A family deals musically with its bipolar matriarch in TheatreZone production
"Next to Normal," the TheatreZone production opening today, might be talking straight to you — or perhaps one of your family.
It is a thought-provoking contemporary musical about the Goodmans, an ordinary family that must come to terms with the piercing realities of one member's mental illness.
TheatreZone Director Mark Danni said the musical conveys the heavy subject matter with honesty and humor.
"There are light moments," he added.
The drama is well known for its entertainment value — it won three Tony Awards in 2009 and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. But the show's message and accuracy drew Danni.
"It's also one of those pieces where you can communicate to people — not just entertain, but actually communicate — on an issue that so many people deal with and are afraid to be public about," Danni said.
'Next to Normal'
What: A TheatreZone Production
When: 8 p.m. Thursday, March 7 through Saturday, March 9 and March 14-16 and 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday and March 17
Where: G&L Theatre, the Community School of Naples, 13275 Livingston Road, Naples
Tickets: $43 and $58 plus a fee
To purchase: 888-966-3352 or www.theatrezone-florida.com
Diana Goodman, the matriarch of the family, lurches through the highs and lows of bipolar disorder, as the family around her tries to function.
In any given year, about 2.6 percent of the adult population in the United States — approximately 5.7 million people — are affected by bipolar disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Karen Molnar, the production's choreographer and Danni's wife, plays Diana Goodman, the suburban mother who ricochets from intense lows to brilliant highs while she and her family explore the proper treatment for her diagnosis.
Molnar said she is able to handle the demands of the role because she is not a method actress.
"I've become pretty good at leaving it at the door," she said.
Dan Goodman, played by Larry Alexander, is her husband and primary caregiver. Alexander, a veteran Broadway and TheatreZone actor, said his character is trying to hold everyone together.
"He's dealing with all different levels of unhealthiness," Alexander said.
The couples' two children, total opposites Natalie and Gabriel Goodman, are caught up in the tempest of their mother's fluctuating feelings. Vera Samuels plays Natalie, a rebellious teen who feels neglected by her parents.
She said Natalie is relatable because the character is filled with the angst and loneliness that many teenagers feel.
"She just epitomizes all of that," Samuels said.
The musical's emotional ups and downs require the actors to dig deep, according to Alexander.
"You've got to go to some pretty dark places," he said.
Samuels, a petite woman with a booming singing voice, said she understands what Natalie Goodman goes through because of her own family struggles.
"It hits very close to home for me," she said.
To enrich the experience for audiences, TheatreZone partnered with the David Lawrence Center, the Southwest Florida not-for-profit mental health and substance abuse treatment center, to host two discussion events about the musical and its themes.
Scott Haltzman, a staff psychiatrist at the David Lawrence Center, agreed to speak at both events.
Coincidentally, he already had seen the musical years before.
Haltzman said he was in New York City standing in line for Broadway tickets when a person standing in front of him suggested that he see "Next to Normal."
"I didn't even know what it was about before she mentioned it," he said.
Haltzman said he was impressed by the "creative way" the musical portrayed mental illness.
"I'm always very skeptical of people who try to convey it," he said. "There was something about this that seemed very authentic and captivating and even — accurate."
Tom Kitt, who co-created "Next to Normal," said he and his writing partner, Brian Yorkey, did a lot of research and asked medical professionals to weigh in on the script.
"We really wanted to get the medicine correct and not have people walk away with any sort of bad feeling about the portrayal of the disease (or) the medical community," Kitt said.
They also made deliberate choices regarding the characters, too, according to Kitt.
"There were questions of should Diana be an artist, should she be some sort of genius. And we felt like once you do that, you desensitize the audience a little bit 'cause they feel like what they're watching only happens to someone with these bursts of creativity and genius, as opposed to someone who works, who is a mother, who is a wife," Kitt said. "I think that if you look at the statistics, more people who deal with this really represent the entire spectrum of people."
The play won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, a special distinction reserved only for plays with top literary value. Past winners include Arthur Miller for "Death of a Salesman" in 1941 and Tennessee Williams for "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in 1955.
Haltzman said that although "Next to Normal" is stylized, it does a good job of showing a patient's psychiatric treatment cycle, the feelings of denial felt by family members and the balance between hope and despair that people go through.
"So many of those qualities I see in my patients," he said.
But the characters on stage do seem to have one advantage: They can spontaneously burst into song when things get intense. Music serves as the vehicle for the characters' most powerful emotions.
Kitt, who composed the emotionally charged score, said he and Yorkey decided early on that the story was most compelling when the characters were singing.
"We definitely felt like we wanted the score to do the heavy lifting," Kitt said. "And it also made the moments of dialogue that much more important."
The music spans genres — from rock to gospel.
TheatreZone's production will include a six-member live band with Michael Horsley, a longtime friend of Danni's, as music director.
Kitt said he has seen different types of theatergoers take to the piece.
"I hope we've done this in a way that no matter what your sensibilities are, you will see this, you will go with it and it will affect you," Kitt said.
Kitt said he is confident that Southwest Florida audiences will be inspired by TheatreZone's take on the musical.
"I know they are going to do a beautiful job of it," Kitt said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- While many people on the First Coast enjoyed Labor Day at the beach or with family, others worked the holiday.
"Programs, scorecards!" Wayne Willey screamed near the top of his lungs at Bragan Field in downtown Jacksonville.
"It's an exciting job," he said with a wide smile. "I enjoy it very very much!"
It is a job selling souvenir baseball programs.
For the last five years, it has been a labor of love for 63-year-old family man, Wayne Willey.
"(I'm) Happy to be here," he said. "So, I have no problem working on Labor Day."
The United States Department of Labor's website says the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City. It's dedicated to the social and economic achievements of american workers.
Workers like Charles Smith.
"What I do, is I cook the hot dogs." Smith said as he stood in front of a large concession stand grill filled with hot dogs. "Bubba burgers. Sausage dogs."
He is not alone. Time Magazine's Buisness and Money section website said Bloomberg BNA data shows that 39 percent of employers will keep operations open and require some workers to be there on Labor Day.
"It's a privilege though." Smith said as he turned a few of the hot dogs. "It's really a privilege to work on Labor Day."
Outside, walking through the stands, a vendor who was also working Monday, shouted "Peanuts! Snowcones!"
The vendor continued walking through the stands while folks who aren't at work decided what to buy as they watched the Jacksonville Suns play. First Coast News wondered what they thought about the Labor Day workforce
"Some people's jobs have to be done, no matter what day it is," said Charles Hunt, 30, of Jacksonville. He was off the clock.

Originally formed as a jazz fusion ensemble under the name Mind Power, Bad Brains developed a very fast and intense punk rock sound, which was both musically complex and was often played faster and more emphatically than the music of many of their peers. They were also an adept reggae band, in a sort of Jekyll-and-Hyde arrangement, while later recordings featured elements of funk and heavy metal. Bad Brains are also notable as religious followers of the Rastafari movement.
Bad Brains broke up and reformed several times over the years, sometimes with different singers and/or drummers. The band's classic and current lineup is singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jennifer, and drummer Earl Hudson.
Bad Brains has had a major influence on skate culture, therefore it was only natural for Supreme to join the band to produce a small capsule collection. Supreme will release a Vans Sk-8 HI in three colorways, harrington jacket, and two t-shirts.
Available at the NY and LA stores on April 24th. Japan will release the project on April 26th at the Daikanyama and Harajuku stores and April 27th at the Osaka and Fukuoka stores.
Check out the entire collection after the jump.

"We warmly recommend this book for experimental psychologists with an interest in attention, action and cognitive neuroscience. It has intrigued us, as it takes a very frugal perspective that leads to profound and very promising new insights: Attention and action are closely interconnected systems, and the links between them can be explored in cognitive neuroscience. It leaves us quite satisfied and curious for further findings and insights that may result from future research in the growing field of cognitive neuroscience." - Fred W Mast and Pascal Wallisch, Cambridge, USA in The Swiss Journal of Psychology 60 (2), 2001, 109-112

1. The European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance (ETS 14) was drawn up and signed at the same time as the European Interim Agreements on social security schemes. (1) Like these agreements, the Convention is accompanied by a protocol which extends its scope to cover refugees, as defined in the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 on the Status of Refugees.
2. The European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance and its Protocol were opened for signature on 11 December 1953 and entered into force on 1 July 1954. As of 1 January 2000, the Convention has been ratified by the following 17 member States: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom. With the exception of Malta, all of these States have also ratified the Protocol.
3. Reference to the European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance is made in Article 13, paragraph 4, of the European Social Charter and of the Revised European Social Charter. Article 13 of the Charter concerns the right to social and medical assistance, and paragraph 4 states that this right must also be granted to nationals of other Contracting Parties lawfully within their territories and must, moreover, be exercised in accordance with the Contracting Parties obligations under the European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance. 4. The European Convention on Social and Medical Assistance is an instrument of co-ordination, and its provisions are directly applicable. If difficulties arise concerning the interpretation or application of the Convention, it is for the competent authority of the Contracting Party faced with the difficulties to endeavour to settle the dispute with the competent authorities of the other Contracting Parties or, failing that, to bring the matter before an arbitration body, whose decision is final and binding (Article 20 of the Convention). Thus far this procedure has not been used.
Section I (Articles 1 to 5) comprises the general provisions of the Convention.
Article 1
5. Article 1 establishes the basic principle on which the Convention is based, namely the principle of equal treatment. Each of the Contracting Parties undertakes to ensure that nationals of other Contracting Parties who are lawfully present in their territory shall be entitled, according to the principle of equality of treatment, to the same social and medical assistance as that available to its own nationals. Another important concept in Article 1 is that of lawful presence. For persons to be entitled to social and medical assistance, they must be "lawfully present" in the territory of a Contracting Party. The Convention therefore applies to nationals of Contracting States who are lawfully present in the territory of another Contracting State, irrespective of their length of stay. The only conditions governing entitlement to social and medical assistance are that a persons presence in the Contracting Party be lawful and that he or she be in need. Whether or not a persons presence is lawful is determined by the Contracting Parties laws governing the conditions of entry and the presence of foreign nationals in their respective territories, as well as any international agreements that may alter these conditions.
Article 2
Article 2 (a) contains a number of definitions.
6. "Assistance" covers the means of subsistence and the care necessitated by their condition by persons without sufficient resources. According to the European Committee of Social Rights of the European Social Charter, "whatever the nature of this assistance, with benefits provided in cash and/or in kind, the assistance must be provided as long as the need persists in order to help the person concerned to continue to lead a decent life". (2).
7. Assistance does not cover non-contributory pensions, nor benefits paid in respect of war injuries or injuries due to foreign occupation. The limitation is due to the fact that non-contributory pensions are social security benefits covered by the European Interim Agreement on social security schemes relating to old-age, invalidity and survivors. Benefits paid to victims of war injuries or injuries due to foreign occupation are generally governed by different laws to those governing social security and social assistance benefits.
8. Each Contracting Party is left free to adopt its own definition of the terms "national" and "territory" but, through the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, must notify the other Contracting Parties of the scope given to these terms. Persons who have lost their nationality otherwise than by deprivation and have thus become stateless continue to be treated as nationals until they have acquired another nationality.
9. For the purpose of the Convention, "country of origin" means the country of which the person seeking to benefit from the Convention is a national.
10. Lastly, Article 2 (b) requires that the Contracting Parties list, in Annex I of the Convention, the laws and regulations to which the Convention applies and, in Annex II, the reservations they intend to formulate.
11. The scope of the Convention is determined by references to the domestic laws of the Contracting Parties, with details of such laws set forth in the annexes. When depositing the instrument of ratification, each Party is therefore required to supply precise information for incorporation in the said annexes. Accordingly, the annexes play a key role in identifying the undertakings of each Contracting Party.
Article 3
12. Under the terms of Article 3, it is the regulations in force in the country of which the person is a national (the country of origin) which shall apply for the purpose of providing proof of his or her nationality.
Article 4
13. Article 4 establishes another important principle, namely that there is no requirement for the country of origin to refund the cost of assistance. The cost of assistance incurred by one Contracting Party on behalf of a national of another Contracting Party shall be borne by the Contracting Party which granted the assistance.
Article 5
14. If the laws of one Contracting Party provide for recovery of the sums paid to an assisted person from third parties under financial obligation to that person or liable to contribute to the cost of his or her maintenance, Article 5 requires that, so far as their laws and regulations permit, the other Contracting Parties help this Contracting Party with the administrative formalities involved in order to facilitate recovery of the costs incurred. However, it seems that this provision is seldom applied. The involvement of third parties, who are often insurance companies dealing directly with the assisted person, reduces the cost of assistance.
Section II (Articles 6 to 10) is concerned particularly with repatriation.
Article 6
15. In relation to lawfully resident nationals of another Contracting Party, Article 6 (a) is important insofar as it states that the need for assistance is not a ground for repatriation. A Contracting Party may not therefore deport a national of another Contracting Party on the ground that he/she is no longer able to meet his/her needs or requires care necessitated by his/her condition. However, Article 6 (b) provides that the right to deport shall not be prejudiced by the Convention, as long as the need for assistance is not used as the ground for deportation.
Article 7
16. Article 7 lays down three conditions which, if all met at the same time, allow Contracting Parties to depart from the provisions of Article 6 (a). The first condition concerns the age and length of stay of the person concerned. Repatriation is only possible if the person entered the territory before attaining the age of 55 and has been continuously resident there for less than 5 years or if he or she entered the territory after attaining the age of 55 and has been resident there less than 10 years. The other two conditions are that the persons health must allow repatriation and that he or she has no close ties with the country of residence. It should be noted that the term "close ties" leaves the Contracting Parties a margin for their own interpretation. An exact definition is therefore difficult. However, this question raised no major problems when the Convention was being prepared. For the representatives of the different countries, it was clear that what was meant was all the different kinds of ties people may have with their place of residence (eg family, social and cultural). In this context it is important to note that according to Article 7 (b) of the Convention, Contracting Parties must have recourse to repatriation only in the greatest moderation and only where there is no objection on humanitarian grounds. Lastly, Article 7 (c) states that if assisted persons are repatriated, facilities to accompany them should be offered to the spouse and children. It should also be noted that certain periods of residence may be deducted by Contracting Parties when calculating length of residence in their territories (Article 14 of the Convention).
Article 8
17. Article 8 stipulates that the cost of repatriation is borne by the Contracting Party responsible for the repatriation. Contracting Parties undertake to receive nationals of theirs who are repatriated, and other Contracting Parties must not hinder transit of repatriated persons across their territory.
Article 9
18. In the event of disagreement over the nationality of the assisted person, the country of which he or she claims to be a national must provide proof to the contrary within 30 days or as soon as possible thereafter.
Article 10
19. Article 10 describes the administrative procedure for repatriation: notification of the diplomatic or consular authorities of the country of origin, notification of the authorities of the country or countries of transit, agreement between the country of residence and the country of origin concerning the place where the repatriated person will be handed over.
Section III (Articles 11 to 14) of the Convention contains various
relating to the term residence.
20. These provisions are particularly important with respect to Section II on repatriation. They are designed to enable the Parties to determine whether or not a person claiming assistance is "resident" in the country and has been "continuously resident" there for five years (or, in special cases, ten), in which case he/she cannot be repatriated on the ground that he/she is in need of assistance.
Article 11
21. Article 11 clarifies the term "lawful" within the meaning of the Convention. As explained with respect to Article 1, the term lawful is determined by the Contracting Parties laws and regulations. The documents listed in Annex III may be used as evidence of the residence.
Article 12
22. Article 7 of the Convention authorises repatriation if certain conditions are met. One of these concerns the period during which the person concerned has been resident on the territory of the Contracting Party granting assistance. Article 12 specifies that it is for the Party granting assistance to set the commencing date of this period of residence and that it must rely for the purpose either on evidence supplied by official investigation, or on the documents listed in Annex III or on any documents recognised by the country's laws and regulations as affording proof of residence. The person concerned may dispute these documents if he/she is in a position to produce other evidence.
Article 13
23. Sub-paragraph a indicates that the continuity of the person's residence may be shown by the production of any evidence acceptable in the country granting assistance. Sub-paragraph b specifies that continuity of residence is not held to be interrupted by periods of absence of less than 3 months, provided that the absence is not caused by repatriation or deportation. Periods of absence of 6 months or more are held to interrupt continuity of residence. With respect to periods of absence of between 3 and 6 months, it is to be decided if the person concerned has preserved his/her links with the country during his/her absence and has expressed the intention of returning to that country, in which case the period of residence should be regarded as continuous.
Article 14
24. Periods during which the person concerned has received assistance from public funds, paid according to laws and regulations mentioned in Annex I, are excluded from the calculation of the period of residence. However, if the person has received, during those periods, medical treatment for acute illness or short-term medical treatment, this period is included in the calculation of the period of residence.
Section IV (Articles 15 to 24) contains various miscellaneous
which are mainly of a technical nature.
Article 15
25. Article 15 provides for mutual assistance of the authorities (administrative, diplomatic, consular) of the Contracting Parties in implementing the Convention.
Article 16
26. Article 16 (a) and (b) contain respectively provisions as regards notification by the Contracting Parties of any subsequent amendments to their national laws and regulations which may affect Annexes I and III, and of new laws or regulations not already in Annex I.
27. According to Article 16 (b), the Contracting Parties can make reservations not only at the time of ratification, but also at a later date. However, any subsequent reservation shall relate to, and be formulated at the same time as a notification concerning new laws or regulations.
28. Any information notified by a Contracting Party under Article 16 (a) and (b) is communicated to the other Contracting Parties by the Secretary General (c).
Article 17
29. Article 17 indicates that two Contracting Parties, if they wish so, may conclude an agreement to deal with the cases in which assistance was granted prior to the entry into force of the Convention.
Article 18
30. Article 18 guarantees that in ratifying the Convention there shall be no limitation of any more favourable rights already acquired under national laws or regulations, international conventions or agreements.
Article 19
31. Article 19 provides that the three Annexes form an integral part of the Convention. In order to allow the proper application of the Convention, the Contracting Parties are bound, as and when necessary, to update Annexes I and III.
Article 20
32. Article 20 contains provisions about settlement of disputes.
33. According to Article 20 (a), any disagreement regarding the interpretation or application of the Convention, shall in the first place be attempted to resolve by negotiations between the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties. This entails that it is up to the Contracting Parties to make an authoritative interpretation of the provisions of the Convention.
34. In cases where it has not been possible to settle the dispute by the use of negotiations, the arbitration is called upon, whose decision is final and binding.
Article 21
35. Article 21 contains standard provisions about signature and ratification as adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
Article 22
36. Article 22 envisages the possibility of non-member States of the Council of Europe acceding to the Convention on the invitation of the Committee of Ministers and lays down the procedure to be followed in such a case.
Article 23
37. Article 23 contains standard provisions for notification by the Secretary General of important information received by him under the provisions of the Convention (see also Article 16 (c)).
Article 24
38. Although the Convention was concluded for an initial period of two years, no positive act is required in order to keep it in force indefinitely, from year to year. On the other hand, a Contracting Party which wishes not to be bound by the Convention any longer, must positively denounce it. The denunciation procedure is, for practical reasons, so arranged that the denunciation always take effect from the expiry, either of the initial two-year period or of a subsequent yearly period.
39. The Protocol concerns all persons, irrespective of nationality, who have obtained refugee status in a Contracting Party.
Article 1
40. Article 1 defines the term "refugee" by making use of the definition of Article 1 the United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, signed at Geneva on 28 July 1951. This definition was changed by a Protocol to the UN Convention signed on 31 January 1967.
41. The Declaration mentioned in Article 1, paragraph B, has no relevance after the change in 1967 of the definition in the UN Convention.
Article 2
42. Article 2 provides that Section I of the Assistance Convention, which concerns the right to assistance, shall apply to refugees under the same conditions as to nationals of the Contracting Parties.
Article 3
43. Paragraph 1 provides that the provisions of Section II of the Convention, which concern repatriation, shall not apply to refugees.
44. Naturally, persons who have obtained refugee status in a Contracting Party where they are lawfully resident cannot be returned to the country they have fled because this would be in breach of the United Nations Convention.
45. Likewise, the provisions of Section II do not concern refugees who have obtained refugee status in a Contracting Party and who travel to another Contracting Party. However, in cases where the European Agreement on Transfer of Responsibility for Refugees, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 16 of October 1980, is applicable, a refugee has to be readmitted by the first Contracting Party as long as transfer of responsibility has not occurred.
Articles 4 and 5
46. Articles 4 and 5 are standard final provisions.
47. Annexes I to III constitute an integral part of the Convention. The States are bound to provide the information to be included in Annexes I and III at the time of ratification of the Convention. Only a Contracting Party can dispute the content of the annexes relating to another Contracting Party. The Contracting Parties are bound to update the annexes as and when necessary in order to ensure the correct application of the Convention.
48. Article 2(b) of the Convention, provides that the laws and regulations in force in the territories of the Contracting Parties and to which the Convention applies are set forth in Annex I.
49. Under the terms of Article 1 of the Convention, each of the Contracting Parties undertakes to ensure that nationals of other Contracting Parties who are lawfully present in their territory and who are without sufficient resources shall be entitled, equally with its own nationals and on the same conditions, to the social and medical assistance provided by the legislation currently in force in its territory. It follows that the Contracting Parties should, in principle, list under Annex I all the laws and regulations relating to social and medical assistance in force in their territory at the time of ratification of the Convention. If the Parties did not extend the application of the Convention to all relevant legislation, the treatment of nationals of other Parties would in fact no longer be equal to that of the nationals of the host State.
50. Article 2(b) of the Convention, provides that the States can set forth reservations in Annex II. These reservations must be made at the time of ratification of the Convention.

(1) On 17 March 1948 in Brussels, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom signed a Treaty on "economic, social and cultural collaboration and collective self-defence". In the spirit of this Treaty the five states resolved to extend their co-operation in the social field and, accordingly, signed a "Convention on social and medical assistance" in Paris on 7 November 1949. In 1950 the Council of Europe's Committee of Experts on social security questions proposed drawing up a European Convention on Social and Medical assistance that would extend the provisions of the convention concluded between the above five States to all the members of the Council of Europe.

With friends and family coming through your door for the holidays, it's almost certain they left some messes behind.
Check out these Trib Tips to freshen up your entryway before the stains of the season rout your grout. And Linda Welch of Ohio shares a "tree-cycling" tip to spruce up your yard and help wildlife at the same time.
Make your tile smile
To clean slate or any other type of tile the old-fashioned way, a simple mixture of dish soap and warm water should do the trick. Fill a bucket with warm water, add a couple of squirts of soap, and scrub away with a rag or chamois-style mop.
Avoid sponge mops. They'll drag dirty water into the grout and you'll have even more mess to clean.
Make sure you thoroughly rinse the soap from your tile with clean, warm water. Any film left on the surface can attract dirt.
If you can tolerate the smell of vinegar, try this cleaning concoction: mix 1 cup white vinegar with 1 gallon of hot water. The vinegar solution will dry without leaving a nasty film behind, so there's no need to rinse.
If your tile has lost its luster, shine it up with a lemon juice bath. Test in an inconspicuous area first to make sure your surface can tolerate lemon's acidic properties.
In a rut
Your grout takes a beating this time of year. Because of its porous nature, it easily absorbs mud, spills and grease.
The following are several concoctions that can help you cure the crud. Before trying any of these methods, test in a small inconspicuous area, like a closet or under a piece of furniture.
— Mix a solution of half hydrogen peroxide and half water and spray it into your grout tracks. Wait about 10 minutes, then scrub clean with a cloth.
— Sprinkle baking soda on the grout and scrub with a toothbrush. Spray liberally with white vinegar. The soda will fizz your filth away.
— For really stubborn stains, mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda into a paste. Apply to the affected area and wait about 20 minutes. Wipe with a wet rag.
— If company is on the way and you spot a stain in your grout, zap it quickly with an ordinary pencil eraser. No mess, no fuss.
Vie for vinyl
If you're lucky enough to have vinyl flooring in your entryway, you have the easiest cleaning job of all.
Mix 1 gallon warm water with 1 cup white vinegar and 5-10 drops of liquid soap. Pre-treat stains and spots with the solution. Wait 10 minutes, then mop the entire floor with a sponge mop.
Don't let the wet mess linger. Prolonged soaking can loosen flooring adhesive.
For difficult spots, try a pencil eraser.
Swiffer savings
Baby wipes are close to the same size as those expensive name-brand dry mops. Simply wash a new baby wipe to remove the oils, dry, then attach. The wipes are extremely durable and should hold up for an entire mopping session.
Linda Welch of Edison, Ohio, spruces up her yard with done-for-the-season holiday trees. She secures them to birdfeeder posts for winter landscaping that requires no digging.
"Birds love it," Welch said. "They can hide if a big hawk comes after them."

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi. I just bought My Book Studio Edition II 2tb with eSATA being one of the decisive features, only to find it being even slower than USB 2.0. I use the external disc in a RAID 1 configuration (done via supplied software on a windows machine, the partition is therefore ntfs). I am very disappointed because of this, because if I can't get it to work properly, I just wasted somewhere around 50, which is a substantial amount in this purchase. On top of that, I'd really need the added performance for video editing. I use Kubuntu and am backing up my files with Grsync. My laptop is HP dv5t series. Can anyone suggest what to do? (Hardware)

Mark Sanchez lost his job as the New York Jets' starting quarterback this week. The next step might be a move to another team. The New York Daily News reported Wednesday that the Jets will attempt to trade Sanchez in the offseason. According to the newspaper, the team probably would have to pay much of Sanchez's guaranteed $8.25 million base salary in order to rid itself of the Southern California alumnus. Sanchez would count $17.1 million against the Jets' salary cap should they cut him after the season, according to numerous media reports. Jets coach Rex Ryan announced Tuesday that third-string quarterback Greg McElroy would take over as the team's starter for Sunday's home game against the San Diego Chargers. The team's second-string quarterback, Tim Tebow, arrived in a ballyhooed offseason trade, but he's barely seen action this season. He was passed over in favor of McElroy this week.

One Good Thing: Wooden Bins
It probably won't come as a surprise when I tell you that I've actually had many a happy dream in which I am wandering gleefully through a Container Store. Alas I've never actually been inside one (dream on Ez, dream on). Regardless, today I'm loving the vintage-feel of these sleek and simple wooden bins – available in Whitewashed and Feathergrain. Fortunately they're available for purchase online…so there's no need to step foot inside of a Container Store to indulge (goody-goody). xo Ez

Cab driver Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou says former UC basketballl coach Andy Kennedy hit him in the cheek early this morning in downtown Cincinnati. To the left is Jiddou's lawyer, Rusty O'Brien. / The Enquirer/Leigh Taylor

Former University of Cincinnati head basketball coach Andy Kennedy, now head coach at Mississippi, was arrested this morning on a charge of assaulting a taxi driver.
Also arrested was William Armstrong, the director of operations at Mississippi, on a charge of disorderly conduct, reports show.
The men are in town for the SEC/Big East invitational at U.S. Bank Arena. Mississippi plays No. 8 Louisville tonight.
"I regret this situation," Kennedy, 40, said in a statement this afternoon. "The focus should be on the players and the game, not on me. I vehemently deny the charges levied against me, and am completely confident that I will be fully exonerated of all charges."
Kennedy told ESPN: "There was no assault whatsoever, physical or verbal.''
Reports state Armstrong, 31, was drunk and thrown out of the Lodge Bar downtown early this morning.
After that, he and Kennedy got a cab. A report says Armstrong taunted the driver in which his conduct was likely to cause a violent response.
A separate report says Kennedy was the aggressor and punched the driver, Mohammed Ould Jiddou.
Police say a person standing nearby witnessed the assault and that Armstrong was so intoxicated he refused to calm down when asked and requested that he be taken to jail.
Jiddous lawyer, Rusty OBrien, said Kennedy called Jiddou Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
Theyre the worst names in the world, terrorists, OBrien said. For Kennedy to associate my client with them is hurtful.
OBrien said Kennedy hailed Jiddou, a driver for Jet Cab, on a downtown street. When Kennedy got in the cab, he tried to bring four others with him, but Jiddou tried to explain he did not have room for the whole group.
Kennedy started calling his client names and punched him, O'Brien said. Kennedy got out of the cab, hitting it as he walked away, OBrien said.
Jiddou is a legal citizen of the United States, coming here from Mauritania, a northwest Africa country, about eight years ago, OBrien said. OBrien represented Jiddou on a past immigration issue, which is why Jiddou called him this morning.
Jiddou spoke outside his Crescent Springs apartment today, saying, "I work hard. I don't want to hear anything like that."
As for what Kennedy said: "It's racist or he thinks he has power and can do something and he don't care."
Kennedy has hired former Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen to represent him.
Allen entered a not guilty plea on behalf of his client this morning, and the same on behalf of Armstrong.
He said Kennedy "emphatically denies this and emphatically denies making any racial slurs."
Assistant Mississippi basketball coach Michael White said Kennedy would coach Thursday night.
Mississippi Athletic Director Pete Boone issued a statement in support of Kennedy.
"Clearly, this is an unfortunate situation. However, after a full discussion with Andy Kennedy and his staff, who were with him, I have the utmost confidence that once all the facts are known, Coach Kennedy will be cleared of all charges," said Boone, who is with the team.
Kennedy is next scheduled to appear before Hamilton County Municipal Judge Duane Mallory Jan. 16. Armstrong is to appear Jan. 16 before Hamilton County Municipal Judge Brad Greenberg.

URA to gauge Sheraden grocery store interest
Sheraden could be the next economically depressed Pittsburgh neighborhood to get a taxpayer-subsidized grocery store.
Yet other than support from two city politicians, officials offered little evidence on Thursday to demonstrate a store would be sustainable.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority authorized a plan to seek proposals from grocery operators who might be interested in opening a store in the closed Sheraden Market on Sheraden Boulevard near Langley Pittsburgh K-8 school.
"I do have major reservations about the likelihood of survivability of a supermarket," said state Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Highland Park. "The approach should be broader than just the notion of a food store."
Ferlo, a URA board member, said he voted in favor of seeking private proposals because the process doesn't cost money.
Four hours before the board met, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith, who represents Sheraden, circulated a news release praising the proposal and predicting the authority would approve it.
"Providing residents with quality, fresh food options in their own community is key to ensuring a neighborhood's strength and potential for growth," Ravenstahl stated.
Kail-Smith did not return a call seeking comment.
Late last year, the URA used a $425,000 community development grant that Kail-Smith, an ally of Ravenstahl's on City Council, provided to buy the shuttered store with 25 parking spaces.
URA Chairman Yarone Zober, Ravenstahl's chief of staff, said the authority generally relies on private grocery operators to determine the economic feasibility of stores.
Zober, a voting URA board member, said he wasn't sure whether the URA conducted a market analysis for the potential Sheraden project. He referred questions to acting Executive Director Robert Rubinstein, who said he would look into the matter.
Zober said the URA relied on outside market studies to determine the viability of a long-delayed Hill District grocery store.
"This isn't about whether or not the URA is going to pay for a grocery store," Zober said. "We don't bring grocery stores places. If a grocery store wants to be somewhere and if a community needs a grocery store, then we can help bring those resources together."
Zober said some grocers have expressed interest in Sheraden, but he wouldn't identify them or say whether they are discount chain grocers. Discount operators, as part of a nationwide trend, have been opening stores in urban neighborhoods that offer few options to buy food.
The URA committed $1 million to the planned $11.5 million Shop 'n Save in the Hill District. Construction was to begin by the end of November, but the site showed no evidence of activity on Thursday. Zober said the project's organizers told him work would start soon.
Roughly $850,000 in state and URA grants and loans last year backed the opening of the Market on Broadway IGA store to replace a shuttered Foodland in Beechview.
"We've done so in Beechview, (the owner is) kind of getting his legs underneath him there, and we're hopeful to do a similar thing of attracting a grocery operator or developer to the Sheraden community," Rubinstein said.

What It Is
What It Is
Kids know what they want, and for the three kid inventors behind Flipoutz, what they wanted was a cool and customizable collectible bracelet line. Flipoutz are customizable, stretchable rubber bracelets with five circular settings into which kids insert nickel-sized, decorated discs. (If you watch ABC's Shark Tank, you may have seen these kids pitching Flipoutz to the panel of millionaires. They received funding from three of the "sharks".) The construction of the bracelet holds each of the discs in place, and when kids want to change up their fashions, all they do is flip out one and replace it with another. There are many different coin styles available, and each is colorful and boldly designed.
Kids can trade coins with friends and even track where their coins go through the website, Flipoutz.com. Every coin is assigned a unique serial number imprinted on the back of the coin. Using this number, the original coin owner can register the coin on Flipoutz.com and create a safe and customized owner profile page and coin profile page. On the coin profile page, owners can describe why this coin is important to them and leave a meaningful message for all future holders of the coin to discover. Then kids trade the coin and set it free to travel their neighborhood, city, state, country, or even the world.
A Flipoutz bracelet comes packaged with one coin and retails for about $5.99. You can purchase more coins via coin two-packs, which retail for about $1.99. As noted there are many different styles, so while kids may have owning the bracelets in common, no two bracelets will ever be the same.
Why It's Fun
There is a vast array of collectible bracelets for kids on the market right now, but Flipoutz offers something new. These sturdy rubber bracelets offer kids customization and self-expression. Kids can express who they are by wearing different coins on the bracelet and by sharing their "coin stories" on the Flipoutz website. Kids will like collecting, trading, and wearing Flipoutz. The reasonable price of the coins, especially, encourages trading and passing on the coins, which is what makes the online tracking method intriguing.
Who It's For
Flipoutz are for ages 6 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Children should seek parental approval before going online. All content on Flipoutz.com is pre-moderated in real time by NetModerator, Crisp Thinking's online threat protection software.

Clerkenwell (/ˈklɑrkənwɛl/) is an area of central London in the London Borough of Islington. It was an ancient parish and from 1900 to 1965 formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. The well after which it was named was rediscovered in 1924. The watchmaking and watch repairing trades were once of great importance.[1] The south-western part of Clerkenwell was once known as London's "Little Italy" because of the large number of Italians living in the area from the 1850s until the 1960s.

Clerks' Well[edit]
Clerkenwell took its name from the Clerks' Well in Farringdon Lane (clerken was the Middle English genitive plural of clerk, a variant of clerc, meaning literate person or clergyman). In the Middle Ages, the London Parish clerks performed annual mystery plays there, based on biblical themes. Part of the well remains visible, incorporated into a 1980s building called Well Court. It is visible through a window of that building on Farringdon Lane. Access to the well is managed by Islington Local History Centre and visits can be arranged by appointment.
Monastic traditions[edit]
The Monastic Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem had its English headquarters at the Priory of Clerkenwell. (The Blessed Gerard founded the Order to provide medical assistance during the crusades.) St John's Gate (built by Sir Thomas Docwra in 1504) survives in the rebuilt form of the Priory Gate. Its gateway, erected in 1504 in St John's Square, served various purposes after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. For example, it was the birthplace of the Gentleman's Magazine in 1731, and the scene of Dr Johnson's work in connection with that journal.
In modern times the gatehouse again became associated with the order and was in the early 20th century the headquarters of the St John Ambulance Association. An Early English crypt remains beneath the chapel of the order, which was otherwise mostly rebuilt in the 1950s after wartime bombing. The notorious deception of the "Cock Lane Ghost", in which Johnson took great interest, was perpetrated nearby.
Adjoining the priory was St Mary's nunnery of the Benedictine order, now entirely disappeared, and St James's Church, rebuilt in 1792 on the site of the original church which was partly of Norman provenance. The Charterhouse, near the boundary with the City of London, was originally a Carthusian monastery. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Charterhouse became a private mansion and one owner, Thomas Sutton, subsequently left it with an endowment as a school and almshouse. The almhouse remains but the school relocated to Surrey and its part of the site is now a campus of Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Fashionable residential area[edit]
In the 17th century South Clerkenwell became a fashionable place of residence. Oliver Cromwell owned a house on Clerkenwell Close, just off the Green. Several aristocrats had houses there, most notably the Duke of Northumberland,[citation needed] as did people such as Erasmus Smith.[2] Before Clerkenwell became a built-up area, it had a reputation as a resort a short walk out of the city, where Londoners could disport themselves at its spas, of which there were several, based on natural chalybeate springs, tea gardens and theatres. The present day Sadler's Wells has survived as heir to this tradition, after being rebuilt many times and many changes of use including pleasure gardens, theatre, aquatic display venue, circus, music hall. Today it is a leading theatre and modern dance venue.
Clerkenwell was also the location of three prisons: the Clerkenwell Bridewell, Coldbath Fields Prison (later Clerkenwell Gaol) and the New Prison, later the Clerkenwell House of Detention, notorious as the scene of the Clerkenwell Outrage in 1867, an attempted prison break by Fenians who killed many in the tenement houses on Corporation Row in trying to blow a hole in the prison wall.
Industrial Revolution[edit]
The Industrial Revolution changed the area greatly. It became a centre for breweries, distilleries and the printing industry. It gained an especial reputation for the making of clocks and watches, which activity once employed many people from around the area. Flourishing craft workshops still carry on some of the traditional trades, such as jewellery-making. Clerkenwell was home to Witherbys, Europe's oldest printing company who have now relocated to North London. The company, which was established in 1740 and whose shareholding is mainly family-held, produces a wide variety of commercial work such as magazines, leaflets, report and accounts, brochures and information packs at its on-site print facility.
Clerkenwell Green[edit]
Clerkenwell Green lies at the centre of the old village, by the church, and has a mixture of housing, offices and pubs, dominated by the imposing former Middlesex Sessions House. It was built in 1782, extended during the Victorian era, and by the early 21st century used as a Masonic hall. The name is something of a historical relic—Clerkenwell Green has had no grass for over 300 years. However, in conveying some impression of its history, it gives the appearance of one of the better-preserved village centres in what is now central London. In Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist, Clerkenwell Green is where Fagin and the Artful Dodger induct Oliver into pickpocketing amongst shoppers in the busy market once held there. Indeed, Dickens knew the area well and was a customer of the Finsbury Savings Bank on Sekforde Street, a street linking Clerkenwell Green to St John Street.
Clerkenwell Green has historically been associated with radicalism, from the Lollards in the 16th century, the Chartists in the 19th century and communists in the early 20th century.[3] In 1902, Vladimir Lenin moved the publication of the Iskra (Spark) to the British Social Democratic Federation at 37a Clerkenwell Green, and issues 22 to 38 were indeed edited there. At that time Vladimir Lenin resided on Percy Circus, less than half a mile north of Clerkenwell Green. In 1903 the newspaper was moved to Geneva. It is said that Lenin and a young Joseph Stalin met in the Crown and Anchor pub (now known as The Crown Tavern) on the Green when the latter was visiting London in 1903. In the 1920s and 1930s, 37a Clerkenwell Green was a venue for Communist Party meetings, and the Marx Memorial Library was founded on the same site in 1933. Clerkenwell's tradition of left-leaning publication continued until late 2008 with The Guardian and The Observer having their headquarters on Farringdon Road, a short walk from the Green. Their new offices are a short distance away in King's Cross. In 2011 an anti-cuts protest march departed from Clerkenwell and ended with a rally at Trafalgar Square demanding trade union rights, human rights and international solidarity.[4]
Local government[edit]
Clerkenwell St James was an ancient parish in the Finsbury division of the Ossulstone hundred of Middlesex.[5] Part of the parish of St James was split off as the parish of St John in 1723. However, for civil matters they remained a single parish. The parish vestry became a nominating authority to the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1855.
Under the Metropolis Management Act 1855 any parish that exceeded 2,000 ratepayers was to be divided into wards; as such the incorporated vestry of St James & St John Clerkenwell was divided into five wards (electing vestrymen): No. 1 (12), No. 2 (15), No. 3 (12), No. 4 (18) and No. 5 (15).[6]
The area of the metropolitan board became the County of London in 1889. A reform of local government in 1900 abolished the Clerkenwell vestry and the parish became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. Alexandra Park, an exclave of the parish, was transferred to Hornsey, Middlesex at the same time.[5] Clerkenwell Town Hall, which had been built on Rosebery Avenue in 1895, became Finsbury Town Hall. Finsbury became part of the London Borough of Islington in 1965 and the old town hall lay empty and deteriorating for many years. It has since been sold to the Urdang Dance Academy.
Post-war de-industrialisation and revival[edit]
After the Second World War Clerkenwell suffered from industrial decline and many of the premises occupied by the engineering, printing publishing and meat and food trades (the last mostly around Smithfield) fell empty. Several acclaimed council housing estates were commissioned by Finsbury Borough Council. Modernist architect and Russian émigré Berthold Lubetkin's listed Spa Green Estate, constructed 1943–1950, has recently been restored. The Finsbury Estate, constructed in 1968 to the designs of Joseph Emberton includes flats, since altered and re-clad.
A general revival and gentrification process began in the 1980s, and the area is now known for loft-living in some of the former industrial buildings. It also has young professionals, nightclubs and restaurants and is home to many professional offices as an overspill for the nearby City of London and West End. Amongst other sectors, there is a notable concentration of design professions around Clerkenwell, and supporting industries such as high-end designer furniture showrooms. It is claimed that the area has the highest concentration of architects and building professionals in the world. Many of London's leading architectural practices have offices in the area.
On 4 November 2010 Prime Minister David Cameron revealed in a speech given in East London that Clerkenwell would form part of a new East London Tech City hub.[7]
Public houses[edit]
Pubs that serve the Smithfield Market meat workers are allowed to open at 5.30 am. These are Nicholson's Brewery's former Art Nouveau gin palace the Fox & Anchor, The Hope, and the Cock Tavern (which is situated under the market itself).
London's first gastropub, the Eagle, opened in Clerkenwell in 1991. The Eagle has been joined by, among others, the Peasant, the Coach and Horses and the Gunmakers and the Green, which as part of a nationwide evolution of the traditional public house have since converted to gastropubs.
It is said that Vladimir Lenin and a young Joseph Stalin met in the Crown and Anchor pub (now known as the Crown Tavern) on Clerkenwell Green when the latter was visiting London in 1903.[8]
The Betsey Trotwood (named after Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield by Charles Dickens) adopted the name in 1983, having previously been the Butcher's Arms.[9]
Clerkenwell is home to some of the best restaurants in London,[10] including St John, a traditional English restaurant, the Spanish/Moroccan restaurant Moro, Bistrot Loubet, the Michelin starred Club Gascon, Café du Marché, the Modern-European Little Bay Restaurant famous for its "Pay what you think it's worth" campaign in 2009 and others contribute to the area's gastronomic reputation.
Clerkenwell is the home of several bars including Smith's of Smithfield and The Slaughtered Lamb. The evening economy is centred on the north side of Smithfield Market (the trading hours are from 4:00 am to 12:00 noon every weekday), with bar customers gathering amidst trucks of carcasses at the all-night meat market, except on Saturdays and Sundays when it is closed.

Emergency workers have set up two shelters in Comanche County to help people affected by power outages caused from the weather.
A mixture of rain and freezing rain pelted the county this afternoon, said Public Information Officer Chris Killmer. About half an inch of ice has accumulated on trees and power lines causing widespread, spotty outages affecting about 5,000 customers, Killmer said.

A road test awaited the Laguna Beach High boys' volleyball team Wednesday, and the Breakers responded with a big win.
Laguna went to Edison to face the Chargers in a nonleague contest, and returned with a 25-19, 25-18, 25-22 sweep. The win put the Breakers, the No. 3 team in CIF Southern Section Division 2, at 5-3.
Edison, a Division 1 team coming off a fourth-place finish (Division 1) at the Orange County Championships which wrapped Monday, fell to 4-9.

- California Interscholastic Federation
The all-time series between the schools is now knotted at 9-9.
Junior opposite Jack Burgi had a team-high 16 kills and senior middle blocker Noah Blanton 12 kills, senior setter JP Wollam had 17 digs, and senior setter Cameron DePfyffer had 23 assists.
"This was a very good team win tonight," Laguna Coach Darren Utterback said. "The boys are continuing to improve in some key spots."
Defending Orange Coast League champion Laguna took its first step toward keeping its title Tuesday by sweeping host Godinez by 25-22, 25-11, 25-18 scores. Blanton finished with 13 kills, senior outside hitter Lucas Capobianco had 14 digs, Wollam 12 digs, and senior Alec Wulff had 30 assists.
"Godinez is a scrappy team that plays with a tremendous amount of pride and effort," Utterback said. "Alec Wulff did a great job for us in his setting debut."
The Breakers visited Saddleback Thursday but the score from the OCL match wasn't available at press time.
Laguna is back in action next Tuesday, hosting Estancia in a 5:30 p.m. league match.
Track & Field
Dana Hills made it a clean sweep Saturday at the 45th edition of the Laguna Beach Trophy Invitational, as the Dolphins won all four divisions (boys' and girls' varsity, boys' and girls frosh/soph) at the day-long event.
Laguna placed second in the varsity girls' division, 10th in varsity boys, seventh in frosh/soph girls, and sixth in frosh/soph boys.
The Breakers are back on the track next Thursday, hosting Calvary Chapel and Estancia in an Orange Coast League tri-meet.
Boys' Golf
The Breakers previously fell to Calvary Chapel and Sage Hill.
Calvary Chapel took a 204-218 league match from Laguna at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley Monday. John Grayden shot a 41 (par 32) to lead the Breakers.
"It's challenging to beat a team on their home golf course," Laguna Coach Scott Finn said. "We are going to have to play better in order to compete for a league championship."
