Break out the ball bags and shoes.
Bowling is back on the Outer Banks, and given the upgrades to the old Nags Head Bowling Center by its new owner and new operator, we might call it OBX Bowling 2.0.
Israel Golasa, a local retailer and commercial property owner, purchased the bowling alley after a local bank obtained possession following a court battle over ownership.
Golasa's company, Beach Mart Inc., immediately began searching for an experienced bowling alley operator to reopen the facility.
Elizabeth City businessman Jeff Meads was selected to lease and operate the new bowling center, which will be known as OBX Bowling.
Meads owns Coastal Office Supply in Elizabeth City. He also owns and operates the Albemarle Bowling Center in Elizabeth City and is involved with another bowling center in Williamston.
The alley had been operating under a soft opening for 10 days, with bowling leagues and other groups coming in to assess improvements and make suggestions to the staff.
The first day the alley was open to the public was Feb. 8.
Those familiar with the old Nags Head Bowling Center will notice immediate changes. The outside has been repainted in bright colors with improved visibility from the road.
Shortly, an LED sign emblazoned with the new name will serve as a marquee.
Inside, new lighting, new tables and chairs and a spruced up main counter makes the facility "pop" and come alive.
The grill has been revamped with a new menu and a grill manager. According to Meads, "this will be a place where you can bowl and enjoy the food."
Beer will be available and by May, the alley hopes to have a liquor license.
Long-time patrons may remember summer days with no air conditioning and winter nights with no heat. Those old units have been replaced and bowlers can now enjoy a climate-controlled facility.
The lanes have also seen significant improvements. A $15,000 oiling machine was purchased and lanes will be oiled regularly, a major improvement for league and serious bowlers.
The pinsetters have also been repaired so bowlers will not have to contend with trying to pick up spares with pins placed too close or too far apart.
Meads purchased 12 dozen new house balls to replace the old bowling balls that literally had craters pocking the exterior. Many of the balls are painted in florescent colors to take advantage of the black lights during "Rock n' Bowl" weekends.
A new pool room with three new tables is just waiting for some league action. A brand new kids area features games for the tykes. Many of these games award the children "redemption tickets," and the kid's area has been moved to the north end of the facility so children redeeming prizes will not create logjams with bowlers using the counter to get shoes and pay for games.
Adult games are located near the entrance and include "all the latest and most popular" video and pinball games, according to Meads.
In fact, a pinball league has already been formed to take advantage of the new machines.
All told, the operator and the building owner, in order to make the new bowling center a destination for league and family bowlers, have invested over $225,000 thus far in improvements.
Another new addition will be the music. The center has contracted with a satellite service that specializes in bowling alleys. Players will be able to make song and dedication requests from their cell phones and hear the DJ's play and mention those songs — usually within 20 minutes.
The music can be adapted to the crowd, so, for example, adult leagues have been treated to 70s music.
Weekend "Rock 'n Bowl" with black lighting lanes and glowing bowling balls will return on weekends for the teen crowds, and Meads is exploring adding a live DJ to the mix.
Children's parties will also be offered, and Meads hopes the use of the facility for parties and charitable events will pick up.
Speaking of children, the new "Dragon slide" is already a hit. Abby, who came in with her father to check out the new facility agreed to demonstrate this fun piece of equipment for our readers.
The bowling alley, like all Outer Banks businesses, will require significant local support, especially during January through March to succeed financially.
Less than a decade ago, the Outer Banks sported more league bowlers than any other place in northeastern North Carolina.
Meads is anxious to get those leagues back up to their traditional numbers. Currently, there are leagues on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and none of them are filling up the entire center.
So Meads has two messages for the local audience. First, currently there are open lanes every weeknight for non-league bowlers. Second, he wants to fill those lanes up with league bowlers Monday through Thursday.
He is hoping organized businesses such as the Realtors, Homebuilders and Chamber members will form more leagues and fill the center with much-needed off-season revenue.
Weekends will require locals to support the new business, and in the summer, Meads is making an active effort to reach out to our visitors to use the alley for family activities.
With all of these improvements, prices have gone up only slightly. Locals receive a discount and on weekdays can bowl for $3.75 a game and $4.75 on weekends.
A check of nearby centers reveals these prices are right in line with Elizabeth City and anywhere from a $1.50 to $2 cheaper per game for lanes in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.
When the old alley closed, our readers filled our comment sections with lamentations about losing another local, family recreational opportunity.
The building owner, Israel Golasa and the new operator, Jeff Meads, along with his management team of have put their money at risk in the belief locals wanted to keep this type of entertainment a going concern on the beach.
If they deliver on their end, it's up to us to deliver our votes in the form of patronizing this business.
So polish up those balls, get off that Wii machine and give this new business a whirl.

By Pat Rizzuto
Jan. 9 --The Environmental
Protection Agency must clarify, expand and revise many aspects of its draft
environmental risk assessment of a widely used polycyclic musk fragrance
ingredient before the document can be used for regulatory or other decisions,
an agency peer review panel said Jan. 9.
Seven ecological scientists
met by telephone to critique a draft assessment of
1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-γ-2-benzopyran (HHCB;
CAS 1222-05-5), which the EPA released in January 2013. The agency concluded
the fragrance ingredient posed a low concern for the environment .
peer reviewers said they would compile their recommendations prior to their
final meeting Feb. 6.
The HHCB assessment is part of an initiative the
EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) announced in 2012. That
office is evaluating specific uses of dozens of what it calls "work plan"
chemicals in U.S. commerce .
Six companies made or imported more than
3.1 million pounds of HHCB in 2011, according to information they provided the
EPA under the Chemical Data Reporting rule.
The companies were SC
Johnson & Son Inc., International Flavors& Fragrances Inc., Symrise
Inc., Berje Inc., Firmenich Inc., and a company that told the EPA its name was
confidential business information.
HHCB can be one
of hundreds of chemicals used to make fragrances for detergents, fabric
softeners, shampoos, cleaners and other consumer products, and it is being
released to the environment continuously, the EPA said in information staff presented at the panel's Dec. 4
The draft document is really a draft screening level or hazard
evaluation, not a draft risk assessment, said panel member Duane Huggett, an
associate professor of biological sciences at the University of North Texas,
summarizing a perspective stated by several other peer reviewers.
difference between a screening level assessment and a risk assessment goes to
the types of decisions for which the document could be used.
level assessments can be used to decide a chemical isn't a problem, because
even worst case assumptions found no risk. They also are useful for helping
agencies decide what chemicals warrant additional data or analysis.
Screening level assessments also aren't intended for regulatory decisions
because their rough estimates could result in overly stringent or inadequately
protective regulations.
Peter Chapman, a senior environmental scientist
at the Vancouver-based consulting firm Golder Associates Ltd., was among the
peer reviewers who said the agency's draft environmental risk assessment never
clearly said what its purpose was.
The document didn't include the problem formulation information that
ecological risk assessments are supposed to contain, Chapman said.
problem formulation stage of an ecological assessment is supposed to define
the ecological entity--species, group of species, or ecosystem, for
example--the assessment is intended to protect, the EPA said in a description of that stage.
Robert Gensemer, a vice
president and senior ecotoxicologist with GEI Consultants, said he couldn't be
sure the assessment would meet the agency's needs because it lacked a problem
formulation statement.
Chapman described a variety of analytical
concerns he had with the EPA's analysis.
For example, in some cases the
agency focused on no-observed-adverse-effect-levels (NOAELs) and
lowest-observed-adverse-effect-levels (LOAELs), Chapman said, referring to
concentration levels that caused no or few problems.
Ecological risk
assessments generally do not use those types of concentrations because their
accuracy depends on the concentration of a chemical the researchers used, he
The preferred approach is to use an effect concentration (EC) that
caused some kind of change or problem in 10 percent or perhaps 20 percent of
the animals or plants exposed in a particular test, he said.
Chapman further questioned the agency's use of a
study that found 3.2 milligrams HHCB per kilogram dry weight of sediment
harmed the reproduction of New Zealand mud snails. Those snails are an
invasive species that pose a risk to native species, Chapman said. Tests with
a common algae-eating shell species called hyalella azeca might be more
appropriate, he said.
The EPA also used test data from a marine
copepod, yet the test used was a draft--not final--protocol being developed by
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), he said. "It
may not matter that much, but it should be noted."
Other peer reviewers
asked the agency to be sure to use terms consistently throughout the document,
to clarify the meaning of terms, to provide information so readers could know
what measures researchers took to verify the quality of their data and to

Jack F. Curtis, 82, 717 Green Ave., Stevens Point, a retired university professor, died on Monday, May 13, 2013. He had been residing at North Crest Assisted Living Facility for the past year and was under the care of Ministry Hospice.
A Remembrance Reception is planned for June 15 at Michele's Restaurant from noon until 2 p.m. for friends and family to gather and share memories. A graveside service and burial will take place in Zanesville, Ohio, later this summer.
Donations in his memory can be made to Operation Bootstrap, 5000 Heffron St., Stevens Point, WI 54481.
Boston Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
Mr. Curtis was born Aug. 18, 1930, in Zanesville, Ohio.
He received a bachelor's degree from Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio, a master's degree from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and attended Pennsylvania State University. He received a doctorate in speech and hearing therapy from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1960.
His teaching career began at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich. He moved to Stevens Point in 1970 and began teaching in the Communicative Disorders Department at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where he was considered the department's computer specialist.
Upon his retirement in 1992, he recalled writing successful grants to obtain equipment for a state of the art hearing laboratory and publishing two books.
He had a long association with Krause Publishing in Iola prior to his retirement and began writing "Auction Pulse," a monthly column monitoring the national art and auction market for Today's Collector magazine. He also awarded an annual "Are You Nuts? Award" that went to the strangest collectible nominated (fire hydrants, airline sick bags, etc.).
He served on the board of directors for St. Vincent de Paul, Ministry Lifeline and Operation Bootstrap, where he also volunteered. He also served on various city of Stevens Point committees including Safety, Parks and Recreation, Planning and as a poll worker.
He was married Jane Heath (Huber) in 1956. They later divorced but remained friends throughout their lives.
He was married to Joan M. Honl 24 years ago.
Survivors include his wife, Joan M. Honl, Stevens Point; one daughter, Nancy Lynn (John) McIntyre, Orland Hills, Ill.; two stepdaughters, Laura (Greg) Ouimet, Akron, Ohio, and Mary Overzet, Minneapolis, Minn.; and four grandchildren.

LG is trying to innovate the way you interact with your home appliances. The South Korean electronics giant has joined hands with another company from it's home country, Line Corporation to provide their new HomeChat service. LG has just announced 'HomeChat' service which will enable you you communicate with your smart appliances at home through the Line messaging app.
So, now LG wants you to chat with your appliances and tell them what would you like them to do for you. You can send messages to your microwave ovens, televisions, vacuum cleaners or washing machines and manage your house remotely. The app uses natural language processing, so texting "I'm going on vacation," to your fridge for example, will put it into power-savings mode.
"Always at the forefront of innovation, LG is continually striving to inspire smarter consumer lifestyles in meaningful ways," said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. "We're excited to be able to bring to CES our smart appliances with the newest communication and intelligence capabilities."
Smart Refridgerator and Smart Oven food management:
Through Smart Refrigerator app, consumers can remotely see what's inside the fridge without opening the door, if they are away shopping and it can help them decide on the shopping list. There's also a freshness tracker through which users can input food details and track their expiration dates. It can also suggest what the owners can cook from what is available in the fridge, pretty cool huh?
Similar to Smart Refrigerator, users can chat with their smart oven to take down required ingredients for recommend recipes. The oven will then auto-select the appropriate settings for you.
Auto vacuuming:
The HOM-BOT SQUARE vacuum cleaner can be programmed to clean at definite timings and according to personal preferences of the users. Homeowners can check cleaning log to see when vacuuming was done last time. The vacuum cleaner will then respond via HomeChat: "10:50 started cleaning with zigzag mode; 11:30 completed cleaning with zigzag mode." The movement of the BOT can also be controlled manually using HomeChat.
Smart Washing Machine:
Like the you download updates for your smartphones, up-to-date wash cycles can also be downloaded for smart washing machine according to personal needs. HomeChat can also be used to remotely start a load of laundry, monitor the status of the washer, and receive push alerts via smartphone or LG Smart TV when a wash cycle is completed.

High bandwidth networks and increased storage capacity have enabled the creation of an overwhelming amount of multimedia content. This content can be archived in digital libraries, or it can consist of multiple live streams such as in CDN networks and video surveillance solutions. Add to that the quantity of video created and stored in social media services, and you have a whole new need for efficient search and notification methods.
VTT has created multiple technologies for automating multimedia content analysis and management. Using our solutions, content can be complemented with rich metadata, enabling intelligent searches and quick retrieval of the right content. In the case of streamed videos, these technologies can also provide efficient event-based monitoring services.
VTT content analysis toolbox
VTT Content Analysis Toolbox is a set of algorithms and tools that can be embedded within any content management platform or video streaming service for automatic and rapid extracting of events, metadata or other meaningful information from AV files and streams. The toolbox currently contains the following algorithms:
VTT provides licensing and project-based services for quick implementation of these algorithms in customer platforms and products.
VTT MediaShare - mobile media content management
Mobile devices are a particularly challenging platform for multimedia applications. Small screens and limited interaction methods greatly limit the possibility of creating a fluid and easy-to-use interface. Varying network performance also creates problems for real-time multimedia transmission. And of course mobile phone users don't want to spend a lot of time searching for content or annotating recently created content.
VTT MediaShare is an advanced media content management platform for mobile devices. It contains the following services:
VTT MediaShare also includes VideoSummarizer, a collaborative content co-creation tool. It combines mobile content production, management, analysis and social networking tools into an integrated service. With VideoSummarizer you can create a video summary based on a geographical route, city, event, or combination thereof. The tool locates clusters of videos created by friends, family members, sports club members, Facebook friends etcetera and combines them into a neatly packaged video summary presentation.
VTT provides licensing and project-based services for implementing parts or all of the VTT MediaShare system in customer platforms and products.
Cost effective, faster time-to-market
VTT's multimedia analysis and management solutions help content providers introduce automatic metadata tagging with new and exciting content search and presentation services to their customers, quickly and cost-effectively. With the support of VTT's other research and service offering in the Smart CDN area, we can provide a fresh and broad view of the very competitive CDN market.

Value your time.
I believe you should be paid for everything you do. Your time needs to be rewarded whether you are an actor or a crew member.
Working for free doesn't sit well with me. Nowadays, I won't cast for projects that don't pay for actors or extras.
Everyone should be paid no matter how small the job. Productions are a puzzle, when one piece is missing, it can't work (that well). You are a very important piece in the puzzle!
Value your time.
But…….Sometimes there will be an amazing team & project you will really want to work with. You're all on the same wave length; passion, enthusiasm, creativity…..except no or very little money!
When I was in LA, I met with many casting directors and producers who helped me understand how to negotiate pay for actors and other crew members.
There are two ways to deal with low-pay/unpaid gigs that won't leave you feeling used and abused! Please note; not to be confused with student films.
1) Decline gracefully:
"Your (X PROJECT) sounds amazing (I love A,B & C). I hope you're not insulted but I am only taking paid work at this time. Thank you so much for thinking of me, I'm really flattered. Best of luck with your (X PROJECT)!"
2) Negotiate either ONE of the following; pay, credit OR share:
- PAY: There is always room for negotiation when there is money in the budget. Don't be afraid to negotiate. People are just as afraid to say no to your negotiation than you are afraid to ask!
- CREDIT: If you aren't getting paid or you're getting very low pay; negotiate your credit to Associate Producer or Executive Producer. Negotiate the contract to have those credits. In saying this, you don't take on more work. Be firm and clear in your contract.
- SHARE: aka Investment. Negotiate your share in the production. Initiate a contract where if FILM makes X earnings you make X% of earnings.
Don't go crazy negotiating all of the above. Use one of these techniques and think carefully about which one is most relevant for the gig you're offered. Then..If you can't increase pay then try negotiating credit etc. Don't put them all on the table at once. It's like any business deal.
At the end of the day, if you want people to value your time, YOU have to put a value on it!
Let's create a positive change where everyone can share equal value. It' starts with you.
As always, I'd love to hear your take on this. Scroll down and write your comments now!

There are groups that the snow blower parts can be divided into, from the engine, blower and drive systems to the chassis components, controls and optional parts. Large snow blower parts, such as the auger, are often used in conjunction with small parts, such as a bearing. These parts can create a system that offers the user a dependable and reliable snow blower.
One of the most notable of all the snow blower parts is the main chassis. This consists of the metal framework that all of the other components are attached to. On top of the chassis is the engine. Most snow blowers use a gasoline engine to power the machine through the snows of winter. The engine is actually a collection of snow blower parts, including the fuel tank, carburetor and the drive pulleys; working in unison, the engine parts group provides the power for the movement and removal of the snow.
Mounted inside of the chassis is the drive system, a collection of snow blower parts that includes the drive axle, clutches and drive belts. All of these parts are designed to receive mechanical power from the engine via the drive belts. Some snow blowers incorporate a power steering system that is controlled by squeeze levers mounted on the handle bars. The handle bars are attached to the chassis and provide a means of controlling the unit. Gear selectors, throttle controls and the snow blower clutch are all located on the handlebar unit and place the operating controls in easy reach of the user.
At the front of the chassis is the snow intake scoop and auger system. Shaped much like a large funnel, the intake scoop protrudes out and away from the chassis so that is can be plunged into the snow. Inside the scoop and mounted horizontally is the intake auger. The auger is driven by a belt running off of the transmission and pulls snow into the scoop as well as breaks up hardened snow so that it can be blown away. The snow is fed into the blower unit by the auger, as well as by the continuing forward motion of the machine as it travels along its directed path.
The blower unit is unique to two-stage snow blowers and consists of a paddle mechanism that is driven off of the engine. As the augers push the snow into the blower unit, the snow is directed up and out of the machine through the blower chute. Other snow blower parts, such as the chute control lever and the flap control, are used to direct the blown snow both up and down as well as left and right.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Press Release #10-040
Winning artworks by St. Mary's College of Maryland students will be on public display at the 41st Annual Student Art Show beginning Monday, March 22, and running through April 9, 2010, in the College's Boyden Gallery in Montgomery Hall. The art, representing a variety of mediums, was judged by SMCM alumna Jayme A. McLellan, director and founder of Civilian Art Projects, a gallery in Washington D.C. The opening reception will be at 4:30 p.m. March 22. The show is free and open to the public. Hours of operation for the gallery are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information, contact the gallery at (240)-895-4246.
McLellan founded Civilian Art Projects in 2006 as a gallery that represents and supports emerging artists. In addition to directing the gallery, she teaches at the Corcoran College of Art & Design. McLellan also has served as director of development for the District of Columbia Arts Center (DCAC) and most recently as assistant curator for the international traveling exhibition DARFUR/DARFUR. She currently serves on the executive committee for the D.C. Chapter of ArtTable, a professional women's leadership association in the arts. McLellan also serves on the advisory council for Transformer and Artworks Projects, an organization dedicated to using design and the arts to raise awareness and educate the public about significant human rights and environmental issues.
McLellan will give four Outstanding Studio Art juror awards to students from each class year. Other prizes include the Patti Runco Arts Alliance Purchase Award for Outstanding Work in the Annual Student Show, and the PNC Bank Award; that winner will be displayed at the PNC Bank in Leonardtown along with other student works chosen by the bank.
St. Mary's College of Maryland, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, Kiplinger's, and The Princeton Review. Founded in 1840 as Maryland's "monument school" commemorating the state's first capital, SMCM is the state's only public honors college.
More than 2,000 students attend the college, which has the highest graduation rate for all Maryland public colleges and universities. The school's waterfront campus along the St. Mary's River in Southern Maryland is home to the 2009 National Intercollegiate Sailing Association Co-ed champions.

Lady - Thomas Tryon Horror Book Review
Horror books Review
I was originally drawn to this book because the synopsis sounded intriguing and suspenseful. My husband informed me that the author had written another book called, "The Other", which was turned into a 70's horror film. Based on these circumstances, I decided to try "Lady", only to find it boring, not suspenseful in the least, and very dated. The "terrible secret" (which I will not give away) leads you to believe that there is some supernatural tale involved, when in fact, it is a dated, uninteresting "surprise" that has no bearing on the story. It seemed like everyone else who reviewed this book loved it, so I had to write at least one review to the contrary. I had an EXTREMELY difficult time finishing it, and struggled through it just to say I finished it. I found it the "Secret" very anti-climactic and pointless, and the synopsis on the back of the book very misleading.

Appliance and consumer electronics retailer Best Buy Co. released results from its proprietary Our World, Connected study, including the finding that 64% of consumers agree that technology brings families closer together.
But that doesn't mean consumers are perfectly satisfied with the connected technology that's being offered them. 89% of consumers believe that consumer electronics companies should use more consumer feedback to influence innovation.
Best Buy said it is people, not technology, that are re-defining what it means to "connect." More than 85% of consumers say they are optimistic about the experiences that technology products can enable in their lives.
But most people are still frustrated by technology, with better than 6 in 10 consumers reporting that they have a hard time keeping up with technology changes. Consumers feel the consumer electronics companies have the responsibility to help people bridge the connection gap.

Jekyll & Hyde is a Broadway musical based on the novel, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The original stage conception was by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn. The music was composed by Wildhorn and the lyrics were written by Leslie Bricusse.
The show opened on Broadway on April 28, 1997. There were 44 preview performances starting on March 21. The show ran for 1,543 regular performances, closing on January 7, 2001 and is the longest-running show in the history of the Plymouth Theatre.
Note: Three versions of Jekyll & Hyde have been recorded. The first was a concept album recorded in 1990 featuring Colm Wilkinson as Jekyll/Hyde and Linda Eder singing both Lucy and Lisa (Jekyll's fiancée, later renamed to Emma). The second was released prior to the first national tour of Jekyll in 1994, featuring Anthony Warlow as Jekyll/Hyde, Linda Eder as Lucy, and Carolee Carmello as Lisa. The final recording is from the Broadway production. It features Robert Cuccioli as Jekyll/Hyde, Linda Eder as Lucy and Christiane Noll as Emma.
The central theme of the show remains intact, but many of the songs have been altered, cut and/or replaced between the different versions. The following synopsis is from a script that uses parts of each.
The show opens with Jekyll's voice saying, "In each of us there are two natures. If this primitive duality of man: good and evil, could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that is unbearable. It is the curse of mankind that these polar twins should be constantly struggling." His lawyer and best friend John Utterson is introduced, speaking of past events concerning Doctor Jekyll.
Next, Jekyll is seen in an insane asylum singing over a comatose body revealed to be his father ("Lost in the Darkness"). It is Jekyll's belief that the evil in his father's soul has caused his illness. Jekyll sings about his passion to find out why man is both good and evil and his attempts to separate the good from the evil ("I Need to Know").
Leaving the hospital, the rich and poor of 19th century London describe how people act how they want others to see them, no matter who they really are inside ("Facade"). Afterwards, Jekyll presents a research proposal to the Board of Governors of St. Jude's Hospital: the Bishop of Basingstoke, General Lord Glossop, Lady Beaconsfield, Sir Archibald Proops, Lord Savage, and Sir Danvers Carew. All, with the exception of Danvers, are pompous, rich hypocrites. They reject Jekyll's proposal to experiment on a living human with cries of "blasphemy, heresy, and lunacy," voting five to none with Sir Danvers' one abstention ("Board of Governors").
The next scene takes place at Danvers' home, where he is holding an engagement party for his daughter Emma's engagement to Doctor Jekyll ("Facade Reprise"). The toast of society turns up, including the Board of Governors and Simon Stride, Jekyll's rival for Emma's affections. Stride speaks to Emma and tries to reason her out of her engagement, but she quickly turns him down. Jekyll (late as usual) arrives to the party just as everyone is leaving. He and Emma share a moment ("Take Me as I Am"). Danvers returns as Jekyll leaves, and expresses to Emma that he likes Jekyll but finds it difficult to tolerate his behavior ("Letting Go").
Jekyll and Utterson go to the dingy Red Rat pub (The Dregs in some versions) for Jekyll's bachelor party. They watch as a beautiful prostitute, Lucy Harris, sings and dances ("Bring on the Men" - replaced with "Good 'n' Evil" in the Broadway version). After the show, Utterson is lead away by another prostitute and Lucy and Jekyll have a drink together ("Here's to the Night"). Just as they are about to kiss, Utterson returns, and he and Jekyll leave. Jekyll gives Lucy his visiting card.
As Utterson and Jekyll return to the upper-class part of town, Utterson notices that Jekyll is in a better mood. Jekyll informs him that he has found a subject for his experiments. Utterson recommends Jekyll to go straight to bed.
Ignoring his friend's advice, Jekyll proceeds to his lab ("This is the Moment"). Mixing his chemicals, he creates formula HJ7 and drinks it. After a few moments, he transforms into a hideous beast of a man ("Transformation"). He goes out and roams the streets, drinking in the sights and sounds of London, including an encounter with Lucy. He names himself Edward Hyde ("Alive").
A week later no one has heard anything from Jekyll. Emma and Utterson ask Jekyll's butler Poole where he is. After Emma leaves, Poole tells Utterson that Jekyll has been locked in his lab all this time. Jekyll emerges demanding Poole to fetch some chemicals for him. Utterson confronts him asking him what he's been up to ("His Work and Nothing More").
Visitng card in hand, Lucy arrives at Jekyll's house with a nasty bruise on her back. As Jekyll treats it, she tells him a man named Hyde did it. Jekyll is stunned by this revelation but hides it. Obviously in love with him, Lucy kisses Jekyll ("Sympathy, Tenderness"). Disturbed by his own actions, Jekyll leaves Lucy, who sings about her love for him ("Someone Like You"). Later, the Bishop of Basingstoke is seen walking down the street with a prostitute. When she leaves, Hyde appears and beats the bishop to death with his cane ("Alive - Reprise"), ending Act I.
Act II begins with the people of London discussing latest news headline: the bishop's murder. At his funeral, General Glossop and Lord Savage leave the church making snide remarks about their deceased colleague. Hyde appears again and stabs Glossop while Savage runs for his life. After Londoners begin discussing the second murder, Jekyll is seen accosting the apothecary for more chemicals. Later Savage, Sir Proops, and Lady Beaconsfield drunkenly leave a charity dinner, commenting on their disgust for the lower classes. Once again Hyde shows up, stabbing Proops and snapping Lady Beaconsfield's neck while Savage makes another miraculous escape. The city reacts to the third and fourth murders, and Danvers meets Lord Savage at the train station. Savage says he's leaving for his own safety. Danvers returns home, and Hyde returns one last time, breaking Savage's neck and throwing him onto the train tracks ("Murder, Murder").
After, Emma finds Jekyll distraught and moody in his lab. She professes her love for him and asks him to confide in her ("Once Upon a Dream"). She leaves, and Jekyll begins to face the fact that Hyde is a part of him ("Obsession"). Lucy and Emma then sing a duet about their love for the same man ("In His Eyes"). The setting returns to the Red Rat where Lucy is visited by a very possessive Hyde, who seems to have some sort of animalistic control over her ("Dangerous Game").
Utterson comes looking for Jekyll in his lab only to discover Hyde. Hyde drinks the formula and transforms back into Jekyll. He tells Utterson that he can destroy Hyde if he can get more chemicals. Utterson leaves to get them and Jekyll steels himself for the coming task ("Angst 2").
Utterson visits Lucy at the Red Rat with money and a letter from Jekyll begging her to leave town and start a new life elsewhere. After Utterson leaves, Lucy sings about the possibilities ahead ("A New Life"). Just then Hyde returns and, seeing the letter from Jekyll, slowly and savagely kills Lucy to a reprise of ("Sympathy, Tenderness") sung by Hyde. A sudden transformation occurs and Jekyll must face what he has done as Hyde.
Covered in gore, Jekyll returns to his laboratory and faces off with Hyde in a final battle, where only one can survive ("Confrontation").
Jekyll apparently has won, as several weeks later, Jekyll and Emma stand before the priest at their wedding. Just as Jekyll is about to say "I do," Hyde emerges, killing Stride and taking Emma hostage. At the sound of Emma's voice, Jekyll is able to take control. He begs Utterson to kill him. Finally, Utterson shoots him, and the show closes with Emma weeping over Jekyll's dead body.

Morrison University has offered quality, business-related education and training since 1902. The School was founded by A.F. Atkinson as the Nevada Business Institute. The original campus was located at the southwest corner of Sierra and Walnut (6th) Streets. Heald's Business College of California purchased the Nevada Business Institute in August of 1907 and began offering classes that fall. The College emphasized individual instruction and students could take classes in different fields.
A fire swept through the College in 1945, and it was remodeled into a modern business school in 1949. Don S. Thompson, a Nevada native, purchased Reno Business College in 1964. In 1969, he moved the College to the corner of Wells Avenue and Wonder Street. MJM Colleges, Inc. and Mary Morrison (who remained president of the university until 2003) purchased Reno Business College in 1979. In 1984, the College was relocated to 140 Washington Street.
Today Morrison University offers Business Administration programs from Associate level through Masters, Allied Health and Information Technology programs from diploma through Bachelor degrees. By training career-focused business and health professionals, Morrison University is dedicated to making sure that students who come prepared to learn will leave prepared to succeed.
According to the Nevada Workforce Informer, the professional and business service industry is one of the few industries in Nevada that has seen growth in recent years. Moving forward, careers related to accounting, management and computer information are expected to see long-term growth in the Reno-Sparks metro area. This includes growth for Computer Support Specialists and Computer Systems Analysts, as well as Bill and Account Collectors and Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks.
In addition, management occupations, including General and Operations Managers and Sales Managers, are expected to be in high-demand in the Reno area. General and Operations Managers also have the top spot on Nevada's Top 50 Demand Occupations list for 1994-2010, with 538 average annual job openings in Nevada.
Morrison University is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).

removal of exposed citrus trees because a judge stopped tree removal in response to homeowner lawsuits using standards in effect at the time. Homeowners were opposed to removal of trees that were not infected without evidence that they could be sources of inoculum. During the moratorium, the bacteria quickly spread and additional sites were discovered in southwest Florida. During this 12-month study period, the 1,900 ft rule (580 meter radius) was created which expanded the quarantine to 129,500 h (500 mi2) with a program budget of $9.5 million. By 2000, the Persian lime industry in south Florida had been destroyed (Schubert et al., 2001).
2004: The three hurricanes and a tropical storm that crossed the Florida peninsula dispersed the pathogen even further across the state (Irey et al., 2006a; Gottwald and Irey, 2007); resulting in the establishment of new infections at substantial distances from the known existing infections. Survey and eradication efforts by the FDACS and USDA-APHIS became even more intense to eliminate new outbreaks before the next hurricane season.
The FDACS and USDA-APHIS simultaneously employed the following survey protocols: the sentinel grove survey (based on sentinel commercial blocks of susceptible cultivars), the targeted grove survey (based on meteorological data that used a GIS-weather model to predict the direction of disease spread due to hurricanes), the delimiting grove survey (which was performed once new infections were discovered) and the self survey (performed by the grower). Production managers and other workers that are in contact with commercial citrus on a daily basis were trained by a joint University of Florida and FDACS-DPI program to search for, recognize, and report suspicious symptoms to FDACS-DPI or USDA-APHIS inspectors for confirmation.
Not all citrus canker-infected trees detected in 2004 had been removed by the time the first hurricane (Hurricane Wilma) hit the Florida peninsula in October 2005. Of the 80,000 acres of commercial citrus identified as affected after the 2004 season, 32,000 acres remained even with the removal of 120,000 trees per week. It was estimated that an additional 168,000 to 220,000 acres of commercial citrus would have to be destroyed after the 2005 hurricane season under the 1900-foot protocol. At this point in time, the annual federal appropriation to maintain the program was $36 million. Eradication costs significantly increased from $10 million in 1996 to $50 million in 1999. In 2000, program costs escalated to $145 million. A panel of USDA scientists and global experts in citrus diseases conferred and concluded that the disease was now so widely distributed that eradication was not feasible.
On January 11, 2006 the USDA issued a press release stating that it would discontinue all efforts to eradicate canker. Subsequently, the Florida House of Representatives decided to halt the eradication campaign and repeal the 1900-foot protocol on May 3, 2006. However, because of the value of the fresh fruit industry and not every citrus production area in Florida was severely infected, there was still considerable support from the production industry to continue with a revised management program. Hence, the concept of a State-Federal-Commercial Industry Citrus Health Response Plan was launched. It is based on best management practices, living with the disease while minimizing production losses, and the implementation of a quarantine that prohibits the movement of fruit from known-infected areas of the state to non-infected areas and to other citrus-producing states. This plan has evolved into a National program, the Citrus Health Response Program, and is administered by the USDA-APHIS. USDA-APHIS has recently lifted the quarantine on Florida fresh fruit after findings that commercial fruit is not an important means of spread of the disease, thus allowing growers more flexibility in marketing their fruit.
