The Crossroads Tonight marks the launch of a new venue, The Crossroads, at 417 E. 18th St. in Kansas City, Mo. Pipeline Productions, the company that puts together the Wakarusa Music Festival, scheduled Robert
Randolph and Ziggy Marley to perform tonight. While it may be hard to live in the footsteps of reggae icon Bob Marley, Ziggy has carved out his own sound. Reggae is still the dominant force in his music, but now rock and rap influences are also present. On the other side of the music spectrum is Robert Randolph and The Family Band.
Randolph's music sounds like a combination of classic rock, funk and soul. The show starts at 7 p.m. and is $26 to $76 for all ages.

Pornography cuts into Disney's 'Handy Manny'
MIDDLETOWN, N.J. — Children here got more than they bargained for when they tuned in to "Handy Manny" on the Disney Channel this week — hard-core pornography.
Cable giant Comcast is investigating how the porn was broadcast during the popular cartoon, which
is about a bilingual handman,
Manny Garcia, and his talking tools
Customer Paul Dunleavy was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching the broadcast.
"It was two people doing their thing; it was full-on and it was disgusting," the father of three told The New York Daily News.
Comcast spokesman Fred DeAndrea confirmed that the programming error occurred around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. He declined to provide the duration of the porn broadcast but described it as an "isolated issue in a local New Jersey facility."
A Disney Channel spokeswoman said the company has asked Comcast for assurances that appropriate measures were taken to prevent such situations in the future.

Police investigate man accused of boiling skulls
CHICAGO — Four human skulls were discovered in a man's apartment, one boiling in a pot of water, but authorities said charges aren't likely.
"It doesn't seem to be anything nefarious at this time," police Lt. Perry Nigro said. The 26-year-old owner of the skulls makes anatomical models for a living and appeared to be using them for medical numbers. Nigro said.
"As weird as it is, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong," Nigro said.
Police searched the apartment after someone who wanted to buy a mannequin in the home visited late Tuesday and saw the skulls on a porch and inside, with one boiling on the stove.
The man left and called police, Nigro said.
The skulls were turned over to the Cook County medical examiner's office, Nigro said.
The skulls' owner told authorities that he imported them legally from China.
The KU Bookstore's annual sidewalk sale was scheduled for this week, but postponed due to weather. It will take place on the Kansas Union Plaza, May 9 and 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting.

SAFETY Morning fire alarm gives Budig students break
Several hundred students waited outside Budig Hall on Thursday after blaring sirens and flashing lights caused an evacuation of the building right as classes were scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.
Jim Saladin, Lawrence Fire Department, said that after inspecting a control panel he was able to determine that either dust or moisture in a duct set off the fire alarm. The fire department reset the system and students began meandering back into the building about 9:50 a.m.
University Police Officer Jack Campbell arrived at Budig Hall three or four minutes after the alarm was triggered. He said he followed the fire department around and did not see a fire.
"No biggie," Campbell said.
Jason Cook, Dodge City junior, said he had been waiting since 9:15 a.m. for his Accounting 200 class to begin in Budig 120. He said he didn't noticed any strange smells or sights when sirens sounded.
While he studied an open notebook near the south entrance to Budig Hall, he said he used the 20-minute evacuation to do some extra cramming for an accounting quiz.
"I'm taking advantage of the fire drill, I guess." Cook said.
"Everybody was happy," Renfro said.
Sean Renfro, Wichita junior, was in the same accounting class preparing to take a quiz about bonds when the alarm sounded.
A statistics class in Budig 110 was cancelled about 9:45 a.m. because of the evacuation.
