Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by tics like grimacing, blinking and vocalizations, is normally treated in children and teens with one of several antipsychotic medications. But such drugs usually don't eliminate all the tics, and worse, they can often have side effects, acting as sedatives, causing weight gain and impairing cognitive function.
Now, a multisite study led by a UCLA researcher has developed an effective, non-medication treatment for children and adolescents with Tourette's and related tic disorders that has shown improvement similar to that found in recent anti-tic medication studies.
Lead study author John Piacentini, a UCLA professor of psychiatry and his colleagues at seven sites around the nation found that a specialized form of behavior therapy called comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics, or CBIT, significantly reduced chronic tics and tic-related problems in children and adolescents.
Almost 53 percent of children receiving CBIT were rated as significantly improved, compared with 19 percent of those receiving a comparison treatment, and the degree of improvement with CBIT was similar to that found in recent anti-tic medication studies.
The study appears in the May 19 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Tourette syndrome, which affects approximately six out of every 1,000 children and adolescents, is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics, including eye blinking, facial grimacing, head jerking, throat clearing, sniffing and grunting. Although the repetition of curse words is often portrayed as the defining feature of the syndrome, cursing is an uncommon symptom and is not required for diagnosis of the disorder.
"Besides its physical manifestations, Tourette syndrome can cause a number of other problems," Piacentini said. "It is often associated with other psychiatric p

Simply incredible. Never before have I seen a 3 hour movie that didn't seem
like 3 hours. I read the Lord of the Rings very recently and I was
at how similar Peter Jackson's vision was to my own.
Now about the omissions and alterations. I'm not a crazed fanatic who gets worked up over every little detail. I didn't mind Arwen's inflation and I'm actually glad Tom Bombadil was scrubbed (I felt Tom Bombadil was an unnecessary addition to the book). Despite these minor changes, the screenplay stays extremely close to the book and flows very very well (and the prologue was a nice touch).
The acting was flawless. As I've read many many times in other reviews, McKellen doesn't play Gandalf, he IS Gandalf. Wood, Mortensen, Holm, Astin, everyone was fantastic. My hat's off to Sean Bean who delivers an excellent performance as Boromir, a character who's intentions are good but wrestles with the corrupting power of the Ring. Bean portrays it VERY well. Oh, and Andy Serkis does a PERFECT Gollum voice. It's EXACTLY as I imagined it myself.
The special effects were incredible, the cave troll, the balrog, Gollum, and Sauron's Eye all looked amazing. I was also very impressed by the seamless shrinking of the vertically challenged characters.
What's wrong with this movie? I have no idea... I thought everything was perfect. MY biggest gripe is having to wait an entire year to see The Two Towers!
...I wasn't sure anyone would have ever guessed (except in a 2004
Fangoria magazine article written by Mexican visionary Guillermo del
Toro) that New Zealand native Peter Jackson, the director behind the
"goriest movie ever made" (1992's "Dead Alive"), would have been behind
the epic three-film installment of "The Lord of the Rings" saga, which
include "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001), "The Two Towers" (2002),
and Best Picture Oscar-winner "The Return of the King" (2003).
***Note*** This comment applies to all three movies, as it will be posted at each individual web page.
Not since "Star Wars" has this much hype surrounded films of this magnitude. But I guess such hype exists because J.R.R. Tolkien's books have one of the largest devoted fanbases of any popular reading material. I've never read Tolkien's original books, though several readers as well as fans of the movies have told me such knowledge is not required when viewing "The Lord of the Rings" films. "The Lord of the Rings" is the biggest movie I've ever seen, and there's a whole lot of story, 12+ hours to be exact, and I've spent the last two days viewing the extended versions of all three movies and they are breathtaking. There are many dazzling special effects shots over the course of the trilogy and epic battle sequences to put you in awe (many of which, in my view, do push the limits of the "PG-13" rating), not because it's action but because of how precise Jackson's direction is, and how unflinching the camera becomes when it's time for battle. The rousing, epic score by Howard Shore helps the viewer get "into" Jackson's vision of Middle-earth, and into the characters and on-screen action. Jackson has also breathtakingly transformed his New Zealand homeland into Tolkien's Middle-earth and when you watch these movies, you feel like you're really there, with the rest of its inhabitants. It is also pretty frightening too, with many jump scenes including the frequent and violent battle sequences between our heroes and "The Enemy," who include the brutish Orcs, Moria Orcs, Ringwraiths, and the unreal entity Sauron. And lastly, the cast does much more than bring the action to life, but instead live ("live" is italicized) their parts. Of course, I'm talking about the young Hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin), who come into possession of the ancient One Ring and must journey to the hellish land Mordor to cast the talisman into a river of lava and bring its reign of evil to an end. Along the way, two other Hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), necromancer Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen), warrior Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Boromir (Sean Bean), elf Legalos (Orlando Bloom), and dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) aid them in their quest - together as a "fellowship of the ring." There are also plenty of other fantastic supporting roles from Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith plays a good guy), and Andy Serkis as the voice of the ever-creepy Gollum. I think J.R.R. Tolkien would be proud of Peter Jackson's take on his material, despite comments I've heard his son has made in undermining the director's vision. Someone once called "The Lord of the Rings" the greatest fantasy epic ever made; they were right.
For those of you like myself who are fans of the books of the same
name,you will not be disappointed by this movie. Unlike the animated
versions that have previously been made where much of the story was
condensed either for budgetary constraints or time limits, the
Fellowship of the Ring while it does take a few shortcuts, there are
very few. It is very exciting getting to see places that up until now
have been purely figments of my imagination portrayed by someones elses
imagination on the silver screen. I felt myself holding my breath
waiting to see the various locations of middle earth and how others
have dreamed of them. The movie does a breathtaking job in transporting
the viewer to this other world and does so with magic good enough to be
from the hand of Gandalf himself. Yes, there are places where for
dramatic reasons or to prevent a lengthy historical context that
certain events from the book were either shortened, modified or
changed. These changes however do not change the storyline itself and
makes for a very entertaining movie. I do feel however that if you are
one of the uninitiated, it would serve you to either read the book
before going, or immediately after the film pick up a copy and read it
as it will provide more breadth to the story than what an almost three
hour film can portray. In addition, there are several scenes in the
book that while not central to the main story, add more to the lore of
middle earth and help to explain some of the history leading up to the
time of the story. The characterizations in the film were very well
done and the choices of the actors to play the hobbits were perfect.
While I was somewhat anxious to have Elijah Wood as Frodo and Sean
Astin as Samwise, after seeing how well they were portrayed on film
left me no doubt that these actors did a very admirable job bringing
the characters to life. The majority of the cast has some English
accent which was my main concern. Both the principle American actors
portrayed a passable English type accent themselves which helped
prevent them standing out on their own. How the filmmakers made several
average height men such as Wood and Astin, and probably more so John
Rhys Davies as Gimli appear much smaller than their Elvish or human
companions is spellbinding. Special effects in this movie while at
first don't really seem to be that obvious eventually take on a more
obvious tone as the fellowship moves further into the adventure. As one
would expect from a magical world, many things which we take for
granted from reading the books are very difficult to accurately portray
in a live action presentation. The filmmakers not only did a good job,
they surpassed by far my expectations and truly made the experience an
enjoyable and fulfilling one. As with any film where there will be
sequels coming out, the ending left me longing for December 2002 to
follow our adventurers further on their quest.
I will caution parents who are thinking of taking their children to see this movie that it is not a movie made or intended for children. Much Parental Guidance and forethought should be taken before taking children under 12 to this film. Aside from a film which lasts almost three hours in length where much of the dialogue while important to the story is not well suited to entertain small children. In addition, several of the creatures created for the film will probably terrify younger audiences. If you want to take your children to see this film, I might caution you to view it without them first and then decide to take them on your own judgement. Hey, if you do see it first without them, you can see it again right? I plan on seeing it more than once anyway. All in all, this is a well developed motion picture where a great deal of thought went into it's development and execution. I am thankful to the filmmakers for having the courage to tackle such a well known, well loved story with an audience that has a very well organized preconceived notion of how they view the world of Tolkien. The filmmakers did the book justice and that is the bottom line unlike Bakshi's version of 1978 which was a disappointment at best and unfinished as it's final release turned out to be.

I finally got to see the Lord of the Rings a few days ago in the theatre and I must I was very thrilled see a huge movie of this stature. For months I wanted to see this because of several reasons but the biggest one of them was Christopher Lee! I knew he was going to be awesome in this movie which he was.This cast was great and it was a treat seeing Ian Holm in it aswell.I knew LOTR was going to be one of the greatest movies ever and I just love the scenery in this movie and the special effects were flawless and it has great music by Howard Shore. There was so much in the three hour movie that I can`t explain it all but I will say it has great battles and sword fights,and seeing the variety of character is neat like wizards,trolls,dwarfs,hobbits,elvs,and among other creatures and a awesome prolouge.This in MY opinion ranks up in the greatest of films and this is on MY favorites list now just not fantasy movies like Willow and Legend but other of MY favorites like other great films such The Mummy/The Mummy Returns,Planet of the Apes (2001),Jurassic Park trilogy,Star Wars (all four of them),Gladiator,Terminator 2,Predator,and others.I just can`t wait for the sequels to come.Be sure to get all of the LOTR action figures by Toy Biz and they look great! I was very happy to see this film and I hope everyone gets a chance to see this epic!
I've always loved fantasy and science-fiction novels, and I'm very
grateful for that, since the movie adaptation of The Fellowship of the
Ring is one of the reasons I fell in love with movies (the other
reasons are Spider-Man, Casablanca, The Godfather and Pulp Fiction),
it's so incredibly excellent. Some people refer to the Lord of the
Rings trilogy as my generation's Star Wars (I was 12 when TFOTR was
released), but I actually think it's better than Star Wars, and
basically for one reason: the way director Peter Jackson has brought
Tolkien's beloved classic to the screen.
Jackson has perfectly understood CGI is nothing but a tool that enables the filmmaker to tell stories more easily: while in Star Wars we see dozens of different worlds, which are visually stunning but appear for only a couple of minutes (or seconds), in LOTR everything we see is there to make sure the story goes on. Oh, another important thing too: in this movie, plot and character come first, the visuals are added later. The director takes his time to introduce the various inhabitants of Middle Earth and the chain of events that will change their lives forever. The movie is almost three hours long, so what? It's a story we really care about, and the characters make us feel for them every single moment: we cheer with Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) when he learns he won't have to face his difficult task alone; we laugh with them when Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) make fools of themselves; we cry and worry with them when things start getting bad...
That's probably also the reason for which this movie is superior to its sequels (N.B. I'm talking about the so-called "theatrical versions"): in parts 2 and 3, important moments of character development are ditched in favor of long, breathtaking battles, and the audience knows something's missing. That's not the case of The Fellowship of the Ring: the extended version is better, that's true, but the first movie is the one with the least deleted minutes, and therefore the one that feels less incomplete than the others.
As I said before, Jackson values characters more than effects, and he uses the latter only to tell the story more successfully, so that the world where those people live will look more realistic on screen; now, since the characters are more important, the cast is a crucial element, and luckily the actors chosen for this movie are pure perfection: Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd are career-best as the four hobbits, the most vulnerable members of the Fellowship, therefore the ones we care about the most; Viggo Mortensen is 100% convincing as the conflicted, layered Aragorn; Ian McKellen gives Gandalf the Grey the warmth and wisdom he deserves, and finally, Christopher Lee is just THE only actor who could flawlessly play the Darth Vader-like good-turned-bad Saruman, proving once again he's the N°1 choice when it comes to casting someone as the really bad guy. Like Dracula, he has gloriously resurrected to spread horror another time.
An amazing beginning for an even more amazing trilogy, perhaps the best I've ever had the pleasure to see. Should have won Best Picture of 2001 (as well as Director and Adapted Screenplay).
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them... well, you know the rest!
'The Lord of the Rings' is one of my favorite books, I have read it
times, and remember thinking the last time, about 3 years ago that if I
a film I'd want to make it of this, but wouldn't it be almost impossible.
You can then imagine how strong my expectations were when I went to see
eagerly awaited first installment.
This film impressed me hugely, more than anything else because of how true it was to my imagination, both in the characters as well as in the effects and setting- a sentiment I have heard consistently from other fans of the books. Elijah Wood brought across the character of Frodo with the kind of haunted, frail courage that Tolkien captures so well in the books. Nor could I find any fault at all with Ian McKellan's Gandalf, Viggo Mortensen's Aragorn, and Sean Bean's Boromir, all of whom I thought were portrayed excellently. I could pick out instances where I did think, 'no, that's not right', however their seldomness in number would only serve to illustrate the excellence of the overall portrayal. One thing that did stand out for me was Cate Blanchett's performance as Galadriel, the part itself became so perfunctory in the film that to me her alternation between benevolent seer, and figure of potential terror seemed little more than a slightly confusing detour with no real connection into the plot other than as a vehicle for a glimpse into the future. But that was it.
I thought that the points where Jackson did deviate from the text were completely the correct ones to do so. Shortening the opening Shire scenes and cutting out the whole Tom Bombadil bit was great since frankly they bored me slightly in the book anyway. Also, expanding the role of Arwen was a sensible decision.
However this film is by no means above criticism. The dialogue was in my opinion terrible and purely there to drive on the plot. Normally this would ruin a film for me (as in "The Matrix"), making it almost intolerable to view, however fortunately here it proves little more than a minor irritation. Also, the film seemed overall to be excessively plot-driven and at times a mad dash from one action scene to another, the characters, for all their truth to the book did seem flat and sometimes little more than stereotypical fantasy characters. This is perhaps my major quarrel with the film- I would have liked these characters to have come alive as people in a way that was made impossible by the sparseness of the script and the rollercoaster nature of the plot. In general the whole film lacked the depth of context that I think distinguishes Tolkien from other fantasy writers. However to have achieved this would have required a very different movie, and you can't fault an action film for being an action film.
This movie is undoubtedly not for everyone. A lot of people just don't get fantasy- other than Lord of the Rings, I don't particularly either. However in my opinion Jackson really has made an incredible achievement- his and Tolkien's vision carried through suberbly by a breathtaking setting and stunning special effects, as well as by a cast clearly as enthralled as he was. He has taken on a huge task, and is dealing with it with breathtaking success. Check for other user comments.
When I first read "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy back
in the early 1970's, I recall saying to myself that the story would
make a wonderful movie. "Star Wars" still hadn't come out yet, and
realizing that the available technology could not do justice to the
fantastic world presented by J.R.R. Tolkien, it was simply best left to
the imagination.
Well, imagination has found life in "The Fellowship of the Ring", a truly profound epic that sets the standard for film fantasy, just as the books did for the written word. Upon first seeing it during it's initial release, I couldn't have been happier with the amount of detail it offered while remaining true to the original adventure. Everyone imagines what a story and characters look like in their own mind; it was as if Peter Jackson tapped a great cosmic consciousness to deliver a tale that captured the tone and pacing of the novel dead on.
I feel that readers of the trilogy have a leg up on the characters and locations of Middle Earth, as they are revealed in the film quickly and with nominal explanation. For example, when the Black Riders appear for the first time, it's difficult to grasp what they're all about, other than the fact that they're after the ring. Strider's explanation of the Nazgul is perfect - ring wraiths who were once men, neither alive nor dead, who always feel the power of the ring. Coming to the movie with that understanding ahead of time helps the viewer have a greater appreciation of the action taking place.
The real magic of the movie for me is the seamless manner in which the various races coexist and interact with each other. Though levels of unfamiliarity and distrust appear, can anyone coming out of the movie doubt that elves, dwarfs, hobbits and wizards actually exist. Even orcs and evil Uruk hai have a place in this world, for without the danger they pose there is no triumph.
If the movie captures your imagination and you haven't read the trilogy or it's prequel "The Hobbit", you'll be doing yourself a favor to do so. There in even more exquisite detail are nuances such as Elvish poetry and additional characters that provide more depth and color to the world of Middle Earth. It's a world easy to get lost in, and makes one appreciate a writer of legendary proportion who invented a land, people, and language all of his own that can now be shared with everyone.
If you are reading this review (or indeed any other) trying to assess
whether or not you should watch this film then please read no further
and just go and slip in the DVD (Extended Version) and let the sights
and sounds of Middle Earth wash over you. Nothing I, or indeed anyone
else, can say should help you to form an opinion prior to watching. I
guess the audience for the three films fall into two distinct
categories; those who have read the books and those who have not. Those
who have not, in my experience, tend to be overwhelmed by the absolute
majesty of the vision but a little non-plussed by the actual story -
seeing it as just some rather dopey fantasy; a Star Wars trilogy set in
past times for the modern audience if you like. Then there is the "yes,
I have read the books" class who in general seem to have a kind of smug
arrogance grounded in comments such as "they left out too much", "its
not what I imagined" or "Of course its all an allegory for the rise of
the third Reich".
Tolkein bemoaned the lack of an heroic mythology for the English people and he sought to create one in his Rings trilogy of books. My opinion is too humble to count - but if you want it, I believe he succeeded. The epic backdrop, the heroes and villains, the rich history, the races and the languages are all utterly plausible as a long cherished story handed down over many generations. Peter Jackson and his team must be congratulated not only for their wonderful realisation of Middle Eath and its inhabitants; but for crafting a series a movies that captured the very essence of what Tolkein was trying to achieve.
Well done also for leaving out Tom Bombadil.
Tracking all the making of information leading up to the film, it seemed
like Jackson was doing a great job. The scenery, props, casting, makeup,
effects all seemed beautifully authentic. And in action, they deliver. But
the script (it's always a danger when you see three writers and one of them
is the director) spoils the magic.
It's more than making Arwen's role more significant (and a completely different character) in a blatant attempt to beef up the roles for women. I didn't like that, but women's roles are admittedly sadly lacking in the original story. It's that Jackson puts his clumsy fingerprints all over Tolkien's themes and tells the story from the perspective of Men. Apparently, modern moviegoers need to identify with their race. (Side note: all the critics who say how the movie has preserved the magic of the books probably haven't read them since college.)
The relationship between the four hobbits isn't set up at all in the movie; aside from Frodo the other three hobbits seem thrown into the quest by chance. Rather than being a reluctant, conflicted hero, Frodo is praised by all the other characters but actually does little but squeal, get stabbed, and look on the elves in wonder. Saruman (a lesser character in the fiction who only appears the first book through Gandalf's recollection) takes up far too much time in the movie. And by the end we've seen Sauron's eye so much I wonder there's anything to reveal of the dark lord in the second and third movies. I expected changes, but I fail to see the rationale for many of Jackson's edits--they don't make the story better or the action flow more smoothly.
The Lord of the Rings is an elegiac tale of the passing of magic from the world and of the heroic struggles of those races passing from the world to preserve goodness. In Jackson's eyes, history is told from the perspective of the victors, the Men. Hobbits, who drive the action in the books, are along for the ride while Aragorn, Boromir, et al are the real protagonists in the movie.
I give Jackson full credit for taking on a task of this scale and achieving an epic feel. If only he'd started with a script as good as his scenery.
Whether it was the opening action sequences or the finale, my heart rate
going a mile a minute watching this movie. FOTR did everything every
fantasy film should have done; it had fantastic creatures and beings that
had previously only appeared in my dreams and my imagination. Jackson did
tremendous job making tangible what I previously had to visualize by
the books.
Without getting too specific and spoiling the ending, my only critique of
the movie was that it was a little anti-climatic. Then again, the book
also anti-climatic because it was the first part of a trilogy.
I would also like to comment about how many people have compared Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to this film. My advice is to see them both, don't compare them, and enjoy the each as the great stories they are.
This is one of those movies that I will watch over and over again and never get tired of. It wasn't boring. It didn't lack action. It wasn't overhyped. The acting was good. And those that said it had too many "Scenery" shots should consider Doctor Zhivago...it was 4 hours of trains and snow, but still a classic! Give this movie a shot, and enjoy it for what it is; the visualization of a classic tale.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: universities
This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Many sites have a link to view the repository such as:

however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.

The Real Madrid centre back has excelled of late, prompting calls for him to start for his country.
Deschamps said: "At some point he will have to start a game. Given his performances with Real, I'm not worried, although playing an international game with France is still another level. I think he can meet expectations."

"I was completely surprised, and the funniest thing about that is that I consider myself someone impossible to surprise and yet I am constantly," the Girls star, 25, told Late Night host and good friend Seth Meyers as she showed off her huge and sparkling engagement ring.
"I'm obsessed with it. I stare at it a lot," a giddy Williams, who has said she dreams of becoming a mom, shared of the rock. "We're thrilled."
While she offered up no details of how the proposal went down, Williams said the weight of making such a huge life decision definitely is a game-changer.
"It feels a little different, as you know," she told Meyers, who got married last September. "It just changes the stakes clearly. It's really fun."
It's also changed how Williams, a consummate fan of television's The Bachelor, watches her fave show.
"Suddenly the show feels real," she said. "I have empathy. I was filled with anxiety for all of the contestants."
The Bachelor's showrunners apparently acknowledged her support: Williams said the show sent her a bouquet of a dozen roses on Valentine's Day with the appropriate message, "Will you accept these roses?"

For Immediate Release: 3/5/2004 9:21:00 AM
|Montgomery County Website Wins Another National Award; MuniNet Guide Designates County as a 2003 Top Pick
Montgomery County's web site – www.montgomerycountymd.gov – has been designated as a "Top Pick" of 2003 by MuniNetGuide.com, a leading national web site covering municipal-related content on the Internet.
"The internet has been a fantastic tool for helping Montgomery County reach out to our residents and businesses and provide better service," said Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan. "Recently, we gave our website a new look, feel and design to make it even easier to use. It's a great honor to be recognized for our efforts, and I hope more residents will visit the website to take advantage of the information available."
MuniNet selected 14 websites based on their comprehensiveness, the opportunities for interaction between residents and government, and the quality of the information provided. MuniNet described Montgomery County's site as having "a comprehensive web portal that provides one-stop shopping for news, information and County services." They noted that the "site's efficient design complements its focus on customer service by offering visitors many intuitive routes to locate specific content along with an impressive variety of e-government services." MuniNet particularly liked the site's County Services Locator, the ability to pay library overdue fees or reserve a baseball field, as well as the helpful InfoTip (and archives) on the site's home page.
"This recognition is wonderful. We have strived to offer the best portal and on-line services possible to our citizens and are constantly trying to improve our offerings," said Montgomery County Department of Technology Services Director Alisoun Moore. "We like to be innovative and forward thinking in our technology initiatives and set a pace that is ahead of the curve. This mindset allows us to be fresh and responsive to our citizens in the services we offer for their convenience. Its great to be recognized as a national leader in technology."
MuniNetGuide.com is an online guide and directory to web sites for state, county and local governments and other municipal-related matters.
"Whereas in the past, we've recognized sites for having it all – content and style – this year, we found several sites that were really awe-inspiring," said Mardee Alvaro, who has been editor of MuniNet Guide since its inception in 1996.
"The comprehensiveness of content, a focus on citizens as valued customers, and the overall sophistication of municipal and related web sites have all risen to new levels, over the past year, Alvaro said. "And, those sites that stand out among their peers offer something beyond the ordinary."

Arts Garage Presents A Musical Bio of Judy Garland
The legendary entertainer Judy Garland once said, "My history of my life is in my songs."
"Beyond the Rainbow: Garland at Carnegie Hall," a musical opening this weekend at Delray Beach's Arts Garage, features 24 of Garland's greatest hits, including "Get Happy," "That's Entertainment," "The Trolley Song," and of course, "Over the Rainbow," to offer an unforgettable musical portrait of the child star who captivated a nation.
The show, written by William Randall Beard with musical arrangements by David Lohman, uses Garland's landmark 1961 concert at New York City's Carnegie Hall as the setting for the musical, which was premiered by St. Paul's History Theatre in 2002 and debuted locally by Florida Stage in 2006.
But, points out Arts Garage's Artistic Director of Theatre Lou Tyrrell, the production actually makes use of two Judys: One on the stage at Carnegie Hall (Jody Briskie) and the young girl in her mind (Nora Long) as she relives the most tumultuous moments of her career.
"From Hollywood child star to the icon who gave it all on the stage of Carnegie Hall, we felt that her triumphs and tragedies were our own, and we embraced her as if she were a member of our own family.... It's the story and the music of an era to be cherished and savored," says Tyrrell.
Woven into Garland's concert performance are the specters of her past, including her late mother and father, husbands, friends, co-workers and critics who dart in and out of her consciousness, as portrayed by three supporting actors.
Tyrrell credits Beard with a theatrical portrait that avoids many of the stereotypes and caricatures that cloud contemporary memories of the performer.

Permit me a bit of family pride. My "other" family, that is. This Hanukka is a
special occasion for the writers and staff of The Jerusalem Post. The paper
marks its 80th anniversary this week, a cause for celebration any time – and
something that seems close to miraculous given the current crisis in the media
worldwide.The Post crossed my threshold long before I stepped into its
editorial offices in the Israeli capital. Preparing for our aliya in London in
the 1970s, my family subscribed to The International Jerusalem Post, then a
black-and-white newsletter printed on flimsy paper. Reading it, we felt like
members of a secret underground movement. It gave me an idea of how desperate
people around the world are to receive a reliable picture of what is going on in
this tiny but special country. Probably no place on earth receives a similar
amount of media attention and yet is so hard to understand.After 24
years at the Post, the last 10 of them as editor of the (now bigger and more
aesthetically appealing) International Edition, I appreciate even more not only
the efforts of the staff to put out the paper under often difficult conditions,
but also the dedication of the readers.The one thing this country
doesn't lack is news, and readers have stuck by us when the news has been good
and, sadly more often, when it has been bad.I used to have a sign above
my desk which read "Another deadline, another miracle." I don't know where it
went, but I'm sure whoever has it now can equally relate to the
sentiment.I am frequently asked "How do you choose what to write about
in your columns?" And the answer is: "With difficulty." While most columnists
I've met abroad admit to occasional writer's block for lack of inspiration, I
usually suffer from of a bottleneck of possible ideas all struggling to get out
and onto paper – and to be launched into cyberspace via the JPost website. Just
think back over the news of the past month – missile attacks, a military
operation, a cease-fire and a bombing. Actually that was just one day; a day I
was on deadline. That was followed by the General Assembly vote making the
status of the Palestinians at the UN comparable to that of the Vatican (a column
that almost writes itself, with the help of a judicious exclamation mark); then
there was the decision to further construction plans in the area between
Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adumim and the international condemnation that predictably
followed. (It apparently ruins the chances to get back to the negotiating table,
if you ignore the fact that the status of Ma'aleh Adumim, according to most
Israelis, is less negotiable than the final status of a Palestinian state). And,
of course, there are the political lists and twists leading up to next month's
elections.Sderot Mayor David Buskila once told me: "I'd love to be the
sort of mayor who handles normal problems like garbage, sewage and education"
instead of dealing with the security situation caused by the Kassam attacks from
Gaza. Having been the Post's environment reporter for 10 years, I can relate to
that. I could – in better times – dedicate these lines to the promise by
Transportation Minister Israel Katz to champion a ban on horse-drawn carts in
conditions in which animal abuse is almost built in.For five years, I
held a unique beat I called "MKs and other animals," covering the Knesset as
well as the environment.My various beats have offered me several surreal
experiences. Breakfast with president Ezer Weizman and environment minister
Yossi Sarid on top of the Hirya landfill (long before it was converted into a
park and environmental education and recycling center) sticks in my mind, partly
because of the choice of a Dixieland band to provide the background
music.I frequently dine out on the story of my supper at the Royal
Palace in Amman – one of the many occasions I saw firsthand how King Hussein
truly believed in peace. I talk less often about being stood up by a queen, but
the day during Operation Grapes of Wrath in April 1996 when the Danish monarch
canceled her meeting with a small group of Israeli journalists as we waited
outside the palace gates was a clear indication that the feeling among European
Union member states had infectiously turned against Israel.As what was
grandly known as a "social affairs columnist," I shared many meals with the
powerful and famous, from premiers and presidents to Hollywood stars (at least
one of whom was so anorexic that to call it "sharing" would be
generous).I have also met the man who seems to be the name-dropper's
favorite, at least everywhere outside the Chinese republic: the Dalai Lama. In
what wags dubbed the Sermon on the Southern Mount, another surreal moment, I
watched the Buddhist spiritual leader deliver a speech at dawn from the top of a
mountain near Eilat, from where he noted you could see Israel, Jordan, Egypt and
Saudi Arabia. This showed, in his words as far as I remember them, "that borders
are not important – unless they are with China."I have been able to mix
business with pleasure on many occasions – particularly during two trips to
Taiwan, the "other Chinese republic."But anybody who wants to know how
the world can shun a small, successful democracy because of diplomatic and
economic interests should read up on the Taiwanese example.Possibly my
most dangerous mission was trying to cross the road in Cairo (Israeli drivers
are mild-mannered in comparison), although my life passed before my eyes shortly
after I arrived with an Israeli delegation in the Sultanate of Oman. (I went to
cover the multilateral talks on water which took place after the Oslo Accords
but were within the framework of the Madrid Peace Process.) As I left the
shower, wearing only a bathrobe, Omani security personnel armed with guns and
ceremonial curved daggers burst into my room. Apparently, hotel staff had
decided to move me to a room slightly separated from the male journalists but
had neglected to tell the security detail. I nearly died of fright and they
nearly died of embarrassment – the result was they became even more protective
of me, the only female journalist traveling on an Israeli passport in the entire
Gulf at the time.I have witnessed truly joyous events – including the
peace talks and treaty with Jordan; and the hauntingly sad, such as the funerals
of terror victims and the lying in state of Yitzhak Rabin, whom I had come to
know (although not always admire) as parliamentary reporter.I've had a
chance to meet and learn from a huge variety of people.Among those who
stick in my mind are writer Haim Gouri, who shared much wisdom when I
interviewed him for the Post's 60th anniversary supplement, and Rabbi She'ar
Yashuv Cohen, whom I interviewed for the 80th anniversary. Perhaps the person
who left the most lasting impression was also the most humble: Osnat Barnett, a
young woman with Down syndrome who stressed that everybody has feelings,
everybody deserves respect, and everybody has something to give.And so
many people have given so much. Looking back at the past 80 years of history
contained in The Jerusalem Post's archives, I am struck not only by what we –
the people and the paper – have survived, but also what we have achieved. As I
said, permit me to express my pride, and gratitude. It's definitely cause for
celebration this Hanukka, the holiday when we recall the miracle of
survival.The writer is editor of The International Jerusalem

USA Today tried to start a squabble on the top of Wednesday's front page with the headline "Grammar slammers: Dems crush GOP." Paul Singer's article began: "Yes, these are fighting words, but here goes: Republicans mangle the English language at twice the rate of Democrats."
Here's the interesting part: the ratings were calculated by measuring positive comments – and filtering the negative ones out. Then they took a random sample of comments, looking for errors like bad punctuation or misspellings. Another grammar website denounced Grammarly as a terrible grammar hammer.

" Occupy Chicago Marches on City Hall Demands to Speak to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Roughly 150 protesters with Occupy Chicago stormed City Hall Wednesday demanding to assert their "First Amendment rights" with Mayor Rahm Emanuel…but to no avail.
The brash Emanuel — who once sent a "Sicilian message" in the form of a putrid, decomposed fish to a pollster who irritated him; threatened former British Prime Minister Tony Blair not to "f–ck this up;" and knifed a dinner table in concert with rattling off names of sworn enemies — must have stowed away his confrontational side for the day. The Windy City mayor did not emerge to meet the protesters even once during their one-hour-long demonstration. Marketers struggle to harness social media like Facebook & twitter: IBM Survey.
LONDON: Marketing chiefs feel overwhelmed by the growing volume of customer data on websites like Facebook and Twitter, and while they realise its potential value they consider themselves ill-equipped to harness it, an IBM study found. Only 26 percent of chief marketing officers track blogs and just 40 percent track any online communications, while 82 percent still rely on traditional market research to shape marketing strategies, according to the study. A few top consumer brands, such as Coca-Cola , Nike and Starbucks -- are using high-profile social media campaigns to great effect to find out what their customers want and to communicate with them. But most CMOs are struggling to prove that investments in social media marketing would yield returns, according to the survey of more than 1,700 CMOs published on Tuesday and carried out in face-to-face interviews from February to June.

After the riots across England last month, social network chiefs from Facebook and Twitter, along with representatives from Research in Motion, attended a UK parliamentary committee yesterday to discuss the role of social media and technology during the week of violence.
Research in Motion drew heavy criticism by politicians and the public, as it was discovered that the encrypted BlackBerry Messenger network was used by rioters to spread locations of places where disorder eventually occurred. Facebook and Twitter were also criticised during the aftermath of the riots, but Facebook said that many of its users "self-policed" the site. Twitter, on the other hand, was defiant and said that the "tweets must flow", a point it made during the Arab Spring uprising earlier this year. (Source: BBC) His evidence did not cover, however, whether the company would hand over instant messenger logs or its encryption keys to the police or intelligence services.

IMF Wants US Debt Ceiling Raised Immediately.
The June 20th report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the United States strongly recommended that the debt ceiling be raised because "if the debt ceiling is not raised soon…[it] would have significant global repercussions, given the central role of U.
S. Treasury bonds in world markets. " In announcing the report, John Lipsky (picture, left), acting managing director for the IMF, said: We're confident that the participants are well aware of the potential risks of a debt default in the U. S. and will avoid those dangers. China Says It Will Bail Out Insolvent European Countries. As expected, China is the new IMF.
No surprise there. All this means is that China will do everything in its power to prevent the ECB from launching an outright unsterilized monetization episode, which will double the amount of importable inflation (plunging EUR) to hit the Chinese domestic economy, and destabilize the already shaky stability, so critical for the Chinese communist party. And since the USD and the CNY are pegged, this has the added benefit of devaluaing the CNY instead even more if not against the USD, then against the CNY, which is now importing European sovereign risk and will continue to do so, until China finds itself in the same lock out as half of Europe currently.
