Don't be judgmental. In a 1996 review of Jeffrey Hatcher's play performed by Connecticut's Theater Works, The New York Times urged theater-goes not to presume "a funeral parlor setting means instant depression or absurdist farce." This Piccolo production is being presented by Myrtle Beach's Atlantic Stage, and founding member Sandi Shackelford promises that there are plenty of zingers.
Good things come in threes. The play follows three people in a small-town funeral home who are sitting in reflection with three different corpses. The individual monologues about the deceased tell tales of longing, anguish, and the ups and downs of marriage.
This show flies by. Because the show is divided into three vignettes, Shackelford says the pace of the performance is quick, without the stagnation that can accompany monologues.

The Big 12 says errors were made by the referees at the end of regulation before No. 6 Kansas outlasted Iowa State in overtime on Monday night.
The league said Tuesday that "appropriate measures will be taken" against the two officials involved, including an adjustment of "the number of future assignments."
Tom O'Neill, Mark Whitehead and Bert Smith refereed the game, but the he Big 12 did not identify which refs will be reprimanded or the plays in question.
Kansas's Elijah Johnson drove into the lane and got tangled up with Iowa State's Georges Niang with less than 10 seconds left. No foul was called, and Niang was then whistled for fouling Johnson on the floor. Johnson sank two free throws to force OT with 4.9 seconds left.
Kansas won the game 108-96.

Driveways, sealcoating and Earth Day: Key things to consider
As we get ready to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, you might ask yourself, "What can I do to protect the environment?"
Any time you're doing things around the house is a good time to ask whether there's a safer alternative.
Consider your driveway. As the snow and ice melts and reveals the scars left by snowplows, snowblowers and spinning tires, your thoughts may well turn to sealcoat.
Each year, thousands of gallons of sealcoat are applied to driveways and other asphalt-paved areas in Minnesota. Until recently, the majority of that sealcoat was based on coal tar. However, the cancer hazards of chemicals in coal tar-based sealcoats are now known and other possible hazards are being studied.
Although the use of coal-tar-based sealcoat has been dropping, some Minnesotans continue to apply it to asphalt-paved areas.
But sealcoats don't stay where they're applied. As sealcoat wears, it turns into dust that can be blown onto play areas. Children contact this dust or track it onto carpets inside.
Sealcoat dust is also washed into our streams and ponds. There, it affects fish and the critters they feed on.
There are economic effects as well: removing coal tar-contaminated sediment from stormwater ponds costs property owners and taxpayers a lot.
That's why the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is asking Minnesotans to choose safer alternatives to protect their paved areas, their children, and their communities. Here's how:
Understand what your pavement needs for maintenance. If replacement is needed, then consider concrete, permeable pavers, or one of the new, more durable asphalts.
If your asphalt pavement still has life, asphalt-based sealcoats have much lower levels of harmful chemicals than do coal tar-based sealants. They currently provide the best combination of pavement protection, cost and safety. New sealcoat products with no harmful chemicals are coming into the market and may prove the best choice in the future.
Talk to a couple of contractors about their experience with asphalt and other, safer sealcoat alternatives that perform well at reasonable cost. The MPCA recommends starting with a contractor who has pledged not to use coal tar-based sealcoat. To find one, either use this interactive map or get a name from this list.
Make sure best sealcoat application practices are used on your pavement: Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning it and sealing any cracks. Follow the manufacturer's mixing and application recommendations. Apply the sealant when the temperature's above 60 degrees and no rain is expected for at least three hours.
More on other resources available:
For do-it-yourselfers, these retailers don't sell coal-tar-based sealcoat: Ace Hardware, Home Depot, True Value, Menards, Hardware Hank, and Trustworthy.
If purchasing elsewhere, look at the label or data sheets and avoid products with the words "coal tar," "refined coal tar," "refined tar," "refined coal tar pitch," "coal tar pitch volatiles," "RT-12," "tar" or similar terms. Also avoid Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers 65996-93-2, 65996-89-6 and 8007-45-2.
The MPCA has detailed guidance at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/ckkfkud.
Minnesota cities where coal tar application is banned include Buffalo, Cannon Falls, Centerville, Circle Pines, Eden Prairie, Edina, Elk River, Falcon Heights, Golden Valley, Hutchinson, Inver Grove Heights, Little Canada, Maplewood, Medina, Minneapolis, Newport, New Hope, Oakdale, Prior Lake, Rosemount, Roseville, Shoreview, Shorewood, Vadnais Heights, Waconia, West St. Paul, White Bear Lake, and Woodland.

Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britainâs 1,350 mosques, according to a police report seen by The Times.
The Times investigation casts serious doubts on government statements that foreign preachers are to blame for spreading the creed of radical Islam in Britainâs mosques and its policy of enouraging the recruitment of more âhome-grownâ preachers. ...
Perhaps Rowan Williams and a few of his lib Bishops could run a few ecumenical sessions with these Deobandi's. They might even try some of their preaching tactics, to fill the Anglican pews with more followers.

1. What is your view of Jake Mishkin's character? Do his personality and profession aid in the search or are they more of a hindrance? Do his flaws make him more likeable?
2. Albert Crosetti's life is currently on hold when he becomes involved in the mystery. He's saving up to go to film school and living with his mother. Does his stasis make him more susceptible to Carolyn's deception?
3. The Bracegirdle letters create an incredible sense of time and place with richly textured language and thoughtful details. Discuss some of the most vivid images and their importance to the story and to your own experience reading it.
4. What parallels do you see between Jake and Albert? Between Albert and Bracegirdle?

8. Travel and moving beyond one's normal, everyday experience, both physically and psychologically, occur many times in the story. How do you think that affects each character's development?
9. Throughout recent history, there have been rumors about lost Shakespeare plays. What do you think would happen if a new Shakespeare play were discovered? Would the quality of the writing be as important as the fact that it was by Shakespeare?

The rest of the roughly 142,000 workplaces across the state cannot provide such an assurance, says Del Sandfort, who runs a federally funded program that certifies the state's safest companies.
Sandfort says because of perceived higher costs of doing business, few companies actually sign up for the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program, or SHARP.
"A lot of companies just aren't interested in improving," he said. "Frankly, it's quite a bit of work."
Companies that participate must maintain injury and illness rates below the national averages for their industries. They also must subject themselves to rigorous hazard analyses, correcting any problems identified by Sandfort's team, all while maintaining a consistent safety plan.
The program is overseen by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, which inspects the workplaces for safety violations.
Yet a recent Independent investigation of OSHA, as detailed in the April 28 issue, found that federal inspectors don't regularly inspect all the state's work sites. Last year, for example, OSHA's 26 Colorado inspectors visited 1,455 of the state's 142,000 sites, meaning each inspector averaged about one site visit per week.
And, according to the Independent's analysis of citations between 1999 and 2004, OSHA inspectors issued serious, willful or repeat violations to El Paso County companies in more than 62 percent of those visits.
Such violations mean that hazards with the potential to kill someone often existed.
At 13 companies in the past five years, federal inspectors identified 16 or more critical problems in a single visit.
Among them was the Harloff Company Inc., a utility cart manufacturer in Colorado Springs that was cited in 2000 for 24 serious violations in a single visit.
After being hit with fines, the company contacted Sandfort. It now represents the rare case in which an unsafe company dramatically alters its ways, Sandfort says.
"We have really worked to change our focus," said Eric Jackson, Harloff's inventory systems manager. "We now take into account the welfare of our employees. We find that is important to our continued success."
Harloff workers are not in a union -- a factor that labor advocates say can lead to less safe workplaces. But the company has created an employee safety committee, where workers can identify hazards without fear of repercussion from management, Jackson says.
Harloff also has saved money since becoming safer.
The company has seen its worker's compensation insurance decline by 40 percent in the last two years, Jackson says.
Two other El Paso County companies, Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care and Qualtek Manufacturing Inc., both in Colorado Springs, also are certified as SHARP.

George Jones left his impression on so many singers, and one of those is certainly Sammy Kershaw. You can hear Jones' lilting style in many of Kershaw's songs.

[JURIST] The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation [official website, in Russian] ruled Tuesday that the law under which the former head of media advocacy NGO Educated Media Foundation (EMF) was charged in 2007 was unconstitutionally vague [press release], requiring that smuggling charges against her be dropped. Manana Aslamaziyan [profile] was arrested after she entered the country without declaring over $12,000 in cash; she was indicted under a law that made it illegal to bring a "large sum" of money over the border without declaring it, but the law did not define what constituted a large sum. Aslamaziyan has maintained that the charges against her were without merit. The Moscow Times has more.
EMF is a non-governmental organization working to train Russian journalists to encourage the growth of independent and alternative media. Last year, Russian authorities conducted a raid [BBC report] on EMF's main Moscow offices amid a growing Russian government crack-down on NGOs [JURIST report]; hundreds of Russian journalists later joined in a protest letter [text] to then-Russian President Vladimir Putin. In 2006, Putin signed a law [JURIST report] granting tighter state control over non-governmental organizations, including those that were foreign-funded. The law has been widely criticized [JURIST report], but its supporters have defended it as necessary to prevent foreign governments and organizations from using NGOs to undermine Russia's security.

Books are books and TV is TV, and never the twain shall meet.
That's how Tess Gerritsen feels about her best-selling crime thrillers and the hit TV show they inspired.
Gerritsen's most devoted readers often point out that the people in TNT's Rizzoli & Isles differ significantly from her version of Det. Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles.
It's likely to be a topic of discussion again when her book tour for Last to Die (Ballantine, $27) brings her to Dallas. She'll be at Highland Park United Methodist Church at 7 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the series of 10 books, which began in 2001.
Gerritsen's opinion on the liberties that TV has taken?
"A lot of authors feel ownership over their characters," Gerritsen says. "But it doesn't bother me that much. I'm also a musician, and I like to think, 'Well, I wrote the original tune and now they're doing a jazz version of it.'"
Gerritsen talked last week by phone from her home in Maine.
When you meet readers, what aspect of the books has them more engaged? The police and forensics stuff or the characters' family and romantic lives?
It's the romantic stuff. I get more emails, more questions, more fan mail about Maura's personal relationships than anything else. Early in the series, Maura fell in love with a Catholic priest. That affair went on for four books, and she's just getting out of it and recovering from it now.
So for the longest time, the one single topic I was asked about most was, "Is she ever going to marry Daniel Brophy? Will Daniel Brophy ever leave the priesthood?" It's funny what people focus on.
Last to Die involves three teenagers whose entire families, including young siblings, were murdered. Aren't you breaking an unwritten rule that you don't harm innocent kids in thrillers?
Yes, but this was something I was very careful about. Because, as a mom, that's one thing you don't want to read about: kids being victims. But in this case, the story is ultimately about children having the heroic roles and being victors, not victims.
The book also brings back a familiar character, Julian, an orphan who saved Maura two books ago, in 2010's Ice Cold. Now he's interested in forensics and leads a team of amateur sleuths. Are you using this book to launch a young-adult mystery series?
I wanted to do a young-adult series 10 years ago. But I was advised, "Eh, nobody wants to read that." Ten years later, that's the hot place to be writing. I should have followed my instincts. I am thinking about carrying on a sub-series starring Julian and the Jackals. But right now I'm too busy working on the next Rizzoli & Isles story.
What character changes in the TV series frustrate longtime readers the most?
A large part of Jane Rizzoli's persona in the stories is that she's so ordinary — ordinary looking, anyway — and that she has had to fight for respect because she's not a beautiful woman. This is a large part of the tension between her and men early in the series. But with Angie Harmon [the actress who plays Jane], "ordinary looking" are words you would never use to describe her.
And I always imagined Maura being very deep, dark and troubled. There are some really horrifying things in her past. And that doesn't come across in the TV show.
Have you discussed this with the people who make the show?
I know the show runner, Janet Tamaro. The way she looks at it is, "You're the birth mom and I'm the adoptive mom. They're living in my house now, and they have to do what I say."

Sophie Choudry sure knows how to party! The glamorous singer turned a year older over the weekend and rocked into the wee hours to celebrate the occasion. Though paparazzi photographers snapped up some of the action — and many of her VIP guests — outside Olive Bar & Kitchen in Bandra (where the bunch had dinner), few know that the private party continued at Palladium Hotel's posh new penthouse bar in Lower Parel afterwards. At EXO (where the club's Rishi Acharya and Ritik Bhasin ensured Sophie had a great night), invitees included Yuvraj Singh, siblings Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora Ladak, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh, Essar's Rewant Ruia and designer Manish Malhotra. Earlier in the evening, Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Rocky S and Neha Dhupia also dropped by to wish the birthday girl on her big day. YOU HEARD IT HERE! Whatever else you may have read about Sophie's big night, we're the only ones who can tell you this: while the stars dined at Olive before heading to EXO, AD Singh's restaurant in Bandra wasn't their first pick. A table had been reserved at nearby NIDO for the celebration, but the eatery was shut suddenly on account of a personal tragedy in the owner's family earlier in the day. And though it was Olive to the rescue, guests tell us the ever-popular kitchen and bar proved to be an equally amazing alternative.

The underlying theme of my present research is to describe
scientifically the technical expertise of ancient builders and architects. I
apply analytical techniques from the earth sciences to the archaeological study
of the cut-stone and concrete architecture of ancient Rome, which is unique in
its innovative use of local volcanic rock and its continuation to modern time.
Currently, I am integrating experimental tests of stone and
concrete material properties, studies of Roman volcanic stratigraphy, and
petrographic and geochemical investigations of diagenetic processes in Roman
volcaniclastic rocks with field observations of ancient concretes in monumental
structures and seawater harbor constructions.
Correlation of the results of these observations and
laboratory tests with analyses of ancient texts (such as Vitruvius' De
Architectura (31-27 BCE)) reveal the processes of human observation,
discovery, and invention that led to the development of extraordinarily durable
Roman concretes.
These multi-disciplinary methods will help solve
archaeological, geological, and materials science research problems and assist
in preservation of structures that are of archaeological and anthropological
significance to academic researchers and the general public.
For information about the repository of samples of ancient
Roman building stone and concrete, collected with the permission of the
Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma and the Sovraintendenza ai Beni Culturali

Wilson High defeated Moore League-rival Lakewood 6-5 on Wednesday in the loser's bracket final of the American Legion baseball tournament at Paramount.
Jay Rohman pitched 5 1/3 innings while striking out seven Lancers to earn the win for the Bruins, who will face El Segundo on Thursday in the tournament final and must win twice to claim the title.
Game times are set for 4 and 7 p.m., if necessary. Win or lose, Wilson will advance to the next round in Yountville.
College Tennis
For the 10th consecutive year and 11th time in the last 12 seasons, the Long Beach State women's tennis squad received the All-Academic Team Award by accumulating a team GPA of 3.20 or better. "I am proud of the ladies as they spend so much time on the court while also concentrating on their long range future in the classroom," head coach Jenny Hilt-Costello told reporters. "We ask our players to be student-athletes and are able to provide the support necessary to succeed at both through the generosity of our boosters. Given that tennis is an NCAA two-semester sport, it's a real testament for our program." Junior Karolina Rozenberg and sophomore Ebba Unden led the way with respective GPAs of higher than 3.50 en route to individual ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition. On the court, the 49ers won their 11th Big West Conference championship and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the 11th time in 13 seasons.

New Delhi: Controversial Gujarat politician Amit Shah will remain on bail for now, the Supreme Court has ruled, providing a breather for the man whose proximity to chief minister Narendra Modi landed him a major promotion recently in a BJP overhaul of important posts in the party.
Mr Shah was arrested for using his office as Home Minister to conspire with the state police for the murders of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati. Both men were killed in alleged fake encounters.
Mr Shah had been granted bail in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case. The CBI wanted the second encounter to be treated as a separate case, which would mean that Mr Shah could have been re-arrested. He would then have been forced to apply for bail in this new case, which is why he had asked the Supreme Court to treat the two fake encounters as one case.
That is what the court has agreed to today.
Sohrabuddin Sheikh was a small-time criminal who was allegedly blackmailing the powerful marble lobby in Rajasthan, which then allegedly approached Mr Shah to have him shot. When Mr Sheikh was killed in November 2005, the cops said he was a Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist who was on his way to assassinate Mr Modi as chief minister.
Tulsiram Prajapati was an eyewitness to the alleged fake encounter. He was killed in December 2006, while in police custody.
Mr Shah was forced to resign as Home Minister in 2010 and was arrested and spent three months in jail. He was ordered by the Supreme Court to stay away from Gujarat so that he would not influence the investigation against him. In September, he was allowed to return to his home state. He contested last year's Gujarat elections and won handsomely from his constituency.
Last week, he was made a General Secretary of the BJP, landing a top post despite the serious criminal charges against him.

Greenland's parliament voted on Thursday (24 October) to end a decades-long prohibition on mining for radioactive materials like uranium, further opening up the country to investors from Australia and China eager to tap its vast mineral resources.
The move will not only allow the mining of uranium deposits, but also of rare earths, minerals used in 21st century products from wind turbines to hybrid cars and smart phones and that are currently mostly extracted by China.
With sea ice thawing and new Arctic shipping routes opening, the former Cold War ally of the West has emerged from isolation and gained geopolitical attention from the likes of Beijing and Brussels thanks to its untapped mineral wealth.
"We cannot live with unemployment and cost of living increases while our economy is at a standstill. It is therefore necessary that we eliminate zero tolerance towards uranium now," Greenland Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond was quoted as saying by local newspaper Sermitsiaq during the debate.
Hammond's government won the heated debate by 15-14 votes.
The possibility of uranium mining has been criticised by environmental groups. Earlier, a group of non-governmental organisations warned uranium mining in Greenland could threaten the Arctic region's pristine ecological system.
While Greenland is self governing, former colonial ruler Denmark still has a say in security and defence issues and the uranium decision may need to be approved by the Danish parliament – possibly putting the two nations on a diplomatic collision course.
Greenland's "zero tolerance" policy on mining radioactive materials is inherited from Denmark, but the island is keen to develop mining to help pay for welfare and jobs in this country with a population of around 57,000 people, mostly Inuits.
Since Greenland won self-government in 2009, most politicians have aimed for growing autonomy and eventual independence.
The more revenues from mining or oil, the more Greenland weans itself off Denmark's annual grant that accounts for more than half the island's budget.
One rare earth deposit being explored by Australian-owned Greenland Minerals and Energy could be one of the largest outside China, which accounts for more than 90 percent of global production.
But still, mining production could be a long way off.
"I think the Danish government is prepared for the no-tolerance to be lifted" said Cindy Vestergaard, senior researcher at Danish Institute for International Studies.
"After that the Greenlanders and the Danes are going to start hammering all the legal aspects. We will not be mining on Friday, nor next year, or 2015."
Separately, iron ore producer London Mining said on Thursday it had received the go-ahead from the Greenland government for a 15 million tonne a year mine in the country, paving the way to attract partners for the project.
The Isua project which will cost an estimated $2.3 billion has been controversial in Greenland as fears its construction would attract a flood of Chinese workers into the country.
Greenland is a self-ruled territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. The world's largest island, it is about half of the size of the EU.
Around 57,000 people live in Greenland, making it the least densely populated country in the world. Only 44 politicians are in charge of the country (including ministers, MPs and mayors).
Greenland was granted home rule in 1979, but the Danish government is still in charge of foreign affairs, financial policy and security - including defence, police and justice. Denmark provides a subsidy of 3.4 billion crowns (€457 million) per year.
Greenland joined the European Common Market along with Denmark in 1972, but left the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1985 over the bloc's commercial fishing regulations and ban on seal skin products.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The New 42nd Street / The New Victory Theater, New York, NY, USA
The New Victory is an amazing non profit organization in so many ways. Not only does it enrich the community with its selection of wonderful and affordable shows, it brings theater into the school system which is so important these days with all the cutbacks. The children experience first class live theater for $2. and free of charge teaching artists work in the schools with the children. There are also family workshops where parents and children can be creative together things such as creative movement puppetry and circus skills. Another wonderful program they have is their usher program for teenagers. It is a three year program where they are treated with such respect and learn so many life skills, including work ethics and the arts. The New Victory Theater is the BEST!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I work as a teaching artist for this organization and feel so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Give them more money so they could reach out to even more schools!

Do You Have A Lump On Your Back, Neck Or Behind The Ear? Check Out What It Means!
You will surely be upset if you discover a lump on the body as they are not a normal occurrence. However, you need to be aware that such lumps are common and are harmless. They are a type of cysts, known as epidermoid cysts (they are not the same as the sebaceous cysts). It results of the sebaceous glands responsible for the hair and skin lubrication. They don't need to be treated, but people want to eliminate them as they can cause infections and also do not look appealing. You do not need to go to a medical intervention to remove it, instead you can try natural remedies. These are natural ingredients which can help you eliminate these cysts:
1. Apple Cider
For the removal of epidermoid cysts, you may utilize this natural remedy which is very efficient because of the acetic acid contained in it. Apple cider eliminates infections and protects you from bacteria. All you need to do is apply apple cider on your cyst. Then, place a bandage or a cloth over the cyst to secure it.
Repeat this process every day for one week, until you notice a layer of hardened skin. Remove this layer and allow the cyst to drain. Then apply apple cider vinegar on the affected area for another week, and the results will soon be visible in a form of newly formed skin.
You can make a combination of 1 tbsp. of dandelion and viola. Place them in some water and heat it. Boil it for 45 minutes and then strain the mixture after it is boiled. Consume it 4 times a day for a period of 10 days. You may also use it topically, applied on the cyst directly.
3. Epsom Salt
This ingredient is known to be very effective in alleviating swelling and pain. Just add Epsom salt in the bathtub before you soak in it. The pain will disappear right away.
4. Aloe Vera
Apart from its various other uses, Aloe is also pretty efficient for eliminating this kind of cysts. Just directly apply Aloe Vera extract on your cyst or drink Aloe Vera gel.
5. Milk
Milk is one other effective remedy for making the lumps smaller and speeding up their healing process. The method is pretty simple: soak one tea bag in milk and apply it bag on the cyst, allowing it to stay on it overnight. Repeat this regularly basis and soon you will notice the results.
Make a mixture of banana, wheatgrass, and honey and apply it on the affected spot. Take a bandage and cover it, letting it stay during the night.
7. Castor Oil
Castor oil is another natural product that can help you reduce the lump size. All you need to do is apply castor oil on the cyst, and cover the layer with a cloth or hot bag of water. Do this regularly for best results.

Stephen Colbert Presents 'Breaking Bad' Meets 'Downton Abbey' For 'Breaking Abbey'
Now that obnoxiously loud commercials are officially a thing of the past, the No. 1 worst thing about being a television fan is the long, arduous wait for a beloved series known for long hiatuses to return. Though, knowing that someone else has seen it long before you have is a close second. No one knows that pain quite like Stephen Colbert who was outraged — outraged I tell you! — when he discovered that First Lady Michelle Obama (or, as he hilariously quipped, Lady Michelle Antoinette) got her hands on the hotly anticipated Season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey before we all get to watch on January 6.
The First Lady may be making her fellow Americans awfully jealous, but Colbert is never one to let his nation down. The host upped the ante and combined Downton with an equally beloved and anticipated, albeit slightly different, drama series, Breaking Bad for the unbelievably awesome mashup Breaking Abbey. With Downton Abbey cast members (who are continually proving to be some delightful, good-humored people) Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley), Jim Carter (Mr. Carson), and Rob James-Collier (Thomas Barrow) on board and channeling their inner Heisenbergs and Jesse Pinkmans, the parody trades meth for tea leaves and gives the AMC series' rough-around-the-edges dialogue some British flair. ("Mo' money, mo' quandaries!")
If this doesn't curb your hankering for Downton Abbey and/or Breaking Bad, someone may have to pop a cap in one's ass. This sketch — which also features a thugged-out Mark Consuelos as a client ("I'll take that s**t with some milk!") — is more addictive for TV junkies than some sweet blue tea, not to mention yet another example of why The Colbert Report deserves to get their damn Emmy already. Watch the very funny, very NSFW Breaking Abbey clip here:
Okay, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, your turn: Downton Bad. Make it happen, Colbert Nation.

deeppwns - 7 years ago
No, you will not play as master chief. You will play as a new recruit to "Noble Squad" And also spartans are humans with suits that allow them almost superhuman abilities.
merc7523 - 7 years ago
this is a prequel to Halo, this is before John 117 (Master Chief). You play as the new member of Noble Team.

Wassup3232 - 7 years ago
No you play as Noble 6, AKA the "Lone Wolf". You're in a squad of Spartan II's and III's and you fight the Covenant on Reach.
AsianPet - 7 years ago
No u play as spartans but thay r like odsts
bratboy967 - 7 years ago
Uh. WHAT?
A lot of these answers are misinformed jabber and most of them are just counter arguments that are confusing to even read. Several of you are right and wrong at the same time and tons of you are just plain wrong.
1. MCPO John / S-117 (The "Master Chief") will NOT be the player character in Halo: Reach.
2. The player character is an UNNAMED (Dubed Noble 6) Lieutenant Spartan-III.
3. You will be on a TEAM of Spartan-III's there as a replacement for a member of thier's who DIED on a recent mission.
4. Your character's back story is that he used to work for ONI SPECWAR Group 3 (Office of Naval Intelligence Special Warfare Group 3) as an assassin/commando/Jesus.
5. Spartan-III's are NOTHING like ODST's. Spartan-III's were created as a "Fire and Forget" weapon. They are cheaper and easier to produce than Spartan II's and do not recieve the full augmentation. They are still, however; vastly superrior to regular Marines due to the genetic and bio-organic augmentations they recieved at age 13.
6. Spartans do not get thier abilities from thier armors, they get them from thier augmentation process and a literal LIFETIME of military training. The armors only enhance thier abilities.
7. Hotchip is wrong, John 117 has been around since BEFORE Reach and even fought on reach, so this is not before him.
If I failed to clear something up, look on the Halo Wiki, or read the books. The books will do wonders to helping you understand the Fall of Reach, the Spartan Projects, and the MJOLINR Armor Projects.
For information on Halo: Reach (The Game) no one gives you more info than the Halo Wiki.

Crannog, in Scotland and Ireland, artificially constructed sites for houses or settlements; they were made of timber, sometimes of stone, and were usually constructed on islets or in the shallows of a lake. They were usually fortified by single or double stockaded defenses. Crannogs ranged in time from the Late Bronze Age into the European Middle Ages; their distinctive substructures of brushwood and logs built up from the bottom set them apart from the pile constructions of earlier periods in Switzerland. Crannogs are among the latest prehistoric strongholds and seem to have reached their greatest development in early historic times. Important sites include present Glastonbury and Holderness.

Detroit Cass Tech has been one of the most prominent producers of Division I football talent among Midwest prep programs over the last five years. Nebraska is putting a strong focus on Midwest recruiting, and has started to make inroads with the school by offering 2014 linebacker Deon Drake.
"My father told me [Nebraska offered] last night," Drake said. "I haven't spoke to the Nebraska coach, but my father had talked to the coaches."
Drake is in the early stages of his research on the Nebraska program, but he appreciates the importance of the offer.
Article Continues Below
"I never heard Nebraska offer a Cass kid, so I believe I am the first," Drake said. "It's an accomplishment, but I've got to get back to work and keep going hard."
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Drake had previously picked up offers from Cincinnati, Iowa, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Programs like Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State are also showing interest, and Drake's most recent visit was to Ann Arbor.
"I went to the BBQ on Sunday," Drake said. "That went good - saw the Big House and got something to eat. The coaches said they really want me there and I should give them a call sometime. They want to talk to me and get to know me."
Drake is taking over at middle linebacker for the Technicians this fall. He and fellow class of 2014 prospect William White will fill the spots left by departing Cass Tech linebackers Royce Jenkins-Stone and Laron Taylor, who both signed with Big Ten programs in February. With summer camp started, Drake's focus is solely on his upcoming junior season.
"Right now we have stopped all visits because we have to focus on our first game," Drake said. "It's going to be a big difference. We are the state champs, so we are at the top and everyone wants to knock us down. We already know there is going to be some competition and everybody has a bulls-eye on us."
Cass Tech is ranked as the No. 43 prep team in the country pre-season by RivalsHigh.com. They will open the season Aug. 25 against Brother Rice, which starts out ranked No. 74 on the same list.
Drake will start making unofficial visits to colleges again in the fall, and is interested in seeing games at Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

St. Cloud State University
Strategic Planning Committee Revised Minutes
April 19, 2001, 7:45 a.m. St. Croix
Revised Minutes
Members Present: Jim Bertram, John Burgeson, Judy Foster, Jeanne Hites, Pat Krueger, John Palmer, Addie Turkowski, and Brenda Wentworth
Members Absent: Deb Binsfeld, Marlene DeVoe, Bonnie Hedin, Debra Japp, Judy Kilborn, Arthur Mehrhoff, Glen Palm, Mike Pesch, Mary Soroko, Karen Thoms, Jay Vora, Fred Walker, and Eric Wimberger
Support Staff: Subimal Chopra and Lucie Schwartzkopf
- Jeanne Hites announced that President Saigo has agreed to attend the final Strategic Planning Committee meeting at 8:30 a.m. on. May 3, 2001.
- Jeanne Hites distributed the KPI summary and requested feedback. Feedback/discussion
- Suggested to divide it into categories/sections. People don't want to read all of it, but rather, just the section they're interested in.
- Bring up to President Saigo that there is nothing stated about how the survey information will be used. Want to ask him how he sees it being used, in an effort to help people "buy in" to it.
- What are the implications of striving for goals, but not succeeding? How will these grow the institution, or use the resources in a more focused way?
- Who is the audience for this plan? MnSCU, legislators, other institutions like ours, faculty, and/or administrators? Different sections may have different implications for different audiences.
- "What will be done with the data?" should be the first question rather than the last question asked.
- Decision-making is the purpose of the goals. If it won't help with decisions, the strategic planning process is unnecessary.
- There is a wide variety of audiences for this. Is this a high stakes measurement or feel good measurement? Will it result in the allocation of resources? Lots of problems with achieving all these things at the same time, as written. If the committee cannot make decisions with the data, someone else will make the decisions, i.e. if a legislator gets a hold of the document and learns that a graduate program is not meeting the standards, the program could be cut and funds reallocated.
- Easy part is done. Document of KPI's is established. Now, how will it be used?
- Would it be appropriate to evaluate existing resources with needed resources, and try to prioritize within the two groups and make some kind of recommendation? How do we make this input campus wide? Visibility for the process was not addressed this year.
- What if the same model as the facilities plan is used? That process began with staff input, was presented to several groups, and the feedback was taken back and implemented/discussed.
- How are the KPI's related to what is currently considered as the current strategic plan? It was determined that there is not a finalized plan at this time. Rather, pieces of a plan have begun. The KPI's are part of an effort to pull the pieces together.
- If there is not a match for the subcommittee's pieces, then that needs to be reconciled. The subcommittee chairs each have a draft of the compilation of the KPIs. It is their task to reconcile this.
- Now that goals are being measured, what will be different? If the campus does not decide what will be done with the findings, someone else decides. Whether it's the legislature, or students who decide to not come here. SCSU is realizing it can't be all things to all people. The brand of identity of "most opportunities to the state" hurts SCSU in other ways. So, does that identity continue, or should it be changed? Graduate education is not money-making. It hurts the university's undergraduate programs. There is a move to do more graduate programs here. The justification behind those decisions is not known. No research that the committee knows of has been done to support those decisions.
- Maybe we're not ready to do this plan. Perhaps there are pieces as a prerequisite. i.e. The reference to joint decision-making. While it would cause "buy-in" to the goals, it has not been determined that SCSU is willing to function in this framework. The campus community may be ready to do some of the things. Any change will take a long time; witness how long it has taken to get to the current point. Even without a plan, decisions will continue to be made.
- There are measures that can be "either/or". If it's going to happen, then a target date needs to be set. "Yes we did it, and/or no, we didn't do it, so…" The results have to be tied to something specific. The KPI's need to be tied to strategies and goals. There first need to be goals, then strategies, then measures, and then something must be done with the results. The measures will determine how well the goal was accomplished. Also, the goal of joint decision-making, for example, applies to someone else's job. It affects their job. A goal may affect more people than previously considered.
- It was suggested that it is time to do another data analysis cycle. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats - a strategic planning model) is an option.
- If the committee continues to wait for administrators to lay out the goals, the process continues to bog down and not move forward as a result of so many changing administrators. The national average of a president to stay at an institution is less than five years. Rather than wait for administrators, the administrators can be assisted when they arrive by having the goals/history at their disposal.
- It was suggested to keep a list of things to follow-up on. It was also suggested that a follow-up process is needed, or this will not succeed. Last year at the end of the year the group supplied a list of concerns to be addressed. This same process will be placed at the beginning of the agenda for the next (and final) meeting of the fiscal year to identify other issues. Whether or not the committee is the appropriate group to address the concerns will not be the focus.
- Call for acceptance of minutes. State what the handouts on goals are: Goals and accomplishments for this year and KPI's. Accepted with revisions. Please review and send feedback. Labor intensive work of comparing KPI's Wed. at 3:00 in MC 117. All are welcome to join ad hoc.
- Prioritizing idea was liked between resourced vs non resourced pieces. Could easily axe non allocated resources. Other side of that is, if we want to make the case with the legislature. If we can document that in order to do these things, and meet these goals, we could make a better case if it could be documented.
Planned meeting times
Thursday, May 03, 2001, 7:45 am - 9:00 am, St. Croix

Elemental: War of Magic - Development Update
Brad Wardell gives us another update on the current state of affairs for Elemental. He will be stepping down as project manager now that, as he explains it, most of the technical issues have largely been resolved. Tomorrow he will be announcing who will be taking over as project manager. Brad hints that it's someone who is well known and respected within the PC gaming community and who has a great deal of project management experience:
After careful internal consideration, it was decided that we needed to bring in someone with a great deal of project management experience. This way, Elemental and our future games would have a dedicated, experienced, full-time Producer and I would be able to get back to running Stardock as a whole.
Tomorrow, we'll be announcing the new Producer for Elemental and, in all likelihood, Stardock's subsequent games that we develop. This is a person that is already well known and well respected in the PC gaming community and we're very excited to be able to hire someone with his talent, experience, and qualifications to succeed me as the Producer on Elemental.
We are going to have Elemental: War of Magic v1.1 be the transition between he and I. After that, we'll begin work on the first expansion pack for Elemental which will be given to all people who currently own Elemental: War of Magic. I won't go into any details on that expansion since our new Producer will be heavily involved in the specifics of the design.
Our goal for Elemental to become a worthy successor to classic games like Master of Magic has not changed and we will be continuing to endeavor to make that a reality. Stay tuned!
Information aboutElemental: War of Magic
SP/MP: Single + MP
Setting: Fantasy

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 29
Adjacent Routes
18m. The lovely open wall and breaks.
Login to your ROCKFAX account to add your comments - Search for comments.
More like 5, but very pleasant. Pity the lower off is in such a daft place
def. harder than 4+, and the lower-off is not where it is marked in the book. Very confusing and def. not top 50 for me!
some long reaches
Needs a reachy symbol. At least 5, maybe 5+. Not top 50 but pleasant.
Horseshit route!Which chimp put this as a top 50? Marked incorrect in new guide in relation to the belay position. Grade WAY out as well. Clearly this wasn't checked.
Not in my top 50, probably a 5 grade, there was a maillon on it where someone had retreated... Quite long reaches.
Just remembered the lower off - way out to the left and a good distance above the last hanger. Far more committing getting there than a 4+ should ever be.
This is a great route and committing (for bolts). There are easier 6a's in the El Chorro guide so this is a sandbag at the grade.
5 or 5+ with exciting moves left to belay - would put manners on a 4 leader ok
Fricken well hectic. 4 my flipping ass. Reachy. Retreated on mallion - anchor gone AWOL. Rubbish.
RockFax update gives this as 5/5+. I would go as far to suggest that there is a move of easy 6a around mid-height. Approaching it with this knowledge makes it a lovely route whereas for a 4+ leader it's "Elvis-legs" territory!
very confusing trying to find the line of bolts and match it to the Rockfax diagram. More like hard 5+, especially the last stretch to the lower off, which is badly placed.
The problem is that the lower-off must have been moved. If it was where it is shown in the book it would be a 5/5+, but getting left from the top bolt is really hard. The best option is to keep right and then traverse left at the top. Not 4+ in any case.
Yup, it's way harder than 4, I lowered off a move about halfway that was harder than any of the 5 + s we did, and it's not totally clear if I was even on the right route, this sector would benefit from a look for the next supplement.
Harder than 5+. The Line is not correct on Topo in Rockfax.

In the excellent xkcd comic embedded above, you can see the unique problems future generations will face when they decide to burn books.
Read a larger version of the comic here.
Here's more about Randall Munroe, the creator of the comic series: "I'm a CNU graduate with a degree in physics. Before starting xkcd, I worked on robots at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. As of June 2007 I live in Massachusetts. In my spare time I climb things, open strange doors, and go to goth clubs dressed as a frat guy so I can stand around and look terribly uncomfortable. At frat parties I do the same thing, but the other way around." (Via Blake Gernstetter)

BRUSSELS, April 28 (Reuters) - Belgium's Nyrstar, the world's largest smelter of zinc, cut its forecast for the amount of zinc in concentrate it would produce from its mines as work at two of its sites were suspended.
Nyrstar said it would mine 240,000 to 260,000 tonnes of zinc in concentrate this year, down from its previous guidance of 280,000-310,000 tonnes.
The company said this was because of the on-going suspension of its Campo Morado mine in Mexico due to security concerns and a decision to halt operations at its Myra Falls operation in Canada as its performance deteriorated.
Nyrstar did repeat that it should smelt between 1.0 and 1.1 million tonnes of zinc metal this year after a first quarter in which a strong performance of its metal processing businesses pushed up revenue by 25 percent. (Reporting by Philip Blenkinsop and Robert-Jan Bartunek)

Just saying -
we rode at Eastridge Woods in Shropshire yesterday on our way back to Essex from the Long Mynd.
It was hot and bone dry in Eastridge yesterday and in those conditions I just need to say that it is probably the most enjoyable trail I have ever ridden. Proper gnarly and steep. The second to last section went on forever and the final bit was just brilliant.
We passed some people doing some trail maintenance - thanks guys. You have gone a great job.
Just great.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee
I got caught shoplifting for under $15. I was charged with petty theft and resisting arrest. I have no idea where he even got resisting arrest. I have never been in trouble before I was in a panic, because he came off very aggressive. I told him I wanted another officer there, because he was frightening me so much I could not think straight. I lied about having the stolen goods when I believe I would have handled the situation differently if he was not so frightening. He told me he didn't care because I was not honest, I can tell a judge and then shoved me hard against the car while putting the handcuffs on very tight. ( I requested twice he loosen them before he would agree.) I honestly just want this to be over. I plan to plead guilty for petty theft, while taking full responsibility for my wrongdoing (It was a stupid mistake), but I'm pleading not guilty for resisting arrest.
My Questions are: Can I request a diversion on the shoplifting alone, if I plead not guilty for resisting arrest?
What am I looking at as far as punishment for petty theft?
What would better my chances of getting unsupervised probation?
How fast can I pay off supervised probation to transfer to unsupervised?
What kind of punishment could I get if they wrongfully convict me of resisting arrest?
Without resisting arrest, how much could this cost me. Of course I know it varies, looking for general estimates?
Lastly, Will I have to go back to court for pleading not guilty on resisting arrest?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I'll answer your questions in the order in which you asked them:
1 - Yes, you can ask for pretrial diversion on the theft charge alone and then plead not guilty on the resisting arrest, but if you are then found guilty of the resisting arrest it would be a permanent conviction, since you will have used your one and only one diversion on the theft charge. In my opinion, it would be far better to try for pretrial diversion on BOTH charges. If you compete diversion in good order, both are dismissed and expunged. If you do not complete diversion, then you can plead guilty to the theft and plead not guilty to the resisting arrest.
2 - Most young, dumb, first time shoplifting offenders receive at worse a small fine, and a period of time to serve on probation, generally with a ban from the store and sometimes the requirement for public service work. Jail on a first offense misdemeanor is very rare.
3 - Unsupervised probation is appropriate when the defendant has completed all terms and conditions imposed by the court (such as 100% payment of fines/costs/restitution, completion of public service work, completed counseling, etc.) and there is nothing more for the defendant to do but remain on good behavior until time runs out.
4 - You can pay off fines and costs in full at any time, but that does not mean that you will automatically be moved to unsupervised probation unless that is a specific right ordered by the judge at the time the plea agreement is announced. Otherwise, you must go back in front of the judge and ask to be transferred to unsupervised probation.
5 - Resisting Arrest is a Class B misdemeanor, with a maximum possible punishment of six months in jail, a $500 fine, or both.
6 - A very broad range: $500-$900 in fine and court costs; plus up to $45 per month to the probation officer/agency while on probation supervision. The court has the authority to waive some of those costs and fees upon finding that you are indigent.
7 - If you plead not guilty to any charge, you will usually have at least one, and often more court days that you must appear, depending on whether or not you demand a jury trial.

Darien asks residents for input on budget challenges
But nobody wants taxes to go up.
So what are elected officials to do?
Diana Dykstra, Darien village administrator and clerk treasurer, hopes the public will help answer that question.
Last week, village staff posted a survey on its website, asking residents to:
-- Rate the importance of services such as 24-hour police protection, brush pickup, mowing, recycling and the library.
-- List the service that is the most valuable to them.
-- List areas where they'd be willing to accept cuts.
-- Rate the value of the village newsletter.
-- Tell elected officials how they prefer their fire protection and emergency services delivered.
-- Share what they think are the biggest problems facing the village and how they might be solved.
"We've not done this before," Dykstra said. "This was an opportunity to engage some of our residents."
The city of Janesville also is asking its residents to fill out a budget survey. The survey allows users to see how their choices affect the city's projected $500,000 deficit.
Darien included information about the survey in its latest utility bill. People who don't have Internet access can use the computers at the public library for free. In addition, paper copies of the survey will be available at Village Hall.
The village has its first round of budget talks Sept. 14, when the village finance committee gets a first look at departmental requests, Dykstra said.
Last year, the village passed a $1.4 million budget. This year, changes in state aid will result in a $25,000 loss. Some of that money already has been made up with employee contributions to benefits, Dykstra said.
Still, given the economy, loss of state aids, the cost of fuel and a variety of other factors, building a balanced budget will be a challenge.
Dykstra hopes the survey will help elected officials make decisions.
Village Trustee Phil Putman is on the finance committee and already knows what he wants.
"My goal is to pass a budget that doesn't raise taxes," Putman said.
Dykstra said that all budget requests would be subject to "serious scrutiny." It's important for municipalities not to put off needed budget cuts, she said.
"All the municipalities are in the same boat," Dykstra said. "If we don't address the problem, the boat is going to sink."
Take the survey
The village of Darien is asking its residents for their opinions on services such as trash collection, police and fire services, and snow plowing.
Residents are encouraged to share their opinions online at darienwi.us. Residents also can fill out a paper copy of the survey at the village offices, 20 N. Wisconsin St., Darien.
For more information, contact the village at (262) 882-5055.

For many of us out "knocking up" yesterday in Crewe the scale of the likely swing in the byelection was becoming clear. Too many voters in our "strong Labour" areas were telling us they weren't going to vote - people who only a week earlier had pledged to vote Labour.
In contrast, we were receiving reports of long queues outside polling stations in Nantwich, where the Tories were strong.
It was a fatal combination of a massive mobilisation of those against with stay-at-home traditional supporters. The result was a big win for the Tories and a very bad result for Labour.
Many of the people I spoke to yesterday cited the cost of living and economic uncertainty; rising fuel, utility and food prices; worry about falling house prices and the credit crunch as their reasons for not bothering to turn out, or in some cases, switching to vote Tory.
The Tory campaign - especially over the last week - played heavily on this feeling: "Send Gordon Brown a message about fuel prices"; "Send Gordon Brown a message about food prices" and so on. And the people of Crewe and Nantwich certainly did, and did so emphatically.
Even though the Tories weren't offering any solutions or propositions about what they would do to relieve these problems, they were talking about them, and that clearly resonated.
The mistakes over the 10p tax changes gave the impression - just as people are really feeling the pinch - that we don't understand the pressures they are under. We must continue to address and reverse this impression.
What's more, the changing economic climate we now face - albeit a global one - changes the political climate too. No longer will people automatically fear pledges of tax cuts for the impact on public services. They will become increasingly attractive as people struggle to make ends meet as global forces put huge increases on life's essentials of fuel, food and utilities.
For those of us who believe in investment in public services and support for the less well-off, this presents a new political challenge.
