4 hurt in crash, attack at California Wal-Mart
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) ? Four people were hurt Sunday when a driver crashed his car into a Wal-Mart and then assaulted customers inside, officials said.
The man hit two cars in the parking lot at about 11:15 a.m. with his red Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan then crashed through the storefront near the pharmacy and collided with a beer display before stopping, police and witnesses said.
The unidentified driver then got out of his car and used a blunt object to attack people, San Jose police Officer Albert Morales said. The driver was arrested when officers arrived.
Investigators have not determined how fast the driver ? described as a man in his 30s ? was going at the time of the crash but the car went about 20 feet into the Wal-Mart Supercenter that had about 70 people inside in San Jose, Morales said.
One person suffered what Morales described as serious injuries. He did not know the extent of the injuries to the three other people but said they were not life-threatening. The injured included a store employee.
Customer Sharon Kaye told the San Jose Mercury News the driver sideswiped her car as he made several runs around the parking lot before driving between poles at the entrance and crashing into the store.
"At first, I thought I may have done something to anger him while driving," she said. "But then I realized he was out to get into the store."
After the crash, the entrance to the Wal-Mart was roped off with yellow police tape, and workers put up large boards covering the automatic doors where the car had entered.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman told the Mercury News that the store remained shut down for several hours, and an employee was among those hurt.
"We're obviously very concerned about the associate who was injured," spokeswoman Kory Lundberg said.
Shopper and witness Tianna Doan told the newspaper the employee was a cashier who was hit with the object and had a head injury.
Calls to the store by The Associated Press went unanswered Sunday.

Prostate cancer risk rises in men with inherited genetic condition
Apr. 1, 2013 ? Men with an inherited genetic condition called Lynch syndrome face a higher lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer and appear to develop the disease at an earlier age, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition linked to a higher risk of several types of cancer. People with Lynch syndrome have up to 80 percent lifetime risk of colorectal cancer and are also more likely to develop endometrial, gastric, ovarian, urinary tract, pancreatic and brain tumors. Overall, about 1 in 440 people are carriers for the genetic mutation, making it one of the most common inherited cancer conditions.
The findings in prostate cancer have implications for screening younger men who may be at higher risk of the disease. Recent guideline recommendations advise against prostate cancer screening in men younger than 75 who do not have any symptoms.
"For men with an inherited risk factor for prostate cancer, they should still be thinking about prostate cancer screening. Our study suggests men with Lynch syndrome might benefit from regular prostate cancer screening," says lead study author Victoria M. Raymond, a certified genetic counselor with the University of Michigan's Cancer Genetics Clinic.
The researchers looked at 198 families who have a strong family history of cancer and were enrolled in registries at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center or at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. These family registries included 4,127 men who were included in this analysis.
Among men with a mutation linked to Lynch syndrome, the researchers estimated their lifetime risk of prostate cancer to be 30 percent, compared to 18 percent among the general population. Men aged 20-59 who carried this mutation also faced a higher risk of prostate cancer than the general public.
Results of the study appear online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Earlier studies have suggested that Lynch syndrome might play a role in inherited prostate cancer, but studies to date have been controversial.
"It's been tricky to figure out if prostate cancer is really associated with Lynch syndrome. It's a very common cancer. When you see it occurring in families, it's difficult to figure out if that's because it's associated with Lynch syndrome or just because it's really common," Raymond says.
The current study uses a more rigorous statistical analysis and pulls from a larger number of people. This same method has previously linked Lynch syndrome to endometrial cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Prostate cancer statistics: 238,590 Americans will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and 29,720 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society

Research experiences for community college students build the STEM pipeline
Alexandria, VA It's 3 a.m., and students from two Oregon community colleges are rocking back and forth through roiling seas. Their objective is to recover an ocean-bottom seismometer that has been lying 160 meters underwater off the west coast of Vancouver Island, where it has been steadily recording seismic signals and long-period pressure trends for the past year. These students are experiencing what earth scientists do for a living, as a part of the Cascadia Initiative's CC@Sea program.
With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), CC@Sea grew out of a previous community college-university collaboration: the NSF-funded Undergraduate Catalytic Outreach and Research Experience (UCORE) program. CC@Sea picks up where UCORE left off in 2012, further building upon it.
So far, these programs have helped 134 community college students gain valuable experience in physical science research. The program has also helped change perceptions of science and engineering among students, while promoting lively discussions and strengthening the STEM pipeline at community colleges. These programs highlight an important trend in attracting new students to STEM careers in a job market in which the geosciences are increasingly struggling to find qualified candidates to fill positions.

Collapsing ?Hamlet?: hiSTORYstage Spins William Shakespeare's ...

Imagine Cirque de Soleil and Shakespeare and flash fiction and you have hiSTORYstage Theatre Company?s version of The Marowitz Hamlet, which ran March 27-30 at Common Ground Theatre in Durham, NC. Strange combination, right? No stranger than Romeo and Juliet being re-composed as a gang war set in the boroughs of New York City, circa 1957. Everyone has a favorite way of re-envisioning Shakespeare?s classics and Charles Marowitz?s interpretation of the classic story of the young Hamlet dealing with his father?s murder and his mother?s infidelity, shortens the original five-act play, sometimes running it as a stream-of-consciousness story that somehow gives more depth to the underlying current of insanity the Shakespearean classic embodies.
The hiSTORYstage production of the play, set in a theater-in-the-round staging accented by a Cirque de Soleil hanging drapery, offers both a distinctive and unusual spin on the story. When the play opens, young Hamlet (Clint Lienau) lies on a pallet placed center stage, the hanging drapery wrapped around him like a bedspread. When he tosses it off at the first sight of the ghost of his father, the late King Hamlet of Denmark (Wayne Burtoft), the viewer think that the drapery might get in the way of the performance. Instead, it takes on its own life, becoming a pseudo-character, sometimes acting like a rope, sometimes acting like a curtain, and at still other times acting like a noose. After the initial introduction to the prop, the audience is instantly drawn into the tragedy studied by students for hundreds of years.
Director Rebecca C. Blum turns a unique performance of Marowitz?s version into a well-acted and cast performance with both seasoned actors and stage ?virgins? collaborating to create a play where the timing is as important as the soliloquies. Hamlet?s Ghost, played by Wayne Burtoft, is the conscience of the play; and it requires both a stately persona and a resonant voice in order to be believable. Burtoft provides both, as well as a substantial appearance that underscores the commands he utters to his son, especially when he demands that Hamlet seek revenge for his ?most foul and unnatural murder.?
Other characters are also well-cast, including the tenderly insane Ophelia, played with sensitivity (and a voice) by Stephanie Rinehart. Her portrayal is not only accurate but believable. Though the playbill states this is her first journey into Shakespeare?s world, it appears she has laid a strong foundation for her acting career prior to this performance.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, played with a bumbling, joined-at-the-hip, and frantic nature by Diana McQueen and Ruth Berry, are Marowitz?s statement on the ?absurdity of life?; and it is that philosophy they embody throughout their disconnected statements on Hamlet?s life and actions. Both women are also new to the stage, yet their timing offers verve to the sycophantic duo responsible for transferring messages between kingdoms.
As the cheating Gertrude, Sarah Schmitt exercises her years of acting experience and gives credence to the confusion Gertrude feels. It is around this indiscretion that the play revolves, and Schmitt is a believable regal woman caught up in the all-too-human act of falling for another man while married to a powerful politician. When she looks up at R. Alex Davis?s Claudius, her passion for him is palpable. That complex passion is underscored by the casting of Davis, a character who appears to be the ?boy toy? to King Hamlet?s older statesman. As the preening and conceited Claudius, Davis is sufficiently dislikable, as he should be.
Laertes (John Minervino) struggles with his allegiance to Hamlet and his tendency to overprotect his sister, Ophelia; and though his time on stage is fairly short, Minervino meets the challenge of meandering into conversations and offering a moral high point to the fairly dysfunctional families.
The young Hamlet, bewildered and angered by his mother?s murderous intentions, is one of the most complex of all Shakespearean characters to play. The many soliloquies and subterfuge prescribed to Hamlet requires an intensity and a depth few actors can reach at a young age. This Hamlet, played by Clint Lienau, appears more nervous and confused than intent on gaining revenge for his father?s murder. At times, his slight frame appears to collapse in on itself rather than to puff up and strengthen. Though Lienau?s acting is adequate, this is the one character that may have benefited from a better casting decision.
The one character who is absolutely perfect in his role is the Clown, Seth Blum, a veteran of many Shakespearean roles and husband of the director. As Hamlet?s ?mirror,? the Clown gives voice to the young prince?s imagination and questionings. Blum blithely offers commentary on the actions of the other characters, as well as snippy advice to young Hamlet. He brightens the stage with his antics and evidences a strong capability of acting the wise fool that is a Shakespearean standard.
Though the strobe light sequence is not only unnecessary but, at times, disturbing, the set lighting worked to dramatize the play?s abridged scenes. By punctuating the scenes that often drifted in and out of one setting and one character to another, the lighting assisted the audience in understanding how swiftly the Marowitz version of the play moved throughout an otherwise interminable five acts. One supposes that one artifice (the Cirque de Soleil drapery) might have been enough for this nonlinear summary; however, the strobe did serve to remind the audience of the postmodern elements of Marowitz?s version of the tragic Hamlet.

Jerry "The King" Lawler opens a wrestling museum in Memphis, Tenn.
Jerry Lawler's career is already celebrated for the WWE Hall of Famer's myriad accolades and accomplishments, but now "The King" can add another jewel to his crown: He's opened his own museum.
Originally intended as a small display of the WWE Hall of Famer's personal memorabilia in Memphis, Tenn.'s Wynn Automobile, Lawler's endeavor expanded into a full-fledged archive located inside the shop. The museum (which opened this past Saturday with an autograph signing from "The King" himself) houses both personal treasures like Lawler's AWA World Heavyweight Championship and other exhibits devoted to the broader history of professional wrestling. Admission is free to any sports-entertainment fans who make the pilgrimage and the museum offers some memorabilia of its own, such as signed photos of Lawler, for anyone who wishes to purchase a memento.
For any members of the WWE Universe looking to take the trip down to the museum, it is located at 1831 Getwell Road in Memphis, Tenn., and operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
