One of the main events is a Media Welcome Event on Saturday, September 1 at the NC Music Factory. Organizers expect 15,000 members of the media to attend.

Fifteen thousand media at the Music Factory on Saturday to get this media party kicked off and we look forward to sharing a good time and getting this convention started.
All 14 venues at the NC Music Factory will be used for the event.
It's the first time anyone has actually ever done this, Lazes said.
It is a private event until 10 p.m. After that, the entire venue opens to the public.

MNN's week in review: Amazing microscopic images and fuel-efficient cars
Catch up on the latest, off-beat environmental news from the Mother Nature Network.
Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 05:01 PM
• Who knew pollen could be so beautiful? That's just one of the surprises from this collection of everyday things seen really close up.
• Are over-the-counter pain medicines merely hiding something your body is trying to tell you? Blogger Starre Vartan shares her thoughts (and pill aversions.)
• Birds are some of the most adaptable animals on Earth, finding ways to survive in a variety of habitats on all seven continents. But since humans rarely take time to sing their praises, here's a graphical tribute to the impressive achievements of our avian neighbors.
• Why do pet rescuers ask such nosy questions? Our pet expert explains why these groups feel comfortable going where even your closest friend might fear to tread.
• If you are fascinated by riddles and unsolved codes, take a look at this collection of the biggest unsolved mysteries.
• How should you fight high fuel prices? Buy the most fuel-efficient car, says auto blogger Jim Motavalli. He offers 36 options in a variety of car categories.
• The health benefits for the Mediterranean diet are well-known, but our food blogger wonders if the modern craze is a true representation of the traditional diet.
• Mallorca is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, an autonomous region that sits in the Mediterranean off the Iberian coastline. The region is one of Europe's most popular beach destinations, but the island has managed to maintain a natural side, making it an ideal destination for eco-travelers.
• A new study shows Alberta's oil sands are nowhere near as polluting as coal — but those aren't our only energy choices, says clean tech blogger Chris Turner. He asks: isn't it time we started relying on these market-ready substitutes?
• You may be enjoying the mild winter temperatures, but there's a double-whammy effect: Allergies are getting an early start at the same time the flu has kicked into high gear.
• Ever wonder why public schools don't serve much soup? Food blogger Robin Shreeves digs into another example of fuzzy math.
Plus: If the image above is making you pine for the '80s, you're not alone. Even the scientists at NASA were quick to make the video game connection, naming this week's partial eclipse the 'Pac Man sun.' Have a great week.

We're only implementing the Supreme Court ruling: Auradkar
Apart from keeping close watch on the dance bars and discotheques, the city police have also trained their guns on the pubs, lounge bars and clubs that play loud music after 10 p.m.
Patrol vehicles and night beat policemen have been instructed to keep an "ear" on the loud music and immediately inform the control room.
Justifying the curbs on playing loud music, City Police Commissioner Raghavendra H. Auradkar said the police were only implementing the Supreme Court ruling that banned loud music in open spaces after 10 p.m. "We have already sent notices to many bars warning them against playing music after 10 p.m., and have asked the jurisdictional police to take strict action if anyone is found violating the rule," he said.
Though many objected to the new rule, Mr. Auradhkar said that the implementation of the rule had been initiated based on a complaints to the control room. Hundreds of complaints are being made by people, especially senior citizens and women, against blaring music that is disturbing the neighbourhood.
"You can play music in your house or at work place, but this should not disturb the neighbours," he said. Maintaining law and order was the prime focus of the police and they ensured that no one created nuisance in public, he said.
Keep it down at home
"Anyone playing music inside his or her house will be booked if the neighbours file a complaint. Technically speaking, be it a pub, bar, restaurant or a house, indoor music should not exceed the prescribed decibels," Mr. Auradkar said.
Meanwhile, a few pub owners said they had a meeting with the Police Commissioner, who assured them that establishments that played music within prescribed decibel levels would not be affected.

The Casio FH100 does a great job for stroke analysis. It has MANUAL shutter speed control down to 1/40,000 sec shutter speed to minimize motion blur (= see the ball on the racket strings). I am not certain but I believe there are currently no other affordable high speed video cameras being offered with MANUAL exposure control, they are all AUTO exposure. Motion blur is is not minimized by cameras with AUTO exposure control.
The FH100 also has small Jello Effect distortions based on some Jello Effect tests that I have done. See Jello Effect videos -
For the above HSV cameras the Jello Effect should be measured if accurate videos are needed for stroke analysis. Also, the recording time for high speed video needs to be determined as some HSV cameras only record for a few seconds.
Unfortunately, I believe that the Casio FH100 is no longer manufactured so you may have to search for a new one still in stock or buy a used one.
The FH100 will only record to a maximum video file size of 4 Gb (17+ minutes for HD). To record longer, for example, on a 32 Gb SD card, the camera must be retriggered. For 240 fps with corresponding low resolution the FH100 will record almost 11 minutes.
To record an entire match in HD there are other cameras that will do better than the Casio FH100 but for stroke analysis the FH100 is exceptional. The Casio F1(
), FH20 and FH25 also have MANUAL exposure control for HSV.
Toly asked about analysis software. Kinovea is free, open source analysis software that allows comparison of videos side-by-side as often seen in golf swing comparisons.
Can you shoot 120 fps in wide screen with that camera? I found these vids showing slo mo in a wide format compared to 4:3 ratio in other vids from the FH100....
...or was it maybe cropped into a wider format in another program before being put on YT?
I'm starting to think maybe a hi speed cam like the FH100 for stroke analysis AND a camcorder for taping match play is the best way to go....

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the Publisher
"Each chapter lays out the key concepts, key terms, review questions AND critical thinking. These are all important but the critical thinking is an area often overlooked."
"I see this as a textbook that my students will actually read. A user-friendly text that would be suitable for freshman/sophomore college students. Although concise, I feel it still gives an adequately thorough discussion of key important topics for an introductory agronomy course. I really enjoy the author's writing style and approach in discussing topics. I appreciate the way the author takes complex topics and organizes the material so that the difficult concepts can be more easily understood."

A summer of love, fear and coming of age is what first time author John Cother will discuss Wednesday in his novel A Fear of Spiders during Luncheon With Books at the Bryan Public Library.
Cother discovered a love of writing at the age of six, and after 33 years as an educator, he has finally put his words down in a book that takes readers on an adventure with a brother and sister, JT and Lesi, determined to find answers about their family and themselves.
Cother said he always had admiration and love for children when he was a school principal and is how the two main characters were developed. As parents read the book, he said, they will understand what the characters are going through and the book may even be a reflection of their children.
ŌĆ£As a father myself, I think parents may well see their own teens in JT and Lesi, and although they are wonderfully unique, in many ways they represent 'everyteen',ŌĆØ Cother said. ŌĆ£Looking back at my career in public education, the resiliency and tenacity of teens stand out above everything else. JT and Lesi personify those admirable traits as they face more challenges in one unbelievable summer than most do in a lifetime.ŌĆØ
Set in the 1960s, JT and Lesi face many struggles, including being attacked by an intruder while they were left alone at their aunt's house, where they had to live after their father abandoned them and their troubled mother passed away. Like so many of today's children who don't have parents, JT and Lesi stay by each other's side through the ups and downs and find the meaning of their lives.
Cother said although parents and others who read the book may enjoy the plot that takes readers back to the music and culture of the 1960s, this book is designed for everyone.
ŌĆ£This is a timeless story of good (versus) evil, bad things happening to good people and family love, loyalty and cohesiveness,ŌĆØ Cother said. ŌĆ£It's all about the trials, tribulations and celebrations that accompany the coming-of-age.ŌĆØ
Being surrounded by young children and teens from different walks of life for over 30 years more than qualified Cother to write Fear of Spiders, he said.
ŌĆ£Facing every issue of teens and children from the benign, to the complex, to the life-and-death issues, I immersed myself into developing rapport with and understanding of students,ŌĆØ Cother said. ŌĆ£The principal's position represented a mission for me and not merely a job.ŌĆØ
Cother is the second guest in September for Luncheon with Books. This event is set monthly at the Bryan Public Library at noon, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

Corvette museum likely to keep part of sinkhole
More News from Associated Press
A massive sinkhole that swallowed eight cars at the National Corvette Museum in the US has become such a popular attraction that officials want to preserve it. They may even put one or two of the crumpled cars back inside the hole.
The board of the museum in Kentucky voted Wednesday to preserve a large section of the sinkhole that opened beneath the museum in February.
The damaged cars toppled like toys amid rocks, concrete and dirt. The cars carry a total value believed to exceed $1 million. The cars were eventually pulled out of the giant hole to great fanfare.
Museum officials say attendance is up nearly 60 percent from March to the start of this week. The museum sells sinkhole-related shirts, post cards and prints.
The museum struggled in prior years to keep its doors open, museum officials said.
The cars that took the plunge were a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette, a 1962 black Corvette, a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette, a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil and a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette.

Recent Bailey Reviews
The most amazing vacation...ever!
This vacation was perfect in every way. I would give it ten stars if I could! I went with my family and stayed at this luxurious house for four nights and it wasn't long enough...we did not want to leave! When we first arrived at the house it was absolutely breathtaking. The views were simply amazing and unlike anything we have ever seen. The house was perfect and extremely well taken care of. We were greeted in such a friendly manner and were given a tour right away. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. The description from the website was completely accurate, however, you really have to see it to believe just how beautiful this house and location really is. You can tell that the homeowner really takes pride in his house. Bailey, CO. is a perfect location and we were able to visit other cities without any problem. It is roughly an hour away from everything, which was not a problem at all because the drives were gorgeous. I would recommend this property over and over again! This by far was the best vacation we as a family have ever had. Thank you so much for allowing us to go into your home and enjoy a vacation like this. I can't wait to go back!

Love me any Rougelikes! Lets hope you can add a whole heap of depth to this title!
Through is an RPG with a focus on tactical combat and resource management. It is heavily inspired by other Roguelikes. However, Through carries some key differences. There is a large focus on accessibility and ease of use as well as simplicity and transparent design (for instance, your character only has a Strength and Intelligence stat). If you're looking for a deep RPG system thats easy to pick-up and play but difficult to master, give Through a shot.

Go to the downloads section to play an early build of the game!
Posted by porousnapkin on Oct 5th, 2010
I put up an early-ish build of the game. I'm not ready to call it v1.0 yet, but getting really close. Still a few loose ends to tie up.
I'll consider the game at v1.0 when it has all the content originally planned. Then I plan to continue adding features beyond that addressing some gameplay and graphical concerns that have come up during development. More info as it comes.
Love me any Rougelikes! Lets hope you can add a whole heap of depth to this title!
Nice! I always try to play some ASCII roguelikes but I always have trouble telling what the hell is going on on my screen. I think you did a great job of using representative pixelated graphics that leave enough room for the player's imagination.
Really good job! Also through you I found the beautiful tile sets of those artists. :D I'm curious what language and graphics API you used to do this. Was it XNA or perhaps SDL?
It was programmed in C++. I used OpenGL for graphics and FMod for sound. I sort of built everything from scratch, something I don't intend to do again, but it was a fantastic learning experience.
Wow! This game is fantastic! I've never played any roguelikes, but I love the artistic style and the music in this game! I am completely in love with it! One of the best games I've played in a very long time.
There are some problems. When I click on the inventory with my mouse it doesn't open. Same with the map and special abilities. Also I can't drag items onto the quickbar. And some items don't have any description. There's one specifically that I have no idea what it does. It almost looks like a nail file or something.
Thanks very much for the bug report, Mizra. I'll try and get all those addressed in the next version. I think the mouse clicking buttons not working is due to a bug that makes my positions go wrong at different screen resolutions, so that should be an easy fix. The "Nail File" you are describing is probably the Whetstone. You can use it on weapons to make them more powerful (+1, +2, +3, etc.). However, I think it currently also has a bug causing the game to forget you've used it on subsequent floors. Also, I totally believe I forgot to give it a description. I rarely look at my descriptions so that's an easy thing for me to miss. Thanks again for the bug report.
Glad to test it. Yours is my favorite of all of the Oryx tile and character set roguelikes. I'll play the updated version and let you know if I find any more bugs.
Nice game,I really like the style!
Awesome game! I love the old school look of it, some of the best games were simple, I'm not a big fan of the 3D crap or the smooth Flash style 2D games. Guess I'm a sucker for the old 8-bit/16-bit styles

Although marked by many procedural irregularities, the implementation of NREGA in Villupuram shows some real achievements.
Intriguing findings have started emerging from the social audit of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) in Villupuram district (Tamil Nadu), launched on July 26. Viewed from the district headquarters, the programme is in the pink of health. Whether one enquires about job cards or employment levels or wage payments, the latest data are available from neat computer printouts and also posted on the Internet. While the programme was at a virtual standstill last year, in 2006-07, employment generation has surged during the last few months. The average job card holder in Villupuram has already been employed for nearly 25 days since April 1, 2007, compared with just about two days for the same period last year. Nearly 70 per cent of all rural households in the district have a job card.
Field visits, however, present a more complex picture. In terms of the procedural aspects of the programme, there is a good deal of confusion if not chaos. When one of the social audit teams reached Poiarasur village (Thiruvennainallur block) on July 29, it found that job cards had been distributed that very morning — just a few hours before the team arrived. Further, entries had been made in these job cards for months that preceded their issue, in a frantic attempt to ensure that they matched the "muster rolls." This hurried window-dressing operation was not without glitches; in some job cards, whitener had been used to erase mistaken entries and replace them with "correct" entries.
There are many other procedural irregularities, big and small. The process of work application and demand-driven employment is non-existent in Villupuram: work is provided in a proactive manner by the administration and people are asked to report for employment as and when it is available. Since there is far too little employment compared to the potential demand, work is "rationed" in various ways. Only one household member is allowed to work at any given point of time, in violation of the Act. Worse, NREGA employment is "rotated" between different wards (three wards in the case of Poiarasur).
As it turns out, the wards are inhabited by different caste groups, so that employment is effectively segregated by caste, defeating an important purpose of the Act — breaking traditional social barriers and fostering class solidarity among labourers. Instead of contributing to social inclusion, NREGA in Villupuram is in danger of solidifying social divisions.
Other serious issues emerging from the social audit include low productivity levels, inadequate worksite facilities, and lack of transparency.
Having said this, the implementation of NREGA in Villupuram shows some real achievements. As mentioned earlier, employment levels have shot up, and work was available on a substantial scale in almost every gram panchayat during the last few months. Most workers are earning the full minimum wage of Rs. 80 a day, that too within 15 days (or even one week) of the work being done, as mandated under the Act. In house after house, workers express great happiness with these new opportunities, and a keen hope that the programme will continue for many years.
NREGA also holds the promise of bringing major changes in the lives of women. More than 80 per cent of NREGA workers in Villupuram (or for that matter in Tamil Nadu as a whole) are women. As agricultural labourers, they earn a paltry Rs. 30 a day for four to five hours of back-breaking work. Today, they are earning the full minimum wage of Rs. 80 a day on NREGA.
As Maheshwari of Poiarasur put it: "When we work as agricultural labourers, we earn thirty rupees every day but it doesn't seem to get us anywhere. Since we started working on NREGA, we have been earning Rs. 400 at the end of the week — for the first time we are able to save." She has set some of her earnings aside in anticipation of her daughter's delivery, due any time. Krishnaveni of Chinnanerikuppam village (Mailam block) has a similar story to tell. "Now we have the confidence to take loans," she said, "because we know that we will be able to repay." For the first time in her life, she has started contributing to a chit fund.

After a 60-game winning streak that spanned five seasons, the Madison Mustangs' reign over the Ironman Football League is over.
The Wauwatosa Spartans (11-1) shut out the four-time defending champion Mustangs (11-1) 23-0 in Iron Bowl XVI on Sept. 8 at Hart Park to secure the franchise's first Ironman Football League championship.
Tosa relied on the same core components it used all season: a power running game coupled with an attacking defense. The Spartans ground out 275 yards on offense - 200 on the ground - and controlled the clock all night, getting rushing touchdowns from running backs Bobby Windom and Jaimie Marton, as well as quarterback Tony Henner. The offense also had no turnovers.
"Turnovers killed us the first time we played them this season, but we weren't going to let them derail us this time," said Spartans coach Jordan Kopac. Madison pulled out a last-minute 28-24 win over the Spartans in Middleton during the IFL regular season, thanks in large part to five Spartans turnovers.
The Spartans defense held the Mustangs to just 31 offensive plays and only 129 total yards. They also forced three interceptions, one each by linebackers Kevin Morris and Eric Zilisch and one by cornerback Jordan Cosby.
Tosa must now decide which national postseason tournament to accept an invitation from, with invitations already having come from the Mid-States Tournament and the Midwest Tournament.

I have been hearing a lot of horror stories from playwrights lately about their bad experiences with directors.
Much like Salieri in Amadeus, could the fear of mediocrity scare artists into panic mode which then leads to destructive behavior? True, artists make rash decisions all the time-I have heard stories about maverick playwrights such as Sam Sheppard who allegedly pulled a production of "True West" due to the bold casting choice of two women instead of two men; or Lee Blessing allegedly pulling a production of "Chesapeake" (which I directed the West Coast Premiere of) due to the mediocre reviews it received at NY Stage and Film where it premiered. Does the playwright have the power and the right to do such things? Yes. Can the power be misused or abused? Absolutely.
So what determines the professional (or unprofessional) behavior of an artist? I think it has a lot to do with their early training combined with their experience and a little bit of upbringing thrown in. My early theatre training began at the Mark Taper Forum where my very first assignment as an intern was on the writing workshop of Pulitzer Prize winning "Angels In America, Part II-Perestroika" by Tony Kushner. The gospel according to the Taper staff was to honor and respect the playwright above all others. Tony Kushner was a bit of an unknown writer at the time, but the respect for him in the room was enormous. He sat in on every rehearsal, and in some cases had been developing the play with the same actors, such as Ellen McLaughlin and Stephen Spinella, for years. Despite the two award winning and critically acclaimed directors in the room, Tony Taccone and Oscar Eustis, the writer truly had final say and it was clear that the workshop was for his benefit. This early training built the foundation for which I have developed new work for over fifteen years.
"Angels..." was one of the first new plays that I watched a playwright develop in a rehearsal room with the help of an artistic team of actors, directors, producers and dramaturges. Since then, I have worked on several new plays and have watched some of the best Regional Theatre artists interact with each other. Playwrights such as Tony Kushner, Peter Parnell, Alice Tuan, Han Ong, Jon Bastian, Tim Toyama and John DiFusco among others. Although my experience working with playwrights has spanned over seventeen years, the playwright/director relationship still eludes me. Has anyone read the book How to Get Along With An Over Dramatic, Controlling, A Personality Director? Or how about What To Do When A Playwright Really Wants To Direct? No such luck. Rule books on these types of things just don't exist. I am afraid that we must rely on our experience to be our only guide.
What is the protocol when it comes to the playwright/director relationship? Although there has never been an official rule book written, here are some thoughts that might make the production experience a lot more enjoyable for both:
Step #1-Choose a director/playwright that you trust and respect
Before you choose a director/playwright to work with, be sure it is someone who has supported you in the past or has an investment in your future. If that is not possible then try to see their work, read their reviews, or ask around about them before you make the commitment. It is essential that you are absolutely confident in each others work and are eager to work together.
For example, most of the new plays that I direct are plays that I have developed with writers in my workshops. The relationship from dramaturge to director is a natural one, since I know the play so well and care for its well being and execution. The writers are secure with both my knowledge of the script and my emotional connection to their piece. This kind of relationship makes sense, since both the playwright and I have the same goals in mind for the production.
Step #2-Get on the same page
I believe that it is the director's job to fulfill the playwright's vision so be brave, honest and fair with each other regarding your intentions from the beginning. Sit down over a cup of coffee and talk about the play-what you like and don't like, how and when it moves you, and any conceptual elements that you feel you want to enhance or experiment with. This initial conversation is crucial to determining whether or not you are both on the same page which is mandatory in order for the production process to work.
For example, when I went into production for Blaine Teamer's "Pandora's Trunk" at LATC, my concept was to personify the main character's alter ego. The playwright's original intention was to have it be a one woman show, a tour de force for some lucky local actress. When he discovered that I planned on putting another actress onstage as the character's alter ego instead of using a voice over, he was not happy. After a long passionate email exchange we came to a compromise. I would show him what the show would look like, and if he still did not like the work that we were doing, then I would change it. Thank God he liked it, because it would have been hell to re-stage the show! In this case, the playwright was willing to be open minded and give my concept a try. However, in the end, he had final say and was ultimately in control of the show's destiny.
Step #3-Trust each other to do their work
Just as a writer has a process in writing their play, the director has a process in directing it. Although you might not understand each others process, try to respect it and trust it. For example, I know from my experience as an Assistant Director to Tom Hulce on the Pulitzer Prize winning "The Cider House Rules", that it can often be painful for me to watch the director's process. It may seem foreign to me, or ineffective or sometimes just too passive. For example, Tom used to give the actors line readings which were brilliant and fascinating to watch.But these things can be confusing to actors. Does the director want you to imitate them or did they want the actor to make it their own? Despite the director's approach with the actors, rest assured, a good director has a plan and it is usually related to getting the performances they want out of the actors.
Similarly the playwright also has their own process which may seem unusual to the director. I have seen writers like Tony Kusher use improvisation with the actors to help solve some problems that he may be having with the text. He would often write scenes at night and bring them in the next day to be "tried" out with the actors. This kind of interaction with the actors is what seemed to help him most in creating "Angels..." Playwright Peter Parnell had a lot of behind the scenes input on "The Cider House Rules", from the two directors, Tom Hulce and Jane Jones, and from production dramaturge, Kurt Beattie. Jane and Tom were also the originators of the piece which was born out of Jane's company Book-It Repertory Theatre, which adapts plays from literature. Due to Jane and Tom's background and investment in the piece, they had very specific ideas of what the text should be and how it should be executed. Therefore Peter spent a lot of time with the directors discussing the text and structure. This type of interaction and development process is obviously very different than the one used by Tony Kushner who was more hands-on with the actors. Regardless, every playwright has their own way of working that is very specific to them and their projects. Accept each others process, don't judge it or analyze it too much.
Step #4-Allow there to be one voice in the room
It can be confusing to the actors to hear more than one voice guiding them through the process, especially if those voices are in conflict with one another. For example, I worked on a project which starred the writer. Although he had asked me to direct the project, he himself is a critically acclaimed, award winning director who had very specific ideas for the piece. Considering all of these givens, you can imagine that he had a lot of ideas and information to share with the cast. Although it may seem natural for him to share with the actors, it from time to time would confuse them to hear from the playwright instead of the director. He and I eventually came to the agreement that all notes would be passed through me first which substantially eased the actor's minds.
Believe me, the last thing you want for your production is unhappy actors! Keeping one voice in the room will keep the actors happy, on the right track, and focused on what they need to be doing. All of the writer's ideas and character thoughts for the actors are best if communicated through the director. A good director will take the writer's notes and try to implement them in a way that will not be too disruptive to the cast.
Step #5-Schedule note sessions with each other
It can be very distracting and confusing to have a writer whisper in my ear while I am working. On the other hand, it is also frustrating for a writer not to be heard by the director. Therefore, I suggest scheduling time with each other to share ideas and concerns (if any) any time other than during rehearsal.
Besides the occasional coffee meeting, a good time for the playwright to give his or her first set of notes to the director is after the first invited stumble thru, which is usually set aside for the designers. A separate meeting should be set up between the writer and the director in order to ensure that the director and the playwright are on the same page before any information is released to the designers, actors, producers, etc to avoid confusion.
The second private note session could be after the first dress rehearsal. This gives the director and the cast time to gel the changes that the playwright might have wanted and allows them time to work on them in a manner that is suitable for viewing.
The third private note session could be given after the final dress rehearsal or first preview. This proves helpful because by that time an audience will have attended and based on their reaction to things, the playwright and the director will know if certain aspects of the play work or not.
Step #6-Be Cool
The best playwright/director formula for success all comes down to mutual respect, communication, and trust. After all, no one knows the play like the writer, and by the same token, no one can find the nuances in a script like a director. In other words, you need each other, so be cool with each other and look out for one another.
Above all else, remember that it is only a play. We are not performing brain surgery or saving the world from mass destruction. Put your emotions about each other in check and in perspective when dealing with each other. As my high school boyfriend used to say "don't be lame".
Step #7-The worth of the work
Congratulations! Now that your show has opened, got great reviews, and was a hit, other theaters want to produce it! How do you proceed with your relationship to each other? What if you don't ever want to work with each other again? What if you only want to work with each other on every single project from here to eternity?
Well, if the playwright liked the director, then they are in luck. Most directors that are members of their union, The Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, are mandated to have a first right of refusal clause in their original contract. Therefore, if the writer and producer like the original staging, then the contract has been put into place to keep that original director.
But what if you never want to work with the director again? Rest assured, there are ways to arrange that as well. There is also a clause in every SSDC contract to "buy out" the director so the production can be remounted by someone else. It is usually a flat rate buy out which essentially pays the original director off so that the writer and producers don't have to work with them again. Another scenario that the playwright might encounter is that they like the original staging but they don't want to work with the original director again. In this case, sometimes a fee can be negotiated so that the staging can be used but remounted by an assistant or stage manger who is familiar with the production.
In any case, the original director receives written credit for the original staging no matter how many directors continue on with the production. The playwright is of course always attached to the piece, and should have final say in choosing the director and final casting approval as well.
The future of American Theatre depends upon directors and playwrights being able to work with each other. You never know when the next Pulitzer Prize winning play will be written and who is going to write it. As the notorious producer Diana Gibson used to say "Playwrights have to come from somewhere". So, find a director/playwright you trust, get on the same page with them, trust each other to do your work, and above all, be cool. A sense of humor goes a long way in the stressful, fast paced, sometimes wacky world of theatre.

Giving Birth to a Play
The process of new play development can sometimes feel akin to having a baby. The conception phase is all of the years that you have the idea in your head but have never been able to put it on down on paper. Then comes the pregnancy stage where you finally start to put your ideas onto paper and you have nine months to prepare for the "big day" when the rough draft is finally delivered. The final stage is the development of your brain child, The Script, and as they say, it takes a village to nurture it and bring it into fruition.
When you first have an idea for a play, it is like planting your seed. It is scary at first-(after all commitment always is). But once you make the decision, buckle up and go on the ride! Take the ideas you have in your head and put them onto paper. The best way to do this is stream of consciousness, in other words, do not edit yourself. Not yet-that will come later. Just let your ideas free flow and don't have any judgment about them or your work.
If you have a hard time disciplining yourself to do this, then I suggest scheduling a set time everyday to spend an hour with pen and paper. The other way to ensure this step is to sign up for a writing workshop where you are expected to bring at least ten pages a week. This is guaranteed to give you the kick you need! If a writing workshop is not possible, then schedule a time each week to read your pages to trusted friends and family in order to get feedback on your work. Be sure that you are getting feedback from someone who has an invested in your career and who cares about your work. Their notes will be the driving force for your rewrites, so be careful when choosing this person and make sure that they are someone you can trust.
During the first trimester your script is developing all of the basics for it's sustainability in the world. This is where you will ask yourself what the concept for the script is, why you are writing the script, and what value does the script have in the world at this time. Has the story been told before? If so, then how are you telling it differently?
The second trimester sees a lot of growth and fine tuning of the earlier work. As you attend the writing workshop or share your pages with friends, you will go back and incorporate their notes into the work you have already done. This process is painstaking and tedious but necessary for the development of your story.
The third trimester prepares your script for birth which is the delivery of the first draft. This is where the contractions come in-the painful process of objectively looking at your script as a whole and asking yourself some hard questions. For example, do your characters have strong arcs? Does the story itself have an arc?
The day has finally come when you have a rough draft of your script and it is time to share it with the rest of the world. A rough draft is exactly what it seems-a rough version of an eventual polished script. So, although you have gone through a painful yet rewarding birth process, you still have a ways to go before the script is finished.
The first step in this process is to schedule an informal play reading. This first reading should be for an invited audience only, or what I call your "warm fuzzy people". In other words, people who have an investment in you, i.e. your family, friends, colleagues, etc. Once you get their supportive feedback, you can go back into rewrites based on the notes that you have been given. I have seen some damage occur to writers who skip this stage and go straight to a public play reading. Believe me, when you first give birth to your play, you are not ready to hear criticism from strangers. Instead, you should be getting supportive comments from your tribe.
Child Rearing
The second step in the birthing process after going into rewrites from the warm fuzzy reading, is to schedule a public reading. This the best way to introduce your piece to a team of artists including a director, dramaturge, actors and of course the audience. This will allow you to get feedback from the general public, sometimes complete strangers. This objective criticism is critical to your script's development. An objective audience can help you to see any inconsistencies or contradictions in the script which you may not have seen before. Once you go through this process, you can then go back into rewrites based on the feedback you received.
Letting The Baby Go
Once you have gone through both readings and two sets of rewrites, you now have an official first draft of your script. It is now ready to go out into the world and be optioned, sold, or produced. Although you may be involved in the production process, you still have to give your script over to a director to interpret. Be sure to give it to a director you trust that perceives the script the same as you do, so that you will be happy with the outcome of the production.
Although there will most likely be rewrites during the production process, you are very close to seeing your baby fully realized.
The incredible feeling that you will have watching the first production of your script will be an invaluable and emotionally moving experience. Everything you went through from conception, pregnancy, birth, and rearing will have been worth it in the end.
So what are you waiting for? Go get knocked up!

Finding Your Tribe
Public speaking makes me want to pee…
I drove down to Cal State Fullerton last week to speak on a panel at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. I was on a panel with a colleague of mine, Ann-Giselle Spiegler, who is a "first call" director for new plays. She is smart, witty, eloquent, and full of life. It makes perfect sense to me why she would be on a panel. However, why I am asked to sit on panels eludes me. I am always nervous, sweating even, terrified that I will have little if nothing to say. And I always have to pee right before the panel starts, why is that? Plus, I have no witty repartee and nothing that comes out of my mouth is planned, rehearsed, or lets face it, even thought about. It's not that I don't want to be there, it's just that by the time the dreaded day arrives, I have barely had time to eat breakfast that morning, let alone prepare for the panel. On the way down to Fullerton, I am feeling guilt ridden about my perpetual state of unprepared-ness, and I am praying to God to let me get through the panel without incident.
This particular panel was on "directing new plays" which is something that I have a lot of experience doing. However, I have absolutely no idea how to articulate that experience into any kind of cohesive sentence. Thankfully Ann started the conversation, which I was then able to dove-tail off of. As usual, Ann spoke eloquently about directing new plays and working with the writer in the room. She expressed her passion for the work she does, and explained her process with ease.
"There is no way I can do that!" I thought silently to myself. I wonder if this is a common thing? Do other artists have this affliction or is it just me? I find it nearly impossible to explain how I work or what I do in a rehearsal room. Partly because I think it changes depending on the play, the playwright, the cast, the material, etc. The work is almost always instinctual, there is no plan really, no rhyme or reason to the process, but more of a reaction to what is happening in the room. Oh shit! Ann is done speaking and it's my turn to speak…here goes nothing!
After I stumbled over my words, and recited some sort of basic idea of what a director does in a rehearsal room, Ann suggested that we open up the room to questions for the panel. Ah ha! At last! Questions are good-I can handle those! Then, out of nowhere, a sudden stroke of panic hit me! "What if I don't know the answers to the questions" I thought to myself. Once again, thank God Ann was there to make the question and answer section go a lot smoother. There was one question however, that resonated with me-it came from an older woman who was having her play produced at the festival for the first time. Her question was rather simple-"How do I get my plays produced?" Hmmmmm, that is a good question. Based on my blank look, Ann jumped in and attempted to answer her, while I was having a sort of surreal flashback…
Post Traumatic Theatre Disorder…
I suddenly flashed to almost 16 years ago when I and some other colleagues founded and ran a small theatre company in the valley dedicated to producing new work. Some of the playwrights that I still work with today were produced in that theatre back in the early 90's. Talented local writers like Jon Bastian, Tim Toyama, Ken Hanes, Dale Griffiths Stamos, Leon Martel, and more. Despite the risk of producing new work, we supported their work. Our passion kept us going and we pushed through the lean times and made sure those controversial shows were mounted no matter what! We even got good reviews! Eventually The Road Theatre Company grew into one of the best 99 seat theatres in Los Angeles. And then it hit me-could it be true that I have known and worked with these writers for over 15 years now?
I thought about the upcoming production that my current theatre company, The Syzygy Theatre Company, is scheduled to produce. Written by Jon Bastian, Syzygy and the Los Angeles Writers Center have been developing this 6 hour epic for over 2 years now. And then it hit me-could it be true that Jon and I have maintained a relationship for over 15 years? Does that really happen in Hollywood? I mean who does that? Maybe that is what happens when you find your tribe? I quickly realized what the answer to the question might be….
Finding Your Tribe…
When it was my turn to reply, I was able to say without any doubt, "I think it is about the relationships that you form early on in your career that build a firm foundation for friendship, trust, and like mindedness." The students looked at my blankly. I continued, "In other words, work with people that have an investment in you, in your talent, your friendship, and your success. Playwrights-find a director who believes in your work and let them champion it. After all, it is directors who push new work into production because of their passion for the writer and the piece. Without the director's passion, new American plays might not get produced!" They looked confused, but my spark was ignited, and now I could not stop talking! "Plays are not to be hung on Museum walls, they should reflect the concerns of the present time!" Even I was shocked by how passionate I was becoming, but now I was on a roll! "Write about what concerns you! Write to discover the truth! Then, find someone who believes the same things you do and partner with them. Find your tribe. You are the future of the American Theatre!" Ok, even I knew I was getting carried away, so I turned the conversation back over to Ann.
After a slight pause, one of the student writers raised his hand and asked "but what if I don't know any directors?" I thought about this question for a moment and then said with confidence, "Well, now you know us." After the panel was over, the student came up and asked for my card. I handed it to him knowing that even though I barely have time to eat breakfast, I would read his play.

About two-thirds of the students who appeared for the first year engineering exam of the Mumbai University in December have failed, a shocking indicator of the performance in an important stream.
According to the results declared on Friday, of the 29,565 students from all affiliated colleges who appeared for the first semester exam only 10,245 have passed. That is just 35%, which is about the same pass percentage at the exam in the previous year.
Students are blaming this very poor show on the tough curriculum and poor quality of teaching. However, teachers say that with the proliferation of colleges the quality of students opting for engineering is declining.
The results come 75 days after the exam, way beyond the stipulated 45 days period mandated under the Maharashtra University Act 1994.
The delay has been attributed to glitches in the online assessment system which was introduced recently to quicken the work.
From the details available it seems that of the 11 papers that the students appeared for many of them fared worst in the computer programming-1.
While there has been no improvement in the performance from the previous year, about 81% students had failed the first semester exam in 2011-12.
"The curriculum at the engineering level is much higher as compared to class 12, so we find it difficult to cope up. Moreover, many of the teachers don't know how to teach," complained one student, who attended private tutorials but failed in two papers.
Students also wondered about the reliability of the online assessment system. "We don't know how well they scanned thousands of answer papers. There could be something wrong as I thought I had done quite well," said another student. He plans to apply for revaluation of his papers.
The professors, however, point to a "lack of skills" among students. Padma Deshmukh, controller of exams, said, "Since the number of engineering colleges has gone up these days, the quality of students is declining. Those who don't have engineering skills are also doing the engineering course."
The results of 1,358 students have been withheld on account of low resolution of the answer sheets scanned on low quality scanners. The exam house would scan them again to complete the assessment.

DIY Tinted Sunscreen Recipe Has Been Published on Kids Activities Blog
An easy DIY tinted sunscreen recipe and a laundry list of favorite summer bucket list ideas have been released on Kids Activities Blog. Check out these handy summer tips from seasoned Moms that stop to drain the family budget.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 07, 2013
Summer time is sunscreen time. Sunscreen can be expensive for families with multiple children. Kids Activities Blog has released a great inexpensive sunscreen recipe and a laundry list of summer bucket list ideas. Summer activities do not have to drain the family budget.
The recipe is both simple to do and inexpensive especially for families with multiple children. Ingredients needed are 2-3 tablespoons of Zinc Oxide powder, 1 pound of Shea Butter, 1 ounce 100% Beeswax, some Lavender oil for scent, and to tint the sunscreen brown about 1/8 teaspoon of Iron Oxide powder which is optional.
The Shea Butter is the base and is the carrier for the powder. This makes the sunscreen waterproof and does not melt as easy when exposed to higher temperatures. The Beeswax also helps solidify the cream. If living in the North, one may want to use less or none. If the sunscreen has melted for whatever reason, shake it up before using.
Melt the Shea Butter and the Beeswax in a double boiler. Whisk it to blend the oils. Put on a mask and mix in the Zinc Oxide and Oxide powders. Blend well and add the Lavender oil or any other oil for scent except Citrus oils.
Rub the lotion between hands before applying it on the skin. Other fun inexpensive ideas for the summer bucket list include making cool fizzing sidewalk paint, building a CD hoover craft, using damaged pool noodles to make cool art, creating all sorts of fun art and games from items found in the recycling bin, decorating the yard with balloon people, and getting muddy by making dirt soup with the kiddos.
For detailed instructions and to get additional fun inexpensive ideas, check out Kids Activities Blog this week. Come get inspired to do fun summer stuff without exploding the family budget.

I was previously using a successful Xinerama setup with two PCI TNT cards, with a Pentium III and i810 chipset, and the "nv" driver. This is on RH 8.0 with the updated kernel. So I install the Nvidia kernel module using srpm and the i386 GLX driver. It compiles and installs just fine, and the kernel module loads just fine. When I start X, one screen comes up fine, however the second screen fails with this in the XF86 error log

If I switch the second card back to the "nv" driver it works. Ive attached my XFconfig and XF error log. BTW, in the XFconfig file, Card2 is the disabled onboard i810.
