid that comes out next Tuesday, don't bother.
There isn't one.
Guilfoyle has cancelled all of its ninth-grade games. The Laurel Highlands Conference is going to a two-team junior high setup this year. While most of the member schools are fielding ninth-grade teams and a team for the younger kids, the Marauders instead decided to go with eighth and combined eighth and seventh-grade squads.
All of Guilfoyle's freshmen players have been moved up, pushing the numbers on the varsity roster to more than 40.
Where to go
The Heritage Conference and the WestPAC - both with an odd number of members - have decided to do a football co-op in which the teams in the respective leagues will play each other on their open dates. Some of them have already started.
The loser in all of this could be Chestnut Ridge. An independent since being forced out of the ICC and aborting its entry into the Mountain Conference, Ridge helped fill its schedule with open WestPAC schools.
Next year, that won't be an option.
The Lions have six varsity games scheduled for 2012 and 2013 - one against Bedford, two against Cumberland, Md. schools and three against Mountain League teams.
The Mountain League could be Ridge's saving grace. With its nearby Mifflin County schools having departed, there have been rumblings that Juniata will leave the loop in the not-too-distant future. Barring other defections or force-outs, Ridge might be a quick fix to fill Juniata's vacancy.
Private issue
With high school sports starting up again, it's inevitable that the public-private school debate soon will rage again.
I attended and coached at a public school but always liked the idea of competing against anyone and seeing who really was the best, whatever their perceived advantages. With that in mind, I always hoped the sides could find some kind of a compromise; the multiplier system was one of the better ones.
While on assignment for Alleghenies Adventure recently, though, an administrator from an eastern Pa. public school relayed an idea to have the private schools and public schools split for classifying purposes. The largest 25 percent in each would be Class AAAA, the next 25 percent Class AAA and so on. Then they'd be put back together by those classifications.
It's worth exploring, if the sides can step out of their trenches for a bit.

on July 11, 2013 - 2:29 PM
The driver in a June high-speed crash that killed his back seat passenger has been charged with driving while intoxicated, vehicular manslaughter and unlicensed operation of a vehicle, Buffalo police announced today.
Accident investigators Martin Forero and Keith LaFalce say Wallace Hedgepeth, 20, of Buffalo, was speeding when he struck a guard rail and a tree at 3:30 a.m. on June 23 before coming to rest on some nearby grass at the ramp to the Kensington Expressway near Elm Street.
Jireh D. Williams, 21, of Buffalo, was ejected from the vehicle and died from injuries suffered in the crash. Hedgepeth and another passenger were taken to Erie County Medical Center, where they were treated for "non-life-threatening injuries," according to police.
Hedgepeth was arraigned this morning in Buffalo City Court.

The default disaster has been delayed. Now, Congress and the White House can focus on immigration reform, a farm bill - oh, yeah, and a budget.
Our nation is in this fiscal predicament because Washington operates with a different set of rules than other governmental entities. That's why you never have heard the following:
"We'll have to lay off firefighters and police officers unless the city council raises the debt ceiling."
"Without an extension in the debt limit, we'll have to curtail road patrols in order to maintain adequate jail staffing."
"The increase in allowable debt will enable us to avoid faculty and staff cutbacks during the next nine-week period."
"Maintenance and repair work on township highways and bridges can resume now that we have extended our borrowing authority."
Township trustees do it. School board members do it. County boards do it. City and village councils do it. Can Congress plan to spend less than expected revenues?
The math is simple. The politics are difficult. Obligations of social programs, as structured at present, mean something has to give.
And it's not just a matter of balancing future budgets. That still would leave the sizable debt.
But balancing the budget and starting to pay down the debt would not resolve federal funding issue, either. Medicare and Social Security on unsustainable trajectories.
Last spring, trustees for the Medicare program said its hospital insurance fund would run dry in 13 years. Social Security's reserves, still were projected to be gone 20 years from now.
Plus, money in Social Security Trust Fund has been spent; the Treasury left special securities left in place. In recent years, some of those securities have had to be redeemed, adding to the budget deficits.
The long-term viability of government programs can be tackled by Congress in the future. More likely, the issue will be swept under the debt ceiling.

The power of custom gene synthesis is the ability to design your DNA without the constraints of traditional cloning. Equally important to most researchers, however, is obtaining high yield of mRNA and ultimately protein from synthetic genes. We developed GeneOptimizer™ software to maximize expression of synthetic genes in all commonly used expression systems.
GeneOptimizer Process for Multi-parameter Gene Optimization
It is a proprietary software loaded with a sophisticated algorithm that considers all relevant transcription and translation optimization parameters in a single operation and delivers a DNA sequence configured with your specifications, optimized for maximum performance in your system (Figure 1). Years of research have gone into the algorithms that drive GeneOptimizer software, and we continue to update its features based on new developments in biological research.
Sequence optimization using the GeneOptimizer software process is included as an optional step with all GeneArt™ Gene Synthesis services. To take advantage, select your expression host when setting up a request using our online customer portal. The online software will then guide you through the project setup process, including online sequence optimization. Alternatively, you can request GeneOptimizer sequence analysis using the same online customer portal.

Using our online customer portal, design your synthetic gene by uploading your sequence, selecting your expression system, and specifying your cloning vector and sequence details, such as start/stop codons, 3'/5' untranslated regions, and inclusion/exclusion of restriction enzymes sites and immunomodulatory CpG motifs. Once you submit your request, GeneOptimizer software generates as many as 500,000 optimized variants of your target sequence in an evolutionary approach that addresses the most important sequence parameters in parallel. It then selects one optimized DNA sequence that best suits your research requirements.
GeneOptimizer sequence processing includes the following:
- Identification of the best way to incorporate your requested sequence elements
- Elimination of cryptic splice sites and RNA destabilizing sequence elements for increased RNA stability
- Addition of RNA stabilizing sequence elements
- Codon optimization and G/C content adaptation for your expression system
- Intron removal
- Avoidance of stable RNA secondary structures
Results in up to a 100-fold increase in expression
Figure 2 - Sequence optimization using the GeneArt GeneOptimizer process significantly increases expression. Reference: Graf M. et al (2000), J Virol 2000 Nov; 74(22): 10822–10826
A recently published study about mammalian gene expression, proves the reliability of the GeneOptimizer approach. Key highlights of the study:
- 86% of optimized genes showed higher expression than the corresponding wildtype
- 100% of optimized genes showed expression, 12% of wildtype genes did not
- Protein expressed from optimized genes was soluble and showed full functional activity

Editor's note: Throughout the summer, Sentinel reporter Dusty W. Sipes will write a weekly feature on local artists who perform various genres of music. This week's feature reviews the broad talents of Mifflin County's Billy Zeigler.
Billy Zeigler is perhaps the most recognizable name in Mifflin County music.
If you haven't seen him perform live, it's likely that you've at least heard his name. He began performing in 1966 and has been playing steadily ever since. He was raised during the heyday of rock and roll, and has adjusted his playing and setlists to include modern music as time progresses, and still pays tribute to timeless classics. He has performed in rock, country, psychedelic and funk bands, and has provided many memorable performances at a variety of venues throughout Pennsylvania. Like many musicians, he came from a humble background that developed into a history of folklore, good times and late nights. Zeigler's exposure to music came in the form of novelty records.

"The first thing that we listened to was Mitch Miller sing-a-long songs. You know the ones with the bouncing ball boinging on the words? You were supposed to sing along. But as soon as I heard the Beatles that was it. I had to have a guitar," Zeigler said.
Zeigler then took to asking his parents for one.
"I started playing in my living room. I was the only one who had a guitar at the time. My parents bought me one of those Sears guitars with the amp built into the case. I badgered my parents into getting me one. The only way you could get one around here was through a catalog store. My aunt lived in Wilmington, Delaware and we were down there one time and there was a Sears retail store and they had the different price line of guitars from $200 down. So I took the $79.99 single-coil pickup one. For an extra $20 I could have gotten the double coil one. That was my starter and I started taking lessons at Frank's Guitar Store in Lewistown. I later took lessons with Tommy Wareham in State College."
The 1960s is arguably the most important decade in music: folk, surf, garage, blue, psychedelic and Motown dominated the airways, and Zeigler welcome all of the styles and learned from them.
"Back then I was into British Invasion stuff. I really like The Animals, The (Rolling) Stones, Dave Clark Five was one I really liked. All that Mersey Beat stuff. Then the American groups started coming around like Jay and the Americans, Creedence Clearwater Revival, then all the psychedelic stuff came around and the first time I heard 'Purple Haze' and I was blown away. This led into the power trio movement I had to have all of that stuff like Cream and Hendrix."
Guitar tablature was not popularly taught in the 1960s, and instructors often taught lessons by teaching the notes on a page. The only way to learn the latest Moby Grape number was to sit down at a record player and "keep moving the needle back." Zeigler says that he doesn't know how many copies of his records he wore out.
With his new love of music, Zeigler's next logical step was to begin finding others to perform with.
"I had my guitar and my neighbor was the, so to speak, drummer who played on Hartley Chips cans. We had three of them and we'd lay loose change on top of one for the snare to give that 'shhhh' sound," Zeigler said.
The Bellevue Community Center used to host bands on Saturdays and Zeigler often found himself watching what he considered to be the best local band: the Mauraders.
"We would watch them and get all psyched-up. The guy had a Bassman and they played a bass through it, sang through it and had a Hammond Organ through it and it sounded great," Zeigler said.
Frequent attendance enabled Zeigler to get his band called The Galaxies (named after the Ford Galaxy the drummer's father owned) a shot at a live performance. Like many firsts in life, it could have gone better:
"We weren't much on singing, so we would do instrumentals. This was probably 66 or 67. We get all ramped up for this big gig and get about halfway through the first set, and I don't know if it was just nerves or whatever, but I suddenly felt an 'ugh' in my stomach and just threw up all over the place. That was the end of the first gig," Zeigler said.
Zeigler then moved on to perform bass with a group from Milroy called the Knightmayors. Shortly after that, he was given an opportunity to play with a group of musicians who were much older than he was, but gave him the opportunity to play in venues he wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.
"Penny and the Twilighters was the group, and I wasn't old enough to drive. I was probably 15, but it was my first taste of professional playing on a regular basis. Even though I was 15, I was playing at the VFW in Mount Union, the J&B Bar and Mifflintown Legion. We just rotated a schedule every week. We were playing stuff like Johnny Cash and Ferlin Husky," said Zeigler.
Throughout the late 60s and early 70s, Zeigler continued to play in a series of bands both locally and steadily in the State College scene. It was in 1974 he began playing with a group that has gone through a series of lineups and breakups: Foxxy. It was with this group Zeigler would later meet Stan Orndorf, a musician he has continue to play with in a series of groups up through the 2000s.
In 1984, the original incarnation of Foxxy called it quits. It was at this time Zeigler began playing with the most famous country band to emerge in Mifflin County: Crossover, originally called Country Crossover.
"It was 1985 and this new country music was different it sounded almost like rock. The songs were easy to play, and people loved it. We were able to get crowds everywhere," Zeigler said.
Crossover had the opportunity to open for the likes of Willie Nelson, Diamond Rio, Mark Chesnutt, Marty Stuart, Asleep at the Wheel, Ronnie McDowell and most famously, Garth Brooks.
Internal conflicts caused the group to dissolve in the 1990s.
In 2000, Foxxy changed the spelling to Foxie and began playing again. They were the weekend house band at the Saloon in State College. Consisting of Zeigler on guitar, Chad Caprio on lead guitar, Stan Orndorf on bass, Johnny X on keyboard and Gina Rindina on vocals, the band was known as one of the greatest party bands in downtown State College
Orndorf and Zeigler have also played in a stripped-down guitar and bass band called The Fools on Stools, and is currently playing with The Fools with Caprio on lead, Orndorf on bass and Kevin Thomas on drums.
Crossover has recently reunited with their most popular lineup and will be playing a series of shows over the summer. Crossover's next major event will be on Aug. 21 at Moose Family Center in Lewistown. The event is open to the public and is to raise money for toys for kids.
Zeigler performs every second Saturday at Brownie's Mountain Tavern, just over the Seven Mountains from Milroy on U.S. 322, and each Wednesday at Big Daddy's, in Lewistown.
The Fools, Fools on Stools and Crossover can all be found on Facebook.

When NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock called Bills coach Chan Gailey the "master of the screen pass" last week, he wasn't being facetious.
The screen play is indeed an integral part of Buffalo's offense.
Through the first 10 games, the Bills have run 26 screen passes to running backs or tight end Dorin Dickerson, producing 248 yards. Four of those 26 passes have gone incomplete, so on 22 receptions, they've averaged 11.3 yards, according to News statistics.
"They are really important because we do run the football, we do throw it and that's the sort of in-between play. It's a pass, but it's the way of getting the ball in the hands of somebody you think can go make a play for you," Gailey said. "So we try to devise as many different ways as we can to get the ball in the hands of playmakers. Screens are one good way to do it, and we've been fortunate to be very successful with them thus far. Hopefully it keeps up."
In Buffalo's 19-14 victory over Miami, the game in which Mayock gushed admiration for Gailey's ability to design the play, the Bills ran four screens that gained 66 yards. Overall, C.J. Spiller has caught 11 screens for 162 yards, while Fred Jackson has nine for 52 yards and one touchdown (on a center screen against Tennessee).
"It's a big part of our pass game. We've got guys who are able to do a good job with the yards after the catch. We try to dress it up as much as we can and we like for it to be a big part of our offense," Spiller said. "We want teams to have prepare for it. The more they have to prepare for, the more they have to worry about. I love doing it."
Both Spiller and Jackson excel as receivers, allowing Gailey to dial up the screens as often as he does. Another underrated aspect of the screen game that makes it successful, though, is the ability of Buffalo's offensive linemen to get out in space and block.
The Bills have a mobile offensive line, with three fourth-year veterans (Eric Wood, Andy Levitre and Kraig Urbik), a second-year player (Chris Hairston) and a rookie (Cordy Glenn).
"I think it works well with their abilities and our abilities. We've got a pretty young offensive line. We move fairly well, so it works to both of our strengths. You gotta get out and move in space and you don't see a lot of the bigger offensive lines around the league running as many screens for that reason," Wood said.
"We get them [defenses] caught off-guard a little bit when we do it. We're a little bit more tired after running down the field, but as long as it's paying off, and they have been lately, it's all worth it."
Spiller leads all running backs with eight receptions that have gone for 20-plus yards this season, including two against the Dolphins.
His 31 overall receptions is tied for eighth among running backs, while Jackson has 26 receptions despite missing three complete games and most of a fourth.
"We want both of them on the field, whether that's together or rotating. We want to get them the ball as much as we can," Wood said. "They're explosive with the ball in their hands. They both are extremely elusive. They're two of our better players, so any way we can get them the ball — and beside handing it off to them — a screen's about the second best way to do it."
In addition to being good receivers, Jackson and Spiller have a knack for making tacklers miss.
"I think that says a lot about our running backs. I think some of the screens we've had this year, I think our linemen do a good job of getting out and our running backs do a good job of setting up blocks," said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
"Some of the screens we've had this year have been flat-out covered. Those guys have made people miss and got down field. I think the screen game has said a lot about Fred and C.J. and what we've got going on there."
The News' figures do not include screens to wide receivers, but those also factor heavily into the Bills' attack, as they've run 12 such plays.

Today is Apple's big day and it has released a new version
of iTunes to accommodate the new iPods and the iPhone.
iPhone customers can now purchase ringtones from iTunes. Customers
must first pay $0.99 for a song from iTunes, then another $0.99 for the privilege
of using that song as a ringtone. Apple is including a utility within iTunes to
create ringtones based on any 30-second segment from a song complete with
fade-in and fade-out.
Apple says that over 500,000 songs will be available to make
the conversion to ringtones and the feature will be enabled in iTunes software
sometime next week.
Apple also today announced the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.
iPod touch owners will be able to use their WiFi connection to logon to iTunes
from any wireless hotspot. From the interface, users can browse "New
Releases," "What's Hot," and "Games" from the top tab
on the screen. Users can also search the entire iTunes music library, purchase
individual songs or buy complete albums.
Songs bought from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store are
downloaded directly to the iPod touch. Docking the iPod touch to your desktop
PC or Mac will then sync the songs with iTunes library.
Apple announced that the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store will also
be extended to the iPhone.
Interestingly enough, Apple also announced Starbucks
integration with the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Customers who surf on a
Starbucks hotspot will be greeted with a Starbucks icon in their iPhone/iPod
touch UI. Customers will then be able to buy the songs playing over the
Starbucks speaker system through iTunes.
The biggest thing to take away from this announcement is how
much Microsoft dropped the ball with the Zune. Microsoft had all of the building
blocks in place to offer a wireless music store with the Zune. Microsoft gave
customers WiFi with the Zune, but the company chose to seriously cripple the
feature and limit its effectiveness.
Apple has now taken WiFi with the iPhone and iPod touch and
expanded its overwhelming online music dominance with the iTunes Wi-Fi Music
Store. Microsoft is going to need a lot more than a $199
Zune to combat this latest salvo from Apple.
quote: Woz, Did you feel wrong stealing outright from Xerox ...?WOZ:Steve Jobs made the case to Xerox PARC execs directly that they had great technology but that Apple knew how to make it affordable enough to change the world. This was very open. In the end, Xerox got a large block of Apple stock for sharing the technology. That's not stealing outright.

5 Things No One Can Teach You About Being Funny
I've had a decent amount of success in the field of Internet comedy. Enough that I was able to quit my day job and just do this for a living, anyway. As a result, people ask me for career advice all the time. And if you're an Internet writer like I am, you know "all the time" means "it happened once."
That doesn't matter, though, because I don't really have that much advice to give. Anyone can write for Cracked, and I just did that a lot and now I work here. There's no reason you can't do that, too.
Well, almost no reason. There are some things about being funny that no one can teach you. If you decide to pursue comedy as a career, you'll inevitably encounter these things. If you don't figure out a way to overcome them, you probably won't have a ton of success. Things like ...
#5. How to Be Funny (If You Aren't)
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
I know it's going to be a bummer for some people to hear, but in my honest opinion, I don't think you can teach a person to be funny. It's just something you are or something you are not. There are a lot of books and classes out there about comedy, but if any of them claim they can take a person from "not funny" to "funny," they are talking snake-oil nonsense.
That's not to say books and classes aren't useful. I took a stand-up comedy class when I first moved to Los Angeles and it did great things for my confidence. But no one goes into a comedy class as an unfunny person and just magically learns how to identify the quality punchlines hiding in all of those depressing stories about natural disasters and dead people that we read every day. It's just not something everybody can do. To suggest otherwise is like implying that anyone with access to a basketball can play in the NBA, provided playing professional basketball took way less talent and paid fast food money.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Not even name brand fast food.
So that's the bad news. The good news is that being funny is something a lot of people can do. And you could very well be one of those people! The only way to find out is to try it. You can't wait for the right book or class to come along and explain how to be funny. You should already know if you are to some degree. Or at the very least, you should be delusional enough to think you are when you really aren't. Either way, there's only one way to find out for sure, and that's by giving it a shot. If you want to write Internet comedy, my personal suggestion would be to start here like I did. If you want to do stand-up, go to an open mic night and tell some jokes. See what happens from there. It's as easy as that, minus the easy part. That brings us to the next point.
#4. How to Build Up the Nerve to Find Out
Photos.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Nobody wants to be rejected. It's that fear that keeps countless people from trying any number of different things every day, but it's an especially imposing threat when it comes to comedy, because the rejection is almost always going to be on a wider scale than usual. Getting rejected romantically, for example, is a personal thing that contains the humiliation mostly to you and the person you weirded out by leading with a story about your passion for taxidermy.
Comedic rejection, though, usually happens in front of a group. Granted, if you're at an open mic night, that group might be just a handful of people, but they will feel like the entire world if they all decide they don't like you.
Writing on the Internet isn't much better, because, unlike at a comedy club, patrons of Internet websites are encouraged to tell you what they think of your performance. Depending on where you're writing, that could mean millions of people with the potential to turn into impromptu critics if their dislike for your work is strong enough that it compels them to comment.
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
Unfortunately, every one of them is this guy.
If the fear of being rejected by a lot of people all at once is keeping you from trying your hand at writing or performing comedy, it's mandatory that you get over it somehow. Some people use alcohol. I can't recommend that, because this is a family show, but if you do go that route, take comfort in knowing that you can just blame the booze if your jokes turn out to be terrible.
And you never know, maybe they won't be. You might find out that you really are as funny as your friends, family, and inflated ego have all led you to believe. In that case, keep this next point in mind.
#3. How to Be Funny (If You Already Are)
Photos.com/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
So you've decided you're funny! Congratulations! The next step I'd suggest you take is to never let anyone tell you what will or will not make people laugh ever again. There is no such thing as a topic that's off limits, and there is no particular way of delivering a punchline that has fallen so out of favor with people that it's no longer a valid form of comedy. Those who say otherwise are just acknowledging the fact that some people are funny in ways they'll likely never be.
Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty
Like how no one will ever be funny in this way.
For example, Cracked gets plenty of flack for putting almost everything we produce into a list-based format. A lot of it, unsurprisingly, comes from aspiring comedy writers who feel that working within the constraints of the "Cracked voice" limits their ability to be funny. Those people are wrong. Not being good at comedy is what's limiting their ability to be funny. Plenty of people have to tailor their work according to the needs of the people who pay them. Welcome to having a job.
If it seems like I'm overly sensitive about this, it's because I am. It doesn't bother me that some people say lists aren't funny, though; it bothers me when people say anything can't be funny anymore. If a trick or technique or topic or premise has been used successfully in the past, someone out there is capable of still using it to entertain people.
Hell, even someone who uses an outdated form of comedy in a terrible way stands a chance of finding an audience. If you don't believe that, please PM me an explanation for how Jeff Dunham isn't changing oil for a living.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
It's a mystery to us all.
Clearly, I'm not saying all comedy is good comedy. Unfortunately, bad comedy has its fans, like anything else. What I am saying is that if you think there's a form of comedy out there that's been done too much to be used effectively by anyone anymore, for better or worse, you're wrong.

Working midnights at the police department can be busy at times, but often, it is quiet. To pass the time, Laura Walkup started writing short stories in between calls.
A friend read her work and encouraged her to write more.
The stories expanded into novels. In 2008, Walkup left a position with the Bryan (Ohio) Police Department to become a full-time author, releasing her first novel, "Inherited Revenge." She was named a National Novel Writer's Month winner for 2011.

Laura Walkup, a 1989 Lakota High School
graduate, recently released her third novel.
The cover to Laura Walkup's new novel, 'Site R Ravenrock.'
That year, she also published a second novel, "Storms of Azveron." Walkup has been working to complete another 50,000-word novel by the end of November for the 2012 competition.
Her most recent publication is "Site R Ravenrock," a science fiction thriller. It was released Oct. 3.
The author grew up on a small farm near Fremont and graduated from Lakota High School in 1989. From there, she went on to Terra Community College to complete an associate's degree in criminal justice and take a job with the Tiffin Police Department.
"My earliest literary influence would have been Mr. Doty from Lakota High School. His own passion in the literary world opened my eyes to the possibilities of writing my own novels," Walkup said.
She and her husband, Ben Walkup, and their five children now reside in the village of Pioneer, in Williams County. On a family vacation in the western U.S., Walkup noticed some unfamiliar military installations
and asked her husband what they were.
"He explained they were nuclear missile silos. Later on, I needed a similar location for my book 'Site R Ravenrock.' I started researching silos and fallout shelters I found the Ravenrock facility. ... It was designed to house and support Congress in case of a nuclear attack. It was the perfect place for my character to hide from an alien," Walkup said.
The self-published novel was released by Create Space Publishing and is available for sale at Amazon.com An independent publishing company for Amazon, Create Space allows independent authors to spend as much or as little on publishing and promoting their works as they wish.
"My books are printed on demand (POD) as orders are completed through online retailers like Amazon and Tower Books," Walkup said.
More authors are turning to independent publishing. Walkup said the process is not overly complicated, but the writer must be familiar with computer programs. Her advice is to complete the manuscript and do research on various companies to see what they offer.
"I read about them online. I put a list together and compared them. For me, Create Space fit my needs the best. The biggest benefit for was Amazon.com's distribution. My work is available to purchase in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe," Walkup said.
Each company has different directions and formats for manuscript submissions, page layouts and cover art. Walkup said it is important to follow the company's directions.
When she was preparing her first book, it took a couple days to get it formatted the way she wanted it, but her third book was completed in one afternoon.
"Three days later, I was holding the first copy in my hand. It does get easier as you progress," she said.
Walkup is working on another novel, "Dark Wyoming Skies," and "The Unimaginable," a series of short stories.
As e-readers become more popular, sales trends suggest e-reader sales will overtake traditional print books within the next few years. Walkup's works are distributed to iPad, Nook, Sony Reader and others.
After the first of the year, the author plans to schedule some book signings for people who still prefer to own hard copies of their favorite books.
Walkup's books are available for sale at www.Amazon.com and for e-readers at smashwords.com. Inquiries can be made by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEW CUMBERLAND - The Hancock County school board has postponed the auction for Newell Memorial Field indefinitely.
"We just need more time to consider other proposals and other courses of action," board President Jerry Durante said. "The best thing to do is to hold it off."
The board met behind closed doors with county political and economic development officials Monday night to discuss the sale of Newell Memorial Field.
After meeting in executive session, board members voted 4-0 to postpone the auction, which had been scheduled for Nov. 30. Board member John Manypenny, who is opposed to the auction option, abstained.
For the first hour of the meeting, the board and Superintendent Suzan Smith met with Hancock County commissioners Mike Swartzmiller and Dan Greathouse, and Patrick Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle.
The BDC is the chief economic development arm of Hancock and Brooke counties. Neither the commissioners nor Ford would comment on their discussions with the board as they left the meeting.
The board called the special meeting to discuss options for the sale of the Newell property and Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton. Both stadiums are no longer needed by the school district now that Oak Glen and Weirton high schools have new multi-sports complexes.
The Newell stadium was scheduled to be sold at public auction at 10 a.m. Nov. 30 in the school board room in New Cumberland.
The Chester Volunteer Fire Department bid on the 4.25-acre property at the first auction, on Oct. 25, but its bid of $50,000 was rejected. The minimum bid for the stadium has been set at $250,000.
Also interested in the property is Newell businessman Tommy Ogden, co-owner of Builders Wholesale in Chester.
Neither Ogden nor Chester fire Chief John Hissam was at the Monday board meeting.

Even though they're in the middle of a divorce, Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli are on the same page when it comes to parenting their three daughters.
"We are great parents together," Garth, who is mom to Luca, 14, Lola, 9 and Fiona, 5½, tells PEOPLE, "so when it's about the kids, it's wonderful."
The actress, who has raised their daughters on the couple's ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, Calif., for the past 1½ years, says she made sure their daughters knew their decision to split was not easy.
"They know the heartache that's behind all of this," she says. "They get it. They're doing surprisingly well."
"We make it very clear to them they don't have to choose sides," she adds. "They can go wherever they want and be with whom they want."
Garth is even considering giving up life in the country and moving back to Los Angeles, where Facinelli currently resides. "I want the girls to have more access to their dad," she says, "and I like him to be able to pick them up from school. I just want everyone to be healthy and happy."

It wasn't by grand design, lifelong dream or fate. No, Shawn Bloomfield's career choice stemmed from simple economics, or the lack of them.
He was 14, it was bow season and he had just bagged his first deer. He wanted the buck mounted but couldn't afford the $200 to pay a taxidermist, so he did the next best thing - he combined what his father taught him about tanning hides and the talent he inherited from his artist mother with a little mail order help.
"I ordered a kit, a squirrel-mounting kit from Van Dyke's [Taxidermy Supply], and I haven't stopped since," he said.

Shawn Bloomfield displays some of his work at his showroom in Bloomville.
Through trial and error - he chose the self-taught method over paying up to $13,000 to attend a special school - the 1997 Wynford graduate turned that money-saving endeavor into a moneymaker, opening Bloomfield's Taxidermy 12 years ago and operating it out of rural Bloomville home.
Though definitely something he enjoys, Bloomfield said he made the same error about it that many others do when they think of taxidermy - that it's a seasonal, come-and-go kind of career.
The truth, he said he soon learned, was just the opposite for full-timers.
While hunting seasons are seasonal, they lead to plenty of work.
Deer seasons, for example, often lead to customers bringing 150 projects to his shop. It's not so bad during the early part of archery season, when customers can expect a turnaround time of two to three months. But when gun season hits, the deer come in faster while the turnaround time slows to three to four months.
Bloomfield said it's common for him and his full-time worker to skin and prep 20 deer in a day for three weeks straight.
Then there's waterfowl, which also brings in federal regulations, along with turkey, fish, bear, raccoon, big game animals, all sorts of birds, and even pets. If it walks, crawls, flies or otherwise moves, it can be preserved in a variety of ways - full or partial body mounts, hide tanning and freeze drying.
And if that's not enough, Bloomfield's shop also takes care of tanning jobs for 20 to 30 other taxidermists, handling more deer, along with steers, buffalo, elk, etc.
Toss in 11-hour workdays and it's anything but a make-your-own schedule job.
"I thought it would be great, I would take whatever day off I wanted and I can go fishing or whatever. I've got two boats; I've got one up on Lake Erie and one here and I can't hardly ever get on them. I'm out here," Bloomfield said.
Even "here" can be work.
His shop is actually three buildings. One houses the main office and showroom, one is used for tanning and another houses the machines for freeze drying, fleshing, screening and tumbling skins.
He plans to construct one large building to house everything. In fact, that's been on the drawing board for a while, but the constant workload has made it all but impossi

It has been a little more than a year since Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo pledged $1 billion to bolster the Buffalo Niagara economy, but local development officials say it will be several years before the "Buffalo Billion" starts paying off with a hoped-for flood of new jobs and investment.
While state and local officials said Thursday they are confident that the plan developed for the Buffalo Billion eventually will lead to thousands of new jobs and billions in new investment for the region, it won't be a quick fix for the local economy.
"These things take time. They take investments," said Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy, who was in Amherst on Thursday for a meeting of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, which is spearheading the plan for capitalizing on the state's $1 billion pledge. "The seeds that are planted today are going to grow," Duffy said. "We want a long-term return. This is not going to turn around overnight."
Indeed, it may not be until 2015 – or maybe even later – before the initiatives start injecting new vigor into an economy that has seen little growth over the past decade.
"Over the next three, four or five years, we should see movement in the trajectory," said Christina Orsi, the regional director for Empire State Development in Buffalo. The makeup of the $1 billion – how much will be cash, or tax breaks or low-cost power – has remained vague.
The plan for the Buffalo Billion, developed by the council over the past year with help from consultants at the Brookings Institution and McKinsey & Co., focuses on building support centers for local businesses and funding programs that will help the Buffalo Niagara region become a bigger player in targeted industries, from advanced manufacturing to health and life sciences and tourism.
It also puts an emphasis on developing a skilled local workforce with abilities matching the needs of the region's employers, as well as encouraging start-up businesses and revitalizing downtrodden neighborhoods and communities. Rather than focusing on individual projects, the plan mainly concentrates on building a base of facilities and programs that will help create an economic environment attractive to private investors in those targeted industries.
While council officials laid out the basics for their strategy behind the Buffalo Billion two months ago, and released a more extensive version of their plan Thursday, the details of the funding behind the initiative remain vague. The state has allocated $200 million for the initiative so far, but the only project that has been designated to receive funds from it is a $50 million incentive for Albany Molecular Research to open a $250 million drug research, development and testing center on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz noted that the plan behind the Buffalo Billion does not emphasize investments in individual companies, and he pointed out that the Albany Molecular project accounts for a quarter of the funding that has been released for the initiative so far.
"Twenty-five percent of the money that's been allocated is going to one project, but it's not part of the strategy," Poloncarz said.
Howard Zemsky, the local developer who serves as co-chairman of the development council, said the Albany Molecular project fits within the strategy because it is aimed at spurring the development of the life sciences industry – one of the sectors targeted for growth under the council's plan.
"It's consistent with it, but that one company is not embodied in the plan," he said. "We have to seed the medical campus with private-sector jobs."
Poloncarz, in response, called on the council to disclose more details on how the Buffalo Billion will be disbursed among the targeted sectors, from advanced manufacturing to tourism and life sciences.
Zemsky said Buffalo Niagara's economic woes – ranging from a dwindling number of local jobs to high unemployment and wages that are only keeping pace with inflation – didn't develop overnight, and it's not fair to expect those problems to be resolved quickly, either.
"If you want to transform that picture, you need a thoughtful approach that takes advantage of our strengths and recognizes our weaknesses," Zemsky said.
Zemsky said he believes the strategy behind the Buffalo Billion is sound, based on research that identified segments of the economy where the region has a competitive advantage over other parts of the nation and the world. But for it to work, it also will take patience. "It takes some time and some commitment, and it takes some sticking with it."
"We're not encouraging willy-nilly, random investments in areas that are not our strength," he said. "I look at this as an economic lifeline for Western New York. If we just throw stuff at it, if we don't come up with a proper plan, we will have squandered the greatest economic opportunity for the region since the Erie Canal."
While Cuomo, in his State of the State address last month, referred to the Buffalo Billion as a 10-year project, Duffy said the timeline for the initiative, originally targeted as a five-year plan, has not changed. Duffy said the 10-year reference was made because some of the projects that are part of the Buffalo Billion may not be completed until a decade from now.
"He mentioned that to make sure he didn't cut short the time frame needed to complete any of these projects," Duffy said.
Because of the plan's long-term nature, Buffalo Urban League President Brenda McDuffie said residents may become skeptical of the Buffalo Billion initiative.
She urged the council to make it easy for the public to track the progress of the projects that are part of the initiative. People need to see things," she said. "Until they see it in action, they don't believe it's real."

After 30 years at its prominent Broad Street location in downtown Nevada City, Cirino's Bar & Grill will close at the end
of January, said owner Jerry Cirino.
Some of the restaurant's menu items and staff will be consolidated into Cirino's Grass Valley location, which has been open for a decade at 215 West Main St., Cirino said.
"We made our mark serving food we eat at home," Cirino said of the initial locale at 309 Broad St. "We're not closing because of a lack of business."
Increased labor costs that are "detrimental to small businesses" prompted him to consolidate his restaurants, Cirino told The Union Wednesday.
"We need to reduce the number of employees," he said. "The state and federal government has taken the most valuable asset of a business (employees) and made it a liability.…
"They have disrupted, irreparably, the triangular relationship between customer, employee and employer."
Cirino's Nevada City location employs 30 people, Cirino said, adding that he expects many of them to retire as they only work a couple of days a week.
"Some of them are 10- to 16-year employees," Cirino said.
"I will find employment for (the others). I won't stop until every person is employed."
After a "couple of months" of contemplation, the decision to fold the Nevada City location into Grass Valley's Cirino's was made because the latter of the two has more room for expansion, Cirino said, adding that he intends to add at least five positions in the transition.
"The future of the Grass Valley site and its size is … conducive to this decision," Cirino said.
Along with the transition, Nevada City's Cirino's pizza, Gorgonzola burger and Bloody Mary recipes will also head over to Grass Valley.
Cirino does not plan to continue to lease the Broad Street location. And although he said the employees are his top priorities, he said he will miss the loyal patrons who have frequented the restaurant.
"We see the grandchildren there of people who proposed in there," Cirino said.
The younger of Cirino's two sons, Ryan, manages the Nevada City location's kitchen.
Older brother Tucker is co-owner of the Grass Valley restaurant, Cirino said.
"It is a lot easier to make decisions when somebody else is pushing you off the cliff, than
it is to turn around and make that decision before being pushed off," he said.
