This morning's press conference offered the chance for It's Only A Play's cast to speak openly about the project for the first time.
BroadwayWorld.com has released the first video interview, giving each of the play's stars a chance to share their thoughts on the process so far.
Watch the full interview here (Rupert appears around the 7 minute 30 second mark) and read a transcript of his interview below:
Q: What's it been like so far?
A: I still can't really believe it. In rehearsal, just looking around the room and seeing these people...it's just really overwhelming. I'm very grateful and lucky to be a part of it.
Q: What made you want to come to Broadway and do a play?
A: I guess it all started with Mojo, a play I did in the West End. That was my first ever theatrical experience; before that it was just school plays and pantomimes. I really fell in love with theatre from that, it's a very different way of acting. I absolutely loved it and I wanted more.
This script was so funny, and it was quite fascinating to have that inside look into backstage. I've never been to one of these parties [refering to the play's staging] either! So it's interesting for me.
Also, seeing the relationship between the creatives and reviewers, I think it's interesting for an audience to see that.
I was hesitant with the cast, because they're such amazing people, I didn't feel that I was really worthy of it. It took a little while to convince myself that I could potentially keep up with them!
Access Hollywood was also on-hand to interview Rupert today. Giving an in-depth description of his character, Sir Frank Finger, Rupert describes the experience thus far, mentioning that the chemistry between Broderick and Lane is 'electric'.
During the interview rounds, Rupert also cited It's Only a Play writer/director team Terrance McNally and Jack O'Brien as 'really lovely, amazing people' adding that he is 'constantly in awe of everyone'.
Trust.org features a small snippet too, with Rupert describing his character Frank, saying:
"He's a very complicated, deeply troubled man. So it's something I've always wanted to try."

Modifying Traditional Medicare's Benefit Design Could Reduce Federal Spending But With Cost Tradeoffs Between Beneficiaries and The Federal Government
Revamping traditional Medicare's benefit design and restricting "first-dollar" supplemental coverage could reduce federal spending, simplify cost sharing, protect against high medical costs, decrease out-of-pocket spending for many beneficiaries, and provide more help to those with low incomes — but would be unlikely to achieve all of these goals simultaneously.News Release Read More
Modifying Medicare's Benefit Design: What's the Impact on Beneficiaries and Spending?
This report examines an approach to reforming Medicare that has been a focus of Congressional hearings and featured in several broader debt reduction and entitlement reform proposals, and was included in the June 2016 House Republican health plan. The analysis models four different options for modifying Medicare's benefit design, all of which include a single deductible, modified cost-sharing requirements, a new cost-sharing limit, and a prohibition on first-dollar Medigap coverage. The analysis models the expected effects on out-of-pocket spending by beneficiaries in traditional Medicare, and assesses how each option is expected to affect spending by the federal government, state Medicaid programs, employers, and other payers, assuming full implementation in 2018.Report Read More

Although recent etymology has added "-s" to this word, Mayhap is actually a 16th century term meaning perhaps or perchance. It is actually a derivative of the phrase "may happen" and not a portmanteau of "maybe" and "perhaps".

Residents in Tottenham woke this morning to scenes of devastation after a night of rioting and looting left parts of the North London suburb in smouldering ruins.
At least 26 police officers were injured after a march in support of a man shot dead by police last week escalated out of control. Homes had to be evacuated, as an Aldi supermarket, numerous shops and flats, two police patrol cars and a double-decker bus were set ablaze.
For much of the night mounted police and riot officers could do little more than hold the line as several hundred masked youths armed

This was no academic political debate over same-sex marriage. When Wyoming senate candidate Liz Cheney weighed in against gay marriage, it was personal. Her sister, Mary, is gay and married to her same-sex partner. Even conservative icon and family political patriarch Dick Cheney wouldn't cross his own family on the gay issue.
But Liz Cheney did, and it prompted a family feud. Now, she has ended her primary challenge to Republican incumbent Mike Enzi, citing family issues, Fox News is reporting.
He is the text of her statement bowing out of the race:
"Serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, I have decided to discontinue my campaign," she said. "My children and their futures were the motivation for our campaign and their health and well-being will always be my overriding priority. ... Though this campaign stops today, my commitment to keep fighting with you and your families for the fundamental values that have made this nation and Wyoming great will never stop."
The statement leaves it unclear whether the family feud over Liz Cheney's same sex marriage comments played any role. So you decide:
Speaking on "Fox News Sunday" this past November, Cheney said "I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage" and "This is just an issue in which (Mary and I) disagree."
This drew a strong response from Mary Cheney and her spouse, Heather Poe:
"Liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when Mary and I got married in 2012 - she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us," Poe wrote on Facebook at the time. "To have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least."
Mary Cheney added: "Liz - this isn't just an issue on which we disagree - you're just wrong - and on the wrong side of history."
The dispute even prompted a statement from the former vice president and his wife Lynne, which affirmed that "Liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage. She has also always treated her sister and her sister's family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done."
Background according to Fox News: Cheney had also struggled to mount a formidable campaign against the incumbent senator, and polls had shown her far behind.
So did Liz Cheney make the wrong political calculation in coming out against same sex marriage, especially when her own family is a symbol of the changing political tides, even among Republicans, on the issue?
Debate this hot political news in the comments.

Fabulous Perennials
Perennials are the wonderful leafy plants that put on gorgeous displays of flowers and foliage. Their enormous variety of colours, shapes and characteristics offer an incredibly wide range of combinations and potential applications. Plus some perennials have added benefits too such as lovely fragrance, or they attract butterflies or are suitable for use in cookery or as a cut flower. In short, with perennials in the garden it's a celebration all year round!
The term 'perennial'
Perennial means a leafy, herbaceous plant with non-woody stems. Perennials have underground roots and form fresh stems, foliage, flowers and seeds above ground every year. Most perennials die back above ground in the autumn and overwinter underground. They grow back bigger every year. They spread sideways in all sorts of ways, but because most of them die back above ground each year, the height tends to remain the same. However, there are an increasing number of varieties which remain green in winter and do not die back above ground, but which are still herbaceous.
Flowering times
The range of perennials is the broadest of all plant groups and gets bigger every year. The average flowering time for a perennial is three weeks. The peak flowering period is in the summer months. The classic perennials borders in the gardens of the large country houses are always at their finest in June and July up until mid-August. Plus you can avoid the border looking dull after that by making sure that you plant a good spread of flowering times which go beyond the main season. Having said that, there are many perennials that will bloom for a number of months with a little deadheading. A few I like are coreopsis Zagreb, dianthus Firewitch, salvia Cardonna, hardy geranium Jolly Bee, and gaillardia Goblin.
Perennials in the border
A good border is designed in such a way that there is something to enjoy every season. By spreading the flowering times effectively you can enjoy continuous flowering throughout the year. The size of the border determines how much colour it can offer at the same time. Perennials and shrubs are usually the most important elements in a border. A planting plan needs to aim at attraction and interest in the border even outside summer. So ideally, there should be no 'flowering gaps' caused by the fact that most plants achieve their peak at around the same time.
Perennials in late summer and autumn
Spring and summer are the glory times for perennials, but they can also brighten up the autumn substantially. The emphasis during this period is on perennials which are at their best from late summer onwards.
Look out for:
• joe pye weed (Eupatorium),
• yarrow (Achillea) with its fernlike foliage,
• windflower (Anemone),
• Some perennials are still in full colour in autumn, whilst others are already developing attractive warm autumn colours. One nice combination is Sedum with any Echinacea (coneflower).
• Asters and mums are the autumn flower par excellence. They come in a host of colours. Plant with late ornamental grasses like Miscanthus Graziella or Japanese blood grass for a dazzling show to delight all the senses.

At the beginning of this stage, immediately switch to the bazooka-carrying Clonetrooper and take out the large silver pillar on the left side of the wall. Next, switch to your commander trooper and use his special power to gather the other clones, then direct them to fire on the gold pillar on the right side.
Next, have Obi-wan use the Force to guide one of the thermal detonators up the zig-zagging path to the droid gunners on both sides of the wall.
Now, assemble the turret mount with the pieces lying in the center of the area, next to the gold box, then switch to your commander trooper again and direct the clones to fire on the box until it explodes. Reassemble those pieces into a turret gun and blast a hole in the wall to proceed to the next area.AT-AP Joyride
About mid-way through the alley, assemble the Lego pieces and satellite dish to call down an AT-AP, then hop in and use it to destroy the droids and the large silver gate at the end of the path.
Switch to your bazooka trooper and destroy the five silver fences that are blocking alcoves with orange switches sitting in front of feed troughs.
In the next area, head to the left and blow the barricade off one of the doors there to release a probe droid, then destroy it. Next, run over to the right side of the closed gate and destroy the barricade there to find another probe droid, which you also need to destroy.
Head back to the front of the closed gate and reassemble the pieces of the probe droids you destroyed into two grapple points on either side of the gate, then grapple them both to open the door.
Opening the gate will unleash five creatures that will commence to attack your party. To quell them, you can either damage them enough that they fall (allowing you to ride them) or just use Obi-wan's Force power to subdue them. Ride all five of them to the orange switches and feed troughs to open up the next area.Get Out of Jail Free
In the next hallway, pull the second switch to open the second jail-cell, then switch to a clonetrooper and pull the two orange grapple points on the wall to access the adjacent cell.
In the next cell, use your bazooka trooper to destroy the silver blocks and boulders blocking the exit, then switch to Obi-wan, cut a hole in the back wall and Force-push the large box in the back corner down the track.
Head back out into the hall and knock down the two panels hanging on the right-hand wall, then use the Force to put them in place on top of the purple sections of the track.
Push the block around the bend in the track and then up against the wall where the console is. Switch to a trooper and jump up on the block to use the console and open the door to the last area.The Younglings
Run into the next area and attack the droid cannon on the right until you can commandeer it, then shoot the two cannons (one normal and one silver) on the opposite ledge. After the first two are down, run to the left and jump into the second cannon to take out the other silver one across from it.
After the third cannon goes down, a silver shielded tank will burst through the wall on the far side of the area. Run over behind it and pull the switch to deactivate its shield. Run back over to one of the cannons and shoot the tank until its silver armor explodes, allowing you to go in and destroy the ray shield it is projecting over the children.Minikit Locations in Free Play ModeMinikits 1 and 2
There are five large purple flowers and black boxes scattered through the first area of this stage. Destroy all ten to collect two Minikits. The first purple flower is on the right side of the beginning part of the stage and the second is just right of the landing pad for the AT-AP.
The third flower is on the left side of the path just past the large silver gate (and you may accidentally step on it with the AT-AP without noticing.) The fourth flower is directly in-between the two left-most silver fences.
The final flower is on the far right side of the area, next to the door of one of the buildings. Next, search for the chimneys on the building rooftops along the alleyway. The first one is near the beginning of the alley on the right side - use Jar Jar to get on top of the buildings if you're having trouble.
The second chimney is on the left side of the alley, just over from the first one. If you continue up the buildings on the left toward the silver gate, another chimney will be on the last building.
Jump back over to the rooftops on the right side of the alley to find the next chimney. The final chimney is also on the right side, just past the silver gate that you have to blow up with the AT-APMinikit 3
Also in the starting area, you'll find five chimneys on the rooftops. Use the dark side of the Force to lift a Lego piece out of each for another Minikit. The first box is on the left side at the very beginning of the alley. The second box is just past the first one, only up on a rooftop.
Keep heading down the left-hand rooftops to find the third box near the silver gate. A fourth box is in the area past the gate in the far right-hand corner, near the silver fence.
The last box is directly across the area, in the far left-hand corner. Destroying all five will net you another Minikit.Minikit 4
About halfway down the alleyway, look for some debris coving a console on the right and destroy it. Use your protocol droid to open the door to the hut here. Inside, use the Force to lift the Lego blocks on the floor to the purple board in the wall, showing the younglings that " 2 x 3 = 6," who will then stand on four switches to uncover the next Minikit.Minikit 5
In the large area past the alley, jump up on the roofs of the right-most buildings, then walk over the small stone bridge to the left. Once there, switch to a bounty hunter and use the console to reveal the fifth Minikit.Minikit 6
Once entering the jail, enter the first cell and use the Force to align the pipes on the wall for another Minikit.Minikit 7
Enter the third jail cell switch to a Force user to cut through the back wall and extract the large block there, then walk into the hole to find the next Minikit.Minikit 8
Push the large block from the third cell to the wall on the right, then switch to a small character to crawl through the vent, coming out on the other side next to a Minikit.Minikit 9
After entering the last area, switch to your gatling gun character (or a Force user to pick up a super battle droid) and destroy the gold blocks on the left to uncover a Minikit.Minikit 10
Finally, using either your bazooka trooper or one of the droid cannons, blast the silver antennas on building just left of the tall smokestack. Run over and reassemble the pieces into a dish that shoots the final Minikit out of the smokestack.GO TO ASAJJ VENTRESS 6: LIBERTY ON RYLOTHGO TO COUNT DOOKU 1: BATTLE OF GEONOSISGO TO COUNT DOOKU 2: GUNGAN GENERAL

The Milwaukee County Zoo introduced two new jaguar cubs to the public today.
Mom, Stella, led the two cubs into the public exhibit for the first time in front of a large group of onlookers.
The cubs were hesitant at first, but were soon happy to explore the new surroundings.
The cubs were born on November 13, 2012.
At their first veterinary visit in January the cubs weight around nine pounds, now they are close to 20 pounds.
In the wild jaguars can grow to be 250 pounds.
Average lifespan in the wild: 12-15 years.
Jaguars are carnivores.
Click here to follow the Milwaukee County Zoo on Facebook.
Pat, the father, and Stella (pictured here) produced the first jaguar cubs in Milwaukee since 1975.
Pat is in a separate enclosure. He is 14 years old and was a wild-born rescue in Belize.
There was even a children's book written about Pat. It was a joint venture between Milwaukee-area and Belize children as part of the SHARP Literacy program.
The book "Pat the Great Cat, A Jaguar's Journey" is available at the zoo's gift shop.
Since Pat was wild-born his offspring will brings new genes to the North American zoo population.
As the cubs get more comfortable with the public they will be on exhibit more. Currently they are on public exhibit 10:30am-1pm daily.
Prior to today, Stella and the cubs were only available for viewing on a webcam.
There will be a public naming contest to name one of the cubs.
The other cub will be named with the help of the Belize school children that co-wrote the book.
For more information about the naming contest sponsored by Jenkins Jaguar and Wisconsin Jaguar Ltd auto club click here.
Only names that reflect the heritage or history of the jaguar will be considered.
Both cubs are males.

USF football has a familiar face back at workouts Monday, as safety Spencer Boyd, suspended at the end of last season then announced as being gone from the team in January, has convinced Skip Holtz to allow him back with the Bulls this spring.
It's not a permanent return yet, but Boyd, a rising sophomore who played sparingly in 2011, will have this spring to re-establish himself with coaches. He has remained on scholarship for the spring semester, but will pay his own way for classes this summer, with his scholarship status to be reviewed for the fall semester. He was suspended from USF's final three games last season for what Holtz called "in-house things."
Boyd, who forced a fumble on a kickoff return that was returned for a touchdown against Ball State, could help provide depth for the Bulls at safety behind projected starters Jon Lejiste and Mark Joyce and top backup JaQuez Jenkins. He came to USF in 2010 after a semester at Notre Dame, so as a second-time transfer, his opportunities would likely have been limited.
USF opens spring practice March 21, with spring games slated for April 14 and 21.

Introduction to "three strikes" copyright infringement rules in Dragon*con EFF track
Clifton Tunnell, a patent attorney registered to practice before the USPTO and associate of Anderson Dailey, LLP in Atlanta, GA and Andrew Norton of the United States Pirate Party and previously Pirate Party International, presented "Three Strikes and You're Out" in the Electronic Frontiers Foundation (EFF) track at Dragon*Con 2010. They gave an overview of the graduated response program in the entertainment industry to pursue file sharers and online copyright infringement.
"Graduated response" means each time a copyright holder finds an infringement, they increase their response. The first time they find you infringing, you might get a warning. The next time they may
threaten to sue or pursue criminal penalties. The third strike is to cut off your connection.
Digital sharing
Distribution of digital content has only gotten easier over time. In the early years of web sharing, distribution happened over the client-server system. The more people using it, the slower the system was. But now with peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing, speeds and access actually increase with a greater number of users. Trammell demonstrated with the following list, a history of how, since P2P arrived, the two big players in the fight against sharing, the RIAA (Recording Industry of America) and MPAA (Motion Picutre Association of America), have fought it:
- 1999 – RIAA labels sued Napster
- 2002 – RIAA sued Aimster
- 2003 – MPAA studios sued Grokster
- 2006 – RIAA labels sued the developers of LimeWire
Trammell related the story of how the RIAA also filed a lawsuit against (among others), a man named Joel Tenenbaum. They got a judgment of 22,500 per song, resulting in a $675,000 judgment against a 21-year-old. The judge reduced this to $67,500. But a judgment doesn't mean that they're ever able to get that money.
So in 2008, the RIAA announced they'd stop suing individual users. It wasn't worth the time or money. They still send out takedown notices. But instead of dealing with users, they're dealing with the ISPs (Internet Service Providers). And the ISPs generally answer, particularly under a three strikes system, by disconnecting the user.
If you're that disconnected user and live in an area with a single ISP, which is much of the US and much of the world, you're cut off from the Internet. Today that's huge—you're not just losing cute cat videos. You're losing access to things like job applications, banking information, and possibly your work.
Accusation without evidence
Within the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is Section 512(1), is the "Repeat Infringer Provision." It offers safe harbor to ISPs by exempting them from liability for copyright infringement. But ISPs seeking safe harbor must adopt a policy that lets them throttle or terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
Trammell quoted the EFF on the matter:
The DMCA has been used to invade the privacy of Internet users, harass Internet service providers, and chill online speech. The subpoena and takedown powers of Section 512 are not limited to cases of proved copyright infringement, and are exercised without a judge's review.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (which has its own session for discussion at Dragon*Con) is an international treaty to create standards for IP rights enforcement. It's supposed to be a response to the increase in pirated works and is a framework for companies to voluntarily join outside of WTO, WIPO, and the UN. It's also held in secret. Many in the US have sent FOIA requests seeking transparency. There have been leaks and a condensed version that have come out. And earlier this year, they confirmed that mandatory graduated response for signing companies is off the table.
But they've left in the provision that to be under safe harbor, an ISP has to adopt a policy to address unauthorized storage or transmission of materials protected by copyright. This almost mirrors the DMCA takedown provision and in fact used a mandatory three strikes rule as an example.
A big problem with all three strikes provision is the evidence requirement. Very little is required in the way of evidence, other than an allegation, which is one strike. The next allegation is another strike. Not proof—allegation. The allegation is usually based on a screenshot, log, or monitoring program without a chain of custody with no oversight. Presumption of innocence has become the presumption of guilt—the accused must prove their innocence. And it's not a small number of accusations—eight hundred notices went out against Irish broadband users in June alone.
And earlier this year, Ireland became the first country to implement graduated response:
Ireland is the first country in the world where a system of "graduated response" is being put in place. Under the pilot scheme, Eircom customers who illegally share copyrighted music will get three warnings before having their broadband service cut off for a year.
The Irish Recorded Music Association (Irma), whose members include EMI, Sony, Universal, and Warner, reached an out-of-court settlement with Eircom in February 2009 under which the telecoms company agreed to introduce such a system for its 750,000 broadband users.
Norton said that these laws are often passed quietly (in France, for example, it was voted on over lunch). In the UK, it was debated for two hours and voted on the next day.
Norton also gave several examples of cases proving that it is easy to (either mistakenly or intentionally) wrongly accuse someone of infringement. A study in May 2008 by the University of Washington monitored BitTorrent streams and added fake peer info. They created IP addresses and sent them to trackers. They got 281 DMCA notices without sharing a single byte. Some of them were network printers or routers, computers that weren't even turned on.
Tunnell recommended that those who are technologically knowledgeable help by offering to be an adviser to those who represent you.
"Most politicians have the worst name out there. But they really are hard working," he said. "What is so difficult about being a politician is that you're required to be an expert on every subject from farming to business to IP. You need to have a speech ready and have an opinion on everything. . . . They're not technologically savvy and don't understand the issue. But if you call them and offer, 'If you ever want to talk about it, I'd be happy to talk to you,' they're thrilled." These are very confusing laws, particularly for someone who's never studied law, and this is only one thing on a representative's plate.
Copyright was intended in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution "to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
Trammell noted that when the whole point is to promote progress of the arts, that should be the most important consideration in any copyright discussion: Are we, as a result of what we're doing, promoting progress? The three strikes provisions don't seem to be.

this is so wrong.
It took more than one year to pass the bill.
the bill is even defeated a first time by the National Assembly, Socialist Party took advantage of absenteeism of the majority.
the bill has been represented a second time to the Assembly, this time no surprise, it has been adopted.
After that, constitutional council decided that the main part of the bill was unconstitutional (!) - for example, the part which allow to disconnect internet access to home without a judge decision, as the council decided that internet access is a essential part of freedom of speech and communication.
So the bill was revised again.
there were a big opposition, coming from the french web people, the french Socialist party (Parti Socialiste), public associations, even ISP, and the people.
now the bill is done, and we are expecting the HADOPI (the 3strike legal entity) to start sending first emails for this month.
But people are aware that this law is wrong. Of course it's a way to defeat counterfeiting, but people are loosing so much freedom. for example, National Police is not involved in the process to collect evidence: this will be done by private corporation, payed by music and movies label (EMI, SACEM, etc). And if they have your IP address in the list, you are
done, there is no way to prove that this is a mistake. How ? Simply because, they are not punishing people because they can prove you are making counterfeit, but only that you didn't protect you internet access, that's it.
So private police detects people downloading stuff, they keep IP addresses, and then owner of this IP addresses are informed (3strike) that their internet access has done something
bad (!) what ? you can't known. how ? this can't be said. who ? they don't care it's you. sharing home connection with family ? no trouble, the owner can install DPI to watch the communication of his own family..
this french law is wrong, and we are fighting it, technically, legally, economically and politically
if interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HADOPI_law and www.laquadrature.net
my comment was refering to this part:
"Norton said that these laws are often passed quietly (in France, for example, it was voted on over lunch). "
Actualy it summerize everthing.

When Sam Madden set foot on Rutgers campus Saturday, he was shown lots of love -- and not only by Rutgers staff members and players. Rutgers fans and Arkansas coaches also got in on the action, letting the Barnegat (N.J.) standout know just how much of an important piece he is to their respective puzzles.
Madden provided a few examples.
"When we were going down to the field after eating before the game started, the student section was clapping me up (giving me high fives)," said Madden. "And my mom said she heard them go, 'It's Sam Madden!' So I was interacting with them and thinking, 'They love me, they really love me (in his Jim Carrey voice, from the movie The Mask).'"
During the game, Madden was seated next to a Rutgers fan who also recognized the 6-7, 335-pound road grader. The two bonded during Rutgers' 28-24 comeback victory over the Razorbacks.
"This guy sitting next to me said, 'You're Sam Madden, right? We need you. We want you here.' He kept clapping me up, high-fiving every time Rutgers scored," Madden explained. "We were really into it."
An Arkansas assistant even took time out of his team's preparation to run across the field and greet Madden, one of the top-ranked offensive tackles in the country.
"An Arkansas coach was running with his team back into the tunnel before the game," Madden described. "Then he saw me, came over to the Rutgers sideline, hit me on the back and said, 'Hey Sam Madden, we are gonna be seeing you soon.'"
The Rutgers staff, however, has been more proactive in their approach towards Madden's recruitment as they were one of the first few schools to actively recruit him. And they recently kicked their efforts up a notch when head coach Kyle Flood took a ride to Barnegat last week to watch Madden and company practice in-person.
Madden didn't get to interact as much with Flood during the Arkansas battle for obvious reasons. But the acknowledgement he did get from Rutgers' head man was all he needed.
"All the recruits met in the weight room after the game where he spoke to us," said Madden. "He came in and winked at me so I was like, 'Oh, we got the wink!'''
Rutgers offensive line coach Damian Wroblewski made the effort to slip away from his position group long enough to catch up with the Maddens.
"Coach Wroblewski, we saw him before the game and then after the game," said Madden. "We talked for a good 10 to 15 minutes. It was cool."
Rutgers' game day atmosphere played a huge part in Madden's ever-growing positive perception of the program. Fans of the school provided him a glimpse of what the atmosphere at High Point Solutions Stadium could equate to on a consistent basis as Rutgers moves to the Big Ten conference.
"It was unbelievable, it was so loud. The place went wild when Rutgers won," Madden said. "It was the greatest college game I've seen to date!"

I have an already JTAGed Falcon for sale. It has no RRoD hostory, and uses the ALT method of JTAGing.
I'd like $300 plus $10 shipping (I will get insurance as well).
This unit is console only, but $40 can be added to get A/V cables and a power brick. A lot of that price is to cover the increased shipping cost.
Wireless controllers can also be added for $15 each.

Congress must act to keep our Great Lakes healthy
Great Lakes restoration activities have enjoyed bipartisan support for many years. There is nothing controversial about a healthy Great Lakes region. Millions of people enjoy swimming, boating, fishing and drinking clean, good-tasting water in eight states, including ours. Earlier this year, nearly 40 members of Congress – Republicans and Democrats – asked colleagues to support $300 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
Unfortunately, a House of Representatives subcommittee has released a bill that drastically cuts funding for Great Lakes programs. The bill slashes the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by nearly 80 percent – from the current level of $285 million to a proposed $60 million for fiscal year 2014.
Members of Congress around the Great Lakes region have accomplished great things for our lakes. As a staff member of Freshwater Future, I have seen many benefits around the region. Here in Buffalo, work crews removed thousands of invasive plants from in and around Buffalo Creek and replanted several areas with native plants, restoring a wetland and wildlife habitat.
As part of having a healthy Great Lakes, we also need a strong Environmental Protection Agency to implement environmental regulations that are critical. Cutting funding that is critical to the EPA will result in weaker protections for our lakes.
I understand these are tough fiscal times, but times are even tougher for the health of our Great Lakes. The longer we wait, the more expensive and difficult these cleanups and restorations will be. Our communities can't wait for clean drinking water, healthy fishing and safe beaches.

LAS VEGAS - Nevada's unemployment rate has dropped to 10.8 percent, which is the lowest it's been in more than three years.
The November numbers released Friday by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation were well below October's jobless rate of 11.5 percent.
It comes after the state added a seasonally adjusted 9,200 jobs between October and November. That's the biggest month-to-month gain since April 2005.
The unemployment rate in Las Vegas was down to 10.4 percent in November, while Reno's rate was 9.9 percent and Carson City's was 10.3 percent.
Gov. Brian Sandoval says the report is good news, but there's still much work to be done to diversify the state's economy and attract new businesses to Nevada

On Monday last week I had a revelation. And it has to to with business coaching. For me revelation just means I managed to get a better view of the bleeding obvious.
The revelation was that most business owners (in fact nearly everyone) has a completely warped idea of what a system is for in a business. And not only that – (validly?) because of exposure to really bad advice from "gurus" or from their own earlier (failed) attempts at "systems" – they believe without a doubt in their hearts that either:
1. Systems will not work in my business or
2. It is not worth the effort – which is massive, expensive, and difficult.
The revelation – the "Whack a Mole" game. You know it. It is where there is a field where "moles" pop up, and you bash them with a soft hammer. In some versions – the better you get at whacking them – the faster and more unpredictable their appearances become – like a "REWARD" for doing well.
If you have come to this page via the welcome screen – you have already seen the video below, but here it is again. While you watch it – be asking yourself how much of your business life is "spent" intensely dealing with recurring problems/issues/dramas/wastes. And notice that you "deal with them", then move on. After that you just know in the back of your mind that they WILL come back and you will deal with them again. Each time you deal with each one – there is an element of adrenaline fueled excitement. "YOU DA MAN/WOMAN!!" Just like the feeling of whacking a mole… Watch the video. How many "moles" on this board?
Be ready to hit PAUSE as I have set it to repeat. Because that is what happens in your business?
So – how many "mole holes" were there?
A quick count shows there are only FIVE mole holes. Here is a business strategy question for you.
If you blocked over just ONE of the five mole holes – ideally the one that statistically delivers more moles for you to "whack" (you CAN count, right?) – then how much time and energy would you save when playing? More than one fifth, right? And would the game get easier with that one hole blocked? Mmmm.
Now, what if you blocked up another of the mole holes (after humanely dealing with the moles that lived in it)?
If you were able to determine the two most common moles – you may have REMOVED more than 50% of the recurring moles (problems) you regularly deal with. How much less effort would it take to play this Whack a Mole game in the two busiest holes are closed over? It would be starting to get pretty unexciting, right? No real energy required – a bit boring. In an arcade this game would not be played much – too easy.
If the "points" you get in the game were dollars – would become a pretty nice earn? But not very exciting. I wonder how many times the guy in the video could play this game before he collapsed or just stopped because it became too hard? (Consider the huge percentage of new business "failures")
I am not saying that maybe your business is like a marathon level whack a mole tragedy – where perhaps you are so "busy" whacking moles that you do not have time to block over any holes. Because that would infer that you have not been taking all your sandwiches to the picnic?
Let's instead say that you have researching and thinking about the right place to begin and what to do first. There was a best selling book a decade or two back called "Stop the Insanity". It was a fat loss book – and it took about 130 pages to say that everything has a sequence, a process. You want to alter you body shape – change the procedures that affect it.
If you want to want to kill off a mole or two (or all of them) – then just look at the processes that come before them. Then just change the process so you get the result you want. Let's use a real example.
In a client business, we recently discovered that two or more separate orders were going to a major supplier on a single day. This was wasting a stack of cash in freight – because the supplier sent them "separately". The procedure before was to simply send the order every time they needed a component. The new procedure – send the order ONCE per day near to but before 3pm. This meant that extra items could be added to the order form (it was an actual order form!). A calendar reminder went off at 3pm as a reminder. This minimized the freight cost, and still ensured the order was received by the supplier before the daily cut off.
That was pretty straight forward, right? Not rocket science? Most procedures are that simple. Some are not – and need the use of checklists, procedures, narratives (where you explain each step of a procedure fully so that anyone past Grade 6 can do it consistently.)
Some moles are not frequent enough to deserve any attention.
And then you only have to "not lose" the intellectual gold you have plucked out of thin air. Again – to use the whack a mole analogy – just create a map of the holes you blocked up.
You can go all space age and use video to record your procedures, and "process maps", or whatever you want. The point of this article is to suggest that despite your past experiences, and what you may have been told by a well meaning parent or mentor – you CAN do this. You just need to wake up to the fact that the moles control whack a mole – and you just react. Being great at reacting is fine for a while – but just like in the video – it is hard work, then the same hard work again and again.
So – that's all I wanted to say today. Hope it helps you.
You are welcome to contact me – there might be space in my coaching roster – or if not I will do what I can to guide you. In terms of my coaching program – consider this – I can get a truly great return out of working on my own businesses – doing the same things that coaching makes my clients do. I enjoy coaching and I learn much faster because of it. And doing it for 13 years has helped me become a truly "kick-@ss mole hole buster!
Go back now and review all the information above. Watch the video again a few times – and look for more meaning that relates back to your business. Don't overcomplicate it. You CAN make your business rock – and the first part is usually getting rid of the moles so you have energy and desire to spare. Once that happens – you then get to play with multiplying it.
ps for every mole you find – be sure to step UP above your business and look at the CONTEXT (or environment) that allows your little mole to exist. This makes you separate from the mole – and you can see the holes better.

This ranges from systems development to copy writing and price strategies.

In his coaching practice James has also avoided the pitfalls of becoming a specialist "niche" business coach who only deals with a narrow range of businesses. This means that over the last decade he has worked with many different industries – and thus has the ability to "cross-pollinate" processes that work from other industries to yours. Coaches who work with only one industry can tend to become blinded to the valuable tools found in other industries.
James invested 7 years with one of the biggest coaching franchises in the world before deciding to move into his own unique direction and style. This means James has massive insight into the operations of successful franchises – which you can borrow and apply in your business. Or, if you already are in a franchised business – how you can get the best value from it.
James's clients regard him as the "go to guy" in Townsville due to the changes that they quickly find both in their businesses and in their lifestyles.
As your guide, James will guide you through his individualized program to get you the results that you want.

I am pretty sure we will never see footage of Harry Greb...
I am or was in contact with a guy who is very well connected within fight collectors. (I mean I am also well connected as far as fight films and boxing docus are concerned, but I mean this guy is REALLY well connected)
I won't say his name cause it doesn't really matter but he played a mayor role in creating the ESPN Boxing library, so he has access to more old boxing Newsreels or other old boxing fights than pretty much anyone else. And this man told me there REALLY is no footage of Harry Greb.
So....for all of us still thinking that some day we might sit on a couch and watch rare, previously unseen footage of Greb (or Langford or Charley Burley), ....I have to tell you guys I don't see it happening...

There was definitely fight footage of Greb vs Tunney. The late Jim Jacobs, one of the most important figures in the sport's history when it comes to boxing footage, talked about this in an interview. He found somebody who had the footage and the person send it through mail to Jacobs but it got lost on the way over and was never found again. Huge kick in the nads for old school boxing fans.

I would like to personally torture every postal worker who handled that footage. That's all kinds of messed up.

Let me guess, you talked to him on Tysontalk.com? Steve "can't let go" Lott isn't the least bitter source you can use, lets just put it that way.
And of cource there is no footage because the one piece of footage that was made of a Greb fight has been lost, as you know.

the greb - walker fight was filmed, but the 1920's film has decomposed to the point of being completely useless.

A "dream" opportunity lured Gwyneth Paltrow away from her two kids and back to the big screen this year.
Coming out of mommy retirement for Iron Man was easy, Paltrow said, given the chance to costar with Robert Downey Jr. (She plays his assistant, Virginia "Pepper" Potts in the comic book brought to life.)
Working with Downey "has always been a dream of mine," said Paltrow, 34, who also admitted her previous knowledge of comic books was limited to "my brother's Underoos in 1982."
Playing assistant to a super hero seems to have given Paltrow super strength. The actress – on the mend from recent knee surgery – sported a pair of vertiginous silver heels to promote the flick at Comic-Con in San Diego Sunday.
"Don't show my non-orthopedic shoes," Paltrow joked to reporters. "I got off the crutches two weeks ago and the cane yesterday and I've been doing a lot of physical therapy and I'm seriously not supposed to be in these shoes, but that's okay."
Paltrow began shooting Iron Man in April – after a full-blown body assault.
"I was like a post-baby nightmare," she says of her shape when son Moses was born on April 8, 2006 (daughter Apple is 3). "So I worked really, really hard. I had an amazing trainer and I worked out twice a day and did dance cardio and felt like a complete nerd and I just really worked hard. I got into shape. And there you go. I was ready to go."
"It was great for me to have that break," she added of her time off from work. "I really needed that break and I've come back to the whole world with such an appreciation for it."

Gwyneth Paltrow Comes Out of Mommy Retirement

Towards the end of his career, the late, great Jack Rosenthal wrote a television play called Eskimo Day, about the feelings of dislocation and emptiness that come when you see your children off to university, letting them go out into the big world without you. Quite a lot of people reading this column have, I suspect, experienced Eskimo Day in the past month.
For me, it's still a while off. But I have had a small taste of it. Because, this month, my eldest son went to secondary school for the first time. And it was a wrench to watch him go, with his huge rucksack, carrying his rugby kit and his own text-books.
Lots of thoughts went through my head about the experiences he still has to come but it did also make me reflect on the extraordinarily close community that he has now moved on from - the Moriah Jewish day School, where he attended primary school and where we still have two boys.
It hadn't been our intention, originally, to send them to a Jewish school. I hadn't been to one and, frankly, the idea hadn't occurred to me. I worried we'd be sealing them off from the world. But when we considered our options in the area, it soon became obvious that the best choice was Moriah. And - here's the thing - that the reason for that was precisely its Jewish nature.
A few weeks ago, I agreed to speak at a celebration of the achievement of establishing Jewish schools. And I do so with the zeal of a convert to the cause.
The first reason for my conversion was that Jewish schools provide parents with the one bit of choice they really have. They provide a learning environment and are infused by a spirit that is the creation of our small community.
They aren't just identikit schools printed out by officials at a Whitehall department. There is a sense of parental involvement, responsibility and control. Together, we shape our schools and define them.
I always get very cross when people look at the state system and determine that the problem is that we have too many schools like Moriah - built upon the beliefs and ethos of the parents - when it is obvious that the real problem is that we have too few schools like that. I note wryly that the people making that case often send their own children to private schools.
The second reason for my conversion is more prosaic. My children learned and are learning about the Jewish people and their religion.
The foundations are good ones and will last them for life. Yes, they do this when there are other things they could be doing. But, honestly, of all the things I learned as a child, the knowledge of my religion has turned out to be the most useful, and the least easy to pick up later in life.
And then, finally, there has been the impact on the community itself. My observation is that, across a generation, having a Jewish school has strengthened the bonds between Pinner Jews, and (this is hugely to the credit of the United Synagogue in Pinner) strengthened links between Jews of different denominations.
All this is important to say, because it is not as if the critics of the Jewish school building programme have nothing to say worth listening to.
If I can start with the simplest point, I am a little concerned (I hope there is someone keeping an eye on this) that we don't become so enthusiastic that we build more schools than the numbers can take. This would end up weakening all the existing schools. I don't want to stop any community enjoying what we enjoy, but, well, as I say, I hope someone is keeping an eye on it.
More important still, we need to understand that, while we are gaining something priceless, we must be careful to protect ourselves against what we might lose.
The Jewish community has done so brilliantly well because it is integrated. As more and more children go to Jewish schools, it means there are fewer Jews in other schools and more people, even in north London, growing up having never met a Jew.
This isn't a knockout problem (after all most people, even now, haven't met a Jew), but it is something we have to be aware of and to work at. But I am sure we will.

Artists sometimes find inspiration in unlikely places.
Lifelong artist and Hollidaysburg resident Penelope Wilson, along with her 11-piece exhibit currently on display in the Bottle Works Ethnic Art Center in Johnstown, are great examples of this.
Wilson's exhibit, which features painted collages made with recycled materials, was inspired by an article she read in Pennsylvania Magazine about secret quilt codes used to communicate with slaves traveling the Underground Railroad.

This painting,"Let Freedom Ring" by Penelope Wilson, shows a collage quilt background inspired from?Norman Rockwell's painting?"The?Problem We All Live With." The figure in the painting represents all people.
Penelope Wilson
"I learned from reading the article how symbols sewn into quilts may have been use to help escaped slaves move north to freedom," Wilson said. "This led me to research this mystery of secret symbols. I found quilts were used to hide symbols into the overall patterns."
The bit of history fascinated Wilson so much that she incorporated it into her art. A quilt, or a pattern that mimics those in the quilt codes, are found in each of the paintings. The collection beings with an homage to Harriet Powers, a famous African American quilt maker, sowing a quilt in a rocking chair in a piece called "Harriet at Her Quilt." It ends with "Let Freedom Ring," which has a collage quilt background, as well as the colors of the American flag and a figure that "represents all people," Wilson said.
The quilt, and the history of the quilt codes, are the main storyline in the exhibit, she said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "A Painting is Worth a Thousand Words" exhibit, featuring the paintings of Penelope Wilson and the mixed media art of Gregory Rance Thompson.
When: Through Feb. 29
Where: Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center, 411 Third Ave., Johnstown
Details: Exhibit is free and open to the public. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
"I thought that was interesting, that something you see every day, a utilitarian object, was actually used to help, to warn, to tell [slaves] there was a safe place to stay," Wilson said. "It's interesting that what we take for granted every day had a history behind them."
Wilson uses recycled materials like paper, plastics and metals in her own style of repousse, or metalworking. She said taking a green approach to her art, including using recycled paper and wood harvested from well-managed forests, is important to her because otherwise many of these materials would end up in a landfill.
"With everyone going green, it's just silly for you not to also sort of embrace that," she said. "Just the little things people throw away, you can use and make something really beautiful."
An example of this can be seen in her piece "Nia Liberty," where the figure who was modeled after the Statue of Liberty boasts a flame made from the films of discarded overhead projectors. For her green efforts, Wilson's work "Let Freedom Ring" was selected by the National Collage Society as part of their national exhibit "Green and Global Exhibit," being shown online.
Rosemary Pawlowski, executive director for Bottle Works, said Wilson's green initiative is just one of the reasons that make her exhibit a "gorgeous body of work."
"Her work is really so strong," Pawlowski said. "It speaks for itself."
Bottle Works is happy to house the work of a local artist that also fits in with their mission to "preserve and celebrate the cultural diversity of the peoples of this region through their arts," according to the center's website.
Pawlowski said she hopes the work of an artist with Wilson's stature will help to draw more people to the center to appreciate not only the exhibit, but how it makes the viewer think.
"I think she challenges the viewer to see something other than what they first see," she said.
Pawlowski added she is glad that the exhibit could also coincide with both Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month.
"This particular body of work just speaks so clearly to African Americans and their struggle for recognition and for freedom," she said. "I think [Wilson] demonstrates her sensitivity to that in this body of work."
The exhibit, also featuring the mixed media of Johnstown resident Gregory Rance Thompson, will be on display at Bottle Works through the end of February. Wilson's work will also be on display at the Anderson House in Bedford for the month of June to celebrate Junteenth, or June 19th, the day of African American Emancipation from slavery.
