New Year's Resolutions Have Gym-Goers Getting Pretty Exercised
Influx of Newbies Exasperates Regulars; Sweaty Machines, Long Lines 'Like a Cattle Call'
On the first Tuesday of the new year, personal trainer Monica Vazquez was helping a client stretch when she heard the blare of Latin hip-hop competing with the piped-in music at the Manhattan gym.
Looking up, she saw a man in sweat pants and orange snow boots using his cellphone as a makeshift boombox, pumping iron to the beat. "He was new. All we could do was shake our heads," Ms. Vazquez says.
January is the month when longtime members almost don't want to go to the gym. It's because so many newcomers do.
Fresh from their New Year's resolutions, pudgy novices are flooding into the nation's fitness clubs this time of year—meaning well but, innocent of the folkways of gym life, often leaving trails of sweaty equipment, soiled towels and exasperation.
Gym regular Mark Herman spots them by the way they inadvertently break unwritten rules of gym etiquette, like talking loudly on their cellphones while exercising.
A marathoner, Mr. Herman went to his LA Fitness gym in Chicago on the first Monday of 2011 to log some miles on one of its treadmills. They were all taken. When one finally opened up, he found the user had left sweat dripping off the hand grips, apparently unaware it was customary to wipe them dry.
New Jersey attorney Jacqueline Rosa finds the January newcomers' numbers daunting. They line up outside classrooms to get a spot, she says, and when the doors open, "It's like a damn cattle call where you pick up the 'steppers' and everyone races to get a spot."
When she went to her "Mega Mix" aerobics class at a Lucille Roberts gym in Clifton, N.J., the first week of the year, Ms. Rosa says, attendance had swollen to over 50 from 30 and the quarters were so tight she had to take care not to whack anyone with the kick-boxing and other moves.
Those crowding into classes aren't just the newbies, says Carl Liebert III, chief executive of 24 Hour Fitness, where usage typically jumps about 20% in January. He says veteran members defend their turf by lining up outside classrooms up to 45 minutes in advance and reserving spots for their friends. "During this time of year it looks like a turnstile at Disney," he says.
Machine thievery tends to spike under these conditions. Samantha Shelton noticed a woman waiting for a free treadmill at an Equinox in Manhattan last week. When the woman went to refill her water bottle, another member swooped in and grabbed a machine that had opened up.
Where Mr. Herman spots newcomers by their infringement on gym taboos, Ms. Rosa says she knows them by their coordination, or lack thereof. "They look completely awkward," the 26-year-old says. In yoga class, "new people stand in front of you and wobble everywhere, throwing off my balance." She is shelling out for semi-private classes until the crowds thin out.
One newcomer, Courtney Hopkins, doesn't deny her limited fitness, which, of course, is why she's at the gym in the first place. One day last week Ms. Hopkins began a spin class at an Arlington, Va., branch of Gold's Gym—a chain that can see as much as a 100% increase in member sales in January. After 20 minutes on the stationary bike, "I was panting," she says, and from then on "was pretty much coasting."
Rather than just sit on her bike until the hour-long class ended, Ms. Hopkins summoned the courage to get off and walk out. "I tried not to make eye contact and just bee-lined to the door," she says.
Ms. Hopkins says she often meanders the floor aimlessly in search of the right equipment, or "stands there for five minutes trying to figure out where my machines are."
Ms. Vazquez, who is a trainer at a New York Sports Club branch in Manhattan, had a mini-confrontation with a new member unfamiliar with the place and its ways. The newbie disrupted a personal-training session by taking one of Ms Vazquez's client's dumbbells, and then by lying down on the client's towel. When Ms. Vazquez explained that the area was strictly for personal training, the man "became incredibly defensive," she says, but went off to a different section.
Spin instructor Robyn Abell had to defuse a bit of tension at a World Gym in Owings, Md., when a new member set up camp on a bike reserved by a regular, who snidely informed her, "That's my bike." The newcomer apologized but was clearly taken aback, Ms. Abell says. "I had to compensate for the awkwardness by chuckling and showing her to the sign-in sheet," she says.
Such stumbles aren't necessarily the newcomers' fault. Gym etiquette is something learned mostly by osmosis.
One client who hadn't absorbed much showed up at a Manhattan club. As gym regular Amy DiTullio pedaled a stationary bike in an empty spin-class room, a man she had never seen before came in and hopped onto the instructor's bike, then plugged his iPod into speakers meant for the instructor and blasted his "New Agey" music through the room.
"I was so flabbergasted and upset," says Ms. DiTullio, whose glares went unnoticed. After 10 minutes or so, the man moved on.
Town Sports International Holdings Inc., which has New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs and others, has been running short vignettes on the television sets on its cardio equipment showing some no-nos of gym behavior. One shows a man talking loudly on his cellphone, bothering others.
Mindy Goldstein, who works out four times a week at a New York Sports Club in Manhattan, is sympathetic with the January newcomers, up to a point. "This time of year it's hard because [new] people are working out thinking they're doing the right thing, but they're really just getting in the way of all the rest of us," she says.
Ms. Goldstein takes comfort in the evanescence of New Year's resolutions. "Last year, within six weeks it was back to normal," she says.

As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of UN477in our 2015, and 2016 Vienna Design range.
The unisex Vienna Design model makes no distinction between men and women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Vienna Design on the same day. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

While there are claims that Young was the first Oscar-winning actress to also win an Emmy, that is untrue. Helen Hayes holds that distinction.
About working in "Old Hollywood", Loretta Young told The New York Times (March 30, 1995): "We were all under contract to studios, which took good care of of you; even told you who you could and couldn't go out with. Now, at the time we thought that was a terrible thing, but actually it was not."
Young collaborated with Edward J Funk on an as yet unpublished biography that took some five years to complete.
"I've always been very susceptible to men, and some of them [her co-stars] were gorgeous. I was reared with women and understand everything about them. And I love them in spite of themselves. Men, I don't know anything about really." --Young quoted in The New York Times, March 30, 1995.

Although the company is named after Fred Waring, a popular entertainer of the 1930s through 1950s, Mr. Waring did not actually invent the blender; rather, the original design was brought to him by inventor Fred Osius. Fred Waring spent a year perfecting the design, introducing the first Waring blender in 1937 as the Miracle Mixer. Product innovations continued in the 1940s with the introduction of color-coordinated blenders and attachments that crushed ice and ground coffee, as well as solid state controls.
Conair has owned Waring Products since 1998 as part of its large kitchen appliances division, headed by the Cuisinart brand. The brand's products include a full line of premium countertop appliances such as Waring popcorn makers, Waring juicers and Waring toaster ovens, each of which bring a professional level of quality, ease and performance to home kitchens and restaurant chefs. In fact, a distinctively professional line of products displays the Waring Pro name, which includes Waring waffle makers for Belgian waffles, Waring buffet servers, meat grinders and even a popcorn trolley cart, often used at retail special events, in local bars or pubs and at small theaters. Today, the company that brought blending to America over 70 years ago is recognized and respected all over the world.

Rendall Munroe Leaves Maloney To Join Hatton, Khan Bill
By Mark Vester
Super bantamweight Rendall Munroe (21-2, 9KOs) is set for a change of direction. The Leicester Mercury reports that Munroe has left promoter Frank Maloney and signed a deal with Ricky Hatton's company, Hatton Promotions. Munroe was set to return on April 9 on a Maloney card at Rainton Meadows. That fight is now off. Munroe will now return on April 16 at the MEN in Manchester, on the undercard of Amir Khan-Paul McCloskey, which is co-promoted by Hatton.
"Rendall sees it as a new challenge for himself," said Munroe's manager, Mike Shinfield. "Hatton Promotions are fairly new in the promoting game and they are very ambitious – as we are with Rendall. They have good contacts with Sky TV and also with Golden Boy promotions in the United States."
As long as Rendall has got the best deal for himself i couldn't really give a ****. i've never liked Maloney. He did well to get Rendall a world title shot but with Hatton's name and contacts hopefully some big…Comment by bboy80 on 03-29-2011

The historic Angel Oak tree on Johns Island likely will be protected from nearby development after Charleston County Council Tuesday gave final approval to contribute $2.5 million for the effort.
To donate
To donate to help the Lowcountry Open Land Trust raise the $400,000 it needs to expand Angel Oak Park, visit www.lolt.org or call 843-577-6510.
The group unanimously approved contributing the money from rural Greenbelt Program funds toward the purchase of 18.7 acres adjacent to Angel Oak Park.
The city of Charleston has contributed $400,000 toward the purchase. The Lowcountry Open Land Trust has until March 14 to raise the remaining $400,000. If that doesn't happen, a developer has said it will proceed with a plan to build an apartment community.
The trust will own the property, and Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission will manage it, officials said.
Conservationists want the land around the historic tree protected from intense development to maintain the health of the massive live oak, which is believed to be at least several centuries old. It is considered a Lowcountry icon.
Money for the Greenbelt Program comes from the half-cent sales tax. The program is for the preservation of green space through the purchase of land and conservation easements.
County Council in July approved $2.4 million in Greenbelt money to purchase another 17-acre parcel adjacent to the park.

2012 Kentucky Derby: Michael Moreno of Southern Equine Racing Stables buys interest in Bodemeister
Michael Moreno, who races as Southern Equine Racing Stables, has purchased a minority interest in Arkansas Derby winner Bodemeister, according to a source with knowledge of the sale.
Moreno had been looking at a number of Kentucky Derby contenders in recent weeks. Bodemeister is considered the favorite for the Kentucky Derby on May 5.
The majority interest in Bodemeister is owned by Ahmed Zayat. Zayat confirmed the sale, but did not want to identify the buyer, but said, "He is a very passionate man. Young and smart. Loves the game. A true sportsman."
Bloodstock agent Michael Levy brokered the deal, the source said.
Very interesting news. I like personally Bodemeister. He has Heart.
This is an even bigger X to put through Bodemeister's derby day chances than him being an unraced 2 year old
....for breeding purposes alone it's a great investment if this horse should win it all! Can you imagine the value of the breeding rights if he is the next triple crown winner? It's not out of the question as he appears to be faster than the rest of his generation...
Instructions to jock WILL include " do not get him hurt ".
why ? if you have the derby favorite,why sell part of him ? Zayat don,t need the money ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Michelle Shocked's May 4 show in Madison - the last remaining gig on her tour, after anti-gay comments at a concert over the weekend led the rest of the venues to cancel the alt-folk singer's shows - is still on, at least for now.
The Capitol Times in Madison reports that the Harmony Bar in Madison is waiting to make a final decision on the show until the bar's owner, Keith Daniels, returns from an out-of-town vacation late next week. »Read Full Article

It made me laugh and cry at the same time. It made me think of the teachers I know who have to pay $45 per year to use the microwave and another $45 to use the fridge. It made me think of my past teachers and the way they shaped my values, my work ethic, my passions, and my sense of empathy. It made me think, too, that this is an election year and it was my teachers who made me understand why voting is more than a privilege, it is a responsibility.

President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill that will require labeling of genetically modified ingredients for the first time.
The legislation passed by Congress two weeks ago will require most food packages to carry a text label, a symbol or an electronic code readable by smartphone that indicates whether the food contains genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
The Agriculture Department has two years to write the rules, which will pre-empt a Vermont law that kicked in earlier this month.
Congressional passage came over the strong objections of Vermont's congressional delegation. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch argued that the...

Nintendo is including a free puppy with every Wii for 2008.
Well the thing is, Nintendo plans on catching up with demand by April of 2008.
So if they manage to do that, and ship out 3-4 million units like mentioned above, we may see a cut. If that doesn't happen we won't.
Nintendo is aiming for April though, we should wait to see if it happens.
If not, a price cut will come, much earlier than its third year like someone stated previously. I would say closer to the end of next year is when the price will go down, especially if people are not looking for one as badly as they were this year, they will need to do something to garner interest if need be, so a price cut would seem fitting in that case.

Next year Microsoft and Sony both plan on doing another price drop. Nintendo will follow. The president himself said they will do what it takes to maintain a lead. The Wii can, unlike the 360 and PS3 afford a price drop and still make profit. Afterall it's just two GCs taped together, at least that's what the fan boys call it.
I predict mid to end of 2008 for all 3 console price drops.

The Wii is not getting a price cut Nintendo has already stated this and it will not until its no longer selling which wont be for a couple years
Please PM me before adding me!
Well the thing is when there is a few months where big games are not released, demand for the console will die down. A price cut will come much earlier than a few years, trust me. Like I said, if the interest is dying down, best way to pick it up is to lower the price.Originally Posted by Link_of_Hyrule
And like sagema said, the Wii is the one console that can still make good profit when the price is cut.

THE FEDERAL Reserve Board is widely expected to downgrade its growth projections for the American economy - something the panel has already done in 2010 - when it meets today in Washington.
To which most Americans - but especially the whopping 6.6 million who have been unemployed for more than six months, by far the most since we started counting after World War II - would reply with this answer.
Yet, it's still not clear whether America's policy makers have truly come to grips with the gut-wrenching plight of the so-called "99ers" - at least 1.4 million workers who'd exhausted all their unemployment benefits before Congress just barely passed a 20-week extension - or the fact that some economists fear that the jobless rate could hover near the current 9.5 percent level for perhaps a couple of years.

The case against former Montgomery County Republican Chairman Robert J. Kerns narrowed dramatically Wednesday as a judge dismissed rape and sexual-assault charges against him but let stand other counts stemming from his alleged attack last fall on a female employee of his law firm.
District Judge Joann L. Teyral threw out the charges after meeting with lawyers during a preliminary hearing in Blue Bell. She ordered Kerns, 66, to trial on counts including aggravated indecent assault, a second-degree felony with a maximum prison term of 10 years.
The judge "came to the inescapable conclusion that there was no rape, no evidence of sexual assault," Kerns' attorney, Brian J. McMonagle, said as Kerns stood next to him. "We're very satisfied, we're relieved. But it's just the first step."

It's not too difficult to get hyped up about this Sunday's game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants are rolling with a four-game winning streak and are back in contention for the NFC East division crown.
The Cowboys have lost two of three but are fresh off of their bye week and still ahead of New York by one game in the standings. The game will be crucial for the playoff hopes of both teams.
Giants' defensive end and captain Justin Tuck did little to downplay the importance of the game when he met with reporters on Wednesday.
"I don't believe in the whole extra pumped-ness," said Tuck. "Every opponent you play you should be as amped that you can be to play. But, you know, people around me get a little more pumped. The fans get a little bit more pumped. It's a team that we have a lot of history against and it's a game that's of relevance to what we want to do this year."
The Giants and their fans should be quite pumped about an important game. After the team dropped its first six games of the season, including one versus the Cowboys, it looked like the whole season might be a wash. However, Tuck and the Giants have battled back and are once again relevant to the NFC playoff discussion.
"All of us were very confident that we could get out of that hole," said Tuck. "We felt as though we should have played a lot better to not have been in that hole to begin with. It's the cards that we've dealt ourselves and we need to figure out how to play the hand better. We did the last four weeks."
Even though the Giants have played better over the past four weeks, they still haven't beaten a team with a quarterback as good as Tony Romo this season.
During the team's four-game winning streak, the only opponent that had its regular quarterback available was Oakland, and Terrelle Pryor was limited by a knee injury.
There are still plenty of tough opponents on the schedule for New York, and there's still very little margin for error. The team's next four games – against Dallas, Washington, San Diego, and Seattle – will tell us a lot more about the 2013 Giants than the last four have.
"We've still got a long way to go," said Tuck. "And believe me, we feel fortunate to be where we are, but we also understand that we're not even close to where we need to be."

Oh Virginia Woolf! No one writes they way you did and no one else ever will. Such harrowing, haunting, piercing beauty and love and loss and heart. She was a literary genius and The Waves is an amazing and unique piece of literature. I will cherish this book forever.

[WORLD CUP 2010 QUALIFYING] Trinidad & Tobago's bid to return to the World Cup finals for a second straight time suffered a setback as captain Dwight Yorke was handed a four-game suspension and fined $4,200 for his outburst at the end of the Soca Warriors' 2-2 tie at El Salvador last month.
Yorke, 37, was sent off for his second yellow card when he complained to the referee after the match ended in a 2-2 tie on Osmael Romero's second goal on a free kick, which came in stoppage time.
The Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation has filed a notice of appeal, saying Yorke "complained to the referee for the safety and security of his players in view of the fact that missiles were being hurled onto the field" and that Yorke denied using obscene language.
Trinidad & Tobago advanced to the Hexagonal when Yorke returned to lead the Soca Warriors to a 2-1 win over the USA, converting the winning penalty kick in the final group game played last fall.
Yorke is playing in World Cup qualifying for the sixth time.

Project Runway All Stars Blog
Mila's Exit Interview
Who's black and white and red [lipstick-ed] all over? Oh, and not at all an ice queen? MILA HERMANOVSKI! In fact, why don't we dub the flag challenge victim with the more apt titles of: Color Block Countess and/or Lady of Leggings? From the set of her latest project, "Star Trek 2," the Season 7 designer talked to the "Project Runway All Stars" Blog about the show's playground politics, her secret PRASBFFs and her stance on the Joanna vs. Tim, PR vs. PRAS judges debates.
Lisa: You've always been in the "Project Runwayâ€ù Lifetime family. What was it like coming from Season 7 to "All Starsâ€ù?
Mila: On one hand, you come in with your eyes a little more open and you sort of know what the rules are, what the game is like, a little bit. When I did Season 7, it was all a mystery to me. They withheld all information and part of the whole bubble we were in was having all your comforts taken away from you the lack of phone and any outside influences at all; any music, any communication with your family and that kind of thing. So, just knowing you're about to go into that is helpful. Part of that psychological stress is not there, however, there are still the same old mental challenges and physical challenges. And then of course, being with the other twelve designers, there are a lot of strong personalities under one roof.
We definitely saw that this season! Pretty much each episode, you were shown complaining about Kara and Kenley in the workroom.
Yeah, unfortunately, the way I was edited, it made it seem like I was jealous of their friendship or something and that wasn't the case at all. It's just when I'm in that environment, I take it very seriously, I really wanted the prize, I really wanted to win and that's just my kind of ammo when I'm in a competition. It's not that I didn't want friendships and I didn't want to find friendships, but some of the ways they acted in the workroom were just distracting to me and I was like, "don't you guys take this seriously?â€ù And they kind of went overboard with their antics sometimes and that, to me, was very distracting sometimes and kind of annoying. But, I was just a very serious worker, that's all.
When I interviewed April, she said that you guys had a kind of "behind-the-scenes friendshipâ€ù that we didn't really see. Did you have kind of surprise friendships that came out of doing this?
Absolutely, and April was definitely one of them. I mean, there were definitely cliques that formed and I'm not going to lie, there was drama behind-the-scenes and off camera that definitely caused tension with those cliques but yeah, April and I had more like-personalities and that's what it boiled down to. There was a little bit of natural segregation not too different to one that would happen on a playground (laughs). Like, me and Michael and Mondo and April and then there was Kara, Kenley, Austin, Anthony, Jerellâ€_
Interesting. It's funny because you guys are from the last few seasons; maybe that was one of your common bonds.
Yeah, that is interesting. I don't know if that's just a coincidence or something deeper than that.
Were there other things behind-the-scenes that we didn't really get to see, that you were disappointed didn't make it to air?
I notice there's a couple of photographs of me actually laughing and having a good time in the workroom and I'm bummed sometimes that that stuff doesn't make it to air because it doesn't make me as likeable of a person! Someone who knows me personally knows that I'm not all serious all the time and that I do have a great sense of humor and I like to make friends.
There was definitely a camaraderie, for example, between me and Mondo. It was really sweet when we first met, he said, "I'm a big fan of your work and I really respect what you do.â€ù And that was really touching to me and I think that was really what set the precedent for the rest of our time together. He would sometimes ask me for a second eye, like "what do you think about this?â€ù and vice versa and off camera too, there were a couple moments we spent comforting each other.
A lot of the fans have been adjusting to the "All Stars" judges and Joanna in the workroom. What was your impression of the new panel and your stance on Joanna vs. Tim?
At first, I was very intimidated by Joanna because my experience was with her was a judge [on Season 7] and she's kind of a ball-buster as a judge. In the workroom, she was a little stand-offish at first, I felt like, and didn't really offer up much advice and I think a bunch of us would talk about that afterwards, like, "gosh, I wish she would've given me a little more advice.â€ù And maybe that was just a warming up period or something because by the time I got to Episode 8 when I was eliminated, I felt she was actually giving more constructive criticism and advice to people and I really grew to respect her and love her. She's an awesome woman and a powerhouse at what she does.
In fact, that sort of relates a little bit to the judging panel in terms of how much I miss having an editorial point of view there. It was two designers and a model and I really missed having Nina Garcia as a representative who maybe looks at fashion collections and different points of views of fashion designers more objectively than two fashion designers do. I think that when you have your own line and you're designing all the time, it's just natural that you're going to gravitate towards certain things more than others.
If you could have your way, would you get Tim back in the workroom and have Joanna on the panel?
Probably I would! If it was either/or, I would choose to have Tim whose background is more in education and mentoring and have Joanna, who has an amazing editorial eye, as a judge.
That's a really good point. Something Joanna (and both my coworker Caitlin and I) celebrate you for are your amazing pants and leggings.
Thank you, awesome! It just sort of evolved naturally and after I did my Mercedes Benz Fashion Week collection on Season 7, I introduced a couple of leggings with panels on them and after the show I developed and pushed that even further and made what I call the "Bentley of leggings," which is, each leg has 20 pieces in it and four different fabrics and I really just took off with that.
You can find them in my store, which I'm expanding soon, on my website and there's a couple boutiques in L.A. that are selling them. After my fall collection launches, I'm planning to hit the streets and if nothing else, I can get my leggings into a store and that's a foot in the door because it's easier to sell.
And if you want to do, like, a Target diffusion line, I would feel great about that.
I would feel great about that too!
What is next for you after "All Stars," you mentioned that you're working on a movie now?
Well, I'm booked on "Star Trek 2â€ù until that's finished shooting. It's a dream job and what pays my bills and funds my collection. I'm going to be showing the collection first in L.A. then in Palm Springs with other Project Runway Designers at the El Paseo Fashion Week in March.
I don't think anybody ever realizes how much hustle there is involved in being a fashion designer and actually getting it into the stores. It's not just about making a collection and putting on a runway show because that doesn't get you orders. I have to hit the streets and I'm going to start with the boutiques in L.A. and eventually expand beyond that because it's a growing process. Unless you have a big chunk of money and you can hire everyone to sell for you and market for you. It's a lot of work for one person.
And you're working on the movie, so that's a busy schedule I'm sure.
It's a minimum of 10-11 hours a day up to 12-13 hours a day with the lovely L.A. commuting.
So when we watch "Star Trek 2," where do we see "Mila"?
The costume designer has given me the domain of creating futuristic looks for the civilians in the film. I'm not really allowed to talk much about it but I can say it's like a stylized look for people on the street in the movie.

Two books take pulse of once-great Detroit
Performing in November at the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit, Madonna - a Michigan native who was raised in the Detroit suburbs - told the crowd how good it was "to be back home." "Detroit is having a comeback," she enthused. "I can feel it in my bones!"
As a native son of this once-proud city, I fervently want to believe that Madonna is right. »Read Full Article(1)
Skylight makes the most of bland 'Pump Boys'
In the fictionalized North Carolina being served up in "Pump Boys and Dinettes," the country music pastiche that's now open for business at Skylight Music Theatre, none of the six characters actually works much.
To be sure, designer Brandon Ribordy has stuffed this really fun, vintage 1950s set - half gas station and half diner - with props suggesting that the four pump boys might actually service cars and the two fun-loving waitresses next door might actually take and fill orders. »Read Full Article(2)
Florentine finds cozy home for 'Albert Herring'

Veering away from stage-filling grand opera, the company opened a lighthearted production of Benjamin Britten's chamber opera "Albert Herring" Friday evening, in the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts' smallest performance space. »Read Full Article

Chillin' Wit' is a regular feature of the Daily News spotlighting a name in the news away from the job.
JOHNNY DOC is waiting for a challenge.
"It's up in the air," he says. "If anyone challenges me to run, I'll run."
John J. Dougherty, the business manager for Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, isn't talking about running for political office — not on this day, anyway. It's Sunday, and he's talking about actually running in the Gary Papa Father's Day Run to raise awareness for prostate cancer.
Dougherty, the co-chairman of the 10th annual run, gets his racing number — 98, of course — but no one challenges him, so he skips the run and spends his time making sure the event runs smoothly, shaking hands with participants, posing for pictures and taking jabs about his sunglasses in stride.

Banks' $2bn tech spending sparks IT hiring spree
Banks are preparing to spend more than $2bn on new technology and top-class IT talent as part of their preparation for a slew of new regulations. The IT and technology investment comes as tens of thousands of bankers have been culled worldwide.
Headhunters say a director running a global IT team of between 80 and 100 can now expect to earn between £250,000 and £300,000 a year, about the same as a vice-president at a bulge-bracket bank responsible for a team of four or five.
America's Dodd-Frank Act will require over-the-counter derivatives to be traded on new transparent platforms known as swap execution facilities.
According to consultants advising on the construction of these platforms and sources close to the banks, development costs are likely to be between $50m and $100m over a two-year period, with annual costs running at around $10m.
Up to 20 banks may have to build these trading platforms, with the potential industry bill reaching at least $2bn.
According to Nicoll Curtin, a London-based recruitment firm, Dodd-Frank, and other capital adequacy rules and risk management projects, has prompted a recent surge in demand for banking IT staff.
During the past three months, demand for banking IT contractors – who can earn up to £1,200 a day – has nearly doubled, the firm said. The hiring of permanent IT workers is also growing.
The company reported a shortage of candidates with the necessary project management and business analysis skills. It said banks were increasingly looking to consultancies to plug the gap and maintain a more flexible workforce.
Cian Loughnane, associate director, Nicoll Curtin Senior Appointments, said: "Banks hiring at the senior end of the spectrum continue to seek talent from direct competitors. Clients remain keenly interested in leveraging the intellectual capital candidates have generated in other organisations.
"Despite macroeconomic factors, the top 5% of managerial talent continue to enjoy bull market packages with clients in some cases offering mid-year guarantees as part of a wider retention strategy."

Lowest absence rate in farm jobs
March 23, 2001
Workers in farming, forestry, and fishing occupations had the lowest absence rate in 2000.
Among full-time workers with farm jobs, the absence rate was 2.6 percent—this was well below the average of 3.8 percent for all occupations. Service occupations had the highest absence rate, at 4.5 percent.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. More information on absence rates in 2000 can be found in Table 47 of the January 2001 Employment and Earnings. The absence rate is the ratio of workers with absences to total full-time wage and salary employment. Absences are defined as instances when persons who usually work 35 or more hours per week worked less than 35 hours during the reference week for one of the following reasons: own illness, injury, or medical problems; child-care problems; other family or personal obligations; civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave.

Jrue and Justin Holiday have beaten some incredibly long odds as brothers who will play on the same NBA team.
The Holidays became 76ers teammates after Justin, 23, was called up this weekend from the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League. The Sixers waived guard Jeremy Pargo to make room for Justin on their 15-man roster. The 6-foot-6, 180-pound guard, who practiced with the team on Monday, is signed through the rest of the season.
"Now I get to play with [Jrue] at the highest level," Justin Holiday said. "That's one of the biggest and most exciting things that has happened to me."

On Setting & Structure in Narrative Nonfiction
How do you structure a nonfiction narrative? Where do you set it?
Until you can answer these two questions, you really can't start writing your book.
In recent years, I've been privileged to coauthor books with some of the most inspirational people of our time. I coauthored The Last Lecture with Randy Pausch, who celebrated life's possibilities even as he was dying of cancer. I was the collaborator on Highest Duty, the memoir by "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who landed a crippled jet in New York's Hudson River. And most recently, I coauthored GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her astronaut husband, Mark Kelly.
Each of these books needed an arc, a way to carry readers from the first page to the last.
For The Last Lecture, we decided that the book would begin when Randy agreed to give his now-famous lecture. He'd step on stage, and as the book continued, he'd tell of his adventures, and all the lessons he wanted his students – and his young children -- to embrace after he was gone. The book would end not in his death but in the very final moment of his lecture.
For Sully's memoir, we decided to structure the book around all the moments of his life, and all his past flying experiences, that led him to be able to perform at his best that day over the Hudson River. It isn't until page 206, two-thirds of the way through the book, that readers are finally with him in the cockpit of that damaged plane. But by then, it's clear to them that this man has the experience, the smarts and the courage to see that plane to safety.
For GABBY, we chose to set the book in the seven months after Gabby Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with constituents. Almost every chapter begins with her in rehab, working incredibly hard to learn how to talk and walk again. Through flashbacks, this structure allows readers to learn about Mark's and Gabby's careers, their intriguing childhoods, and most of all, the love between them. The first 22 chapters are in Mark's voice. The final chapter is in Gabby's.
I wrote another nonfiction book, The Girls from Ames, about eleven friends now in their forties who grew up together in Ames, Iowa. I've since called in to hundreds of book clubs about that book, and I'm often asked about how I chose to structure it. The entire book is set at a reunion the Ames girls had in June 2008. Each chapter begins at that get-together, but through their memories, I was able to write about the four decades of their relationship. (Not every reader agreed with my decision to organize the book this way. When I spoke to women's book clubs, I took to heart their comments and criticisms. Maybe they were right!)
For my latest book, I wanted to write a nonfiction narrative about the love we all wish for our daughters. As the father of three girls, it was a topic close to my heart. But where would I set such a book? I had considered maternity wards, daddy-daughter dances, spas were mothers and daughters go to vacation. But then my wife said, "There's something about a wedding dress ... " which led me to the Magic Room at Becker's Bridal in Fowler, Michigan.
When I entered this special room, and learned of all the emotional moments it had seen, I knew I'd found the setting for my book. The Magic Room became the center of the story, a place for me to introduce the brides who ventured there, before reaching more deeply into their lives, their histories, and the love their parents wished for them.

Sully in the cockpit.
Gabby in rehab.

The brides in the Magic Room.
Once a story has a structure and a setting, it's exciting to start building it, carefully and respectfully, piece by piece. In a way, I become just a messenger, helping people – both the famous and the little known – find and explain the lessons of their lives. For me it's a great responsibility, and also a great honor.

Throughout his career, Sergei Gonchar has been a versatile defenseman who has played both sides of the puck very well.
Now in his late 30s, Gonchar finds himself on the worst team in the NHL. The Senators will probably be looking to go into a new direction and probably trade Gonchar at the deadline. He'll come at a hefty price at $5.5 million, but there are plenty of contenders well below the salary cap that can use Gonchar's services.
Sergei brings in a plethora of experience, veteran leadership, powerplay quarterbacking skills and a hard shot rivaled that's been giving goaltenders nightmares for years.
Here are seven teams that would love to have Gonchar at the right price.
