I forget if we have discussed this before. This is an old Dickensianesque word for a lawyer who is marginally disreputable, not a player, or who tends to focus on minutiae or unimportant points.
One on-line dictionary that I consulted says that the word is from "petit vogue"—which would make it a nice example of an English corruption of a foreign term—similar to "buckaroo" or "Elephant and Castle".
Is this accurate?

From the Testimony of Yitzhak Khomut (Isaac Emmet)
The bitter day came four days prior to Yom Kippur [the Day of Atonement – the highest Jewish holiday]. It was decreed that after Yom Kippur all Jews without exception have to be in the ghetto. And the usual style – whoever would be found outside the ghetto would be shot…..We were at home, sad that we have to leave everything and move to the ghetto; the worst was that we knew that death was awaiting us. While we were sitting there depressed, a woman came in and introduced herself as Mrs. Lomtska, the wife of the school principal. She had a letter from the local authorities that we had to hand our home over to her. It was a new home and we had invested all our money and a lot of effort in it. She saw us packing our belongings and crying and expressed her sorrow. At a certain moment our elder daughter Hanale came into the yard. She was about 11 years old at the time. She was a talented, beautiful and smart child. The principal's wife was very impressed with her and said that it was heart-breaking that such a pretty child would go to the ghetto. After a while she said that if we wouldn't object, she would take Hanale to her home – our home – and make sure that she survived. Finally she said that she was childless and was willing to adopt her.
Time was running out and we didn't have time to hesitate. The child was very dear to us, and it was difficult to part from her. But we had no other option. So we decided to move to the ghetto without Hanele. She stayed with the principal. In the depth of my heart I thought that if we would die in the ghetto, at least our daughter would remain….
Friday and Saturday passed. The Jews were running about frightened, the town was agitated and all the roads were under strict military and police surveillance. People who had hesitated between fleeing and staying in the ghetto knew they had missed the opportunity to leave. I was still hoping to find a way out and take off with my family. I even planned to take dear Hanele along….
On Saturday I decided to leave Tuczyn with my family and to go through the fields to the house of an Ukrainian acquaintance by the name of Pavel Gerasimichik. We had commercial connections before the war, and he told me that at time of danger we could always come to him and he would give us shelter. Naturally at that time we didn't know that a non-Jew who would allow a Jew to stay in his home would be in deadly danger….
I found a Ukrainian youngster who lived in the area and had a boat. I paid him to take us across the river. We were very happy, because we had passed the greatest obstacle. The way from the river to Pavel's home was not long, and I expected to reach it shortly. Suddenly Ukrainian youngsters who had been taking care of the cows arrived. They made a racket and threatened to call the police. I knew that if they called the police it would be very bad, and so I negotiated with them, offering them money. There were about ten of them, I gave them money, but every one of them wanted to be paid separately….I gave them money again and again; they took the money and yelled: 'Jews are escaping from the ghetto'. My heart ached and I was ashamed. I thought that had times been different, I would have beaten them up and not paid attention to their yelling. But our lives were in their hands. These villains detained us there for two hours. The girls knew our life was in danger. They always knew they could put their trust in their all-powerful father. And here we were helpless in the face of rabble-rousing kids…. An SS officer arrived on a motorcycle. He saw our situation. The girls were crying, and he got interested….It seems that even SS officers sometimes have human feelings. He saw the poor girls and took pity on us. He told the policemen to let us go and that we should go home, to the ghetto….
Jews were walking around the streets. Every hour new rumors spread, only to be denied afterwards. They said that trenches were being dug on the way to the railway station. It was clear that they were intended as mass graves for the Jews of Tuczyn….We were immersed in our sad thoughts when all of a sudden Pavel arrived. He was embarrassed, as if the deeds of his neighbors shamed him. He had heard about the ghetto and it was clear that we were doomed. It wasn't easy to express sympathy with the fate of the Jews and he was mulling over what he could do to help us at this critical moment. We told him that we wanted to leave the ghetto, even for a few days, to see how matters would develop. Pavel saw our distress and said that if we needed shelter for a short time, we could come to his place….
[after their arrival at Pavel's home] Pavel was deeply frightened when he saw the ghetto go up in flames, but he did everything in his power to calm down my wife and daughter. He moved them to the barn and hid them in the straw. When it became too hot for them, he put them on top of the hay in the barn. That was where I found them when I arrived in the village. He had supplied them with food and drink. I realized that Pavel was a good man. He knew that his help to us put his entire family at risk. I had never seen such a delicate and sensitive person. Pavel wasn't very happy with my arrival. He feared that his neighbors had seen me come, but I told him that I had arrived unnoticed. He also remembered that I had asked for a short-term shelter. He agreed that we would stay until we found a way out. We thought that liberation would come soon, and stayed in his home. It never entered our mind that we would stay for such a long time….
We decided to leave his home on Sunday and go to Tuczyn. We didn't believe that begging him to stay would help, because we had seen how nervous his wife was about his bringing us to their home. Pavel was very worried about informers. And mostly, we knew that he was a poor peasant who hardly was able to make ends meet. The food he gave us was at the expense of his family. Suddenly we heard shots from the direction of Tuczyn. We were very frightened… Pavel decided to go to Tuczyn to see what was going on. He came back depressed. On his return he told us that we would have to stay with him, because there was nowhere to go….We told Pavel that he is unable to keep us, because he is giving us his own bread. And he said that at this time he cannot drive us away from his home. Pavel was afraid that one of his neighbors would discover our presence, so he prepared a hideout under the hay in his yard. We had to hide like animals in the hay. It was very crowded. During the day it was very hot, and there was smell from the pot in which we used for our excretions that was next to us the entire time. At night Pavel would empty the container and return it. It was most uncomfortable to have Pavel do this for us. We sat in the hideout for several weeks. We couldn't wash or change clothes. We had lice, and scratched ourselves. But we had to get used to this life. We crated a little hole in the haystack to have some fresh air and light….
On 4 November 1942 the last massacre took place. This was when my dear daughter Hanele was murdered. After this massacre they announced that whoever hid a Jew would be executed with his family and that his farm would be burned down. After this decree, Pavel panicked and pressured us to leave for the forest. Pavel felt bad when he saw us crying, and he left and covered the hole with a sack. A few days passed. We thought incessantly about finding a way out. We wanted to release our good Pavel of the burden and the fear we caused him and his family. Suddenly we heard the dog bark. We knew the dog would bark only when strangers approached the place, and soon we saw two Ukrainian policemen come near us. They circled the yard and stopped near our haystack. They interrogated Pavel if he had seen Jews here or at his neighbors' place. Pavel was embarrassed and said that he hadn't seen Jews for a long time. The policemen said that they had a report about Jews, and he'd better admit. Pavel emphatically denied the charges. The policemen left. A short while later I saw Ukrainian policemen lead Leibl Briman, his wife, the teacher, Genia, their two-year-old son and his wife's sister. Pavel later found out that they were found in a haystack, just like ours, in a nearby farm.
The situation deteriorated. There were cases of entire Christian families that were killed because they had hidden Jews. We couldn't stay on….
One evening Pavel brought us food and said that he realizes we have nowhere to go to. He understands our fear of life in the forest and therefore decided to dig a hole for us in the barn so that we could be sheltered there until the danger passed. Of course I joined him in the digging. We dug the entire night near the barn. The entry was from inside the barn. Pavel poured the sand we had dug out into the river so that there would be no sign left. Any change could have provoked suspicions. The same night we moved to the hole. The conditions there were terrible. It was humid and airless. When I told Pavel about the problems he suggested we should hide in the straw in the barn. We arranged ourselves in the straw. We could only lie down, because when we sat up, our heads would stick out of the straw. Despite the many hardships we spent 16 months in the straw….
Pavel's financial situation was terrible. He had a small farm and young children. He worked the farm on his own. It was no wonder he couldn't really feed us. Our main food was potatoes that were cooked with their peelings….We sometimes suffered from the heat in summer and had no water to drink. Pavel didn't bring water because he saw children play nearby, and was afraid they would see him bringing food to the barn. They would tell their parents and this would mean the end for us and for his family. It is interesting to note that despite the difficult conditions, the many dangerous moments, the loss of hope to ever be able to live a normal life, we didn't want to die. More than once we felt the closeness of death. The Ukrainian police often conducted searches in the neighborhood. Every time they caught a Jew the searches would intensify….
When the Germans were already on the retreat, they dug trenches along the river. They situated their headquarters in Pavel's home. 15 soldiers were stationed in the barn for twelve days. They were sprawled on the hay under which we were hiding. We were in a state of constant alert. We knew we couldn't sneeze or cough. My wife and myself were awake all the time. We were hungry and thirsty. Pavel couldn't come near us. The guards stood over the opening all night. Again, a miracle….
On 15 February 1944 the area was liberated. We stayed another few days in our hideout. We waited until the situation stabilized. The murderers were still raging. We wanted to know if there were any Jews left and how the Soviets were treating the Jews.
Several days later Pavel heard that there were a few Jews in Tuczyn. We prepared to go to our destroyed town.
We had to walk along the walls. Our legs didn't move. We were careful that the villagers wouldn't find out about us. The Ukrainian murderers mercilessly killed Jews because they were afraid they would testify against them. It has to be mentioned that some Jews who had survived the Nazi hell were killed by the Ukrainians after liberation. We said farewell to Pavel and his family. I would like to again underscore the noble attitude of Pavel and his wife. Not only didn't they want payment for the food they gave us, but he also gave us clothes and food for the way. My wife had given Pavel a gold watch when she arrived at his home, and when we left he gave it back to her. Pavel and his wife were happy when they saw us leave their home after the terrible ordeal.
In Tuczyn we found 12 Jews. It is hard to describe the reunion with the remnants of what once was a vibrant community. Every one told their sad story. We cried as we remembered our dear ones who died terrible deaths. Only then did we feel the horrible loneliness. We were all put in one house by the Russian police. Bands of murderers were still raging and we feared an attack….
We don't forget for one minute the terrible catastrophe that befell us and our innocent loved ones who were tortured and murdered. We pay tribute and owe a debt of gratitude to our good friend Pavel Gerasimchik and his family who risked their lives and saved us from certain death….

Universities Get Smart: Cloud Contact Center Technology
Contact center solutions are a necessity for universities
Universities or other institutions of higher education need contact center solutions to cost effectively route and/or respond to inbound calls, place outbound calls for fundraising, student recruitment outreach and collections, as well as for proactively alerting and sending notifications to students and staff. In the old days, these institutions had to purchase one and frequently many automatic call distributors (ACDs), dialers and interactive voice response (IVR) systems to meet the needs of their decentralized departments and functions. (This is still how it's done by many institutions.)
To support these solutions (and many others), universities have had to employ a large IT staff, who typically have little interest in maintaining contact center and dialer solutions. They'd much prefer to spend their time supporting new and exciting technology, not outdated telephony infrastructure. Adding to this challenge is that university benefactors are generally not interested in donating contact center systems, as this technology is not as glamorous as a chemistry lab or other physical infrastructure where donors can see their name on a building.
Contact center solutions are a necessity for universities, as they enable many important day-to-day business functions, but they receive little attention because they are not part of the institution's core mission. For these and other reasons, cloud-based inbound and outbound contact center, dialer and IVR solutions are ideal for universities. Cloud-based contact center solutions are highly scalable, enabling institutions to cost effectively manage seasonal peaks for recruitment and fundraising. They can be deployed anywhere, including dorm rooms and on mobile devices, allowing institutions to more easily hire high-caliber staff on an as-needed basis. As importantly, IT support resources typically come with the solution, which is upgraded on an ongoing basis, giving universities access to leading-edge contact center, dialer and IVR functionality without ongoing and sometimes sizable capital outlays. For any educational institution dealing with an outdated, difficult-to-change and costly-to-maintain contact center system, it's time to think about the hosting option.

In John Erlandson's line of work, sometimes it all comes down to a gut feeling.
Erlandson is vice president of marketing and product development at Budd Lake-based Sportcraft, a manufacturer of family recreational products including table games, outdoor games, kids' sports toys and sports accessories.
When it comes time to choosing which toys and products will make it to the shelf, the Union City resident said the deciding factor can be a gut feeling.
"You can't overanalyze something to death," he said. "If you see it and say, 'Wow!' or 'That's great!' it's in."
Erlandson said he loves creation, invention, innovation and consumer products. He feels there's nothing better than dreaming up a product idea and seeing it come to life on the retail shelf.
He spoke to The Star-Ledger about the business behind recreation.
Q. What is the biggest challenge in developing a product?
A. The speed things move in this day and age, the speed at which retailers want changes, the speed at which consumers expect new products and the speed at which products can be knocked off by direct import companies in China This has been the best and worst change due to advanced technology in computers and phones.
Q. If someone developed a new game or toy how would they get that idea to someone like you?
A. We are probably one of the best companies for outside inventors to work with. Our process is simple, quick and easy. The inventor can call Sportcraft and say they have an idea.
They are then passed on to our marketing department to give their name and information. We send them a packet to fill out with their idea and a non-disclosure agreement. Once they send this back, we usually get back to them in two to three weeks.
If we like the idea we usually sign a contract with the inventor a few weeks after that. It's that simple.
Q. What's your all time favorite game to play?
A. I used to be into horseshoes but recently I've become a huge fan of bean bag toss. It is a great game and you can play it anywhere!

It's a near-perfect political Rorschach test: What do you see in the picture of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer pointing her finger in the face of President Obama when he arrived in Phoenix Wednesday?
They're both standing on the airport tarmac. Brewer, seen in profile, has her mouth agape, as if she has raised her voice as well as her finger to make a point. Obama has leaned in, squinting perhaps from the sun, and lips only slightly parted. His right arm has reached out to Brewer, and his look is almost quizzical.
Brewer said she and the president had a sharp exchange over Brewer's book, "Scorpions for Breakfast." In the book, Brewer characterized a 2010 meeting with Obama as "condescending." Obama at the time said it was "cordial." Their topic: Arizona's tough immigration law, which Obama's justice department later sued to overturn.
It's a red-meat moment for Red Staters – the visual equivalent of that infamous "You lie!" shout from a congressman at Obama's health care address in 2009. For those who despise Obama, Brewer is putting that "dictatorial-socialist-Kenyan-born" president in his place. You can be sure Brewer will use the photo in her fundraising and campaign literature.
For many Obama boosters in the blue states, it's yet another example of the lack of respect toward the nation's first black president, and the inability of the right to disagree without being disagreeable. Obama perhaps never more strongly evokes baseball legend Jackie Robinson, stoically enduring abuse from white teammates who resent his inclusion in the club.
Here are some comments from around the web today. What do you see?

For three years, Pennsylvania Democrats have pointed to budget-balancing cuts in education aid that Republican Gov. Tom Corbett signed.
And it shows. Franklin and Marshall College pollster Terry Madonna says education is the single-most important issue to Pennsylvania voters for the first time in modern history.
Corbett may finally have found an effective strategy to counter that attack.
He's pounding the Republican-controlled Legislature for not reining in a $50 billion pension debt that, he charges, is driving up property taxes, hurting families and squeezing out money for classrooms.
But Corbett's doing it with less than four months until the Nov. 4 election as he tries to turn around poor polling numbers in his race against Democrat Tom Wolf.
Still, Madonna says, at this point, he has no other choice.

Here is some of what's happening in the West Shore communities of Bay Village, Rocky River and Westlake.
Challenge Cup: This year's basketball Challenge Cup, a tradition in Rocky River, raised more than $6,000 for programs and services provided by Recovery Resources' Community Challenge, which aims to prevent the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by young people. The 23rd annual event last Friday featured two games involving staff and faculty from the Rocky River schools and leaders from the community. In the first game, the Community Challengers -- a city team coached by Law Director Andy Bemer -- prevailed over the High School Hoopsters. In the second game, the Goldwood/Kensington Gym Rats topped the Middle School Maniacs. (Rocky River schools)
Equestrian qualifier: Karalyn Suter, a sophomore at Westlake High School, has qualified in junior varsity beginner horsemanship to ride in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association's regional western competition. Karalyn, who rides for Equine Differences in Oberlin, will compete with other high school riders from Summit, Stark, Lorain, Medina, Mahoning and Tuscarawas counties on May 10 in Sullivan. (Westlake schools)
Blizzard bags: Bay Village students may not have to extend their school year to make up the sixth "calamity day" that the district had to take during the harsh winter. The state allows five calamity days before districts have to tack on up to four contingency days built into the school calendar or lengthen the school day. After that, under a measure approved this year by the state legislature, districts would qualify for four more calamity days. Bay Village had been scheduled to use June 9 as its makeup day, but now intends to use "blizzard bags" with online or take home assignments instead. (Bay Village schools)

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Three men in a maroon minivan who attempted an armed robbery on Syracuse's South Side early Saturday morning failed when their victim had nothing for them in his pockets to steal, police said.
Sgt. Tom Connellan gave the following account:
A male victim told police he was walking on the 100 block of Fillmore Avenue around 2:10 a.m. when a maroon mini van occupied by three black males pulled up to him.
One of the suspects got out of the van and threatened the victim with a small silver handgun.
The man went through the victim's pockets, but there was nothing in his pockets.
The suspect got back into the van and the three men drove away northbound on South Salina Street.
The victim told police that the suspect armed with the gun was of average height and build, and wore a black sweatshirt and a black mask.

Sometime in the next 12 to 18 months, the Big Ten has a serious decision to make.
Just what is the biggest, baddest college athletic conference in the Midwest going to call itself?
Big Ten could work. After all, who cares if there are already 11 members?
Big 12 won't. It's already taken.
The Place Where we Take Academics Seriously Unlike the SEC probably won't work, either. It's just too long.
But, make no mistake, the Big Ten is serious about expanding from 11 to 12 teams. Wisconsin Athletics Director Barry Alvarez and Ohio State President Gordon Gee have both endorsed the plan to expand.
The benefits are obvious: it would allow for a football conference championship again (and allow a Big Ten team to actually play a game in December) and it could broaden the conference's appeal geographically.
It's also risky. If the Big Ten doesn't make the right choice, a 12th team would merely mean 12 hungry presidents divvying a revenue pie that's better suited for 11.
Already, there are abundant good fits, according to newspapers and talk radio shows across the country.
Big 12 member Missouri would give the Big Ten quality football and basketball programs, plus large TV markets in St. Louis and Kansas City.
Big East members Rutgers and, to a lesser degree, Syracuse would give the Big Ten entree into the biggest market of all, New York City.
(Memo to Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany: the Big Apple is enticing, but no one there except Warren St. John and Allen Barra cares about college football, ya know?)
If the Big 12 borrows from the Big East, it could impact Conference USA. The league has seen Cincinnati and South Florida depart for the Big East and earn BCS bowl bids. Memphis would be a likely target if the Big 12 leaves a Big East void.
Other candidates for Big Ten expansion include Pittsburgh (a perfect rival for Penn State) and Iowa State (ditto, Iowa).
But you and I know there's only one choice. Hail, hail for old Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish rejected the Big Ten before. While the Notre Dame luster may have faded, the largest of the independents still has a TV Contract with NBC through the 2015 season.
Why give that up?
Because you have to think of the long term. Unless the economy returns to early-decade levels in a hurry, NBC might be gun shy to back up the Brinks truck for another gaudy deal when the current pact runs dry.
The Big Ten could agree to let Notre Dame keep its current NBC deal for a few more years in return for some revenue sharing. Would ABC and ESPN go along? Notre Dame, even as a regular road team for Big Ten games, would likely have serious appeal to both networks.
It would make Notre Dame's scheduling easier. It would give Notre Dame peers who are similarly competitive with like-minded academic standards.
Most important for the Big Ten: it's the one expansion move that would give the league more bang for the bucks that would be distributed 12 ways.

Returning Student Housing Information
All Salem State undergraduate students who wish to live on campus are welcome to visit residence life to discuss space availability and options. Students who wish to live on campus must first pay a housing deposit either at the Navigation Center or online through TouchNet (follow the links in Navigator).
Selecting a Room without a Roommate
Room selection is your opportunity to select a living space for the upcoming academic year. You are strongly urged to make every attempt to choose a room and a roommate. In the event that you do not have a roommate, you may still participate in room selection. You will be assigned with another student in a double with the same residence hall. This will occur during the room selection process or over the summer.
Consolidation of Vacancies
A student with a vacancy in their chosen room can expect to be consolidated in order to make room for the incoming first-year students and returning students. This may involve reassignment to a room in another building. Please communicate with your roommate any changes in your status to help him or her plan accordingly and to prepare for consolidation.
Lottery Numbers
Lottery numbers are randomly assigned by computer and will be sent to you via email. Lottery numbers will be sent to all current first-year, sophomore and junior residents who have paid their housing deposit before March 1. In order to receive a date and time for room selection you must complete a license agreement. If you did not receive a lottery number and have paid your housing deposit as well as filled out a license agreement come to the residence life office to speak with the assistant director of housing operations. If you are currently commuting or on a leave and you wish to participate, go to the residence life office, located in Atlantic Hall first floor.
Two or more students who choose to live together in a double, triple, quad, or apartment may make their selection according to the best priority number of any member for the group. Each member of the group must be registered with 12 or more credits for the fall semester to participate in room selection.
Roommate Changes after Room Selection
If your roommate cancels during the academic year or during the summer, you will be assigned a new roommate or be reassigned to another room and roommate. It is wise, therefore, to discuss with your prospective roommates their plans for the upcoming academic year. The residence life office reserves the right to consolidate vacancies. You will not be able to maintain your double as a double-single.
Theme Housing
If you have been accepted into themed housing, you are not eligible to participate in room selection. Themed housing assignments are at a later date coordinated through the residence life office. A student interested in theme housing must complete the online themed housing application by March 1, but will not be invited to room selection or distributed a lottery number.

The Beggar's Opera
Jan 28, 2014 to Feb 1, 2014
"The lower sort of people have their vices as well as the RICH:
But the POOR are always punished for them."
At its London premiere in 1728, John Gay's rollicking Beggar's Opera caused a sensation. Lampooning the politics and public morality of the day, it became an instant hit.
In a Toronto prison in 2014, inmates crack open this satirical tale of crime, corruption, social inequality – and a very messy love triangle. Thieves, gangsters, politicians, lawyers . . . who can tell them apart?
Come spend some time with us in prison, and see how much things have changed – or not – since the 18th century.

A former Lower Pottsgrove man, who was charged with DUI as a teen following a deadly crash, is facing DUI charges for the second time.
Austin Ewers was previously charged as a juvenile in a 2009 Chester County wreck that left two teenage boys dead and five others hurt. Police said Ewers, 16 at the time, was intoxicated while driving an SUV on Route 724 in East Coventry Township that hit and embankment and rolled over, and then hit another car that was coming in the other direction.
Now Ewers is being held at Lawrence County Prison for an alleged DUI incident that happened in the county back in November.
Ewers had been in a treatment program for the 2009 wreck, but the case against him as a juvenile was administratively closed Wednesday when Ewers turned 21. As a result, authorities in Lawrence County took Ewers into custody.
He is being held on $50,000 bail.

Porgy and Bess Broadway Production at Academy of Music
Broadway Musical Production
The Academy of Music
Philadelphia, PA
February 18, 2014
Following its multi-Tony Award-winning run on Broadway, an electrifying stage revival of George and Ira Gershwin's Porgy and Bess came to Philadelphia as part of an original cast national tour. For jazz aficionados, this timeless masterpiece, which debuted in Boston in 1935, is a quintessential opera in the jazz idiom, the purest and most potent illustration of why jazz has been called "America's classical music." It is a full operatic work that rivals any in the classic repertoire. Yet it is all Gershwin, and its music not only includes jazz standards such as "Summertime" and "I Loves You Porgy," it has become a role model for many subsequent Broadway musicals and pop standards that have since been absorbed into the jazz repertoire, the latter peaking with the Miles Davis/Gil Evans instrumental version (Porgy and Bess, Columbia, 1959).
Porgy and Bess is not only an unrelenting drama with one of the best musical scores ever composed, it is a true milestone in the history of music. It elevated American entertainment to the status of an art form, and it integrated European impressionist genres with African American gospel, swing, and jazz in a way that presaged everything from bebop to Miles Davis, Gil Evans, and John Coltrane to Leonard Bernstein's iconic score for West Side Story. This New Millennium revival used a top creative team that captured the essence of the original, going deep into tradition while yet evoking a postmodern sensibility. After attending this performance, one can only wonder why it is often considered a period piece and not performed more often.
The plot, as complex and circuitous as any of the great operas, involves elements that make for tragedy and triumph. It is the chronicle of an impoverished post-Reconstruction African American community, "Catfish Row," struggling to maintain its integrity; a love triangle (Porgy, a crippled man trying to redeem himself; Bess, a prostitute; and Crown, a drunken bully who claims possession of Bess); two murders in the heat of passion; an anti-hero drug dealer, Sporting Life, who is a devilish advocate of the pleasure principle; a botched investigation of the murders by two white cops; the tragic breakup of Porgy and Bess; Bess' defection from Porgy on "a boat dat's leavin' for New York;" and Porgy's search for his manhood and freedom by eluding the police, leaving Catfish Row, and going it on his own. There is enough here to make for many moments of high drama, interspersed with comic relief. A great songwriter like George Gershwin couldn't have asked for a better libretto (in this case by Dubose and Dorothy Heyward, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin).
A phenomenal cast and creative team too numerous to mention make the show come alive by imparting to it acting, singing, choreography and arrangements that are skillful and imaginative throughout. The choreographer, Ronald K. Brown, infused the show with a combination of dance, trance-like and natural gestures that enliven every inch of the stage and every moment of the action. The musical score was adapted from the original by Obie-winner Deirdre L. Murray, who updated the score with help from orchestrators William David Brohn and Christopher Jahnke, enriching and revitalizing the music while remaining faithful to Gershwin's intent. Actor-singers Nathaniel Stampley (Porgy), Alicia Hall Moran (Bess), Alvin Crawford (Crown), and Kingsley Leggs (Sporting Life) head up a stellar cast who evoke all the emotion and significance of each and every character and song. One could multiply the encomiums indefinitely. Director Diane Paulus more than deserves her Tony Awards for the way she took the massive and diverse talents and energy of her personnel and brought them all together into a unified whole, while carefully attending to the musical and dramatic details so important to an operatic work.
There are several features of this production that make it unique among the various incarnations of Porgy and Bess, not to mention the legions of singles and albums of its song cycle. The first is that it takes seriously the unity and integrity of the whole. Rather than providing entertainment like a Broadway musical as such, it is treated as a unified work of music and theater where every part relates to the whole. It achieves an internal consistency that is rare for any stage production.
The second unique feature is the steadily high energy level. The staging and the specific placement of scenes convey the meaning and significance of the music and action. The choreography and dramatic gestures stunningly complement Gershwin's music as it moves from soft and reflective to erotically arousing to intensely conflicted to provocative and questioning. Frenetic but controlled choreography enhances the way in which Gershwin's fully-realized jazz score expresses feelings and ideas.

TOTTENVILLE -- On Tuesday evening, the beach at the end of Yetman Avenue was tranquil and welcoming. Stars twinkled above the placid surf.
It was a far cry from the same night a year ago, when 13-year-old Angela Dresch and her father, George, 55, perished in Hurricane Sandy.
Tuesday, more than 200 friends gathered to recall what Angela met to them with a walk that started at Tottenville Intermediate, where Angela attended school, and finished at the beach on Yetman -- steps from the house where Angela grew up, and where she died.
"The kids are still struggling terribly because it is so senseless, because she was so young. They are having a hard time just believing it," said co-organizer Romi Cruz, who noted some typical social-media posts: "Come back to us," "Someone wake me up from this nightmare."
Angela's older sister, Jo Ann Moyer, traveled from her home in Nashville, Tenn., to stand on the same beach that she and her sister visited when they were younger, where they found caches of seashells and beach glass to bring home.
"And my mother would yell at us: 'You're bringing back more?!'" she recalled.
"It's awesome," said Ms. Moyer, a co-orgainzer of the vigil. "It makes me feel great to know Angela was loved in the community and all her friends are here."
Ms. Moyer recalled returning after the storm to discover remnants of her life on Yetman. She found her father's wedding ring; her mother's wedding dress: "It was hanging in a tree, like an angel."
And, finally, a small flame-shaped necklace with her sister's name on it -- a trinket the two picked up when they visited a boardwalk in New Jersey.
"It was the last day. I was leaving to go home to Tennessee and I walked and this was still on the ground and I took and I have it," she said of the bauble around her neck.
Friends Katherine Hrzic of Pleasant Plains and Katlynn Novak of Rossville, both 14, were on hand. Miss Hrzic recalled Angela as "sweet, giving out the best advice and having a great sense of humor."
"It's depressing, but nice to see how people love and support her and how they came out here. She was loved by a lot of people," said Ms. Novak.
Then there were those who never met Angela but knew good things about her, like Danielle Wright and Isabella Cucuzza, both 11, of Rossville.
Isabella said her sister was friends with Angela, and from being in the room when the two video-chatted, she observed that Angela "always just made [the sister] smile."
"From hearing about her," added Danielle, "I thought she would have been a great friend to have."

SPRINGFIELD – Familiar faces. Predictable results.
That was pretty much the story line at the 35th Annual Fourth of July 5K Road Race sponsored by the Greater Springfield Harriers on a hot and humid holiday morning outside the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Ludlow's Brian Fuller, the 2009 winner, easily outdistanced this year's field, covering the flat course in 15 minutes, 28 seconds.
In the women division, Westfield's Anne Paredes, 31, and Carolyn Stocker, 19, staged their own duel in the summer sun from start to finish, with Paredes crossing the tape a scant second ahead of Stocker (19:16 to 19:17). Stocker, a sophomore running cross country and spring track at the University of Maine, established the course record a year ago in 17:38.
"It was very hot out there today," said Paredes, a Spanish teacher at Blessed Sacrament School. "The sun was right in your face. Carolyn really pushed me today."
Stocker, coming off another successful outing at the Mount Washington Road Race this past weekend, said, "I felt pretty good today. I had my personal best time at the Mount Washington Race and am getting ready for another one on Sunday at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire."
Fuller, working on his master's degree in exercise physiology at Springfield College, had his sights set on reclaiming the course record he established at the 2009 race (15:15) but was broken last year by his friend and former Ludlow High School teammate Kevin Johnson (15:11).
Fuller was in Colorado and missed the 2011 race and this year both Johnson and his twin brother David were not around for Wednesday's race.
"I was hoping to get the record back today, but the heat was a factor and I missed a turn during the race which cost me some time. Overall, I was happy with the effort," Fuller said.
Greater Springfield Harriers president Peter Stasz was pleased with the approximate turnout of 300 runners.
"This is an important race for us, Stasz said. "We've been doing it for 35 years as a club. We want a major race in Springfield and this should be it."
Fuller will continue his summer training with the Western Mass. Distance Project Team, which was formed, according to him, "to recreate that college locker room running experience by a small group of running friends from high school and college."
He plans on entering several New England Grand Prix Road Race Series events as well as the Chicago Marathon in October.
Paredes trains on her own and has no other road races on her calendar except for one of the grandaddies of them all – the New York City Marathon on Nov. 4.
Finishing second and third, respectively (behind Fuller), were Jesse Regnier (16:12) and Troy French (16:29), with fourth-place finisher Mark Hixon close behind in a sprint to the end line (16:29).
Besides the Greater Springfield Harriers, the two other event sponsors were Fast Feet and Millenium Press.

The auto-dialed recorded messages were designed to sound urgent, and instructed consumers to press 1 to talk to a representative, who would proceed to hard sell the rate reduction scheme.
Consumers were required to pay an up-front fee. Each consumer will receive a check for between $31 and $1,300, based on how much money he or she lost in the scam.
While the FTC has successfully stopped that particular scam, which included messages from "Heather from Card Services", the scam is as active as ever.
Consumers nationwide now report getting robocalls from "Rachel" - same pitch. Same upfront fee demand. Same scam.

Sheriff Scott Berry announced on Wednesday that Valentine's Day would be cancelled due to poor driving conditions following icy and cold weather in Georgia. The announcement was made on the sheriff office's official Facebook page and has more than 1,500 likes today.
The post told men to not worry about having to buy flowers because it is unsafe to drive. It currently has nearly 2,000 comments but the sheriff's office reports that hate mail has been coming in steady, heavy volumes since.
"And the fan mail keeps coming in..this is the text of an actual email I just received:
'Once again a public official makes a ridiculous statement and makes Georgians look totally backwards red necks. Nothing like National News to get this unbelievable statement and add their spin to it. No wonder people in other states think we are " stupid hillbillies !!!!" Think before opening mouth. Good rule to live by!!! '
Another message was quoted on the page which had a more commanding, challenging tone.
'Legally you cannot cancel valentines day. I am telling people in your area to ignore any cancellations that deals with valentines day. I told them to go ahead and have it. Your abusing your power in office and abusing the badge. I will have your job taken away from you legally, by contacting the State Level to remove you if you try to enforce it. Your call and make it wisely. It will cost your job if you try to abuse the office and the badge.
And you will be flipping burgers for the rest of your life nationwide.'
Berry has told people it was a joke, which he said angers some of them even more, according to the page.
He also said on the page that calls from news media outlets throughout the country have been coming in to the office and to him since the post.
Georgia was one of the state's hit hardest by last week's winter storm. Several hundred cars were stranded along interstates for almost an entire day and schools were cancelled with students still on buses that never made it home from school the day before.
The sheriff's office page has several other posts with hints of humor, some even making fun of Berry's hair.
What do you think about the sheriff's office making light of the situation on Facebook? Funny and lighthearted or unprofessional and embarrassing for residents?
Tell us in the comments section below and share your thoughts on social media about humor in social media when it comes to your local officials and offices.

Are you healthy and fit yourself? If not then you will not be in a position to do anything as you will have no credibility and already in the opposite end of the parent-child relationship.
Maybe you should read Boundaries by John Acuff, and no it isn't your place to tell others how to live if they aren't looking for advice, family of not.
Some of you may die, but that is a risk I'm willing to take.
My Grandfather grew up on a farm and they pretty much raised everything they ate when he was a kid. His whole life he ate meat, potatoes, vegetables and fruit with a little bread thrown in here and there. He would have the occasional piece of pie, cake or cookie but was pretty much what we call "primal". My aunt was a vegetarian for as long as I can remember and she would harass him endlessly about his diet just wanting to "help". He would always be polite but continued to eat pork chops, rib-eye and chicken and the fat and all. She would ride his ass every time she was around until she passed away in her late 60's. He lived over 10 after her passing and died at 96.
The point is while she thought she was trying to help and that her advice was 100% correct(as we all do) she was most likely dead wrong. I am sure she thought he was a stubborn old man and he was killing himself with his diet. I am sure she ranted to her friends about how her father was slowly killing himself with all of that saturated fat. I am sure he thought she was on some crazy diet and had no interest in what she had to say but he lived his life and let here live hers. Live and let live as they say.
Hey, we're all killing ourselves one day at a time just by being alive.
You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
Only offer advice when it's desired. You can't help someone that doesn't even acknowledge a problem or is willing to put the effort in. It's like trying to get an overweight person to lose weight on your terms because you feel you see the answer that they don't; it's not your call and very unlikely anything you say will motivate them to do what you see as the clear path from the outside of their world. I think most people are very good at critiquing others but few are open to others steering them.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
Drumroll--I'm sorry you have this to deal with in all senses of that term (as well as the rest of you who wrote about similar issues...). I would probably guess it would be worse if it were your grown child who was resisting....
I could have been your father. I certainly have a family history of that kind of mother.... I don't have your father's personality (or what it sounds like), but my vegetarianism wasn't doing me any favors when my (at the time) newly primal 38 year old son mentioned primal to me, saying he was concerned that I wasn't looking as healthy as i could. I thought about it, I researched MDA, and I decided that my son "should" be able to give me advice--he's an intelligent, caring, thoughtful and gentle son for pointing out to me what might be better for me. I heard him--your father can't. That's sad.
And my son was right...
So I guess what i would say is to take this experience with your father and decide that, when the time comes and your own children (if you have them...) come to you with advice that may, at first, seem to be wrong, to still listen and contemplate and think and consider and research and think some more...and thank them for offering you alternatives. In other words, make better for your own children what your own parent couldn't.
When it comes to diet...
Some people are change-seekers. They actively seek out new food experiences based on feelings and enjoyment. They think about how foods make them feel and take that into consideration when making choices.
Some people are change-avoiders. They continue to eat the foods of their childhood, or gradually let them go and replace some due to availability and cultural considerations like advertising and convenience. If their doctor gives them a diet and lifestyle plan that is very different, they may ignore it or pick one or two superficial changes to make, carefully avoiding making real changes. Hey, there's always drugs and surgery, right?
Some people are dietary change-seekers based on theoretical criteria. They read lots of articles with titles like "10 superfoods you need to eat" and "7 reasons you need to eat more fiber NOW". They may consume diets based entirely on CW. They choose their foods for supposed medicinal value. And because it is all theoretical and based on authority, there is never any n=1 to test.
That last one's my Mom.
you know the old saying "we all go to hell our own way" sadly its kind of true. 3 months ago i simply couldn't have imagined how different I would feel for just removing grain and the related processed carbs. 4 months ago when my husband introduced me to wheat belly it made sense but I couldn't envision what to eat instead.
Now I'm really back to eating almost what I ate as a kid. I have eggs or egg and bacon for breakfast without the bread and have mushrooms instead. I have meat and 3 veg for dinner without potato. for lunch I have a bread less sandwich ,the current favourite being egg,cress and mayonnaise wrapped in ham. my evening snacks are cherries, berries or a peach. My blood sugar remains in the 8s rather than 15-17 and this week i am even getting the odd 7,( I've had to stop my Sitagliptin as it started pushing me under 4 then I was getting a hypo rebound of around 10.)
Yet if someone had told me this information I cant honestly say I would have fully believed them. I remain shocked at how deeply the low fat, whole grain, no read meat etc dietary information is entrenched in my brain despite the ever increasing information to the contrary.
I had a full blood sequence done on Friday and will get the results on the 16th when I see my oncologist to determine if the cancer continues to grow or not and I will be interested to see the results particularly my HbA1c and cholesterol.

Message me (afava in red above) if these are yours. Left at General Smallwood yesterday:
- Mizuno wave rider - women's
- Altra - The Samson
- Black Nike Dry Fit cap
I think I left about 7 pounds of sweat somewhere down there. Have you seen it?
Yes!!! Andrea those Altras are mine! So is the cap. I was just going around the house getting stuff together for tomorrow's workout and realized I didnt have either.
my lost and found list is pretty extensive: bike, everything left in transition, gear backpack, car, beloved neon race shoes, race shorts i was wearing (!), race belt with 1 gu (still good!), red cyto water bottle i scrounged up at the air force cycling classic, etc, etc. thank you everyone who recovered my stuff when i went to the hospital. i believe my parents have most of it, but ill connect with others about the remaining items when i leave the hospital.
...and to the general smallwood state park police who gave me a $30 parking ticket for leaving my car onsite saturday night when i was in the ER... seriously!?!
Glad you're doing better Luke. We searched everywhere for your keys so we could drive your car back to DC but couldn't find them.
I left two pairs of backup goggles and walking clogs under a bulletin board type post behind the swim pier, in case anyone picked them up.
Luke, the park police actually gave you a ticket for speeding on the bike course.....
What a wild race, especially among the men, with Patrick S finishing 5th after riding with running shoes, Luke in the lead for some time, and Phil S, who missed out on Kona this year by several minutes after PRing in awful heat, hitting the finish tape first, but edged for gold by someone in a different wave, and all in record heat!
thanks for bringing my stuff back, and trying to bring my car back. my keys and liscense were in my black training pants, buried in my backpack.
looks like we had a number of strong finishes! (and strong dnf's in some cases!). why did patrick ride in running shoes!?!
congrats on breaking the tape phil!!
I still have an unclaimed pair Mizuno wave riders.
Also, a DC Tri cap from Swim for Life.
Last call - I still have a pair of Mizuno running shoes left at General Smallwood. They are relatively new. Claim them asap. Will be donating to High Cloud if I don't hear from you. Andrea

3 More Outrageously Cheap Stocks
With all of the recent volatility in the market, what stocks are outrageously cheap?
I found one recently, and I got to thinking about the others out there when I read money manager Bill Miller's comment that "the market abounds with good value." Of course, Miller also wrote last August that stocks were the cheapest they'd been since 1991 ... and after a brief rebound, they've gone right on dropping. Miller's fund has suffered because of core holdings in some recently deceptively cheap stocks such as UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) , Aetna (NYSE: AET ) , and Sprint (NYSE: S ) .
Given the wary financial markets, a recent rash of writedowns, and a slowing economy, it should be clear that not all stocks that look cheap are cheap (with no disrespect intended to the talented Bill Miller). Both Warren Buffett and John Hussman have recently affirmed that lesson.
There are, however, some individual stocks today that, for one reason or another, not only present "good value" but are outrageously cheap.
Back up the truck, people
What makes for an outrageously cheap stock? Here's my short list:
- A balance sheet with lots of cash and no debt.
- An EV/EBITDA ratio less than 6.
- A business with the financial strength and strategy to survive and thrive in a down economy.
- No potential for massive writedowns.
- The stock price has been pummeled.
Of course, there's not a single American company with a market cap of more than $4 billion that meets those criteria, so if you're looking for an outrageously cheap stock, you may need to start thinking of yourself as a small-cap investor.
Welcome to the jungle
In truth, large caps such as EMC (NYSE: EMC ) attract far too much investor attention to ever become inefficiently priced. That $22 billion tech giant is tracked by 30 sell-side analysts.
You generally won't find as much interest among small caps, which is one of the reasons why -- given the criteria above -- Chico's (NYSE: CHS ) ,Volcom (Nasdaq: VLCM ) , and Obagi Medical Products (Nasdaq: OMPI ) look outrageously cheap.

Yes, that last subhead was a Guns N' Roses reference
The reason we love being small-cap investors at Motley Fool Hidden Gems is because it's the one area of the market where, as a result of inefficiencies and a lack of Wall Street interest, stocks can become outrageously cheap.

When Barack Obama takes the stage Thursday on Calder Plaza, he will deliver a message tailored to a critical constituency beyond the city borders.
Once a stronghold for Republicans, suburbs are the new presidential battleground as Obama seeks to build on support in Grand Rapids to challenge GOP domination in suburban Kent and Ottawa counties.
"I would call myself a born-again independent," said East Grand Rapids resident Dennis Maguire.
His front lawn is one of several in the neighborhood with blue-and-white Obama signs.
Maguire, 69, said he voted for Republican presidential candidates as far back as he could recall until 2004, when he bailed on President Bush to vote for Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.
Maguire said he might have considered a moderate Republican, such as Colin Powell, had one been running.
He finds those qualities lacking in Republican John McCain, while he thinks Obama offers a more temperate foreign policy.
