NEW YORK — A veteran and a newbie made history Sunday at the Tony Awards.
Audra McDonald became the show's most decorated actress while Bryan Cranston won a best actor trophy for his Broadway debut.
McDonald won her sixth Tony for portraying Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill," putting her ahead of five-time winners Angela Lansbury and the late Julie Harris for the most competitive wins by an actress.
The latest win — for best lead actress in a play — also makes McDonald the first grand-slam performance winner. She previously won as best featured actress in a play ("A Raisin in the Sun" and "Master Class"), best lead actress in a musical ("The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess") and best featured actress in a musical ("Ragtime" and "Carousel").
Cranston — in a role far from TV's chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White — won the best lead actor in a play Tony on Sunday for playing former President Lyndon B. Johnson in Robert Schenkkan's "All the Way."
Hugh Jackman kicked off the Tony Awards with a bounce, hopping up and down like a kangaroo during his opening number Sunday. Big, high-kicking musical numbers from "After Midnight," ''Aladdin," ''Rocky" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" kept the energy level up during the Tonys' first hour but no clear overall winning show had yet emerged.
The bearded Australian, back as host after a nine-year absence, greeted many of the night's featured performers as he cheerfully bounded past them backstage. He then joined the cast of the musical "After Midnight" for a rousing rendition of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got that Swing)."
The first award of the night was for best featured actor in a play and it went to Mark Rylance, who won his third Tony for playing the countess Olivia in "Twelfth Night." Rylance, who previously won for "Jerusalem" and "Boeing-Boeing," is also nominated for best lead actor honors for his evil title character in "Richard III."
The best featured actress in a musical Tony went to Lena Hall in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," playing a woman who dresses as a man and plays Neil Patrick Harris' boyfriend. Hall wished her dad a happy birthday and gave a shout-out to her soon-to-be-born niece. "Friendship is magic," she said.
Darko Tresnjak won for directing the musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder" and thanked his mother, a skydiver during World War II now too frail to be there. The musical also won for best book of a musical and costumes for a musical. Away from the cameras, the now-closed musical "The Bridges of Madison County" won for best score and best orchestration.
Kenny Leon won his first Tony for directing the revival of "A Raisin in the Sun." He thanked, among other, his star Denzel Washington, and the women in his life. He even managed to plug his next work, "Holler If Ya Hear Me."
One of his "Raisin" stars, Sophie Okonedo, won for best featured actress in a play. "I am loving it on Broadway," she said. She thanked producer Scott Rudin for believing that a "Jewish, Nigerian Brit" could play the iconic role of Ruth Younger.
James Monroe Iglehart, who plays the manic Genie in "Aladdin," won for best featured actor in a musical and could barely contain his glee as he thanked a long list of people that included God and his wife.
Jackman has lost none of his style, affability and humor in the nine years since he last hosted. He will be singing several songs — including all the parts from the first song in "The Music Man" — and will tease the nominees goodheartedly.
Stars helping present awards included Bradley Cooper, Kevin Bacon, Clint Eastwood, Leighton Meester, Kenneth Branagh, Kate Mara, Emmy Rossum, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Zachary Quinto.
Some 870 Tony voters — members of professional groups such as the Wing, the League, Actors' Equity Association, the Dramatists Guild and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society — decided the final 26 competitive awards. Only Broadway shows that opened in the 12 months ending April 24 are eligible.
A music-heavy lineup has been promised that includes all the best new musical nominees — "Aladdin," ''After Midnight," ''Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" — and some overlooked ones, including "Rocky," ''Bullets Over Broadway," and Idina Menzel's show "If/Then."
Three revivals — "Les Miserables," ''Violet" and "Cabaret" — will be featured. "Wicked," which is celebrating a decade on Broadway, will have its current Glinda and Elphaba sing "For Good," and there will be songs from two shows that have yet to arrive: Sting will perform from his musical "The Last Ship" and Jennifer Hudson sings from "Finding Neverland," the musical about Peter Pan.
For best play candidates, the playwrights of "Act One," ''All The Way," ''Casa Valentina," ''Mothers and Sons" and "Outside Mullingar" will each take turns introducing video snippets of their works.
This year, Broadway producers have a reason to party. The season's box offices hit a record total gross of $1.27 billion — up from $1.13 billion the previous season — and attendance was up 5.6 percent to 12.2 million.

A while back I wrote a post called "The Raider Code." Back when I wrote that post LFR was not what it is today and we did not know how much it would change the game. My wipe threshold used to be in the 100s because I used to not mind at all teaching the fights to other people. Today raiding is a different game. Nobody has the patience to learn a fight anymore. There is a video of it, there is LFR, there is just one wipe. There is no wipe Threshold, bosses should just be dropping at the sheer size of our purples. I see people geared better than me under performing all the time, and I asked myself why is the gap so big? I think the answer is LFR.
Cataclysm started to create the division between people that enjoyed learning mechanics to kill bosses and people that would just rather not die even once. You can be very good at WoW, good at questing, good at gathering, good at the auction house; but just like with any other skill practice is what will make you good at those things. I like raiding, I have done it since late BC and had plenty of chances to die because of mechanics. However, the learning curve was different for me than someone that started raiding in this expansion. I have died to mechanics over and over before, so I know that standing on something that makes me lose health will kill me. I have done content when even a couple of second of standing on something or not reacting to means everyone dies. Those mechanics are things I do without even thinking now, but not everyone has had the same number of wipes I have. Another factor is computing power. I was reminded of this not too long ago when I had to play WoW on a 2 year old laptop. The game has changed so much in this last couple of years that it almost feels unplayable. I say almost because even though I would not dare to raid on a slow connection I was able to complete an LFR. That is where my issue comes with the game today, LFR is killing the game for me.
I used to be content doing normal modes most of the time and heroics when I could get a group going that wanted to wipe a little more. Today, that same group can only do normals. Its weird but content has become so challenging that to have progression rate of any kind the mechanics have to be super complex on the surface. I would not say challenging because in reality none of what we see today in LFR or normals is really challenging with a group of seasoned raiders, however to think that someone that has been only raiding LFR can do normals is unrealistic.
A lot of people that used to play before are now content only seeing bosses via LFR. That alone poaches the numbers of normal raiders everywhere. After a couple of weeks of clearing an instance or completing the part of the legendary quest they need there is really no incentive to keep playing. Better gear with a little more stats is not enough. Being able to upgrade that gear with valor is not enough. There is really no intensive for someone to wipe 100 times trying to do a boss in normal if they can just go to LFR and LOL 6 Deternimation stacks DERP!
Raiding used to be an exercise in learning mechanics at a certain pace. Some guild could do 30 pulls in one night, others only 10… now most groups are tired after just a handful. Why would you want to have a repair bill if you can just do LFR? It really makes no sense to wipe over and over for just a little more item levels and stats. I really can't argue with that point and sometimes I question my sanity for trying to still raid normals.
I am curious though, and the reason for this post is kind of to find out within the player base we have in our guild, what kind of players do we have today?
Making LFR harder or normals easier won't solve the problem either. I know LFR itself is making me want to stop playing WoW because of the toxic behavior that almost every group has. A tool like LFR should have a ranking system that will allow you to rate other players… then again, they would never do that in WoW.

One of the most fun tasks when expecting a baby is planning and decorating the nursery. However it can be difficult to decide how to decorate it, especially as there is so much choice and so many options available. Here we take a look at a range of themes that you could choose from to create the perfect nursery for your little bundle of joy.
It's a surprise – neutral colour scheme
For those of you who want the gender of your baby to be a surprise, it can lead to some challenging decisions when looking at decorating the nursery. The best thing to do is disregard pink and blue completely and opt for a variety of neutral shades. Shades such as magnolia, latte, mocha and other pale brown hues are ideal (image 1). They are not only suitable for either a boy or a girl's bedroom, they are also timeless so will easily take your baby into their toddler years and beyond. If you are looking for something a little more geared to a nursery environment, choose a specific nursery wallpaper – these typically have furry animals and imagery on.
It's a surprise – colourful colour scheme
If you are looking for something a little more colourful than neutral shades, why not opt for the other end of the spectrum and use more vivid colours. Bright yellow, orange and lime green shades are all gender neutral yet will look fabulous in a nursery, plus they are really on-trend for the coming season. To create a fun look, use zoo themed wallpaper or murals teamed with brightly coloured woodwork accents. All young children like zoo and jungle animals so this décor will easily be suitable as your child turns into a toddler too (image 2).
It's a girl!
Pink is synonymous with little girls so what better colour to choose for your little girl's nursery. You can choose to keep it simple by painting all the walls pale pink or add a slightly more intense shade to one wall such as fuchsia for a more modern style. There are also a variety of girl's nursery wallpaper designs available which feature everything from princesses to fairies, butterflies to rainbows. Wall murals are another great way of adding a girlie look to the nursery and there is a great choice including Disney Doc McStuffins (image 3).
It's a boy!
Blue looks fabulous in any nursery. With so many shades of blue available it can be difficult to know which to choose. Pale blue shades are ideal for baby boy's bedrooms as they help to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere, however they can make a room seem cold. Therefore look for a pale blue that has been warmed up with a touch of grey or use nursery wallpaper patterns or wall murals to add accenting colours to the other walls for a fabulous look (image 4).
Whatever the gender of your little one, there are some great wallpaper styles, wall mural and paint effects available.

text: NEWPORT, VT - Despite inclement weather, an appreciative group turned out at the American Legion Friday night to give Tod Pronto and Deveney Choquette, former morning show hosts on the MOO92 radio station, a last hurrah. Subway provided sandwiches and cookies, while Steve McManus and his daughter DJ'ed the event. The Vermont Broadcasting Association took over station ownership on Dec. 31 and the last day for the duo was Dec. 28. Sarah Lee Kimball, an avid listener, said, "They're a riot! They get your morning going, like a cup of coffee. It's not the same now. I hate to see them go." She mentioned having to pull over to the side of the road on one occasion because of Deveney's contagious laughter, which she said would be missed. After six years together, five of which were doing the 6-10 a.m. show, Deveney said the new owners "wanted to move in a new direction – less talk, more music." Tod added, "We were more energetic, humorous, liked to banter. We improvised; never prepared." Deveney summed it up by saying they were "just two people having fun on the air."That improvisation paid off in terms of garnering local support for many charities including Hungerfest, the Penguin Plunge, Relay for Life, Cram a Van (school supplies for kids), and gifts for kids at Christmas. An on-air discussion about singing at nursing homes prompted so many call-ins that they decided to do it!Steve seated the pair on chairs in the center of the room and got the group to their feet, surrounding them, with the chicken dance and hokey-pokey. His daughter wowed people with her yodeling ability.What's next for them? Deveney said she's accepted a job as a morning show host at WGXL, 92.3 FM, in Lebanon, N.H., after being told that their current positions were being eliminated. Tod will continue his work as executive director of NEK-TV and is working on his third acoustic rock and blues CD. Fans can find him at TodPronto.com. They wish to thank everyone for making them a staple in the community and issued parting advice: "Have fun!"

Food question
Hi Everyone! I wonder if you can answer a question re changing food for me.
When we got Sunny from the HS last summer, he was eating Whiskas and Iams (I think it was Iams - they gave us a bag of Iams when we adopted him). Anyway, we knew enough that we needed to put him on better food and I asked my daughter to choose. She choose Eukanuba (for his dry, 24/7 nibbling food) and TechniCal for his wet (my sister feeds her cat TechniCal so my daughter chose this brand for him). Anyway, as time went on and I read more and more here (and other places), I decided to change his food again (because nothing is too good for our Sunny Boy!! :love: )
I changed his dry first - to Nutro Complete Care. Sunny loved it and it was no problem changing it (I mixed his two foods at first and after about a week, switched him over completely to Nutro -- but when the foods were mixed, he mostly ate the Nutro). Great! That was easy. We did this about 4 weeks ago.
Wet food -- well, not so easy. We started three days ago. We're trying him on Wellness (LOL - my husband read the ingredients and asked if we could serve this as paté.... )
Sunny's not liking it at all. Mind you, it's only been three days. First day he ate about 1/2 of what I put out (he gets 1/3 or a can). Second day - just a few nibbles. Today - he didn't touch it. My husband suggested mixing it with his old (like we did with the dry) - but I'm not sure. Should I just go back to the TechniCal for a while and try again some other time? Have I tried changing his wet too soon after changing his dry? I don't like him not eating his wet food.
When we switched him from the Whiskas to the TechniCal - he loved the new food - he immediately went for it and that was that. So, I just assumed it would be that easy once again (I should know better -- I've learned that one should never assume anything when it comes to cats.... )
Any advice?
From what I understand, you should always mix the food together a little first.
Prevent a litter
Fix your critter
It's my understanding that if they drink enough water, they don't need as much wet food. Just get a good human grade food like Nutros, WEllness, Solid Gold...something from a pet accessory store, NOT a pet store, don't encourage them in ANY way And stay away from grocery store brands like Whiskas if you can,,this food is garbage.
Of course and then there's the opinion of the cats!! Or as we call them in my house "HIs Majesty, and Her Ladyship!!! LOL
Good luck!
p.s. just re-read your post and yes, you could eat WEllness as pate if you want: it's human grade food. You're on your own to match up a wine though!!!
Nutro complete care should be enough...IMO.
If you are wondering if your dog can count, hide three cookies in your hand--and give him two!!

|Professional cyclists couldn't ride the way they do without being precision fit to their bicycles. Look at how Philippe Gilbert (in front) has a slight bend in his knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Look at his bent elbows and relaxed upper body. Behind him, Ricardo Ricco shows off a perfect aggressive racing position with his straight flat back and super-aero stance.
Step 2: Adjust Seat Height
The easiest do-it-yourself seat-height adjustment is done on a trainer or indoors in a doorway and requires a friend or spouse to help. Put on your cycling shorts and shoes, mount your bike in the trainer or place your bike in the doorway, get on and hold onto the doorjamb to support yourself. Have your helper stand behind.
To find seat height, place your heels on the pedals and pedal backwards. You've found the optimum seat height when your legs are completely extended at the bottoms of the pedal strokes with your heels on the pedals (photo A).
As you pedal backwards, have your helper watch for rocking hips, the sign that the seat is too high. You want to have your legs completely extended at the bottom of the pedal stroke with no rocking of the hips. With the seat set at this height, when you're actually pedaling with the balls of your feet over the pedals, you'll have the perfect bend in your knees (photo B).
Step 3: Adjust the Shoe Cleats
If you're riding in cycling shoes, it's important that the cleats on the soles are positioned correctly. There are two important adjustments, fore/aft and angular. The former is easy to find, the latter takes some careful trial and error.
The cleat should be positioned so that the balls of your feet rest over the centers of the pedals (the axles) when you're pedaling (photo A). Sight from the top when you're on the bike to check this (hold your feet level). The balls of your feet form protrusions on the insides of the shoes and these should rest right over the axles. If not, adjust the cleats as needed.
Ideally, your cleat position allows resting your feet in a natural position on the pedals. Otherwise, you could injure your knees. Usually, aligning the cleats with an imaginary line that bisects the soles provides a safe starting position (photo B). But, go for some very easy rides to check the position and ensure it's right for your knees. If you feel any stress or strain, change the angle slightly to eliminate discomfort.
Step 4: Find Fore/Aft Seat Position
This adjustment requires a helper, too. Place your bike on a level surface next to a wall or post so you can hold yourself upright (or put it on a trainer, but be sure to level the bike). Put on your biking shorts and shoes, get on and pedal backwards until you're sitting in the "sweet spot" on the seat. Move your feet into the position shown in the photo. The forward crankarm and pedal must be level with the ground. The fore/aft seat adjustment is correct when a plumb line (any piece of string with a weight on the end) hanging from your kneecap, touches the end of the crankarm.
Step 5: Check Handlebar Height
Changing handlebar height can require know-how and parts you may not have. So, we recommend using these tips only to gauge adjustment. If you discover that you need a change, we're happy to provide the parts needed and install them if you like.
The first bar-height check is comfort. If you're sore during or after rides particularly in the lower back and/or neck, the bars may need adjustment. Inspect bar height by standing your bike on a level surface and viewing it from the side comparing the height of the seat to the height of the bars (photo). For road riding, a difference of 1 to 4 inches is optimal, even slightly more, if you're a flexible racer. For off-road use and recreational riding, bar height should be equal to or up to 2 inches below the seat height. Keep in mind that these are guidelines that work for most people. Sometimes it takes a little experimentation to find the most comfortable position.
Step 6: Check Handlebar Reach
A proper reach to the handlebars is the key to enjoying comfortable rides. If the bars are too close or too far away, you may experience neck, shoulder, back and hand pain. And, it can cause you to scoot backward or forward on your seat all the time. On most bikes, to change length, you must replace the stem. And stems come in a variety of types and diameters. So you may want to have us check your position and suggest a proper replacement.
To check reach at home, put on your cycling clothes, mount your bike on a trainer and make sure the bike is level. Get on and pedal until you're comfortable with your upper body relaxed. Look ahead as if you were looking down the road. For dropped handlebars, rest your hands on the tops of the brake levers. For flat bars with bar ends, use the regular grip position. Now, have a helper look at you from the side (photo) to gauge where a plumb line dropped from the tip of your nose would fall. Optimally, there should be about an inch between the plumb line and the center of the handlebar.
Step 7: Check Handlebar Size
Most bicycles today come with handlebars that suit the person who fits the bike. So, it's likely that your handlebars fit adequately. There are lots of different handlebar sizes and shapes, however, and changing might fine-tune your fit providing additional comfort.
Check width first. For optimal control and efficiency, drop handlebars should be about the same width as your shoulders (photo). These bars come in sizes ranging from about 38- to 46-cm wide. So, if the distance between the bony protrusions on top of your shoulder blades is 42 cm, that's what the handlebar width should be.
Flat-bar widths vary, too. Usually, riders who enjoy demanding, technical trails appreciate a little additional width (24 to 27 inches), especially if they're using full suspension. All-round riders prefer a more standard width of about 22 inches. Also, if the trails you ride cut through tight spaces such as neighboring trees, you'll want to be sure the bars aren't too wide to clear the obstacles.
Handlebars come in various shapes, too. Flat bars have different bends and may include rise to help you sit more upright. Drop bars often feature anatomic bends in the hooks for more comfort. And they're sometimes bent differently on the tops to accommodate your wrists. Another consideration with drop bars is reach, the distance between the bar tops and bottoms. Usually, taller riders appreciate more reach.

Tim Cook's Dazed and Confused Years
If you want to see what Apple's CEO looked like in the mid-70s, head over to Reddit, where user whitbaker has uploaded images of what appear to be Tim Cook's yearbook from Alabama's Robertsdale High School.
Is there news value in any of this? Nope! But you'll probably want to click anyway. Meanwhile, since you're here, this is not a home video of Cook and some of the other winners of the optimist oratorical contest.

Got it. Beat it. Good game.
Imagine if they made a Splinter Cell where they gave you 5th Freedom for the whole game.... This is game you would get. I feel this game is perfect for me as my cousin likened me to Jason Vorhees traipsing around the dark stabbing people in the face and leaving bodies where they lie. That is probably its only real short coming. I can't hide my handy work anymore, though in the circumstances that Fisher is in, I don't think he really gives a rats @$$. If anyone has it, I am certainly willing to try out some co-op. I hear its a hoot.

Exploding part in Bourbon fire truck could cost $10K to fix
BOURBON — A Bourbon fire truck had a pump explode at the scene of a fire in early November, according to fire chief Brandon Chapman.
"This truck is over 15 years old and we use it for everything," said Chapman Wednesday.
He added that the department is now down to one engine and will need to call for backup from area departments in the case of a large fire.
Town council members debated the price of repairing the truck in Tuesday's meeting. Kim Berger, town clerk, said that a preliminary cost estimate for the fix is $10,000. She asked permission from council members to pay for this out of the town's Rainy Day fund.
"Right now they are having some difficulty finding the part," said Berger.
Council members approved using the Rainy Day fund for repairs, and councilman Larry Wattenbarger commented, "We have to have a fire truck."
Chapman explained that the fire department does monthly and yearly checks on its trucks, and that the pump that exploded was tested just a week before the incident.
"The pump was running fine (when it was checked) but something happened inside," said Chapman. "We don't know what, but it was devastating."
He added that at the time of the explosion, firefighters were not sure the extent of the damage. As a precaution, the truck was towed to a repair shop where it still is now.
"We haven't been given a date on the repairs," said Chapman. "(Mechanics) are looking for parts to repair (the truck) since it's old."

On this Inauguration Day, I celebrate a poet whose poem, First Light, sings forth our first Americans' legacy, the love of this land, this ground upon which we live. Linda's lineage is Chickasaw, the tribe who once lived on the land where I grew up.
To those who came before me, and to the grandmothers who watch over us from the holes in the sky through which buffalo came, I give thanks. And to Linda Hogan. I still remember our drive through the Smoky Mountains to the Pancake House outside Gatlinburg.
If I had a prayer on this day, I would pray for White Buffalo Woman to come back to us, all of us, regardless of tribe, bearing the sacred pipe, to teach us the ways of peace and healing. Bison once roamed these mountains where I now live. And once I had a vision of White Buffalo Woman on the trail ahead of me. Perhaps she was the young woman I saw coming toward me that day in April, dressed "all the way white," as we say here in the Blue Ridge. That young woman appears my my poem, "Last Light."
First Light
In early morning
I forget I'm in this world
with crooked chiefs
who make federal deals.
In the first light
I remember who rewards me for living,
not bosses
but singing birds and blue sky.
I know I can bathe and stretch,
make jewelry and love
the witch and wise woman
living inside, needing to be silenced
and put at rest for work's long day.
In the first light
I offer cornmeal
and tobacco.
I say hello to those who came before me,
and to birds
under the eaves,
and budding plants.
I know the old ones are here
And every morning I remember the song
about how buffalo left through a hole in the sky
and how the grandmothers look out from those holes watching over us
from there and from there.
Last Light
The tests I need to pass are prescribed by the spirits
of place who understand travel but not amnesia.
from "This Is My Third and Last Address to You" --Adrienne Rich
Almost the age when memory falters,
I fear being made to count backward
by seven's, to answer to date, year, and
Presidents, as if those numbers and names
matter more in the end than this place
where I stand at the same kitchen window,
observing the same pines set swaying by wind,
reaching upward as I'll reach, come morning,
my arms to the ceiling, breathing the dark out
of body and spirit, exhaling that old dream
of nothingness: laying my head down to sleep.
Now Rocky Face Ridge catches fire
in the last light and, though I can't hear it
from where I stand, Cullowhee Creek tumbles into
the Tuckaseegee, always unscrolling beneath me
the names I already know. Snowbird.
Buzzards Roost. Weyahutta. Oconaluftee.
. 3.
I don't know how long names can last
if there's no one to care where they live.
What I saw on the hairpin curve down from
the Chimney Tops, white as snow, I've not forgotten.
Phacelia. And how, on the trail leading
up to the summit of Suncota Ridge,
I saw sauntering toward me a young woman
I could have sworn was the reincarnation of
every spring wildflower ever named anywhere.
Closer she comes to me each April,
as if she means more than I have a lifetime
to know. Roundabout her, her white Easter dress
whispers every thing I want to keep living
here in this valley that cups the last swallow of light,
every name I must reach to remember or else
lose them, hillside by hillside, to darkness.

Let's face it: Keeping up with the news can be a depressing job. (I say this as someone addicted to Twitter, public radio and "CBS This Morning.")
If it's not a natural disaster, it's a shooting; if it's not a shooting, it's a plane crash; if it's not a plane crash, it's a ... black mass?
Yes, a black mass — a ritual in which people come together specifically to mock Catholicism and celebrate Satan. Now we've passed depressing and advanced to terrifying, without passing Go or collecting $200.
The story broke in early May: A group affiliated with Harvard University announced its plans to host a black mass on the campus of the institution. Along the way, the organizers — known as the Satanic Temple — wavered back and forth about whether or not they were going to be using a consecrated host during the event. The Catholic blogosphere, led by the bloodhound Elizabeth Scalia, exploded in protest.
Harvard, though it didn't endorse the event, didn't do anything to stop it.
And then some interesting things happened.
The Archdiocese of Boston rallied, denounced the black mass and countered by announcing it would hold a Eucharistic procession from the chapel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge to St. Paul Church in Harvard Square. There, a holy hour would take place.
Word got out. The protest grew. Nearly 60,000 Harvard students, faculty and alumni signed a petition against hosting the black mass on campus.
Harvard President Drew Faust issued a statement the morning of May 12 calling the decision to host the event "abhorrent."
"The 'black mass' had its historical origins as a means of denigrating the Catholic Church; it mocks a deeply sacred event in Catholicism, and is highly offensive to many in the Church and beyond," the statement said. "The decision by a student club to sponsor an enactment of this ritual ... represents a fundamental affront to the values of inclusion, belonging and mutual respect that must define our community."
She added — to the surprise of many — that she would be attending the holy hour. By the time evening rolled around, it was clear she was going to be in good company.
An estimated 1,500 faithful packed the small Boston church to pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Many more joined in from afar.
And then the announcement came that the black mass had been moved off campus and finally canceled. (Reports later suggested a "scaled-down" version continued off campus, but this hasn't been confirmed.)
A cry of relief went up from the Catholic community, and the next morning, media sites posted photos of a long adoration procession through Boston's streets and a crowded little church filled with people on their knees and hands clasped.
Now that's some news I could get used to seeing.

Analysis and prespective on Japan's most recent sales data. What does Halo 4's third-place debut mean for the FPS genre? What's releasing on Vita next week that could do anything to lift it up? Charts and thoughts within.
I can't wait for New Leaf. If Nintendo could get their online infrastructure together, Animal Crossing could really blow up for them.
3DS has officially took over japan. Look at the top 20 software. That is where you KNOW who is running the show.
WOW!! Animal Crossing did fantastic. 3DS did amazing. Congrats to Nintendo and i hope the Vita can rise up soon.

Our jurisdictions says it is against the Pride of Men (or worth, whatever) to be part of a game in that your only target is to shoot the opponent.
So... how is germany not popular?
Their claim is that the Pentagon is behind all video games and have released them, first in the 90's, in an attempt to turn our children into killers (its always about the children, huh?) they didn't do much research, as games were booming before the 1990's...Ya know, its perfectly fine for them to be the censoring dicks they are in their own country, but telling the rest of the world its gotta take every game and every system away from the people is borderlining Hitler level.
My fault, chose the wrong term there. It's against the dignity of mankind to play games in that you are to kill the other. The judges think that Lasertag simulates killing other people. By playing, the one with the most kills wins. By these rules, every person is degraded just to being an object for the other - hence, every person included loses his or her dignity. The German consitution also protects your dignity against your own will, so you can't come up by saying that it was your free choice to be part of lasertag.Nowadays, some politicans actually claim that most videogames which include killing do the same degrading. Some games actually have been banned or not published in Germany, like "Dead Rising" for the Xbox360 - in these games, your only purpose is to kill people, and if it is funny (such as in Dead Rising), it would be banned soon - for saving the dignity of man.However, if the game has a plot, you can't ban it even if includes killing. That is why most shooters and most horror movies are no problem (but age-restricted).
We have our fools like any other country in the world.

Nottingham Forest extended their fine unbeaten run at the City Ground to 31 league games after coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Barnsley.
The visitors played some good football in the early stages and were rewarded when Matthew Hill gave them the lead with 17 minutes gone.
It got better for the Tykes five minutes after the break when Kieran Trippier crossed for former Forest striker Andy Gray to head in.
Forest looked to be dead and buried but Lewis McGugan pulled one back from the penalty spot before substitute Nathan Tyson scrambled home an equaliser 10 minutes from time.
The Reds pushed for a winner late on but they had to settle for a point which kept them in ninth place in the npower Championship, while Barnsley slipped down to 18th.
Forest went into the game on a high after their midweek mauling of rivals Derby and they made a good start.
McGugan cleverly drifted away from two challenges and played the ball into the path of Chris Cohen but his cross was just about cleared with Robert Earnshaw waiting.
However, Barnsley got a foothold in the game and could have taken the lead with 15 minutes gone when Adam Hammill's crossfield ball was volleyed across goal by Trippier to Gray who saw his shot saved superbly by Lee Camp.
Two minutes later the visitors did go in front when Hill robbed the ball from Marcus Tudgay on the halfway line and ran into the area unchallenged before firing past Camp.
The goal stunned the home crowd and Wes Morgan could have drawn Forest level soon after but he headed over from six yards after being found by McGugan's free-kick.
With half-time approaching Radoslaw Majewski linked up well with Earnshaw but Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele smothered the Welshman's shot.
Forest boss Billy Davies would have been looking for his side to put Barnsley under pressure early in the second half but the visitors surprisingly doubled their lead five minutes after the break.
Trippier got away down the right and outfoxed Cohen before supplying a pinpoint cross for Gray who made no mistake with a downward header from close range.
The home side had a lifeline with 68 minutes gone when Chris Gunter was brought down by Hammill in the area and McGugan fired the resulting penalty low into the bottom corner.
Forest should have been level two minutes later but Earnshaw scooped substitute Tyson's cutback over the bar.
With 10 minutes remaining Barnsley failed to clear their lines and Tyson pounced on the loose ball to fire in and send the City Ground into raptures.

Google's first female engineer, Marissa Mayer, has made a career out of bucking expectations -- and she did so once again on Monday by announcing she will leave Google to be the new CEO of Yahoo, the struggling company that once was Google's main competitor.
The tech world reacted with shock to the news. But it's perhaps time everyone got used to the idea that Mayer, who was Google's 20th employee and who is credited with the success of many of its most famous products, isn't the kind of person who does only what people expect her to do.
"There is such a stereotype of the hacker -- the pasty-skinned guy with the thick glasses, the pocket protector, the blue glow coming off of the monitor ... people think if they're going to be good at this, that's what they need to be," Mayer told CNN in an interview earlier this year.
"You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms."
Mayer, sometimes referred to as the "Googirl," certainly has charted her own course, often weaving seemingly disparate worlds and interests together.
Raised in Wausau, Wisconsin, the 37-year-old joined Google in 1999 when it was a fledgling start-up, not an Internet titan. She danced in "The Nutcracker" ballet at Stanford and earned a degree in computer science. She espouses a love for cupcakes -- but, according to interviews with other news organizations, once created a spreadsheet to determine the perfect recipe.
At Google, Mayer was responsible for overseeing the launch of some of the company's most iconic products, including Gmail, Google Maps and iGoogle.
But it was her keen design aesthetic that in part led to her success at Google, which she helped grow into one of the biggest tech and Internet companies on the planet. Mayer's most enduring legacy at Google may prove to be the company's search engine homepage, with its minimalist feel, ample white space and bright blue, red, yellow and green colors. She is credited with pushing for that clean, approachable look -- which seems to be a reflection of her style outside the office, too.
"An engineer at heart, she also had something that many of her peers did not during Google's early days: a keen sense of style and design," the New York Times wrote in a 2009 profile. "She adored bold blocks of color against a white background, much like the Marimekko prints that once hung in her childhood home. ... Her San Francisco penthouse has a similar, but more expensive, aesthetic. It is painted in neutral shades and decorated with fanciful, multihued glass artwork by Dale Chihuly."
Mayer told the paper that people who come to her penthouse sometimes are confused, saying: "Does your apartment look like Google or does Google look like your apartment?'"
Along with executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Mayer has been one of Google's most visible public faces for the past decade. A frequent speaker at tech conferences, she has lent a dash of glamour to the jeans-and-hoodie world of many young tech engineers.
As one of a relatively small number of women in high-ranking positions in tech -- Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman are two others -- Mayer often is asked about what she thinks about the role of women in her field.
"I actually think it's the wrong question," she told Newsweek/The Daily Beast in an interview in May. "It's a question that hangs us up and causes the progress to be slower. The truth is we're not producing enough computer scientists, period."
Passion, she says, is what really matters. Not gender.
"I'm not a woman at Google, I'm a geek at Google," she told CNN in April. "If you can find something that you're really passionate about, whether you're a man or a woman comes a lot less into play. Passion is a gender-neutralizing force."
Mayer will need plenty of passion if she is to help right the ship at Yahoo, a struggling company that has seen its recent CEOs pass through the company in quick succession.Many think she is the right person for that job.
"Marissa Mayer is one of a few people who has enough gravitas to ignore public markets for a while and do what's long-term best for Yahoo," Chris Dixon, a prominent Silicon Valley investor, wrote on Twitter shortly after the news was announced.
Marc Andreessen, another prominent venture capitalist, reportedly praised the move, saying Mayer will be a product-minded CEO.
Forbes said the Yahoo job puts Mayer "in the running for the title of the most powerful woman in tech."
And the blog ReadWriteWeb said she is "just what Yahoo needs."
"This is a great move for Yahoo, which has stewed in mediocrity for years," wrote ReadWriteWeb's Dan Frommer. "Mayer, a big shot in Silicon Valley and a perfectionist product-type executive, could legitimately make Yahoo respectable again. At the very least, she will command attention."

WUSB Transmitter Problems Please help with your Donation
Hello everyone thanks for listening and supporting WUSB all year . We need an extra little bit of help right now , all the storms have caused some parts to fail at our tower site . This means we are operating at low power and may not come in in your neighborhood right now on the 90.1 fm station but you can hear everything here on our website until everything is fixed. Our great engineer Frank is working on getting us back up to full power as soon as all the parts arrive.
In the mean time we need to purchase a back up transmitter which costs from $4000 to $5000 dollars . So any extra dollars you can send our way would help WUSB out a lot, to make it easy you can donate right here http://www.wusb.fm/pledge or call 631-632-9872 (WUSB)
Thank you again and we hope you can crank us up to full power again in your community real soon ! Keep Listening ~

David Byrne's singing robot
Byrne writes:
I love where this is going. It brings to mind an image of someone sitting in a comfortable chair, maybe with friends, and maybe they're having drinks—and at the same time Jentsch posits that layered over or under this image is the profoundly creepy, the deeply strange and disturbing. We're in the land of David Lynch and Hitchcock. ET landing in the familiar U.S. suburbs could be viewed this way, or the various living dead and vampire movies.The point about disgust brings to mind Antonio Damasio's work on emotions, as well as Pascal Boyer's comments about religious rituals for corpse disposal in Religion Explained.
More recently Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori proposed the existence of something called the uncanny valley. This "valley" is an area of emotional uncertainty and often revulsion experienced by an observer when a robot or computer animation (for example) approaches being human, is almost believable, but not quite.
He suggests that our emotional empathy with animations and robots increases as they get closer and closer to being human (or animal)—but then, at a certain point, they fall into the valley, and our empathy turns to disgust. In his view they switch from being a cute thing approaching humanity to a bad or faulty version of humanity. It is at this point that we see them as not merely slightly strange, but as a human with serious problems. If the creation can succeed in being a little bit better as a believable creature the feeling of revulsion disappears. For some viewers, recent films like Beowulf fall into this valley, while others find the almost humans acceptable.
Mori further suggests that this reaction might be innate—that it might be linked to our biological reactions to people who are physically or mentally ill—or to corpses. Evolution would have ingrained this reaction as a way of weeding out sick people from the social group. Hanson and others dispute the scientific veracity of the uncanny valley, but I think no one can doubt the strange and weird emotions that well up when confronted by one of these entities.
In a subsequent post, as Julio nears completion, Byrne writes:
Like many animals, humans sing for pleasure, for sex, for attention, to express pain, to relieve angst and to join and participate in a social group. All of these urges seem, if not uniquely human, at least not at all machine like. To see machines mimic these aspects of human life, is to watch some part of our imagined souls being appropriated.To see and hear video of Julio singing, check out Byrne's blog. The show "Máquinas y Almas: Arte digital" ("Machines and Souls: Digital Art") opened on June 25.

SS conical fermenter...sources?
I'd love to move up to a seven gallon SS conical fermenter but don't really want to pony up the $500 that seems to be the going price. Does anyone have a source for good used ones or one that might be a bit more economical? Thanks

Hillary Clinton to get documentary treatment
July 30, 2013
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's life is getting the documentary treatment.
CNN Films said Monday that it plans a feature-length film on the former first lady and secretary of state to premiere next year. It will look at Clinton's professional and personal lives.
The film from Oscar-winning director and producer Charles Ferguson will have a theatrical run before airing on CNN.
Last weekend, NBC announced the four-hour miniseries "Hillary" starring Diane Lane. No air date was announced, but it is timed to precede the 2016 presidential election.
Clinton hasn't said whether she'll make another run for the Democratic nomination for president.
NBC says the miniseries will track Clinton's life and career from 1998 to the present.

"Last year when AMD announced their acquisition of ATI it led many to wonder how this would impact the quality of their Linux support and driver. Some had even speculated that AMD would be opening the code to at least a subset of their graphics drivers, and while this issue has come up again more recently, we will cover this particular topic in a different article. In this article we will be exposing what truly consists of the ATI/AMD driver development cycle and ultimately what they are really doing to improve their image in the Linux community."

there is no bible verse about masturbation. If you are referring to "onans sin" in genesis then you are immediately proving a lack of education on the subject. Onan was condemned for not fulfilling his duty of giving his brother a child, not because he stroked his slam-tube. Also, i am guessing the person who made this image has little interest in theology and any sort of scholarly pursuit of anything spiritual. But hey…lets not have a rational discussion about a position nobody genuinely wants to change their stance on.
If you change the last panel to "don't kill people" or "don't covet your neighbour's wife", it's very nearly as absurd. I think you may have missed the point.
"Any sort of scholarly pursuit of anything spiritual."
The above is an oxymoron. Scholarly and spiritual, just do not mix.
I was enjoying the picture till you had to stick in your gay %$?! about religion.
Ruined the nice picture. Can't turn my head anywhere these days, without getting a healthy dose of politically correct gayness.
"enjoying" a picture of a guy concerned about you touching yourself, now that sounds gay.

Warriors' little-used Cheaney still on mark
By Geoff Lepper, STAFF WRITER
With the basket cranked up about 25 feet into the air and hanging nearly perpendicular to the floor, the degree of difficulty was significantly higher than normal for the group of Warriors engaging in a shooting competition after practice earlier this week.
Not that it made a difference to Calbert Cheaney. The team's oldest player nailed it on the very first try.
The 13th-year swingman hasn't had much chance to show off his wares on the floor this season, but his swish on the court of New York's Reebok Sports Club was right in keeping with his dual roles: one, to be the elder statesman for the fifth-youngest team in the NBA, and two, to provide some clutch shooting in a hurry off the bench.
So far this season, it's been a lot more of former. Cheaney has played just 19 minutes in the Warriors' first five games, collecting four rebounds and one assist and taking not one solitary shot.
But he's provided invaluable wisdom to guys like Monta Ellis, the 19-year-old rookie.
"He'll just tell you what to expect, what not to do when you first come in, the ins and the outs, the on-the-court and off-the-court stuff," Ellis said. "He keeps you lifted. He knows what to do and how to do it, and what not to do. You just do nothing but respect a guy like that and take in all that he says."
There's plenty of stories that Cheaney could relate, if he so chose. Only two other Warriors were even in high school when Cheaney was selected sixth in the 1993 NBA draft by the Washington franchise then known as the Bullets.
The former college Player of the Year at Indiana — he was the player that coach Bobby Knight feigned whipping in an infamous PR stunt gone awry — has since gone on to play for 10 coaches in five cities.
"Cal understands the pro game. He understands what it takes to win," Warriors coach Mike Montgomery said. "He understands the work. And I think he's been good for the young guys. He's a quiet guy, but Calbert's always there."
Cheaney is happy to dispense guidance, if it's requested.
"Myself and Derek (Fisher) and (Adonal Foyle) to a certain extent, we just try to be there for them," Cheaney said. "Obviously the decisions are theirs. Hopefully we'll help point them in the right direction."
Cheaney is so well-respected among his peers that Mike Dunleavy has put him on a pedestal only one other player has reached.
"He's probably, along with Shane Battier, the best teammate I've ever had. He's just so professional," Dunleavy said. "He's always positive, easy to talk to, and he puts the team ahead of himself, and that's pretty rare these days."
Rare too, however, are the times when Cheaney gets to come off the bench.
Among the Warriors, only Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Ike Diogu have played fewer minutes — and the latter two have been hurt for four and all five games, respectively.
"You've just always got to be ready to go," Cheaney said. "You've always got to take the same approach and stay in the best shape. You've got to stay positive. You can't think negatively."
Montgomery can feel for Cheaney's situation.
"It's the hardest job for anybody to do because you don't know when you're going to play and how much you're going to play, yet you're expected to come in and perform," Montgomery said. "In this league, it kind of comes with the territory."
So far, Cheaney has been used primarily as a stopgap. He played 12 minutes in the Warriors' 85-84 loss to Chicago on Wednesday after Jason Richardson suffered a sprained ankle in the first quarter and was part of a group that Montgomery credited with providing some key energy in the first half.
When the time comes to provide offense, Cheaney is confident it won't be a problem.
"It's like riding a bike," Cheaney said. "It's just a matter of being ready mentally and being in the game."
Dunleavy, for one, is certain that time will come.
"I think he's going to be a big part of our team this year, whether he plays 5 minutes or 45 or doesn't play at all," Dunleavy said. "I think he's going to be a big factor, and I think at some point we're going to need him out there."

Yeah, dude... a lotta people bag on Calbert because of him being disappointing for the Wizards/Bullets, but the truth is that he's invaluable to players like Monta Ellis and Mickael Pietrus on the Warriors. Calbert Cheaney and Derek Fisher are worth their pay through words of wisdom alone.

What to Watch on Your Turkey Day Weekend
No plans after your Thanksgiving feast? Hit the theater and fill up on these upcoming flicks
Have visions of turkey and chestnut stuffing started dancing in your head? Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and we're already talking nonstop about brining vs. grilling the big bird. And while we can't stop dreaming about the luxurious four-day vacation, we have no plans to do anything after the dishes are cleared.
What do you do with your family and loved ones once all the food is gone? If your family is anything like mine, chances are you'll head out to the movies — and you'll have strong opinions about what to see. Since being forewarned is forearmed, you might want to keep an eye on what's out there. Here are my suggestions:
For the whole family: The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Kids will enjoy the classic look of the stop-motion animation and the funny, furry protagonists, and teens and young adults will love the aesthetic that hip director Wes Anderson brings to the story.
For the adults: Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
As I mentioned last week, this little indie film is getting lots of attention — and lots of box-office dollars — for its inspiring story and powerful performances.
For the 'tweens: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
If you don't know what this is already, you don't have a 'tween in the house and just won't get it.
To shock you out of the tryptophan coma: 2012
If all of the holiday activity makes your brain melt to the point where you don't want to invest in characters and plots, this end-of-the-world tale is full of mindless special effects and spectacular action sequences to get your heart beating again.
To fill the void after the football game: The Blind Side
Based on the book by Michael Lewis, this movie will attract sports fans and sideliners alike with its combination of human drama and football action.
For the ladies: Broken Embraces
Nobody writes better roles for women than Pedro Almodóvar, director of All About My Mother and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
For the men: Ninja Assassin
The title just says it all, doesn't it?
For families with members serving in the military: The Messenger
This indie may be harder to find, but the film — about a pair of army officers on "bereavement notification" detail — has racked up some pretty positive reviews.
For those who want to jump the gun a little: A Christmas Carol
If you're the type of person that isn't totally irritated by the Christmas music in department stores the day after Halloween, Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture animation is a promising and faithful adaptation of the Dickens tale.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – King College took one of two games in Thursdays' doubleheader action against the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters at the KC Softball Complex. The Lady Tornado extended its winning streak to eight games with an 11-1 drubbing of LMU in game one but fell 4-2 in the nightcapper to bring the streak to an end.
GAME ONE: Lincoln Memorial 1, King 11 (F/5)
King's offense came to play, battering LMU starting pitcher Cierra Mudd with 11 runs and 11 hits in the five-inning affair. Cassie Ringstaff (Richlands, Va.) led the team with three hits, all singles, and scored all three times she reached base. Fallon Thomas (Bristol, Va.) led the Lady Tornado with three RBI while teammates Christina Melcher (Orlando, Fla.) and Tiffany Brand each had two.
Tiffany Brand (Knoxville, Tenn.) put King on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second when with runners on the corners she singled to left field, scoring Kendall Brabson and moving Ringstaff to third. Two batters later, an error by second baseman Sarah Walz kept the inning alive and allowed Ringstaff to score, putting King up 2-0. Cora Milliken singled to put runners on second and third and was followed by Fallon Thomas and her two RBI single up the middle to cap off King's four-run second inning.
King came back with three more runs in the third inning, all unearned. With the bases loaded and two outs, Cierra Mudd hit Christina Melcher on a 1-1 inside fastball to plate one. Cora Milliken (Jacksonville, Fla.) hit a solid single to left, scoring one and keeping the bases load for Thomas who drew a walk to force home the Lady Tornado's third run of the inning and take a 7-0 lead.
The bottom of the King order kept the runs coming through four consecutive hits, leading to four more runs and a commanding 11-0 lead. Cassie Ringstaff hit a single to right that was misplayed by Kelly Dreier and allowed her to advance to second. Tiffany Harris recorded a single to left, scoring Ringstaff, and advanced to second on the throw to the plate setting up for Tiffany Brand's run-scoring single. Stephanie Rodriguez (Lake Mary, Fla.) knocked Brand home with a triple that hit the heart of the right center field gap to give King a 10-run lead. She later scored when she beat out a throw to the plate on a grounder from third to end the scoring for the inning.
Hannah Light (Coeburn, Va.) received more than enough offense to carry her through five innings en route to her fifth complete game of the season. She cruised through the Railsplitter lineup, retired the side in order in each of the first three innings. She struck out three of her four total in the first three innings, including two in the third. Perfection was broken up in the fourth, but the defense stepped up and kept LMU off of the board. Fallon Thomas pegged Brianna Mulkey at second base on a stolen base attempt and stranded two runners in the inning to keep the shutout intact. Lincoln Memorial spoiled the shutout effort when Mulkey beat out a bunt down the first base side, allowing Krisha Mahan to score. Light allowed only five hits, walked none and struck out four in her fourth win of the season.
The win extended King's winning streak to eight games.
GAME TWO: Lincoln Memorial 4, King 2
A three-run third inning made the difference in King's 4-2 loss to LMU in game two of the doubleheader. Rachael Wilmoth (Morristown, Tenn.) took the loss after surrendering all four Railsplitter runs as the Lady Tornado offense collected only four hits and left the tying run at the plate as the game ended.
After Lincoln Memorial took advantage on a two-out error with the bases loaded to go up 1-0 in the second, the Railsplitters started the inning off with Kelly Dreier singling up the middle and then swiping second base on the next at bat. Cierra Mudd hit a double to left center field to score Dreier and Sarah Walz singled home LMU's third run of the game before a pitching change was made.
Up 3-0, Hannah Light entered and recorded the final two outs of the inning, stranding two runners on base. The sophomore kept King in the game, retiring the next 12 batters from the fourth inning on and allowing zero base runners.
King scored twice on a two RBI triple from Christina Melcher in the bottom of the fifth but left two runners in scoring position between the sixth and seventh innings. Cora Milliken hit a two-out double to left field, but Meghan LeFevor struck out the final batter, her ninth of the day, to end the game.
With the split, King advances their record to 14-10 overall heading back into conference play. They look to improve upon their 3-5 league record against Pfeiffer University on Monday, March 26, in two games beginning at 2:00 p.m. The game was rescheduled due to the untimely loss of Falcon Softball assistant coach Ray Harrington, Wednesday afternoon.

An ex-U.S. Marine wearing military clothing opened fire on more than a dozen co-workers at a supermarket early Friday, killing two of them and himself, authorities said.
The 23-year-old man left his shift at a Pathmark store in the U.S. state of New Jersey around 3:30 a.m. and returned a half-hour later to the closed store with a handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle, Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said. About 12 to 14 workers were still there.
The man fired at least 16 rounds from the rifle at the first workers he saw, killing an 18-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man as other workers hid, Kaplan said.
"I do not believe that they were specifically targeted. I believe everybody in the store was a target," said Kaplan.
The gunman then killed himself, said Kaplan.
He did not release the name of the suspect, but a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation identified him as Terence Tyler, an ex-Marine who was discharged in 2010. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because his agency is not in charge of the investigation.
Tyler never served overseas, said Marine spokeswoman Capt. Kendra Motz. She wouldn't comment on the circumstances of his discharge.
At the top of a Facebook page for a Terence Tyler who says he served in the Marines on the exact dates of the shooter has this slogan: "Be optimistic. All the people you hate are going to eventually die."
Tyler moved to an apartment near the Pathmark earlier this summer, neighbors said. Co-workers said he had been only working at the store for a few weeks.
Pathmark worker Miranda Miranda said she steered clear of Tyler. "The way he looked at me, he gave me an uneasy vibe," she said.
She had worked on the overnight shift Thursday night into Friday morning before switching a few weeks ago.
"Right now, all I know is what keeps coming into my mind," she said. "That could've been me."
Tyler spent the July 4 weekend drinking at Jersey shore bars with Manase Acheantong, who said Tyler was his friend's cousin.
"We went out. We had drinks. He was a normal kid. He didn't start no fights. He didn't seem crazy," said Acheantong, 25.
John Niccollai, president of a foodworkers union that represents some store employees, said Pathmark officials and workers told him the gunman wore military clothing and had just punched out for the night before coming back into the store and opening fire.
Many of the employees escaped gunfire, Niccollai said, when an assistant manager, "who I would view as a hero," helped many workers to get out of the store through the back door.
Kaplan and police walked through the shooting scene at the supermarket Friday morning, with two long windows in the front completely shot through. Police kept onlookers away; a number of vehicles were in the parking lot outside, along with police cars.
The store and its parking lot were closed.
A spokeswoman for Pathmark's parent company, Montvale-based Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. said Friday the company is "deeply saddened" by the shooting and is cooperating with investigators.
"We express our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and our appreciation to local law enforcement," spokeswoman Mary Connor said.

Naturalism and Nihilism
But is Haught being fair to tar atheism, and therefore naturalism, with the brush of religiosity and faith? Are naturalists creedal about scientism, which Haught defines as the idea that "science alone is a reliable road to true understanding of anything"? No. Naturalists don't (or shouldn't) suppose that all truths are scientific truths, only that science is our best guide to understanding the ultimate constituents of reality and the things they compose – the "furniture of the universe." (More on distinguishing science from scientism is here, here and here.) Naturalists' commitment to science in this regard isn't a matter of faith, it's based on experience – the widely shared experience that beliefs about the world based in science are generally more reliable than those that aren't. If we want reliable beliefs, then it's rational to stick with science, not a matter of faith. So it isn't, as Haught says, self-contradictory to assert we shouldn't base beliefs about the world on faith, but rather on science, since this assertion isn't based on faith.
Haught takes the new "soft-core" atheists to task for accepting mainstream values and modern lifestyles, saying that they aren't being true to the real implications of atheism. The old hard-core atheists such as Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre saw that "a full acceptance of the death of God would require an asceticism completely missing in the new atheistic formulas." They would advise, as Haught puts it, that
If you're going to be an atheist, the most rugged version of godlessness demands complete consistency. Go all the way and think the business of atheism through to the bitter end. This means that before you get too comfortable with the godless world you long for, you will be required by the logic of any consistent skepticism to pass through the disorienting wilderness of nihilism. Do you have the courage to do that?
For Haught, true atheism and naturalism necessarily end up in nihilism. Since the new atheists obviously aren't nihilists, being good bourgeois and all, they aren't real, rugged atheists. He asks
Has [Sam] Harris really thought about what would happen if people adopted the hard-core atheist's belief that there is no transcendent basis for our moral valuations? What if people have the sense to ask whether Darwinian naturalism can provide a solid and enduring foundation for our truth claims and value judgments? Will a good science education make everyone simply decide to be good if the universe is inherently valueless and purposeless? At least the hard-core atheists tried to prepare their readers for the pointless world they would encounter if the death of God were taken seriously.
The equation of naturalism with nihilism is a standard scare tactic, but it doesn't bear on the truth or plausibility of naturalism or theism. Even if Darwinian naturalism can't provide "a solid and enduring foundation for our truth claims and value judgments" this isn't proof that it's false, or that god exists. It's only a reason to hope god exists, on the questionable assumption that his authority provides a secure basis for moral values (see here).
It turns out, however, that the hard-core atheists (at least as Haught describes them) were wrong: an atheistic naturalism doesn't end up in nihilism, so we needn't run scared into the arms of god. Without a transcendent, theistic basis for our moral valuations, there are still compelling reasons for naturalists to be moral: we are animals whose flourishing within a society critically depends on behaving morally toward others. Moreover, we are built by evolution to take moral rules as universally binding (see here). This explains why the new atheists are just normal folk, not nihilists, when it comes to values and lifestyles: they, like pretty much everyone else, are moral by nature.
Haught closes with a question:
Belief in God or the practice of religion is not necessary in order for people to be highly moral beings. We can agree with soft-core atheists on this point. But the real question, which comes not from me but from the hard-core atheists, is: Can you rationally justify your unconditional adherence to timeless values without implicitly invoking the existence of God?The answer, as we've seen, is an unequivocal yes. Of course it isn't that naturalism avoids value conflict and moral ambiguity, but patently neither does theism, whether it's what Haught considers the insipid, faith-based varieties, or the more "empirical" theological varieties. Since he admits that belief in god isn't necessary for being moral, this puts naturalists and theists on at least an equal moral footing. That naturalists are not nihilists doesn't implicitly invoke the existence of god, it's simply evidence that morality is a natural phenomenon. As Dan Dennett would say, thank goodness!
