The US is a nation made up of people who ****-talk unions as both greedy and worthless
While jealously *****ing about how people in unions make so much more and have such better benefits than they do and most people would kill for that.
Kill, sure. Collectively bargain? ICK, SOCIALIST.
Here is in a nutshell the issue with the people who work here, told in three grilled cheese sandwiches.
Grilled cheese one. End of the night, a to go for one of our servers. The way we do it in most restaurants, save of course for diner type places, is to toast the bread (the outsides) in butter, put the cheese on each piece, and place in the oven to melt, since doing it in the typical fashion takes quite a while compared to to this. You can do the salamander for even faster results, but this often burns any bit of bread that might be even a tiny bit exposed, especially a very buttery bread like brioche, which we use, and which burns in seconds.
Anyway, I check it and it has just a tiny bit more to go to finish melting the cheese. I go get a bucket of soap to clean my station. As I'm coming back, I see the woman who works on grill who is completely incapable of minding her own damn business ever taking it out. I tell her it needs a bit longer and that's why I hadn't taken it out yet. I tell her it's not melted. She points to all the oozing cheese and I point to the center of the now assembled and cut sandwich which is clearly not melted. She's already put it away in the to-go box and I'm annoyed. She's older than everyone and mothers the hell out of everyone. She frequently refers to people as children, so I've been called "little girl". Heeelp me . . .
Grilled cheese number two. I had gone on break and came back to find guy I've been training (who normally works GM here) making a grilled cheese. It was a kids' one, so white bread and American. The thinness of the bread and the low melting point of Anerican means you can actually assemble the whole thing and cook it on the flattop the whole way through. By the time the bread is nicely toasted the cheese is melted.
Anyway, he understood the woman who works grill to have said rye bread instead of white bread. So he had to re-do it. He doesn't add butter to the flattop, puts cheese on bread, pulls it off. I tell him that not only is the cheese not melted, but the bread has no color. I put some butter on the flattop, tell him to put it back on, and I swear it must have taken just 30 seconds more for it to be beautifully golden and actually melted.
Grilled cheese number three.
He gets a regular grilled cheese and for some unknown reason puts the bread under the salamander instead of in the oven. This was going with a bunch of other food, including a burger, which takes longer to cook, so there was no rush anyway. Of course a portion of the bread burns because it was exposed. He then goes to put it together and I point out how it's burned. He says he'll take care of it and proceeds to cut off that whole portion. This isn't just a little edge, but a decent bit of the top of the sandwich. So now it looks decidedly smaller than it should. I tell him no, make another one.
People, this is ****ing grilled cheese! It's as basic as you can ****ing get. Melt the cheese is as basic a concept as it gets. The woman actually said to me that I was trying to get fancy by requiring that the cheese be melted. FANCY!!!
Not only are they totally okay with sending out pale, unmelted grilled cheese sandwiches, they are like many cooks stuck on the idea that "the faster I can get it out, the more awesome I am", when no, that just makes you a really fast shoemaker. I'm so sick of cooks who respect speed and nothing else in a kitchen. It's part of why some cooks seem to think I'm somehow not a strong cook, because I take that extra bit of time, the time it actually takes, to have something be the way it's supposed to be.
Davin is wandering around saying, "Heck," because I asked him, "What the heck?" this morning. LOL Since he says, "No," all the time, I've decided I'm going to teach him to say, "Heck, no!" for kicks and giggles.
Netflix really did well this go-around. Aside from Dinosaurs, I've seen that Baccano! and Samurai Champloo are both there now. I watched Mean Girls this morning then saw that Clueless is also there now. I want to know what other awesome things they've added!

Aussie Rowland-Smith shows off hometown
SYDNEY -- Ryan Rowland-Smith was a man very much in demand Tuesday.
The D-backs left-hander returned to the city of his birth in the wee hours of the morning, and he found himself playing tour guide on the bus ride from the hotel to the Sydney Cricket Ground for the team's practice.
"Driving here, everyone was asking even the simple stuff," he said. "And stuff I didn't know the answer to, I just made stuff up."
The last time Rowland-Smith was at the stadium, he was a kid, and he and his dad sat up in the nosebleed section.
On Thursday, Rowland-Smith will be on the field pitching for the Australian national team against the Dodgers, and he might see action the following night for the D-backs against Team Australia.
The stadium has changed quite a bit since Rowland-Smith was last there.
"It looks amazing," he said. "It fits the unique dimensions of a baseball field a lot better than I thought. I was expecting maybe a situation where the seats would be far back, but no. This is amazing. It looks legitimate like a baseball field."
Rowland-Smith did have some tips for his teammates for their off time this week.
"As long as guys can get out of the tour buses and try to experience a little bit of the real Australian culture away from all this," Rowland-Smith said. "They will love it."

February 12, 1935: Patent granted for Van de Graaff generator
Van de Graaff generator
Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Van de Graaff earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Alabama. He worked at the Alabama Power Company for a year and studied at the Sorbonne, where he heard lectures by Marie Curie on radiation. He subsequently won a Rhodes Scholarship, earning a second B.S. in physics from Oxford University in 1926, completing his PhD in 1928.
While at Oxford, he became acquainted with Ernest Rutherford's work in nuclear physics, and Rutherford's idea that accelerating particles to very high speeds could disintegrate nuclei, enabling scientists to better study the nature of individual atoms.
Van de Graaff brought the notion of a particle accelerator back with him to the States in 1929, when he joined Princeton's Palmer Physics Laboratory. There, he constructed a working model of an "electrostatic accelerator" capable of generating 80,000 volts. That rudimentary prototype used a silk ribbon from the local five-and-dime store as a charge transport belt, running between two metal pulleys.
By November 1931, he had sufficiently improved his design to produce over 1 million volts, and demonstrated his device at the inaugural dinner of the American Institute of Physics. He presented a paper about his electrostatic accelerator at an APS meeting that same year.
He was not the only scientist working on such a project. In fact, the underlying concept dated back more than 250 years before Van de Graaff. Around 1663, Otto von Guericke constructed a primitive frictional electrical machine using a sulfur globe that could be rotated and rubbed by hand. (In Opticks, Isaac Newton suggested replacing the sulfur globe with a glass one.) By 1785, N. Rouland had invented an electrostatic generator that used a silk ribbon running continuously between two pulleys to produce static electricity. And in 1893, the von Busch generator appeared, a similar machine that used two pulleys and a belt with a charge collector comb in an insulated sphere.
Shortly after Van de Graaff's model demonstration, John D. Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, at the famed Cavendish Laboratory in England, built their own version of a particle accelerator in 1932, using voltage multiplier circuits to generate power. That machine was bulky and rather limited in how much voltage it could produce, however. Van de Graaff's design would ultimately prove to be both more compact, and capable of higher voltages, and hence, greater acceleration of particles.
In 1932, Van de Graaff joined MIT as a research associate, where he started building a large-scale version of his machine. Housed in an empty aircraft hangar on a local estate in South Dartmouth, MA, Van de Graaff's full-sized machine boasted two polished aluminum spheres mounted on insulating columns. Those columns in turn were placed on trucks in order to elevate the spheres 43 feet above ground.
He debuted his invention on November 28, 1933, which made headlines when it produced a staggering (for the time) 7 million volts. (The smaller Van de Graaff generators used for public demonstrations generate between 100,000 and 500,000 volts.) A patent for the Van de Graaff generator was awarded in February, 1935.
The device won the admiration of none other than Nikola Tesla, who wrote a Scientific American article on the new Van de Graaff generator in 1934, declaring, "I believe that when new types [of Van de Graaff generators] are developed and sufficiently improved a great future will be assured to them." Tesla was prescient, as always: the generators have since been used not just in atomic physics, but also for applications in medicine and industry.
Harvard Medical School was the first to use his machine clinically to produce X-rays for the treatment of cancerous tumors with radiation in 1937. A large Van de Graaff generator was installed in the Palais de la Decouverte during the 1937 Paris Universal Exhibition under the direction of Frederic Joliot, enclosed in a giant Faraday cage. Audiences thrilled to the meters-long sparks produced by the machine, and its debut was featured on the covers of several magazines. The intent was to use the machine as a source of radioelements, but the outbreak of World War II intervened, and it was eventually scrapped.
Van de Graaff spent the war as director of the High Voltage Radiographic Project, part of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, adapting his electrostatic generator for the U.S. Navy. Once the war ended, he returned to MIT and co-founded the High Voltage Engineering Corporation (HVEC) with John D. Trump. HVEC soon became a major supplier of electrostatic generators used for cancer therapy, radiography, and for the study of nuclear structure in scientific laboratories.
Tandem Van de Graaff accelerators first appeared in 1951, based on earlier work on the tandem principle by William Bennett in 1937. Also in the 1950s, Van de Graaff invented the insulating-core transformer for the production of high-voltage direct current–using magnetic flux instead of electrostatic charge–as well as many new methods for controlling particle beams. He stayed at MIT until 1960, when he resigned to work full-time at HVEC.
In 1966, he was awarded the APS Tom W. Bonner Prize for his "device that has immeasurably advanced nuclear physics." It was especially apropos, since Bonner himself had used a Van de Graaff generator in his fundamental work on nuclear structure. By the time Van de Graaff died in Boston on January 16, 1967, at the age of 65, there were more than 500 Van de Graaff particle accelerators in over 30 countries around the world.

Dental Anesthesia
Extreme Earache/Headache Following Injection
Being on welfare in Australia i received dental treatment from a student in their final year. As he put the needle in my lower jaw shooting electric shock flashed across my entire face. It took her a good minute to finish putting the needle in. Now 7 days later i am still very tender in that area of the jaw but am now experiencing pain (quite a lot!)behind the ear and in the ear, this is as well as quite a hideous headache behind the ear. I have never had an earache (i am 40) and rarely headaches i am in top health with no signs of cold/sinus/flu/cough etc. Could it be possible that the injection has caused this pain/headache. I have been to a doctor whom has said my ear drum is bulging which would be painful.. no normal signs of infection but has given me antibiotics anyway. I happily signed a consent for the student to work on me and am not on a blame crusade.. just curious .. thanks a lot
It is not uncommon for the injection of local anesthesia to get so close to the nerve that the needle touches it causing an electric shock like sensation. Pain in the region you describe is unlikely, particularly with one of two common injection techniques. It is possible that the pain is related to a Gow-Gates injection, but this is also very unlikely. It may be tooth-related, actually.
You may want to visit with your dentist who can rule in or out a dental cause.

I'm looking for an instruction how to train the Brahmaviharas, especially Upekkha by means of meditation.
1. Can anybody tell me what methods the Buddha taught for this purpose?
So far I figured out that the similes the Buddha used to explain these mental qualities can serve as objects of reflection to cultivate these states. (see here for example)
So basically I'd just reflect on these similes and mindstates very often to try to bring them to arise, but I don't know whether this is the method of choice. It certainly keeps the mind directed towards wholesome states and I find myself finding own similes just by being aware of the environment. However, it's not a very common object of reflection (or at least none that is talked about very often) so I wonder whether there are other ways I don't know of.
2. While metta-meditation, wishing all beings to be happy and well, extending love to all beings via mantras, is quite in vogue, meditation on karuna, mudita and Upekkha seem to be never talked about by teachers these days (neither mantra nor others). Is anyone familiar with Dhammatalks by a modern teacher who explains meditation on all the Brahmaviharas?
Thanks for any advice friends!

Wow how bad do you have to be if you can't make it as a WR on the Jags?
Jaguars cut Lee Evans
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 12, 2012, 4:12 PM EDT
Lee Evans didnt last long in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars announced today that theyve released Evans, a free agent receiver they signed in April.
Jacksonville drafted receiver Justin Blackmon shortly after signing Evans, a pick that made Evans expendable, so its not surprising that Evans has been released shortly after Blackmon signed. Laurent Robinson is expected to start alongside Blackmon this season, with Cecil Shorts and Mike Thomas behind them on the depth chart.
A 2004 first-round draft pick of the Bills, Evans was traded to the Ravens a year ago and had by far his worst NFL season in Baltimore, catching just four passes in the regular season while battling foot and ankle injuries. In the playoffs he dropped a potentially game-winning touchdown pass that could have given the Ravens a victory over the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.
Now Evans is out of work again, and at age 31 he may be running out of opportunities to play in the NFL.

Senior Stories
Kira McEntire
Kira McEntire had a truly interdisciplinary Southwestern Experience in every sense of the word. A double major in biology and environmental studies with a minor in studio art, Kira created an LED lights project with a grant from the King Creativity Fund, participated in numerous sustainability initiatives on campus, and volunteered at one of the local animal shelters.
What are you most proud of about your time at Southwestern?
I have become proficient enough at both science and art to consider myself a scientist and an artist.
What advice do you have for an incoming first-year student?
Take advantage of opportunities on campus like collaborative research and King Creativity grants. These are some of the things unique to Southwestern and make it worth it.
Who is the person you'll miss most and why?
I will really miss Dr. Laura Hobgood-Oster, professor of religion, because we have a relationship outside of class through dog rescue volunteer work, and because she always had puppies in her office—great for a pick-me-up whenever I needed one.
Was there a particular class or teacher that inspired you?
I loved my First Year Seminar—"Going to the Dogs." We learned everything about dogs from their physiology to politics to their place in history. We also had to volunteer at the local animal shelter, which inspired me to continue volunteering there for the rest of my college career. I was also inspired to become an advocate for 'bully breed' dogs, which I have found to be among the sweetest dogs.
What would people be surprised to learn about you, your work, or your field/industry?
That the salamanders I have started to incorporate into my ceramics are shaped to resemble different types of real salamanders, which I studied with Dr. Ben Pierce, professor of biology.
What else?
I created a recycled materials mosaic mural that will stay on campus indefinitely in the Environmental Studies Lounge in Mood Bridwell Hall.
After graduation, Kira worked as a research assistant for Dr. Pierce and attended a science conference—the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologist and Herpetologists. She has recently started her graduate studies in wildlife biology at the University of Georgia.

BP's Varley earns award
Erin Varley of Bethel Park was selected as one of three recipients of the 2013 Administrator of Tomorrow award as selected by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA).
The NACWAA Administrator of Tomorrow Award recognizes a student, intern or volunteer at an institution, conference office or association for their aspirations and preparations toward a career in intercollegiate athletics. In addition, it acknowledges the outstanding leadership and involvement of the honoree on campus and in the community.
The daughter of Kevin and Kathleeen Varley worked as an intern in the Shippensburg University athletics department last year after playing four seasons of varsity basketball for the women's team.
According to Carrie Michaels, SU's associate director of athletics, Varley is an individual who, "because of her proven ability, conscientious effort, and level of professionalism" has been tasked with a wide range of duties. "It is an understatement to say that she excels at her job responsibilities," she added.
As a result of her award, Varley will attend the 2013 NACWAA National Convention in San Diego in October.
Academically, Varley pursued a dual major in chemistry and exercise science and a dual minor in biology and coaching. She graduated from Shippensburg University in May.
A Bethel Park High School product, Varley excelled in basketball and volleyball scholastically. She averaged seven points, six assists and five rebounds per game during her career. An Almanac Female Athlete of the Year finalist, Varley played on four district playoff teams, one WPIAL finalist squad and three state playoff teams.
Currently, she is working at Healthrax Fitness Center and in the athletic department at the University of Pittsburgh. In the fall, she will return to Shippensburg to continue pursuing her MBA while working as a graduate assistant in the University's athletic department. She will also be a volunteer basketball coach at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa.

On Tuesday, Mercy for Animals released an undercover video allegedly showing abuse at a Wisconsin dairy.
The video reportedly shows abuse at the Wiese Brothers Farm near Greenleaf, Wis.
DiGiorno pizza manufacturer Nestlé announced in the wake of the allegations that it will not longer accept cheese made with milk from the farm. Cheese supplier Foremost Farms USA also discontinued its relationship with the dairy, according to news reports.
NBC News reported Tuesday that an investigation of the farm by the Brown County (Wis.) Sheriff's Department is currently under way. No charges have been filed at this time.
Animal-handling expert Temple Grandin watched the video and is quoted by NBC news as saying, "the actions of these people went beyond rough handling and escalated to the level of cruelty. Kicking, beating, and hard whipping of downed cows is abusive."
The owners said in a statement they are cooperating with local law enforcement and are "shocked and saddened" to see the footage. They have "zero tolerance for animal abuse" and terminated two employees. A third employee was removed from animal-handling responsibilities.
The NBC News report, linked here, contains footage from the video.

I am making a thread because I think this is really important
Brian Schmitz | Sentinel Staff Writer
February 7, 2009
Magic GM Otis Smith said he had other deals on the table other than Lue, including a standing offer to take estranged Pacers point guard Jamaal Tinsley, who has two more years on his deal at nearly $14 million. "We had a lot of offers on the table, but it had to make sense," Smith said. "It didn't make sense to have a $6million backup point guard (to Nelson)." Although another trade is unlikely, Smith said, "We'll still go to talk and listen."

Wilson says calf that was hit feels fine
LOS ANGELES -- Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson said his calf felt fine a day after he was hit by a line drive while pitching his final spring game against the Giants' Triple-A affiliate.
In fact, Wilson said the calf was never an issue at all. He stayed on the hill in the sixth and then came back out for the seventh, before finishing his day with 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball.
Angels Manager Mike Scioscia was pleased with Wilson's length on Thursday (he threw 89 pitches) and said it bodes well heading into his first start of the season.
"He felt good -- he got up and down seven times," Scioscia said. "He got hit on the calf with a comebacker, but he's fine, and he'll be ready to go Game 2 next Wednesday."
In four Cactus League starts, Wilson posted a 7.11 ERA and allowed 23 hits in 12 2/3 innings. But that line is mostly reflective of one poor start against Kansas City last Friday, when he allowed six earned runs in 2 2/3 frames.

Editors' Picks: Deskside Beauty Essentials
Solution: Take a few deep breaths: breathe in through your nose for four seconds (filling your belly with air), hold it for seven seconds, and then, pursing your lips like you're going to kiss someone, blow all of your air out through your mouth for eight seconds. This helps reduce your heart rate and stress level. After you've calmed yourself down, grab an acne clearing gel containing 1 percent salicylic acid and pat it onto your trouble spot twice a day until your breakout goes away. Try Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel.
Solution: If you're often too tired to actually make the effort to wash your face with a facial cleanser and water, keep a packet of cleansing towelettes on your nightstand to keep your pores clear and blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples at bay. Try Olay Fresh Effects S'Wipe Out Refreshing Makeup Removal Cloths, which cleanse and moisturize in one wipe.

Strained shoulder lands Ondrusek on DL
MILWAUKEE -- The Reds placed reliever Logan Ondrusek on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday because of a strained right shoulder. The move, which is retroactive to July 13, led to the recall of reliever Curtis Partch from Triple-A Louisville.
Ondrusek last pitched on July 12 vs. the Pirates and worked a scoreless inning, with two strikeouts, but his arm hasn't felt good lately.
"It had been sore off and on, but nothing that wasn't manageable through normal treatment," Ondrusek said. "After my last outing, the next day it was pretty sore, and I was working on it. I thought a few days off for the All-Star break would kind of kill everything in there. When I came back and started working out again in New York, it still felt the same. I don't think it's anything major."
In 29 appearances, Ondrusek has a 4.31 ERA, with six of his 19 inherited runners scoring. He was shut down from throwing for Tuesday and Wednesday. With the move backdated, he is eligible to return on Monday.
"We're going to be a little conservative and make sure he's OK before we move forward," manager Bryan Price said. "We can hopefully have him back in five to seven days."
Partch, in the big leagues for the fourth time this season, has retired 16 of the 23 batters he has faced.

Penicillin/Amoxicillin Allergy
Why would a doctor give a patient amoxicillin knowing they are allergic to penicillin? My husband was sick went to our family doctor who is aware that he is allergic to penicillin. He prescribed him amoxicillin which he took unaware of the risk and broke out in hives. Why would the doctor do this and what steps should now be taken?

Agree with all of this with one small caveat. My concern with Hibbert is less about his broken shot, and more about his fragile ego. It's always been fragile, and the broken shot so far this year is a symptom of a consistent underlying problem he's had since he was drafted here.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think when people start to see the sky falling with Hibbert, it's likely more around that then his putrid offensive production so far this year. If that resolves, then his work ethic, good health, and inherent size advantage will take care of the rest.
Totally agree however, that we saw a glimpse of "Old Roy" during the GSW game.
Wonder how that carries through against Noah tonight?

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
1. The three bowl approach: fill one bowl with fruit, one with treats and one with dairy (such as tubs of yoghurt or cheese sticks). Let the kids make their own lunches by selecting one item from each bowl. Just add a sandwich, a bottle of water and lunch is ready.
2. Moving on from bread: try bagels, wraps, multigrain sandwich crackers, pitta bread, hot cross buns, scones or pikelets.
3. The surprise factor: Okay, so your kid will not budge from the Vegemite sandwich. Introduce the unexpected by cutting their Vegemite sandwich with a cookie cutter. It may well be their first step in understanding that variety is the spice of life.
4. The leftovers lunch: Cook a little extra dinner the night before and save for lunch the next day. Roast chicken, pasta salad, quiche, homemade pizza slices and sausages are just a few examples that are delicious cold for lunch.
5. The lunchbox: If you use a lunch box that keeps food chilled, you can send tubs of yoghurt, small containers of dip or cottage cheese mixed with pineapple pieces to school without fear of salmonella poisoning.
6. Perfect packaging: hard boiled eggs, small tins of baked beans or tuna and the ziplock bag are a sandwich's best friend - no spills; no soggy sandwich.
7. Filling fillings: banana and honey; mashed egg and mayonnaise; ham, cheese and tomato; cream cheese, tuna, cucumber and carrot.
8. The love note: add a little message from you to brighten their day, and their lunch if they're not going to be happy with what you snuck in!
9. No sneaking things in: Kids will be more likely to eat their lunch if they have had a hand in preparing it. See idea 1.
10. Find something new: ask other mums what they offer their kids for lunch at Kidspot Social.

|Brief Summary
|The scope of this registry study is to measure chemosensitivity as defined by pCR (primary endpoint), or endocrine sensitivity as defined by partial response (decrease in longest tumor diameter or residual cancer burden category 1 (RCB1), a primary endpoint for neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy and a secondary endpoint for neoadjuvant chemotherapy), metastasis-free survival and relapse-free survival(secondary endpoints) in molecular subgroups, determined by the established MammaPrint, BluePrint, Targetprint and Theraprint profiles in addition to possible novel expression profiles.
|Detailed Description
This will be a prospective observational, case-only study linking MammaPrint, BluePrint, TargetPrint, TheraPrint and possible additional profiles of interest to treatment response and Distant Metastases Free Survival (DMFS) and Relapse Free Survival (RFS). Only patients who receive neo-adjuvant therapy can participate.
For this project, approximately 50-70 institutions in the US will be invited to contribute clinical patient data from enrolled patients after a MammaPrint, TargetPrint, BluePrint and TheraPrint test has been successfully performed and the patient has started neo-adjuvant therapy.
Treatment is at the discretion of the physician, adhering to NCCN approved regimens or a recognized alternative.
The clinical data is to be entered online at 4 time points; amounting to four Case Report Forms (CRFs). Data will be collected on an ongoing basis, the first CRF must be completed within 6 weeks after the MammaPrint, BluePrint, TargetPrint, and TheraPrint result was provided. The second CRF should be completed 4 weeks after definitive surgery. CRF 3 and CRF4 will be completed 2-3 and 5 years after surgery.
It is expected that we will enroll around 1000 patients in 4 years.

Topic: Reduction in CA19.9 and CEA
OK folks, this is what my sister got
After 3 cycles, CEA drop up to 11.7; in six cycles it drops to 9.93
CA19.9 went down to 0.9 in the first round and now its 0.67
I dont know if this is good or nothing but at least the evolution is positive. How do you think she is doing?

MIAMI - Protesters gathered outside the Seminole County criminal courts building Monday to call for the arrest of George Zimmerman.
The 28-year-old neighborhood watchman is at the center of a controversy after police said he shot and killed an unarmed black teen last month.
Trayvon Martin, 17, died steps from his stepmother's home after leaving a convenience store.
Martin, a junior at Michael Krop Senior High School, was visiting his family.
Zimmerman is claiming self-defense, and police said witness accounts and other evidence back up his claim.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, however, still wants to see justice.
"I just don't understand why somebody can just take his life," said Fulton.
911 tapes released last week have raised further questions over the shooting. Experts who have listened to the tape said Zimmerman appears to have slurred some words and may have been under the influence.
"I don't even think he would have been followed if he was a white kid," said Martin's father.
Family and friends are asking the FBI to open an investigation. Meanwhile, the Rev. Al Sharpton is planning a March for Martin on Thursday.

Real Women's Craziest Turn-Ons
One of this year's dining trends puts a new spin on an old standard, meaning you basic dinner date will be anything but boring. Market-style restaurants, where you pick your food at a counter, and then sit down to eat in a restaurant with an upscale vibe, are becoming increasing popular. Standouts include Chicago's Little Goat, Denver's upcoming Source, and Oakland's Duende, where you can stroll among local art and listen to live jazz as you get your grub on.
Camping may not be glamorous, but between sleeping under the stars and unrestricted cuddling time, it's definitely romantic. With a stay at a pop-up hotel, however, you can get the best of both worlds. Some of the most buzzed-about properties have sprouted up in Tulum, Mexico—Design Hotels' Papaya Playa, where luxe, beachfront, thatched-roof cabanas start at $85 per night—and the UK—with the Pop-Up Hotel offering accommodations for specific events, such as the highly-anticipated annual Glastonbury Festival. If you're not planning to head overseas, look out for a stateside version soon. Danish firm Pink Cloud recently announced plans to open pop-up hotels in New York City.

Rio Students Named Finalists in Art Competition
January 23, 2013
Senior Art majors Ashton Saunders and Kia Wright have been named as two of the six finalists for the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio's Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts. Each year, Rio nominates two outstanding seniors to compete with students from up to 49 other colleges and universities in Ohio, including Columbus College of Art and Design, Cleveland Institute of Art, Denison, Kenyon and more.
This year's nominees were required to submit a porfolio of digital images, a short video explaining their work, and an artist statement. Each of the six finalists will display work at the awards ceremony in April, when the grand prize is announced.Their work will now be judged by eleven visual-arts-community leaders from across the state and a leading Ohio legislator, Rep. Cliff Rosenberger, chairman of the House Higher Education Finance Subcommittee, to determine the grand award winner. The Grand Award winner will receive a $2,500 cash prize and have a piece of their art purchased by AICUO and hung in the governor's office for the next year. In addition, each of the six winners will receive an exhibition of their work and this year's custom award sculpture.
Finalists Saunders and Wright are thrilled to be included in the show. "This is a great honor, and I'm very excited-even if I don't win the grand prize, I feel really good to be a finalist." stated Saunders. Associate Professor of Art and Chair of the School of Fine Arts Benjy Davies added "I'm very pleased, but not a bit surprised. Both Kia and Ashton are very mature and thoughtful artists. Their work is top notch."
Todd Jones, the President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio, stated that the judges were very impressed with Saunders' and Wright's work. Not only were these students the first award winners from Rio Grande, but Rio was also the only institution to get both its nominees into the finalists, and eligible for the grande prize.
Saunders and Wright will hold their senior exhibition in the Greer Museum on Rio's campus in April. Both students graduate this May.

I wonder what Bird meant about strengthening our core unit. A "just in case" someone throws stupid money at Lance?
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Why cut Orlando?
I just don't get that, I thought he still had a chance to be productive in the future. The trade should have made Butler expendable; that would have made more sense to me. Orlando was quite possibly our preseason MVP. He looked pretty bad during the regular season this year when he got a chance, but I still hadn't given up hope on him. My guess is that they thought the veteran presence that Butler brings to the locker room was more important than the upside of Orlando.
they can't have 16 players. someone had to go.
And he was a cheap someone.
and then they got Solomon Hill who they liked more as well
An interesting thing I just realized, out of all 10 of our bench players now, Ian is the only one who was here last season...
I know but why him and not Butler? I mean I love what Butler has done for us when he has gotten the chance, but with this trade Butler won't sniff the floor again so why not keep the upside guy? I thought for sure the cut would be Butler or Lavoy when I heard bout the trade, not happy it was Orlando.
Because obviously they have more faith on Solomon Hill in terms of future, and in case of an injury, Butler is the better player, no if's and but's about that. You can't just assume everyone is going to be 100% healthy the rest of the season
I understand keeping Butler - he's been very rock solid for us and have kept the younger guys calm when they were antsy.
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
True but if an injury happens I'd rather Copeland get the shot at the playing time than Butler anyways. So to me after this trade Butler is probably 2 injuries away from playing this year again. Maybe they never intend on playing Cope at the wing though even if an injury happens. If that is the case then yes Butler can be valuable as the back up wing, but I'd rather keep Orlando and go with Cope if an injury happens personally.
so you would want Cope being a back-up wing on the perimeter guarding LeBron?
I honestly don't think OJ has that much upside, plus he's been useless this year
we are in win-now mode. butler is a better player right now.
better to keep a guy who can help you more now than a guy who might help you somewhere down the line.
Obviously in situations like that you would go Solomon Hill. Copeland logged most of his minutes last year for the Knicks at wing so he is not unfamiliar with it, and this would be IF an injury happened not first option. Also I'm fine with Cope playing back up wing against the Heat just have him defend Battier you obviously wouldn't play him same time that LeBron is on the court.
I wonder which two players won't dress. Solomon Hill feels like safe money, but the other? I guess Donald Sloan and play Turner or Lance as the emergency PG if something goes wrong in the game, but that does not leave much backcourt depth. I don't think Mahinmi, Copeland, Scola, Allen, or Bynum deserve to not dress though. That's what I am curious about.
When would OJ even play next season? I think its clear they plan on giving Solomon Hill all the back-up wing minutes next season
Finally finished reading the whole thread. I feel for those of you who really connected with Danny as a part of the team. I will always appreciate how he helped bridge the gap between our last great team and this one. He played hard and backed down from no one. That being said, if this move helps us win it all the feeling of joy and happiness which will permeate this board and the city of Indy will make it worth it.
I unabashedly jumped on the Spurs band wagon during their first championship run and it has been a fun trip. Last season when it looked like we night play them I was asked by several people if it would be hard for me to choose who to root for. I said, "It isn't even close. When the Spurs play the Pacers they are the enemy and I root as hard against them as I do the Heat or anyone else." As hard as i rooted for the Spurs in those game threads last season, i would have rooted against them had it been us. I just want it to happen again and this time have it finally end up with us on top. I can't think of a better way for Slick to enter the hall than as a representative of the NBA champions.
Yea I guess you are right I personally like Solomon's upside a lot more anyways. I just hadn't given up on OJ I thought he could be a good 3rd string wing with potential to be a rotation guy next year. I guess I just always liked his potential since we drafted him and even went as far as watching him play in Fort Wayne. So I am probably sentimentally bias when it comes to him as he was the guy I held hope for to make that draft class not totally pointless which now I guess it officially was since both he and Plumlee are now gone.
It's very interesting.
Just from prior history though, I tend to be of the belief that even if we win it all, he won't pay the tax.
You never know though.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
I am starting to like this LaVoy Allen. Watched some tape of him tonight, he could be a good big.
Allen is a skilled big man.
I really like having him. Another big body to use down low and has some actual skill.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
All I know is I'm VERY curious to see how our bench looks with Turner and Bynum added to the mix.
I actually think if Allen develops right, he could be a starter in this league, he has skill and is young, certainly needs to improve though. I understand i'm higher on him than most though
Wow. I still can't believe this happened. This has to be really tough inside the Pacers locker room. Those guys loved Danny, you could tell that.
Danny looked to me like he lost his passion for basketball. This still hurts though, knowing that we could win it without him.
From a straight up basketball perspective, this is one of the best moves Larry's ever made. It's amazingly one-sided.

Winning the battle for interoperability
In a special-to-the-web article for OPC Connection, OPC specialist Eric Murphy presents his thoughts on what it will take to achieve the mission of true interoperability.
By Eric Murphy, ControlGlobal.com Columnist
END USERS who purchase OPC-compliant products expect 24/7 reliability, full data information integrity and validated, secure interoperability. The product should seamlessly integrate with existing architecture. However, achieving interoperability of some products is more like a running skirmish against hostile opposition -- painful and costly. Getting all sides to comply with the rules and best practices of interoperability can be an uphill battle at times. To combat the problem, the OPC Foundation has created the OPC Enhanced Certification Program.
The clear message from users was they should not need to validate interoperability between vendors. As an industry standard, OPC products should work together seamlessly, securely and reliably. So, when the status quo isn't sufficient and you foresee marauding forces gathering on the rise, what do you do? Form a battle plan, strengthen the defenses, check the armaments and rally the troops. Achieving the mission on true interoperability takes no less effort. Paul Hunkar, Consultant Engineer with ABB, in his role as the OPC Foundation Managing Director of Certification is the one tasked with leading the charge. "The OPC Foundation is committed to providing the support requested by our end-users and vendors to improve the quality of OPC Products." says Hunkar. "The Compliance Committee, composed of end users, vendors and system integrators, has spent significant time and resources improving the processes available to vendors to improve the quality of their products"
The Battle Plan
A good commander will tell you any battle plan relies on good reconnaissance, so existing OPC vendors and end users were surveyed to determine what was working with the existing compliance procedures, and to identify possible chinks in the armor. The key observations included:
- current compliance efforts lacked visibility
- it was not easy to identify OPC product certification levels
- there was a demand for independent testing facilities and improved testing tools
The OPC Foundation currently provides workshops and automated test tools to help facilitate interoperability. Although these efforts are effective to a certain degree, it was deemed additional improvements where needed to ensure the delivery of quality certified products that exceeded the expectations of the end-user community.
Initial Tactics
The OPC Product Certification section of the Foundation website has been re-designed to make it easier to find OPC-certified applications. Each product has a 'Certification Test Status' associated with each specification that it supports. In addition, each product has an overall test status, which is a composite of the individual specification test statuses. Using various product search options, users can easily determine which OPC products have been fully or partially tested, previously tested against older criteria, recently workshopped, or have never been tested at all.
Another useful status is the 'Similar Product Tested' category, which is intended for OPC products that have been built on a common core framework. Since a single framework may represent hundreds of different OPC servers, it would be impractical for vendors to individually certify each OPC server with each new testing tool release or workshop event.
In addition to improving the OPC Foundation website, the Compliance Committee has replaced the existing 'OPC Compliance Tested' logo with two new, revamped logos. The new branding will differentiate between OPC products that have been self-tested by vendors using the OPC Foundation-supplied test tools, and those that have been certified by independent third-party testing facilities. This is another important step towards improving the visibility and identification of certified OPC products.
Quartermaster's Stores
The OPC Foundation has several applications in their testing arsenal. Since OPC products are client-server based, and may support multiple OPC specifications, different testing tools and approaches are needed. For OPC Servers, the OPC Foundation provides a standard software application called the Compliance Test Tool (CTT), which supports the various OPC specifications. Members can download the CTT from the Foundation website and run the tests at their site. The tool generates an encrypted file which is forwarded to OPC Foundation, who then publishes the results on the OPC Product Certification section of the website.
Testing OPC clients is more challenging, since many client applications require only a subset of the full functionality provided by an OPC server. There can also be tremendous variation in how an OPC client may be incorporated into other software applications. The OPC Foundation meets this challenge by offering interoperability testing. This is a process where members attend an annual event and test the OPC client applications against the OPC servers supplied by other members. These events are called interoperability workshops and occur each year in Europe, North America and Japan. The interoperability test process requires that OPC vendors run a series of standard tests for each combination of an OPC client and an OPC server product. The results of these tests are collected and displayed on the OPC Foundation website as part of the overall Certification Test Status.
In spite of the variations of OPC clients available, there is a core set of interfaces and functionality that users have come to expect from all clients to improve interoperability. To ensure these tests are covered by the interoperability workshops, the OPC Foundation has recently developed a standardized OPC client test application called the OPC Analyzer. The tool not only logs all interaction between the OPC client and server, it also has a scripting capability that allows testers to generate error conditions or unexpected behavior in order to test the robustness of the OPC clients. This tool, along with network interrupt testing, allows vendors to determine how their products behave in simulated real world scenarios.

The Brooktrails Board of Directors is expected to reconsider its support for the Highway 101 bypass around Willits at its 7 p.m. Tuesday meeting.
In March the board voted unanimously on a letter supporting the project. Only four members of the public were present at that meeting. The vote occurred the same day an overflow crowd, including many Brooktrails residents, objected to a similar pro-bypass letter proposed by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors.
A large number of Brooktrails residents, most protesting the bypass, crowded into the Brooktrails firehouse April 9, urging the directors to retract the March pro-bypass vote. When Director Ralph Santos tried to introduce a motion to reconsider the earlier vote, no procedure existed to allow it. The board took a series of procedural actions to allow it to come back before the public on Tuesday.
During the procedural discussions, some residents accused Brooktrails board President Tony Orth of having a conflict of interest on any issue related to the bypass. Orth's spouse serves as the deputy director for administration with the Mendocino Council of Governments and is employed by MCOG Director Phil Dow. Dow has been a major supporter and driving force for the bypass for many years.
At the procedural vote setting up Tuesday's new opportunity to weigh in on the pro-bypass letter, Orth appeared to recuse himself from the meeting. Orth says, "I removed myself from the discussion."
During the meeting Orth handed the gavel to Vice President Rick Williams and then sat at his normal chair and appeared to read a book as the bypass discussion swirled around him.
Brooktrails Council Chris Neary says Orth did not recuse himself and could have voted on the procedural issue if necessary. Brooktrails directors are not required to follow Public Code 18702.5 dealing with recusal if a public conflict of interest arises, says Neary. Unlike members of the Willits City Council or the Willits city manager, Brooktrails directors are not required to follow the file "a statement disclosing his or her investments, his or her interests in real property, and any income received during the immediately preceding 12 months."
"We cannot comment on a specific situation; however, under the Political Reform Act, while all public officials are required to recuse themselves from a decision in which they have a financial conflict of interest, disqualification procedures are defined for positions set forth in Government Code Section 87200 only," according to Tara Stock of the FPPC. "So basically it is up to each agency as to whether or not to adopt disqualification procedures for other public officials (non-87200) who are required to recuse themselves."
Brooktrails policy manual Section 2.01.200 does not use the term recusal. It allows a board member to voluntarily disqualify "himself in consideration of the matter" where a conflict is caused by either state law or a "remote economic interest."
It also says the board member "may leave the board table during consideration of the matter and shall not debate or vote."

When I think of scrottie code, these are the characteristics that come to mind:
When I think of Java code, I think it's:
That's why I find it unusual that someone like you would find reasons to like Java. But if you like it, whatever.
I know that you don't actually code in it that much
It's not the least bit out of place to worry about which classes can see which other classes and what kind of interfaces they're presenting for each other.
Yah [canonical.org].
You can hardly invoke the "stay out of my livingroom not because I have a shotgun" argument to justify writing a God Object.
But you don't need mandatory controls if you're writing a God object either. You won't understand the need for them until you try to do good OO design, just like a ten-liner can be written without strictures too. Access controls are just another aspect of the sort of design you are talking about.
It makes me sick to be associated with a language where
What? Where have I been saying that Perl does not need forced encapsulation? First I agreed with you, then I argued twice that Perl does need mandatory controls, and now you tell me I said the opposite. Did you even read what I was saying? Or did you immediately go crosseyed and started looking for a misinterpretation of what you said so you had some grounds to get pissed off again?
I agree that we have a case of someone being a twit here, but it ain't me.
OK. I'm glad we got this sorted.
Since you often complain about people failing to address the actual argument, I opted to moved all the incidental but off-topic quibbles to a second reply so they don't get in the way of my real response.
Anyway, I wanted to nitpick the following statements:
Interfaces are a way of keeping straight
I don't like interfaces in particular. As seen in Java, they fall out of a confusion and conflation of language design goals. Traits/roles are a much superior concept.
But even as far as interfac
My comment was that Perl programmers should spend more time worrying about interfaces and the structure of the code
Which I agreed with. And in the same breath I pointed to one of my posts in another place where I say that Perl programmers chanting "we prefer politeness not shotguns" is misguided, which I think of as being a sign of the same immaturity.
That's great… but it's also completely off topic.
Wow, you found the start of my post (where I said all therein was just
most Perl programmers would do well to spend some time ignoring the language itself and just concentrate on design.
Hmm, I think of Perl programmers as actually focusing more on design than the Java I've seen. For a community that values TMTOWTDI, there sure is a lot of emphasis at times on making sure you do things the One True Best Way, which can be good for design. That's one reason I ask Perl programmers questions involving other languages.
I, too, really like interfaces.

specialties & expertise
Dr. Mladen Rasic has the following 7 areas of expertise, 2 specialties and 3 board certifications.
A pulmonologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the lungs and respiratory tract.
These specialists are similar to critical care specialists in that their patients often require mechanical ventilation to assist their breathing.
Pulmonologists diagnose and treat patients with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, asbestosis, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, COPD, and emphysema. Exposure and inhalation of certain toxic substances may also warrant the services of a pulmonologist.
Some of the tools and tests pulmonologists use to diagnose a patient are a stethoscope in order to listen for abnormal breathing sounds, chest X-rays, CT scans, blood tests, bronchoscopy, and polysomnography.
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

According to Buddhism, Do people have to die in order to change their ideas?
I am confused about this statement made by a Western-Thai monk on Facebook, where he affirms that people with old ideas have to die out:
Do people have to die in order to change their ideas?
Kim OHara wrote:Do people have to die in order to change their ideas?
My current favourite reply to this is to point to one of Australia's most senior retired politicians, a gentleman by the name of Malcolm Fraser.
As a younger man he was a take-no-prisoners Liberal (i.e. Conservative/Republican in UK/US terms)Prime Minister and was utterly loathed by lefties like me and everyone I knew. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Fraser and especially http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Fraser#Retirement
Thirty years ago I couldn't imagine that I would ever say anything nice about him.
Decades have passed. Aussie politics has drifted to the Right, Fraser has moved much faster in the opposite direction. He is now a liberal in its real sense and has gone so far as to say on prime-time TV that voting for the Greens was a pretty good idea - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-06/fraser-throws-support-behind-greens-hanson-young/4803722

A new, outdoor art installation — projected onto the face of the Wilma Theater — is adding more color to the bright lights along Broad Street in Philadelphia.
The display is a collaboration between New Mexico digital artist Andrea Polli and Philadelphia's own smoggy air. Most of the time, the "Particle Falls" exhibit will show a flickering blue and white waterfall.
"But if there is a lot of particulate pollution, you start to see orange and red dots flickering over the waterfall, and if there's really a lot of particulate pollution the waterfall almost transforms to a fireball," said Polli, who teaches at the Social Media Work Group at the University of New Mexico.
Polli consults with scientists to find visual — and immediate — ways to convey the complexity of issues such climate change. Her Philadelphia exhibited is powered by a nearby air-quality monitor, called a nephelometer
"Sometimes people call it the sniff-o-lometer," she said. Polli said she used some of the tools used by true scientists, but maintains her exhibit is art, not science.
"Perhaps you could say it's a citizen science experiment," she said.
The monitor takes a new reading every 15 seconds.
"It's really, almost a real time response. So if, for example, you are walking down the street and you happen to light up a cigarette near the nephelmeter you'll probably see a pretty strong reaction.
A idling truck spewing fumes, or a plane flying overhead, could also set off the color display.
"One of the things in the development of the piece that was kind of a challenge was to figure out how to create something that's interesting, but without encouraging people to create more particulate pollution," Polli said.
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (a WHYY underwriter) is sponsoring the exhibit and a panel discussion tonight about the interesection of art and science.
"I think that scientists and engineers sometimes have a hard time conveying complexity. There's a lot of times a large understanding gap," said Youngmoo Kim, director of the Expressive and Creative Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) Center at Drexel University
He's joining Polli during the panel discussion on "Particle Falls."
"It's not a static sort of exhibit, it changes based on the environment and the time of day," Kim said. "As it gets more active people will realize there's more, so called particulate matter — little particles in the air that people are actually breathing in."

WORKERS helped to pull in the pounds for charity at a Basingstoke store.
Members of staff from do-it-yourself store Wickes, in Churchill Way West, took to the saddle for three days from last Friday as they joined in a nationwide fundraising weekend.
Across the UK, staff from Wickes cycled 24,859 miles – the distance of travelling around the world – to pull in the pounds for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
And members of staff from the Basingstoke team managed to complete their 135 miles by taking it in turns to do 20 miles stints on the bike, raising £562.
Martin Irish, deputy manager at the store, told The Gazette: "We are all really pleased to be supporting Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, and we are proud of all the work the company has achieved over the last eight years in raising £4m.
"We would also like to say thank-you to all of our customers who have supported us with their donations."

When it comes to retail, restaurant, and grocery IT, no system is as crucial as the point of sale. While margins have eroded over the years, and there's been outside pressure from tablets and similar mobile technologies, the time-tested POS continues to stand as the primary customer payment and interaction device. With that importance in mind, Business Solutions teamed with Greg Nelson, VP and CTO of Genesis POS, to test 10 all-in-one units from a variety of leading manufacturers. The goal: to arm you with the information you need to either confirm your existing product line or shorten your time of evaluating new products.
Here is a brief sample from the review:
As far the Stingray was concerned, the unit came in as one of the fastest among those tested, finishing the speed test in 99 seconds. CPU utilization reached 48% during the test.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - People living in one Coral Gables neighborhood believe they are being targeted for their campaign signs.
"We have a right to free speech, free expression of our political views," said Armando Gutierrez.
Residents said there were plenty of signs on Old Cutler Road on Monday. But on Tuesday, many of them were gone.
"I noticed all the signs were either gone or set back," said Ann Podrasky.
People living in the neighborhood said code enforcement swept through the area, posted notices and warnings on many of the signs, and moved the signs to people's front doors.
"A code compliance officer from the City of Coral Gables was going around and removing all the political signs from the front yard," said one woman who asked not to be identified.
A city ordinance says a sign must be five feet within the property line and homeowners can only post one per candidate.
"The public right of way is close to the roadway, and typically, it's done for safety reasons," said Coral Gables City Commissioner Ralph Cabrera .
But long-time residents of the neighborhood said they couldn't remember code enforcement being strict about the law -- especially for temporary signs.
"We have all kinds of real estate signs here all the time and no one has interfered," said Armando Gutierrez.
"They've never done this before. We've lived in the Gables for over 15 years," said one woman.
In other parts of Coral Gables, political signs near the roadway were without notices or warnings. Residents have a theory.
"I believe it had to hit someone's nerve because this neighborhood was completely filled with Romney signs," said one woman.

Broadway Legend Donna McKechnie Comes to Centenary Stage, 3/16
Audiences will not want to miss this one-woman theatre extravaganza from legendary Broadway star, Donna McKechnie. Centenary Stage Company is proud to welcome this true triple threat performer to present her one woman cabaret show, My Musical Comedy Life on Saturday March 16th at 8 p.m.
It is an autobiographical musical celebration of song, dance, and storytelling, with music by some of Broadway's most celebrated composers, including Stephen Sondheim, Marvin Hamlisch, Cy Coleman, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, as well as more contemporary composers, like Ann Hampton Callaway. The Tony Award-winning star of A Chorus Line is regarded internationally as one of Broadway's foremost dancing and singing leading ladies. McKechnie has performed extensively on the concert stage, in cabaret, with symphony orchestras, and now brings her talents to the Centenary Stage.
Her cabaret show, My Musical Comedy Life, which received unanimous raves from New York theater critics, won a Mac Award Nomination for Best Female Singer and the Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Major Engagement. McKechnie talks and sings about her life and career which began when Bob Fosse put her in the chorus of the 1960 production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In between were several legendary collaborations with Michael Bennett which included the 1976 classic A Chorus Line, in which she drew on her own experience to play an aging dancer desperate for a comeback. In this autobiographical one-woman show, the red-haired, apple-cheeked McKechnie interweaves memories of her career with selections from a vast repertoire including "The Music and the Mirror," her signature routine from A Chorus Line. There's also a tribute to the Hollywood musicals that inspired her as a girl and an account of the night she met, and danced with, her idol, Fred Astaire.
Donna McKechnie tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. The performance is Saturday, March 16th at 8 p.m. in the Sitnik Theater at the Lackland Center at 715 Grand Avenue.
The Centenary Stage Company is a not-for-profit professional equity theatre, in residence at Centenary College, dedicated to serving as a cultural resource for audiences of the Skylands Region with professional music, theatre and dance events and arts education programs throughout the year.
