Dodge (Ragtime) directs and choreographs the Tony Award-winning musical that runs through Oct. 6. Dodge's vision for Cabaret includes casting African American performer Graham in the central role of the mysterious Emcee.
"Yes, our story is centered on the German-Jewish-Nazi conflict, but the person who invites the audience into this story; the one who breaks the fourth wall and comments on the action; the one who satirizes the plight of Sally Bowles and her unlikely suitor, Cliff; the one who portends to know the outcome, is the Emcee," she said in a statement. "What an exciting opportunity to add another layer to this story in a way that makes it even more provocative in its telling in the year 2013."
Graham, who was recently seen Off-Broadway in Hit the Wall and in the Broadway production of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, leads a cast that includes Liz Pearce (Sense & Sensibility) as Sally Bowles and Hunter Ryan Herdlicka (A Little Night Music) as Cliff.
Cabaret has set design by Michael Schweikardt, costume design by Angela Wendt, lighting design by John Lasiter and sound design by ACME Sound Partners.
Cabaret features a book by Joe Masteroff, based on the John Van Druten play "I Am a Camera" and the original stories by Christopher Isherwood. John Kander and Fred Ebb penned the Tony-Award winning score to the musical that features such hits as "Willkommen," "So What," "Don't Tell Mama" and the title song.

We haven't long said goodbye to the last awards season, but already next year's hopefuls are starting to make themselves known.
Here is a list of ten movies in 2012 to watch out for – with all the ingredients of an Oscar-nominated film, we'll be hearing much more about them in the coming months.
10: Lincoln (UK release, 25th January 2013)
Although not released internationally until January, it just creeps into the Oscar eligibility with a late December release in the States. The Civil War Biopic is directed by Spielberg, scored by John Williams, with a cast including Daniel Day-Lewis as Abe Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
If you want to place an early bet on the 2013 Best Picture winner, this is it.

Stylish and well equipped house!
Beautifully decorated place in one of the prettiest Vermont villages. We truly enjoyed our stay and we're happy to report that everything worked and was up to standard. The house is well equipped and had plenty of heat and water, despite the cold weather we had. The driveway was plowed and access to house was good. Also, the wifi, tv and music system all worked and the living room fireplace was nice. Didn't try the one in the tv room... All and all a pleasant stay, would do it again!
Perfectly located, lovely home for weekend getaway
I came up here with my boyfriend for the weekend and we had a wonderful time. The house is 15 minutes away from Grafton Ponds Recreation Center where there is affordable cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sleigh rides in a beautiful setting. 15 minutes in the other direction is Chester, where we had a great brunch at the Country Girl Diner and were able to pick up groceries at Lisai's Market to cook dinner. The house has every kitchen tool you'd need. We loved that the door on the wood stove opens so that you can watch the fire roar. Another highlight was walking on the property around the house - there are great pathways made smooth by snowmobiles for easy walking in the snow. Thank you Katharine for such a great time!
Days gone by with all the modern touches
We rented the barn studio for a birthday weekend. We have been coming to Grafton for years and always stayed at the Old Tavern, now The Grafton Inn but wanted a different experience. The location is perfect for a quiet weekend. The barn adjoins the main house which is also a rental. For two people wanting a romantic get way, use the barn. It is just out of the center of Grafton, within a short walking distance to everything you need. The road is little traveled, so road noise is not a factor. Renovations of the barn are well done. There appears to be no corner cutting with the redo. You have the feeling you are in a barn but with all the modern amenities. Upon arrival you are supplied with fresh eggs and milk, nice touch. For the evening pick up cheese and wine locally and enjoy the fire. If you wanted to be connected, wi-fi is there, but you can also escape with the surroundings to days gone by. Grafton is a restored town brought back many years ago by the Windham Foundation and private homeowners. It is a a postcard town. The process to rent was simple, security returned in a timely manner.

The family of Kendrick Johnson is asking for an investigation into the funeral home who handled their son's body.The 17-year-old Valdosta teen was found dead inside of a wrestling mat at Lowndes County High School in January. The death was initially ruled an accident, but the family never agreed with that assessment. They eventually exhumed his body for a second autopsy, which found evidence of foul play. That post-exhumation autopsy also reportedly found the teen's organ's missing and his body stuffed with newspaper."We were thinking we buried out son, but we only buried half of our son," said Kenneth Johnson, Kendrick's father.Paperwork filed on Tuesday with the Secretary of State asked that office to investigate what happened to Kendrick's missing organs, specifically targeting the funeral that handled his body. They're also urging Gov. Nathan Deal to appoint an independent coroner as well as a new coroner's investigation to look into the evidence they say is missing from this case, such as Johnson's fingernails and his clothes. The family believes that these new probes will find their son's death was a murder that was covered up."Somebody knows what happened, and we're going to solve this murder mystery, one way or another," said Benjamin Crump, the family's attorney.A rally is scheduled on Wednesday morning to mark the 11-month anniversary of Johnson's death. It will be held at the Georgia Capitol.

Nearly a quarter of people with psoriasis seek care for their disease from a primary care physician, and insurance status affects how psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients seek care, according to data from the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF). Respondents cited giving up on treatment and prohibitive costs as the primary reasons for not seeking care.
A team of psoriasis researchers led by Dr. April Armstrong of the University of California, Davis, analyzed eight years of NPF data to determine the access-to-care issues and out-of-pocket costs facing people with psoriatic diseases. Of the more than 5,600 people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis analyzed, 92 percent of patients had seen at least one physician in two years. Among those seeking care, 22 percent saw a primary care doctor.
When asked for reasons why they did not see a specialist—dermatologist or rheumatologist—to treat their disease, most patients said they had either given up on treatment (28 percent), it was too expensive (21 percent) or it was too much of a hassle (11 percent). Although roughly 91 percent of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients were covered by insurance, the majority spent greater than $2,500 per year in out-of-pocket costs for their disease.
Other findings reveal that patients with access to insurance and those with severe psoriasis were significantly more likely to see a specialist to treat their disease. Compared to males, women are 1.5 times more likely to seek care.

The Lakeland Police Advisory Commission tasked with helping figure out what's wrong in the police department wants to know if their city wants them there in the first place.
"I think we should definitely get something from each individual on the commission saying 'yes we support you,'" said commission member Tim Jackson.
7/24/2013 Related Story: Three members of Lakeland police advisory commission resign
The questions come after Mayor Gow Fields picked 15 people to be on the panel, but five stepped down even before the first meeting. Some cited fears that the commission was too large. Mayor Fields said the City Commission was on-board to begin with, but hinted there was concern about how he formed the panel.
"We did have the full support of the commission to go forward with this as a citizen engagement vehicle," Fields said. "There were questions as to whether or not I had the authority to do the appointments and we believe we answered those with - yes I do."
He told the Police Advisory Commission in its first meeting Thursday that he will clarify City Commissioner support but stood firm that there needed to be movement when it came to the police department, which has been hit with several investigations over the past couple of weeks from a sex scandal, to reports of officers falsifying documents and forcing women to shake-out their bras during traffic stops.
"Our public was demanding much faster action than some people felt we were delivering," Mayor Fields said. "There are some things that did need to be very deliberate."

But the LPAC wants reassurance.
"I for one would feel a whole lot better if we had that clear mandate from a united city commission to go ahead with this," said commission member Bruce Abels.
The advisory commission named Abels as chairman and Tim Jackson as vice-chair. They will meet weekly on Friday, starting August 2.

On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court ruled that Justice Bernette Johnson will be the court's next chief justice, settling a racially-charged debate over the future of the high court. And that's the topic of this week's Commentary by Eyewitness News Political Analyst and Gambit columnist Clancy DuBos.
Clancy DuBos / Eyewitness News Political Analyst
The Louisiana Supreme Court's decision today to name Justice Bernette Johnson as the next chief justice finally resolves a painful, divisive chapter in the high court's history. The court made the right decision, and it's significant that it was unanimous.
The court's 21-page opinion zeroes in on the crux of the controversy in the very first sentence. It notes that the Louisiana constitution requires that the judge who is, quote, "oldest in point of service on the supreme court shall be chief justice."
That really doesn't leave room for interpretation. It doesn't say, as the justices correctly noted, that the judge who was elected first becomes chief justice. It says that the judge who has served the longest is the chief justice.
Justice Johnson has served longer than any other justice on the court, after current Chief Justice Kitty Kimball. Chief Justice Kimball will retire at the end of January. At that time, Justice Johnson will make history by becoming Louisiana's first African-American chief justice.
Let's hope that history also sees today's decision as the beginning of a time of healing on the court, and in the legal community.

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis - Dec. 26, 2009
Santa Anita's 75th anniversary season begins with a stellar 10-race program that offers plenty of rolling exotic value. The Pro Ride surface generally offers the closers a bit of an advantage, especially in races with contested speed, so don't be afraid to back a late runner and you just might get a nice price doing just that.
We're intrigued by #6 Mr. Braggadocio in the opener and at 8-1 on the morning he's a "must use" in your rolling daily double, pick-3, and the early pick-4. Dropping out of a straight maiden state bred race into a maiden claimer for Cassidy, the juvenile colt retains Flores and has come back to work pretty well over this track. He's got enough speed to be within striking range throughout, and if he moves forward as expected he'll be dangerous. #4 Veecu had no visible excuse when third at 3/5 across town but he does have the style to enjoy this elongated sprint trip, so we'll toss him in. And #10 Strikingly Sinful lands a comfortable outside post, removes blinkers, and retains Espinoza. We'll give him one more chance.
A bottom of the barrel route affair occupies the second half of the early daily double and #5 Super Harmony should improve a ton in his first start for Craig Dollase. The veteran gelding has won over this track in the past, continues to act sharp in the morning, and switches to Martin Pedroza. His best puts him right there and at 9/2 on the morning line he'll be our top pick. #7 One Shot drops drastically in class and is always tough on the front end. If he's got one more good one left in him, the Avila-trained gelding will be hard to overhaul. #9 Smooth and Savvy has some back form that makes him a fit at this level and has run well over the track in the past. He's worth using in the exotics.
#2 Acclamation is entered tomorrow in the San Gabriel Handicap so he might scratch out of the third race but if he goes today he'll be hard to beat. Third at 75-1 in the Hollywood Derby after leading the way into the lane, the son of Unusual Heat clearly out classes this first level allowance field and should fall into an ideal pace prompting position. The likely pacesetter – stretching out and trying turf for the first time – is the Carla Gaines-trained #5 Tactful. The Bertrando gelding was lugging out throughout when dominating a fairly decent sprint field at Hollywood Park last month but he'd better not pull that same stunt in this spot. However, if he relaxes on the front end he'll take them a very long way and looks like the one the favorite has to fear most.
The fourth race is a weak bottom rung maiden claiming router for older fillies and mares and should be a spread race for rolling exotics players. Use as many as you can afford to, but the three that definitely should be on your ticket are #8 Singitnsignit, #2 Lucy Got Lucky, and #1 Glory Forever. Singitnsignit has that classic two-sprints-and-a-stretch-out pattern and the pedigree to improve a ton over a distance of ground. She's actually run better in both of her sprint races that it looks like on paper – in both outings she was finishing as well as anything in the final furlong – and her recent works indicate she very much wants more ground. She's certainly the most dangerous 30-1 morning line runner on the program and is a "must use" in your exotics. Lucy Got Lucky is a first-off-the-claim play now in the Canani barn, so don't be surprised to see vast improvement. She's drawn comfortably inside and under Pedroza should be prominent throughout. Glory Forever stretches out for the first time, lands the rail, and will take them as far as she can. On pedigree she might have a hard time staying the trip but if a sprinter is ever going to stay a middle distance, it'll be the first time trying.
Throughout the 83-day season we'll be faced with dozens of down-the-hill turf raffles and the fifth race is one such affair. The two most likely to run well are #4 High Standards and #5 Crossing the Line, so be sure to include them both on your rolling exotic ticket. High Standards ran second in a stakes race over this course a couple of years ago so the switch in surface won't be an issue and the Marty Jones-trained gelding has enough early speed to stay out of trouble. He's winless this year but has run a few winning races and is overdue for some luck. Crossing the Line was rusty in his comeback but should be much tighter and fitter today for Sadler. He'll he eight years old in a week, and this will only be his eighth lifetime start. But he's won five of seven lifetime and is back with Gomez, who won the Del Mar Mile Handicap on him back in 2007.
The first of four stakes races on the program is the California Breeders' Champion Stakes, which goes as the sixth event, and #4 Caracortado deserves top billing despite the fact he's trying a distance of ground for the first time while moving up in class. An athletic gelding with smooth, silky action, the son of Cat Dreams seems like a candidate to stretch out successfully, especially if he's part of what should be a moderate pace. The main threat might come from a filly, #8 La Nez, who also was entered on Sunday in the filly version of this race. Not sure which event trainer Eric Kruljac will opt for, but if she remains here the daughter of Storm Creek must be given a legitimate look, having already won a stakes over the Pro Surface during the Oak Tree meeting. We'll use her if she runs; otherwise Caracortado is a strong single candidate.
The Sir Beaufort Stakes, which last year was won by Gio Ponti in an off-the-turf affair, probably doesn't have anybody quite that good in the field this year. Or maybe it does. #6 The Usual Q. T. has reeled off five straight wins on grass, most recently capturing the Hollywood Derby at 10 furlongs, but he's every bit as effective at this one mile trip and anything close to his best race makes him the most likely winner on the program. There's no value at 4/5 on the morning line, but if you're looking for a rolling exotics single, he's your – and everybody else's – logical candidate.
The Grade 1 La Brea Stakes, the first event in the La Canada series, is extremely deep and competitive, and has a number of contenders that must be used in the rolling exotics. We'll give ever so slight preference to #4 Amazed by Grace, who is seeking her sixth straight win but is trying a synthetic track (and seven furlongs) for the first time. She's trained well over the Pro Ride while preparing for this race and while she has plenty of early speed she has shown the ability to sit off the pace and rally for victory as well, so Gomez has a few options. At first glance 6-1 on the morning line seems juicy, but that's probably what she should be in a field loaded with talent. #1 Kays and Jays won the Cascapedia Stakes from the rail at this trip during the Oak Tree meeting and is thoroughly genuine and consistent. #5 Evita Argentina was victimized by a lack of pace and a very wide trip when unplaced in the B.C. Filly & Mare sprint last time out; this clearly is an easier spot and she has been a graded stakes winner at this distance on this track in the past. There certainly would appear to be enough early speed to compliment her late-running style. And #10 Gabby's Golden Gal has trained like her old self for Baffert, and anything close to her superb victory in the Acorn Stakes on Belmont Stakes day last summer will make her very difficult to beat.
The traditional opening day feature – and the final Grade 1 event of the year – is the Malibu Stakes, the penultimate event on the program. #1 Misremembered has never been tried around one turn but he deserves a big look based on his superb runner up try (beaten a neck) against top older handicap runners in the Clark at Churchill Downs last month. The rail is no bargain but a recent sharp drill should have him on edge and while the Strub at nine furlongs is his ultimate goal, the son of Candy Ride just might win this on class alone. The first three finishers in the Damascus Stakes, run under similar conditions on Breeders' Cup day, return and all three, #11 Smart Bid, #4 Supreme Summit and #13 M One Rifle, are hard to separate. Any one of the three could improve enough to win. If you're looking for a tote buster, you might want to consider #2 Kinsella, who like Misremembered has never sprinted, but has an exceptional turn of foot and could be very dangerous from off the pace if the early fractions are reasonable. He's been training for several weeks over the Pro Ride specifically for this race and acts like he loves it.
The nightcap is a tough maiden juvenile sprint affair that has couple of second time starters who should improve a bunch with a race underneath them. #2 Nextdoorneighbor missed by a less than a length in a sharp debut for Mike Machowsky last month and earned a good figure in the process. With any kind of forward move today he'll be difficult to deny. #1 Ziggy's Stardust might eventually prefer a route of ground, but he finished with interest in a solid debut and is another very likely to improve with experience. Same can be said for #6 Leothelion, who kept to his task in his debut and should be the better for it. And trainer Julio Canani has a promising first timer in #7 Big Man Has a Sign, who has done everything right in the morning. Martin Pedroza, who rides, has worked this colt for Julio, so he knows him well, and the Petionville gelding must be used at 8-1 on the morning line.

Any educated scholar who has studied that journey knows that Bill Steigerwald simply hasn't enough facts to "debunk" that journey ("Sorry, Charley, Was Steinbeck's 'Travels with Charley' a fraud?" Reason magazine, April 2011").
For some reason the press continues to give this guy way too much ink ("Letters From The Editor: Somewhat let down by a boyhood hero," Coastline Pilot, April 16). As far as I'm concerned, and I know mountains about that journey, the author of that Reason article is just another individual who wants to build a career on rumor and innuendo. Please let his absurd story go away.
If you were at all moved by "Travels With Charley," and have done as much research over the years as I have, and if you really even care, you should speak with Dr. Susan Shillinglaw, scholar in residence at The National Steinbeck Center, to get the true facts of the journey. After all, she has read all of the letters, while Steigerwald claims to have read the rather limited collection of letters at the Mercantile Library.
When we saw this guy's first article, we thought, "Well it's just another one trying to follow the journey and sell a book." That's something we deal with all the time and frankly, there is some wonderful work out there by others inspired by the original journey, e.g.: "Travels with Max," by Gregory Ziegler. But this fellow decided it was his duty as a "journalist" to invalidate the entire work, "Travels With Charley" and John Steinbeck, as an aside. It's one thing to do the proper research and quite another to simply look for a point of view that will "stir the pot," as it were.
Normally, the Steinbeck family would step back and let the story run its course, but Steigerwald has managed to keep the story running ad nauseam. To tell you the truth, I would never have jumped into the fray, but he is so ill-informed and has managed to reach such a wide audience, that it has become a little creepy. He is misleading the public and the problem is that he is incorrect in the majority of his assumptions.
My husband, Thomas Steinbeck, author of "Down to a Soundless Sea" and "In the Shadow of the Cypress," wrote a screenplay for HBO based upon "Travels with Charley" and the research we did for that project was voluminous. Thom was also a teenager at the time of the journey, and he agrees that while his stepmother was on board for short segments of the trip, she would never have agreed to make that sort of a trip in a camper. She was used to a rather different sort of travel and lifestyle.
Basically, the Reason story is bogus. There are some wonderful scholars out there who are more capable of giving you the facts than I am, or certainly more so than he. As I mentioned earlier, Dr. Susan Shillinglaw has read every letter and article ever written on the subject, while Thomas and I have been busy with our own life journey. Sadly, Steigerwald missed the entire purpose of the journey and of course the spirit of a nation to which John Steinbeck was bidding adieu.
I only wrote to you because it made me sad to think that you were being duped.
Gail Steinbeck
Editor's note: The author is the daughter-in-law of John Steinbeck. She wrote to Daily Pilot Editor John Canalis in response to his column about the controversy surrounding "Travels with Charley."
No new fees to preserve open space
Regarding the news item that a group wants us to pay for more open space for them ("Group wants tax to buy open spaces," April 21). It is outrageous that a group of well-off environmental extremists want to stick the rest of us with a tax increase to satisfy their own goals.
We have paid for years for the green space around Laguna that they forced on us years ago. This is a nice scenic space for the people in the Saddleback Valley to view and use without paying a cent and a huge costly fire and flood hazard for us.
I suggest that if this group wants to own these parcels of land, that they collect the money from their own gang and buy the land themselves, not force the rest of us to pay for their desires.
It is totally illogical to buy the lots in question. Obviously the land is open now, so why buy it since they should already be happy? If someone owns a piece of that open land that is buildable and wants to build on it, that's fine since someone gets a home, we get a new neighbor, the government gets more tax money, working people get jobs and the ever present fire danger is diminished a little.
The last thing the average person in Laguna needs is a tax increase. Gasoline prices are going out of sight, utilities costs are increasing, working people are losing jobs or getting less paid hours, food and clothing costs are increasing, and if the oil prices stay this high or go higher the cost of everything will increase dramatically.
It is totally irresponsible for people to propose any form of tax and/or fee increase at any time, even for things we need; but it's even more irresponsible in these difficult times to buy something not really needed at all. Please don't sign their self serving Initiative and don't vote for it. If the rich want it, let them buy it with their own money. Notice that the money they want to collect from us is by the lot, not by the value of the assessed property. Nice for some and bad for others, since richest property owner in Laguna won't have to pay any more than the poorest property owner.

In this whole impasse with the lockout between owners and players we've heard their sides, but the fans' thoughts have been mostly silent. That's a shame. As a fan I have a problem with the current (just expired) CBA. I'm not for the owners or the players - I'm for us fans. As a fan I want to have our home team consistently be competitive. I've been a season ticket holder for years including through the 21-61 record timeframe when Tracy McGrady was the star. As a fan I also want to get fair value for my money that I pay in ticket prices and concession fees (such as an $8 beer). As a fan, I don't mind the star players commanding what they're worth in a free market economy. D Wade recently mentioned that the stars like he and Dwight are worth $40-50M/yr. They are earning it in my mind.
The just expired CBA and the way the current NBA is run is completely against my goals and desires as a fan. Don't misinterpret - I'm not pro-union or pro-owner. I'm pro-fan.
More after the jump
We all know Dwight Howard is considering leaving the Magic. Why? Is it because of Stan's yelling? Is it because a larger media market offers more exposure? I believe NO. Dwight wants to win (and I, as a fan in Orlando, want him to win - HERE). Does anyone believe that D12 would be considering leaving if he had a solid supporting cast in Orlando to bring a championship to the City Beautiful and we'd be competitive for an NBA championship over the next 5 years? No way. Stan's yelling would be a non-issue if Dwight thought he could win in Orlando. Then, as Magic fans, we must ask ourselves "why are we about to lose Dwight?" and "If he leaves how long will it take us to be competitive again?"
As a fan, I believe the problem is the large guaranteed contracts in the just expired CBA. Yes – no one put a gun to an owner's (or GM's) head to make them sign a player. However, when a team is saddled with non-performing players it decreases the team's competitive ability. We may end up losing Dwight when he becomes a free agent because the Magic are saddled with Arenas' and Turkuglo's salaries as well as the millions being paid to players like Duhon when the team receives limited results.
As we know from the Miami big 3 last year, it's not all about money when they signed for less than max contracts. Stars want to win. There's enough money in the system that they don't chase max contracts just for the money. However the Magic will likely not be able to build around Dwight due to poor contracts and the Magic could again go into years of mediocrity until they have cap space or land a once in 10 year talent in a future draft.
As a fan I believe the system is BROKE when we hear that teams are posturing to clear cap space years in advance just to get themselves into competitive position down the road. The Heat and Knicks spent years in mediocrity until this year. As fans, why should we put up with mediocrity and have our ticket and concession money going to a system that does not allow our team to be competitive year in and year out?
The Magic are blessed as a small market franchise in that they have deep pocket owners. Most small markets are not. I'm not a fan of the Devos family but as owners of the the Magic they have spent like drunken sailors to bring a championship here. As we all know the contracts have not worked out and we're now in a situation where, if Dwight leaves, we'll be saddled with Arenas as our player that takes money away from us being competitive. Make anyone feel good?
The NBAPA needs to recognize that its bad contracts are far more detrimental to the game than either baseball or football. Baseball essentially has 14 starters (the 8 position players, 5 starters and a closer). Football has 24 (11 each offensive and defensive and 2 kickers) and these are not guaranteed. Basketball has 5. It is much easier for a baseball or football team to stay competitive when 1 out of 14 or 24 contracts is not working out. With basketball, a non-performing contract significantly hurts a team and its ability to be competitive. I believe owners want to put a competitive team on the floor and that's what I want as a fan.
Wild guess – but I believe the owners would even maybe consider a 55% revenue split of BRI to the players if the CBA did not have guaranteed contracts and all the stuff that leads to non-performance and lack of a team's competitive balance. Would the union take 55% of BRI if they could decide how to divide the revenue up amongst the players? They could base it on whatever the union values - $1M/yr for every year in the league? Star power where stars get more? Role players a set number? I'd love to see a system where every year the owners decide who they want to keep in order to have the most competitive team. Those players a team doesn't want go back into a common draft along with all the college and international players. If some team doesn't draft a player – so be it they're done. Take Arenas for example. If the Magic didn't think he was what they want for 2011-12 – cut him. If no other team wants him, he doesn't play next year. Maybe he gets in shape and comes back the following year. Let the union decide where their portion of the BRI should go. Do they want to pay Arenas a severance out of the BRI split they'd control? So be it. But I'd guarantee, even with a 55% revenue split where the union gets to determine how the money is split amongst the players, that the union isn't going to give Arenas $20M for the year. So why do the players expect the owners, and ultimately us fans through ticket prices and high concession fees, to pay this amount on bad contracts? I have no problem with my season ticket prices if they are going to performing players. I'd be happy to have Dwight get $40M/yr and Arenas zero. . [It'd be interesting to see how the players viewed this scenario where it'd be up to them to split the money amongst the players and the owners weren't viewed as the bad guys. Would Gil get $20M this year and $60M+ over the next 3]?
As a fan I don't mind the owners taking a hard stand. It's ultimately our money (ticket prices, etc.). I don't like it going to long term bad contracts where there is no out and hurts a team's competitive ability for years. I don't have guaranteed employment at my job and I sure don't make near the amount of money the average NBA player does. In this tough economy does a salesman have guaranteed employment and does their company forgive them if they don't make their quota? Not likely. Then as fans that are supporting the league and players, why should we not expect from them the same work conditions we are subjected to?
Imagine Arenas anchoring the Magic for the next 2 years as the star player beyond 2011-2012 (assuming D12 signs elsewhere to win). BLEAK. Low attendance, not making the playoffs, etc. How is this good for the NBA game as a whole or the team? Situations like this actually equate to less total BRI – which hurts the players' total take when they have a set percentage.
To me, I enjoy watching the games but it's also a night to go to downtown Orlando and get a bite to eat before the game and some nightlife after. I can still get this with replacement players until some sanity is brought back to the league and a CBA that also has the fans' interests at heart. I am fully willing to pay stars like Dwight what they're worth – even say $40M/yr. I am not happy though on paying for non-performing players that hurt the Magic's ability to put a competitive team on the floor year in and year out.
As a fan I want my voice spoken (and hopefully heard).

Council Watch
Velocipedes on Tramway
Albuquerque got a little more bicycle-friendly after the City Council approved a measure to allow bikes on Tramway and other limited-access roads. Councilors removed a prohibition that kept bicyclists off a few roads at the Monday, March 21 meeting. Councilor Trudy Jones said she received hundreds of comments from bicyclists asking to be allowed to ride legally. Police Chief Ray Schultz said his officers would sometimes give warnings to those riding on Tramway and said he is in support of this change.

PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Fantasia Barrino, Stepping Into Her Favorite Era in Broadway's After Midnight
By Michael Gioia
Grammy Award-winning recording artist Fantasia Barrino returns to Broadway for the first time since her critically acclaimed stint as Celie in The Color Purple. She is the first headliner of Broadway's After Midnight and chats with Playbill about stepping into the Cotton Club.
At the press preview for the new Broadway musical revue After Midnight, which began performances Oct. 18 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, Fantasia Barrino admitted that she was a bit nervous before offering members of the press a sneak peek of "Stormy Weather," the 1933 tune by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler that she performs in the show. Maybe it was because she holds the music of the Jazz Age so close to heart. Maybe it was because two of her musical inspirations, Lena Horne and Billie Holiday, left their individual marks on the tune. Maybe it was because Barrino hadn't planned to return to Broadway after she left The Color Purple in 2008.
However, when producer Scott Sanders explained that After Midnight would explore the music of the 1920s and 30s and celebrate Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club, Barrino couldn't turn down the offer. The actress is the first in a series of headliners slated to grace the Brooks Atkinson stage throughout the show's run. Following Barrino, After Midnight will welcome Grammy Award winner k.d. lang and Grammy Award-winning artists Toni Braxton and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds. Playbill.com caught up with the show's first star at the After Midnight meet-and-greet. She chatted about being given the chance to explore her favorite generation — Jazz.
You're coming back to Broadway. It's not about the role this time, but more about the music. What excites you about being able to free yourself and explore this music?
These women — Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald — did they serve as your vocal inspirations growing up?
FB: Oh, God, yes. I always said I was born in the wrong time. I felt like I should've been born in that era! Those women were very, very strong, beautiful [women], but women who went through a lot of things. They sung their pain. They sung their hurt, and they pushed through by the music. Even [Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's] "Stormy Weather"… It's a beautiful song, but lyrically, it's talking about pain — being hurt, not being able to seem to find the right love and [how to] actually get through that pain, that heavy pain. I can feel that pain. I played Celie, and she dealt with a lot of things… This one is a little different, but there's still a lot of emotion in my role.
What excites you to about being able to bring this era — the 20s and 30s — to 2013 Broadway? After Midnight is riffing from the Cotton Club tradition of bringing in special guests — drawing in different audiences to relive this era.
I find it interesting that Langston Hughes' poetry and language is used to guide the audience through the piece. Did artists of this era have an affect on who you grew up to be? What special ties do you haveb to the Jazz Age?
Can you tell me about the world that director-choreographer Warren Carlyle is creating? We're getting taken back to this sexy and sultry era.
FB: Oh gosh, I think that he is truly gifted. When I first met him, I looked at him like, "You're doing the play?" [Laughs.] He's like, "Yeah!" I had questions for him. I wanted to know, "What makes you want to do something like this?" and "Did you grow up in music all around you?" He said, "It's just a different language. It's good music, and I think people need to see and hear what I grew up on and what I loved." He's putting his all into this. When you see the dancing, you're going to be blown away [with] the way they put everything together. It's amazing. I actually start sitting down and working with him tomorrow, and I'm kind of nervous because I want to make him happy and make him proud because it's his vision. It's his baby. Tomorrow I'm probably going to go in with the mind[set] of, "I want to embody this character and really make him proud."
You just told me that before your performance of "Stormy Weather," you were a bit nervous. There's a sense of ownership to these songs. Icons have sang them. Is there pressure to breathe new life into this music?

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — A teenager is in custody after he allegedly accidentally fired a gun inside a home and ran from police on Tuesday afternoon.
Jesse Waymire, 19, of Anderson, faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm and resisting law enforcement after the incident which happened in the 100 block of Sixth Street at about 1:30 p.m.
According to Anderson Police Department spokesman Joel Sandefur, Waymire was visiting the home of an acquaintance when he allegedly fired a round from a Glock .45-caliber handgun into a closet.
The discharge was apparently an accident, but it angered the home's residents, who called 911 and chased Waymire from the home. When police arrived to investigate, they found the teen on a bicycle outside the home and a chase ensued.
Sandefur said officers chased the suspect to Third Street, where he was forced to jump off the bike and throw the handgun. A short foot race followed and an officer finally stopped the teen in an alley in the 1100 block of Third Street. Police eventually recovered the discarded gun and found an ammunition magazine in Waymire's possession, Sandefur said.
Pending further investigation, more charges could be filed against Waymire, Sandefur said.
"We're still looking into the gun. This is a pretty expensive handgun and we don't know who it belongs to yet. It's possible it was stolen," Sandefur said.
Sandefur said Waymire has had several recent run-ins with law enforcement, but no felony convictions. According to public records, he has pending charges of receiving stolen property, using a vehicle to resist law enforcement and operating a vehicle without a license for an incident in January. He has also been arrested three times for possession of marijuana in the past six months.

Water Spot Removal
Water spots are the development of calcium and other mineral deposits that have built up on the surface of the vehicle. Some experts suggest the surface needs to be buffed; some will use an acid based wash. This process requires special attention to all surfaces of the vehicle and may require several different strategies.
There are two types of water spots which accumulate on auto surfaces:
- Above Surface Bonded Contaminants. Usually some type of deposit, often times a mineral deposit that was suspended in the water source to begin with, then after the water evaporated off the finish the mineral is left behind where it bonds to the finish usually in a circular or pattern or shape
- Below Surface Defects. These are actually an etching in the surface where whatever was in the water was strong enough in its chemical composition to actually eat or dissolve the paint and thus etch into the paint.
My hard water spot/stain remover and cleaner is truly a unique formula designed to penetrate and dissolve Silica, mineral and lime deposits, calcium, salt spray, acid rain, rust/fallout, grease and some oxidation without damaging exterior surfaces. It's a powerful Micropore cleaner safe for both the car and the environment.

Meet The 2010 Dorchester Collection Prize Semifinalists-------
"Everyone involved in this was my A-list first choice," Bronwyn Cosgrave declared of the panel of judges she assembled to select the five short-listed semifinalists for the first Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize at London's Dorchester Hotel. That sentiment, one hopes, extends to said semifinalists, too. But Cosgrave could be forgiven for a little enthusiasm for the judging side of the table: It included Daphne Guinness, Manolo Blahnik, Giles Deacon, milliner Stephen Jones, Yasmin LeBon, Vanity Fair's Elizabeth Saltzman Walker, and ES fashion director Gianluca Longo. Despite the varied group, "it was a remarkably smooth decision process," Blahnik said. "We saw the number of applications and hung our heads. But it turns out that we were largely unified despite our different personal aesthetics." His co-panelist Guinness (pictured above with her fellow jurors) agreed heartily. "I take refuge in the arts," she said. "It was wonderful to have us all agree so easily, so that I could realize that I am not crazy and my values are shared."
The semifinalists are the English knitwear designer Louise Goldin; the Greek-born, London-based Mary Katrantzou; Hermione de Paula, who created a surprisingly dainty collection called "I Heart Elizabeth Berkley"; the sculptural footwear designer Chau Har Lee; and Thomas Tait, from Canada. The unifying factor—maybe the only one—is a commitment to craftsmanship and a preference for the conceptual (even, occasionally, at the expense of commercial viability).
But Guinness, for one, was all in favor. "Craftmanship needs to return," she declared. "I am always overjoyed to see students who love to stitch their own seams. We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty." As the only international fashion prize set to roam to a different fashion capital each year—at the site, not by coincidence, of a Dorchester Collection hotel; next year's will be in New York—the award should do just that. The winner, to be announced in November, takes home a £25,000 prize and a free event at any of the Dorchester Collection's properties.

Duck Rabbit's porter is black and easy to froth. No light comes through but the body didn't dump heavy enough to show much weight. The foam bubbled up quickly to a couple fingers in height. A tiny, microbubbled head that becomes ultra creamy, ultra fast. Sheet lacing is left behind in layers.
The nose is light, as in not rich or dense, but it has those qualities that huge stouts possess. Dark berries, blackberry and blue, a few underripe adding a slight vegetal note. Soft coffee with a sweetener added and a moderate roast. Deep pulls bring along some black licorice and a touch of alcohol. Unique.
Coffee and cream is first on the palate, a little bigger and bolder than the nose suggested. Macerated berries show themselves mid palate, some underripe, green berries, found their way into the bunch. A touch of anise again on the backend before coffee and cream take over on the swallow. The flavors are there but a little soft.
The body is moderate in weight, perhaps a touch lighter even. Carbonation is spritzy and tingles the tongue on its way through. A touch of roast bitterness gets left behind after each swallow. The lighter body and softer flavor profile make for an immensely easy drinker.
This isn't one of the best porters I have ever had but there are some unique touches and it's damn drinkable. The balance is spot on. I would pick this up occasionally if available in my area, unfortunately it is not.

Pours a deep brown with some red highlights thru out a slightly off white head that lingers for quite awhile,aroma is burnt with an odd lactic note (not a bad think)and a dark roast coffee note coming thru more as the beer as it warms.A really dry earthy beer bitter for the style not much sweetness a little more sweet as I drink more but very dry for the style.Pretty highly hopped porter here very earthy and nutty almost a nut brown character but more dry.Interesting to say the least I would love to try this on tap.

A: Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass producing an abundant light brown foamy head. Very dark brown, nearly black. Head reduces to a thin film of bubbles relatively quickly with good lacing.
S: Light coffee malts, but there is something else... sort of fruity, like green apples... just under the coffee.
T: Interesting, relatively malty flavors toward the sweet at first and then a lightly roasted coffee taste combined with a tart apple skin flavor. That apply flavor leaves a relatively clean finish with a linger of that initial malt.
M&D: Full mouthfeel with lighter carbonation. The somewhat curious combination of flavors combined with the appropriate carbonation makes this rather enjoyable.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine May 2007.
Coming from the self-proclaimed "Dark Beer Special- ists," this robust Porter has an addition of oats in the mash to smooth it out. They have also been known to sing softly to their yeast during fermentation. Whatever floats their duck.
Two fingers of a tight, tiny-bubbled head leaves a trail of tan lace down the glass after every sip. Smells of chocolaty roasted malt with yeast and a light fruitiness in the back. Very smooth in a dense medium body; creamy slick mouthfeel makes you go for another sip right away. Flavors of baker's chocolate, French Roast coffee and faint charcoal. Acrid, ghost-like twang and yeast flash past the taste buds. Dry, bready maltiness in the middle with a kiss of hop bitterness; both flavors end up overshadowed by a blanket of roasted grain in the drying finish.
A tasty Porter, with a good showing of balance and a sound, roasted flavor throughout. Above average for sure--largely because of its drinkability. A plate of pulled pork with a sweet molasses sauce and some black beans and rice would do well with this beer.

Pours a nice nearly black color with only bits of light wrapping around the corners. Head was thin and fleeting, but was a nice dark brown while it lasted before reducing to only a small ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
Smell is heavy of coffee with hints of oatmeal. There is also a nice sweet malt backing to this. A nice smell which is relatively full.
Taste is full with a bit of spice on the back end with flavors that remind me of a stout. I detect a fair amount of coffee as was found in the nose. But there is also some bittersweet chocolate.
This coats the mouth well and is full bodied and makes for a very filling and easy drinking brew. High recommended. An easy porter to fall back to.

12 oz bottle purchased at Peabody's in Boone, NC, on 3-5-05. Duck-Rabbit brews are a recent arrival in Boone, and this bottle is notched "best before 6-05". Pours a very dark brown body, almost opaque, with garnet tints around the edges when backlit. Cocoa head is small, but hangs around a few minutes before fading to a film. Some nice patchy lace is left on the glass. Aroma is dark toasted malts, mostly old coffee but with some chocolate and earthy hops. Mouthfeel is creamy, but a bit thin. Body is light medium with average carbonation. Taste has a predominant coffee flavor, with notes of chocolate, walnut nuttiness, and a hint of cherries toward the finish. Adequate hops bitterness is earthy and slightly herbal. Bitter coffee aftertaste is longlasting. Fresh tasting, and nicely drinkable. A decent porter from this small North Carolina brewery.

Thanks to AKSmokedPorter...
Black in color with no light passing thru...a full finger of tan head sits on top, most of which remains for half the pint.
Sweet milk chocolate mainly in the nose...a slight nutty character as well.
The taste is decent...slight metallic flavor, but a generous chocolate flavor to overcome it. Slight coffee flavor as it warms to room temperature.
Subtle vanilla bean in the finish, along with some green hops.
Mouthfeel is a tad thin...carbonation is too high for the style, but goes down quite easily, regardless.
Would enjoy on tap nearby or at the source...another solid offering from Duck Rabbit.

12oz. bottle courtesy of AKSmokedPorter. Notched "best by" date of what appears to be 12/04.
Poured an inky darkness...not quite black. A brownish-black with hints of amber at the edges. Bubbly tan-colored head lasts for a surprisingly long time and leaves minute rings of lace on the glass. Aromas of toasted grain and coffee predominately, but there's some caramel and raisin flowing underneath. Flavor is a mixture of chocolate and coffee. Had sort of a "Coca-Cola" character to it in the sweetness. Different, but not in a bad way. Thinner than expected but still drinkable. A solid first offering for me from Duck-Rabbit.

picked up a sixer of this beer on my vacation to the Outer Banks was in a lng neck brown bottle with a crimped cap seved in a nonic glass.
Brown/black with reddish hues letting some light pass through. Very generous tan head,very thick and creamy with good retention leaving thick lace curtians clinging down the glass.
Roasty,cocoa powder,nutty,milky and a very slight vinious aroma,moderate aromas and very pleasing.
Complex malty tastes,roasty,coffee.nutty,bakers chocolate with a slight vinious taste. Very nice balance with a clean.sharp,bitter finish,leaves a cocoa/chocolate aftertaste.
Very light and creamy. Great taste and a very light mouthfeel makes for great drinkability for a porter. Give this one a try if you happen to run across it.

Received this one in the Bif across america, bottle has some sort of drink by date which looks like 4/04. Pours a deep black with tan head which had a great deal of lacing as I drank. Chocolate is the first thing I detect in the nose along with a roasted like coffee scent. Taste is similar with a light chocolate up front with a great deal of roasted taste. Mouthfeel is light and really smooth, leaving my mouth feel like nothing ever went down.

Cap popped with a loud rush of air. I waited a few minutes to pour, but still ended up with a glass full of foam. Had to wait several more minutes for it to settle and then gradually fill the glass.
Deep mahogany colored with a huge foamy but tightly bubbled head, with whipped up lumps like meringue.
Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, a bit metallic, some molasses and brown sugar, a bit of smoke.
Flavor is intially cocoa, followed by some burnt wood and smoke, a currant/cherry tang, and a dark chocolate finish. A chalky talcy taste lingers. Noticed something similar in the brown ale, perhaps reminiscent of the yeast. Is this a ringwood brewer?
Full mouthfeel, finishes dry and tannnic.
Thanks to MuenchenerKindl for sharing.

Appears deep dark black with ruby highlights large fizzy bubbling tan head forms a dimpled texture and dwindles relatively quick with light uneven lacing bands forming down the sides of my glass. Aromatics deep roasted chocolate malts dry powdered cocoa tone with a creamy milky air to it light herbal hops here but overall the roasted coffee bean and chocolate creamy tones rule the day. Flavor wise a rolling combo of fruit including raisin and plum notes with chocolate, and coffee highlights this brew is a well made porter from front to the back low grazed herbal hops provide a touch of grassy bitterness but nothing that induces hop burps really relies on the bitterness of the dark roasts. Mouthfeel this is definitely a fuller bodied porter carbonation is a tad bitey but the overall velvet texture the body has to offer is amazing great stuff I love the feel of it kind ask for much more as the label shoves in my face these people are dark beer specialists. Drinkability is great quaffable yet poundable I guess that means that not only does it taste great and I desire more but I am also able to put a few of these down smooth traditional yet complex porter that I will grab again the next time I get a chance.

Undated (despite code area on label) 12oz bottle served in a snifter.
A: nearly black in color with a thick, creamy, khaki colored head.
S: dark roasted malts with a surprising amount of roasted coffee in the aroma, as well as hints of dark chocolate and raisins.
T: Dominated, as it should be, by a rich dark malt flavor. Again, a surprising amount of roasted coffee, yet without the pronounced bitterness of actual expresso. Fine lingering, dark malt aftertaste.
M: Medium body; smooth. Slightly dry finish.
O: a delightful porter; unique without any radical departures from style.

Picked up a single bottle from Green's on Buford in Atlanta.
Pours a very dark brown color with chestnut highlights and a one-finger tan head. The head dissipates into a wispy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of roasted malts with good amounts of dark chocolate. As it warms the roasted malt aromas lighten up a bit.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Roasted malt flavors up front with hints of dark chocolate that linger until the roasted bitter ending. As it warms, tangy dark fruit flavors lurk in the background.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished one off pretty quickly and buying a six-pack of this isn't a bad idea.
Overall this has everything I look for in a porter, just not with the right balance to make this a phenomenal beer. Still, it's very good and worth picking up.

Thanks to beachbum1975 for this brew.
12oz. brown bottle poured into a pint.
A: Pours deep brown, nearly black. A big strong head forms mocha colored and holds very well. Some good lacing when the heads up.
S: Light coffee and chocolate notes. On the dry side.
T/M: Very dry and chalky with a bit of an aspirin taste. The chocolate outweighs the coffee by a bit and has a powdered chocolate milk mix taste to it. Body is medium full with a decent smoothness.
D: Easy enough to drink but nothing spectacular in the taste department. Too many other porters out there. Thanks for the taste, Shane!

This one must have gotten shuffled around the fridge and was overlooked. But thanks to Tayner for this in a trade a few months back.
A - Brown, cola color. The pour produces a HUGE tan colored head that eventually reduces to a thin layer but never really goes away. Not much in terms of lacing on this one.
S - Mild chocolate smell. Something fruity is present as well (raisins maybe). A deep inhale brings a faint metallic smell.
T - At first it comes of as a little harsh but mellows as it warms. A little sweet taste up front but not from the chocolate, more from the fruits. Also a little smoke coming from the roasted malts.
M - I thought it was a bit thin and over carbonated at first. The carbonation does calm as it warms.
D - In my opinion this beer gets a whole lot better as it warms. As I said earlier my first impression was that it was harsh and not very drinkable, but by the end it is nearly a different beer. Keep that in mind when drinking this one.

Thank you oldirtysurfer for this brew.
Pours deep dark amber...almost black with a full two finger off white head that melts very slowly to a very sticky lacing.
Aromas are all about coffee and chocolate with a touch of alcohol on the tale-end.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth with lots of tiny smooth carbonation.
Taste is all espresso coffee and bittersweet dark chocolate finishing with bitter hops
Your mouth is left with the memory of bittersweet chocolate that becomes nicely drying.
This is a wonderfully satisfying Porter.
Few better.

A: Pours a very dark brown, practically black, with a small tan head on top that fades quickly. Some thin lacing forms on the glass.
S: Some lightly roasted coffee, cream, chocolate, and a little bit of hops.
T: Similar to the aroma with a little bit of coffee and chocolate with a heavier cream component. There is a hint of smoke on the finish.
M: Medium bodied, very smooth and rather creamy.
O: A solid porter. The flavors are good, but I wish they were slightly bolder.

Nearly back and slighty red. Creamy big rose tinted beige head is large and in charge. Straggly lacing and good soapy slick retention. Nose is big in size and heavy with roasty chocolate, coffee. Evenly bittersweet with a milky cream and toffee lightness. A good porter for the nose. Taste is sweet cocoa/dark chocolate initially then turns to a burnt coffee bitterness. Body is medium and mouth is smooth with prickly carbonation. Good drinkability.
