Topher was raised in Darien, Connecticut. He attended school in Massachusetts for two years, where he began his acting career in such musicals as "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "The Pirates of Penzance." He also tried his first shot at directing with a choose-your-own-adventure-style movie starring his classmates. His first name is Christopher, and he hated being called Chris in school, so he changed it to Topher as time went on. He attended New Hampshire's Brewster Academy and the University of Southern California.
Grace dropped out of USC to start his show business career in "That '70s Show" (1998) at age 20. He was cast in that show because the show's creators, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner (I), saw him act in a high-school play--their daughter attended same high school. Apart from school plays, Grace had absolutely no acting experience before landing the role of Eric Forman.

That's a bad sign: 100ft crucifix built in honour of John Paul II collapses and crushes a man to death just two days before he is declared a saint
- Marco Gusmini was killed when the sculpture fell in Cevo, northern Italy
- The 21-year-old tourist had been visiting the Alpine village on a church trip
- 100ft high wooden cross was built in honour of John Paul II in 1998
- It fell suddenly during a ceremony in lead up to his canonization on Sunday
A young pilgrim has been crushed to death by a giant crucifix dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
The 100ft curved wooden cross collapsed during a ceremony in northern Italy days before the former Pope's canonisation.
Marco Gusmini, 21, on a visit with other young Catholics to the Alpine village of Cevo, was killed instantly.
Scroll down for video
The 100ft crucifix built in honour of John Paul II in 1998 collapsed during a ceremony in Cevo, northern Italy
The 100ft high wooden cross, supporting a 90 stone statue of Jesus, created when John Paul II visited the area in 1998, fell suddenly following a few crunches
Mayor Silvio Citroni said the accident was 'an unexplainable tragedy'. 'A young life, so many hopes destroyed,' he added.
'The young people were making a snack for lunch and when they heard the crunching noises coming from the cross they fled in all directions. Unfortunately Marco ran in the wrong direction.
'This is a place for pilgrimages and family visits. We never imagined that something like this could happen.' Mr Citroni said maintenance work had been carried out on the crucifix last summer.
Mr Gusmini had been visiting the area with a church group from his home town of Bergamo, where - ironically - he lived on a street named after Pope John XXIII, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
The tragedy will inevitably be seen as an ill omen for Sunday's celebration when John Paul II is to be declared a saint, along with Italian pope John XXIII.
Some 800,000 Catholic pilgrims from around the world are expected to journey to Rome to celebrate the double canonisation.

The curved cross, with a statue of Jesus weighing 1,320lb fixed to the top, was designed by sculptor Enrico Job in honour of John Paul II's visit to Brescia, in Lombardy, in 1998. It was installed in a scenic location near Cevo in 2005.
The crucifix was anchored with cables intended to represent the scars of the Second World War.
This is not the first death caused by a falling crucifix in Italy.
In 2004 a 72-year-old woman was crushed to death by a 7ft metal crucifix in the southern town of Sant'Onofrio, Calabria.

DUBLIN, Mar. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w7wvqn/technological) has announced the addition of the "Technological Innovation and Future of Retail Industry - How will Consumer Adoption of Technology Reshape the Retail Industry?" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
Report covers evolution of modern retail, effect of technology and emergence of omni channel retailing. The report also captures current issues retailers are facing while adopting omni channel and offers solutions to problems available through new Point of Sale terminals. The report also includes case studies of top retailers who have adopted omni channel retail.
The United States has a well-established retail industry. The retail industry has generated sales revenue of US$4.5 trillion from about 3.8 million retail establishments in 2013. Offline sales and online sales contribute to 94% and 6% of the total sales respectively.
Until early 2000's, the retail industry in the U.S. was primarily a brick and mortar system. The primary purpose of stores was to distribute products. Stores were in many cases the only means of distributing products to a specified market. Currently the brick and mortar sales are $4.25 trillion which grew at a CAGR of 2% over the last 5 years. The industry has undoubtedly witnessed slump in sales in the last five years with the emergence of ecommerce.
In the last 8 years ecommerce has played an increasingly important role in the U.S. retail industry. Electronic commerce is a type of industry where buying and selling of products or services are conducted over electronic systems such as the internet and other computer networks. The emergence of ecommerce has not affected the product prices, but has also resulted in bringing about a change in the way in which business is conducted.
The primary driver for the ecommerce industry has been the consumer adoption. Today's, consumers are increasingly embracing digital technologies and devices at all stages of their buying journey. Ecommerce gained momentum since 2005 and since then it has posed threat to the traditional retail system Current sales of ecommerce industry are pegged at $263 Billion. The ecommerce industry has witnessed a phenomenal growth of 14% CAGR in the last 5 years and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5% through 2018 where as the brick and mortal retail is expected to grow at almost 1/4th of ecommerce.
To overcome this drop in sales and to compete with the ecommerce industry; traditional retailers started launching their own online stores - Multi-channel sales strategy. In this process, many retailers attempted ecommerce, by setting up online operations as standalone businesses with separate technology. The channels available to businesses were created through Internet and mobile. This drastically changed the retail landscape. For example, email, text messages, e-commerce services and technology have created new opportunities for business. These multiple channels have helped in creating a reliable distribution channel that concentrate on different demographic populations. Multichannel contributes to the rapid growth of revenue, branding, loyalty and positive word of mouth.
Key Topics Covered:
I. Executive Summary
II. Evolution of Retail industry
III. Emergence of Omni Channel Retail
IV. Case Studies (Omni Channel success)

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff hap...

Laugh Pack Continues With New Lineup in Thousand Oaks Tonight
The Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza Foundation presents the third installment of THE LAUGH PACK in the Scherr Forum Theatre at 8:30 pm tonight, February 15, 2013.
The show lineup features host Bruce Fine (The Tonight Show), Dennis Regan (David Letterman, Showtime) and Brian Scolaro (Comedy Central, Conan O'Brien), in additional to singer and pianist Sonya Kahn. This performance will take place in the Cabaret Lounge which launched last year, where patrons are able to order drinks at the bar inside the theatre and cabaret table seating is available when they purchase their show tickets. Doors open at 7:45pm and the Laugh Pack orchestra will start playing at 8:00 pm.
Bruce Fine wanted to create a show like there was in the vintage days of Las Vegas: an all-star jam of great comedians and singers sharing the stage and the fun...something like the Rat Pack. In July 2009, The Laugh Pack was born. Bruce gathers the best comedians in the business, joined by a featured singer singing the classic Rat Pack classics. The show, which has set up at venues from Hollywood to Van Nuys to Simi Valley to Temecula, has been called "The BEST show in town! In every town it visits!"
Actor, writer, and stand-up comedian Brian Scolaro is most known as Doug on TBSs Sullivan and Son, Stuart on FOXs Stacked, and Gordon on NBCs Three Sisters as well as many other television programs, comedy specials and films. Dennis Regan has made numerous appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Showtime, and Comedy Central.

Two people have been arrested for rioting in the Lower Newtownards Road, where golf balls, bricks and fireworks were also thrown at police lines.
A PSNI spokesperson said no officers are believed to have been injured as a result.
Bricks, bottles and other items were also thrown between rival loyalist and nationalist crowds at the Short Strand interface.
Police said there was "an element within these crowds that is intent on violence".
A line of police land rovers and officers in riot gear moved in along the Lower Newtownards Road to disperse crowds.
UTV reporter Marc Mallett, who was at the scene, said: "The violence that I witnessed in east Belfast this evening was rather vicious. It all happened as Orangemen were trying to complete their parade returning along the Newtownards Road past the Short Strand interface."
Two water cannons were deployed in the area and the road was closed to motorists.
The Parades Commission must go but violence is not the way to achieve it. All protests must be peaceful.Orange Order

Later it is understood a band was stopped on the Albertbridge Road to prevent it from approaching the area.
Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road were also closed due to a build up of crowds in the area.
On Twitter DUP leader Peter Robinson wrote that reports from party members "attest to the trouble starting when the parade was attacked from Short Strand".
Local Sinn Féin Councillor Niall O'Donnghaile described his comments as "highly irresponsible".
He said homes on Strand Walk and St Matthew's Church had been attacked on Friday.
"Some young people from within the Short Strand did then engage in stone throwing back and forward over the interface for a short period," he said.
"What was orchestrated was the decision of the Orange Order to wind up the situation in Belfast knowing it would result in violence on the streets."
Local MP Naomi Long said: "Violence is never inevitable and all attacks on the PSNI and community must be condemned.
"We need responsible language and leadership from elected representatives, rather than blame game politics to ensure this violence is brought to an end," the Alliance representative added.
Police said the Lower Newtownards Road, Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road have now reopened to traffic after crowds dispersed.
Serious disorder also erupted in north Belfast after an Orange feeder parade was prevented from passing the Ardoyne shopfronts.
Elsewhere police said crowds gathered on the Killylea Road in Armagh.
Reacting to the evening's events, the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has called for calm.

Pet Tip
Service Dogs and Autistic Children – Pet Tip 253
Dogs help humans in so many ways. They help with companionship, with tasks that they carry out for us and sometimes they help make every day living much easier. Perhaps the best demonstration of this fact is when dogs help people with disabilities. Many of us have seen dogs helping blind people and many have heard of dogs that feel when a seizure in an epileptic person is about to occur and then protect them from injury. Dogs can also help aid autistic children and parents of autistic children in many ways as well. Recent studies suggest that the prevalence of autistic children in Canada may be 1 in 165 children or higher. Therefore, many people may well personally know of an autistic child in their extended family, or know of friends or acquaintances that have an autistic child. So how can dogs help these autistic children?
The National Service Dogs (NSD) organization in Ontario Canada, is one of the best organizations that specifically help train dogs to make the lives of autistic children better. You might be wondering how a service dog can be useful to autistic children

Woodrell's 'The Maid's Version' is superbly textured
It's been several years since the publication of Daniel Woodrell's slim, harrowing and much-celebrated "Winter's Bone." Now "The Maid's Version" has finally hit the bookstores, and it's even slimmer — just 164 pages. But don't let that fool you. Woodrell can pack more story, truth and human emotion in that space than most writers can in three times the pages.
The new novel was inspired by a real event, an explosion that destroyed a dance hall in West Plains, Mo., in the 1920s, killing dozens of young people. Growing up in the Ozarks, Woodrell heard the back-porch stories — whispers that the tragedy was no accident and that someone a member of his family once worked for might have somehow been to blame.
The author chose to tell his highly fictionalized version of a story through the memories of Alma DeGeer Dunahew as she gradually reveals facts, rumors and suspicions to her grandson. Alma — bitter, vengeful and somewhat dotty — thinks the rich banker she once worked for as a maid deliberately caused the explosion that killed, among others, her promiscuous sister. But other characters, including mobsters from St. Louis, local gypsies and a preacher who saw the dance hall as a den of iniquity, provide a host of plausible suspects.
The book's first line introduces Alma from the grandson's point of view in Woodrell's typically stark fashion: "She frightened me every dawn the summer I stayed with her."
On one level, the story is a who-dunnit, but it is much more than that. "The Maid's Version" is a superbly textured novel about a community coping with tragedy and poisoned by suspicions and festering anger. It is a novel about memory and about growing old. And it is also an exploration of the nature of storytelling itself.
Woodrell tells his story partly through the colloquial voices of its Ozark characters and partly through narration that manages to be hard-boiled yet richly poetic. Readers will be reminded once again why critics so often compare him to William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy.
Bruce DeSilva, winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award, is the author of "Cliff Walk" and "Rogue Island" and writes for the Associated Press.

Monday's Other Supreme Court Decision That Attacked Female Workers
The Hobby Lobby decision sucked up most of the media coverage of women's rights on Monday, but the other big Supreme Court decision, in Harris v. Quinn, was yet another blow to the rights of working women. In that case, the court decided against decades of precedent allowing unions to prevent free riders by charging "fair share" fees to workers who aren't unionized but still profit from collective bargaining by enjoying higher wages and better benefits. The court was unwilling to completely bulldoze that precedent, so the decision only affected a certain group of workers: Home health care workers who are paid by the government but work in the homes of their patients, a group that happens to be mostly female. Unions representing other public employees, like firefighters, police officers, and teachers, can continue to collect the fair-share fees.
At Talking Points Memo, Sheila Bapat argues that the female predominance of the group is not merely a coincidence, but part of the reason the court felt justified in stripping Illinois' home health care unions of their power and likely ending them completely:
Why did Alito and his conservative brothers on the Court (literally, all 5 joining in the majority are men) rule this way? Principally, the Court bought the argument that "a home is not a union workplace." The Court bought into the idea that the specifics of the domestic worker's work arrangement causes domestic work to fall outside of the Abood framework.
This sense that domestic and caring labor is not "real" labor and therefore doesn't need the same protections as other kinds of labor may not be intentionally sexist. (Though it's worth noting, as Bapat does, that the justices who ruled against the mostly female workforce in question are all men). But regardless of the decision's intentions, the effect of systematically devaluing forms of labor that just happen to be female-dominated amounts to a type of discrimination against women that, in turn, contributes to the problem of wage inequality. Women of color are hit particularly hard:
Domestic workers—mostly women of color who care for children, elderly, disabled and ill—are among the lowest-paid workers in the United States. There are some 2 million domestic workers in the country, many of whom are serving the most elderly and disabled populations as part of programs like the one in Illinois. Several states have, like Illinois, established programs through which they pay domestic workers to care for their state's most vulnerable populations. These unions have been shown to reduce worker turnover as well as improve care for those who need it most.
The fact that this decision will degrade the quality of care for homebound patients is particularly ironic, as it was one of those patients, Pam Harris, who sued to end the union. Harris said she didn't want her home to be a "union workplace." There can be no better symbol of the Fox News generation than a person who'd rather suppress the wages of health workers than ensure the quality of her own care.
This decision falls right in line with the an increasingly gendered attack on unions, with female-dominated unions such as teacher's unions or other service industry unions getting the lion's share of abuse from politicians and right-wing media. Part of this just reflects the changing nature of work in America, no doubt. Female-dominated industries are a growing part of the labor force and, as such, are going to attract more abuse from anti-labor forces. But, as this Supreme Court decision shows, "feminine" caring professions like teaching and nursing are still regarded not as real work, but as merely something ladies do to earn a little pin money. The result is lower wages overall for women and increasing hardships for families that rely on their incomes for more than frivolities.

Dilapidated Downtown Rhinelander Street Corner to Be Filled with Park, New Sign
Submitted: 05/16/2013
Ben Meyer
Executive Producer
Play Video
- Peeling decals, a broken clock, and overgrown bushes marked a downtown Rhinelander corner for at least a decade.
But a new LED display sign and a recognition of veterans are on the way.
They will make up the new look for the corner of Courtney and Davenport.
Rhinelander-based startup Digital Outdoors is making the project its first since the company's creation.
"We're going to revamp this corner for the beautification of Rhinelander. We'll be putting in a Veterans' Memorial Park where people can buy bricks to memorialize their veteran that they love," says Digital Outdoors sign operator Amanda Sampey.
The park will include flowers and benches for reflection.
It should be complete by late fall or early spring.
Meanwhile, the new sign will be put up on May 28.
The three-sided display will have a picture quality similar to the billboard you see here.
Information and ads will change every six seconds.
"When local residents see the Digital Outdoors sign that's coming in on May 28, they'll be pleasantly surprised...Digital Outdoors hopes to take this corner that was an eyesore and turn it into a beautiful corner for downtown Rhinelander to enjoy," says Sampey.
Each panel on the sign will be five and a half feet tall and fourteen feet wide.

Wisconsin insurers signing up same-sex couples
Submitted: 10/25/2014
- Several Wisconsin insurance companies are holding special sign-ups so same-sex couples can add spouses to their health plans.
The special enrollment period is needed because gays and lesbians who got married this summer were unable to add spouses to their coverage amid the uncertainty surrounding the legal status of their marriages.
People generally can make changes to a health plan during the year only after a ``life-changing'' event, such as a marriage, divorce, or birth or adoption of a child.

- The DNR will make changes to how people register deer. This year they're starting a program allowing hunters to register deer online or by phone.
Only some hunters will take part in the program. Next year it will be in full effect.
"Right now we're doing a pilot program in 2014, where there's 14,000 people who've been picked to practice this registration. And next year everybody will be able to either register by phone or on the internet. They will still have the opportunity to register at a station as long as there is a telephone or a computer for them," says DNR Conservation Warden Paul Hartrick.

Wohler Names Steve Farmer Director of Engineering
SAN FRANCISCO — June 3, 2014 — Wohler Technologies today announced the appointment of Steve Farmer as the company's director of engineering. In taking on oversight of Wohler's engineering activities, Farmer will be responsible for consolidating and focusing the company's engineering efforts to target key markets more effectively.
"Wohler's engineering team has always been the heart of the company, and we have remained a leader in the field by listening to our customers and delivering unique solutions," said Carl J. Dempsey, Wohler president and CEO. "Steve brings to Wohler a wealth of experience and a history of delivering results. His work will aid us not only in maintaining our role as an extension of customers' own engineering resources, but also in continuing to marry our very successful monitoring technologies with our groundbreaking stream-based and file-based solutions."
Farmer began his engineering career shortly after earning his degree in electronic systems engineering from the University of Essex and completing an apprenticeship at Thorn EMI Ferguson. In his first professional role, he rose to the position of senior design engineer at Northern Telecom Defence Systems Division, where he developed key technologies and products in the field of fiber optics and secure and cryptographic communications systems.
Farmer subsequently joined the GEC-Marconi Future Systems Laboratory as a principal engineer and then moved on to Drake Electronics in the broadcast sector, developing communications and talkback systems for studios and outside broadcast facilities. When Drake was acquired by the Vitec Group in 1998, he moved from the role of engineering manager to that of director of engineering for both Drake and Clear-Com in the Bay Area. As his role evolved, Farmer also participated in business development, acquisitions, change management, and product management.
In 2005, he founded Claratech Limited, which later acquired both BAL Broadcast and Faraday Technology Corporation, all of which operated profitably. Recently Farmer founded DSMB Technology, which develops a variety of video, audio, and communication products for specific clients. He holds two patents, one for a digital wireless communication system and the other related to the transmission of digital audio.
Information about Wohler and the company's products is available at www.wohler.com.

A missile defense victory
Posted by
Wednesday, April 10. 2013
Comments (0)
Kim Jong Un has done the near-impossible. The newly minted supreme leader of North Korea has forced the Obama administration to admit that the United States needs more missile defense.
Since it was introduced by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, Democrats have reflexively denounced the idea of a defense against incoming ballistic missiles as wholly unworkable, impossibly expensive and dangerously destabilizing. Much better to leave ourselves exposed and work to sweet-talk our enemies out of their hostility and their weapons.
In keeping with this approach, upon taking office the Obama administration promptly nixed additional interceptors planned for deployment on the West Coast against the budding North Korean missile threat. George W. Bush had already put 30 interceptors at two sites on the West Coast, a symptom of his "Cold War mind-set" that the supple and sophisticated Obama administration had no use for.
As it turns out, it is North Korea that truly has the Cold War -- or perhaps worse -- mindset. In the words of new Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Pyongyang has "made advances in its capabilities and has engaged in a series of irresponsible and reckless provocations." It conducted a third nuclear test, apparently a successful one. It put a satellite in orbit with a Taepodong-2 missile. It displayed what appeared to be a road-mobile ICBM.
While threatening to "miserably destroy" U.S. units in South Korea and turn that country's capital into a "nuclear sea of fire," Pyongyang has vowed that North Koreans "will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor," which is, of course, none other than the United States.
Rather than simply trust that a lunatic regime running its country like a vast prison camp will rationally calculate its self-interest as we would hope, the Obama administration says it is going to add back the 14 canceled interceptors. This will take the number of West Coast interceptors from 30 to 44, but with unnecessary expense and delay. The new interceptors should be online in 2017, or by the end of the president's second term.
While the restoration is heartening, the Obama administration has pulled the plug on the development of more technologically advanced defense systems and can't overcome its compulsion to make unilateral concessions to the Russians. Hagel said the administration won't complete the final phase of a defense system in Europe to guard against an Iranian launch targeting the United States.
Why seek protection from Kim Jong Un, but not Ayatollah Khamenei?
Liberals once insisted that a missile couldn't possibly be made to hit another missile. Now, the technology has been demonstrated to work again and again. It is one of the reasons that the Israelis didn't invade Gaza in response to the rocket barrage emanating from there a few months ago. It protected itself with the Iron Dome defense system that intercepted about 85 percent of the rockets.
The Israelis don't have the luxury of abiding by stale arms-control orthodoxies. Neither do we. Evidently, though, only Kim Jong Un and his ilk have the power to convince the Obama administration of it.

Cardinals demote top prospects Shelby Miller, Zack Cox
Mar 14, 2012, 6:45 PM EDT
Any speculation that Shelby Miller might be the choice to replace Chris Carpenter in early April ended Wednesday with the Cardinals' decision to reassign him to minor league camp.
Among the others also demoted today were fellow starter Brandon Dickson and third baseman Zack Cox.
Miller, one of baseball's top prospects, went 11-6 with a 2.77 ERA between high-A Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield last season. He disappointed a bit with his velocity while allowing four runs in 4 1/3 innings this spring, but given that he's just getting warmed up, it probably isn't something to worry about.
Dickson, 27, made his major league debut with the Cardinals last summer, allowing three runs over 8 2/3 innings in one start and three relief appearances. He's another one of the team's fallback rotation options this season, though a far less exciting one than Miller.
Cox, a 2010 first-round pick, was 2-for-9 with five strikeouts this spring. He and Miller were teammates for most of last season, with both moving up from the FSL to the Texas League partway through. They'll likely both return to Springfield to start this season.
- paperlions - Mar 14, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Any speculation that Miller might replace Carpenter early any the season was pure foolishness. The Cardinals were never going to mess with their development plan for their top prospect by pushing him up to the majors at least a year ahead of schedule to make some fill-in starts. That would have been 12 kinds of stupid.
- stex52 - Mar 15, 2012 at 8:25 AM
This sounds like exactly what the Cards said they were going to do. If Carpenter is a problem, you look for a free agent or trades. Any messing with a future #1/#2 pitcher's development for temporary gain could cost millions in lost value.
- stlouis1baseball - Mar 15, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Exactly. But equally important to remember is the fact there are (3) pitchers in the pen who have starting experience. I would like to see Shelby make the move to AAA sooner rather than later though.
- stex52 - Mar 15, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Point taken. They do have a few more options than most.
