This book is based on stunning true stories about people of all ages in a wide variety of situations. The stories illustrate how unrecognized, incorrect assumptions can cause mistakes, misunderstandings, and tragic outcomes. Assumptions are interwoven into the very fabric of our lives. When we make an assumption we take something for granted. We accept it as fact. The stories also show our need to be respected and understood, the types of assumptions we make, and how we can recognize assumptions before we make them. This is a book about us and how our assumptions affect us.
Urgent!; Tenacious Assumptions, Dogged Beliefs; Automatic Assumptions Can Mislead; Betrayed; Now Will You Listen; Our Doctors Need Our Stories; When We Are Patients; Hospitals; Recognizing Assumptions. Because medical errors are a serious problem, we, as patients, and our medical professionals need to be aware of incorrect assumptions that can compromise our care. Orlando has shown us how we can recognize assumptions and get the story right. Whether in health care or elsewhere, getting the story right can sometimes be crucial.

text: Hey guys. Today I pulled the framework-res and extracted it with ninjamorph. I have been looking in the Res folder and can't find the status bar icons. In the drawable mdpi and drawable hdpi folders I see icons that are similar but not the right ones. For example I see the c, evdo, and roaming signal icons but not the original ones. The 4g icon also looks different. Am I looking in the wrong folders? Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The governor has signed into law a bill by a state senator from Santa Barbara which tries to insure girls are getting equal opportunities in public school sports.
SB 1349 by Democratic Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara will require schools to put statistics on the number of boys, and girls who participate in competitive sports on their websites.
Jackson says shining light on participation levels by students may serve as a wake-up call for any inequality which may be occurring.

|I found this route to be fun although I fixed a rope and used the ascender as my belay partner. Glad I wasn't leading it though. 9+??? I would give it a 10 for its pumpy nature. I appreciate the bolts by the way. Others may not however, so beware.

After climbing this route several times over the last several year, I think the consensus would be solid 5.10, with the crux being a long reach (harder for shorter folks) at the roof. Stemming seems to help maintain order.
This is an excellent off-season, after-work, or 1/4-day destination.
All 3 routes are quite good.

Greetings, all. How's the week treating you? Mine's going by at the speed of light.
I would like to share my very first podcast post with you.
Warning: there's a fair amount of silliness in it. After a couple minutes of goofing, I get down to business by reading an excerpt from MASTER Book 1: Crimson. Please check it out if you get the chance and let me know if you yay'ed or nay'ed it. Would be great!
Kindest regards,

Tucker brings Tim to Power Park
Adam D. Tucker left West Virginia for the bright lights and buzzing glamour of Las Vegas.This weekend, Tucker returns for a series of shows in West Virginia. Thursday night, he plays Appalachian Power Park. On Friday, he appears at the Old Oak Campground in Masontown, and Saturday, he's at Pipestem State Park.Very much aware of the storm damage and the people throughout the state without power, Tucker said, "I hope people can come out and maybe take their minds off the heat for a little while."Tucker said he's looking forward to coming home. With his show schedule at the Gold Nugget on the Vegas strip, it's hard to get away. Aside from performing as Tim McGraw five nights a week, the 32-year-old is involved with local charity work and has his own musical dreams to pursue. "I just got back from Nashville," the singer explained. "I was doing some recording work with Jason Aldean's people. I still write songs, of course. I'm still trying to be myself, but being Tim McGraw pays the bills."By now, Tucker has the country superstar's moves and sound down. So much so that he was recently nominated for a Las Vegas Reel Award, an award that honors celebrity impersonators and tribute artists like Tucker."I got nominated for Country's Hottest Hitter." He added with a laugh, "I didn't win."But the convention was a lot of fun. As part of the event, Tucker performed in a showcase before an audience filled with celebrity impersonators. "That was pretty weird," he said. "You'd look out and see Forrest Gump in the audience, George Bush and Barack Obama, and all these people who look identical to celebrities."Award or not, the "Country Superstars" tribute show Tucker's part of is doing very well. Even as a tribute performer, he's gained a certain amount of celebrity of his own."The American Cancer Society had an event at the Bellagio," he said. "They had me autographing basketballs with Dr. J. My name was going right beside his."Tucker said he's a huge basketball fan, but Julius "Dr. J" Irving is a basketball legend. Sharing space on a basketball with the former sports superstar was mind-blowing."I mean, I don't think my name belongs next to Dr. J's name."The singer finds moments like that a bit overwhelming, but doing what he does is still a lot of fun.A few months ago, Tucker was approached by a college professor from Williams Woods University in Missouri who'd written a parody of Tim McGraw's "Southern Voice." The song, named "Southern Choice," was a tribute to Missouri college football and its entrance into the Southeastern Conference. Tucker was asked to record it."I'm a Mountaineer fan," Tucker said. "But it was for a good cause."Proceeds from the sale of the song, released on iTunes on July 1, go to the Joplin, Miss., relief effort. In May 2011, the city was struck by a powerful tornado that killed 161, injured hundreds more and destroyed thousands of homes."I think most people will support me on this one," he added. Things are going well for Tucker. So well, in fact, that his show is getting loaned out to the Golden Nugget's new location in Atlantic City.Tucker explained, "The Golden Nugget is expanding to four locations, and we're going to Atlantic City for about a month. I'm really excited about that. It brings me a little closer to my people in West Virginia."Maybe some of them will come up. It's always good to see people from West Virginia at the show, that's for sure."Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

The docile nature of a guinea pig might make him seem like a dud in the rodent family, but nothing could be further from the truth. Guinea pigs are social and will often squeal a delightful greeting for their human companions. They aren't climbers or jumpers, although they do enjoy room to romp and secret hiding places. The amount of space they require is as important as what their space is made of.
Things You'll Need
- One 4-by-8 sheet of Coroplast
- Utility knife
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Three 12-by-12 wire cubes
- Black wire cube connectors
- Electrical ties
- Heavy duty scissors
Separate the wire cubing into 12-by-12 sheets. The cubing will create the walls of your cage, which should be 8 square feet for two guinea pigs to live together comfortably, or 2-by-4. Add an additional 2 square feet for each additional guinea pigs. Don't scrimp on space. Guinea pigs need room to move around.
Using the connectors, hook your wire sheets together until you've created a rectangle that is 2-by-4.
Add electrical ties every few inches to further secure where your wire panels meet.
Trim off any excess plastic from the electrical ties, using the heavy duty scissors.
Measure out a 3-by-5 rectangle on the sheet of Coroplast. Mark your measurements with a pencil. This will allow for the 2-by-4 floor and an additional 6 inches that will bend up to create the sides.
Measure out a 2-by-4 rectangle inside the 3-by-5 rectangle you made in step 4. Leave 6 inches all the way around, so that your 2-by-4 rectangle is centered inside your 3-by-5 rectangle. Draw out the rectangle with your pencil.
Score the Coroplast along the 2-by-4 rectangle pattern. When you score, you'll cut through only one side of the Coroplast. Be careful not to push so hard with the utility knife that you cut through both sides.
Cut through both sides of the Coroplast at all four corners. Cut straight from the edge of the rectangular pattern toward the outer edge of the sheet. It won't make any difference what direction you cut, as long as you follow the line of the pattern toward the outer edge.
Bend the Coroplast along where it is scored. Shape it so that it fits snugly inside the wire rectangle. Your Coroplast will meet but will not seal, which should be fine since the wire sides will keep your guinea pigs from escaping. Coroplast is an excellent product for your guinea pigs flooring, as it is waterproof and will be easy to clean.
Fill your cage with aspen or hardwood shavings, or with grass hay. If you have other pets, you'll need to add a top to your cage, which can be fashioned by purchasing additional wire cubes. You'll need wire cutters to create a door in the top of the cage. Cut a 10-inch square hole for the door, which you can then cover with a 12-inch square side from one of the wire cubes. Secure it on one side with electrical ties. Add a spring and S clip on the other side to close your door.

She doesn't remember a spring providing so many training obstacles.
"We've had so many canceled practices," the senior said.
Thursday's Lehigh Valley Conference opener wasn't much better as decreasing sun and increasing winds put a damper on a promising start to the day.

Rockin' The Gazebo
by frustratedpoodle
Dave and Hannah Montgomery were the type of couple that can inspire hope in the very concept of true love, or tooth decay. Rarely were they apart, though this was not do to any one party being clingy or overbearing. They chose it that way. Though both were in their early thirties and had been married for seven years, it seems that they could read one another's minds like couples that had been together for decades, sometimes finishing one another's sentences. Though they were not into PDA's (public displays of affection), and bantered like siblings around others, there was no denying that the lights in their eyes when they looked at each other were fueled by an undying love that knew no bounds.
Physically, they complemented one another beautifully, and if they had chosen to have children, there is no doubt they would have produced something gorgeous. He was tall, broad shouldered and athletic, his boyish good looks accentuated by kind hazel eyes and a warm smile. He wore his light brown hair a touch longer than most men, and was the epitome of the casual dresser, generally seen in one of many shirts that proudly announced his loyalty to the Miami Dolphins and a pair of comfortable shorts.
Hannah was petite, with a figure reminiscent of Betty Boop, her long black curls framing a face that was perpetually touched with mischief. She had assessing almond shaped eyes that were nearly as black as her hair, and a smile that was as playful as her husband's was warm. She believed in comfort too, and when she did not have to dress up, tank tops and sweatpants were her usual choice of clothing.
I met them at a party thrown by a mutual friend. It was New Year's Eve, and the beer and sambuca were flowing freely. There was little doubt in my mind that all the little groups that disappeared around the side of the house were smoking some pretty strong herb. Things were loud, everyone was having a good time, and at one point, shortly after midnight, I found myself seated in the gazebo, discussing with Hannah my move to Minnesota in two months.
"Why would you go anywhere that it snows?" She asked, finishing off her beer and setting the bottle aside. "Even if it does double your salary, it seems a mighty huge sacrifice especially when you end up shoveling snow all the time."
"The money, Hannah. Aside from that, there's nothing for me here in Florida. Ever since Tim and I split up, it seems pointless to stay here. Everything is a reminder, and if I don't get a good change of scenery, I may have some sort of breakdown." I shrugged. It was true, though this was the first time I had expressed it. It seemed easier to say this sort of thing to a person I had just met after a few shots.
Hannah arched a brow at me. "You'll be ready to come back after a month of snow," she said teasingly. "Reminders or not. Don't let Tim run you out of the state."
"Maybe I will be back, but I won't know until I go, right?" I was nursing my beer, the world starting to spin in that comfortable fashion that warns that any more liquor will be too much. I wasn't going to keep talking about Tim, so I left her comment alone, her words well taken.
She nodded slowly, fingering the small strap to the black tank top she wore, which was edged in lace and stretched tightly over large breasts. "I just like the idea of celebrating New Years without freezing my ass off," she smirked, glancing toward the house. The gazebo was hidden in a cluster of fruit trees, the only illumination, from the house, casting the barest light on us. "Dave is taking his time with that other beer."
As though he had been summoned, however, Dave suddenly walked out of the house, heading our way with two bottles of beer in one hand, and a pack of cigarettes in the other. It was only moments before he had stepped into the gazebo and sat next to his wife. "My ball and chain talking your ear off, Edie?" He joked, receiving a playful punch on the arm from Hannah as he spoke. She took her beer and drank deeply from it.
"You know she is," I joked, leaning elbows on knees, and suddenly feeling as though I were in their faces, for the gazebo was not large. I was too drunk to care, though, and remained as I was, not caring if they were comfortable with it or not.
Hannah placed a small hand on my shoulder, rubbing it gently. "I just don't understand how anyone could want to leave Florida, that's all." She snuck a glance over at Dave, and I noticed, through my drunken haze, that he arched a brow at his wife, a smile passing quickly over his expression. The exchange was lightning fast, and I could not have known what it meant at the moment, though if I had, I am sure it would not have changed a thing. "We have so much more fun down here."
I turned my face toward Hannah's, our noses nearly touching as she leaned forward, letting her hand drift down my back. It was something that I would never have allowed someone I had just met to do, but coming from Hannah, so down to earth and pretty, it all seemed okay. "I think I missed all the fun."
She widened her eyes, and I was keenly aware that Dave had fallen silent and was leaning back in his seat. Hannah had one hand draped over his knee, and the other continued to lightly rub my back, my skin tingling through the material of my button down shirt. "You can always start making up for it now," smiled Hannah, ducking her head to firmly place her lips on mine, engaging me in a kiss that I could not break from, and after a few moments, did not want to. Her tongue was warm in my mouth, alive, and I responded with unexpected passion and want. Hannah was a beautiful woman.
Her hand snaked around my waist, and she slid her other hand from Dave's thigh to mine, rubbing it teasingly, just under the hem of my skirt. "No one's going to walk out here, I hope..." I began, though her mouth was on mine again before I could say more, and I found myself curling my fingers around one of her full breasts, her nipple straining against the thin tank top and into the palm of my hand.
"Then they can join in," cracked Dave, who had by now, set his beer aside and was simply watching me make out with his wife.
Hannah slipped her hand underneath my skirt, fingers brushing over my mound through the thin lace of my panty. I shuddered, letting my legs part a little further, dampness gathering between them. Her lips left mine and she leaned closer, sliding herself onto Dave's lap, fingers never straying from my pussy as she rubbed gently at my clit through the panty. Her own skirt had ridden up as she rubbed her ass against her husband's crotch slowly, a soft groan leaving his lips. A soft spray of kisses trailed down my throat, and two buttons were undone as her head dipped into the cleavage beneath.
I pinched her nipples, pulling her shirt up to get my hands underneath it, and moaning as I realized that she wore no bra, and leaving the scrunched up shirt to rest just above her nipples. Hannah's fingers pushed the panty aside, and with little warning, two fingers stabbed into me, and I arched toward them with a little cry. "You're so wet, Edie," murmured Hannah teasingly. "You want me to eat that pussy, don't you?" With her other hand, she was tugging at her husband's shorts, even as her fingers slid in and out of me with a laziness that could have made a corpse come. I tried not to moan for fear of having someone hear me, muffling the sound against Hannah's round breasts.
I could only nod at her words. Right now, her touch was like a little slice of heaven.
Dave's shorts were down around his ankles, and he had hitched his wife's skirt up completely, exposing a shaved pussy that seemed not to believe in underwear. As she fucked me slowly with her fingers, I let my own hands slip between her legs, fingers pinching at an engorged clit that was wet with her juices, and letting my own fingers slide beyond the soft folds of flesh, letting her pussy engulf them with her warmth. She shuddered, gasping. A quick glance up told me that Dave had taken over the other end, his fingers sliding in and out of her tight little ass. I felt my heart race, and Hannah's fingers quickened within me, her thumb rolling over my clit steadily and firmly.
Hannah's eyes were wide as we filled her from either end, and she looked as though she might come right then and there. She seemed aware of this, and slowly pulled my hand away, taking it up to her lips to lick each of my fingers through her groans of pleasure. Dave was talking to her, telling her what a beautiful ass she had, telling me how beautiful I was, and how I needed to have my pussy licked. With those words, Hannah pushed me back, leaning into me. She was standing between us now, taking two fingers slowly between her round cheeks, and pressing her face between my legs.
Her tongue sent chills through my gut and down my spine as she pressed it into me, then licked her way toward my stiffened little nub. She sucked and playfully pulled on my clit with her mouth, moaning against it as she herself was penetrated. I whimpered, my hands running slowly through her glossy tresses. Dave's cock was out of his shorts and rock hard, his free hand stroking the thick appendage, his gaze fixed on his wife as she worked my pussy over, fingers back in it, pumping in and out furiously. I squirmed against her face, the blouse completely undone as I grabbed at my own breasts through the lacy bra, panting. Hannah's other hand was on her own clit, rubbing lazily as her ass moved on Dave's fingers. There was no way to stop the orgasm now.
When it came, I barely had the sense to keep quiet, waves of sticky wetness flowing against Hannah's face, which she buried deeper against my pussy. Her fingers slammed into me, three now, moving impossibly fast and twisting deliciously within. She was relentless, never letting the orgasm abate until it had been utterly spent, and I was left gasping for air, back arching into Hannah's face still. It was glistening from nose to chin when she lifted her head, fingers still buried in me, muscles contracting hotly around them. "Oh, Edie," she whispered, breaths ragged as she wiggled back against Dave's invading fingers, "You cannot take that pussy to Minne-fucking-sota."
I giggled a giddy little giggle, still relishing in the waves of pleasure that swept through me with slowly decreasing force. The fires that were ebbing sprung back to life, however, when Hannah's wet little fingers came to rest on my knees, and she slowly began to lower herself onto Dave's stone hard cock. His thick head disappeared into her ass slowly, and he gently pulled her down onto him, a hand on either hip gripping tightly. He threw his head back, muttering breathlessly, "That's...beautiful..."
Hannah gripped my knees more tightly the deeper he went, her eyes wide and glassy, and a whimper caught in her throat. "Lick me, Edie. Lick me while my ass gets fucked..." the words were but a breathy whisper, but the pleading in her tone was not lost on me, and it sent a deep shiver through me. I slid a finger deep into my pussy, sticky from the orgasm, groaning as I pulled it out, wet, smearing my juices across Hannah's lips. Her tongue snaked out to suck my finger, and she gasped as the cock in her ass was driven all the way in. Her hips moved on Dave with a laziness that was agonizing in all the right ways. His fingers tightened on her hips, and his breaths came quick.
I dropped on my knees to the floor, my finger still playing over Hannah's lips as I kissed my way down her body, now covered in a sweet, clean sweat. Past the pushed up tank top, pausing at the erect nipples to bite them, even as my hands roamed her taut inner thighs. She murmured something about needing to be licked as I worked my way down her tummy, nipping at her flesh. My mouth caught the rhythm of her movements on Dave, and I latched onto her clit, sucking at it and positioning three of my fingers so that she came down on them the next time she took that cock fully into her again. Her hands were suddenly in my hair, clenching me to her even as she fought to keep her cries quiet.
Hannah was beyond control. She was moving fast now, almost pulling herself fully off of Dave's cock as she slammed herself down against us both. My mouth couldn't keep up, but my fingers stabbed deep into her soaking pussy with each thrust, and I could tell that neither of them would last much longer. Hannah came first, and I hoped that no one heard her cries as she squeezed wetly around my fingers, grinding against them, as well as the cock lodged deep in her ass. She was begging Dave to come in her ass, and I could only imagine the amazing throbbing sensations in the tight little space as he finally did, holding her down on him as tightly as he could, and leaning forward to quiet his own cries against her back.
Slowly, I slid my fingers out of Hannah and licked them clean, staring at the spent couple before me, not sure what to make of what had just happened, but never regretting that it did. Hannah brought me off one more time, this time while Dave watched, her fingers working me over and penetrating both of my entrances hard and fast.
On those long winter nights, when I recall my life in Florida, it always drifts back to Dave and Hannah, and the way that they seduced me in the gazebo. It is an experience that never fails to drive me into long sessions of maturbating, and when I want to come, I can practically do it on cue when I think of the way Hannah's tongue felt on my pussy. I have had lovers since that time, both men and women, and none have been able to touch the power of that particular orgasm.
I saw them once before I moved North, and plans of a repeat performance at their house were dashed when Hannah stumbled in her heels and broke her ankle only ten minutes after we had solidified the plan. It was at a mutual friend's birthday party, and Hannah had even gotten me in the bathroom and heated up for it with ruthless teasing that only a woman like her can manage to make work. That night, my hope for another taste of this couple were shattered, and when I went home, I thought of Hannah's hands all over my ass in the bathroom earlier and it did not take long for me to get off.
Even as I write this, I have slowed down to type with one hand, for the other is down beneath the soft cotton of my panty, rubbing my clit to a memory like no other.

SACRAMENTO - California relies on the winter months to supply its watersheds and so far, February has been productive. Sacramento has received three inches of rain.
Still though, area reservoirs are running extremely low.
The majority of California's water supply reservoirs are located in the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River watersheds. There is an eight-station precipitation index that gauges the amount of water for the region.
The gauges are at Mount Shasta City, Shasta Dam, Mineral, Quincy, Brush Creek, Sierraville, Blue Canyon and Pacific House.
With the recent rain and snow, water levels in the reservoirs have increased slightly. Shasta is currently at 37 percent of capacity and Oroville is 39 percent of capacity. Folsom has increased to 29 percent of capacity. Just last week it was at 17 percent.
It takes more than the rain to fill the reservoirs. The region also relies on snow melt during the spring. Because of the unseasonable warm conditions, there has already veen some runoff.
There is still up to five feet of snow at area ski resorts. Sierra-at-Tahoe has a 68-inch base. Kirkwood's base is 62 inches.

The ongoing concern over the spread of mad cow disease provided the basis for the French government to enact new legislation which requires restaurants to clearly post the origin of beef sold in their stores.
According to Reuters, the law requires restaurants and burger stands to reveal the origins of cattle on menus, wall posters, or elsewhere.
The measure stems from fears over the spread of mad cow disease through beef from other countries. Until October, France had banned the import of British beef due to cases of mad cow in Britain. As a result of the lifting of the ban, Agriculture Minister Herve Gaymard promised a wary public that France would enact a measure to require restaurants to report where their beef came from.

The pilot, John Russell, 64, was trapped for trapped for more than 24 hours in the wreckage of his glider.
He was found near Braemar in Aberdeenshire on Tuesday following a search covering 1,000 sq. miles.
Mr Russell was not carrying an emergency homing device which could have given out his position.
Keith Auchterlonie, of the British Gliding Association (BGA), said: "Had the pilot been carrying one of these devices, he would have been found more quickly.
"But the disadvantage with these things is they can sometimes go off by accident, causing unnecessary searches."
He added that the BGA would consider "very seriously" any recommendations from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch investigation.
Mr Russell failed to return to the Deeside Gliding Club near Aboyne on Monday, prompting a search involving two helicopters, three RAF Tornados and mountain rescue teams.

"There are characters in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare with many different personalities. Choose 3 characters and discuss a single character trait for each one. Be sure to choose characters and traits that contrast each other in some way. In your essay, show with specific evidence how Shakespeare illustrates these traits, and what lesson or meaning he achieves through their interactions in the play."
I need ideas in what parts of the prompt I should include in the topic sentence and how.
You know that you are discussing characters and their traits, so you definitely want to include that in your thesis. You would include the title of the piece, the author, the names of your three chosen characters, and the traits that you will be examining. Additionally, the prompt has indicated that you should find traits that serve as contrasts to one another. So, you will want to include the word contrast in your thesis.
I would actually begin by listing several characters on paper and listing their traits. Once you have done this, find three traits that you can easily contrast. Once you have chosen the traits, you have the characters. This can be a bit easier than starting by deciding on the characters and then looking for traits that compare to each other.
No matter how you look at this assignment, you are going to have to do a bit of pre-writing and determine what you are specifically going to write about before you can draft your working thesis. That way, you will have a structure for your paper and a general idea of content. You can build your thesis based on that so that it leads the reader in the direction that your paper will take. Just be sure to include the specific characters, the specific traits (or at least a mention of the fact that you will be examining traits if you do not state which traits specifically) and the fact that you will be contrasting them.
Your topic sentence serves as a type of mini thesis statement. Therefore, this sentence should contain your subject matter, the name of the play, and the judgement you are making (the slant) of the paragraph. Once you have decided on the three characters you want to write about, you need to gather evidence from the play to prove what you are suggesting. For instance, if you chose Lady Capulet, the Nurse, and Juliet, you might gather evidence from the play in Act I, Scene 3, since all three characters appear in this scene. You would strategically choose your quotations that show a foil between these characters.
Once you are creating a rough draft of the paragraph, it is good practice to first make a point, introduce a quotation from the play, and then explain the quotation. After you have completed this process, you would move on to your next point, and so forth.
One that might not be so traditional as impulsiveness is anger. Tybalt, of course, has the choleric personality, that flares at every turn. Mercutio, like his name is mercurial. He is humorous, even silly at times, but he certainly becomes incensed with Tybalt in Act III as well as angry with Romeo. And, Romeo himself has his moments of cholera, especially when he feels fate is working against him. (I defy you stars," etc.)
So, while these three characters have fiery tempers, what precipitates their anger differs and their reactions after being angry vary. Thus you can compare and contrast these three and should be able to compose an interesting essay.
Good luck!
In your topic sentence, you certainly want to identify the three characters upon whom you will focus your attention and also the character trait which all three share. Additionally, you might also want to mention any relevant specific events from the play you intent to use as your evidence, particularly if several of the characters are involved.
For example, if you are suggesting that Mercutio, Romeo, and Tybalt are all prone to rash behavior when provoked you might say something along the lines of: Within the climax of the play's plot in Act III, Romeo, Mercutio, and Tybalt all exhibit a proclivity to rash and violent behavior when provoked.
One character trait you can study is impetuosity. The play has a number of characters who are impetuous: Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio at times, etc. Then you can contrast one of them with someone who is not impetuous, which, by the way, will be more difficult to find.

A COUNTY councillor for the Cotswolds is calling for two massive planning applications in Moreton to be considered together.
CALA Homes has already submitted an application for 140 homes across two sites in Todenham Road and Dulverton Place.
The outline plans, which include a new public park linked to the existing Blenheim Park, are currently being considered by Cotswold District Council.
And a further application for between 200 and 280 houses and up to 9,500msq of employment space is soon to be submitted by owners of the Fire Service College, Capita.
But County Councillor Nigel Moor, who represents Stow and Moreton, said he is concerned about the cumulative impact on the town the applications could have, and if approved, could see more than 390 extra houses built.
"In my view these joint proposals will generate significant levels of additional traffic to and from the local highway network," he said. "And in particular place an increased impact on the A429 which bisects Moreton and the bridge that carries this road over the Oxford/ Worcester railway line.
"This road over the bridge is already narrow and the footpath also narrow. Additional traffic on the bridge will exacerbate the already adverse environmental conditions experienced by vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians."
But Cotswold District Council said the CALA application has been in since February 27 while the Capita (FSC) application has not yet been registered.
A spokesman said: "We have a duty to determine applications within a set period and, as such, the CALA application is likely to go to Committee in advance of the Capita scheme.
"If we were to unduly delay the CALA application, we would potentially then risk an appeal against non-determination, and even an application for costs."
The amount of planning applications for the district is of great concern to councillors across the area and is frequently mentioned at parish and town council meetings.
District councillor for Moreton, Robert Dutton, said at Monday night's meeting of Moreton Town Council: "The avalanche of housing being planned for this town I think is just ridiculous. It's way beyond this town's capacity."
Cotswold MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, who raised his concerns about planning a Prime Minister's questions last month, is set to meet planning minister Nick Boles MP, and the leaders of Cotswold District Council on Wednesday, April 23.

My name is Cady McClain and in my opinion, walls are there for climbing.
In 2014 I shot two short films. Flip Fantasia and The World of Albert Fuh. Both films gained a cult following and Fuh won some terrific awards. The most meaningful to me was an honorable mention for Best Director from the LA Film Review.
Back then, I had only a glimmer of an idea how tough things were for women who directed. After a couple rounds of film festivals it all began to hit me right between the eyes.
Women are not valued the same as men when it comes to directing.
I knew directing was not inherently a man's job. I had done it, with an mostly male crew who totally respected me and I them. But when it came to respect at higher levels, things were very different.
I had to figure it out… what was going on?
What I've discovered has changed my life, and I think it will change yours.
I really wanted to understand what was happening on every level, so I flew around the world to interview top directors like Sarah Gavron (Suffragette), Meera Menon (Equity), Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland), Bethany Rooney (Pretty Little Liars), Joanna Kerns (Crazy Ex Girlfriend), Leah Meyerhoff (I Believe in Unicorns, founder of Film Fatales), Betty Thomas ("The Brady Bunch Movie," "Dr Doolittle"), Anne Makepeace (Robert Capa in Love and War, Coming to Light), and Lizzie Borden (of the feminist epic Born in Flames).
See the FULL LIST HERE.
(Director Marianna Palka, "Good Dick")
I also spoke to Sundance favorites like Marianna Palka (Good Dick), up and coming directors like Li Lu (There is a New World Somewhere) and Naima Ramos Chapman (And Nothing Happened), directors of genre films like Nicole Conn (Elena Undone), and women who have made their way through creating groundbreaking documentaries, music videos, web series, and commercials.
(Cady with documentarian Deborah Riley Draper, Olympic Pride, American Prejudice)
I've become a member of Film Fatales, The Alliance of Women Directors, andWomen in Film, attending meetings and screenings where I gained insight into how women directors are persevering despite the odds.
(Director Li Lu, "There is a New World Somewhere")
And then, on the insistence of some women, I talked to some of the "good guys" in the industry of Hollywood. Male producers in TV and film who strongly support hiring women. Folks like John Wells of ER, West Wing, and Shameless. Mike Robin ofMajor Crimes, Nip Tuck, and The Closer, Robert Munic of ICE, Empire, and Gang Related and Michael Rauch of Royal Pains and Beautiful People.
(EP Robert Munic, Empire)
After much research, time, travel, and exhaustive effort, I feel I have a handle on what's going on, and what needs to be done.
The bias is systemic, so there's no point in blaming or calling out the offenders. Nothing but a revolution is going to change the way things are.
(Director and composer Naima Ramos-Chapman, And Nothing Happened)
In order to foster that revolution, women need ACCESS to insider information.
(Producer Kate Super and Emma)
This series will give them that information and more: they will also discover the LEADERSHIP SKILLS that helped these artists navigate to success and the TOOLS they use to keep them in the game.
We want every woman and every girl to have this information and the mentorship these interviews provide, so they have every chance at succeeding in this important industry. We want to foster lasting change. The only way to do that is to give them information they can put into action.
(Cady with director Meera Menon, Equity)
As Geena Davis so rightly said about fixing gender imbalances in the media, "If girls can SEE it, they can BE it!" We need women to not give up or be threatened by how tough it can be, but inspired and insisting on their vision as DIRECTORS! I believe it is the only way to change these sucky statistics!
(from the USC Comprehensive Annenberg Study on women directors)
Or check this out, UGH: http://info.slated.com/data-exposes-gender-faul…
But we aren't going to let numbers stop us. NO WAY!
And by joining us, you are coming onboard a train that will create an incredible future for generations to come.
(Director Cady McClain, The World of Albert Fuh, and Flip Fantasia)
In addition to the series, we are turning the interviews into a workbook with exercises that will take you step by step through how YOU can become the confident visionary storyteller you know is living inside of you, in whatever form calls to you.
(Director Nicole Conn, Claire of the Moon and The Perfect Ending)
Finally, we will be collaborating with more directors to create the first ever online class in all aspects of directing. Here will be where you can learn everything from how to navigate your own unique pathway while developing your vision, YOUR VOICE, all the way through to finalizing your own project. Throughout it all, you'll be connecting with a community of like-minded women who help one another.
I am thrilled to share that we have not-for-profit status through our fiscal sponsorship thanks to The Film Collaborative, making all contributions 100% tax deductible.
Right now, your funds will help us with ALL of our post-production needs: editing, color correction, sound mixing, copy editing, music, animation, and all the marketing, promotion, and advertising we will need to make sure these stories are heard.
(Director America Young, The Concessionaires Must Die)
We want to reward you for your help in making lasting change, so we've got amazing perks and incentives that will help inspire you to start walking YOUR path, help you deal with the grit on on-set life, and get you dressed to walk the red carpet! We've also got some great items from my years in the Golden Age of Soaps for those special long time fans.
Take advantage of picking up two free half hour mentoring sessions with yours truly. I can help you organize a step by step path to your goals based on my "Dreaming Into Art" workshops taught at the Wisdom House, The Elizabeth Seaton Center for Women, and the Write the Dream Conference!
Or I will come to your community to hold a "Girls Can" workshop for Mom's, Dad's and daughters where we will watch moments from the series and practice some of the essential tools for leadership. Everyone will walk away with a toolkit, a journal, and a "Girls Can" t-shirt!
Or get some video advice made JUST for you from Cady's online character Suzy F*cking Homemaker."
Check out some of the incredible photos of women directors past and present available for you to hang over your desk as inspiration!
(Dorothy Arzner, director and Clara Bow, actress)
We are so lucky to have the amazing Xaviera Lopez designing all the animation for us. You can get the stunning image featured in the start of our campaign video at the top of the page. You can get it on a t-shirt or handy tote!
We've also got the ultimate black embroidered "Directors" cap! A label-free front panel with our SIBWD ("Seeing is Believing: Women Direct") logo tucked in the back. A stylish conversation starter for sure!
Check out Xaviera's design on our awesomely soft v-neck t-shirt!
I've also put together a unique mini-journal that you can use to help you find your own unique creative "voice" based on journals I use to come up with ideas, make editing notes, or flesh out storyboards.
(storyboards from Cady's journal from "The World of Albert Fuh")
Should money be tight but you still want to support the project, just follow and share the campaign and you'll get all kinds of leadership tips and tools you can use immediately! We'll also make sure you are "in the know" when it the series is completed, so you can be one of the first to see it!
(Cady at Sundance 2015)
We can't thank you enough for contributing to this campaign!! It is only through your support, your demanding to see content made by women that lasting change can come.
YOUR involvement, your commitment, your contribution is the power that makes this change manifest for us all.
Please pick a perk and donate today!

This man is not the person you thought he was. He is a cheater, he refuses to discuss it or give you the details, and has done nothing to work on himself.
Yes, his affairs can go underground. There are other ways to cheat, a monthly payphone, different email accounts, calls from his work phone, lunch hours, etc.
Please think long and hard about a future with this man.

Category: color names
The Quentin Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs famously used color-themed aliases for its cast of would-be diamond thieves: Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink and Mr. White, among others.
The 1992 film became a cult favorite and the pseudonyms are now legendary. But in real life, using colors as names for boys is anything but cool.
Naming your son after a color has completely fallen out of fashion in the United States. With girls, it's increasingly popular to pick something like Violet, Ruby or Hazel. Boys, though, have been left out of the visible spectrum.
It wasn't always this way.
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
We're just days into the new year, and there's so much to anticipate.
What will Zara Phillips Tindall, the least conventionally named of Queen Elizabeth II's grandchildren, name her first child? When the 2013 data is released, will Jacob still be the most common name for boys born in the US, or will Mason unseat him? Which fictional character names will take us by surprise?
But this week, I'm thinking about a very specific question: of all the unconventional word name possibilities, which will go from sounding wacky and way out there to mainstream in 2014?
Kids called Willow, River, Scarlett, Genesis, Serenity, and Cash are nothing new, but not so long ago those all sounded as outlandish as Apple or Bear.
Earlier this week The Tennessean reported that the majority of Americans are completely fine with kids called Messiah. That's pretty tolerant – if we can handle Messiah, surely Pilot is no big deal.
And yet, I wonder about the power of noun names to influence our choices. Nancy recently shared a quote on nominative determinism – an elaborate way of saying that your name determines your future.
Will calling your child Forest make him outdoorsy? Will Aria love to sing? Can Cash expect to hit it big on Wall Street – or maybe Vegas? Is Valor brave and Honor honorable?
Plenty of parents must be hoping this is true. Or at least they're untroubled by the possibility. Because we've been borrowing from the dictionary with abandon as 2013 slipped into 2014.
Since the Fall season is officially upon us, it's time once again for an update of our annual round-up of crisp Autumn names–those appellations which refer to the season directly and those that are more subtle references.
Autumn — Autumn is ironically the hottest season name once again this year, the only one in the Top 100 where it's maintained its status for over a decade now. The name Autumn first entered the U.S. Top 1000 in 1969, inspired by the hippie nature names and word names. While it's still attractive, however, it's hardly fresh. (Note: Winter is also in the air—though it hasn't yet made the list, we're seeing more and more interest in it as a name.)
Names from other cultures that provide a newer route to Autumn include the Japanese girls' names Aki and Akiko, the Turkish girls' name Hazan, the Vietnamese Thu, and, in Chinese, Qiu for either girls or boys.

Bones that commonly break include the back bones, the bones of the forearm, and the hip. Until a broken bone occurs there are typically no symptoms.

Increasingly, older fans have maligned the chummy relationship between NBA players on opposite teams, especially if those teams are rivals of any sort. That's why many find the overt antagonism between teams like the Heat and Pacers so refreshing. After tonight's OKC win over Chicago, a brief showdown between Joakim Noah and Kendrick Perkins in the Thunder locker-room put the buddy-buddy contemporary NBA ethos to the test.
It all started when Noah was invited to the Thunder locker-room by Thabo Sefolosha, and Perkins took offense. Here's what went down during the brief encounter, as relayed by Daily Thunder/CBS Sports scribe, Royce Young:
Thabo was apparently hanging in the Bulls locker room and then invited Noah to come in to the Thunder's while he finished interviews.
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) December 20, 2013
Joakim Noah just came in OKC's locker room hanging out with Thabo and Perk didn't like it. "We just let anyone in the locker room now?"
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) December 20, 2013
Noah: "You want me to leave, I'll leave." Perk: "Get your ass up out of here."
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) December 20, 2013
The exchange between Perk and Noah was really brief. It was kind of tense, but it didn't escalate to anything. Noah left when asked.
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) December 20, 2013
Pretty much all other Thunder players sided with Perk and seemed to be more unhappy with Thabo for inviting him into the locker room.
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) December 20, 2013
And here's the full conversation between Noah and Perk, as tweeted by Oklahoman beat reporter Anthony Slater:
Was interviewing Thabo during Noah/Perk locker room argument. Here's exactly what was said: pic.twitter.com/QPlkC0QlX5
— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) December 20, 2013
So Noah — who seems to know everyone and only appears to beef with the "Hollywood" Heat — was kicking it with Thabo and Perk took offense. After Kendrick's polite, "get your ass outta here" Noah left without incident. And scene.
You see, while Perkins might have only a tenuous grasp of high-level professional basketball, he certainly knows how to keep possible spies out of the Thunder locker-room. That's probably why he hasn't been amnestied the last couple summers despite often being unable to dribble while moving. Perk's always been considered a "good locker-room guy," which now seems to mean: he's a good locker-room bouncer.
What do you think of the encounter?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/13/11 -- More than 200 Bechtel construction workers were honored during an event to celebrate construction of the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC) in Hayward, California. Bechtel is the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the 620-megawatt, combined-cycle facility. The celebration was hosted by the project's owners, Calpine Corporation and GE Energy Financial Services, and included state and local leaders.

I once asked a former museum curator for advice about investing in art. "For collecting, buy what you like," he said. "For investing, play the stock market." "What if I already have stocks?" I asked. "Buy more," he replied.
I am of a similar opinion when I hear people refer to restaurants as "investments." Very few dining establishments actually generate significant greenbacks. Most operate on a modest or break-even basis, the restaurateur depending on lunch and dinner revenues to pay his or her salary and to cover the cost of any necessary improvements. Exceptions do exist, of course, and as Miami's dining scene becomes increasingly cosmopolitan, the restaurants have a better chance at turning healthy profits. But as a rule, the big bucks only come when restaurants are treated like real estate A i.e., bought and sold.
Alessandra Coelho, a Brazilian with no food background, was looking for business opportunities in Miami when she approached Argentine Eloi Roy, the proprietor of North Bay Village's Oggi Cafe and Deli. Having dined at Oggi, Coelho was inspired by Roy's stupendous success with the 30-odd-seat Italian cafe (where everything from the pasta to the pesto is homemade), and she invited him to be a consultant-partner in the dining space she leased on 41st Street in Miami Beach. What this first-time restaurateur failed to realize was that her 50-seat Vecchia Cucina Restaurant would prove to be less an investment and more a commitment, both financially and emotionally.
Roy, who has seen Oggi's turnover rate more than double in less than a year, broke off his dealings with Vecchia Cucina two months ago. Rudy Cuadra, a friend of Roy who supplies desserts to Oggi, assumed Roy's role at Vecchia Cucina and hired on there as chef. (Eloi Roy confirms that he and Coelho have parted ways, but he says he would rather not comment about the matter.) Though Coelho says she hopes Cuadra will imbue her restaurant with some of the same style she admired at Oggi, she doesn't intend three-month-old Vecchia Cucina to be a clone. To that end, she has already altered the menu Roy had written for her -- individual pizzas are one significant departure -- and plans more changes in the future.
Among the appetizers, carpaccio is one of the menu's new additions, a fabulous presentation of ruby-red beef layered on a large plate, latticed with a mustard sauce and capers, and rimmed with chopped lettuce. The beef was butter-soft and flavorful, complemented by shaved curls of Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and a refreshing squeeze of lemon. Although it was a specialty the night we ordered it, Coelho says the carpaccio will soon be a permanent fixture.
House salad was a generous dish of crisp, fresh romaine, sliced tomatoes, onions, and black and green olives. Dressed with a light vinaigrette, it was filling, especially accompanied by the restaurant's homemade rolls. Two of the major draws at Oggi are the freshly baked bread and the large portions, and I was glad to see those traditions reproduced here, albeit with some recipe differences that were certainly not a detraction.
An antipasto for two was a lovely salad that easily served three: marinated mushrooms and roasted red pepper, eggplant, and zucchini on a base of romaine sprinkled with vinaigrette. Two enormous juicy tomato slices added an aromatic touch when dressed with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil served on the side. Our only complaint was the paucity of the pale prosciutto; it would have been better to leave this antipasto strictly vegetarian.
Meat lovers will enjoy the veal and chicken entrees, as well as the nightly specials. We ordered veal piccata, two large, perfectly cooked medallions topped with a tangy, lemon-and-caper concoction and served with broccoli on the side. But pastas are the real focus here. Agnolotti panna, round ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, were finished with an excellent cream sauce that clung but didn't clump. The tortelloni bicolore, filled with sun-dried tomatoes and ricotta, were served with a pink tomato-and-cream sauce that was slightly too faint but delicious nonetheless. We tried these rich offerings on a combination plate that also included fettuccine marinara, a necessary, zesty contrast. (This dish was actually a happy accident, a fault of the kitchen; my guest, who had ordered only the tortelloni bicolore as his dinner, graciously accepted the substitute.)
Penne amatriciana was vibrant, tomato sauce combined with chewy pancetta and minced onion over short, slant-cut tubes. Despite some discrepancies, we also liked spaghettini saludable, threaded with chopped tomatoes and slices of nicely browned garlic. Though listed in the description on the menu, basil was noticeably absent, and the pasta hadn't been well drained, which made for a watery entree. Another faux pas was the substitution of plain spaghetti for the whole-wheat angel hair. And because Vecchia Cucina's list of pastas is identical to Oggi's, I assumed all the varieties would be fresh, not dried. I suspect that other diners visit the restaurant with the same expectation. Some dishes, however, including the spaghetti, are prepared with dried pasta. Coelho confirms that Oggi no longer supplies her eatery with its trademark fresh pasta and acknowledges the potential confusion. She says her chef is working to rectify the situation.
A more varied wine selection might also help. When we asked to see the list, we were simply told there was a choice of Mondavi Woodbridge cabernet or Valpolicella.

Despite its quest to establish an identity -- or perhaps because of it -- Vecchia Cucina has a half-finished feel. Walls are painted in rosy terra-cotta tones but the four or five prints that hang on them are unframed and slightly askew. Charming cut-glass oil lamps dress up the tables but they sit in hotel-issue ashtrays. Rolls arrive in elegant cloth-covered baskets but butter pats are served, still clad in cardboard and wax paper, on a saucer.
These stylistic contradictions are easily rectified. Service, though, is another story. Well-meaning waiters are polite and attentive, but they are also forgetful. Our order of a mozzarella marinara appetizer never made it from the waiter to the kitchen. A nightly special described as chicken and broccoli was actually a spaghetti dish. One waiter announced the specials in such a soft, heavily accented voice that we gave up trying to understand and ordered off the menu. Another waiter felt it his obligation to straighten our water glasses and bread plates every time he brought a dish; he hovered and had very busy hands.
As an investment, Vecchia Cucina clearly is no sure thing. Nor is the restaurant as potentially profitable as a fast-growing stock. But with a little time and experience, it may yet be a work of art.

Thyroid Diseases
Testing for a Goiter
Is a doctor feeling your neck for an enlarged thyroid thorough enough to tell if you have a goiter? I've had 2 doctors tell me that I don't, but have a family history and would like to be sure I shouldn't do further testing, such as an ultrasound. Thank you.
Yes, having a doctor feel your neck is a sufficient test for finding a goiter. You do not need an ultrasound.

After months of meetings, what was hoped to be the Yolo County-UC Davis Economic Development Corporation is now taking shape in the scaled down version of an Economic Advisory Committee -- for now.
The committee will operate under the auspices of the Woodland Chamber of Commerce.
"We're still moving forward," said the Chamber's Second Vice President Al Aldrete of the County Fair Fashion mall at a January meeting. "We haven't given up on it. It just might need more support from the private sector to get it going and have it be effective."
While Winters and Capay Valley towns showed interest in cooperating, the city of Davis and UCD opted out, out of "concern about duplicating services and efforts," Aldrete said.
West Sacramento is moving in its own direction and was not expected to participate in the joint project.
The cities of Woodland, Davis and Winters, in conjunction with UCD, will have greater success recruiting and retaining new businesses by working together rather than separately, according to the initial concept of the economic development corporation.
Now, the Woodland Chamber is taking on the committee as a way to get it started until it gets on its own two feet, according to Aldrete, with the hopes that the committee "will turn into an economic development corporation if not for the city of Woodland, then for the county, eventually."
A similar effort was short lived in Woodland a decade ago. The former Woodland Economic Renaissance Corporation operated for about three years and ultimately failed in 2002.
"Basically, we could not afford to have an EDC chairperson," said Don Sharp previously, who was involved in the group's efforts, regarding the end of the corporation. "We had $25,000 annually. We had strong support from the city, but then funding was reduced and finally terminated."
Support from the private sector is essential in getting this new project off the ground, Aldrete said.
"If we're able to do a good job here in Woodland, we can bring on (other cities) as things progress," he said. "I personally think the county approach is best, especially with Next Economy. We're the only region that doesn't have an economic development corporation or organization sitting at the table."
Next Economy is the Capital region's collaborative economic revitalization initiative, including Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, the Sacramento Metro Chamber and others.
"If we're so concerned with our own self interests that we forget about Yolo County (as a whole), then we have a piecemeal approach at the end of the day," he said.
For now, the Economic Advisory Committee will focus on business retention and growth versus acquisition. Clark Pacific and Monsanto's expansion's are perfect examples, Aldrete said.
Participation will be by invitation to key stakeholders and business professionals.
"This would be the elite force for economic development under the auspices of the chamber," Aldrete said.
The exact name of the committee is fluid. Other suggestions included the Public Policy Committee.
The next meeting will take place within two months, according to Aldrete.

For all the shiny trophies handed out at the 51st annual Grammy Awards Sunday — Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took album of the year for Raising Sand; Coldplay and Lil Wayne cleaned up, too — "music's biggest night" was more about spectacle than acceptance speeches.
So as I get over the apocalyptic pairing of the Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder(!), allow me to dole out hardware of my own:
BEST REASON TO WEEP OPENLY: Looking gamtastic (if sounding loopy), the reclusive Whitney Houston presented the night's first major award, best R&B album. This category was never in doubt, as Jennifer Hudson won for her self-titled debut. "I'd like to thank my family, those in heaven and those who are here today," said the 27-year-old, whose mother, brother and nephew were slain in October.
But J.Hud's best moment at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was still to come. After lip-synching at the Super Bowl, she went live with You Pulled Me Through, which she started a cappella and finished with tears in her eyes.
BEST REASON FOR YOUNG WOMEN TO HANG WITH WRINKLY DUDES: The May-December pairing of bluegrass gal Krauss and Led Zeppelin's Plant was also rewarded with record of the year (Please Read the Letter) and best pop collaboration (Rich Woman), among others. And their slinky duet at the end of the show (which basically let you know who was going to win the big prize) was seriously sexy.
BEST MEMBER OF U2: The Dublin rockers kicked off the festivities with pedestrian new cut Get on Your Boots, which reeks of Bono-esque pyschobabble. But leave it to the Edge to hit the buzzsaw button on his guitar and give the track live oomph. Hopefully, he does the same for upcoming album No Line on the Horizon, due out March 3.
BEST REASON TO BE 15 YEARS OLD: BFFs Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift hit all sorts of screechy, cat-exploding notes on a chummy, crummy Fifteen.
And while my daughter loved that (and doesn't care what I think), she went loopy for Disney dudes the Jonas Brothers, who really were teamed up with Stevie Wonder. Sigh. At least I can play Superstition in the car now.
Alas, the JoBros wound up losing the award for best new artist to British soul singer Adele.
BEST REASON TO HAVE A MIDWIFE HANDY: Extremely pregnant Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A. was due on Sunday! But she's a tough nut, so she interjected snippets of her Paper Planes during a nutty number by Swagga Like Us quartet Kanye West, Jay-Z, T.I. and Lil Wayne (who won best rap album for the multiplatinum Tha Carter III). It was a mess. And M.I.A. was dressed like a knocked-up Minnie Mouse. But c'mon, it was sooo fun.
BEST REASON TO TURN IT UP: Radiohead and the USC Marching Band didn't just sound great, they looked spellbinding, like something out of a Terry Gilliam movie. Who says Thom Yorke isn't playful anymore? Oh yeah, I did. Radiohead won best alternative album for In Rainbows.
I love when Carrie Underwood embraces her surly rock side, and the country star cooked on Last Name. But what was with the duct-taped frock?
Katy Perry caterwauled her faux-lesbian anthem I Kissed a Girl, but you had to love her descending banana spaceship, the symbolism of which I'll leave to you.
Other highlights: Paul McCartney and Foo Fighter Dave Grohl doing I Saw Her Standing There; Neil Diamond's cheeseball Sweet Caroline; the casual jam in honor of the late Bo Diddley; and Lil Wayne's tribute to the Big Easy.
BEST REASON TO TURN IT OFF: Not even a surprise rap by Jay-Z could juice a performance by British sad-sacks Coldplay, who tinkled out the cloying Lost before launching into plodding hit Viva la Vida, which won song of the year. Coldplay also won best rock album, beating out Metallica. 'Cause Coldplay rawk.
BEST REASON TO HAVE A GOOD LAWYER: R&B star Chris Brown and girlfriend Rihanna were scheduled to perform. But they were scratched from the show, no doubt because Los Angeles police are investigating an alleged domestic violence felony battery report involving the 19-year-old Brown. Word is, the Rev. Al Green and Justin Timberlake filled in for them. Not a bad trade at all, huh?
