HAMBURG TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Workers in Hamburg Township spent the past week removing weeds from the Huron River to help control the chances of flooding downstream.
Tons of obstructive eelgrass were removed, Township Supervisor Pat Hohl told the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus (http://bit.ly/18y2Hf3 ). The weed buildup resulted in water levels that were a foot higher than they should be on parts of the river and also affects some of its tributaries, he said.
"The weeds were just a solid mass across the entire river in certain areas where the river slowed down, partially around the Hamburg Road bridge," Hold said after a midweek visit to the site.
The eelgrass was removed by a Professional Lake Management Inc. crew and then taken to vacant township property where it will rot and may later be used as fertilizer, Hohl said.
No chemicals were used.
"We're doing all we can to mitigate any possibility of flooding that's associated with weeds inhibiting the flow of the river," Hohl said. "We're just trying to help. We're not perfect."
Township officials hope to avoid a situation similar to 2004 floods along Ore Lake.
"Even with the rain that we had on Monday, the river water level is dropping slightly, and we're pretty happy about that," said Bill Hahn, a township trustee and member of its Flood Prevention Committee. "We're opening up the river significantly for better water flow, so everything is going well."
The town obtained a Department of Natural Resources permit for the harvesting to ensure fish and other aquatic animals are safe.

Health board will not refuse surgery
The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board say that plans to force overweight patients to go on weight loss courses before they can undergo planned surgery would not mean they were refusing anyone surgery.
In a statement they said that the proposal would "encourage a change in unhealthy behaviours and require smokers and obese patients to take part in lifestyle courses ahead of any planned surgery will be discussed next week."
They said they hope it would help to encourage a lifestyle change by "providing information on the risks of smoking and obesity."
They say they hope next week's discussion will continue engagement with the public, staff and stakeholders on action to support health improvement.

Helicopter crashes in NYC's East River
October 4, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
One of the four injured in the 3:20 p.m. EDT accident was in critical condition, The New York Times reported.
City police spokesman Paul W. Browne said the helicopter had departed from a 34th Street heliport with five people aboard and "appeared to have some sort of trouble and tried to come back."
"The pilot and three passengers are out of the water," Browne said. "And one is unaccounted for."
Luis Reyes said he saw two men clinging to the upside down helicopter in the water.
"They were screaming, 'Three more inside!'" Reyes said.
WCBS-TV video showed a man swimming to the riverbank and rescue divers pulled another man to shore, the Times said.
Fire officials said two injured women were taken to a hospital, one in cardiac arrest and another in respiratory arrest. A man was taken to another hospital and the pilot was reported conscious while receiving initial treatment at the crash scene.

Twenty percent of those who received PhDs in math from Israeli higher learning
institutions from 1985 to 2005 had been living abroad for at least three years
as of 2011, according to a survey released this week by the Central Bureau of
The number of graduates from Israeli academia had steadily
increased from 21,000 in 1985 to 106,000 in 2005. The study focused on the
360,000 Israelis who obtained academic degrees during that 20-year
As of 2011, 4.9 percent of them had been living outside of Israel
for three or more years. The percentage of those who left the country is even
higher among those with PhDs – 10.5%. The percentage of those with medical
degrees who left the country as of last year stands at 7.2%.
In 2011,
6.7% of those with medical degrees or PhDs in math and engineering returned to
Among those with bachelor's degrees, 4.8% of them sought
employment abroad as did 4.2% of those with master's degrees.
The data
also showed that the percentage of PhDs in scientific fields and in engineering
who lived abroad for over three years is close to four times higher than that of
PhDs in social sciences, and most of those graduated from universities not
Out of the seven Israeli universities, the Weizmann Institute
of Science has the most graduates – 17.8% – going abroad, and Bar-Ilan
University the least – 2.9%.
The survey also noted that more men than
women seek employment abroad and many immigrants – and Americans in particular –
do as well.
The percentage of those leaving Israel after receiving an
academic degree is also higher among Christians and Jews than Muslim and Druse
According to CBS, the occurrence of brain drain only increases
in the years following students' graduation from bachelor's or master's degree

>> reporter: matt, good morning to you. what a close call here along the river. like in so many communities around california , the big concern with this latest storm was weather and flooding. this river runs for 121 miles and threatened homes in both california and nevada , but today so many locals are breathing a huge sigh of relief. this morning the truckee river rages. at its crest in some areas rising above flood level. the threat so y severe the county declared a state of emergency . but today not enough rain and water to trigger widespread damage. most homes here sit just above the surging rapids.
>> we dodged a bullet, and we're really happy about that.
>> reporter: carolyn watched the river crest to within feet of her home. her family packed their bags just in case.
>> such a feeling of relief that we didn't lose our deck. we don't have debris sitting in our front door, and that we don't have three feet of water inside the house.
>> i can't believe how much rain we got in such a short period of time.
>> reporter: across california , the golden state was hammered with its third round of wicked winter weather in just five days. flash flooding shut down roads and businesses. across the state downed trees and toppled utility poles knocked out power to 620,000 people. near sacramento, a 93-year-old blind woman was rescued by her grandson when this mobile park flooded.
>> i'm doing fine. it's these four guys had to haul me out of here.
>> reporter: at higher elevations a steady downtower turn turned to a blanket of snow and along the truckee river the winter blast a good sight.
>> the moisture that's in the snow stays on the ground and does not flow into the river.
>> reporter: this morning a mountain community relieved as much of the state dries out and cleans up. even with better weather conditions forecasted at least for the next several hours, washo county remains in a state of emergency . when the sun comes up here, they will try to survey the damage, but they are already preparing for the next storm. matt?
>> miguel almaguer out in truckee, california . thank you very much.

This is the front of the tent I posted photos of yesterday: a little trickier to draw on as it's the side with the door.
The drawing shows the festival again of course: the house with grounds, campers and - in the distance, stilt-walkers.
After it was finished, I gave it away to one of the people who was willing to play some silly games in order to get it. The winner was Lizzy from Wurlitzer who had rescored and excellent accompaniment to Murnau's silent film, Sunrise, on Thursday night.


text: This is what I find quite disturbing. He's clearly not right in the head, and in no ways should be the father of 3 offspring at 21 years old. (Then again, there's very few people in the world that ARE right in the head that should have 3 children at that age). I feel awful for his kids He and his wife also went through a nasty rough patch after his first stint on the show, I was surprised to hear that she was pregnant again.

BOSTON -- Manager Terry Francona continues to preach the importance of swinging at strikes to all of his hitters, but there's one person he doesn't include in that conversation.
After Dustin Pedroia took a shoulder-high fastball and planted it in the parking lot over the left-field wall during Thursday's 10-4 win over the Orioles, that will surely continue.
"That's why I never really talk to him about it," Francona said.
Pedroia, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a first-inning single Friday, has a knack for hitting pitches he shouldn't, leading the team in percentage of balls hit that were out of the strike zone (82.4 percent), according to FanGraphs.
Yet he's been somewhat of an enigma this season, on pace to shatter his career high in walks with 61 free passes through 330 at-bats. Even more ironic, 28 percent of the pitches he swings at are outside of the zone, also a career high.
Francona said Pedroia certainly hasn't appeared more selective at the plate this season, but he's been happy with the walk totals.
"I just think that he's working the counts real well, and then he gets it to two strikes and he's laying off that [bad] pitch," the skipper said. "His approach, to me, seems pretty similar."
Right-handed-hitting Navarro shifts to outfield
BOSTON -- Yamaico Navarro made his first Major League start in the outfield on Friday night against the Orioles.
With left-handers hitting just .213 against Baltimore starter Zach Britton, Josh Reddick and J.D. Drew got the day off, and Darnell McDonald moved to right field, leaving the right-handed-hitting Navarro in left and batting ninth.
"He's got a good clock defensively," said manager Terry Francona. "Like when the ball's hit to him at short or third, I'm sure it helps to have an arm like that, but you never see him rush. He's got a real good idea, real good awareness of where the runner is. It seems like that's kind of translated out to the outfield as well."
Navarro had never played the outfield at any level until this season, when coaches started to notice his ability in Spring Training. He played 11 games there with Triple-A Pawtucket without making an error.
"We saw him run balls down this spring in BP, and a lot of guys do it, but it seemed like, as an organization, all of a sudden we were like, 'Maybe we ought to think about doing this,'" Francona said. "But we wanted to get his feet on the ground in Triple-A first. He started out hitting real well, then he got hurt. Then they moved him to both left and right -- more left than right. But they say he's been good."
The 23-year-old is hitting .286 (4-for-14) since being called up Saturday. His only home run came off a left-handed pitcher.
Worth noting
Carl Crawford said Friday that his strained left hamstring is somewhere in the 80 to 90 percent range.
"Not really, not really when I'm moving," Crawford said when asked if he still feels the injury, which has had him on the 15-day disabled list since June 18. "Moreso afterwards, and that's normal to be sore afterwards. I definitely feel like I can play, and that's the important thing."
Crawford said he has not yet been told where his Minor League rehab assignment after the All-Star Break will be, but said he doesn't care if it's at Triple-A, where the highest-caliber pitching is, or not.
Boston hadn't hit six homers in a game before Thursday's 10-4 win over the Orioles since Sept. 8, 2009, also a win over Baltimore. All six on Thursday came from a different Sox player, matching the team's record for the number of players to homer in a game for the fifth time.
Adrian Gonzalez needs at least two more hits in three games to match Wade Boggs' and Nomar Garciaparra's record for most hits by a Red Sox player before the All-Star break, 125 (since 1946).
Daniel Bard has held opponents scoreless in 17 innings over his last 16 appearances, dating to May 27.
Another third baseman could be named to the American League All-Star team, because the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez bowed out Friday due to a knee injury. Kevin Youkilis' numbers -- .276, 12 home runs -- are decent, if not stellar. He's been banged up with a variety of injuries, though, and likely could benefit from the rest. With no bearing on whether Youkilis would replace Rodriguez, Youkilis said Friday he's not a fan of the All-Star Game counting for home-field advantage in the World Series.

Washburn to take on Dice-K
Boston (66-43) at Seattle (60-47), Saturday, 7:05 p.m. PT
It's been a while since Jarrod Washburn has beaten the Red Sox -- more than three years, to be exact.Washburn is 3-3 with a 4.66 ERA in his career against the Red Sox, and has not recorded a win against them since July 15, 2004, and averages less than six innings per game against them. He gets another chance Saturday when the Mariners host the Red Sox in the second game of a three-game series at Safeco Field. Washburn has been very solid for Seattle thus far this season, however, as he is second on the team with 11 quality starts, and has pitched at least six innings in 15 of his 21 starts this year. He has not earned a win since July 4, when he held the Royals scoreless through eight innings. The 32-year-old is 0-1 in his last four starts, including three consecutive no-decisions, although he won three straight decisions from June 23 through July 4. Pitching matchup
SEA: LHP Jarrod Washburn (8-7, 4.11 ERA)
Washburn lasted five innings in his last outing, allowing five runs, three earned, on five hits in five innings against the A's. BOS: RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (12-8, 3.75 ERA)
Dice-K has yet to record a win against the Mariners, as he is 0-1 with a 4.95 ERA in three starts against them. He last started against Seattle at Safeco Field on June 27, in which he earned a no-decision after allowing one run on three hits while striking out eight in eight innings. Player to watch
Jose Guillen has experienced more success against Dice-K than any other Mariner, hitting .500 against the righty, including three RBIs. Tickets

Aquaponics is the integration of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a water-circulating, soil-less system. The natural bacteria in the ecosystem converts waste from the fish to nutrients which is absorbed by the plants and removed from the water. This growing method requires minimal water usage and no chemical fertilizers while providing organic produce and fish from the system. For some great aquaponics videos see our What is Aquaponics page.

sound quality can be improved
Arnel Pineda , guitarist , key board were all excellent.
The concert was well worth it
[33 of 35 customers found this review helpful]
Journey concerts are always high energy. They are great musicians. We sing along to the songs and enjoy new songs too. They keep the crowd in it. They don't attract a rowdy crowd either. I frequent many concerts of different bands. Journey is one of my favorites because it's allot of fun and great hit music. I like to make a tradition out of frequenting these concerts with my twin teenage daughters.
[11 of 15 customers found this review helpful]
Two of our favorite bands - Heart and Jorney - at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sept. 2, 2009. Heart was fantastic and we had very high expectations for Journey as well. Sound mix was horrible and really ruined an energetic performance by Journey. We walked out before an encore, as did many others who were seemingly wondering what happened to the sound.
[17 of 28 customers found this review helpful]
The new lead singer jumped around the stage out of sync with the music, obviously younger than the rest of the group, his voice was amazing, but stage presence lacked maturity. Lead guitarist had too much emphasis and volume much of the time, his performance wasn't reflective of what Journey used to be. Many "where are the old songs we came to hear" comments.

After winning the first set 6-3, Belgian Kim Clijsters retired at 1-2 in the second set of her second round match against qualifier Zheng Jie at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, citing an injury to her left abdominal area. Clijsters had the area taped, and retired from the match as the trainer was set to attend to her for the second time.
The match was Clijsters' first since 's-Hertogenbosch in June, having pulled out of Wimbledon before the tournament began with a (presumably unrelated) foot injury.
In an interview with Rogers Sportsnet (a Canadian cable sports channel) after the match, Zheng said that Clijsters told her during the handshake that it was an issue with her "stomach muscle." Zheng added that she could tell something was wrong with Clijsters, as the four-time Grand Slam champion was not able to reach her normal velocity on serves.
Clijsters, who was the No. 2 seed in Toronto, is the defending champion at next week's Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, as well as at the upcoming US Open.
The injury also scuttles what had been a highly anticipated potential third round encounter between Clijsters and Serena Williams. Zheng will now face the winner of the second round round match between Williams and Julia Goerges.

Garth Brooks, the man with friends in low places, has chosen the Windy City as his first top on his epic new world tour.
A fan named Andy Roberts was in the audience of a question and answer session with the country star and asked him where the first stop on his tour would be. Brooks told Roberts that he would be the first to know the answer to that question and said he could do "whatever he wanted" with the information.
Brooks stayed true to his word and called Roberts personally Monday to tell him the big news. According to Roberts, the tour will start right here in Chicago!
According to USA Today, Roberts revealed the city at Children's HealthCare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, an Atlanta children's hospital. He described the country legend as "super-nice and super-easy to talk to."
Tuesday morning, Garth Brooks announced he will take the stage at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont at 7:30 p.m. Trisha Yearwood will also perform at the concert. Tickets for the concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning.

How Do China and Russia Think of Iran?
by Inoljt, Fri Dec 04, 2009 at 04:28:36 PM EST
The United States media often - and for good reason - portrays China and Russia as reluctant to implement sanctions on Iran. Rarely (too rarely), however, does it attempt to view the issue through a Chinese or Russian lens. Americans nearly never try to understand the complex motivations behind Chinese and Russian lukewarmness.
I will attempt to do that now. How do China and Russia think of Iran?
Probably in the same way we think of Honduras. The lukewarm American opposition to the coup strikingly parallels China and Russia's stances on Iran.
If forced to state a position, most American officials probably would consider Micheletti in the wrong. By ousting Zelaya in his pajamas, Honduras revived a terrible tradition. Central America has a long history of destabilizing coups; they do terrible damage to a nation's future prospects. While Zelaya's actions may have been wrong, the army's action was unquestionably unconstitutional.
But that's exactly it. Zelaya wasn't exactly an innocent victim in all this. As conservatives have pointed out again and again, the situation isn't so clear-cut. The president, a widely unpopular figure, was pushing a poll of uncertain constitutionality. He attempted to align Honduras with Hugo Chavez's anti-American alliance and was entertaining a (constitutionally forbidden) term extension.
Thus, the United States has been decidedly lukewarm in its criticism of the coup - analogous to Chinese and Russian moderation regarding Iran. Honduras has mounted a lobbying campaign in Congress; it appears to be yielding fruit. Several Republican congressmen visited Honduras; the administration"is not talking about imposing new sanctions for now."
The truth is, if the United States fully committed itself against the government - if it suddenly suspended all foreign aid and threatened military action - it would fall in a matter of days. It doesn't however, because it's rightly sympathetic to Micheletti, just as China and Russia are sympathetic to Iran.
So the next time you bemoan Chinese or Russian foot-dragging on Iran, consider American foot-dragging in Honduras. The United States has legitimate arguments against taking too militant a stance in Honduras. China and Russia may have reasonable concerns, too.
After all, they were right regarding Iraq.

Seen on TV:
This year's Tony Awards broadcast was a breezy, fast-moving, wisecracking affair, helped immensely by Hugh Jackman, who made a charming, unpretentious host. The numbers from nominated shows looked good, especially those from Hairspray and Movin' Out; a particular highlight was Bernadette Peters' sizzling rendition of "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy, which should end any speculation that she isn't vocally up to the role. The show's opening, with Billy Joel singing "New York State of Mind" in the middle of Duffy Square, set just the right tone. It was also the gayest Tonys in several years, which is really saying something, with winner after winner gleefully outing themselves on national television. Among the highlights: Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, dressed to the nines, confessing to being "theatre geeks"; Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the Hairspray songwriting team, affirming their love on national TV and sealing it with a kiss; presenter Mike Wallace discussing his one Broadway credit in the 1954 art-world comedy Reclining Figure; presenter Barbara Walters amusingly squashing the rumor that she attended the original opening night of La Bohème in 1896; Frank Langella scooping up elderly Tony doyenne Isabelle Stevenson, Rhett Butler fashion, and carrying her offstage; award winner Michele Pawk terming herself a "geriatric Cinderella" and enthusing: "I have never ever in my life been more proud to be a member of this community. Men kissing each other onstage! Drag queens! Children! It's a perfect world--as it should be."
Not everything worked. A sequence with the cast of Def Poetry Jam performing in Duffy Square, was a bust, thanks to the poor sound reproduction. And the relegation of the design winners to an offline ceremony continues to outrage--this year, they were moved right off the broadcast. Then again, two of the winners Catherine Martin and Nigel Levings, of La Bohème, didn't even show up, so we'll leave out complaints on this matter for another year. Also deeply bemusing was the fact that nearly every commercial during the broadcast was for psychotropic drugs; clearly, CBS has weird ideas about the target audience for the Tony broadcast (Joe Mantello's acceptance speech, in which he claimed to be on Xanax, made him sound like a pitchperson for the show's sponsors). The ratings were predictably low, but, as Tony ceremonies go, this was better than most. --David Barbour
Seen at the Movies: New Zealander Niki Caro's film Whale Rider is a lovely piece of contemporary folklore, stunningly shot by Leon Narbey in the coastal Maori community of Whangara, on the North Island. It centers on Pai, an adolescent girl who carries the bloodline of those who pass down her people's traditions and legends. The problem is, only males are privy to the knowledge, and Pai's twin brother died (along with their mother) in childbirth. Pai is ready to pick up the mantle of leader, but her grandfather Koro puts up a fierce resistance. The film, based on a novel by Witi Ihimaera, is, of course, a female empowerment tale, but it doesn't push too hard on this; instead, it allows dynamic little tyro Keisha Castle-Hughes, who plays Pai, to carry the theme with implicit power. The other actors, including Rawiri Paratene as Koro, are excellent, too.
Whale Rider photo: Newmarket Films
Like Castle-Hughes, Narbey doesn't employ any showy effects to bowl us over. He lets the dramatic setting speak for itself, and allows the magic to emerge from the material, and from the ocean itself when the whales (some mixture of real and animatronic) appear. A sequence of the barnacle-covered creatures beached and expiring is really unforgettable. Production designer Grant Major, on holiday from The Lord of the Rings movies, does a fine job with the characters' living spaces--modern with just a few traditional touches. Costume designer Kristy Cameron strikes a similar balance, as does Lisa Gerrard's score, which is a real beaut. David Madigan's sound mix is also an important component.
Hollywood Homicide photo: Columbia Pictures
Until its last half-hour, Hollywood Homicide really isn't as bad as its trailer makes it seem. It's got the wobbly concept of partnered LAPD detectives (Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett) who moonlight in other careers--the older man as a real estate agent, the younger as an actor. On their day job, they're investigating a multiple homicide in the rap world, which is populated by a clichéd crew of thugs and wannabes. Director Ron Shelton at least gives the proceedings a loose-limbed style, and interesting people like Lena Olin and Gladys Knight keep turning up. The Hollywood locations are well shot by Barry Peterson--the film's surface exudes that lazy, hazy LA feeling. In addition, production designer James D. Bissell has a real eye for the trashy Beverly Hills manse. But the movie's uncertain blend of violent action and comedy comes a cropper during the final, extended chase scene, one of those numbing car-and-foot-and-brandished-gun pursuits which at one point finds Ford hijacking a little girl's bicycle. Ghastly. And what's with Hartnett's hair? Does he have some gruesome scar on his forehead he's trying to hide, or is this just the youngblood's version of a combover?--John Calhoun
The Persians photo: Carol Rosegg
Seen Off Broadway: Aeschylus' The Persians, the oldest play extant in Western literature, isn't really ever revived and you'll know why if you see the National Actors Theatre revival at Pace University. Ethan McSweeny's staging is more than competent--it's a dignified, well-spoken, thoughtful reading of the text. However, the play itself is a dry document from a lost world, unlike other Greek works, such as Medea or The Oresteia, which, with their powerful psychological insights, can still speak to modern audiences. The text is an after-the-fact recounting of a historical moment, in which the Persians invaded Greece and were soundly beaten. Ellen McLaughlin's translation features a prologue touting the play as an eyewitness account of a historic battle--apparently, Aeschylus observed the hostilities himself--but that's no substitute for richly drawn characters or a compelling narrative. The cast, including Roberta Maxwell and Len Cariou, do their best, but it's a less than electric evening. The production's design is notably stylish; James Noone's setting features a circular thrust stage set against a background of exposed lighting rigs, backed by a tilted mirror, and grounded in blood-red sand. Kevin Adams' lighting takes advantage of this scenic conception to deliver some dark, moodily effective looks. Jess Goldstein dresses the chorus in modern clothes, with Middle Eastern robes on top--the richly brocaded gold cape worn by Maxwell is particularly eye-grabbing. Michael Roth is billed as sound designer but he's really acting here as a composer, creating a running undertone of ominous percussion sounds. The few projections designed by Marilys Ernst are rather dark and uneven in quality--this is the first time I've seen her work and she may have been hampered by budget considerations. I suppose that theatre students might want to check out this production, but for general audiences, it's a battle to stay awake for 80 minutes. --DB
Savannah Bay photo: Dixie Sheridan
Seen Off Broadway: France, Part I. Classic Stage Company's production of Savannah Bay is cool and aloof. Even the extremely talented actress Kathleen Chalfant cannot break though the ice. Not that the water of Savannah Bay, where the action takes place, is actually frozen, but director Les Waters has not added much warmth to the proceedings. Written by French author Marguerite Duras, the play is slight and enigmatic, with Chalfant playing an elderly actress, and Marin Ireland, playing an almost totally expressionless younger woman--perhaps her dead daughter, perhaps her granddaughter, perhaps a younger version of the actress. They are reliving the facts of a love affair that took place long ago and a death that took place there on Savannah Bay. The set by Myung Hee Cho takes us to a house on the shores of the bay. It has a black floor and a dark backdrop above two black steps and a platform that runs the width of the playing area. The only furniture is a black table and two black chairs, although there is an Edith Piaf record playing on an unseen phonograph, with sound design by Darron L. West. A white teapot and cups sit in stark contrast on the table. The costumes by Ilona Somogyi consist of two long dresses, red for Chalfont, burgundy for Ireland, with matching shoes, and it is hinted that the dresses come from the actress' costume collection. Robert Wierzel's lighting uses a small rig but adds atmosphere, and at one moment the dark backdrop becomes lighter, almost blue, as if it were the sea stretching to infinity. The real problem is the slow movement, which seems more like stilted choreography, as the actresses slowly remember the past. More spirited direction might do Duras more service; although her work is lyrical, I'd like to see a more theatrical interpretation onstage.
The Little Prince photo: George Hixson
Seen in Houston: France, Part II. The Little Prince, one of the world's most charming books, is now an opera as well. Based on the beloved book by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the opera tells the story of a pilot who crashes in the Sahara desert, where he meets a little prince from a far-away star who teaches him some fundamental truths about life. With music by Rachel Portman and lyrics by Nicholas Wright, the world premiere of this opera took place at the Houston Grand Opera on May 31 and runs though June 22. Directed by Francesca Zambello, this production features the last sets and costumes designed by the late Maria Bjornson (who won a Tony for her designs of The Phantom of the Opera and passed away last December). Adrian Linford is credited as set realizer. The designs are based on the original drawings in the book, with one set of sand dunes in the desert with a large blue plane in the first act, and a smaller blue plane upstage in Act Two, as if the action is taking place further from the crash site. There is also a round portal, or false proscenium, with steps along the inner edge that serves as a frame for the act curtains that are maps of the world as seen from the plane. The portal moves apart at the top of each act and frames the action as well. Singers appear in windows in the sides of the portal and in the sand dunes, and also use the steps in the portals as perches. The lighting by American LD Rick Fisher, who lives in London, is quite beautiful, dappling the dunes with sun or evening light. There is one very big lighting "moment," when there is no singing, just music, and the pilot and the little prince turn their backs to the audience to watch a sunset, and the upstage cyc explodes with color as the sun sets. Charming and sad at the same time, this version of The Little Prince is sure to please audiences of all ages (and for those who don't get it, they are selling A Guide for Adults along with copies of the book in the lobby.
Les Boréades photo: Jack Vartoogian
Seen in Brooklyn: France, Part III. Direct from the Paris National Opera to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) comes Les Arts Florissants with the American premiere of Rameau's Les Boréades, an opera written in 1763 but never seen until 1982. This new production (which premiered in Paris on March 28, 2003) is directed by Robert Carsen, with set and costume design by Michael Levine, and lighting by Peter van Praet (chief lighting designer at the Flanders Opera) and Robert Carsen. The story is that of a queen who is forced by the gods to chose one of the sons of Boreas, god of the north wind, as her husband. But she is in love with a mere mortal, who in the end turns out to be of Borean blood, so all's well that ends well. As is typical of Les Arts Florissants' production, this one is beautifully performed musically under the baton of conductor William Christie. The choreography by Edouard Locke is in keeping with the updating of the opera to the 20th century. The decor is absolutely stunning, with the first scene on a stage completely covered with a garden of wildflowers, which give way to autumn leaves, then to a raging snow storm, and, as love conquers all at the end, new flowers are planted across the stage. The lighting makes use of almost entirely crosslighting with a limited palette of cold white, warmer white or yellow, and blue, with four ladders of fixtures on each side of the stage. With so much dancing taking center stage, the decor includes just an enormous table also used as a performance platform, and chairs. The flowers, leaves, and snow create the visual surprises. --Ellen Lampert-Gréaux

Heard from San Francisco: The new Broadway season is off and running with the San Francisco tryout of Wicked, a new musical about the early lives of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch, of Oz fame. The production opened out of town this week to reviews that sternly noted that much more work was needed to get it into Broadway shape. Reviewers had complaints about Winnie Holtzman's book, but they were particularly tough on Stephen Schwartz's score. Karen D'Souza in the San Jose Mercury News wrote, "There's a sugary sameness to the songs, which seem devoted to soaring melody for its own sake instead of propelling the story forward or revealing anything about character." In Variety, Dennis Harvey warned that "Gluey, banal sentiment reaches artery-choking levels several times here." On the plus side, D'Souza noted "The real stars of the show are Eugene Lee's set design and Susan Hilferty's fanciful costumes." San Francisco Chronicle critic Robert Hurwitt also had good words for "Kenneth Posner's vigorous lighting and Elaine McCarthy's inventive projections." Little or nothing was said about Tony Meola's sound design, which is par for the course, since reviewers rarely notice sound design unless a show is wildly over-amplified. Wicked doesn't open in New York until October 31. Stay tuned for further developments. --DB

Another gun buyback set for Saturday
Original post made on Feb 26, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, February 26, 2013, 11:09 AM
on Feb 26, 2013 at 1:01 pm
The answer is zero.
The questions are:
Over the last year, how many people were killed by old, non-operational rifles?
How many of the people turning in guns were gang members?
How many guns will be tested to see if they match bullets used in homicides?
on Feb 26, 2013 at 2:25 pm
Exactly -- I guarantee not a single gang member turned in a gun.
And I wonder how many people got cash for a non-working gun, so that they could go out and buy a brand new working one?
Might be a "feel good" kind of effort, but will do absolutely nothing to reduce violence.
on Feb 26, 2013 at 2:31 pm
They do not pay as much.
What is the amount of money per gun that I might receive?
Up to $100.00 CASH will be given to individuals on the spot for hand guns, shotguns, and rifles and up to $200.00 CASH for assault weapons (as classified by the State of California). However, we reserve the right to limit the amount of funds an individual can receive.

Reducing Our Energy Consumption
Climate change is one of the most significant problems facing life on Earth. Our planet's atmosphere and oceans are warming; sea levels are rising; and the global climate system has changed and continues to change. According to the IPCC (Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change), most of "the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."
While we cannot stop the warming, we can and must act to slow it down. One way to affect change is to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG's), i.e., to reduce our carbon footprint. While each of us can do so at home, we all can do so at FIT as well.
The college has made great strides over the past 6 years and has reduced its carbon emissions substantially, but more can be done. We, the members of the Sustainability Council and the Faculty Senate Sustainability Committee, are asking all of the FIT community to help reduce our energy usage wherever and whenever possible. Every effort helps.
How to reduce electricity consumption at FIT
Put computers into sleep-mode whenever possible; turn them off on the weekends.
Turn off projectors when not in use; especially before leaving a room.
Turn-off classroom and office lights manually when leaving rooms - motion sensors take up to 20 - 30 minutes to turn-off the lights.
Use daylight: many rooms have ample amount of light during the day and do not need additional electric lights on all the time.
Unplug chargers and turn off electronic devices.
Refrain from using space heaters and fans, or limit their use, and unplug them when leaving a room.
Use scanners in the Library and keep photocopying and printing to a minimum.
Instead of using elevator walk the stairs.

I made the recipe exactly as it was printed and when the time was up to pull the cupcakes out of the oven, I saw that the middles were sunk ?? what caused that?
I made these exactly how the recipe directed, and they were out of this world, delicious!! My cupcake pans are "standard" size, so it made an entire two dozen! I wish I'd thought to double the frosting, though! This is a definite keeper! Thanks!
this is THE best chocolate and peanut butter recipe I have ever made. It reminds me of funny bones. It is a recipe that is requested many times!
I'm glad I read the recepie carefully to see it called for large muffin tins. I used standard sized tins and made 24 standard cupcakes in liners. I doubled the peanutbutter filling so each cupcake had about a tablespoon. I frosted just like the photo and still used a a single batch. Cupcakes turned out nice and moist and frosting had a fabulous rich flavor. Little time consuming, but worth it.
DON"T waste your time. I would give zero if I could. I wish I could attach a picture to show you how poorly these turned out. Ruined, and now I will be going to the Christmas party with nothing. I used all the batter, and there was an excess - but it was supposed to be "12 large cupcakes"- turned into overflowed pan (glad I didn't use the excess). Made a huge mess. Wouldn't separate. The peanut butter gooed out the bottom. Worst recipe I think I've ever followed. Would never try this again.

|Put our best canal forward
|Monday, June 04, 2012 9:31 AM
On June 23, it will be time for another canal cleanup. The last few have been sparsely attended. I know it's a busy time for everyone but keeping up on our waterway is important; some may say imperative.
Volunteers will line the banks of the Miami-Erie Canal armed with rakes, cutters and weed whackers. Intrusive weeds and brush will be no more and litter will be picked up and properly disposed of. Occasionally, some brave soul dons a pair of waders and heads in to pull out bicycles, car tires and more.
The effort will be made to spruce up the canal for the upcoming Fourth of July celebration and also to keep a handle on the ever-growing weeds and small trees that seem to need no rain to survive and thrive.
For many, the canal is an eyesore. "Fill it in," they say. For others, the canal is a historic landmark and part of our heritage. Delphos was once thought to be on the verge of becoming a huge, thriving city when the canal traffic was at its peak. Then along came the railroads and those dreams of glory faded.
However you look at it, it needs to stay clean. I know a lot of trash blows in the canal on a windy day. That would tell me that we have to keep trash picked up elsewhere as well.
I don't ever recall seeing things in the canal when I was growing up. There may have been but my co-conspirator in the newsroom doesn't recall that being a problem back then, either. (We won't say how far back then is.)
The canal was the hot spot year round. Fishing and crawdad-catching in the summer, ice skating in the winter and just goofing around in between.
I can remember building fires on the banks in the winter so we wouldn't have to go in as soon because of freezing fingers and toes. Ice skates seemed to draw cold to your feet. It's some kind of unexplained phenomenon. The whole entire rest of your body would be warm and your toes would be numb with cold.
Hockey games broke out without notice with milk crates set up for goals. The slice of skates on ice and the clashing of hockey sticks filled many an afternoon. Even shoveling the snow off the canal was an entertaining prospect.
I can remember a perpetual pile of wet clothing in the mud room and endless cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows floating on top.
There are quite a few of us out there who remember the "good old days" on the canal. Thankfully, there are quite a few who would like to see more.
When you see the notice for the clean-up effort, please make a little time to help. It will give you some instant gratification and the canal a much-needed facelift.

Hopper's Freshman of the Year Honor Highlights Volleyball's Postseason Honors
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After securing the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament, the FGCU volleyball team (17-12, 10-3 A-Sun) landed three student-athletes on the All-Conference teams, announced by the league office on Tuesday.
Highlighting the postseason accolades, freshman Jill Hopper (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown HS) was tabbed as the Freshman of the Year. The Green and Blue landed two players on the All-Conference second team and All-Freshmen squad, and one student-athlete on the inaugural Academic All-Conference team.
In her first year on campus, Hopper has been a dominant force on the court, being named the top freshman in the league while picking up an All-Conference second team selection and a unanimous All-Freshmen nod. Hopper leads the team in points (434.0), kills (358) and service aces (46). The Muncie, Ind. native, who has recorded seven double-doubles this season, ranks fifth in the conference and first among A-Sun freshmen in kills.
Senior Holly Youngquist (Estero, Fla./Evangelical Christian HS) joined Hopper on the All-Conference second team. Youngquist, the 2011 A-Sun Preseason Libero of the Year and three-time A-Sun All-Academic honoree, is currently in fifth place in the A-Sun Conference record books with 1,620 career digs. The Estero, Fla. product, who earned second team honors in 2010, leads FGCU in digs (434; 4.13 per set), while ranking third in assists and fifth in service aces. Earning a 3.79 cumulative GPA in resort and hospitality management, the libero is the lone Eagle on the A-Sun's first All-Academic team.
Freshman setter Gigi Meyer (Gainesville, Fla./Buchholz HS) joined Hopper on the league's All-Freshmen team. Meyer, who ranks fifth on the team in digs (187), leads FGCU and sits fourth in the A-Sun in total assists (989). The Gainesville, Fla. native has recorded seven double-doubles and registered double digit assists in 27 of 29 matches, including a career-high 61 vs. ETSU (Oct. 15).
Making the program's second-ever appearance, the Green and Blue will continue into the postseason as the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament No. 3 seed. FGCU plays No. 6 seed North Florida (14-16, 5-8 A-Sun) at 6 p.m. ET Thursday at Lipscomb's Allen Arena. FGCU is 2-0 against North Florida this season.
The winner of the FGCU/UNF matchup will face No. 2 Lipscomb at 6 p.m. ET Friday night. The A-Sun final is Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Allen Arena, with an automatic NCAA berth awaiting the champion.
Live stats for the tournament will be available at Lipscombsports.com and live video via ASun.TV will be available for free for every match.

CATEGORIES Drama, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Quentin Tarantino, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalAccording to a report in Screen Daily, the unpredictable, prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike has two new surprises in store: he is directing his first film in English, and he is directing what is considered to be Japan's first Western. Miike had previously expressed his interest in making a Western, and now his dream has come true with a remake of Sergio Corbucci's classic Django (1966). Rather than the old West, however, the new film will be set during the Genpei clan wars of the 12th century.
The cast members, including Hideaki Ito (Onmyoji), Koichi Sato (Gonin), Kaori Momoi (Memoirs of a Geisha), Yusuke Iseya (After Life) and Masanobu Ando (Battle Royale), took an intensive two-month English classes to prepare for their roles. Last year, Miike directed the one-hour, made-for-TV movie Imprint in English, but Django will be his first English-language theatrical release. Miike began his directing career in the early 1990s, pumping out dozens of straight-to-video films, sometimes up to five or six in a given year. In 1996, he broke through to another level with his film Fudoh, and followed that up with the international cult classics Audition (1999), Dead or Alive (1999), Ichi the Killer (2001) and Visitor Q (2001). Miike is also known for his ability to jump genres, making horror, action, sci-fi, family movies and musicals on the turn of a dime.
"I want to make a film that will make audiences think 'Japanese are cool!'," Miike told the press on Sunday, an ironic statement coming from one of the coolest filmmakers in the world. It's likely that Quentin Tarantino had something to do with inspiring this unique new project; Tarantino has long championed Miike's films, and Miike made a cameo appearance in Hostel, which was executive produced by Tarantino. Now Tarantino will return the favor by playing a part in Django.
The movie is will shoot in Yamagata Prefecture and is scheduled to wrap by the end of November.

If they are going to design something for the environment, shouldn't more people be able to afford it? Does the earth really need more luxury junk?

His eyes are the only thing attractive about him now. Not his bulbous face, pallid complexion, spindly body, doughy midsection. I still can't believe he is the same guy from Titanic, boy has he aged and not for the better. I'm slighty younger than he is and wouldn't want to look like him for all the money in the world. He was handsome in some of his earlier roles, what happened?
bellacu 6 years
Dear Leo, Please try a different haircut so that we can concentrate on your AMAZING eyes. Thanks! Love, bellacu
lizzyy 6 years
Leo was hot in the Departed but that was shot years ago. I don`t think he is hot anymore, he is aging and not well... Great actor and what he does as an activist is cool but I wouldn`t say he is that attractive anymore. I don`t really get it why people still care about Sienna M. and Amy W.

Amy should hit me so I can knock her the f*** out and sue her afterwards :)

OH, sunny - and speaking of the Departed...that sex scene! I was ready to jump through the screen and attack him! MMMMMM!

oh i agree on leo too. hes much more appealing with age!!

Leo is definitely getting better looking as he ages. I did NOT understand the appeal in Titanic, but finally in The Departed I was like YUM!!
lisa101 6 years
sienna is trashing her reputation!!!and imagine ruining your family just for a fling. i dont normally pass moral judgements on behaviour as i think it can be quite puritanical on here but if this story is true its the pits
ilanac13 6 years
you know, about the 90210 cast - i think this is a sign that they are afraid that the show won't succeed with out the familiar names. we'll have to see what happens right? that's interesting that everyone who's linked to the A-rod divorce has the same manager. interesting how that works. you know, i missed the finale of hell's kitchen, but i'm not surprised at all with the outcome. i guessed that one a while back - just knowing how gordon is and who he would want in his restaurant. amy amy amy - what's going on there? she's just having a bad year i think. stardom doesn't seem to agree with her huh?

uh amy you do us so proud, and so lady like?!?! what is wrong with her, she needs to be locked up for at least a week?!

Oh I'd love to see those watches. And is anyone else surprised that Amy Winehouse is punching people? It's really time for you to go to rehab girl. And shame on Balthazar Getty! I can't believe he just threw everything away! What about your wife and your kidS? And you, Sienna? Goodness. You got hurt when Jude cheated on you with the nanny? What are you doing now then? Worse, that guy has a wife and children, how could you? Oh okay, $148,000. I was expecting like gold stoves and pans for $148mil haha!

And sidenote: Why isnt Lenny more concerned with his hoochie daughter and her underage drinking? Pfft to him and crazy @ss Lisa Bonet or whatever she changed her name to now.
Alisha_Stiletto 6 years
Id pay good money to see that. I'll be honest though, all my money would be on Amy. She might be skinny, but that chick is scrappy. As for the A-Rod thing: Im leery of it. Why didnt Lenny just come out with this story when it first hit, instead of now, ya know? All those reports of C-Rod being out in France with him, they could have killed it with one statement. But they didnt. NOW they decide to? I smell a rat. A tattooed rat with an afro. I think they bumped uglies. LOL

Go to the TMZ link, it was just a typo here. They are suing for $148,000 NOT million. Pretty sure that kitchen would have to be made of gold and platinum.
Alisha_Stiletto 6 years
LOL! You know thats where her stash is. She might be crazier than Britters, but there's a huge difference btwn the two: Amy has TALENT. Lene: I tell you, I think he was funny looking when he was younger. Everyone was all about him, and I couldnt figure it out.

Getty's proving himself to be quite the sleaze.
RosaDilia 6 years
Balthazar and Sienna are too putrid to even feed to the dogs!! Could it be that he's suing for $148 million? I just can't fathom a kitchen costing that much in renovations. Is it covered in platinum and diamonds? LOL Alisha!! Maybe that's just Amy handles her withdrawals!
pinkprincess1101 6 years
amy wino needs to be committed already with two separate rooms one for her crazy ass and another for her crazy as head, she gives britney a run for her money in the hair department

Hooray for Nat at the Peach Pit!!!
Alisha_Stiletto 6 years
I think Leonardo DiCaprio's time has passed. He's a constant bore to me. BUT, I will say that I think he gets way better looking as he gets older. Im not surprised Amy took another swing at someone. Homegirl is wacked out on crack, booze, pills and god knows what else. She'd smoke her socks to get high, yet we're surprised she swung at someone? Gimme a break. *She's still my girl though. Balthazar Getty. I have no words for him. Dirtbag.

OMG - just read the linked piece on Leo's watches on E!online: "Personally inscribed with the A-lister's signature, its value is estimated at $300,000 (which should buy a whole lot of carbon credits). The second limited-edition piece, valued at $400,000, is Jaeger's 175th-anniversary Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2, which is made out of platinum." :jawdrop:

Our Good Day Prep Star of the Week is a senior wrestler from Bowen High School on the South Side who made history last weekend.
Ronzel Darling won the Public League title in the 113 pound weight class last Sunday at Chicago State University. That in itself is a pretty big deal, but Darling's done it before; in fact, he's won a city title three times before.
The victory over Lane Tech's Danny Carlson on an injury default makes Darling just the second four-time Public League champ ever. Darling is 22-0 this year, and he told the Chicago Tribune his ultimate goal is to win state.
Darling's a good student too; he's got a 4.1 GPA. His favorite athlete isn't a wrestler, it's South Side hoopster Derrick Rose.
Congrats to Darling, his coach Ron Wilson and the Bowen Boilermakers, who took second place in the city.

Sticky Buns
Hands-On Time: 10min
Cook Time: 40min
Ready In: 50min
Yield: 2 dozen rolls (in 1 large bundt cake)
These gooey, sticky sweet rolls make a perfect holiday morning breakfast because all the work is done the night before. Easier still, frozen bread dough forms the base. A generous sprinkling of brown sugar and melted butter makes a luscious, dripping caramel sauce when turned out onto a plate, and kids have a blast picking them apart—and licking their fingers when they are done.
- Slice each loaf of dough into 12 pieces, squish slightly and place in the bottom of a greased bundt pan.
- In a bowl, mix together the pudding mix, brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top of the dough.
- Melt one stick of butter and drizzle over the top of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise overnight.
- In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove wrap and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a rimmed platter. Pull apart and eat while still warm.

Pair remanded for ex-boxer murder
3:02am Sunday 5th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Two men have appeared in court charged with the murder of a gifted former amateur boxer who died following an attack at a New Year's Eve party.
Mark Denton, 31, died in hospital after he was seriously injured at a party in Hutton Avenue, Hartlepool.
David Sowerby, 23, of Allerton Close, Hartlepool, and Anthony Middleton, 21, of Bruntoft Avenue, appeared at Teesside Magistrates Court, Middlesbrough, for a brief hearing.
Both men were remanded in custody and will appear next at Teesside Crown Court on January 7.
A 17 year old arrested in connection with the inquiry has been released without charge.
Mr Denton's family said they were heartbroken by the loss of the "larger-than-life character".
A tribute said: "We are absolutely devastated and heartbroken to have lost Mark, and in such a tragic way.
"He was a loving uncle, brother, son and boyfriend and he will be sadly missed by everyone. Our hearts will never heal from the loss of Mark, he was a larger-than-life character and our loss is immeasurable."
Mr Denton was a promising middleweight when he was younger and was well known in the local boxing community.

The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce is not backing down, after its selection of former football star Michael Vick as prime speaker at the annual Evening of Champions event draws tens of thousands of complaints.
WNCN first broke the story, which has since gotten national attention, as animal rights activists continue to protest the selection. Viewers and readers have flooded WNCN's website and social media sites to express their views on the topic.
What do you think? Let us know on
A petition demanding the Chamber remove Vick from the program has been signed by more than 53,000 people on the website change.org.
The program, scheduled to take place Feb. 12 at PNC Arena, costs as much as $75 a person to attend, and will "salute the stars of local sports," event organizers said.
Vick, who is currently a free agent, played for the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. However, in 2007, Vick was implicated in an illegal dog fighting ring, for which he pleaded guilty and served time in prison.
Organizers say attendees of the event will, "Learn the real story about his incredible NFL career, his meteoric rise from poverty to riches and fame, his downfall, and his improbable comeback," according to the event's website.
Harvey Schmitt, president and CEO of the Chamber, told WNCN the Chamber was aware the pick would be controversial.
Thursday, Schmitt said of those protesting, "We've heard their concerns and are reviewing their concerns."
However, he fell short of saying the speaking gig is in jeopardy.
"The event is scheduled for Feb. 12 and we're looking forward to it," he said.
"There is a group of folks, who are very unhappy with Mr. Vick for a variety of reasons --- and they are passionate about it," he added.
He wants to make it clear, the night is not about Vick but the local sports stars being spotlighted.
"The recognition is not for Mr. Vick," he stressed.
"Mr. Vick has an interesting story to tell. It is one of an attempt for his personal redemption."
The Chamber couldn't tell us how much Vick is being paid for his Raleigh visit, but confirmed, "Yes, there are expenses associated with his arrival," said Schmitt.
The critics aren't just online. WNCN spoke with the Wake County SPCA, who said they are "confused and perplexed" at Vick being hired to speak.
