It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a man-eating plant from outer space! This phrase is one often heard in the halls of Boonville High School, as the students and staff prepare for their annual spring musical.

As a student submitting projects for his architecture classes at Portland State University, Michael Rudis keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground. But when it comes to designing his future, his career dreams lie in another dimension: outer space - as in, the final frontier. Rudis' professional goal isn't just the television script stuff of which Star Trek episodes are made. Boosted by a recent project he completed with a small group of colleagues at PSU, he's already on his way to a career in what he sometimes calls off planet architecture.

Considering the solar system's present and future environmental state, the idea of space pollution becomes absurd.\n "The net result of such a program could be the creation of a Mars with acceptable atmospheric pressure and temperature, and liquid water on its surface within fifty years of the start of the program." [...] scientific or environmental organizations could offer prize money for discovery of evidence of extraterrestrial life; a property owner who discovers such evidence could sell scientists, journalists, and others rights to access, study, and publicize it. For the good of the human race, and because it is just, private parties should be free to use space for whatever human purposes they see fit within the limits of private property rights.

Now that outer space exploration is closing down, how about investing in inner space? Think about the effect it could have had if all the money spent exploring outer space had been invested in studying the human body and our planet. If we improve the health of our environment and all the people living in it, we would not only save a fortune, but unite the residents of our home planet and change the world for the better in every way. We need to stop looking for solutions outside ourselves and start looking within, because that is where our focus belongs. Out there may be interesting, but the solution resides here.

What remains constant is the bare-bones presentation of the material, which combines "song, drama and storytelling to help the audience feel and think its way through a moment of violence with far-reaching consequences." This with two actors and only a single chair for a "set." That portability serves Mud Time's mission of bringing theater anywhere - from stages to living rooms, schools to prisons. Friedman and Partridge have played in all those places and more, even the Statehouse on Farmers' Night. "We're looking to break the boundaries of where theater co'uld be performed," Partridge says. "It's intended to show it's possible to do theater with almost nothing," Friedman adds. Next week, they'll bring Mildred Taken Crazy to the Outer Space Café in Burlington's Flynndog building.

Connecticut Analytical Corp., a local business tucked behind the Bethany 63 plaza, may very well solve a major problem for future missions to the moon or Mars. CAC President Joseph J. Bango and consultant John Fenn, the 2002 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, have assembled what has been dubbed a "dream team" to develop a system that would capture and filter lunar dust.

This reality series has a simple premise: A mean lady named [Tabatha] storms into failing hair salons to whip them into shape. Tabatha is like a villain from a Disney cartoon, with her black leather outfits, angular frown, severe blond hairdo, squinty eyes and 45-degree eyebrows. In the season premiere, she expresses disgust - the only emotion of which she's capable - at a rundown Chicago salon called Orbit. She shakes her head, sighs and gets to work insulting the salon's employees. "Maybe I can shame you into acting like professional hairstylists," she snarls, "because right now you're acting like PIGS! The paranormal investi- gators will pursue these ghosts using newly invented "spirit detection systems." For the live seven-hour broadcast, they'll post webcams around the building an...
