text: ''Flaky Pastry'' is a webcomic by Félix Lavallée, which started in 2005 and is ongoing, with updates every Friday. It's a LowFantasy SitCom featuring the (mis)adventures of three college roommates, who have to deal with landlord dragons, vindictive halfling mages, impossibly large dungeons, and a whole host of other ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''-esque characters and situations.The three main characters are:* '''Nitrine''', an unusually intelligent (read: about as smart as an average human) goblin girl with green hair. Loves inventing things with dubious purposes. Later learned to make clones of herself (or anything she wanted) using her imagination. * '''Marelle''', the TeamMom, who is addicted to learning and has been studying at the university for a very long time. Has UnusualEars, making her look suspiciously like a CatGirl, but [[BerserkButton try telling her that]].* '''Zintiel''', a sociopathic High Elf. Not strictly a student, but tags along with Nitrine and Marelle when she's bored. Surprisingly strong, and a dab hand with apocalyptic magic. Was due to be married to an Elven prince but ran away on their wedding day. She and Nitrine had previously crossed paths several years back.''Flaky Pastry'' can be read [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/index.php here]].----!!''Flaky Pastry'' contains examples of:* AltText: Starting from [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=92 strip 92.]]* AmazonianBeauty: Zintiel.* AncientArtifact: The Transcendental Reality Rearrangement Device.* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: The "Croissant's Corner" strips, where SeriesMascot Croissant presents [[AllThereInTheManual extra info on the Flaky-verse,]] [[FourthWallMailSlot interviews with the characters,]] (mostly) non-canonical nonsense, and other manners of filler.** Also, the 100 milestone comics. With the exception of the first one, they're ADayInTheLimelight for various side characters.* AntiMagic: [[spoiler: The Cavernball stadium.]]* AnythingThatMoves: Nitrine.* ArtifactOfDeath: Again, the Transcendental Reality Rearrangement Device. Though it's unclear if using it would cause someone to die, [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=52 what it does]] certainly sounds like it would cause death, and not just that of the user.* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Pretty much Zintiel's entire family. They act like your typical royal family with plots and intrigue, but underneath the surface is a very close loving family and not even a God of chaos can break their bonds.* AxCrazy: Zintiel, so much.** Prism, too, but only [[spoiler:when her true prime directive, "Rainbow Love Child", is activated.]]* BadassBookworm: The neighbour.* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor** To elaborate a bit [[spoiler: Kurt, Nitrine's human boyfriend, becomes irritated by Nitrine's seeming disinterest in a serious relationship. Nitrine, who is a goblin, sees the world [[BlueAndOrangeMorality differently from Kurt and does not operate by the same standards.]] Thus, Kurt chooses the only logical option --[[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood brain washing]] -- and changes it so that Nitrine will operate by human standards of decency. Zintiel explains why this is actually a [[FridgeHorror really bad idea.]]]]* BerserkButton: Never call Marelle a cat-girl.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mona Theist, of the Sisters of Holy Retribution.* BeyondTheImpossible: In a world full of magic, things still generally follow the laws of physics. [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=68 Unless you're Zintiel,]] anyway. She has no respect for gravity or Euclidean Geometry.** For the record, she managed to sculpt a Necker Cube- which is an ''impossible optical illusion''- and managed to change the direction of gravity so she was standing on the wall. Magic can explain the gravity part, but ''nothing'' will make her sculpture make sense.* {{BFS}}: Sister Mona carries one around with her in a guitar case.* BiTheWay: Nitrine.** Marelle and Zintiel, as they don't show obvious attraction to women at first, but [[spoiler:are married in a later story arc which takes place 400 years into the future, while present!Marelle does eventually confirm that she is indeed sexually attracted to Zintiel.)]] * BlindingBangs: Tracy Ace.* BringMyBrownPants: Tares could have benefited from wearing some darker clothes [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=78 here]].* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler: Zintiel's Chaos powers are blocked while she's inside the Cavernball dome.]]* CatGirl: Marelle, though she insists that she is not one, and [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=127 gets annoyed]] when people suggest it.* ChekhovsGunman: The [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=312 penguin thief]] was the indirect cause of a whole story arc, as explained in the commentary on that page.* CheshireCatGrin: Pretty much Zintiel's default expression. If she's not wearing one, she's either asleep or [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness something has gone wrong.]]* ChurchMilitant: It's not really clear if Sister Mona Theist is this or a BadassPreacher. Given she belongs to the "Sisters of Holy Retribution", and considers it appropriate behavior to go around swinging a {{BFS}} at "evil doers", it's probably ChurchMilitant.* CleavageWindow: Nitrine's super-suit has one.* ClingyJealousGirl: Morgana.* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tracy Ace, the university professor.* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Something terrible, [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=345 indeed]].* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: Mona [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=155 turns a little boy around]] before she draws her sword against Zintiel.* {{Crossdresser}}: Leslie, a very androgynous male, who is often mistaken for a girl. This might have something to do with his part-time job as a ''[[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=57 barmaid.]]''** [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=199 Later on]], he's MistakenForGay.*** Leslie is however [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=357 'very' guilty of missing gender as well.]]* CuteLittleFangs: Nitrine.* CuteMonsterGirl: Nitrine, a female goblin, looks like a short, cute woman with green hair and lips. The male goblins are classic goblin ugly.* ADayInTheLimelight: Most of the 100 milestone comics are this.* DisproportionateRetribution: Mona attacks Zintiel with a sword for stealing a kid's ice cream cone.* TheDreaded: Zintiel has garnered a bit of a [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=470 reputation]]...* DungeonCrawling: The trio had to do a supposedly 100-floor dungeon crawl to retrieve a {{Mac Guffin}} in the earliest story arc.* EmperorScientist: Future Marelle uses her knowledge of just about everything to take over.* TheEveryman: Kurt. His relationship with Nitrine is said to be his one oddity. Well that, and he's kind of short at only five foot four.* EvilChancellor / SmugSnake: The goblin [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=402 Vizier Reptilis]] is an archetypal example of both of these.* EvilCounterpart: The "Rivalkyries" arc revolves around this. Prism is the counterpart to Marelle, Morgana is Nitrine's, and Mona is the GoodCounterpart to [[HeroicComedicSociopath Zintiel]].* ExtendedGreetings: All royal elves have multiple stacked titles to their names, by which they are introduced. The ones in Zintiel's family have six or seven each. * EyeScream: Nitrine defeats a troll by shooting it in the eye.* FakeOutMakeOut: "I should [[ChekhovsGag hide]] [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=71 my]] [[http://flakypastry.runningwithpencils.com/comic.php?strip_id=328 face]] or something."

While the whole media world is worrying about an increase in student loan rates (a program which allows us to help fund other peoples children in college), few bother to address the real culprit here — the colleges. They continue to raise tuition rates, unrestricted, year after year. While heartless in this respect, the colleges are not stupid. Years ago they discovered that as they raise rates, the government increases student loans and grants.
Once it worked, they adopted the practice of doing it every year no matter what their real on campus costs are ... and sure enough, the politicos rose to take the bait and bumped loans up again, again and again. Gravy train for the schools; higher taxes for the rest of us.
Stop increasing funding, and the tuition rates will stabilize or fall. Try it!

'Ladies, Sigh No More' is laugh-out-loud funny
THE POST-SIGNAL / Saja Hoffpauir
Members of the cast and crew of "Ladies, Sigh No More" are, front row from left, Samantha Wright (director of hair and makeup), Sabrina Hanks (stage manager), Katt Barousse (Ophelia), Lauren Babineaux (Desdemona); middle row, Zach Wright (Jamison the orderly), Adelle Arceneaux (Dr. Wells), Jessica Clayton (Juliet), Dilyn Stewart (Kate), Rachel LaCroix (Lady Macbeth); back row, Julia Sittig (house manager), Madelyn Arceneaux (multi-character understudy), Michaela Jabusch (Cordelia), Sidney Gilder (Lady Anne), Wyatt Kennedy (mysterious man) and Patrick Cormier (director).
By Saja Hoffpauir
Lifestyles Editor
Theatergoers who catch the Teen Acadia Players' production of "Ladies, Sigh No More" at the Acadia Parish Center for the Arts and Culture next week will not be disappointed.
The comedy is set in an inpatient psychiatric ward (or possibly purgatory) and features a variety of Shakespeare's leading ladies working through their personal issues to bring closure to their theatrical lives.
The show is wonderfully cast, and all of the players bring their characters to life. Katt Barousse makes it clear that Ophelia "out-crazies" everybody, and Michaela Jabusch is a perfectly bored and cynical Cordelia. She is rivaled
only by Dilyn Stewart, who, as Kate, brings a new meaning to the term "shrew."
Lauren Babineaux's portrayal of ditzy Desdemona is spot-on, as is Rachel LaCroix's ambitious noblewoman Lady Macbeth. Likewise, Sidney Gilder does an excellent job of mimicking the nervous, naive behavior of Lady Anne.
Jessica Clayton is outstanding as Juliet and does some of most realistic fake crying ever witnessed.
Adelle Arceneaux, as the psychiatrist trying to fix them all, rises to the occasion.
As for the two male players, Zach Wright hams up the role of the obviously put-upon orderly, Jamison, without overdoing it, and Wyatt Kennedy is, in fact, a "mystery man."
The show is laugh-out-loud funny and intriguing until the end.
Showings will begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 13-16, and there will be a special 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 13. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students with school I.D.s, and they can be purchased through www.theacadiaplayers.com and on www.facebook.com/acadia players.

Sleepwalk with Me Comedy
- Summary

- Events
'I'm going to tell you a story and it's true… I always have to tell people that,' so asserts comedian-turned-playwright-turned-filmmaker Mike Birbiglia directly to the viewer at the outset of his autobiographically inspired, fictional feature debut. Birbiglia wears his incisive wit on his sleeve while portraying a cinematic surrogate. We are thrust into the tale of a burgeoning stand-up comedian struggling with the stress of a stalled career, a stale relationship threatening to race out of his control, and the wild spurts of severe sleepwalking he is desperate to ignore.
Based on the successful one-man show, "Sleepwalk with Me" engages in the kind of passionate and personal storytelling that transfigures intimate anguish into comic art. Produced and co-written by Ira Glass (NPR's "This American Life"), "Sleepwalk with Me" features a stellar supporting cast that includes Lauren Ambrose ("Six Feet Under"), Carol Kane ("Taxi"), James Rebhorn ("Meet the Parents"), Cristin Milioti ("30 Rock"), and a sampling from the who's who of today's stand-up scene.
Bursting with sincerity, Mike Birbiglia's foray into the medium marks the invigorating emergence of a strong and poignant American voice, at once hilarious and heartbreaking.

A Mount Pleasant man was arrested early Thursday in Charleston after a traffic stop and subsequent search of his vehicle turned up a large amount of cocaine and cash, according to Charleston police officials.
Justin Arthur Rivers, 22, was stopped on Meeting Street near the intersection with Jackson Street after a Charleston police officer spotted a car drifting in and out of its lane of travel.
It was orginally reported that Rivers was from Moncks Corner, but Charleston police officials released a corrected statement late Thursday saying Rivers was from Mount Pleasant.
The officer noticed a smell of marijuana coming from the car after it was pulled over. A search of the suspect and his vehicle found 111.5 grams of cocaine, 10.2 grams of cocaine base, 80.6 grams of marijuana, more than $3,400 in cash, two handguns and an assault rifle, according to the police report.
Rivers is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, trafficking cocaine, trafficking cocaine base, unlawful carrying of a handgun and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.

The Internet has afforded dog owners all kinds of useful and increasingly essential resources, from forums where we can chat with each other about common problems, to learning about the latest dog food recalls, to finding the dog of our dreams. But the Internet has also become a substitute dog trainer and veterinarian, which can lead to some hairy problems (pun intended).
Trial and error in dog training can be part of the fun of learning about your dog's preferences and learning capacity, so I'm not completely opposed to long-distance "ask the trainer" websites, but trial and error in a veterinary situation can have fatal consequences. The common wisdom in dog circles is that a dog should have a yearly check up, at minimum, with your local veterinarian, ideally the same doctor who will see your dog if there's ever an emergency.
These days, there are loads of "ask the vet" websites springing up, where you can have a veterinary question answered for $25 to $50 or so, depending on the complexity of the question and the urgency in which you need the answer. These fees are far less than a veterinary visit, but is it worth the cost to your dog's health?
Yes, going to the veterinarian can be pricey. No one is going to argue that. And trying to "cut canine corners" is understandable in this economy, but the veterinarian is not the place to start chopping.
"You can get some initial advice, but this should not replace going to your veterinarian and having a full history of your dog taken, where the veterinarian will perform a physical exam of all of your dog's body parts," says Dr. Patrick Mahaney, a veterinarian practicing in Los Angeles.
"These sites might be useful if you have a pet that is otherwise healthy but has a minor health issue, and you're perhaps in a location or it's a time of day when you can't contact your vet or an emergency vet hospital," continued Mahaney. "Maybe your pet has a bump on the skin or a skin rash – if you can upload a photo, that's useful. The question you might want to ask is, 'Is this something I have to deal with now, is it an emergency, or can this wait till I can contact my vet in the morning?'"
Dr. Mahaney makes a point – perhaps these services are good for very minor things, and maybe they can save you a trip to the vet (or postpone it, so you don't have to go the emergency route), and the expenses that come with it. I perused six of these "ask a vet" sites and found that some of the questions were what I would consider to be reasonable for a vet to answer in this type of forum, such as "Are tomatoes bad for my dog" (they are fine), and "My dog ate chicken poop, is this a problem?" (don't make a habit of it). I know that I wouldn't want to rush to my local (and expensive) emergency veterinary hospital if my dogs ate chicken poop – in this case, it would be useful to know, from an online expert, if I was dealing with a life-threatening situation, and what to look for in case the chicken poop had an adverse reaction of them. But when should you not login, and instead head straight to your vet?
"Your pet has collapsed, may not be breathing, your pet has had a seizure, your pet is vomiting or having diarrhea – these are symptoms that you shouldn't be typing into a website, you should be going to the vet," says Mahaney. "If your pet has ingested something you think might be toxic, there are better places to contact right away, such as The Pet Poison Helpline (24/7 Animal Poison Control Center, 800-213-6680, $39 per incident fee) or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control hotline (888-426-4435, $65 consultation fee). Yes, you pay a fee, but you connect directly to a veterinary toxicologist."
Another aspect of "online veterinary medicine" is the legality of treating a patient a vet has never seen.
"From a legal perspective, in California, it is illegal to diagnose, treat, or prescribe anything to a pet if you haven't done a physical exam on the pet within a 12-month period," says Mahaney. "There's typically a disclaimer on these sites that says that 'this does not replace going to your veterinarian.'"
Dr. Mahaney is right. I found a disclaimer on each of the six sites I perused. Most of them say that the site was for "entertainment purposes" only, and that the site was not held responsible for any medical, legal, or financial outcomes attached to the answers it provided. The disclaimers also say that the sites are not a substitute for emergency veterinary medicine, nor a substitute for a hands-on veterinarian. One of the sites had its disclaimer buried so deep in its pages, it took at least 10 clicks to find it.
One of the sites' legal disclaimers was so long and complex, it looked like a team of lawyers had drawn it up. One of the clauses was about their "experts," and stated that they were not responsible for the veracity of their experts – in other words, the site did its due diligence to find out whether or not the person answering your question was indeed a veterinarian, but they aren't 100% sure.
"One of the things about these services is that you're not actually always asking a vet," said Dr Wendy McCulloch, a veterinarian in New York City who answered questions for one of these sites for a short time. "The way it works is that you can register as an expert. People who have been on there longer, whether they are a vet or not, have seniority, so when someone posts a question, that person can override everyone else, and now the vet tech who has always thought that he knows more than the vet, can answer. I tried this for a couple of days before I realized what it was all about. I thought it might be a good thing to help someone with their pet on the other end, perhaps someone with a simple question, rather than clogging up an emergency room. Some questions would be too complex, though, and there are certain conditions that this doesn't work for. I gave up because it became very snarky rather than helpful. I would look at some of the "expert" profiles and realize that the person wasn't a veterinarian."
Despite her experience with the site, Dr. McCulloch says that she believes that these sites may OK for certain questions, like basic nutrition questions, but not for emergency situations.
"Someone might write in and ask, "I've noticed that my pet started doing something strange, is this something I need to follow up on, or is it normal?'" says McCulloch. "In terms of trying to make a diagnosis, it's not going to work. Taking a good history is a key part of the consult as a vet – using your eyes, ears, and hands. The physical exam is really important. People forget that we do put our hands on their pets and that's a huge part of veterinary medicine. Use these sites with a bit of common sense."

Identity theft can spoil good credit just as effectively as loan defaults and missed payments, those who attended the Senior Fall Festival learned. The event, sponsored by Senior Ambassadors, was Oct. 18 at the Amarillo Civic Center.
In addition to receiving medical screenings and information about health and fitness, Alzheimer's disease, retirement and home health services, those attending the festival had the opportunity to sit in on two sessions of "Be Smart: Protect Yourself.''
In the sessions, Janna Kiehl, executive director and CEO of the Better Business Bureau, gave tips on how to protect yourself from identity theft - the unlawful, illegal and unauthorized use of your personal information for someone else's gain.
While thieves can use actual stolen credit cards for profit, they also can obtain your social security number to get a card or loan under your credit. They may do so because their own credit is bad, and then they may ruin your credit as well - even if you've always been careful to maintain it, Kiehl said.
In the second session, she advised on how to make safe charitable donations. In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, some new charities have been soliciting for funds, but not every solicitation is going to be legitimate, Kiehl said.
When dealing with a charity you haven't heard of before, don't give out your Social Security or credit card numbers to a caller over the phone, and ask for documentation about the charity. Illegitimate solicitations will be long on emotional appeal and short on what specifically the charity will do with the money, Kiehl said.
You can call the Better Business Bureau at 379-6222 for help verifying a charity.
A few easy tips to help protect your personal information:
Use official U.S. postal receptacles - not a residential mailbox - for mailing anything with your social security, credit card or checking account numbers on it.
Photo copy the fronts and backs of your credit cards so that you'll have their numbers and 1-800 numbers handy if your cards are stolen. Keep the photo copies in a safe or safety deposit box.
When you go out, only carry cards you'll need for that outing. Leave any excess credit cards and your Social Security card in a safe place.
If your wallet or purse is stolen, call the police, your bank and credit card companies, and the Better Business Bureau.

Junk Food Linked to Memory Loss: Study
By PTI - MELBOURNE
Published: 17th December 2013 02:08 PM
Last Updated: 17th December 2013 05:09 PM
A team of Australian researchers has found a link between junk food and memory loss.
The researchers from the University of New South Wales placed rats on a diet high in sugar and fat and compared their performance with rodents on a healthy diet.
Lead researcher Margaret Morris said the rats on the poor diet developed an impaired memory after just six days.
"Poor diet was associated with a cognitive decline that happened very quickly. So within six days of the diet, the animals performed less well on a spatial memory task. We were surprised at how fast it was," she said.
It was found that the animals being fed a poor diet also showed inflammation in the brain's hippocampus region, the part of the brain that is involved in memory forming and storing.
"It's a little bit to early for us to say that two are causally related, but we believe that the inflammatory change is probably highly relevant for the cognitive decline," she was quoted as saying by the ABC news.
"So we need to do more work. For instance, what if we prevent that inflammation? Could that preserve the brain function? Those are the sorts of questions we want to ask."
Morris said the memory issues became apparent well before the animals showed any physical symptoms.
The animals of course weren't obese after just six days on the diet. So the changes in cognition, the loss of memory, happened well before there was any weight change," she said.
She said it is hard to say what the implications of the trial could be for humans.
"It's hard of course to extrapolate to humans. But there is data in human volunteers fed a poor junk diet for just five days, that there was a loss of executive function," she said.
"So longer reaction times, for instance."

COLUMBUS, Ohio—An estimated 330,000 Ohioans will see a slightly heftier paycheck in 2014, thanks to an automatic increase in the state's minimum wage.
Starting Jan. 1, Ohio's minimum wage will rise 10 cents per hour to $7.95 per hour, while tipped employees' base salaries will go up 5 cents to $3.98 per hour, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Full-time workers making $7.95 per hour would earn $16,536 per year, $208 more than what they would make this year.
The minimum wage hike stems from a voter-approved constitutional amendment in 2006, which requires annual increases tied to the rate of inflation. Besides Ohio, 12 other states will raise their minimum wages on Jan. 1.
Ohio's changes won't apply to employees working for small businesses or workers younger than 16. They'll continue to be paid at least $7.25 per hour, the federal minimum wage rate.
The 2014 wage increase could increase the state's gross domestic product by an estimated $38.8 million, according to the National Employment Law Project.
Anthony Caldwell, a spokesman for the local SEIU District 1199, said earning 10 cents more an hour might not seem like a lot, but over time the additional money will be noticed by workers.
"When you factor that over the course of the year, that might make the difference between getting something medically done that they had to have done, or buying something for their child," he said.
However, Caldwell said Ohio's minimum wage is still far too low to live on. He voiced support for legislation, currently stalled in Congress, that would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.
Sean Chichelli, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce's director of labor and human resources policy, said it's difficult to say how Ohio's latest wage increase, by itself, will affect businesses. But as the state minimum wage continues to rise each year, he said, employers will find it more difficult to cover their expenses and hire more workers.
"We may not feel the effects of just a 10-cent increase one year, but if it's a 10-cent increase every year or a 20-cent increase next year – you never know – that's going to add up," he said. "Businesses will start to find themselves having more difficulty operating year by year."

Crestwood Midstream Partners (UNKNOWN: CMLP.DL ) is boosting its presence in the West with a new acquisition. The company today announced it has reached agreement to purchase a 50% stake in Jackalope Gas Gathering Services from privately held RKI Exploration & Production. The price is roughly $108 million.
In the press release announcing the news, the acquirer said Jackalope's Wyoming-based gathering and processing system "provides Crestwood with an early stage entrance into the emerging Powder River Basin Niobrara Shale play and positions Crestwood for significant future infrastructure development opportunities across the rich gas and crude oil midstream value chain."
The Powder River Basin is a large geological area spread across southeast Montana and northeast Wyoming. Sections of it are rich in energy resources such as coal and oil.
The other 50% of Jackalope is owned by Access Midstream Partners, which purchased its stake from Chesapeake Energy at the end of last year.
Crestwood expects the acquisition to close in Q3 of this year. It is subject to approval from regulatory bodies.

Data on the roentgenographic appearance of the esophagus in infancy are meager. The only extensive study is that of Henderson1 on the newborn. He found that the esophagus at this age appears as a straight or fusiform tube with smooth contours. The lower half nearly always distends to a greater size than the upper, and there may be considerable stasis in this portion.
This series consisted of 32 infants, ranging in age from 3 weeks to 22 months, chosen at random from the wards at Bellevue Hospital. All infants were well at the time of examination and were free from gastrointestinal symptoms. Several had recovered from minor infections.The regular feeding was omitted, and in its place a mixture of barium sulfate and acacia, sweetened with sugar, was given.2 The mixture was made thick enough to drip through a 2 mm. nipple opening at the

Police responded to a call in East Oak Cliff on Monday to find a deceased man hanging out a window.
The man was still hanging from the window on the side of a worn-looking, pink paneled home in the 2200 block of Morrell Avenue late Monday afternoon. His feet and lower body were out of the window, but his upper body was still inside the home.
A white police truck and officers partially blocked him from view.
Cathryn Pipkins said that police told her that her son, Deyfon Pipkins, 33, was shot breaking into the home. She said she has not seen the body.
Authorities had not confirmed the man's identity. Police have provided no details.
Cathryn Pipkins ran past police cars and through the crime scene Monday and shouted, "Where's my baby at?"
After speaking with police, she stood outside the home, behind the yellow crime tape and flashing police cars that surrounded it, and cried.
"If they let me see him, I can tell them," she said. "I'm strong enough for it. I told him if something like this happened, I would be strong."
Police have not given a statement yet.

Field Guide and the New Amsterdams
loud-rock rulers Swiss Army on some kind of indefinite hiatus, singer/guitarist
Andy Lund has started up a new project called Field
Guide. Shying away from the punk stylings of Swiss Army, Field Guide
is a little gentler on the ears. The sound is still big, but the hooks
are rounder, with Incommunicado's Adrienne Vaughn providing solid
vocal counterpoint. The fourth-grader in me just loves seeing boys and
girls playing nice together. It should make for a good pairing with headliners
the New
Amsterdams, who are really just the Get-Up Kids with acoustic guitars.
Or Reggie and the Full Effect without '80s keyboards. The ratio
of heart-on-sleeve/tongue-in-cheek is about all that changes among the
various projects, but don't think it means they have delusions of
grandeur: to their credit, the New Amsterdams' Myspace page says
they sound like the Get Up Kids. Which is partly true: They slow it down
and country it up, while retaining some of the venom, and do it all about
a hundred times better than Dashboard Confessional. Nostalgia is equal
parts regret and fondness, and Matt Pryor's best songs have always
broken it down and smashed it back together; violently with the Get-Up
Kids, delicately with the New Amsterdams. "Bad Liar" is a
good example right from its first line: "I told you everything was
fine, but you called bullshit." Expect a night of what Field Guide
claims as influences: Drinking too much, relationship troubles and not
being able to sleep at night. With To Reinvent. 6 p.m. $10/$12.

Brokenheart Jones
Fine Line
Miller and the Old 97's should probably start keeping an eye out,
because Brokenheart
Jones are about to steal some of their thunder. Their recent release,
Sunday's Best, kicks off with some sweet guitarmonies shared
between slide and non-slide guitar and Tim Greenwood's weathered
(but not too weathered; see again, Rhett Miller) voice railing against
a "stupid girl." They strike right into the vein of true Americana,
recalling the salad days of artists like Ryan Adams and Wilco before they
went all wiggy with their sonic palettes. A lot of alt.country tends to
wallow in its crapulence, with every song about drinking, smoking and
crying, but Brokenheart Jones leavens the recipe with a good dose of pop,
even if they sometimes weave dangerously close to the edge with lines
about the inadequacy of four chords to express true love. Come on, boys:
if Bono could do it with three chords and the truth, four is 33% more
to work with. Math problems aside, Brokenheart Jones have got the stuff
to rise up and make a run at the big time. With the Josh
Davis Band. 9:30 p.m. $5. 18+. 318 First Ave. N., Mpls. 612-338-8100.

a fully functioning quiz show set where you can test your knowledge of
popular culture. Amazing. 3515 Raleigh Ave., St. Louis Park. 952-926-8198.

Stephanie Miller,
filling the time slot on Air America formerly held by Wendy Wilde (who's
now considering a Congressional bid in the 3rd District) is apparently
the top female liberal radio commentator in the U S of A (why would her
website lie?). As a comedian and daughter of a well-known Republican,
she has the verbal ammunition to put Fox News commentators in their place—she
says she puts the "broad" in broadcasting and watches Fox
News as a public service, so her audience doesn't have to get depressed.
She is the daughter of former Republican U.S. Representative William Miller,
who was Barry Goldwater's running mate in the 1964 presidential
election. It should be a lively show with her sidekick, political voice
impersonator Jim Ward, on hand. There will be a light lunch reception
after the show, for which reservations are required. 8 - 11 a.m.
Show is free; reception is $25. 300 Washington Ave. SE, Mpls. 952-946-8885.
Crush Kill Destroy
The Turf Club
the first salvo of rusty-stringed guitars whips around you in a quasi-drunken
pas-de-deux on opener "Walter Mondale" from Crush
Kill Destroy's Metric Midnight, you'll probably
think Fugazi. And you'll think it again and again for different
reasons: the democratic way in which off-kilter drums share the spotlight
with the driving bass, the Ian Mackaye-worthy vocals. What makes them
interesting, though, is the way in which they seamlessly blend Fugazi's
latter day tactics (abstraction, instrumental breakdowns) with the spleen
of their earlier stuff. A fan on the band's MySpace
page describes them as "difficool," which is very apt.
Midway through most every song, it seems like the band falls in love with
the sharp angles of a bridge or the weird way a chorus sits against the
verse's drum part and they begin a lengthy meditation on the complexities
therein. It's kind of beautiful and hypnotic, if you're willing
to work for it a little. Power is achieved not through volume, but through
repetition and development. Despite its reputation as a haven for alt.country
and classic rock, the Turf Club makes a surprisingly warm fit for math-rock,
so come on down, drink your drinks, and smoke your smokes (outside). With

Life & Work of Avatar Meher Baba
Macalester College
Avatar Meher
Baba, the God that rock-god Pete Townshend of The Who recognized as
a perfect manifestation of Infinite Consciousness, gained notoriety in
America during the 1960s for taking a strong stance against drugs and
coining the phrase, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." But Meher
Baba's unparalleled life might best be described as "All Walk,
No Talk," since he maintained a 44-year silence traveling thousands
of miles by train, plane and on foot to spread his message of love and
truth. To celebrate his life the Meher Baba Center of the Twin Cities
is presenting a special screening of "God in Human Form: The Life
& Work of Avatar Meher Baba." Local writer Leah Johnston kicks
off the event by sharing her explosive personal story of "coming
to Baba." A brief panel discussion follows the film. 3 p.m.

dust, wind and distance: the desert. In the Western mind, Arab and African
countries remain places of civil wars, refugee camps and deep poverty.
The Walker Art Center sponsors the spiritually seductive musical group,
Touareg people of the southern Sahara. Torn by French colonialism and
later divided between Mali, Niger, Algeria, Mauritania and Libya, the
members of Tinariwen had been armed rebels living in Libyan refugee camps.
But in 1982 they traded their guns for electric guitars and began making
music that's been dubbed "desert blues." It innovatively
mixes raga-like rhythms that echo sounds of India and offers chant-singing
reminiscent of Arabic prayer or Son House, with blues licks that carry
a memory from Middle Passage slave ships that traveled to Mississippi.
Unlike anything you've ever heard, Tinariwen is the exultant cry
of exiles, both ancient and utterly now, that provoke action against displacement.

If there are two truly international musical genres, they're reggae
and hip-hop. Although the two usually don't converge, an extraordinary
lineup of local talent may change all that.
Truth Maze, a Twin Cities innovator affiliated with the MN
Spoken Word Association will perform pieces from his debut CD Expansions
& Contractions. In addition, Pee Wee Dread from Dred
I Dread, King Ras John from Belize and West Bank rapper Shiz will
show their stuff. David Daniels, Reggae Theatre Ensemble founder and spoken
word artist, hosts. (Given the response to his last solo work, Black Hippie
Chronicles, one can hope that he'll share pieces from it as well.)
With this much talent in one room, it's sure to be an exhilarating
evening. 8:30 p.m. $8. 21+. 501 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-338-6424.
There's a new art posse in town: Pilot is a consortium of 12 artists

This weekend Pilot is hosting an exhibition at their temporary gallery
space in Uptown. Michael Sweere, one of the artists, said the group is
using the space for three or four months, and will change displays monthly.
After that Pilot will host events elsewhere in the Twin Cities. "The

millions in California. The march begins at the St. Paul Cathedral at 2:30
p.m. and goes to the state Capitol. It is sponsored by a broad coalition
of labor, civil rights and community groups. Also, take some time in the
next few weeks to see "Esperanza
Rising" at the Children's Theatre. It's the story
of one young immigrant from Mexico and the development of her understanding
of the promise and the reality of the American dream as manifested in migrant
camps in California in 1930 and '31. It's a triumph of
the human spirit and an indictment of racist exploitation. We need
theater like this. We need to march in solidarity with our Latin brothers

The mid-1990s fights to stop the Highway 55 re-route through Minnehaha Park
became far more than protest. Unexpected allies discovered each other: due-to-be-displaced
homeowners, old hippies, environmentalists and youth anarchists stood with
Indigenous people to fight for land they've considered sacred for
centuries. Encamped for 18 months, "the Minnehaha Free State"
was as much about re-imagining a future liberated from corporate commodification
as it was about land preservation. Ellie King, a teenage participant who
called herself "Freedom," has written an eyewitness account
of the experience entitled "Listen: The Story of the People of the
Taku Waken Tipi & Re-Route of Hwy 55 or The Minnehaha Free State."
King hosts a book-release party, reunion and celebration that includes food,
an art and photography exhibit and a cabaret of readings and performances.

BUIES CREEK — A three-hour lockdown of Campbell University's main campus was lifted just after 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, after a law enforcement incident with a student in his on-campus home ended peacefully.
According to Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins, deputies apprehended Jared Dale Knight, 24, after lengthy negotiations for his surrender, which began when Knight locked himself in his home located across the street from Campbell's Lundy-Fetterman School of Business. Deputies had tried to serve arrest papers on charges Knight stole merchandise from a Fuquay-Varina gun shop, where he was employed.
Law enforcement notified Campbell University of the situation, and by 1:50 p.m., a campus-wide lockdown was ordered. Students, faculty and staff were told to remain in their classrooms or residence halls with all outside doors locked. They learned of the lockdown through the campus' emergency notification system, which sent direct messages to University email accounts and cell phones. Students were also notified through social network sites and Campbell's main website.
University Vice President of Advancement Britt Davis said the lockdown was issued as a precaution, and University officials did not believe any other students or staff were ever in danger.
"I think the system worked very well for us," Davis said. "We've never had anything like this happen on campus before, so we're pleased with how smoothly the notification process went."
Police blocked off all access to Dr. McKoy Road and the northern portion of the Buies Creek campus for over three hours during the negotiation process. Rollins said Knight surrendered peacefully shortly before 5 p.m., and after a thorough search of his home was complete, University officials lifted the lockdown at 5:10.
"Campbell University has an exemplary record as a safe and secure campus," Davis said. "We are saddened about these circumstances, but pleased that our campus community was able to respond calmly and professionally throughout the situation."

I am proud of the CU and HC response.
May the peaceful resolution lead also to this young man receiving the help and guidance he will need.

As parents of a freshman at Campbell, we are so thankful for the resources offered to students and parents and that we learned of the lockdown via the Campus alerts we signed up for in August. We are glad we did not learn of this first in the news therefore we appreciate your quick response to the safety of our students! This alert prompted us to get in touch with our son to find out he was never in any danger! Thanks to the Campbell staff and the Harnett Sherriff's Department!
By David &Melanie; Everhart on November 11, 2011 - 8:46am
Too often, emergency planning and preparedness is put on the back-burner. I'm very glad to see that Campbell had a plan and put into action. Thank-you.
By Ann Cooper on November 10, 2011 - 10:12pm
Both of our children are students at Campbell University. Each and every day we pray that our children will be safe. Our faith in Campbell University, faculty and staff as well as the quick response of law enforcement is stronger than ever. Thank you CU!
By Ashley and Don Fish on November 10, 2011 - 1:30pm
The campus alert system sent me a text message alerting me to the lockdown. In my opinion the administration made the right choice in locking down the campus. Better to err on the side of caution. Too many other campuses have suffered losses. As a parent of a CU student I was glad to see the steps taken to protect the campus.

By Lisa Barna on November 9, 2011 - 9:07pm
I am also a Campbell parent and am so thankful for the excellent job done by all law enforcement today protecting our children.
By Kim Weaver on November 9, 2011 - 8:46pm
As a Campbell student, I appreciate the care that was taken to ensure our safety. Yes, it was VERY inconvenient to be 'stuck' on Campus when I was supposed to be home with my own children (30 miles away). However, I am thankful for the rapid response to the situation, the swift evacuation from the nearby buildings, and the e-lert, twitter, and facebook updates which kept us all informed.
One of my classmates used my laptop to quickly sign up for e-lerts this afternoon. I am so glad for wi-fi on campus. Even though we were 'stuck', I was calmed by the connection to news stations and friends.
My daughter will be heading to college next fall, and I hope she will lean more heavily towards Campbell.
Campbell Cares.

I have always liked vegetarian "burgers" as an alternative to their high fat, high sodium meat counterparts. When my co-workers and I decided to go to Chili's for lunch, I assumed that the "Guiltess Black Bean Burger" would be just that...or at least a healthy alternative. It sounded delicious, but when I looked up the nutritional content before we left the office, I was shocked to see that one burger contained 1790 mg of sodium...More than I would like to consume for an entire day!! Since I'm watching sodium content, this was clearly not a good choice and I ordered something else. I figured I could make a much more heart healthy recipe and add some avocado, one of my favorites!

With his re-election apparently in the bag, Gov. Rick Perry is reportedly getting ready to go on a national tour promoting his book, right after tomorrow's election.
That's the latest buzz from Austin, thanks to a Fort Worth Star-Telegram story.
The newspaper reported today that although Perry's book "Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington" will go on sale on Nov. 15, excerpts are now available online.
As expected, the campaign of Perry's Democratic opponent Bill White immediately criticized the 10-year Republican incumbent.
"On the eve of the election, Rick Perry showed Texans again that he's all about relentlessly promoting Rick Perry, as he bragged about launching a national book tour and refused to commit to a 4-year term," the White campaign said in a statement.
And though the most recent poll gave Perry a 12-point lead over White, the former Houston mayor was still hammering the governor just as hard as he has done since even before winning the Democratic Party nomination on March 2.
"He's in for a rude surprise on Tuesday night," White campaign spokeswoman Katy Bacon said.
No word from the Perry camp. Today was the first day since the campaign went in full gear on Labor Day that his re-election campaign didn't issue a press release. perhaps an indication that the governor and his aides think his re-election is indeed in the bag.

Laura Bush hopes Presidential Center will let people 'learn — and relearn'
UNIVERSITY PARK — Former first lady Laura Bush expressed hope Wednesday that the George W. Bush Presidential Center will help people "really learn – and relearn – the history of the first decade of our new century," especially about key moments like Sept. 11.
"People will be very moved by the 9/11 exhibit," she said. "That's important because we still obviously live with the effects of 9/11, both with our security issues we have, as well as just the loss we still live with from that day."
Bush shared her thoughts on the center at Southern Methodist University after media from across the country toured the facility Wednesday morning. Other Bush officials, such as longtime adviser Karen Hughes and national security adviser Stephen Hadley, were also on hand.
And Bush and her husband, George W. Bush, are expected to participate in a ceremony later this morning to hand over the center's library and museum from the George W. Bush Foundation to the National Archives and Records Administration.
"Today this building, including the Rose Garden, will belong to the National Archives and to the American people," Laura Bush said.
To read a few other snippets from Bush's remarks, please see after the jump.
On her favorite part: "I love the Oval Office. It was fun to decorate it when I did that 12 years ago. And so it's fun to see it get recreated here. Same fabrics. Same design."
On the ballgowns she wore as first lady: "It's not that difficult to give up the ballgowns. I'll probably never wear them again anyway. George isn't wild about black tie. [laughter] It was fun. I went through all of my closets. I had brought everything here, and it was in our Dallas house. Recently I went through with the archivist, and I've sent over most of the gowns that I wore to state dinners. I kept just a few things."
On the vision for the Bush Center's: "George didn't want this to be a monument to himself. He said that from the very beginning, from when we first started looking for an architect, before we even picked the museum company, because he thinks that if it's based on one personality, it becomes less and less relevant over time. But it's based on the principles we believe are the most important for our country. So it can stay relevant."
On the most moving part and most fun part: "That big sculptural beam from the World Trade Center and the names of the people who were lost in the wall around it, that's the most moving part to me. But then the happy part is the recreation of the Oval Office. That's fun. Very few people actually ever have a chance to walk into the Oval Office, and this will get everyone who comes through the museum a chance to see what it's like."

SUN CITY CENTER — The Peytons, a singing gospel family, will perform at 6:30 p.m. Friday at United Methodist Church of Sun City Center, 1210 Del Webb Blvd. W.
Don and Karen Peyton were raised on gospel music in Appalachia — Don in eastern Kentucky and Karen in Fenwick Mountain, W.Va. That love of gospel music eventually led to them singing for groups with their daughter Joey.
After hearing one particular performance, a family friend encouraged them to expand their message. They began touring in July 2009 with their first stop in North Carolina.
Now they tour primarily throughout the Southeast, sharing their musical message with the help of guitarist Jim Gulotta, who also serves as the group's computer and sound technician. Their brand of music is described as down-home gospel, and critics praise the harmonies between Karen and Joey.
The church requests a $5 donation for the concert. For more information, call Jeff Jordan at (813) 634-2539.
