PFT Live: Montana says Moss is no Rice
Josh Norman grabs Odell Beckham, Giants grab lead
All of the focus on cornerbacks in Washington was on Josh Norman this week, but the loss of the other starter for the Redskins is a big story in the early minutes at the Meadowlands.
We'll see if it winds up being bigger than Norman.
Norman and Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham got a pre-game talk from officials, but there was a little moment between them early. Norman grabbed a jumping Beckham in what would look like a hug if not for the history between the two players and then carried him a few steps before returning him to the ground. No flag was thrown.
Bashaud Breeland had to be helped off the field on a Giants scoring drive and is being called questionable to return by the team due to a lower leg injury. Breeland was hurt on a 12-yard gain by rookie wideout Sterling Shepard that came one play before running back Shane Vereen scored from a yard out to give the Giants a 7-0 lead.
The Giants were set up in great field position after Quinton Dunbar made contact with a punt and the Giants fell on top of the ball. Replays showed Dunbar getting pushed into the ball, but officials made no call and the ruling is not reviewable under current NFL rules.
The Redskins answered with a field goal on their first offensive possession and the score is 7-3 with 9:35 to play in the first quarter.
Dolphins strike first on Parker TD
The Dolphins have taken a 7-0 lead on the Browns on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Tannehill to DeVante Parker.
The teams traded turnovers to start. Tannehill threw a bad interception to former Dolphin Jamar Taylor, who read it the whole way and jumped a slant route. But the Browns came out and took a delay of game before actually getting a snap off, then on third down rookie quarterback Cody Kessler was sacked and fumbled.
Cameron Wake recovered at the Dolphins 39, and the Dolphins scored five plays later.
The Browns came out on their second drive using ex-quarterback turned wide receiver Terrelle Pryor at quarterback. The Browns missed a field goal.
DeSean Jackson, others raise fist during anthem at Meadowlands
Giants linebacker Keenan Reynolds and running back Rashad Jennings said this week that there's been discussion among their teammates about the national anthem protests that have been going on around the league this season and how players on the team can "appropriately and effectively" make their point.
Giants coach Ben McAdoo said he had spoken to some of the players as well and said that he would "encourage them" to use their platform to make a difference, although he thought it could be done without involving the anthem. It seems his players agreed with him as the Giants stood for the anthem as they did the first two weeks of the season without any players raising fists.
The Redskins sideline was a bit different. All members of the team stood during the song, but multiple reports said wide receiver DeSean Jackson, tight endNiles Paul, cornerback Greg Toler and wide receiver Rashad Ross raised their fists while it played.
Odell Beckham fined $36,000 for blindside hit on Kenny Vaccaro
To the extent that the officials and the league office already were planning to keep an eye on receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Sunday against arch-nemesis Josh Norman, they'll likely be watching him even more closely based on something that happened a week ago.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the NFL fined Beckham $36,000 for a blindside block on Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro.
That's halfway between the first-offense fine of $24,000 and second-offense fine of $48,000, with Beckham's history surely a factor in the increase over what would be the fine for a first-time blindside block.
Cam Newton wears T-shirt with MLK Jr. quote in pregame warmups
Some have criticized him for not saying enough, others have praised him for striking the right tone. And plenty will surely be reacting to Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's choice of pregame attire.
Via USA Today, Newton T-shirt has on the back a famous quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," the quote reads.
Newton likely will be asked about the issue again after the game, win or lose. Protests are happening outside the stadium following the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott by police in Charlotte earlier this week, but so far there are no signs that the protests will become disruptive or violent.
Early-season ratings drop a "huge concern" for NFLPA
The NFL has opted to keep a stiff upper lip and a stoic demeanor regarding the alarming early-season decline in TV ratings, specifically for prime-time games. The NFL Players Association is opting not to pretend that all is well.
"This is a huge issue for us obviously," NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said on Friday's PFT Live. "We spend a lot of time looking at trends. I was thrilled to see the game being streamed on Twitter. We're interested about where media is going. Viewership is an important issue, stadium attendance is a very important issue to us. So as we look forward knowing that there are a couple of television contracts that are going to come up. I think it is smart for us to look at the impact of whether fans are watching on TV or not."
A decline in TV viewership won't be a factor until after the current TV contracts expire, assuming there isn't a renegotiation before the existing deals expire after the 2022 season.
"I'm sure there after people at the networks who are trying to figure out whether or not there's going to be labor peace in 2021 and how that affects the TV contracts that they're entering into," Smith said.
That definitely will be a factor, especially if the NFL tries to extend the TV deals before the current labor deal expires. Beyond labor peace, however, the balance between revenue from traditional broadcast networks, cable outlets, and Internet companies will be a challenge for the NFL to balance as it tries to maximize revenue, to maintain a large audience for prime-time games, and to avoid potential scrutiny of the federal government, which could be inclined to strip the league of its broadcast antitrust exemption if a sufficient number of games aren't easily available to the millions of Americans who still rely on rabbit ears to capture the TV signals floating in the ether.
Report: Terrelle Pryor could see snaps at quarterback
The Browns added Charlie Whitehurst as a backup quarterback behind Cody Kessler this week, but they may avail themselves of another option against the Dolphins.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Terrelle Pryor could see "limited snaps" at quarterback for the Browns, who have lost Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown to injuries in the first two weeks. Pryor, who said he was willing to do anything and everything up to dying on the field when asked about playing quarterback this week, entered the league as a quarterback with the Raiders in 2011 and also spent time with the Bengals last year before he made the shift to wide receiver with Cleveland.
Browns head coach Hue Jackson was the Raiders coach in 2011 and he was the Bengals offensive coordinator last year, so he's gotten close looks at Pryor playing the position in the past.
The Browns are also missing wide receiver Corey Coleman, so Pryor should have plenty of work at receiver during the game in Miami whether he also takes snaps at quarterback or not.
Chris Ivory active for Jags, Elvis Dumervil out again for Ravens
Linebacker Elvis Dumervil returned to practice for the Ravens this week, but his return to the lineup for game action will have to wait a little bit longer.
Dumervil was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report and has been declared inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Dumervil, who had foot surgery in the offseason, was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but did not practice on Friday.
Left tackle Ronnie Stanley was also listed as questionable, but he's active for Sunday's game. Offensive lineman John Urschel is inactive after drawing the same designation.
Running back Chris Ivory will make his regular season debut for the Jaguars after missing the first two games with a "general medical issue" that forced him to be hospitalized. Cornerback Prince Amukamara, center Brandon Linder and defensive end Jared Odrick are all inactive after being listed as questionable.
Left tackle Kelvin Beachum was ruled out due to the concussion he suffered last week, so the Jaguars will move Luke Joeckel from left guard back to his former position. Tyler Shatley starts at center and Chris Reed will take over at guard.
Joe Haden inactive due to groin injury
A groin injury that made cornerback Joe Haden a late addition to the Browns' extensive injury report on Friday will keep Haden out of Sunday's game at Miami.
The Browns list Tramon Williams as the starter in place of Haden. The Browns will also be without starting safety Ibraheim Campbell, wide receiver Corey Coleman, center Cameron Erving, defensive end Carl Nassib and quarterback Josh McCown.
Rookie Cody Kessler starts at quarterback. Rookie Derrick Kindred will start at safety.
Injuries limited Haden to five games last season. He had two interceptions last week.
Hamstring keeping Delanie Walker out vs. Raiders
Titans Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker will not play in Sunday's game vs. the Raiders.
Walker missed two days of practice this week with a hamstring injury, and the team was waiting until Sunday morning to make a final call after listing him as questionable.
Walker has nine catches for 125 yards and a touchdown over the first two games.
The Titans list Anthony Fasano, Phillip Supernaw and Jace Amaro, in that order, on their unofficial depth chart behind Walker.

Lions expect Ameer Abdullah to miss the rest of the season
The Lions have lost their starting running back for the year.
Ameer Abdullah, who was placed on injured reserve this week with a torn ligament in his left foot, is not expected to return this season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The NFL's new injured reserve rule would allow the Lions to declare in six weeks that Abdullah will return, but the Lions don't think he'll be healthy in time for the Lions to use the return designation on him.
Abdullah was off to a good start this season, with 18 carries for 101 yards and five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. The Lions' offense struggled after Abdullah's injury against the Titans, but they'll be counting on Theo Riddick, Dwayne Washington and Zach Zenner to step up to replace Abdullah.
Chargers-Colts creating strange dynamics in Las Vegas
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. And that's apparently triggering some unusual dynamics regarding the betting line for the game.
The contest has gone from Indianapolis being a three-point favorite to a pick-'em proposition. In some locations, the three-point swing was preceded by the game being taken off the board.
So maybe Vegas knows something about Luck that the rest of us don't, yet.
For now, and given the general proposition that home-field advantage is worth three points, the Chargers would be a three-point favorite on a neutral site — and San Diego would be a six-point favorite at home against the Colts.
Apart from Luck's health, the Chargers have owned the Colts during the Philip Rivers era. If Vegas didn't realize that earlier in the week, it apparently knows it now.
No issues for Panthers, Vikings getting to stadium
The Panthers and Vikings are set to play in Charlotte on Sunday after a week that saw violence erupt in the city in the aftermath of the police shooting of Keith Scott.
There were reports on Sunday morning that protestors had plans to try to stop the teams from getting to the stadium by disrupting traffic on the roads to Bank of America Stadium, but it looks like those attempts failed to materialize or just failed. Multiple reports state buses for both teams made it to the stadium without incident.
In addition to trying to stop the teams, there's also been word of plans to interfere with fans getting to the game.
Citing those reports that there would be attempts to disrupt the game, the city declared the game an "extraordinary event." That allows for expanded law enforcement "in order to provide a safe and secure environment." David Newton of ESPN.com shared pictures of some of the new security measures in place for Sunday's game.
DeAngelo Williams is 63 yards from setting a record he may not want
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams doesn't like being told that he's old. If he continues his run of early-season success on Sunday, he'll be hearing it a lot more.
With 63 yards rushing against the Eagles, Williams will become the oldest player in NFL history to rush for 300 yards in his first three games, breaking a mark currently held by the late Walter Payton.
Williams has bristled on multiple occasions at references to his age (33), even though he acknowledges that he's still going strong three years past the tailback witching hour because he was part of a committee for years in Carolina.
If they had used him as extensively as the Steelers currently do, Williams wouldn't be a 33-year-old running back right now. He'd be a 33-year-old former running back.

The contemporary classic the New York Times Book Review called "a thought-provoking [and] perceptive guide," Who Wrote the Bible? by Richard E. Friedman is a fascinating, intellectual, yet highly readable analysis and investigation into the authorship of the Old Testament. The author of Commentary on the Torah, Friedman delves deeply into the history of the Bible in a scholarly work that is as exciting and surprising as a good detective novel. Who Wrote the Bible? is enlightening, riveting, an important contribution to religious literature, and as the Los Angeles Times aptly observed in its rave review, "There is no other book like this one."

Drivers and export performance impacts of IT capability in 'born-global' firms: a cross-national study
An earlier version of this paper appeared in the ICIS Proceedings in 2007. The authors thank the attendees of the session, especially Huseyin Tanriverdi and the discussant, Leiser Silva, for their constructive comments. The authors also greatly appreciate the inputs and encouragement of the Senior Editor, Robert Davison and the review team for this paper at the Information Systems Journal.
Past research focusing on large firms has argued that information technology (IT) capability enhances firm performance. However, these studies have seldom explored why firms develop IT capability, and have also left a void the understanding of the role of IT capability in Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study attempts to fill that void by examining the effect of relevant environmental and firm-level factors on IT capability, and the effect of IT capability on the export performance of Chinese and US born-global firms, a special breed of export-focused SMEs. Results indicate that environmental factors such as information intensity, and firm-level factors such as international entrepreneurial orientation, prompt born-global firms to develop IT capability. Further, our results also strongly emphasise the positive role that IT capability plays on the performance of born-global firms. Finally, a comparative analysis of the Chinese and US born-global firms revealed a lack of a cross-cultural difference in the factors leading these firms to develop IT capability, therefore supporting the 'convergence' perspective in cross-cultural research.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/772,334 which was filed on Jul. 2, 2007, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,600,376. This application is incorporated by reference herein for all it discloses.
Modern hybrid vehicles may use either various forms of energy in addition to combustion engines for additional power and energy storage. The most well know hybrid cars are electronic hybrids that incorporate batteries which store electrical energy. Energy wasted during braking may be converted into electrical power and stored in these batteries, which then may be used to when the hybrid car is accelerating. Such hybrids are commercially available and generally get better gas mileage than cars of generally the same weight and horsepower.
Also known in the patent art are hydraulic hybrids which operate on a similar concept to the electrical hybrids. An example of a hydraulic hybrid is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,098,083 to Carman, which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains. The patent discloses a hydraulic multi-speed, multi-torque transmission system for vehicles for storing and converting energy resulting from braking of the vehicle, such transmission utilizing multiple fixed displacement hydraulic pump-motors coupled to the vehicle wheels and a fixed displacement pump driven by the engine. Carman discloses that the accumulators are used to store hydraulic energy. These accumulators use compressible gas to store the potential energy of the hydraulic system and to force to the hydraulic fluid into pump-motors.
Another type of hybrid described in the patent art is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,356 to Gill, which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains. It discloses an energy recovery system for a machine, and particularly an automotive vehicle, which includes an energy storage device which selectively receives energy from the prime mover for storage via a predetermined path and delivers stored energy to the prime mover load via the same path. In the preferred embodiment the energy storage device is an elastomeric tube which is disposed for rotational movement about a shaft and secured at the ends to respective end members. Braking units permit selective braking and releasing of the end members relative to fixed supports. A set of planet gears are controlled by the brake actuation to drive a sun gear to be driven by a ring gear to effect energy inflow and outflow, respectively, from the elastomeric tube. The storage device is permitted to store energy or release its stored energy as a function of vehicle control and operational parameters.
In one aspect of the present invention, an energy storage system has an elastic hydraulic fluid vessel with an internal variable volume and being coupled to a hydraulic rotary mechanism. The elastic hydraulic fluid vessel has an elastic material adapted to store a potential energy within its fibers when the internal volume is increased by a hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic rotary mechanism is adapted to be accelerated by the release of the potential energy of the fibers of the elastic vessel by ejecting the hydraulic fluid from the internal variable volume into the rotary mechanism.
In some embodiments, the hydraulic rotary mechanism inflates the elastic fluid vessel. The vessel may be bladder, a hose, or a combination thereof. The elastic material may a composite material, Kevlar, polyurethane, polyethylene, Twaron, aramid fiber, nylon, rubber, carbon, synthetic polymers, chloroprene, or a combination thereof. The elastic material may be a woven fiber or the material may comprise a plurality of strips. In some embodiments, the elastic vessel is inflatable to over 1,000 psi; in other embodiments, the vessel is inflatable to over 5,000 psi.
An actuator may be adapted to increase the pressure within the vessel, such as an expandable element positioned within the vessel. In some embodiments, a rigid element may be disposed within the elastic vessel. The rigid element may comprise a low pressure hydraulic volume or fluid conduit.
The rotary mechanism may comprise a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor may comprise a cam shaft, turbine, lobed rotor, or a combination thereof. The rotary mechanism may comprise a pump, such as a variable displacement pump. The present invention may incorporate non-compressible hydraulic fluid, compressible hydraulic fluid, or a combination thereof.
In another aspect of the present invention, an energy storage system for a translatable vehicle has an elastic fluid vessel coupled to the translatable vehicle. The elastic vessel has stored potential energy in a form of pressurized fluid expanding a volume of the elastic vessel. The vessel is in fluid communication with a rotary mechanism adapted to rotate at least one translation assembly of the vehicle, wherein when the pressurized fluid is released from the vessel by ejecting the pressurized fluid into the rotary mechanism, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and adapted to rotate a portion of the translation assembly.
The translatable vehicle may be a car, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, 3-wheeler, 4-wheeler, golf cart, backhoe, bulldozer, construction machinery or a combination thereof. The elastic vessel may be a hose, a bladder or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the hose may be incorporated into a rigid frame of the vehicle. In some embodiments, a rigid element may be disposed within the elastic vessel. In some embodiments, the vessel may be at least part of a frame of the vehicle. The elastic vessel may be made of a composite material, Kevlar, polyurethane, polyethylene, Twaron, aramid fiber, nylon, rubber, or a combination thereof.
The vehicle may comprise a pump adapted to pressurize the elastic vessel. The translation assembly may be adapted to pump fluid into the vessel. Each translation assembly may be associated with an independent mechanical transmission. The rotary mechanism may comprise a hydraulic motor. The rotary mechanism may comprise a pump. The pump may be a variable displacement pump. The rotary mechanism may comprise a mechanical transmission.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for propelling a translatable vehicle comprises providing an elastic fluid vessel coupled to the translatable vehicle, the elastic vessel comprising stored potential energy in a form of pressurized fluid expanding a volume of the elastic vessel; the vessel also being in fluid communication with a rotary mechanism adapted to control a rotational speed of a portion of at least one translation assembly of the vehicle; and rotating the portion of the at least one translation assembly by ejecting pressurized fluid into the rotary mechanism from the elastic fluid vessel.
The method may further include the step of automatically roll-starting an engine of the vehicle while the portion of the at least one translation assembly is rotating. The method may further include the step of automatically turning off the engine while the rotational speed of the portion of the translation assembly decelerates. The pressurized fluid may be used to cool the engine. The elastic vessel may be re-pressurized during braking.
Referring to the exploded diagram in
In the embodiment illustrated in
The vehicle 100 may comprise an engine 104 connected to the frame 103. The engine 104 may be a small, efficient engine to reduce size and weight, thus saving gas per mile. The vehicle 100 may also comprise a cab 105 attached to the frame 103. Energy conversion devices or translation assemblies 106 such as wheels may be connected to the frame 103.
The elastic vessel 101 is adapted to receive hydraulic fluid and stores energy in the form of potential energy. The potential energy is stored in the material of the elastic vessel 101 as its volume expands due to receiving hydraulic fluid. The potential energy stored in the vessel 101 may be converted into kinetic energy by ejecting the fluid from the vessel 101 into a rotary mechanism, which may then apply torque to at least a portion of the translation assembly 106.
Each energy conversion device or translation assembly 106 may be connected to a manifold 200 at each corner of the vehicle, as in the embodiment of
A rigid element 209 may be disposed within the elastic vessel 101. The rigid element 209 may be a fluid conduit wherein a low pressure hydraulic fluid may be allowed to circulate through the rigid element 209 while a high pressure hydraulic fluid may be allowed to circulate through the elastic vessel 101 at the same time. The high and low pressure fluids may be used to control the rotation of the translation assembly 106. The vessel 101 and fluid conduit 209 may be in fluid communication with each other through a fluid passageway 210 formed in the manifold 200 which can provide access to various annular channels formed into the outer surface of the rotary mechanism 206.
Referring also to
The swashplate 300 may be controlled by high and low pressure fluids from first and second annular channels 303, 304 connected by a channel 400 that substantially runs vertically proximate the swashplate, depending on the direction of flow of high pressure fluid against a protruding member 401 within a central bore 402 in the swashplate 300. The rotary mechanism 206 may be designed such that varying the position of the swashplate 300 up or down against the cylindrical component 302 also changes the angle of the piston barrel 301. High pressure in the first channel 303 from below the protruding member 401, with low pressure in the second channel 304 from above the protruding member 401, may cause the swashplate to be moved to an up position as in the embodiment of
The cylindrical component 302 may also comprise third and fourth annular channels 305, 306, as in the embodiment of
When the swashplate 300 and piston barrel 301 are in the up position and the energy storage system is propelling the vehicle 100, fluid may be exchanged from the high pressure channel 305 to the low pressure channel 306. The energy storage system may be used to start an engine 104 at a moment before the hydraulic fluid in the high pressure channel 305 is depleted or drops below a predetermined pressure. The engine 104 may be used to propel the vehicle 100 or repressurize the high pressure channel 305. The high pressure channel 305 may also be repressurized through regenerative braking. When the brakes are applied, the swashplate 300 may move toward a down position against the cylindrical component 302, as in the embodiment of
The swashplate 300, seen in greater detail in the embodiment of
Each translation assembly may be associated with an independent mechanical transmission which may allow for translation assemblies 106 to be propelled at different rates which causes the vehicle to turn, as in the embodiment of
The energy storage system may comprise an engine pump 560 adapted to start an engine 570 after the vehicle is already in motion, as in the schematic 504 of
Now referring to the schematic 506 illustrated in

This was going to be a big day for Donte Shane Grant. The Camden resident, however, would not understand how special it was until later in his life.
Monday evening's League III American Legion Senior baseball game between Kershaw County Post 17 and visiting Dalzell-Shaw was rained out. The make-up date will be Friday, June 30 in Camden. The new starting time is 7:30 p.m.
Eleven Kershaw County baseball players earned all-conference honors for their performance on the diamond this past season.
Of all the honors and awards Abigail "Abby" McLaughlin earned over the course of her six years as a student-athlete competing for the cross country and track teams at Camden High School, this was one which the recent CHS graduate would gladly not have received.
After having split their first two games of the season with Manning-Santee last week, the Kershaw County American Legion baseball team had this week off.
Somewhere, Sibby Wood is smiling.
Not being able to play volleyball in college was hardly the end-all, be-all for Emma Buchanan. When opportunity knocked, though, she never hesitated in swinging open the door.
Amy Taylor Rowe's Maserati slammed down the accelerator in Fair Hill's stretch on Saturday and drew away to a dominant 5 1/4-length victory in the $45,000 Valentine Memorial Ratings Handicap.
Two games into a season is hardly the time to push the panic button. And while he knew where it was located, Tyler Pike was hardly ready to have it constantly by his side.
Like online tickets for a rock concert, when online registration for the Creed Boys' Invitational golf tournament at the Camden Country Club opened earlier this spring, the available spaces were gobbled up in some 30 minutes.
MANNING -- Manning-Santee Post 68 head coach Spencer Jordan couldn't decide what pleased him more -- his team's pitching, his team's defense or his team's clutch hitting -- after Wednesday's 5-2 victory over Kershaw County Post 17 at Monarch Field.
Anytime a high school player is good enough to sign on to play a particular sport at the college level, it leads to their former coach having to find someone else to plug into their place.
You can never have enough pitching in baseball, especially in American Legion baseball where games are nine innings.
Most seasons, the coach of the year honor is given to someone who has led his team deep into the postseason or, in many an instance, guided their team to a state championship.
It was, in a phrase, a race for the ages, an international classic in an American spring classic.

It would have been easy for Elliott Campbell to have basked in the spotlight for awhile and have taken full advantage of the recruiting process.

Rum Diary soon?
In the movie, Depp will play Kemp, a young journalist who finds himself working as a freelance journalist in the Caribbean surrounded by people intent on self-destruction.
Now look, let's be serious about this for a moment. Scarlett Johansson has to take this role. She owes it to her fans and to movie-goers and to biology. Genetic miracles didn't give her that rack so she could squander it by hiding it under blouses and shit. I honestly don't know what makes me feel worse inside: those adverts about the bears that are forced to dance for money, or when I see Johansson in a tank-top.
|Extra Tidbit:
|The Rum Diary was written in the 60s but wasn't published until 1998.

18th Annual (2016)
Shakespeare Festival
1901 Smucker Road • Orrville, OH 44667
Purchase Tickets Here* Seating Chart (PDF)
Thornton Wilder's Our Town
Friday, November 4, 2016 - 7:30 p.m.
The American Shakespeare Center 2016/17 Hungry Hearts Tour Performs Thornton Wilder's Our Town. For more information on the ASC visit www.americanshakespearecenter.com.
"This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying." A moving look at life in the small town of Grover's Corners, Our Town examines what it means to grow up. Through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Dying," Thornton Wilder studies the deeply personal yet remarkably universal lives of the Webb and Gibbs families. This poignant American tale explores friendship, love, and death, but importantly, what it truly means to live.
The American Shakespeare Center brings a unique performance style to Wayne College, blending Shakespeare's stage craft with modern sensibility. The company uses Shakespeare's staging conditions including universal lighting, minimal sets, doubling, and music. In Shakespeare's day, the company couldn't turn the lights out on the audience; actors and audience shared the same light. The Hungry Hearts Tour leaves the lights on for a type of audience contact rarely seen in modern day theatre. Audience members share directly in the action onstage as they become citizens of Grover's Corners in Our Town, Milan in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, or Verona in Romeo and Juliet.
While Wilder's play is a classic slice of Americana, it is hardly a sentimentalized ideal. For Our Town director (and ASC artistic director) Jim Warren, the play "is about our lives – right here, right now. It asks us to look at our own lives. It reminds us that each day matters." Our Town investigates the complex underpinnings of deceptively simple lives.
The 2016/17 Hungry Hearts production of Our Town features Constance Swain as Emily, and returning ASC tour actors Andrew Goldwasser as Stage Manager and Ross Neal as George. Other returning actors from the 2015/16 Dangerous Dreams Tour are Cordell Cole, Aleca Piper, and Zoe Speas. Rounding out the cast are Josh Clark, Sara J. Griffin, J.C. Long, Kyle Powell, and Ronald Román.

These blog things are easy when you can just cut & paste.
Legendary singer-songwriter Lyle Lovett, an artist whose style defies definition and is often in a category by itself, will perform at The Kentucky Center's Whitney Hall on Tuesday, July 8, at 7:30 p.m.
Active in the music industry for almost 30 years, Lovett has recorded thirteen studio albums to date, and has charted more than 15 singles on Billboard's Hot Country Songs list, including 1986′s "Cowboy Man," which reached #10 on the country charts.
Lovett has a gift for big band arrangements that has no precedent among contemporary singer/songwriters, made all the more potent because of its somewhat surprising use. He also displays a literary talent that has made him part of the tradition of American ironists. This is probably the aspect of Lovett that interested director Robert Altman, who cast him in four films (The Player, Short Cuts, Pret-a-Porter, Cookie's Fortune) and had him score a fifth (Dr. T and the Women).
While music should be and is open for interpretation by the listener, Lovett's new album, It's Not Big It's Large, suggests notions of mortality, loss and the fluidity of time. In many of the songs, the past intrudes on the present and the narrator finds strength to deal with the travails of today by putting them into historical perspective. That sounds like heavy-going, but its Lovett's gift to make the deep thoughts easier to consume.
Single tickets are $35, $45, $55 and $65, and go on sale Friday, May 9, at 10 a.m. Tickets may be purchased by contacting The Kentucky Center Box Office at 584-7777, toll free at (800) 775-7777 or (502) 562-0730 (TTY), or by visiting www.kentuckycenter.org.

Before UNT Vote, a Debate Over Allowing Same-Sex Couples on Homecoming Court
University of North Texas junior Stephen Michael Benavides
He sounded a little groggy when he spoke to Unfair Park this morning. But University of North Texas junior Stephen Michael Benavides had a long night: The chair of ACLU's student chapter spent Thursday night appealing to the UNT Supreme Court to adopt language of a failed bill and allow same-sex couples to run for homecoming court.
The Student Senate had failed to pass an earlier bill that would have allowed same-sex couples to run. Later, the Student Government Association drafted legislation for a student referendum on whether "same-sex and/or gender-neutral couples should be able to run for homecoming court," as it says on the school's Student Government Association Web site, where voting begins November 16.
The SGA president, Dakota Carter, helped draft the legislation. "I decided that the people who are voting for those who can win homecoming should be the ones making the rules for who can run," she tells Unfair Park.
Benavides, though, doesn't think such a decision should fall to the student body and will appeal to SGA in the coming week to change its plans. "You should never impose majority opinion in place of minority rights," Benavides says.
"If you can't get the right or the equality to run as a same-sex couple for homecoming court at a university, and university campuses are liberal compared to the rest of the nation, then we've got a big problem here," said Benavides. "If you can't do it on a university, how are you going to do it on a national stage?"

The Fall
Lasting a long time in the music business is all about reinvention and supposed relevance, although icons like U2 or Madonna don't even need quality output anymore to gain attention. But some still have to earn it after almost three decades--not that notoriously cranky Mark E. Smith, leader of the Fall, could or would have it any other way. Smith remains defiantly vinegar as he and his band continue to age like wine, and the late John Peel's assertion that the Fall is "always different, always the same" is cemented with Fall Heads Roll. Things feel different with opener "Ride Away," a ramshackle, mumbling abstraction that's unique if not entirely appealing, but it doesn't take long for this fairly minted lineup to find a familiar thread. "Pacifying Joint" is brash and catchy like good Pulp having a bad day, and the highlight--and best song of 2005--is "Blindness," a buzzing, psychedelic garage exercise in repetition that features an evil bass hook. "Do you/Work hard?" is the refrain, but the answer isn't important--this song is the Fall at its scabrous best, and even a Mark-less final track that sounds like another band's B-side can't diminish the moment(um). Its bookends are awkward, and the band's not exactly shedding skin here, but Fall Heads Roll ishypnotic in too many spots. It's another confounding, condescending success.
