Pretty Ugly
In Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Belle is the perfect girl next door. She loves reading and hates douchebags. Like most princesses in the Mickeyverse, however, she has a major flaw. For the brunette beaut, it's Stockholm Syndrome. Fortunately she also has a heart of gold, which sort of excuses the whole falling-for-her-captor thing because we recognize that she cares about inner beauty above all things, kidnapping included.
As Mrs. Potts sings, Beauty and the Beast is a tale as old as time. Because it's such a classic, it's been re-imagined as plays, TV shows, and movies since it was first published in 1740. Disney purists can delight in the lavish Broadway musical based on the 1991 animated feature. A creepy French beast may not catch on fire like in the 1946 film, but Belle will be joined by her pals Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Chip.

Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - May 7, 1962, Abilene, Texas fif "WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOIT n PXACTLY AS IT 696101 H3HVW evm srnvo 3AV 3109 frggfr 9908 XQ 03 salvs 81ST YEAR, NO. 324 ABILENE, TEXAS. MONDAY MORNING. MAY 7, FOURTEEN PAGES IN ONE SECTION Auocbtod Prm (flfe ________________________-'-Si PAGE ONE [By Katharyn Duffj This newspaper knows its be- ginning. The date was'June 17. The year was 1881. The site was a tent pitched just south of the brand new T4P tracks at about the present location of the S. Ist-Oak corner. But we don't have those first Reporters. It would be interesting to know if some of some of tfle 1906 be packed away in attics some- where. If perchance they were, we'd be delighted to locate them and borrow them long enough to have them reproduced on microfilm. Abilene was only a few weeks old (its birthday, March 15, 1881) when a young fellow from Alabama, still a few weeks shy of his 26th birthday, one C. E. Gilbert, came to this tent village to start him- Belf a newspaper. Young Gilbert rode horse- back down to the already-estab- lished city of Buffalo Gap and there he purchased a shirttail full of type from that town's newspaper, The Texas Eagle. We don't know how he got the type back to Abilene and we don't know where he got his press, but he had the equip- ment needed in that day to go into the newspaper business and so he did. (If you've been inlo the Re- porter-News' main lobby you may have noticed hanging on the wal! the picture of a beard- ed gentleman. That was Mr. Gilbert. And the gilted old "G. Wash" hand press silling in the middle of the lobby is the kind Gilbert used in print- ing his Reporter. The one we found up in our engraving plant and fixed up for the lobby isn't the same one but is of the type and generation that Gilbert had.) Some other newspapers ap- peared from time to time on the early Abilene scene. One was the Magnetic Quill, pub- lished by W. L. Gibbs, and therein lies a tale. Gilbert and Gibbs had their differences. In fact, they had a "duel." They emplied their pistols at each other over on Pine street one 1885 day. They must have been better printers than marks- men. Each missed his target. Both lived. The encounter was duly re- corded by the editor of the third paper of that era, .lames Lowry's Taylor County News. Lowry's conclusion of ihe Gilbert-Gibbs shoot-out: "Each thinks the other beat a hasty retreat." The QuiH died a natural death in late 1885. The News was later merged with The Re- porter. 'See? Reporter-News.) Gilbert sold his paper in 1886 to Dr. Alf II. II. Tolar of Colorado City. So on the history of this newspaper goes, but the thing is, we're missing some of pur early editions of the Reporter. (The files of old Taylor County Newses is more complete.) We know the reason the very first Reporters are not in our possession. Gilbert's plant burn- ed in September 1881, the files with it. We don't know why the 1882 Reporters are missing, but (hey are. Throughout the 1880's there are skips. There are skips dur- ing World War I. And, for some unknown rea- son, all of 1906 is gone. We have the Daily Reporter for Nov. 23, And the next Daily Reporter we have is April 3, 1907. Some years ago the management of the newspaper decided to put all editions in our possession on microfilm. The papers were brittle and were being tattered and torn with much handling, by our staff as they checked on old events, by students as they did research. If you happened to have stored away with old family belongings any Reporter edi- tion from any year in the i.'Uld's or any paper from 1906, we'd appreciate mightily hearing trim you. WHAT'S THIS?

He carries a movie camera with which he recorded scenes of the fair. At a news conference in Seattle, Titov urged an end to nuclear testing in the atmosphere.

The accident occurred near the Hickory St. crossing and about, 100 feet west of where the Santa Fe line going to San Angelo goes' under the track. The train was east bound and traveling slow when the accident! occurred. It was believed that a hot journal box caused the derail- ment. About 300 feet of track was torn up and special track crews and trains were brought in to re- pair it. There were no Injuries. The Texas Eagle passenger train bound for El Paso remained here for half a day waiting for repairs and was still here late Sunday afternoon. Officials thought track repair would be made late Sunday after- noon. No estimate of damage wai available Sunday. ANTONIO SEGNI new Italian president Italy Names President ROME fAP) -Frail Antonio Segni was elected Italy's third postwar president Sunday night in a stormy, list-swinging, name- calling session of Parliament. Following his election after the melee, Segni, 71, was vigorously cheered. After five days and nine ballots, the Christian Democrat middle- reader squeaked in by 15 votes over the required majority of 428. Segni's Communist-Socialist op- ponents turned the session into tumult at the start of the ballot- ing. One senator appeared lo have exposed his secret ballot. A roar of protest went up from the left- ist benches; they shouted insults and names. Segni, who will be inaugurated May 11 for a seven-year term succeeds Gronchi, elected in 1955.

Piven Theatre Workshop has announced the return of its highly anticipated summer program for high school students interested in advanced theatre training, improvisation, and intensive specialty workshops designed to provide valuable resume builders for college and career.
Piven Theatre Workshop's most advanced and intensive experience for young actors, the Performance Conservatory explores the full Piven canon, culminating in a performance exploring staged contemporary scenes, literary adaptation, and improvisation.
In addition to learning core Piven course work - improvisation technique, text analysis, and script work - students will also participate in workshops including Commedia dell'arte, stage combat, and audition technique, taught by guest artists. This year, the Performance Conservatory will also feature expanded workshops on Viewpoints Technique taught by Jeff Award-winning director Robin Chaplik.
Chaplik began studying with Piven Theatre Workshop as a youth and was a member of Piven's celebrated Young People's Company as a teenager. Chaplik graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied and performed with Anne Bogart and Mary Overlie, the originators of Viewpoints and Composition. Chaplik wrote and directed Rosa Lublin (Jeff Award "Best New Adaptation) and directed The Illusion (Jeff Recommendation) at Piven Theatre Workshop. Ms. Chaplik was a long-time Resident Artist with Steppenwolf for Young Adults.
"We're thrilled to welcome Robin back to the Workshop," said Jennifer Green, Artistic Director of Piven, "She's joining a fantastic roster of instructors this summer."
She added, "Working with master teachers of this caliber gives these students an exceptional experience which could otherwise only be found at a true university conservatory program."
The Advanced High School Performance Conservatory runs onsite at Piven Theatre Workshop, 927 Noyes Street, in Evanston, from July 5 to 29, Monday through Friday, with a final performance for the public on the final day. Applications can be found on the Workshop's website at piventheatre.org, or by calling the Workshop directly at 847-866-6597.
About Piven Theatre Workshop
For over 40 years, the Piven Theatre Workshop has maintained both a professional theatre and a nationally acclaimed actor training center for children and adults. The mission of Piven Theatre Workshop is to encourage a process of creative exploration that celebrates each individual's unique voice through an ensemble-based, community-oriented approach to theatre training and performance. This mission, as it has evolved over 40 years, is pursued through the three branches of the organization: the training center for children and adults which serves over 1,000 students annually and provides mentorship opportunities for emerging theatre artists and educators, the extensive scholarship and community outreach programs, and the professional Equity theatre committed to new works and literary adaptations.
Many Piven alumni have pursued rich careers as actors: Jeremy Piven (Entourage/Mr. Selfridge), John Cusack (Say Anything), Joan Cusack (Shameless), Kate Walsh (Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice), Harry Lennix (The Blacklist), and Aidan Quinn (Elementary), to name just a few. We are equally proud of all our students who have carried the lessons they've learned in our classrooms into the wider community: our alumni have gained distinction in fields as diverse as writing (MacArthur Genius Fellow Sarah Ruhl), law (noted legal scholar Jonathan Turley), and documentary film making (Academy Award nominee Leelai Demoz).
The Piven Theatre Workshop now annually trains approximately 1,000 students from age 9 to adult. By focusing on the creative process rather than the pre-patterned result, on releasing the natural sense of play, and on the richest personal expression evoked through the communal experience that is theatre, the Piven Theatre Workshop training program has touched countless lives over the years.

The campaigners had taken their case to the High Court after the Corporation of London stopped them taking dawn swims at Hampstead Heath ponds before lifeguards start work.
The Corporation claimed the tradition, dating back to the 19th century, was dangerous and left it open to prosecution in the event of an accident.
In a landmark ruling today the swimmers were given the right to make up their own minds whether or not to take any risk involved. One regular at the ponds, Mary Cane, 58, said she was "delighted" she could once again enjoy the dawn swims she had been taking for 20 years.
She added: "This decision has enormous ramifications for all open-water swimming and really does represent a successful attack by ordinary people on the nanny state and the cult of health and safety. This is a victory for commonsense."
William Crawley, 64, who has been swimming in the Hampstead ponds for 33 years, added: "We have been fighting for the right to take responsibilityfor ourselves and that is a right we have won today."
The Corporation, which is responsible for running the heath, had at one stage considered closing the ponds - one for mixed bathing, one for men and one for women.
After protests that involved local residents Lord Bragg and Michael Palin, the Corporation confirmed they would be kept open. But it was desperate-to cut the annual ?500,000 lifeguard bill and to safeguard itself against prosecution should anyone be injured while swimming.
In the ruling handed down today, Mr Justice Stanley Burnton said his decision to allow early morning swims was "just and sensible".
He ruled "the swimmers will be under no compulsion or pressure to incur the risks involved in self-regulated swimming. They will do so of their own free will."
He said the Corporation had based its ban "on a legal error", but it was not liable to prosecution.
The Corporation and the Health and Safety Executive are considering whether to appeal.Reuse content

Quidditch player, Seeker for the Burkina Faso's National Team (2006).
His team won the 2006 Quidditch World Cup final. Sankara was so popular after the tournament that he was elected as Burkina Faso's Minister for Magic. After a few days he resigned the post, in favour of continuing with his Quidditch career (Pm).
Joshua is a biblical name meaning "god is salvation" (QuickBabyNames: Joshua).
His surname may refer to Thomas Sankara (1949-1987), who was President of Burkina Faso from 1983-1987 and a "charismatic and iconic figure of revolution" (Wikipedia: Thomas Sankara).

It's an opinion of 'taste'.Wasting or ruining a steak by over cooking it, is just an opinion of those who like rare meat. 'Well done' tends to be tougher, and chewier, while rarer meat is often des...

Home Made Almond Flour
Almond flour is expensive - perhaps you'd like to try making your own? We'll tell you how!
For sweet treats, it is best to make your almond flour without almond skins, because the skins have a bit of a bitter taste.
First, you need to have blanched almonds. Blanching is a process in itself; we recommend you purchase raw blanched almonds ready to be made into almond flour. Raw is important because in 2007, the U.S. passed a law requiring all almonds to be pasteurized. Unfortunately, this is often done with the use of proplyene oxide which is a toxic substance that was originally used as racing fuel. Other almonds are pasteurized with steam.
Making Your Almond Flour. Do this in batches of no more than 1-cup of almonds at a time. Use your food processor, coffee grinder or blender and be sure your almonds are at room temperature. Place the almonds into your device and pulse 3 to 4 times, about 10 seconds each time. Do this up to a total of 30 seconds, as you don't want the almond to release too much oil (you'd have almond butter instead of flour). Now sieve the flour and place the pieces that can't make through the sifter back into the mixer or blender; pulse another 3 to 4 times and sieve again. Pieces that remain in your sieve can be used as almond meal.
Storage. Put the almond flour into airtight zip lock bags or containers and keep in the fridge. Your flour will stay good for 3 to 4 weeks. For longer storage (up to 2 months), store in your freezer. Use as needed for baking.

Jonesborough, Tennessee (The Weekly Vice) Tammy Elliott, a 37-year-old Tennessee woman, was arrested Wednesday after failing to seek medical care for a child's injury that will now require extensive cosmetic surgery to repair.
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, Elliot's 5-year-old niece will require multiple surgeries to correct damage caused by ear and nose injuries after a lack of medical care allowed infection to spread.
Elliott, who was the child's guardian at the time, said she couldn't take the child to the doctor for treatment because her car was broken down for about a year.
An investigation was opened in March when a mental health therapist saw the infected injury and notified child services.
The investigation revealed that the girl had sustained injuries to the cartilage in her nose that ultimately left her without any viable cartilage in her nose area.
"The victim's nose had degraded to the point that the membrane of the septum is gone and will require multiple surgeries to repair," said cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jim Branter.
The girl had also received several cuts on her ear, chin, legs and ankle that Elliott said were caused by a razor. The injury to her ear had also become severely infected.
Elliot, who is the child's aunt, fled the area after a Johnson City Juvenile Court Judge removed the child from Elliott's custody and placed her with another aunt.
Elliott was booked into the Washington County Detention Center on two counts of aggravated child abuse. Her bond was set at $150,000.

Ruben Barrales
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Ruben Barrales (born 1962) is the former Deputy Assistant to President George W. Bush, and was also the Director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.[1][2][3] He then served as the CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. He is currently the President and CEO of GROW Elect, a political action committee that recruits, endorses, trains, and funds Latino Republican candidates for public office.[4] He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Public Policy Institute of California. Barrales has also run as a candidate for the state government post of California State Controller.
Barrales identifies as a Mexican American and is recognized as the first Latino person to serve on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.[5] Barrales has also appeared in the Hispanic Business Magazine's "100 Most Influential Hispanics" list on three occasions within the last ten years[6]
Early life and education[edit]
Barrales is the son of Mexican immigrants from Mexico City, Mexico, and was raised in Redwood City, California.[5] His father owned a roofing company.[7] His father was paralyzed from a fall from a roof during a roofing job during Ruben's youth.
He attended Nativity Catholic School in Menlo Park, California and graduated from Junípero Serra High School (San Mateo, California) in 1980. He graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a BA in political science in administrative studies.
He is married and has two kids, Ryan and Rachel.
Political career[edit]
Barrales was first registered as a Democrat before he ran for San Mateo County Supervisor. In 1992, he was elected San Mateo County Supervisor, and became the first elected Latino Supervisor in the county. He was re-elected in 1996.
As a county Supervisor, he helped lower crime in East Palo Alto by collaborating with Sheriff Don Horsley and other cities to form the Gang Suppression Task Force. This was needed in East Palo Alto, a city that the Federal Bureau of Investigation considered the homicide capital of the United States in 1992, after 42 killings took place that year.[7][8] He also supported the citizens of Redwood City in bringing the Shot Spotter[9] to Redwood City to reduce random gun fire. Redwood City was instrumental in the development of the Gunshot Location System,[10] which was possible through funding by San Mateo County and the major portion by the City of Redwood City.
In 1998, Barrales was the Republican candidate for California State Controller, though he failed to unseat Kathleen Connell. He received 2,652,115 votes (33%) to Connell's 4,874,097 votes (61%). Although he lost, the run for California State Controller gained him national attention. In 2001, he was appointed as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovermental Affairs in the White House by President George W. Bush.[11]
Private sector[edit]
After one and a half terms on the county board of supervisors he moved to the private sector, becoming President and CEO of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network in San Jose, California.[12]
Following his stint in the White House he became President and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce in December 2006.[3]
- Barrales is listed among the 100 most influential Hispanics/Latinos in the United States.[13]
- Barrales served as a member of the Speaker's Commission on the California Initiative Process.
- Barrales served as Advisor for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.
- Barrales served as Vice-Chairman of the California Commission on Local Governance for the 21st Century.
- Barrales served as a member of the California Speaker's Commission on State and Local Government Finance.
- Barrales was recently featured in San Diego Magazine[14] for his contributions to the strength of the Latino community in San Diego.
Community service[edit]
He was a founding member of Garfield Charter School,[15] in the Redwood City Elementary School District.[16] Garfield Charter School was one of the first charter schools in California. He was instrumental in getting Garfield's Charter and secured funding for the first years.
He also served as Director of the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center.[17]

The Maker
There were thirty-one of them in all, mostly evenly-spaced apart. There were many different poses and styles, too. A balance of females and males, adults and children, even the wood varied from form to form. At first she thought they were sculptures made by some long-ago craftsman and presented along the beach as offering, perhaps.
To Them?
Maybe, whatever. She wrapped her arms tightly around her shoulders. They were creepy, though. She made sure to run her eyes along the horizon in every direction, turning in a complete circle because those "Tree People" made her uneasy for some reason, and she felt the overwhelming need to make sure she was alone; the last thing she needed was to let down her guard enough to allow a few of Them to crest the surrounding dunes toward her location.
The Tree People picked at her curiosity, despite the aura of unease they emitted. As she neared the closest one, she took a look over her shoulder, just to be sure, then stood on her tiptoes to inspect the Tree Person's face. Interesting. Though it perfectly resembled a young man in shape and form, there were no chisel marks or other signs of man-made creation. It seemed more so that this curious artifact was, in fact, grown and not sculpted.
"But that's impossible," she whispered, her nose not an inch from the Tree Man's chin. The details in the bark were exquisite, from the flowing tunic at his waist to the knots which perfectly represented eyeballs. She shivered; this may not have been done by a man's hand, but it was very unnatural.
She took a step back and thought, Maybe it is some kind of curse. Maybe these people were once alive and are now trapped inside the bark of trees as punishment for all eternity for some long-ago transgression.
Against whom? Them? Unlikely, she scowled, They did not possess the power to create, especially things so eerily beautiful. They sought only to destroy.
The Tree People all shared a similar, pensive expression, with their eyes all locked expectantly on the horizon. There was a certain pull to that stare, and soon she followed their unblinking gaze toward the same spot on the water.


text: Monkey is a simian of the world and knows quite a lot of stuff, but when it comes to naming more than one famous drama adaptor, brain cells start to dry up after Andrew Davies. Which is just as well really, as De Montfort University has named Davies, whose TV work includes Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, as visiting professor at its new centre for, you guessed it ... adaptations. Isn't that a bit like hiring Charles Dickens to teach a course about Dickens? Anyway, the new centre will bring together scholars of English, film, media studies and drama together to study, erm ... adaptations. Davies, who will be on campus in Leicester on 5 March to talk about his career and his most recent BBC adaptation, Little Dorrit, says the centre is a "most welcome development in an area that has been for so long under-represented in academic circles". He adds: "As a practitioner, I find it rather thrilling to be the object of scholarly investigation." De Montfort now also offers an MA in adaptations. Monkey is sure BBC controller of drama commissioning, Ben Stephenson, can't wait for the flood of newly qualified drama adaptation students knocking on his door.

The private company develops a system (hardware and software) which allows running races to be managed. One of the system's features is to collect data confirming competitors have started, finished and have visited various points en-route. This data is transmitted to the race organiser during the race, thus providing "last-known location" information. A runner goes missing but the system malfunctions and fails to provide correct and/or timely location information about this occurrence. The runner is subsequently seriously or fatally injured and a claim is made against the race organiser. Could the directors of the company providing the system face damages greater than the company's limited liability?

The Next Best Thing
The sun was gleaming on the crystal clear lake near the Smithson's mansion, California. It couldn't be enumerated in the category of mansions as such. It was just an old two story villa the size of a mini duplex. But since the name-plate said "Smithson's Mansion", we will have to assume it to be one.
Jennifer Smithson was ready with her bags. Mr. and Mrs. Smithson were filled up to the brim with enthusiasm, because Mr. Smith had saved enough from his life savings to buy themselves a house back in their village, a quiet place where nobody could disturb the workaholic species he belonged to. They were all set for a life of great retirement .Yes-sir-ee.
But that didn't mean they were going to sell off their precious ol' mansion? Oh, no! They were entrusting it to their niece, Margaret, a divorced woman in their forties, who arrived just as they were packing up. "All set Aunt Jennifer?" enquired Margaret the minute she stepped in with her baggage. "Well, yeah…there's so much of packing to do, everything's so hectic, and can you help me with these cartons dear? Actually..."she whispered into Margaret's ear "I wanted to talk to you about something." She took Margaret into one bedroom and the both of them came out after a few minutes, Margaret and Jennifer, both looking at each other as if they someone just threw an atom bomb on their faces. Jennifer then excused herself and went to have a bath.
Just then Uncle came through the door with another woman, who seemed to be the youngest of the lot, maybe in her twenties, and announced ," Margaret, this is our your housemaid Garcia, she has been working for us from the past 2 years and now she is all yours." Margaret acquainted herself with Garcia and she was just about to discuss the coming night's dinner when Mr. Smithson took her aside and said, "I want to tell you something Margaret, just between the two of us." Mr. Smithson then took Margaret aside and told her something after which, Mr. Smithson looked at her as if he had done her a big favor. Margaret said, "But Uncle Smithson…."
"NO BUTS…I have taken this step without telling your aunt as we had a difference in opinion, but I know I am doing this for your own good, and I don't want any objections."
Everything from the very next minute was a rush. Mr. Smithson got ready instantly and so did Mrs. Smithson. They both hurried to their car and within a minute, they were gone, leaving behind a very confused Mrs. Smithson.
What WAS it that they had told her anyway?

Second person dies from injuries sustained in I-70 crash
ROSTRAVER, Pa. - A second person has died from injuries suffered Wednesday morning in a two-car crash on Interstate 70 in Belle Vernon.
Authorities said the crash was reported near the intersection of Route 51 and Interstate 70 about 9:40 a.m.
Police said Gary King, 38, of Belle Vernon changed lanes and traveled into the onramp lane just as the other car involved merged onto the highway.
Police said there is a stop sign at the merge point, so the driver of the other vehicle was likely only trying to get up to the speed limit on the roadway.
King's 2-year-old boy was in the car, in a car seat, at the time of the crash and was taken to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to be checked out. His condition has not been released, but authorities expect him to be fine.
Frank Armstrong, 64, of New Stanton, was pronounced dead at the scene and his wife, Linda, was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.
Another passenger, Freda Rorke, 91, was also hurt in the crash and was rushed to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. Hospital officials said Rorke died at the hospital overnight.
"I just heard a wild crash and thought it was a dump truck going by. Then I saw the helicopters," Francis Croes, who lives in the area, said.
Croes said the merge point where the accident occurred is difficult.
"You come to a complete stop and have to look quickly because these trucks drive like 90 mph," Croes said.
Troopers said they urge drivers to move over when passing an onramp and make room for others who are merging.
"If you see an onramp where people are merging, we encourage you to get into the left lane just like when you see an emergency vehicle and allow yourself distance," Pennsylvania State Trooper Stefani Plume said.
King could face negligent driving charges. Investigators said they're also working to see if he suffered a medical condition before the crash.
Westbound lanes on I-70 were closed, and traffic was backed up for miles while crews worked to clear the scene.
