All Rise...
Judge David Johnson enjoyed this round of stand-up from one of the funnier dudes from NBC's Last Comic Standing.
The Charge
This guy is funny.
The Case
Of the crew of stand-up comics competing against each other in NBC's Last Comic Standing (Seasons 2 and 3), Alonzo Bodden was one of the few actually funny ones. I suppose that's easy to do when you're up against performers like Ant and Tess and Dat Phan. Still, he was a standout in the crowded field of quality players in the second season, and outshined everyone else on the third season, where contestants from both seasons competed against each other for $250,000. He actually won that competition, but NBC had milked the series to death by then, and the show was pulled before the finale.
Now here he is with his own DVD, an hour-long stand-up special where he takes aim at everything from the political right to his infatuation with fake breasts. From his days on Last Comic Standing, I've always found his material the most even. He has a very reserved delivery, and mainly lets the jokes speak for themselves. I can appreciate that.
This is a nice selection of Bodden's stand-up. He covers a lot of bases with his observations, and comes across as an equal-opportunity lampooner. For example, he lays into the right wing a bit, but that's after he says he used to do Democrat jokes and they change their position so much he has to rewrite his material every night. The right, for him, is an easy target because they "sit at home to see if SpongeBob is gay." An obvious joke, but delivered well. Unfortunately, this particular sequence unraveled when Bodden went for the cheap Christians-shouldn't-be-too-quick-to-judge-because-they-all-abuse-little-boys" tactic. It's a hack job, sure, but, worse, it wasn't funny.
Still, that misfire wasn't enough to deep-six the man's routine. After all, you can't be perfect. The hit-to-miss ratio for Bodden's material was easily four to one, so I'll interpret that as a successful program. And though he kind of lost traction with the crowd toward the end, for the most part he had the audience rolling.
Probably the thing about Bodden I like the most is his self-deprecation. It's not abundant, but I've always found this trait endearing to comedians. Toward the end of his set, he talks about race relations: "I love white guys. Without you, there wouldn't be any white girls! We need you for breeding!" Then he goes on about how people might find him intimidating even though he grew up in suburban New York, and how the only trouble he can cause would be mixing it up in a Starbucks. See, I like that. The dude looks like a total bad-ass, but he's not afraid to knock himself down a few pegs.
I've got nothing else to say really. If you liked Bodden on the show, you'll like this DVD. In fact, I'd recommend it to any fans of quality stand-up. The guy's a total pro, and boasts some strong material. And ignore "Tall, Dark, and Funny," one of the lamest titles for a stand-up program ever.
We've got a smooth DVD production here, with the clear picture done up in a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and a 5.1 Dolby Digital mix pushing the sound. About three minutes of deleted footage is it for extras, which is kind of a bummer. It would have been nice to get some candid stuff with the star.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Alonzo Bodden: Tall, Dark And Funny a fair trial? yes / no

Essex downed but not out
Essex Eagles can look forward to a home Friends Provident t20 quarter-final clash despite suffering an 11-run defeat against Middlesex Panthers at Chelmsford.
Results elsewhere meant that they still secured second place, while Middlesex missed out on a place in the last eight because of an inferior run-rate to Hampshire Royals, who beat Sussex Sharks at the Rose Bowl.
Overcoming the loss of Neil Dexter in the opening over, Middlesex went on to score 173 for seven, with Gareth Berg and Ben Scott the main contributors.
Berg was caught on the long-on boundary after smashing four sixes in his 41, while Scott's unbeaten 43 from 33 deliveries contained five fours.
But the early impetus was provided by David Warner, whose 37 from 20 balls included six fours and a six.
The Australia left-hander was eventually stumped by James Foster to provide veteran Grant Flower with his solitary success.
Chasing a challenging total, Essex were soon in trouble as Alastair Cook drove Pedro Collins to short midwicket in the second over of the innings and Ravi Bopara put up a simple catch to short fine leg in Tim Murtagh's opening over.
Bopara's dismissal came in the fifth over, at the end of which only 29 had been scored, such was the disciplined bowling and alert fielding.
At the halfway stage, Essex had just 59 on the board, and it was only the late efforts of Scott Styris, playing his final game for the county, and Foster that enabled them to make a fight of it.
They added 58 in just under five overs, but were never able to get in a position to threaten Middlesex's superiority.
Styris finally fell to the last delivery of the innings for 42, an effort spanning 30 deliveries and including two fours and two sixes, while Foster finished unbeaten with 35 from 17 balls.
Collins picked up 2-20 from three overs, while Murtagh and Dexter picked up 1-29 and 1-27 respectively.

Photography's New Beginning
The Phillips Collection is soft-pedaling "Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard." No doubt the curator, Elizabeth W. Easton, didn't want to gloat about the wondrous finds she and her fellow scholars have dug out of European archives from the years (the 1890s and early 1900s) when Post-Impressionist painters were discovering what hand-held cameras could do. Better to undersell the goods, she must have decided, than the reverse.
Critics needn't be as muted in their enthusiasm, however, so let me declare in full throat that anyone at all curious about the origins of modern photography, or 20th-century art, should not miss this exhibition (which travels to the Indianapolis Museum of Art after closing here).
As well as revising our conception of the times by introducing a set of new or unfamiliar players, "Snapshot" has a sense of fun not often associated with academic research. Many of the 200 or so photographs, spread over a dozen or so galleries, have the error-strewn vitality of first drafts, whether taken as studies for the more than 70 paintings on display or as self-justifying experiments.
The seven artists represented knew what they were doing with a hand-held camera, and yet they adopted the tool precisely because the pictures it generated were in some sense out of their hands. They could be reckless and suffer no ill effects from critics or patrons. Photography of this sort was a negligible art and thus could be pure visual joy, a holiday.
Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard
The Phillips Collection
Through May 6
The two Frenchmen in the show's title are not the main attraction. Pierre Bonnard's studies of his family in the first rooms are among the least engaging artifacts. His name and Edouard Vuillard's are on the marquee to draw crowds. Besides, their forays into photography have been studied in many previous books and exhibitions.
More invigorating are the small bodies of work by three artists with little or no exposure in this country. Henri Rivière (1864-1951) of France, along with George Hendrik Breitner (1857-1923) and Henri Evenepoel (1872-1899) of the Netherlands, made photographs that are in some cases unprecedented. A reshuffling of the medium's timeline, at least as it applies to formal innovation, may be in order.
Rivière, featured in the fourth room, was an avant-garde theater designer prominent in the print-making revival of the 1880s and '90s. Only in the past 25 years, however, have his gifts as an amateur photographer come to light. The Musée d'Orsay mounted a show of prints in 1988. The selection here includes his strikingly bold series from 1888-89 of workmen perched on girders during construction of the Eiffel Tower.
Requiring the kind of acrobatic bravery that Lewis Hine exhibited some 40 years later at the Empire State Building, these photos of what was already an industrial-age icon also became the basis for Rivière's outrageous book of lithographs done to resemble Hokusai's woodcuts of Mount Fuji. Parodic mismatches of subject and style are now common with postmodernists eager to emphasize the historical frames around all images. It seems that Rivière was playing the same self-conscious artistic game a century earlier.
Breitner was an even rarer bird. Dates for many prints are inexact, but between 1889 and 1915 he took some 3,000 pictures in Amsterdam and became "one of the first photographers anywhere to capture bustling city life," according to Hans Rooseboom, curator of photography at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.
Breitner's subjects are uncommonly gritty: servant girls, a man urinating against a wall. Stranger still, Mr. Rooseboom writes in his catalog essay, were the pictorial conventions the photographer violated: "People often walked straight through the picture, were depicted out of focus, or were only partially visible." Intentions are hard to gauge, but these rule-breakings seem deliberate, not mistakes.
Historians of street photography can no longer ignore Breitner who, along with the teenage Jacques Henri Lartigue in and around Paris, and Paul Martin at Victorian seasides, decided independently during the turn of the last century that people in active pursuit of simple pleasures could be fitting subjects for serious photographers. Successful in his day as a realist painter—there are portraits here of languid women swathed in blood-red Japanese robes, as well as some fine watery Amsterdam landscapes—Breitner was an artist of many parts. His photographic studies of female nudes, some of them frankly erotic, with Sapphic couplings and guiltless stares at the camera, are tucked in a side room and were pulling a lot of traffic during my visit.
The photographs of Evenepoel, as inconspicuous as Breitner's in art chronicles, are as startling to encounter for the first time. In a series of self-portraits from the late 1890s that fragment his image in a mirror, separating head from body, he ventures into Expressionism. Pipe in teeth, he has the inquisitive gaze of the amateur scientist. Anxiety is in his eyes, too. Two portraits—a close-up of his bedridden child and another of his wife glaring at him, their sickly boy in the background—recall Edvard Munch's anguished pictures of a helpless parent impotent in the face of disease. Evenepoel's paintings are in several Dutch museum collections. These photographs, less finished but more probing, should bring him another round of attention.
Maurice Denis and Félix Vallotton, whose work hangs in two of the show's later rooms, made photos primarily as studies for paintings. But like everyone here, they handled the camera in a loose, provisional spirit. Denis must have liked the blobby blur that resulted when he stuck the lens flush in the face of his subjects, for that soft-focus quality can be found in many paintings of his wife and infant. The unconventional framing of a picture machine that scanned the world without prejudice added another spice to the Japanese flavor of Vallotton's art, and influenced other Nabis artists, too.
The show culminates with Vuillard. His camera was often busy at gatherings of family and friends, a tight circle that included his mother, wife, mistress and the irresistible Misia Natanson. The highlight here may be a boisterous quartet of informal portraits taken in 1907 at a restaurant table where clattering wine glasses and broken strings of interrupted conversation are almost audible.
Finally, praise should be heaped on the installation. Painters and photographers have been warily circling each other since Louis Daguerre announced his process for fixing a fleeting image. Each medium has at various times since the 19th century claimed supremacy and pronounced the other outmoded or dead.
That testy mood is banished here. Pulsing with garrulous, unpredictable energy, "Snapshot" is about artists at play at a time when cameras could go anywhere. It's like a party that has spilled from the parlor to the garden and the streets, even upstairs into the bedrooms and the attic. There are surprises around every corner.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2017 Nissan GT-R
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
From a company known for its innovative electric cars and sporty but affordable family sedans, the 2013 Nissan GT-R appears more like a 370Z on steroids. Far more than just some generic coupe with a big engine stuffed under the hood, the GT-R is a bona fide performance machine, engineered from the ground up to deliver an adrenaline rush on par with the fastest Porsche 911 or Audi R8. But, the GT-R's nearly $100,000 price tag puts it well out of reach of the numerous enthusiasts and video gamers who have loved this car's predecessor – the Skyline GT-R – for over two decades. Maybe dad can swing the payments, that is, if he's lucky enough to live close to one of the only 700 Nissan dealers authorized to sell and service the GT-R.
While supercars seem to roam freely overseas, in the U.S., those who seek such an animal are limited to a few names. If you've got the cash, the 2013 Nissan GT-R will be one of those rare options, alongside names such as the BMW M3, Audi R8 and Chevy Corvette Z06.
While the 2013 Nissan GT-R is exotic, you can find nearly the same levels of performance from a less costly American alternative like the Chevrolet Corvette or Camaro, or even the Ford Mustang GT500.
For 2013, Nissan has given the GT-R a 15-horsepower bump, bringing output to 545; torque is also increased by 15. The GT-R sees revisions to its transmission aimed at improving shift times and a revised suspension. A new carbon rear spoiler is added to Black Edition models, while all GT-Rs now feature a standard rearview camera.
Pressing a single button is all that is required to bring the 2013 Nissan GT-R's twin-turbocharged V6 engine to life, but it's the pushing on the car's throttle that brings...
... the driver to life. The GT-R's neck-snapping acceleration would be terrifying if not for the impressive array of mechanical and electronic suspension components designed to keep both car and driver safe at high speeds. Thankfully, the GT-R's well-weighted power steering, driver-selectable suspension and variable torque-split all-wheel drive (AWD) combine to give the driver exactly the control he requires. Needing only the slightest inputs, the GT-R's steering is precise and direct, and the big Brembo brakes perform faithfully even after repeated hard stops. Those who really enjoy pushing the limits will revel in the GT-R's "Race mode" settings that can be set to quicken shifts, stiffen the shocks and, wisely or not, deactivate the electronic stability and traction control.
A paragon of usable power, the GT-R's hand-built, 545-horsepower V6 delivers smooth, quick and predictable responses that make this ultra-quick Nissan easy to live with in town but an absolute rocket when called upon to give max performance.
The 2013 Nissan GT-R Coupe lets you select from several different and distinct ride-compliance, stability-control and transmission-shift program settings, which can transform it from a high-profile but quite livable urban cruiser into a hard-edged corner carver that can run with the best-handling cars in the world.
Nissan's 2013 GT-R coupe's highly stylized cockpit is cozy, yet sport seats with nine inches of travel and a tilt/telescopic steering column help to accommodate all but NBA-sized drivers. The user-friendly meters and gauges are placed at a uniform height, an important attribute that helps minimize the driver's head movement. The centerpiece of the GT-R's interior is a multifunction display that rests atop the center dash. The unit collects and stores data detailing your driving activities, which after a few hot laps around the track, can be reviewed to see which skills might need improvement.
A collage of sharp angles, rounded contours and crisp edges conspires to give the 2013 Nissan GT-R a slippery 0.26 coefficient of drag. A carbon-fiber underbody diffuser and subtle rear spoiler help keep the GT-R grounded at high speeds. Certainly the GT-R's enormous front-fender vents catch everyone's eye, but they are not just there to turn heads; the vents provide front downforce and optimal side airflow. Staggered-width 20-inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped in 255/40 tires up front and 285/35 tires in the rear, further aid the GT-R's stability.
The 2013 Nissan GT-R Coupe is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch automated-manual rear transaxle, ATESSA E-TS all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, Brembo brakes and adjustable suspension and stability-control settings. Inside, leather, Alcantara and brushed-aluminum trim complement a full roster of power assists, a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, 11-speaker Bose Surround Sound audio system, dual-zone climate control, speed-sensitive wipers, push-button ignition, bi-xenon HID headlights, heated front seats, unique vehicle information-system graphics, side-impact and side-curtain airbags and Bridgestone RE070A performance tires. The Black Edition adds RAYS black metallic lightweight alloy wheels, red-and-black Recaro leather seats and a black headliner.
Nissan offers only one option for the 2013 GT-R coupe: a Cold Weather Package featuring Dunlop all-season tires and a specialized water/coolant ratio mix.
The 2013 Nissan GT-R Coupe has a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that develops an electrifying 545 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and an equally riveting 463 lb-ft of peak torque from 3,200-5,800 revs. Set back behind the front axle, the all-aluminum engine sends this Nissan super coupe streaking to 60 mph in less than three seconds, and on to 100 mph in about eight seconds, as it heads to a top speed in excess of 190 mph. Matched to this might is a 6-speed, sequential dual-clutch transmission that offers three driver-selectable programs and a rev-matching throttle-blip feature, plus a conventional console shifter and finger-friendly paddles mounted on the steering column. While hard running will guarantee your mileage to be less, the GT-R's official EPA numbers are 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.
3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6
545 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm
463 lb-ft of torque @ 3,200-5,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/23 mpg

"If i want attention and showing off ,all take a Aventador to bring my wife out for diner, much sexier than a GTR in my opinion. But so far i can't afford one :( I do have a GTR for more than 2 year, and there is nothing to keep up with that machine. To be objective you got to put it this way, just look it like a strong man contest. How they do that ? It's not the one that pull the truck faster who win the contest :) They have several stunts and they cumulate point. So witch stunt should be line up for a car contest ? well, depending on witch one you want to give advantage. To be fare you pick 4 stunt and all pick 4 and will see who wins the more out of 8. I predict that all win at least 3 out of the one I choose, and all beat you at least 2 out of the one you picked, result will be 5-3 for the GTR. Example of car performance stunt : 1/4 mille , 0-60 , top speed , 60-0 , road racing , auto cross , rally on ice , etc That why my title is ( The ultimate performance machine ) One morning on my way to the track, I out run a few racing bikes from a traffic light to another, at the track in the advance group no one was even close to me, there was a Viper.... we only had time to do a few laps, was looking tight, but unfortunately for him, it start rain for a few minutes just enough to wet the track. Oups ! the viper was no longer in the game i almost over lap it. And guess what, on my way back home I stopped at the mall to pick up my wife and two kids then went to the grocery before heading back home. Witch other car can do all that ??????"

"Though the GTR is a bit overrated by the fans the only thing I can say that's tremendously great is the fact that the average joe can now enjoy performance near that of Porsche,Lambo, Viper, and Z06 etc. No matter how many times you hear that it's the fastest car on the planet, the sad reality is that it's not. Fans just say that for many reasons and though I have my own,I'll let you come up with your own theories on why they do this,lol. Anyway two things I never liked was the fact that they(Nissan Dealer) never let you test drive one before you buy, or rarely (That's to keep you from comparing it,lol) secondly nissan does NOT I repeat does NOT stand behind the transmission or more importantly the customer. Iowned a 2013 GTR, until last month, and I fought tooth and nail with Nissan, and it cost me over $20,000 USD in attorney fees to get nissan to buy back their GTR with the burned out Transmission and Launch Control. Now I have another battle brewing over being compensated for those attorney fees, so that I can pay back some of it to my dad and brother. Okay yes I attempted to race a gallardo, and a Porsche GT3 but got my rear handed to me, and ended up on the side of the track in Florida with a GTR that refused to move. Obviously many of you fellow GTR owners know that in order to run numbers closer to those cars or better,on the 1/4 mile, you need to engauge launch control. So why did Nissan put in the launch control??? especially when it burns out. I'm not here to discourage anyone on the GTR, or cause you to dislike it, I am here to bring about awareness to those who may have thoughts of forking over hard earned cash to a Nissan salesman for a product that on the long run may end up really disappointing you. I bought a Porsche (Unfortunately I had to go used) and am slowly modifying it and so far I'm really excited and happy with my investment. I think this one made me fall in love all over again. I recommend the GTR for the money, if you're not able to afford a McLaren, Porsche, Audi, Lambo, Ferrari etc. Good luck!"

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado - Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer will be sidelined at least three weeks due to a broken bone in his left foot, the team announced Wednesday.
Plummer missed last week's 17-14 victory over Pittsburgh with a shoulder injury. He injured the foot in a loss to Kansas City on October 5 and aggravated it Monday night.
"I got up off the couch and felt a little pop in my foot,"
Plummer said. "It actually just felt almost like a little bit

Lower Elwha elder Bea Charles, linguist and historian, dead at 89

She was 89.
The Lower Elwha Klallam elder known for her smile breathed life into the native language beginning in 1992, when she and three other elders began working with a linguist to record, transcribe and preserve the words of their people, which had been nearly forgotten.
Of those four, only her aunt, Adeline Smith, 91, remains.
"Losing Bea was a big loss for our tribe," said her great grandniece Wendy Sampson on Tuesday. "She had a lot of knowledge left to give, and she gave a lot through all her years."
Thanks to those four elders -- Mrs. Charles; Smith; Ed Sampson, Smith's older brother; and Tom Charles -- the words of their people live on through language programs provided by the tribe and Port Angeles High School that developed from hours of recordings archived by linguist Timothy Montler of the University of North Texas.
Ed Sampson and Tom Charles died in the 1990s. Another elder fluent in Klallam that Montler recorded in the 1970s, Richard Sampson, lives on Vancouver Island.
Wendy Sampson said all of the tribe's elders are vital to maintaining their culture, history and language.
'A vast treasure'
"And [Bea Charles] was really a big part of maintaining our history and culture," she said. "Losing her is losing a vast treasure."
Using his recordings, especially those from the 1990s, Montler has developed a Klallam alphabet based on the American Phonetic Alphabet and is nearing completion on the language's grammar structure and a dictionary with close to 10,000 entries.
It is that work to date, which Mrs. Charles was an integral part of, that led to the development of the language programs in 1998.
Mrs. Charles thrived on the work until her last day, Montler said.
"She was saying always, 'Can we work an extra hour tomorrow?'" he said after he saw her in February to work on the dictionary.
"Every day she wanted to do more and more.
"She was right to the end, dedicated and devoted to providing a future for the generations to come."
Smith said the dictionary will provide a tool for future generations to learn the Klallam language, but it won't substitute learning it from elders.
"It will never be perfect," she said.
Smith said that when she returned to the Lower Elwha Klallam reservation in the 1980s, it was Mrs. Charles that she had to speak Klallam with because few other tribal members knew the language.
Smith said there are about five or six other elders who can speak Klallam, but she is the last elder working with Montler to preserve the language.
"A lot of young people today don't even know what you are saying at all," Smith said. "So we are reviving it."
Tribal Chairwoman Frances Charles estimated that more than 200 Lower Elwha Klallam children have been taught the Klallam language at the high school and the tribe's day care, head start and after-school programs in the last decade.
But Mrs. Charles was not only a linguist, said her daughter, Lorna Mike.
Health, treaty rights
She served on several organizations, including the national Indian Health Board, and championed domestic-violence awareness, Mike said.
It was her mother who encouraged Mike to become a nurse and later to serve on the same health board.
"She was an inspiration to me," she said.
Frances Charles said Bea Charles was also a promoter of treaty rights and was always encouraging the tribe's youth to "reach for the stars."
Mrs. Charles was also a source for learning about Klallam history and language for the Jamestown S'Klallam and Port Gamble S'Klallam tribes, Frances Charles said.
"We lost a lot of history," she said. "That's the sad thing. We lost a lot of history with her."
Sampson and Montler both said Mrs. Charles was part of the last generation of Klallam tribal members who learned their language at home.
Smith said as children they were discouraged at public schools from speaking Klallam.
"It was hard to remember sometimes," Mrs. Charles told the Peninsula Daily News in 2007, as she remembered conditions at a boarding school she was forced to attend in Chemawa, Ore., as a child.
"Especially when we were all together, we sometimes slipped back into speaking Klallam."
Sampson said the language wasn't passed on by her generation because they were punished for using it when they were away from their families.
"There were a lot of people that grew up speaking the language as their first language and never passed it on to their children. So there is a generation gap," she said.
Children learning
But because of elders like Mrs. Charles, the Klallam language is making a comeback through the language programs.
Children are now growing up learning to speak Klallam, which was not the case over 15 years ago.
Smith said she is hopeful that the Klallam language and culture will continue to be revitalized.
"All of the heritage that we were taught is bouncing back to this generation," she said.
"It will never be perfect. It is a lot better than it was."
Sampson -- who was taught the language by Mrs. Charles beginning in 1996 and now teaches it in the tribe's after-school program -- agrees that there is still work to be done.
"I think we are all still learning," she said.
"I don't believe anyone is fluent other than those first speakers. The elders."
Mrs. Charles was born May 14, 1919 in Pysht. She was preceded in death by her husband, Elmer Charles, a WW II veteran who served at the Battle of Bulge.
In addition to her daughter, she is survived by her son, Chuck Williams, about 15 grandchildren, and many other relatives.
A memorial service will be held for Mrs. Charles at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Center, 2538 Lower Elwha Road.
Frances Charles said flowers and other donations for the service are welcome, and can be sent to Drenna & Ford Funeral Home, 260 Monroe Road, Port Angeles.
"[Bea Charles] will be greatly missed," she said.
"A lot of people are already realizing that she is greatly missed, and she will always be thought of."

Conservation Status
Human activities have had their effect on the heron. Historically, green herons were sometimes hunted for food. Fish hatcheries kill green herons to regulate their populations and prevent them eating their young fish. Pesticides have been found to accumulate in heron tissues, but no evidence of general reproductive failure has been observed, despite some localized effects to herons in highly polluted areas. Eggshell thinning has been recorded in comparison with pre-1947 egg samples, but it is not considered lethal. Increased recreational and industrial use of river channels leads to decreased use by green herons. Yet this has not led to decreased use of backwater habitats, for example, ponds. The main concern for the heron has been conservation and management of wetlands as a whole, versus the drainage and development that depletes habitat in which they live. No populations are considered threatened or endangered (Davis and Kushlan, 1994).

LitleBigPlanet Karting is "real," first promo image emerges
Following a report based on a tweet from a US retailer last night, the first, grainy promo image of LittleBigPlanet Karting has appeared.
VG247 has been assured by a source that the game is "real". Future Shop Gamer dropped the news from a PlayStation event yesterday.
The game reportedly has Move and steering wheel support, as you'd expect.

Inter-integrated circuit mode (I2C) software is used to communicate between sensors and on embedded control system utilising PIC182585 MPLAB hardware. These sensors were built as part of a system on-board that includes sensors, a Q2 microcontroller and interface circuitry. The hardware includes a PIC18 processor, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip and peripherals. The FPGA chip is used to interface the processor with the peripherals operating at the same clock speed. This hardware design features high-level integration, reliability, high precision and high-speed communications. The system was demonstrated using temperature and CO2 sensors. The overall system was implemented and successfully tested. The response of the multi-sensor system was agreeable with the design parameters. The system is expandable to include other sensors such as light and pressure sensors. Monitoring threshold values should add to the security features of the integrated communication system. The use of a signature detection algorithm to determine threatening situation and/or intrusion within the sittings are discussed as a potential application for home land security. The integrated system features low-power consumption (utilising the sleeping mode of the processors), high-speed communications, security and flexibility to expansion.

Mac Danzig's Ultimate Fighter Blog (Episode 8)
� Mac Danzig is one of 16 welterweight fighters competing for a UFC contract on the sixth season of Spike TV's reality series "The Ultimate Fighter."
Danzig has fought at 155 pounds for most of his career, capturing titles in King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge and the IFC. He is stepping up to 170 pounds for the opportunity to fight in the TUF 6 competition and make it to the big show, the UFC.
UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and former two-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes will be the coaches this season.
OCRegister.com readers will get to follow Danzig along for the ride as he trains, lives and fights with the other TUF 6 contestants. Danzig will have a weekly blog on ocregister.com. He will give his opinions, observations and a behind-the-scenes look at everything that's going on with the fighters in the TUF 6 house.
TUF 6 airs on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Spike TV, and Danzig's blog will post immediately following each episode.
So this episode, we finally get to see some footage of the great Tommy Speer.
Just like Billy said, Tommy bears a very close resemblance (personality-wise) to a "robot". We were all pretty burnt out in general, and trying to get emotion out of any of us, let alone someone like Tommy, was like trying to get blood from a stone, or getting Jon Koppenhaver to say something intelligent. Oh wait, we'll get to him in a minute.
Matt Hughes was just trying to get us all motivated, but Tommy Speer is as quiet and reserved as they come. Hughes wanted emotion from him, but sometimes being emotionless is good in this sport. He was also the youngest on the show. I recall many, many hours in which Tommy spent simply staring blankly at the ceiling. He had an innate ability to stay in one position quietly for hours upon end. I had no problem with this. He really was the perfect roommate.
Although he was a vicious pool player, I don't remember him doing much besides laying in bed, training hard, and playing "gin" with Bowman. Seldom was the occasion that he ever complained, talked loudly, voiced an opinion, or spoke in general. I really liked Tommy. He is a simple guy, doesn't get involved with too much deep thought, and has a toughness instilled in him that someone like Koppenhaver could never fathom, no matter how many horribly-placed tattoos of inanimate weapons he puts on his body.
Ah yes, the "War Machine." You know, they say if you don't have anything good to say about somebody, don't say anything at all. For some reason, this guy has felt the need to spend hours of his own time in online chat rooms, trying to talk bad about me. I'll let that speak for itself. I have a job to do. It's called training full-time and fighting. If I spent all my time and money getting tattooed and spray-tanned, I might look more like your typical "So-Cal" meat-head, but I would suck horribly at fighting. Case in point.
During the fight, (which took place the same day, roughly 30 minutes after J-Roc's loss) I was completely distraught. All the pressure of being the only person on the team to win a fight (and the incredibly negative feeling that brought) cumulated, and I felt sick. I was in a real bad place when John had Tommy's back, looking to sink the choke. The blood was flowing and everyone from Serra's team yelled "He tapped!" I felt like walking out of the gym to clear my mind.
The entire time up until then, I had done my best not to buy-in to the "Team Serra vs. team Hughes" concept, but when Tommy reversed John and got on top, it was war. I'm not sure if I ever cheered so hard for somebody. At the end of the fight, they were both exhausted, but Tommy was standing while "War Machine" laid there.
Finally, a victory.
Be sure to watch next week. I have a feeling it may be good. ...

War alles gut leider nur eine Decke trotz des Wissens dar wir drei Personen sind ansonsten alles gut!
Es hat alles bestens geklappt! Tolle Dachwohnung... netter Gastgeber Marquez! Sehr zum entfehlen ;)
Eine saubere und hübsch eingerichtete Wohnung, perfekt ausgestattet, freundliche und unkomplizierte Vermieter.
Centrum zu Fuß schnell erreichbar
Danke noch für die gratis Parkuhr
Vielen Dank, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!!
Top Wohnung :) hat soweit alles gepasst , Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein ( Herd Ubd Backofen zb)
Sehr nette Vermieter ;)
Madelon & Marques are great hosts! they even got a travel cot for our baby :)
The apartment has everything you could need, of course there are some little things that could be improved (but where not?).
Recommendable 100%!
PS: They can talk Spanish if you need that, probably that could help many travellers
The Loft was perfect! Large and furnished with everything needed for a short or extended stay .Water is so clean and hot water never a shortage. Location is awesome . . you are right in heart of a really old and beautiful part of Holland. The hosts are really helpful and will make sure you are comfortable or need anything... I can't say enough . . . everything was just great and I will be returning here later in the year . . Haarlem was everything I hoped for! Well done !
It was such a lovely place to stay over for Christmas. The place looks much bigger than the photo, and as described, it's located very close to the centre. I was kindly introduced what to do in Haarlem, and I will definitely remember its atmosphere and liveliness.
Cozy Loft Haarlem, NL. Was exactly, what it says on the tin ! Large airy open apartment, nicely appointed, with separate shower room and toilet, off of the kitchenette and one huge studio divided into sleeping, dining and lounge area.
My on site Landlord had an office downstairs and was very helpful along the way, his office staff also helped with local advice and fixed broken light bulbs etc.
Haarlem has all the facilities of Amsterdam , without the graffiti and grime of the big city. Beautiful historic centrum and the great Church of St.Bavo focus your stay on the central area and you are bounded on all sides by a lovely canal system.
Free to wander the almost countless alleyways and bijou shops and cafe/bars of the district, it is a shoppers paradise.
Then to return to a home cooked meal of your choice in your own time, having bought the very freshest ingredients from the local markets and specialist ethnic shops in town, the night is yours, to enjoy further at your leisure. With some of the best jazz/Blues/soul musicians in the world living here you can be assured of top entertainment in many of the bars nearby. All for the price of a couple of beers.
Transport links, to the city and Zandvoort on Sea are really easy to use
And with the OV-Chipkart you can travel all over the place on train,tram,bus and Metro in the "Dam."
Again , Wimdu gives you the freedom to choose your own pace and schedule and self cater or indulge yourself in any way you choose , in the comfort of what feels like your own home. Most of my family came to join me at, some stage during my month here. Along with my wife and friends. They too had a great time and saved on Hotel bills, as my guests.
Thanks to Madelon and Marquez for a very efficient
And personal service, during my stay.
I thoroughly recommend This location and Wimdu for their innovative style of holiday/Vacation lettings.

I want to put a background image in a div using the jquery .css function but for some reason it doesn't work. The funny thing is, setting the background to a color works, and I have done this in other sites that aren't wordpress sites before. Is this a wordpress issue? I mean the code is pretty simple:
<div id = "somediv">
<!-- and a couple lines beneath it I have -->
naturally the div has a width and height and everything in the css file. Anyway if I were to replace 'url("images/image.jpg")' with 'black' or some other color it works. Does anybody have any idea with what could be going on here?

Great plugin but have a challenge. When adding a specific product, it does not display the name of the product. When i leave it to random or pick a category it does display it. What's the difference?
Also how do i not display the widget title?
Great plugin but have a challenge. When adding a specific product, it does not display the name of the product. When i leave it to random or pick a category it does display it. What's the difference?
Also how do i not display the widget title?
Odd - could you provide some more information: the version of the plugin, as well as the version of WP e-Commerce that you're using. I'll then try and replicate this on my side.
Regarding widget title, that's something I have not thought of, and therefore not explicitly supported. There are 2 workarounds:
1) CSS: if you are comfortable editing CSS, set display:none.
2) Enter
as the widget title. When you save, it will look like the title disappears, in reality it is replaced with a single space. This should blank the title. Note that you have to enter the
exactly as shown here, and do not click save twice.
I may provide a more elegant way of doing this in a future version.
Thanks for the workarounds on the widget title! To give a little more info on the product name disappearing act, I am using WP 3.1.3 and the plugin is 1.1.3
Still no luck on my end... Here is an example of the HTML it outputs:

Featured Product

Found it! Here's a bug fix for your next release.
File class-wp-e-commerce-access-v38 Line 12
$product = array('name'=>$product->post_title, 'description'=>$result->post_content, 'id'=>$result->ID);
should be
$product = array('name'=>$result->post_title, 'description'=>$result->post_content, 'id'=>$result->ID);
does that look right? At least it worked.
I'd like to confirm this little missing bug. It had me confused for a while now. Thanks to karenalenore's fix I got it sorted out.
Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback, and for fixing the problem ;-)
I've made a release that also includes making the widget title optional (removing the need for the
workaround I mentioned above)
Please let me know either way if this fixes your issues.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Tasmanian devils' cancer from parasite, study finds
Published: Friday, January 1, 2010 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 6:32 p.m.
The facial cancers devastating populations of Tasmanian devils in Australia are a nerve tumor that escaped its original host and became a parasite of the cultural icon, passing from one devil to the next by bites when the animals fight or mate, researchers reported Thursday.
A genetic analysis of tumors from Tasmanian devils separated geographically shows that all the tumors are identical -- and distinct from the animals' own genomes, researchers reported in the journal Science. The tumors most likely arose from nervous system cells called Schwann cells, which normally play a role in protecting and cushioning nerves.
The analysis represents a major step toward the development of a vaccine to protect the remaining animals in the wild, said biologist Elizabeth P. Murchison of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., and the Australian National University in Canberra, lead author of the paper.
Tasmania is the only natural habitat of the fox-sized creature, the world's largest marsupial carnivore. The animals release a foul odor under stress and screech disturbingly when they feed, a behavior that led to their name. Their powerful jaws enable them to eat entire cows.
But beginning more than a decade ago, biologists noticed the appearance of the facial tumors. Confined primarily to the face and jaw, tumors prevent the animals from eating, but can also attack internal organs. The population of devils in the wild has already dropped by 60 percent and experts predict the tumors could force the animals into extinction in 20 to 25 years. One possibility under consideration is the construction of 3-foot-high fences across broad parts of Tasmania, that would keep infected animals isolated from healthy ones.

After the coastal bund was constructed, the mangrove tress were unable to completewith the forest species which started growing faster.
With the emergence of the mangrove fern, which eventually took a strong hold of the area, it become quite impossible for the mangroves and flourish.
Straggling figs and another coastal trees like the Cordia dichotama; along with the mangrove fern now mainly dominate the secondary forest. Some stands of nature mangrove trees are still surviving in the secondary forest here.

SuperStar Consultant
I was first introduced to Scentsy from a Co-Worker's wife that had just started selling it the day before. She had come to the office to visit her husband and asked if I would like to smell her testers. One sniff is all it took. I signed right up and have been hooked ever since. I started selling Scentsy several years ago and have loved every minute of it. I joined Scentsy because like so many other people, I loved the product and thought it would be nice to make a little extra money too. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey that Scentsy has offered me. I love meeting all the people that you meet in this business and making new friends on the way. There is just no match to anything like Scentsy.~Carlyn BraithwaiteSee More

A Danny Ings double and Kieran Trippier's late strike secured just a third win in 11 league games for the Clarets.
The Terriers, meanwhile, left east Lancashire with nothing to show despite a double from Martin Paterson.
"After the way we've been playing of late, I thought we were disappointing for large parts of the game," Robins said.
"I didn't think we deserved anything from the game because I didn't think we played particularly well and I thought it took us until 3-1 down to get any life in us.
"But having said that, we could have got something out the game in the end and I think had we done so it would've been great - but it would have been slightly unjust.
"Their first goal was very dubious in all fairness. He was offside, but I'm not going to moan too much.
"We just had a game against Burnley at home where a couple of decisions went our way, it's swings and roundabouts in football sometimes.
"There were some good positives to take from it - Paterson scored another couple of goals.
"Even though we haven't played to our potential, we were within a whisker of grabbing a draw."

More evidence of Rare's next-generation game uncovered
Superannuation's regular Kotaku column delves into Rare this week. Check out the source links for yourself, but in short, it sure looks like Rare is recruiting for a project on the next Xbox console, possibly a new IP, and maybe even an MMO or other online-focused title. Or it could be Kinect Sports 3, obviously, but only one of these theories meets the Awesome Razor requirements.

Blue Mountain Conference
The Blue Mountain Conference (BMC) is a high school athletic conference located in the U.S. state of Oregon. The conference operates under the guidelines of the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) and competes in the 2A classification, which has five regional conferences throughout the state. The BMC is the eastern-most 2A athletic conference in Oregon and consists of the following high schools:
- Elgin High School
- Enterprise High School
- Heppner Junior/Senior High School
- Irrigon Junior/Senior High School
- Pilot Rock High School
- Stanfield Secondary School
- Union High School
- Weston-McEwen High School
The BMC began its inaugural year of competition in the 2006-2007 school year, when the OSAA changed the number of classifications from four to six, setting up a completely new structure for athletics in Oregon for schools of all sizes. The BMC is currently made up of schools that were members of the (now defunct) Columbia Basin Conference and Wapiti League under the four class system. Other former members of the Columbia Basin Conference and Wapiti Leagues were placed in different conferences under the new OSAA classification realignment.

Health & Baby
More and More Babies Born Too Soon
Dramatic Increase in Preterm Births continued...
Twin birth rates rose by 52% and high-order births (triplets or more) rose by an astounding 404% between 1980 and 1997, according to figures from the National Center for Health Statistics. There were only about 1,000 high-order births in the U.S. each year prior to the introduction of assisted reproduction. Today, there are between 6,000 and 7,000.
"Assisted reproduction, as it has been practiced, carries a high risk of multiple births. With multiple births you can be absolutely certain of having more preterm deliveries," says epidemiologist David A. Savitz, PhD. "Studies have suggested that at least a third of the total increase in preterm births can be attributed to multiple gestations."
Thanks to advances in diagnostic testing, obstetricians are also better able to monitor fetal and maternal distress than they have been in the past. As a result, inducing labor between 35 and 37 weeks gestation is far more common than it once was. The practice is somewhat controversial, and some argue that is being done too often.
"The willingness of clinicians to deliver early is probably greater now than it has ever been," Savitz says. "I don't think they perceive any problem whatsoever at delivering a baby at 35 or 36 weeks. But when you look at large population studies, these babies do have a slightly increased risk of [death] and certain developmental problems."
Charles J. Lockwood, MD, who leads the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' committee on obstetrical practice, has a different view. Induction prior to 37 weeks is virtually never done without good reason, he says.
"Early inductions have certainly increased, but the reasons behind them more than justify the reasons for doing them," Lockwood tells WebMD. "Fetuses in distress are more likely to die and have long-term problems, so there are very good reasons for delivering them between 35 and 37 weeks."
Early Delivery: 'A Problem We Should Have Solved'
While the rise in preterm deliveries may be explainable, doctors have had less success preventing naturally occurring early births. It is widely believed that stress and infections play a major role -- accounting for roughly 70% of premature deliveries, Lockwood says -- but ob-gyns have not yet figured out how to treat these labor triggers. Trials using antibiotics to treat infections in pregnant women have so far been disappointing.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1994
Running Time: 72
Director: Rex Borsky
Company: Rosebud Productions
Cast: Satomi, Sierra (I), Julian St. Jox, T.T. Boy, Tom Byron, Dominique Bouche, Montana (I), Tess Newhart
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
There are several differences between this Rosebud release and most of the others which have preceded it. First, the number of monster close-ups seem to have drastically increased, unless my imagination has run away with me. Second, most of the girls seems a lot more enthusiastic than is usual.
Montana, who has two scenes, is really into it. In the initial segment, she's with T.T. Boy, and later with Tom Byron — this last a non-anal coupling, but with five other anal entries to choose from, Montana can be excused for not being reamed twice. Dominique Bouche gives her usual grinning, giggling performance with T.T.; Satomi seems to be well pleased with the size (and placement) of Julian St. Jox's tool, Even Sierra, who has been practically phoning in a number of her recent appearances, and newcomer Tess Newhart, also make good impressions in this well-done Bonkyvision all-action release.
Retailers who find Rosebud sales good should do even better with Borsky's new style, so order accordingly.

It was cool but had WAY TOO little interactivity for a "game." Add more interactivity and choices and it will be ALOT better. As for the grammer and shit... lol, I don't see a problem with it at all! It shows the personality of the characters.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Pretty good flash, you deserved the front page
The animation was really smooth, and it's kind of difficult to do that with paintshop stick figures. Good job. Spelling was off, but I'm not your English teacher. Go ahead and fuck up the English language as much as you want. It would have been better if you'd have saved this and made it all in one piece. But that's just my opinion. I do not rule you (yet) and for now you are free to tear apart your art as you wish.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Legislative leaders view higher education as the big winner so far in the debate in Kansas over the state budget.
But a top higher education official says campuses will still feel some financial pain because of how the budget plan is structured.
And Board of Regents President and CEO Reggie Robinson says he's not sure the Legislature has been generous enough to allow the board to freeze tuition for a year.
The House and Senate expect to vote this week on a proposed $13.4 billion budget for the state's 2010 fiscal year, which begins July 1. Negotiators who drafted the final version backed off significant cuts for higher education.
One reason is federal stimulus dollars. But the $40 million legislators included are dedicated to building maintenance projects.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The man who accused Sesame Street voice actor Kevin Clash of sex abuse is taking back his story. The unnamed individual, who claimed Clash had sex with him when he was still a minor, now says their relationship was mutual and consensual between two adults.
Clash responded by saying he is "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest." He had no further comment. Sesame Workshop, which produces Sesame Street, released its own statement saying, "We are happy that Kevin can move on from this unfortunate episode."
Clash, the voice of popular children's character Elmo, had taken a leave of absence earlier this week to deal with his legal trouble. He maintained that while he did once have a relationship with his accuser, it was only after the man had turned 18.
No word on when, or if, Clash will return to Sesame Street.

From time to time I have to use a backup laptop (typically when I forget my power cable like today) but it has a broken "j" key.
What I'd like to do is remap my tilde key to "j" using the scancode map key in the registry but I not certain what hex values would do this. In short, I need to make the following reg file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:[the hex value to change the accent/tilde key to "j"]
I'm aware of software that can do this for me but I'm a big believer in not downloading and running executables from the internet that fiddle with my keystrokes and/or registry if it can be avoided.

I have been going to wilmot since 4th grade, I am 21 now.. Im a guy who just loves to snowboard no matter where it is as long as i get my fix in a few times a week.. However Wilmot's employees get worse and worse every year. It is to the point now where they are so lazy that they dont even grab the lift as it goes by anymore. Being that their emplyees werent very good in the first place this isnt too much of a surprise for me. However with Wilmot being a midwest ski hill that is built atop a smelly land fill the fact that their prices for lift tickets raised this year is pretty rediculous. Wilmot is also the only place in wisconsin that I know of that doesnt have a special one day during the week (ex. Tyrol Basin has $12 tuesdays, and is a much nicer place ti ride with longer runs). Aside from Wilmots prices going up their board park seems to get worse every year as well. I can only hope that the extra lift ticket money will go into highering employees who have the slightest clue on how to design a terrain park.
But I think this is enough said, I think at this point the only people who would enjoy wilmot are people who have never been anywhere else before...

Never love anybody who treats you like you're ordinary." ~ Oscar Wilde HELLO! *** WARNING *** It's a long read, but I feel it's important to tell you a little about who I am and how I think. Most of us are here for the same reasons, I'm guessing. I'm hoping to make this a positive experience for us both soooooo..... enjoy the ride..... ;-) I'm the tom-boy who now loves dresses and 4" heels. The answer is yes, I can run in them. :-) I love to watch sports on TV but would rather watch them live. There's so much out there that I have yet to try, adventures I haven't had, simply because time or opportunity hasn't presented itself to do so. I'd love to meet someone with an excitement for a variety of hobbies and interests who is willing to introduce them to me as well. My interests are so diverse that you'd be hard pressed to find something I couldn't enjoy doing. I'm not at all shy and I'm quite the people person. I really enjoy getting to know new people, can get along with just about anybody, and I have an eclectic group of friends. I'm an easy going person but I expect people to always try to do and be their best in every situation. I'm direct and honest ALWAYS, whether it be the "day to day" or the serious issues. It's simply how I'm built. I'm not rude or disrespectful by any means, but if you are looking for someone to blow smoke, I'm not she. "Honesty is an expensive gift. You can't expect it from cheap people." You must say what you mean and mean what you say. I'd much rather you state what's on your mind, ask questions, and communicate. I'm a big girl- I can handle just about anything and still remain classy. :-) I try to keep my world drama free. Who needs that, right?? Mutual respect is a big deal to me, as well as accountability, honesty and trust. All of these traits, including loyalty, should go without saying, but I need to stress the importance of them anyway as they are deal breakers for me. Bottom line, I'm a great woman looking for a great man. :-) I love to laugh and be silly... A LOT, but I have a serious and passionate side that runs deep. I'm often sarcastic but with only the intent to make you laugh or smile, never as a put down. I'm ready to get to know someone who is free and fun, but who also possesses maturity. It's a balance that is achievable and necessary in my eyes. I'm usually a very affectionate person. If I'm with someone I care about, I like to be close. It's that simple. I'd welcome the same. :-) I'm generally a very happy person. I'm told that I'm always smiling. I don't even realize it. So, word to the wise, if I don't see you smiling in any of your pics, I'm going to assume you don't. And if you don't have any pics to share??? NEXT. LOL :-p As far as the online dating process goes, I'm not out to be a "serial dater" so if that's what you seek, we are definitely not a match. I'd prefer someone who is emotionally healthy and actually truly ready to share their life, time, heart and mind with someone--- possibly ME. Haha. It takes compromise and work to fit someone new into your world but I'm up for the task and the fun that goes along with it. :-) I have a great son who is older and more mature now. Being his mom is priority one, but I do know the importance of having a life separate from parenthood. There was a short time when casual dating was my choice after being in a few long-term relationships, but I now miss having that special someone. I miss the feeling of being in love. For those who have been there, you know how great it is. So.... I'm looking to find my man. (smile) We'll see... :-) Don't be afraid to let me know you're interested. I'll let you know if I feel the same. In doing so, a bit more than, "Hi. How are you?" is needed for a response. Just beware that I make a MEAN chocolate chip, white chocolate and toasted walnut cookie that you'll be missing out on. :-p
Don't display my sign
I have Dogs
We have the cutest, furriest little rescue pup. We've had her for a year and a half now and have fallen madly in love!
I like to go out with friends on occasion but I also can be quite the homebody at times. I'm very comfortable cooking at home with my honey and cuddling up on the couch with a movie (Sci-Fi, Action, Comedy, Drama- I like them all.)
Anything that involves laughter & those who like to have fun. :-) I have as much fun in a room full of folks I've just met as I do with my lifelong friends & family. Getting to know new people is enjoyable & I can get along with almost everyone.
I really try to make the most out of every situation and I'm not afraid to try new things. I can appreciate most genres of music, I like concerts, live music, theater, cooking, I LOVE TO EAT, comedy shows.

Gunfire outside Waterbury bar brings charges
WATERBURY Police say a Waterbury Center man fired a gun into the air Sunday after a confrontation at a bar in downtown Waterbury.
John A. Baran, 42, was at the Prohibition Pig early Sunday when he was told to leave because he was making threatening comments to another customer. Police said Baran left and came back five minutes later and tried to get the other customer to go outside.
One of the workers at the Prohibition Pig went outside to talk to Baran, who then fired a round into the air with a pistol, police said. No one was injured.
Baran was cited on charges of disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment. He is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Nov. 21 to answer the charges.
Police said reports of someone being shot in the head and chest in Waterbury on Saturday night were inaccurate.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bennington woman was hospitalized following an early morning fire.
