In Living Color?
I've noticed that there aren't many posts about In Living Color. There is lots of material in there and Jim's contribution to the show is one of the funniest things he's ever did. Ever since I've purchased the series, I've been wanting to discuss it but I've never had the chance. I mean what are your favorite sketches and such... How about it?
Not only was I too young at the time but I didn't even understand English, there no way I could have seen it!
youtube is a nice substitute, plenty of videos available there!
his contribution to ILC is immeasurable, since in my opinion the Wayans Brothers just repeated themselves over and over again. Fire Marshall Bill and Vera DeMilo are timeless characters....definitely worth buying the DVDs to see the sketches. it's never too late to go back and catch them...!
If you look, you'll notice that Vera De Milo and Fire Marshall Bill are the characters that lasted for longuest period of time. Funny how the censors waited for the 10th sketch to stop Fire Marshall Bill, way to go!
Yeah, I check them out at the library all of the time! Then one day I did a few impresions of Fire Marshall Bill and a few people knew what I was doing and so came the nickname Fire Marshall Bailey! Every once in a while we create some skits off of that character and everyone wants me to preform them for the talent show. So I'm going to! Thanks to Jim for bringing me so much success in school, but not school work, that's Ben Franklyn's job!
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
Trying to keep the thread alive -
Jim played a great variety of characters and many times it was because he was actually the only white man in the cast. Jerry (Jehri) Lewis is a good example, I mean it was perfectly logical for Jim to play him but again, who else could have? I think this way of adapting himself to different parts, merely by default and doing an awesome job with it really shows the talent he has. What do you think?
My favorite bit from these sketches is when he does that annoyed face and hand gesture to the camera, I don't really know how to explain it, you know what I'm talking about! Jim based Jack this on his own grandfather, that's a bit sad.
Totally agree with you gothichyppie.
Does anyone else think that Dickie Peterson and the cable guy are pretty similar?
A young Cable Guy, definitely!
I also believe Marshall Fire Bill helped Jim get the part for The Mask, they both got that very cartoonish quality.
Ace probably helped too.

NEW DELHI (AP) – India expressed disappointment Friday with the 35-year sentence given to an American who admitted his role in the 2008 Mumbai attack, saying he deserved more prison time for the terrorism that killed 166 people in the country's financial capital.
David Headley was sentenced Thursday in a U.S. federal court in Chicago. External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said he would have possibly received a "more serious and severe" sentence had he been tried in India.
"The 35-year sentence is a beginning. We will continue our efforts to ensure that he is extradited and brought to India for trial," Khurshid told reporters.
Headley, 52, was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani father and an American mother and changed his birth name from Daood Gilani. He admitted that he helped plan the attack and videotaped targets that were later attacked.
In the three-day rampage, 10 gunmen from a Pakistani-based militant group fanned out across Mumbai, attacking a crowded train station, a landmark hotel and a Jewish center, among other targets.
Headley was arrested in the U.S. in 2009 and entered into a plea bargain with U.S. investigators under which he provided information about terror networks.
The U.S. State Department on Friday defended the handling of the case, saying that from Washington's perspective, it was a "very positive example" of U.S.-Indian counterterrorism collaboration.
The department ruled out Headley's extradition.
"He's been tried, convicted, and will serve in the United States," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 22 (Reuters) – Police evicted two dozen Amazon natives on Friday from an old Indian museum that will be demolished to clear areas adjacent to Brazil's legendary Maracana soccer stadium, the main venue for next year's World Cup.
The Indians from different Amazon tribes had been living on the grounds of the Rio de Janeiro museum since 2006 and were resisting its demolition, which caused further delays to the overhaul of the stadium complex.
Riot police handcuffed the Indians, some of whom wore feathered headdresses and body paint, and used tear gas to disperse street demonstrations by sympathizers trying to block the eviction.
Brazil is on deadline to deliver stadiums that will host the 2014 World Cup, a global sporting event that is a chance to showcase the South American nation's emergence as a world economic powerhouse. It is also a challenge for its deficient infrastructure that could become an international embarrassment.
Police spokesman Colonel Frederico Caldas said his force tried to negotiate the court-ordered eviction and decided to invade the grounds after the squatters set fire to the museum building, abandoned since 1970.
The museum area was originally planned to become a parking lot for the stadium, but after the protests Rio authorities decided to build a sports museum on the site. The Indians were taken to alternative housing provided by the city.
The final of the 2014 World Cup will be played at Maracana, but work on the refurbished 80,000-seat stadium is behind schedule and the city now expects to deliver the venue to FIFA, the soccer's world governing body, on May 24.
That's just nine days before the stadium is to be tested with a friendly game between Brazil and England on June 2. Only last week workers began laying the pitch, but parts of the roof are still missing and thousands of seats have yet to be fitted.
On June 30, the stadium must host the final of the Confederations Cup, a dress rehearsal for the World Cup. (Reporting by Rodrigo Viga Gaier and Pedro Fonseca; Writing by Anthony Boadle; Editing by Brian Winter and Vicki Allen)

RALEIGH – Week four of the NAACP protests continue Monday evening in Raleigh outside the General Assembly. So far 96 people have been arrested during what state chapter President William Barber has declared "a wave of civil disobedience" against what they call a regressive state agenda.
Tye Hunter and fellow church members from the United Church of Chapel Hill are attending Monday's protests. Hunter and his wife Wanda were arrested during the rallies on May 6.
"I think some things are being done that are radical changes for North Carolina and bad changes for North Carolina. I'm doing what little I can do to draw the public's attention to those facts," Tye Hunter said.
"All of the different bills, there just seem to be so many of them—dozens and dozens— that seem to me to be unjust and immoral and even racist," Wanda Hunter said.
Chapel Hill Carrboro NAACP Chapter President Robert Campbell says he will also attend Monday's protests.
"There are issues before the Senate that will cause harm to the general population. We're doing these protests so that we can bring a spotlight to the unethical things that are happening in our capital city"
49 people were arrested during last Monday's "Moral Monday" and faced charges of violating building rules, failure to disperse and trespassing.
General Assembly Police Chief Jeff Weaver says those who have been arrested during previous rallies are warned before entering the building that they would be arrested again for trespassing.
Protesters are set to gather outside the State Legislative Building at 5:30.

I don't know that there is a direct correlation between ike's lack of minutes and this, except that Ike can score and sometimes BD is the main offense for Ws. Ike playing could take some pressure off him, scoring-wise. BD is our one true superstar, and if he goes down, the season is pretty much done.
I don't think there's any correlation between Ike's and Baron's situation. What happens is that Nellie has realized we do not have anybody able to play PG besides Baron (no, McLeod is not an option), so he's playing him all he can.
I wouldn't be surprised if the team trades for a PG or signs someone from the NBDL.
Good analysis.
I recall how at the beginning of the season that Nelson was pushing Monta to play more at the point guard position. With the subsequent injury to Richardson, has Nelson scrapped that idea and decided to play Monta only at the 2-guard position?

With more than 15,000 food trucks rolling across America, it's only a matter of time before one makes its way to Lewiston - a 2012 top food finalist in the Rand McNally/USA Today "Best of the Road" competition.
One candidate is The Black Market Food Truck, a gourmet deli sandwich unit co-owned and operated by Lewiston native Christian Willmott.
On Monday, he addressed village trustees. Willmott, who called himself an "ambassador for food trucks," told board members these traveling kitchens can bolster the local economy - and help restaurants succeed.
"There's evidence to support the fact that food trucks do bring more people to certain areas," Willmott said. "They do help promote business; they help promote foot traffic."
Willmott said Lewiston is an ideal location for a food truck because of the accolades village eateries have received.
"I think with Lewiston being more and more of a destination spot - every year it's becoming bigger and bigger and more well known - I think it's inevitable that we're going to want to move down here," he said.
Willmott informed trustees of the difficulties he and other owners have encountered in Buffalo. He said food trucks in Buffalo pay twice as much in fees as they would in other cities, and cannot park within 100 feet of brick-and-mortar restaurants.
He said food truckers don't want to be hassled or become a hassle. As such, "Our plan, going forward, is to approach towns that we'd like to do business in beforehand, so that we don't just show up one day. And then it becomes an issue for you, as well. You guys don't want to be receiving those phone calls, I'm sure," Willmott said.
The Village of Lewiston doesn't have any regulations in its municipal code that would prohibit Willmott or other food truck owners from operating. That said, trustees do have some concerns.
Mayor Terry Collesano said, "The last thing I'd like to see in the village is a honky-tonk atmosphere. We like to see classy things."
Willmott told him The Black Market Food Truck is a self-contained, refurbished 1968 fire truck.
Trustee Vic Eydt said he worries food trucks would interfere with existing restaurants looking to utilize outdoor spaces and establish individual identities.
Willmott said food trucks provide diners "something different" while not detracting from traditional eateries.
"If I'm going to go to a restaurant, I'm not going to walk by a food truck on the way to that restaurant and say, 'You know what, I'd rather just grab a sandwich.' I'm going to the restaurant for a reason," he said. "There are enough people down here. You just have to draw them out."
Deputy Mayor Bruce Sutherland said the village is losing late-night customers. When the bars close, he said, hungry patrons are driving to such places as Mighty Taco in Niagara Falls. Sutherland said that's not the safest choice, nor does it help the local economy.
Willmott said his operation would encourage locals to stay in town and spend money on food.
"We have been dealing with my truck, specifically, three separate restaurants that we go to," he explained. "It's a little different because we go there when the restaurant actually closes. I think there's a little bit more of a late-night crowd up in Buffalo than down here. But, we show up when they close. We keep their bar patrons there. We obviously get a fair amount of business from them, as well. And it really does work well.
"We've actually been parking in front of another sandwich shop. We serve mostly sandwiches - we're more of a deli truck. We serve out in front of their shop when they're open for lunch. They've actually seen an increase in business with us being there, as opposed to a decrease."
As to the question of where a food truck could be situated, Center Street is likely out. Sutherland said Water Street "would be hard," too.
Trustees batted around the idea of a food truck operating alongside Academy Park - in front of the Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce - after business hours.
Willmott said Lewiston's physical size and population would likely prevent a fleet of food trucks from descending on the village, so parking one or two shouldn't be a problem.
With regard to when food trucks would operate, Willmott suggested they would be open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - Artpark concert nights - and perhaps during festivals. He said that's the most sought-after time, because there's a captive audience.
Sutherland warned him those are busy times in the village.
"The problem on Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights is traffic," he said. "You couldn't impede the flow of traffic."
Willmott said The Black Market Food Truck typically serves lunch from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and late-night fare from 11:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. In Lewiston, he figured his truck could occupy one of those slots, but not all three.
He didn't indicate a preferred time.
Now, while Willmott works with a trio of restaurants in Buffalo, he said he wouldn't necessarily need a partner in Lewiston. He is hopeful to build connections, though.
"We could serve lunch. We don't necessarily need to work in conjunction with a restaurant. We could do a dinner service, as well," Willmott said. "(But) the biggest thing is that we want to ... build up a relationship with the people that are doing business in this town - and any small town we go to. And other than that, it does help us to have an established restaurant that has a customer base that's going to be there anyways."
The Village Board took no action on the food truck idea.
Willmott said food trucks are subject to both rigorous health and vehicle inspections. A recent CNN.com article suggested food trucks are generally safe, and offered tips on what customers should look for before spending money on a meal.
•Also at Monday's Village Board meeting, trustees voted to renew a special use permit allowing the Niagara Sunday Fliers use of the Lewiston plateau this summer for electric-only model airplanes and helicopters. The group is not permitted to operate on the plateau during Artpark Tuesday and Wednesday concert nights.

Letters and Panegyricus
Harvard University Press, 1969 - Biography & Autobiography - 586 pages
The Younger Pliny was born in AD 61 or 62, the son of Lucius Caecilius of Comum (Como) and the Elder Pliny's sister. He was educated at home and then in Rome under Quintilian. He was at Misenum at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 (described in two famous letters) when the Elder Pliny died. Pliny started his career at the Roman bar at the age of eighteen. He moved through the regular offices in a senator's career, held two treasury appointments and a priesthood, and was consul in September and October 100. On this occasion he delivered the speech of thanks to the Emperor Trajan which he afterwards expanded and published as the Panegyricus. After his consulship he returned to advocacy in the court and Senate, and was also president of the Tiber Conservancy Board. His hopes of retirement were cut short when he was chosen by Trajan to go out to the province of Bithynia and Pontus on a special commission as the Emperor's direct representative. He is known to have been there two years, and is presumed to have died there before the end of 113. Book X of the Letters contains his correspondence with Trajan during this period, and includes letters about the early Christians. Pliny's Letters are important as a social document of his times. They tell us about the man himself and his wide interests, and about his many friends, including Tacitus, Martial and Suetonius. Pliny has a gift for description and a versatile prose style, and more than any of his contemporaries he gives an unprejudiced picture of Rome as he knew it. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Pliny the Younger is in two volumes; the second contains Books VIII-X of his Letters and Panegyricus.

Hello and welcome to the Aug 1st 2006 SATRIANI.COM newsletter!
Here's what you can see in this issue:
Having just returned from a great European tour, and a crazy Guitar
Town Festival at Copper Mountain in Colorado, I thought I'd say Hi

rehearsals, backstage and more, at the last US show at The Warfield
in SF, the making of "Crowd Chant" in Vancouver, the first four
podcasts, a beautiful slide show from our European tour, and an
amazing documentary filmed in India last year called "Flying in a
Blue Dream". This double DVD set is packed with great stuff!
Later this month, on the 12th, I will be giving a clinic at the
National Guitar Workshop in New Milford, CT , and playing at the Rock
'n' Roll Fantasy Camp in NYC on the 14th.
A benefit show for our dear friend Cliff Cultreri will be held on
September 30th at the House of Blues in L.A.,CA. I will be joined by
Steve Vai and many others on stage to help raise funds for Cliff's

G3 shows for South America and Australia are set: John Petrucci, Eric
Johnson and I will play S.A and Mexico in mid October. Australia will

satriani.com for exact dates.
That's all for now!
It all started in San Francisco the last night of the U.S. Super Colossal
tour... webmaster Jon commented to Joe's son ZZ "hey, since you're going
to be around during the European tour, why not take your skateboard
video skills and do some video podcasts for the site?" Seemed like a
long shot, but ZZ stepped up to the challenge and he and Joe and the
band have been working hard to make some good use of the downtime
between shows to slap these classic podcasts together for you. Check
out the crazy antics of life on the road in this limited edition 6-part
podcast series!

Joe Satriani here, checking in with some last minute pre-tour notes...
Big thanks to all the fans who made last week's in-store run so much
fun and successful. My hands are finally recovering from extreme
handshake time! But, it was worth it. Special thanks to Rockline and
all the retailers that allowed us to take over their shops for a few
hours, especially West LA Music, who hosted our CD release performance
right across the street from their store.
We are all looking forward to getting out on tour and making some
history with a new set of music... which reminds me, I haven't written
the set list yet!!! Your ideas are always welcome... Thanks for making
satriani.com so much fun... See you soon.
* Webmaster note: go here to select your set list suggestions:
(Los Angeles, CA) - JOE SATRIANI fans will have a chance to win a
rare customized and autographed Ibanez guitar, designed to commemorate
the release of SATRIANI's 12th solo album, Super Colossal, while
also supporting music education. Beginning with the first tour
stop in Denver, CO and running throughout the last show in San
Francisco (April 1 - May 13), where the drawing will take place,
fans will be able to purchase raffle tickets for $10, giving them
a once in a lifetime chance to win. The prized guitar is one of
only 10 Super Colossal guitars made featuring the album's cover
artwork. Proceeds from the auction will benefit two school music
programs - Little Kids Rock and Music In Schools Today.
SATRIANI was recently announced as an Honorary Board Member for the
Little Kids Rock organization. Little Kids Rock restores music to
its rightful place in the academic lives of kids in our public
schools by providing a rich music education program including
instrument instruction, free instruments and trained mentors. Founded
by an elementary school teacher in 1996, Little Kids Rock has served
more than 7,000 students in CA, NY, NJ and TN. Bonnie Raitt, Paul
Simon, B.B. King and Les Paul sit on our Honorary Board of Directors
and we are supported by friends Tom Waits, Liberty DeVitto, Bob
Weir and others.
Music in Schools Today (MuST) supports, develops and promotes music
education for youth in schools and in the community. Since 1983,
MuST has served public school grades K-12 in the San Francisco Bay
Area. The program is the Bay Area's answer to the crisis in music
education. Despite extensive research indicating that music instruction
supplies intellectual, emotional and physical components critical
to children's development, music and arts programs are often the
first victims of budget cuts. MuST combats this trend with a
comprehensive set of programs that are resistant to budget slashing.
MuST serves over 20,000 children and youth annually in schools and
community centers, conducts research and development and advocates
to restore music as an essential principle of pre-K through 12
This year marks SATRIANI's 20-year anniversary as a solo artist,
his first album, Not Of This Earth, was released in 1986. Over the
course of his illustrious career, SATRIANI has achieved huge success,
selling more than 10 million albums & DVDs worldwide with 12 solo
albums (2 platinum, 4 gold) and 3 platinum DVD's, as well as garnering
13 Grammy nominations.

We can help with all your liquid handling needs.
Rain for Rent designed heavy duty road crossings, sometimes referred to as road ramps, to make pumping across roads easy. Offered in both 12 and 20 foot lengths, the galvanized road crossings were constructed with federal bridge compliance of 20,000 lbs. per single axle rating. They are designed to efficiently route water under vehicle without sacrificing significant head loss. Safety is always key, and each road crossing is equipped with DOT safety reflectors and safety flags.
Rain for Rent is known for irrigation. We provide a wide variety of irrigation systems for temporary and permanent applications. Rain for Rent manufactures our own aluminum pipe for temporary applications, but also designs and sells systems that are permanently installed for agriculture, municipal, construction and any other large-scale irrigation need.
Removing water from your lagoons on a dairy or chicken farm is a common practice that prevents surface runoff when your lagoon is too full. Rain for Rent can set up a system design to meet your overflow needs quickly to prevent flooding or potential EPA fines.
Construction in areas with high water tables can provide unique challenges. Rain for Rent provides expert dewatering, wellpoint and deep well dewatering services backed by a full-service engineering department. Whether you are excavating to build strong foundations deep underground or need basic dewatering, Rain for Rent's team works hard to ensure your projects stays on track and perform exactly as they were designed.
Jobsite runoff can have pH and turbidity levels that could be harmful if discharged into receiving waters or storm drains. It can also lead to costly fines. To help monitor water onsite, saving time and money, Rain for Rent developed a system that monitors and pH and turbidity. The system will automatically divert flows if pH and turbidity are not within specifications. The PWQMS is portable and monitors pH and turbidity levels in a closed system before discharging, allowing you to meet point source discharge standards. Whether you are dewatering for construction, or bypassing flows, this portable water treatment and monitoring system will keep your job on task.
Geothermal Field Loops are often used to heat and cool homes. From time to time, the liquid used in those systems needs to be purged, cleaned and filtered. Rain for Rent has a complete line or portable centrifugal and high-head rental pumps that can be specified to your purging project. Whether our smaller duty DV80c three-inch pump for smaller Geothermal Field Loop system purging, or larger pumps, our sales engineers will help you pick the perfect pump to safely purge your system.
Upgrades and construction often require transformers to be moved short or long distances on a jobsite. Don't risk the chance of spilling harmful or toxic oils and fluids during transportation. By utilizing Rain for Rent's Transport Spillguard you can set up a temporary containment berm on any truck trailer for transport. This Spillguard is not limited to transformers. It can be used under any equipment during transport to protect the environment.

I've been sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line (ncl.com) since 1998. Fifteen years is a long time, and in the cruise business, it's a lifetime. As NCL, Norwegian went through a tough spell in the last decade that was marred by great ideas executed horribly. But the transformation the line has undergone in the last few years has been nothing short of remarkable, as I discovered last week while sailing from Seattle to Alaska aboard the 2006-built Norwegian Pearl.
Gone is the old NCL, replaced by the hip, new, Norwegian Cruise Line that has finally hit its stride under the leadership of CEO Kevin Sheehan and the entire shoreside and shipboard teams.
The so-so food of the past is history, replaced with cuisine that ranges from typical North American fare to interactive Japanese-style Teppanyaki dining or Brazilian Churrascaria. Staterooms are spacious and well-appointed and feature the most comfortable beds I've slept on outside of a luxury line. Service is consistent, friendly, and above all else, fun.
Boredom isn't a word that guests on board the Norwegian Pearl would know. After all, the ship features a rock-climbing wall mounted to the funnel; four lanes of Bowling in the Bliss Ultra Lounge; two pools and four hot tubs; a sprawling spa operated by Mandara; and 19 different dining options that range from room service to fine dining, not to mention 13 bars and lounges.
Entertainment has always been above-par on Norwegian, and this continues to be the case on Norwegian Pearl, with comedy acts from The Second City (introduced aboard Norwegian Epic in 2010) and game shows, live Broadway-style performances and interesting lectures and Q&A sessions.
There's so much to do on board that Alaska could easily become an afterthought were it not for the carefully-planned itinerary that included calls in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, with a day cruising the pristine waters of Glacier Bay National Park.
Not every itinerary includes this must-see feature, but the crew of the Norwegian Pearl made our day here spectacular, serving hot chocolate (spiked or otherwise), beef bouillon on deck, and even the option to have traditional spiced Gluhwein delivered right to your stateroom balcony while waiting for the magnificent calving of Margerie Glacier.
Norwegian has an innovative ship-within-a-ship concept called The Haven that features some of the most elaborate suites afloat, with butler service, private key card access and all the amenities of a luxury line, from Elemis toiletries to grand pianos to private pool and hot tub areas.

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) – Chip Ganassi Racing revealed on Friday
its four-car driver lineup for the 2014 IndyCar Series season, with Ryan
Briscoe joining the team and Tony Kanaan replacing Dario Franchitti in the No.
10 car.
Briscoe will drive the No. 8 NTT Data-sponsored entry for Ganassi. The 32-
year-old Australian drove for the team during the 2005 IndyCar season after
serving as a test driver for Panasonic Toyota Racing in Formula One the
previous year. He competed in 14 races in '05 but had his season shortened
following a fiery crash at Chicagoland Speedway.
In May, Briscoe drove the No. 8 for Ganassi in the Indianapolis 500, finishing
12th. It was his first start in the series since he left Team Penske at the
end of the 2012 season. He spent five seasons with Penske, scoring seven wins.
Briscoe competed in six other races for Panther Racing this year.
"This is just great news, and I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of the
No. 8 car again," Briscoe said. "We built some great chemistry during the
month of May this year with the whole crew."
Last week, Briscoe's wife, Nicole, gave birth to the couple's first child,
Finley Evers.
"For me personally it's been an amazing last few days," he added. "This
announcement coupled with the birth of our first child just a few days back, I
couldn't be happier right now."
Kanaan, who won the Indy 500 for the first time this past season, was
announced as Ganassi's new driver for next season on Oct. 4, two days before
Franchitti's near-fatal crash during a race in Houston. Franchitti, a four-
time IndyCar champion and three-time Indy 500 winner, announced his retirement
last month. His doctors advised him to end his racing career due to the head
and spinal injuries he sustained in the accident. Kanaan had been named the
driver of the No. 8 before Franchitti said he was retiring.
"I'm extremely excited, but this is a very bittersweet day for me as many of
you know," Kanaan said. "I'm driving for the Target Team and couldn't be more
thrilled about the possibilities for next season. On the other hand, I'm
taking over the seat my good friend, Dario, had to leave."
Briscoe and Kanaan will team with Scott Dixon, who won his third IndyCar
championship this year, and Charlie Kimball, who won a race in the series for
the first time in August at Mid-Ohio.
"This is the best of both worlds," team owner Chip Ganassi said. "We not only
get the driver that we wanted to add to our team in Ryan Briscoe, but in
addition, we are able to put them in the cars that I felt were the most
appropriate. The news couldn't really be better for all of our teams."
Shortly after the Ganassi announcement, Franchitti posted on his Twitter
account, "Very happy for @TonyKanaan and @Ryan_Briscoe, both great additions
to the team. I'm really glad the 10 car is in good hands."

Pencils, lesson plan books, red pens, and ... guns! Yep, when teachers, administrators, and other employees at Clarksville High School in Arkansas head back to class next month, a full 20 of those school staffers and teachers will be armed with guns. Guns that the school district paid for.
What are these people thinking?!
Well, apparently they're thinking this is a good way to spend money -- to the tune of a $1,100 stipend per person to buy the handguns and holsters, plus $50,000 for ammunition and "training." They're also thinking this is a good way to keep their students safe. I know plenty of people will applaud this move, but I could not disagree more.
I have so many questions about this, not the least of which is: Where are these guns going to be secured? What location could they be in where it would be TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE for students to access them, but where they'd still be handy enough for those teachers to reach in the event of an emergency? Or are they actually going to stand at the front of a class and teach English and math with a holster containing a loaded gun?
And who is going to decide what kind of emergency warrants, say, a history teacher drawing a weapon? Is it only against an "outside threat"? What if a fight breaks out in class and the teacher feels threatened? The chances of an attack like the tragic Sandy Hook massacre are very, very slim compared to all of the issues that arise on a daily basis. Kids become unhinged; they can get aggressive or seem violent ... that's just par for the course. TWENTY concealed weapons in one high school sounds like a recipe for disaster. Guns shouldn't be in the mix. At all.
Yes, yes, I understand that it's not the inanimate object of a gun that can kill; it's the gun in the hands of the wrong person that kills. Duh. But who's deciding who gets to bring these concealed weapons to school? And how are these educators going to be trained? Isn't this the kind of thing that should be left to police officers and actual security guards? Can whatever training that's being provided guarantee that that there is NO way students -- or anyone else for that matter -- can access these weapons? That these teachers will make the right decisions 100 percent of the time? Will this training guarantee that, heaven forbid, no student will be accidentally shot?
I don't believe that all guns should be outlawed, but I do believe in sensible regulation and gun control. And I sure as hell don't think a school is any place for 20 concealed weapons.
Would you feel comfortable if the teachers in your school carried concealed weapons?

Biological Therapy
Biological therapy uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Bladder cancer patients who undergo transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for superficial bladder cancer may have a biologic treatment called Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to help prevent the cancer from recurring.
BCG Treatment
A live, weakened bacterial organism, BCG is mixed into a solution and placed into the bladder via a catheter and the patient holds the solution in their bladder for two hours. The bacteria stimulate the immune system to kill any remaining cancer cells in the bladder. BCG treatment is usually done once a week for six weeks.
BCG for Bladder Cancer Tablet App
Patients with bladder cancer who are considering or undergoing BCG treatment can download a self-education tool that will help them to better understand their diagnosis and treatment options. The BCG Treatment app is available for free through iTunes and Google Play.
Patients who undergo chemotherapy before surgery may increase their cure rate by as much as 10 to 30%. Learn about the benefits of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy to help treat your bladder cancer.
Depending on the stage of your bladder cancer, your physician may prescribe a type of chemotherapy as part of your treatment plan. Chemotherapy options for bladder cancer patients typically include:
- Intravesicular Chemotherapy: This type of regional chemotherapy, in which the anticancer drugs are delivered directly to the bladder, after the tumor is removed has several advantages: stronger doses of some medications may be given, and side effects associated with systemic chemotherapy are avoided or minimized. This procedure is usually repeated once a week for several weeks.
- Intravenous Chemotherapy: Systemic chemotherapy may be part of your treatment plan if cancer has invaded the bladder deeply or spread to other organs. Chemotherapy drugs are administered through a vein, and flow through the bloodstream to nearly every part of the body. The drugs are usually given in cycles so that a recovery period follows every treatment period.

Evening classes canceled Feb. 7, 2018. Learn more.
Home | Academics | Our Schools | Conservatory of Performing Arts | Conservatory News & Features
Over a four-month span, Kiesha Lalama, assistant professor of dance, has choreographed works for a movie, two well-known dance companies, the opening of Point Park's Urban Park, and the TEDx Pittsburgh conference.
"It's really nice to get out there," Lalama said. "I'm able to bring back what's happening currently in the industry and share that information with my students."
Lalama, who graduated from Point Park's dance program in 1995, teaches classes in the jazz concentration and choreographs student productions/concerts/exhibitions. She regularly teaches freshman dance courses, helping incoming students thrive and excel in Point Park's rigorous curriculum, as well as advanced upperclassman dance and choreography classes.
The movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower, starring Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, was filmed in Pittsburgh, and Lalama was asked to choreograph. Lalama's participation on the project also created the opportunity for several Point Park students to participate as extras in the film.
"Both Emma and Ezra were gracious and professional. I had a wonderful experience and enjoyed talking about it with my students," Lalama said. "I said to them, 'Work ethic matters, even when you are a successful movie star.' It was important for the students to learn that working, successful actors are still professional and kind."
Kiesha Lalama, center, with her student dancers at the opening of Point Park's Urban Park at Academic Village. Lalama choreographed a piece to open the September ceremony.
Lalama's piece for Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago included three Point Park alumni who are dancers at the company. Alegria opened Oct. 20 at the Harris Theater in Chicago to rave reviews.
"We've been building a great relationship with Giordano over the past several years," Lalama said. "Giordano is a good fit for our dancers. From the training they receive here to applying those skills in a professional dance realm, Giordano is a natural transition for some of them."
Lalama's Chaos, which opened the TEDx conference at Nemacolin Woods Resort on Nov. 19, featured three Point Park dancers and two accompanists. Watch the video of the performance.
"This was probably the most challenging work I've ever done because it took on social and political issues. Through this experience and creative outlet, I gained the courage to use my true voice as an artist." Lalama said. "The theme of the conference was power. The purpose and message of the piece is to encourage change and take action."
The August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble features numerous Point Park alumni, including Nalia Ansari, James Washington, Annalee Traylor and Michael Bagne, who were the leads in Lalama's The Bench, which was staged in 2009 and 2010 by the Conservatory Dance Company.
"When I walked into August Wilson, I felt like I was home. It was familiar, so we were able to take that piece to the next level," she said. "I challenged them and they challenged me, and when you get into a situation like that, magic happens. It was a fantastic experience."
Torque will open March 9-10 at the Dynamic Women of Dance concert.
"There are great, wonderful things ahead," Lalama said, smiling. "I love my life."
Upcoming projects for her include choreographing Ruthless for Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret and a new dance work for the faculty dance concert. Lalama is also in the process of recreating The Bench for a professional production.
"I just hope that I leave my students with a sense of hope. I want them to know that they can accomplish anything and everything they set out to do. Anything is possible, you just have to believe."

Nice job on all of those. Again, I'm always happy to see when n2DLib comes in handy to someone.What's the issue with color masking again ?
surface = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, width, height, 16, 0x7C00, 0x03E0, 0x001F, 0);
inline void setColorKey(unsigned short *src, unsigned short key){ src[2] = key;}
You indeed have to touch the image buffer, which isn't a big deal, really. It's basically the same as setting the member of the struct, just with no name on it This would work for you.Code: [Select]inline void setColorKey(unsigned short *src, unsigned short key){ src[2] = key;}
That looks great and fun! Good job gameblabla on the port.
Thanks as always critor
even though interest in TI-Nspire software has significantly dropped since a few years ago.

Matt Carthy is the Sinn Féin MEP for the newly created Midlands, North, West constituency.
Matt is married to Lynn and they have four young children. He lives in Carrickmacross, County Monaghan having spent much of his childhood in Co. Roscommon.
Matt wants to be a fresh voice in Europe for the Midlands, North, West constituency. He believes the EU parliament should not be seen as a retirement home for former TDs but rather as a platform to stand up for the Irish people.
"I am there to defend Irish interests. I am opposed to austerity and to handing more power to the EU" he says.
As someone who was born in England to Irish emigrant parents Matt knows the devastation being caused by emigration. He understands the needs of rural Ireland and will demand that resources are delivered fairly to regions most in need of support and that agriculture is recognised as central to the development of local economies.
Securing increased investment from the European Investment Bank in job creation will be a priority for Matt.

Cato Chairman On Nullification: An Amalgamation of Revisionist History Covered in Judicial Fairy Dust
" Cato Institute chairman Robert Levy's recent article, "The Limits of Nullification" is nothing less than an amalgamation of revisionist history covered in judicial fairy dust. His assertions are premised upon a flawed understanding of certain fundamental principles and constitutional history. Levy conveniently ignores them and, consequently, drawn inaccurate conclusions.
Let's dissect this piece by piece.
Levy implies the Constitution was ratified by the people acting in their aggregate political capacity – a single unitary body politic. In fact, many people believe this falsehood because they rely on the words "We the People of the United States" in the Preamble. The initial drafts of the Constitution named each and every state. They said, We the people of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, etc. But, Article VII of the Constitution states, "The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same".
Each state is independent, free, and sovereign. The ratification happened within each State by the people acting in their highest political capacity. Each state voted up or down on the ratification. There was no popular vote across all thirteen states. There was no majority of people (50%, 75%, or 95%) of the people that could ratify the Constitution. The people of each free, independent, and sovereign State ratified the Constitution independent from every other state.
Moreover, New Hampshire was the ninth state to ratify the Constitution. The nine states ratifying the Constitution could not bind any of the remaining states. In fact, the Virginia and New York ratification conventions were aware that New Hampshire had ratified thus putting the Constitution into effect for the states so ratifying. Both states continued their conventions and proceeded with their votes for or against the Constitution."

Both casinos' slots revenues down by double digits
Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun reported Tuesday that they experienced double-digit declines in slot-machine revenues in June, the last month of the state's 2013-14 fiscal year.
As always, the casinos sent 25 percent of their slots "win" — the amount of wagers they kept after paying out prizes — to the state, bringing their combined 2013-14 contribution, unofficially, to $279.9 million, which would be 5.6 percent less than their 2012-13 contribution of $296.4 million.
In the seven years since the 2006-07 fiscal year, when the casinos' combined contribution peaked at $430.5 million, the annual payments have fallen, unofficially, by $150.6 million, or 35 percent.
State officials said the final numbers for 2013-14 would not be available until the first week of August.
Foxwoods' slots win for June totaled $37.7 million, down 13.1 percent over the $43.4 million it won in June 2013. Mohegan Sun's June win of $45.3 million was down 10.3 percent over the $50.5 million it kept the same month the previous year.
The June numbers reflect "a continued softness in the economy, not only in this market but in most, if not all, mature gaming markets throughout the country," said Bobby Soper, Mohegan Sun's president and chief executive officer.
Foxwoods sent $10.1 million of its June win to the state, while Mohegan Sun contributed $11.7 million.
The state's budgetmakers had assumed the casino's 2013-14 contribution would be $285.3 million. In a letter last month to the comptroller, the state Office of Policy and Management reduced the estimate to $281.3 million, according to Gian-Carl Casa, the OPM's undersecretary for legislative affairs.
The adopted state budget for 2014-15 includes $278.5 million in casino slots revenue.
June's dismal numbers were worse than those the casinos had reported for May, when Foxwoods was down 9.3 percent and Mohegan Sun was down 6 percent. Both casinos had reported double-digit declines in April and March.
Still, Soper offered a positive outlook.
"June's always a fickle month," he said. "The weather was extraordinarily nice, and people have graduations and things, which can hurt us. We've got some great entertainment this month and we're optimistic that July and August — traditionally our peak months — will produce better results."
Amid the continuing erosion of the Connecticut slots market, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun have pursued casino projects in other Northeast states.
Mohegan Sun has proposed a $1.3 billion resort casino in Revere, Mass., one of two projects vying for the Greater Boston casino license the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is expected to award by early September. Mohegan Sun is partnered with a New York developer on a $550 million project in Thompson, N.Y.
Foxwoods has been interested in partnering on a project in southeastern Massachusetts. It withdrew from a project it had proposed in Liberty, N.Y.
Aside from economic conditions, the casinos have been affected in recent years by growing competition from slots parlors in New York City and Yonkers, N.Y., and the expansion of gambling in Rhode Island. Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., added table games to its slots last year, and voters in Newport, R.I., will decide in a November referendum whether the Newport Grand slots parlor should be allowed to similarly expand.

The BMP has produced a new version of the "Middlebury Money," checks that can be purchased in various denominations for transactions at local retail, dining and lodging establishments. Middlebury Money was first "minted" around 15 years ago. At its peak, approximately $27,000 worth of Middlebury money was sold in one year, sparking business for local merchants and service providers.

Republican Governor Does Education His Own Way
The Article: Iowa GOP Governor Charts Different Course by Catherine Lucey in the Associated Press.
The Text: As his Republican peers in other states search for ways to cut public school funding, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad is charting a different course. He's doubling down on education.
Branstad, who was elected in 2010 as part of a resurgent GOP, has made proposals many Republicans would sneer at: raising minimum teacher salaries and offering incentive pay for teachers who take on more responsibilities — all by tapping $187 million in new school funding.
It's an approach that reflects the lives of Iowa families, who send nearly all of their children to public schools and have felt deeply connected to local districts for generations.
"Ninety-eight percent of the kids in Iowa go to public schools. I went to public school and got a great education," said Branstad, who likes to note that his daughter is a teacher. "I'm very willing to invest more resources, but I want to invest in an intelligent way."
Branstad is pursuing his agenda at a time when other Republican governors are focused on slashing education funding, limiting teachers' power and offering more options for students to attend private institutions.
Last summer, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie won passage of a plan to make it harder for teachers to get tenure and easier to strip it away. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence supports expanding an already extensive voucher program. And Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wants to expand vouchers and freeze school spending.
While Branstad has proposed some of those ideas in the past, his education policies have generally been more moderate. His positions are borne out of both principle and pragmatism. With a split legislature — Republicans control the Iowa House and Democrats the Senate — he must propose a plan that has widespread appeal.
Iowa also is different from other states. The state identifies strongly with its small-town roots. Its 351 school districts enroll about 476,000 students, compared with roughly 32,000 who attend private schools. Nationally a higher percentage of students attend private school, with an estimated 49.6 million kids in public school and 5.3 million in private, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Iowa does not have a voucher program for private school tuition, and the state has just three charter schools.
Branstad is seeking changes because Iowa schools are slipping. Twenty years ago, the state had some of the top standardized-test scores in the nation, but its ranking has fallen steadily to the middle of the pack. The governor and top aides have spent years researching new programs with input from education advocates.
"I think we have to do something different," said Davius Eidhal, superintendent of the Ottumwa Community School District. "I understand and appreciate the thinking outside the box. In Iowa, we pride ourselves on education."
Under Branstad's plan, minimum teacher pay would rise from $28,000 to $35,000, and senior teachers who take on leadership roles such as mentoring could get annual bonuses ranging from $2,000 to $10,000.
In the rural Maquoketa district, Branstad's plan could lift starting salaries well above the current level of about $30,700.
"Hopefully, it will attract more people to the profession," Superintendent Kim Huckstadt said. "Anything we can do to improve the compensation is a positive."
However, some district administrators have raised concerns that the plan won't provide enough funding to make all the changes, especially in districts with smaller budgets and fewer students. And the governor has faced criticism from education advocates for announcing that he would not determine a general funding increase for schools until after his plan was approved.
Without extra money, school administrators have said, districts that have endured several lean years might have to make cuts because of rising costs.
"I think the focus on specific programs can be a great benefit for us, and we welcome that focus," said Dave Benson, superintendent of the Cedar Rapids district, the state's second-largest. "At the same time, we need general revenue to pay for our programs."
Last year, the governor pitched a plan that included tougher hiring standards for teachers, new testing for students and a requirement that third-graders demonstrate reading proficiency before being promoted. It also included provisions to make it easier to create charter schools and to make seniority a "minor factor" in layoffs.
In the end, the Legislature approved a bill that included peer reviews for teachers and a provision to let parents choose whether a third-grader who fails to meet reading standards is held back or attends an intensive summer reading program to catch up.
Branstad praised the work of Republican governors in other states, noting efforts in New Jersey and other states to increase "accountability." He said the divided General Assembly doesn't "limit his scope" and that he won't sign on to Democratic proposals that don't tie dollars to results.
A.J. Spiker, chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, declined to speak about the specifics of Branstad's proposal but praised a Republican amendment to the House version of the bill, which would remove state oversight of homeschooling and would allow private schools to be accredited by agencies other than the state.
"Home schooling and private schooling have been proven time and time again to be a very superior form of schooling," Spiker said.
The governor's proposal is currently under review in the Legislature, where the House has approved a version that lowers the minimum salary to $32,000 and makes the changes optional. The Democratic-majority Senate approved a beefed-up version of the plan, with additional funding for schools.
"He's not been a barn burner," said Russ Whitehurst, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution. "In the other states, the rhetoric is about student test scores and getting rid of bad teachers."
In Iowa, Branstad said, he's willing to spend money on public education. "But I want things that are going to improve student achievement."

Award Tour: The Ballot Is In and the Best Player, Freshman and Coach are…Posted by DCassilo on March 12th, 2013
David Cassilo is an RTC columnist who also writes about college basketball for SLAM magazine. You can follow him at @dcassilo.
Believe it or not, when this all started guys like Mike Moser, Jamaal Franklin and Isaiah Canaan were in the top 10. But soon the top players in the country started to come into focus. Only four players (Trey Burke, Cody Zeller, Doug McDermott and Deshaun Thomas) stayed in the rankings all season, while only one freshman (Marcus Smart) could say the same. And finally, below, we have those few players that separated themselves from the pack. The best part of it all is that as fun as this regular season was, it will likely only provide a small percentage of what we remember about college basketball this year. But before we get to the best part, here's who is taking home the hardware.
Otto Porter Jr. – Georgetown
Regular season stats: 16.4 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.0 SPG
In times of adversity, greatness rises, and that's the primary reason Porter is the choice for the top spot. On January 8, the Hoyas' second leading scorer, Greg Whittington, played his final game. It was a crossroads for Georgetown, who looked like they might be headed down the Big East standings very quickly. Instead, though, the team went 14-2 and grabbed the Big East title. Over those 16 games, Porter was unstoppable. He averaged 19.9 PPG and 7.7 RPG, while shooting at least 50 percent from the field in 10 of 16 games despite facing plenty of double-teams. And the Hoyas got the most out of their best player too. He played at least 39 minutes in each of his last five games.
What Porter was able to accomplish with such a thin supporting cast was remarkable. There was no Cody Zeller down low like there was for Victor Oladipo, and the Hoyas finished first in the Big East, not fifth like Trey Burke did in the Big Ten. He was the best player on Georgetown, and everybody knew it, yet they couldn't stop him. Now he's the best player in the country.

- Otto Porter Jr. – Georgetown
- Trey Burke – Michigan
- Victor Oladipo – Indiana
- Mason Plumlee – Duke
