VENUS IN FUR, PULLMAN PORTER BLUES and More Set for Goodman Theatre's 2013/2014 Dream Season
It's a DREAM season at Goodman Theatre: four works authored and five directed by women, three world premieres (two direct from the New Stages new play development series), two Goodman commissions and a major large- scale musical event comprise Goodman Theatre's 2013/2014 eight-play line-up. The new season begins in the Albert Theatre in September with Chuck Smith's production of Cheryl L. West's Pullman Porter Blues-a Chicago premiere featuring original and classic blues music. Next is the world premiere of Luna Gale by Rebecca Gilman, directed by Robert Falls; Joanie Schultz directs the Chicago premiere of David Ives' Broadway smash Venus in Fur; and Mary Zimmerman directs her latest work, The White Snake, based on the classic Chinese fable. Finally, Rachel Rockwell directs a major revival of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1947 musical Brigadoon, with permission from the Lerner and Loewe estates to revise the book. The Owen Theatre season begins in October with Smokefall by Noah Haidle, a Goodman commission directed by Anne Kauffman in a world-premiere co-production with South Coast Repertory, followed by Tracey Scott Wilson's Buzzer, directed by Jessica Thebus, and concludes with Ask Aunt Susan, Seth Bockley's Goodman commission, directed by Henry Wishcamper. Tickets for the 2013/2014 DREAM Season are available now by subscription and to groups only; visit GoodmanTheatre.org or call the box office (312.443.3800; 12noon - 5pm daily). Five-play Albert Theatre subscriptions start at $115; three-play Owen Theatre subscriptions start at $69. Group reservations for 10+ for Pullman Porter Blues and 15+ for Brigadoon may be made by calling 312.443.3820 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Individual tickets go on sale beginning in August.
In addition to the eight plays offered on subscription, the Goodman presents its 36th annual production of A Christmas Carol, newly directed this year by Wishcamper. Also, the annual New Stages series will include at least two workshop productions plus three staged readings of plays in development by Latino writers-December 7-22 in the Owen Theatre.
"I am proud to announce this season of extraordinary cultural and aesthetic diversity, of daring firsts, enchanting fables and a major new production of a towering musical," said Artistic Director Robert Falls.
"We kick off the season toasting Resident Director Chuck Smith's 20th anniversary at the Goodman: he will direct Pullman Porter Blues, Cheryl L. West's new Blues-soaked celebration of the triumph of personal pride over societal prejudice, set on the 1937 Pullman Panama Limited run from Chicago to New Orleans. In January, I'm thrilled to again team up with Artistic Associate Rebecca Gilman on Luna Gale, her gripping world-premiere drama that probes the darker side of human relationships as with her previous works Spinning Into Butter and Boy Gets Girl. In March, director Joanie Schultz makes her mainstage debut with David Ives' sexy, provocative and hilarious hit Venus in Fur, called '90 minutes of good, kinky fun' by The New York Times. In May, Manilow Resident Director Mary Zimmerman directs her 'strikingly beautiful' (NPR) newest work, The White Snake, which comes to us following successful runs at Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Berkeley Rep. A moving study of love, adventure and enchantment with a rich musical underscoring, The White Snake is told with Mary's signature imaginative beauty. The Albert Theatre season culminates with the first major revival of Brigadoon, Lerner and Loewe's unforgettable musical adventure, in 20 years. We're thrilled to work for the first time with director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell, a rising star hailed as an artist of 'astounding and vary rare talents' by the Chicago Tribune."
Continued Falls, "Three enormously gifted writers take the stage in the Owen. Starting in October, we welcome back Noah Haidle with his newest play, Smokefall, and welcome Anne Kauffman to direct this fascinating new work about three generations of an eccentric Midwestern family. Tracey Scott Wilson's new drama Buzzer-a multi-faceted look at race and class in the twenty-first century, directed by Jessica Thebus-takes the stage in February. The three-play Owen season concludes in May with Ask Aunt Susan, Playwright in Residence Seth Bockley's irreverent new work about online anonymity and authenticity, directed by our newest Artistic Associate Henry Wishcamper."
Pullman Porter Blues IN THE ALBERT THEATRE
By Cheryl L. West Directed by Chuck Smith Chicago Premiere | September 14 - October 20, 2013
With original and classic Blues favorites-including "Sweet Home Chicago"-performed by a live on-stage band, Pullman Porter Blues is a rollicking ride back in time into the luxurious Pullman Trains, where the hidden lives of African American porters emerge to take center stage. It's June of 1937, and the Panama Limited Pullman Train is speeding from Chicago to New Orleans on the night of the Joe Louis/James Braddock world heavyweight championship. Three generations of Sykes men-African American train porters-wrestle with ghosts of the past and dreams for the future as they eagerly await word of the Brown Bomber's victory.
36th Annual Production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol Adapted by Tom Creamer, Directed by Henry Wishcamper November 16 - December 29, 2013
For 36 years, A Christmas Carol at Goodman Theatre has been "the crown jewel of the holiday season" (Daily Herald). Based on Charles Dickens' classic 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol is the unforgettable tale of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy business man with no family and a disdain for holiday cheer and the poor in Victorian London. One Christmas, Scrooge is visited by four ghosts who take him on an incredible journey that offers a new perspective on everything from his dusty past to his dark future-and gives him an opportunity to sympathize with his fellow man and rediscover life and love.
Luna Gale
By Rebecca Gilman Directed by Robert Falls World Premiere | January 18 - February 23, 2014
Caroline, a veteran social worker, thinks she has a typical case on her hands when she meets Peter and Karlie, two teenaged drug addicts accused of neglecting their baby. But when she places their infant daughter in the care of Karlie's mother, Caroline sparks a family conflict that exposes a shadowy past-and forces her to make a decision with potentially disastrous consequences. Luna Gale is an unflinching examination of the reverberating effects of denial and betrayal.
Venus in Fur
By David Ives Directed by Joanie Schultz Chicago Premiere | March 8 - April 13, 2014
When Vanda arrives several hours late to her audition for a play based on a nineteenth-century erotic novel, the director, Thomas, is less-than-impressed. But Vanda's masterful performance flips the script on Thomas' expectations and turns the session into a tango for dominance between actress and director, woman and man. Hailed as "seriously smart and very funny" by The New York Times, Venus in Fur is a laugh-out-loud study of the politics of sex and power.
The White Snake
Written and Directed by Mary Zimmerman, Based on the Classic Chinese Fable Chicago Premiere | May 3 - June 8, 2014
The White Snake chronicles the tale of a gentle serpent spirit who lives for centuries coiled on a mountaintop. One day, she transforms herself into a beautiful young woman and, with her feisty companion, Green Snake, travels down to the world of humans. There, she unexpectedly finds love, happiness and family, and vows to remain a human forever. But when a vengeful monk discovers her true identity, he becomes determined to destroy the life that she's built-and break apart her marriage to her one true love.
Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, Music by Frederick Loewe Directed and Choreographed by Rachel Rockwell June 27 - August 3, 2014
When American tourists Tommy and Jeff get lost on vacation in Scotland they stumble into Brigadoon, a mythical village that appears for only one day every 100 years. No outsider can stay in Brigadoon unless they fall in love, and no resident can ever leave or the village will vanish forever. But when Tommy falls for a village girl, he is forced to choose between returning to the world that he knows-or taking a chance on life and love in the mysterious Brigadoon. Big, beautiful and beguiling, Brigadoon is a "ravishing" (The New Yorker) musical delight.
By Noah Haidle Directed by Anne Kauffman A World Premiere Goodman Commission and Co-Production with South Coast Repertory | October 5 - November 3, 2013
Change is in the air as Violet prepares to bring twin sons into the world. Inside her womb the boys contemplate their future, while her outer world is in transformation: her husband is secretly planning to leave her; her father is slipping into senility; and her daughter has taken a vow of silence. Smokefall follows the lives of this family in an expansive poetic treatise on the fragility of life and the power of love.
New Stages Series December 7 - 22, 2013 (See all offerings in the series over the December 13-15 weekend)
New Stages 2013 will feature at least two workshop productions and three staged readings with a strong emphasis on the work of Latino playwrights. Since 2004, New Stages has given Chicago the first look at nearly 60 new plays (including Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize-winning Ruined). Over the past three decades, Goodman Theatre has produced more than 100 premieres-approximately one third of which are authored by playwrights of color. Director of New Play Development Tanya Palmer oversees the Goodman's efforts to develop new American plays with contemporary theater artists, including New Stages, the Playwrights Unit (annual residency program) and the theater's new works commissioning program.
By Tracey Scott Wilson Directed by Jessica Thebus A Chicago Premiere | February 8 - March 9, 2014
Jackson is a young, successful African American attorney determined to build a life in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of his youth. When he returns "home" with his girlfriend and troubled best friend-both white-in tow, the trio are soon forced to confront the simmering racial and sexual tensions that exist both inside and outside their apartment. This dexterous and dark comedy from playwright Tracey Scott Wilson (The Good Negro) fearlessly tackles fear and suspicion in a quickly changing world.
Ask Aunt Susan
By Seth Bockley Directed by Henry Wishcamper A World Premiere Goodman Commission | May 24 - June 22, 2014
Aunt Susan is a twenty-something man who moonlights as an online advice guru. When "Ask Aunt Susan" becomes the web's hottest spot for self-help, Aunt Susan's boss, a reckless funder, rakes in the profits from women's everyday woes. But as her online reputation mushrooms, so does Aunt Susan's web of deceit-and soon the phenomenon is much bigger than Aunt Susan could have ever imagined.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of selling legal highs to youths after his shop was raided in Scarborough.
Police arrested the 39-year-old at The Culture Counter, on Scarborough Road, this morning at 7.50am when a team of six officers entered the store.
He is currently being quizzed by police in custody.
Following the arrest, a spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: "Selling 'legal highs' to underage people is a criminal offence and despite them being branded as 'legal' they are still potentially very harmful.
"Many legal highs contain similar chemical substances to illegal drugs and due to the limited research into them, what they exactly contain is unknown.
"What is also unknown is the impact 'legal highs' can have on you and your friends.
"Many 'legal highs' such as Clockwork Orange, Bliss and Mary Jane have been linked to poisoning, mental health problems and even death."

We all plant our Lowrider roots in a different garden, and for New York firefighter Terrance Keeby, his seeds were sown in the mini-truck scene. "I got bored with that scene and I ended up getting the urge to build a classic car, so the hunt for an Impala started," Terrance explains. Having an uncle in California gave Terrance the opportunity to spend many summers there, giving him a glimpse of rare autos that were seldom seen in New York. "I used to see them all the time in California, but I just didn't know where or how to get one in New York."
In 2010, Terrance ended up buying a '63 convertible but after attending the Lowrider Magazine Super Show in Vegas and seeing Mister Cartoon's '61, he decided that he wanted a '61 instead. Luckily, it didn't take long for him to find and purchase a '61 bubble top. Indecision again took its toll on Terrance, as he suddenly found himself reluctant to get started. "I took it to David's Impalas to have it built but once I had it there, I hesitated on having him start the build since what I really wanted was '61 rag," Terrance says with a smile. David just so happened to own a '61 convertible, and after being persuaded by a persistent Terrance, David ended up selling it to him. Once the deal was made, the build started as David took on the majority of the build including the sheet metal work, bodywork, paint, and assembly of the car.
While it seems that Terrance was picky about his choice in car and build, he had good reason to be; there were high standards that he felt he had to live up to. "I've known Marvin and Bean (Drastic members) since I was fifteen years old," he says. "I never built a Lowrider, so I was never part of the club, but I was close with them. I knew once I built a Lowrider, that it had to be right because I was going to be a member of Drastic." Beyond his car club aspirations, Terrance wanted his build to represent the East Coast as well. "I'm a New York City Firefighter and I wanted to put a piece of me into the car and that's why I have the 9/11 tribute," he explains sincerely. "I set out to build something that people who originated the game would like; I didn't want people to look at it and say 'that's a nice car for a New York car.' I wanted people from anywhere to be able to appreciate it." Terrance has certainly lived up to the standards he set for himself. "Rotten Apple" is the first New York car to ever be featured on the cover of Lowrider Magazine and to take a trophy at the Lowrider Magazine Super Show in Las Vegas!
"I want to thank Marvin and my whole Drastic auto club for their support," says Terrance. "A special thanks also goes out to my wife for allowing this project to take over our lives for eight months, and to David for building me a bad ass car."

DUDLEY Council looks set to freeze council tax rates for another year.
Borough bosses say they "do not want to hit the hard working people of Dudley any more during these difficult financial times" so they are proposing to freeze council tax levels once more.
Councillor Pete Lowe, Dudley's deputy leader and cabinet member for finance, said: "This will ensure Dudley borough residents are paying some of the lowest council tax levels in the country and the lowest in the Black Country."
The proposal will go before the council's cabinet on Wednesday February 12 as part of wider budget plans which aim to save the authority around £60million over the next three years.
Cllr Lowe added: "Due to the significant cuts in government funding that have been imposed on us we are having to make extremely difficult decisions in relation to making millions of pounds worth of savings."
But he said the council hopes to spare residents from further financial pain by freezing its element of the council tax with the help of a £1.1m grant from the government.
Dudley residents currently pay the lowest Council Tax in the Black Country, the second lowest in the West Midlands and £14 per month less than the national average.
Once the council tax freeze proposal has been voted on by the cabinet it will go before the full council on March 3 for the final decision.

Harvest news reportedly depressed corn futures Tuesday. Although corn futures benefited from strength spilling over from the soybean and wheat pits early this morning, prices turned decidedly lower a bit later. Talk that the corn harvest is accelerating and yields are topping expectations reportedly sent prices lower in late-morning action. December corn futures fell 8.25 cents to $4.41/bushel around midsession Tuesday, while May dropped 7.75 cents to $4.62.
Soybeans also fell despite supportive developments this morning. Wire service reports indicated that country soybean values were steady-firm Tuesday morning. In addition, the soyoil market got a significant boost from rising Asian palm oil quotes. Nevertheless, soybeans and meal lost significant ground, thereby seeming to reflect harvest pressure as well. November soybeans dove 11.5 cents to $12.85/bushel in late Tuesday morning action, while December soyoil bounced 0.34 cents to 40.24 cents/pound, and December soymeal tumbled $6.5 to $414.2/ton.
Wheat futures turned mixed late Tuesday morning. The KC and Minneapolis markets continued their recent advance, but Chicago prices were slightly lower. The same supply and demand issues powering the late rally are still in place, so we are almost forced to think that the failure of a large soft wheat tender from Morocco undercut the CBOT market for some reason. December CBOT wheat sagged 1.5 cents to $6.9325 bushel just before lunchtime Tuesday, while December KCBT wheat gained 4.0 cents to $7.605, and December MGE futures added 2.75 cents to $7.53.
Cash optimism seemed to boost cattle futures Tuesday morning. Few delivery were posted again expiring October cattle futures Monday evening (first notice day), which encouraged CME traders. That is, the sizeable October premium appeared quite attractive to producers, so the lack of deliveries suggests they're quite optimistic about the likely outcome of this week's cash trading. December cattle futures edged up 0.05 cents to 132.32 in late-morning action, but April skidded 0.15 cents to 135.00. Meanwhile, November feeder cattle jumped 0.77 cents to 166.25 cents/pound, and January surged 0.65 to 166.43.
Hog traders appear ambivalent about market direction today. News of a salmonella outbreak in California chicken may be supporting hog futures this morning, since consumers may switch to pork in response to that news. However, the generally uncertain environment, especially when the lack of USDA data is considered may be limited traders' willingness to take on risk at this point. December hog futures moved 0.02 cents higher to 87.90 cents/pound by late Tuesday morning, while April declined 0.12 cents to 90.42.

6 Big Girl in a Skinny World Style Myths
They may have moonwalked on MTV, but these old-school flats were a wardrobe staple long before the King of Pop trademarked his black-and-white pair. Originally worn by Norwegian cattle farmers in the 1930s, moccasin-style shoes moved West with designer flourishes in the 1950s and '60s: G.H. Bass' penny slot and Gucci's horse bit pushed the style further from its simple origins. Today's pairs come slimmed down and buffed to a high-wattage shine, and can be spotted on casual-cool undergrads and street-style stars. Top with skinny suit and just beat it.

I help with Melbourne Perl Mongers.
I spend an awful lot of time talking about Perl, and have had my picture in the Australian newspapers with a camel. That's rather scary.
Talk like a Pirate Day
This Saturday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, as well as Software Freedom Day. This year I sided with the pirates, donned a particularly swashbuckling outfit, and joined about 150 other pirates to march through Melbourne, fight off ninjas, and singing the only sea-shanty known by every member of our scurvy crew.
Afterwards, there was the world's best pirate cake, crafted by jarich.
I have some pictures of the day and the party, including the Jolly Tux. For those people on Facebook, there's a lot of photos on-line.

A business case for £256m of river defences will be developed by seven councils whose residents and businesses were affected by flooding earlier this year.
Elmbridge Council has teamed up with six other authorities to push the Government for the flood defence scheme for the lower River Thames after areas across the borough, including Cobham, Thames Ditton and Hurst Park, suffered from flooding in February.
The business case will be put together by local authorities in some of the areas worst hit by the winter flooding, including Kingston, Richmond and Windsor and Maidenhead.
Neighbouring boroughs Spelthorne and Runnymede and Surrey County Council will also be involved with the case, which was agreed at a meeting on Friday, June 13.
The scheme would protect riverside homes and businesses by building a flood channel and make improvements to three weirs.
David Hodge, leader of Surrey County Council, said: "I called this meeting because we all want to protect our residents and local economy from flooding, so we hope that working together will get us Government approval for this crucial scheme."
Earlier this year, Prime Minister David Cameron said the flood alleviation scheme was expensive, but it was being looked at "very carefully."
Speaking to BBC Surrey in April, Mr Cameron said: "It's an expensive scheme but what I've done is I've put distinct ministers in charge of co-ordinating the response in different parts of the country.
"Philip Hammond who is a local MP is responsible for this area of the country [and is] talking to all the local organisations and local councils and trying then to put together for the government the best recommendation of the things that we need to fund for the future."
Mr Hammond, MP for Runnymede and Weybridge said he was "absolutely clear" that the scheme should be progressed "as rapidly as possible" because the lower Thames has the largest amount of properties at risk from river flooding in the UK.
He said: "I have called publicly for the Environment Agency and local authorities to work together with renewed urgency to secure the necessary financing and approvals so that this vital flood protection scheme can be completed as quickly as is technically possible.
"I do believe that the contribution of central Government towards the scheme will need to be increased. However, the principle of co-funding is firmly established and I believe it is important that local commitment to the scheme is demonstrated.
"I hope that it will be possible to establish an agreed funding strategy with an increased central Government contribution in the near future so that those affected by flooding in the area can plan for the future around the scheme being built within a defined timescale."
The team of councils will hand the business case to the Government later this year.

SAN FRANCISCO—Tim Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner and the San Francisco Giants' ace during their 2010 World Series run, might not throw a pitch as a starter in the 2012 National League Division Series.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Sunday that Ryan Vogelsong will start Game 3 against the Reds in Cincinnati. Bochy bypassed Lincecum, who could be skipped if the Giants use ace Matt Cain on short rest for Game 4.
Bochy could have also gone to Barry Zito for Game 3, but Vogelsong's rebound at the end of September earned him the start.
Vogelsong had been one of the best pitchers in the league through July, with a 2.22 ERA. That dominance suddenly ended; Vogelsong posted a 7.95 ERA in his next nine starts and the Giants considered skipping him in the rotation to get him back on track. That never happened, though, and as speculation about the Giants leaving him off the postseason rotation became loud, Vogelsong went 2-0 with an 0.53 ERA (one earned run in 17 innings) over his final three regular-season starts.
"He had a little hiccup there for three or four starts, but he's gotten back on track the last few starts," Bochy said Sunday before Game 2. "It's the right thing to do. He's earned this."
Bochy made the correct call. Zito is unreliable and has a good chance of getting battered in the hitter's paradise that is Great American Ball Park. He was a candidate because the Giants have won each of his past 11 starts.
As for Lincecum, he was awful during the first half of the season before righting himself somewhat in the second half. In his last two starts, however, he allowed 12 runs (11 earned) in 10 innings, with six walks. He came on as a reliever in the sixth inning Sunday.
Bochy admitted that telling Lincecum he wouldn't start was difficult. "Sure it is," Bochy said. "It's not easy to tell a pitcher who's accomplished what he has. We know what he's done for us, but you have to look at what's happening today, this year. Timmy understands that.
"These things aren't easy. It reminds me of 2010 when we had to leave (Zito) off the playoff roster."

So pretty frequently it seems the groin muscle on my plant leg is pretty darn sore after playing. It's not noticeably sore during the round and I can't remember specifically injuring it at any point either.
I'm basically going to equate this to poor form on my part, so without the means to properly record myself can anyone out there possibly give me an idea or two that can fix my technique and alleviate the pain?
I'll work on seeing if I can get some video uploaded.

The coal industry's product is not coal. It is energy. And the power-generating industry has become the chemical processing plant for the coal industry. Each year, utilities are forced to install more equipment to sort out the waste that comes with coal.
In the face of these challenges, the coal industry sends more, not less, waste along with its energy. The winners will be the coal companies that find ways to ship more energy and less waste to their best customers, the electric utilities.
Nothing is more telling than the reports published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) that suggest that utilities are buying lower-quality coals. Year over year, the quality seems to deteriorate.
As my last article argued, growing volumes of waste products are causing utilities to incur higher production costs and increased regulatory oversight. That combination is making coal-fired power plants uncompetitive in the new power markets.
The power markets will force a change. The trend of using progressively lower-quality coals is unsustainable. The growing costs of managing wastes and declining prices for wholesale power will cause a new equilibrium to be established. This new equilibrium will likely reject low-ranked coal and reward high-quality fuels.
Without states approvng rate cases to benefit their local mining operations, the utility industry is putting the brakes on the coal industry. Faced with growing coal processing costs, utilities will either retire power plants that depend on low-Btu coal, modify plants to deal with growing waste issues or modify plants to use higher-quality fuels. For the present, it appears that utilities are considering all three. In the future, retirements will evaporate, and only the best in breed will survive.
As utility customers cull out struggling power plants, the coal industry will be forced to do the same. The winners will be the low-cost producers. But in the energy industry, the low-cost producers must also consider the total costs of the entire value chain. For coal-to-electric industry, the value chain begins with the mine mouth and ends with the utility's meter.
The winners will likely be the coal companies that provide the highest value for the least cost to electric utilities. That suggests that winners must have access to coals that have high-energy content, low-waste content, low mining costs and low transportation costs.
Coal companies that have assets in Northern Appalachian Coal Basin seem to fit the bill. This area includes western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, West Virginia, eastern Ohio and northeast Kentucky, and it is near the nation's major power markets. While significant amounts of the low-hanging fruit have already been harvested, some coal companies that operate in this region are doing well. In all likelihood, they will continue to do well.
An example is Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP). According to its profile, Alliance is the nation's first publicly traded master limited partnership involved in the production and marketing of coal. It began mining operations in 1971 and since then has grown through acquisitions and internal development to become the third-largest coal producer in the eastern U.S.. Alliance has a market cap over $2 billion, a price-to-earnings ratio over 10 and a dividend of over 6.5%. Year-over-year revenue and net income are growing. Cash flows and balance sheets are strong, and investments are growing.
Rhino Resource Partners (RNO) is another master limited partnership operating in the same region and serving the same customers. In addition to its coal interests, Rhino invested in oil and gas mineral rights in the Utica Shale and Cana Woodford regions, which began to generate royalty revenue in early 2012. Rhino has a market cap over $400 million, a P/E over 17 and a dividend over 11.5%. Year-over-year revenue and net income are recovering. Cash flows and balance sheets are strong, and investments are growing.
In contrast, Natural Resource Partners (NRP) also has a substantial footprint in the same region. But it owns low-ranked coal resources (lignite) in the Gulf States. Natural Resource Partners has a market cap over $2.2 billion, a P/E over 17 and a dividend over 10.4%. Year-over-year revenue is growing. On an annual basis, National Resource's net income vacillates. Its cash flows are strong, but its balance sheets also vacillate. The vacillations suggest a moderate level of risk for coal investors.
In the U.S., coal is not going away anytime soon. Nevertheless, in 2012, coal as a percentage of the overall power production mix fell below 40% for the first time. Last year, coal fell below 35% for three months. There was not a single month in 2012 when coal exceeded 39%. Yet Alliance and Rhino did well.
Focused cost leaders will survive, and they will prosper.

What Is Osteonecrosis?
Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public
Osteonecrosis is a disease caused by reduced blood flow to bones in the joints. With too little blood, the bone starts to die and may break down.
Osteonecrosis is also known as:
- Avascular necrosis
- Aseptic necrosis
- Ischemic necrosis.
Osteonecrosis is most often found in the hips, knees, shoulders, and ankles. You may have osteonecrosis in one or more bones.
In people with healthy bones, new bone is always replacing old bone. This process keeps bones strong and also happens when children grow or if a bone is injured. In osteonecrosis, bone breaks down faster than the body can make enough strong, new bone. If you do not get treatment, the disease worsens and the bones in the joints break down. You may not be able to bend or move the affected joint very well, and you may have pain in the joint.
- Who Gets Osteonecrosis?
- What Causes Osteonecrosis?
- What Are the Symptoms of Osteonecrosis?
- How Is Osteonecrosis Diagnosed?
- How is Osteonecrosis Treated?
- What Research Is Being Done to Help People With Osteonecrosis?
Who Gets Osteonecrosis?
Osteonecrosis can occur in people of any age, but it is most common in people in their thirties, forties, and fifties.
What Causes Osteonecrosis?
Osteonecrosis is caused when the blood flow to the bone decreases, but why this happens is not always clear. Some known causes of osteonecrosis are:
- Steroid medications
- Alcohol use
- Injury
- Increased pressure inside the bone.
Risk factors for osteonecrosis are:
- Radiation treatment
- Chemotherapy
- Kidney and other organ transplants.
Osteonecrosis is more common in people with illnesses such as:
- Cancer
- Lupus
- Gaucher's disease
- Caisson disease
- Gout
- Vasculitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Blood disorders such as sickle cell disease.
Osteonecrosis can also affect people for no known reason, even if they have no other health problems.
What Are the Symptoms of Osteonecrosis?
When osteonecrosis first begins, you may not have any symptoms. You may start to feel pain when you put weight on a joint with osteonecrosis. As the disease gets worse, you may have more pain and the joint may hurt even when you rest. Pain may be mild or severe.
If the bone and joint start to break down, you may have severe pain and not be able to use the joint. For instance, if you have osteonecrosis in the hip, you may not be able to walk. The time from the start of symptoms to losing use of the joint can range from months to more than a year.
How Is Osteonecrosis Diagnosed?
To diagnose osteonecrosis, your doctor will take your medical history and do a physical exam. Your doctor may then order one or more tests to see which bones are affected:
- X ray
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Bone scan
- Bone biopsy
- Measure of the pressure inside the bone.
Treatment helps more if the disease is diagnosed early.
How is Osteonecrosis Treated?
Treatment helps to keep bone in joints from breaking down. Without treatment, most people with the disease will have severe pain and limited movement within 2 years. To decide on the best treatment, your doctor will find out:
- Your age
- The stage of the disease
- Where and how much bone has osteonecrosis
- The cause, if known. If the cause is steroid or alcohol use, treatment may not work unless you stop using those substances.
The goals in treating osteonecrosis are:
- To improve use of the joint
- To stop further damage
- To protect bones and joints.
For early stage disease, doctors may first order nonsurgical treatments. If they do not help, surgery may be needed.
Nonsurgical treatments
Nonsurgical treatments may relieve pain in the short term, but they do not cure the disease. One or more of these treatments may be used at the same time.
- Medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to reduce pain and swelling. For people with blood clotting problems, blood thinners may be used to prevent clots that block the blood supply to the bone. If you take steroid medications, cholesterol-lowering drugs may be used to reduce fat in the blood.
- Taking weight off the joint. Your doctor may suggest that you limit your activity or use crutches to take weight off the affected joint. This may slow bone damage and allow some healing. If combined with NSAIDs, it may help you avoid or delay surgery.
- Range-of-motion exercises. Exercise of the joints with osteonecrosis may help increase their range of motion.
- Electrical stimulation. Research has shown that this can prompt bone growth.
In time, most people with osteonecrosis need surgery. There are four main types of surgery used for osteonecrosis. Your doctor will decide if you need surgery and what type is best for you.
- Core decompression surgery. Lowers pressure inside the bone to increase blood flow to the bone.
- Osteotomy. Reshapes the bone to reduce stress on the damaged joint.
- Bone graft. Takes healthy bone from one part of the body and uses it to replace diseased bone.
- Total joint replacement. Replaces the joint with a manmade one.
What Research Is Being Done to Help People With Osteonecrosis?
Some goals of research are to learn more about:
- How many people have osteonecrosis
- Risk factors for osteonecrosis
- Why steroids cause osteonecrosis
- The role of genes
- How to diagnose the disease early
- Better treatments for osteonecrosis
- Ways to improve hip replacement
- How mechanical factors—such as the alignment of hips, knees, and ankles—affect treatment success.

I think it's James Dolan logic. Who offered anything close to Wiggins so far? That's the key question.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I look at recent Love rumors (Warriors, Boston), they don't include anything as valuable as Wiggins. I look at Carmelo, Dwight, DWill, CP3 trades. They didn't include anyone as valuable as Wiggins.
You are basically saying, Love>Wiggins, and I agree. But nothing so far suggests that they can't get Love for less.
You say the Wolves are idiots if they don't get Wiggins for Love. But a few years ago you could have as successfully claimed that the Magic or the Hornets would be idiots if they don't get some massive asset for Dwight and CP3. Calling them idiots means nothing, if the market doesn't dictate it. The Wolves can't just refuse the best deal available, pack their bags and go home saying "we got nothing for Love but at least we aren't idiots."
And so far I don't see it. Maybe there are some great offers that we haven't heard about. But anything we heard about isn't comparable to Wiggins. The way I see it, if the Cavs offer Wiggins, they'd be negotiating against themselves just like James Dolan did back then. Even if they offer Bennett, Waiters, Thompson, Miami 1st round pick, that would still be much better than other teams seem to be offering so far. Love, LeBron, Kyrie is nice. It's just that Love, LeBron, Kyrie and Wiggins is nicer.

Cirque du Soleil 'Quidam' swoops into Matt Court
EUGENE, Ore. - The well-known stage production, Cirque du Soleil Quidam, swooped into Eugene for performances at Matthew Knight Arena this week.
The show consists of acrobat routines, aerial hoops, skipping ropes, and many more daring acts.
The eye-catching performances helps tell the story of a girl named Zoe.
"It's like a story about this girl who is being ignored by her parents and who is busy with their lives," said Ardee Dionisio, a performer in the show. "That's when this little girl kind of had this imaginary world which is actually Quidam."
Ardee Dionisio is a 29-year-old native of Austria who is one of the star's of the Quidam show.
"My character is 'Target,' I'm kind of the best friend of the main character," Dionisio said.
A ballet dancer at heart, Dionisio never dreamed he'd be traveling around the world performing with 55 other talented performers from all over the world.
"The first time I saw my colleagues I was amazed at how they could do this thing," Dionisio said.
Though his acts may appear to be pretty daring as well, Dionisio doesn't think of it that way at all.
"Every time I'm on stage, I always feel like it's just my playground and I have to enjoy it," Dionisio said.
Cirque Du Soleil Quidam performances will be happening every night through Sunday, Oct. 28.
Tickets can be purchased at Matt Knight Arena.

Thanks to my wonderful sister for shooting these photos of Eli... and to the Grandparents for picking up this adorable little Santa suit!
Frame worthy for sure!
ps - Eli said "dada" tonight for the first time! But I'm pretty sure its just a bunch of consonant sounds he's making. Nothing deliberate. If that were the case, he'd be saying "Hazel" and "Mama" first!

The agricultural industry was a major driver in states across the country, contributing to America's economic recovery, but certain sectors remain anxious for 2014.
Several states recorded higher farm income levels in the last two years that were more than double levels from four years earlier. Prairie Business reports South Dakota's farm income topped $2 billion for the first time in 2008 and reached $4 billion and $3.5 billion in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
Jim Terwilliger, economist for the state Bureau of Finance and Management, said South Dakota's agricultural industry kept the state moving through the recession.
"Since 2008 things have pretty much just exploded in farm income," Terwilliger said. "Quite frankly, it's helped our state weather the recession we had better than almost any state in the nation."
Kentucky was another state with record farm production this year. Strong equine, poultry and cattle markets pushed Kentucky's farm cash receipts to over $6 billion. Ideal growing conditions boosted the state's crop production and livestock prices are likely to keep Kentucky's net farm income above $1.5 billion this year.
The USDA is projecting that U.S. net farm income will achieve a record high of $131 billion in 2013, up 15 percent from the previous year and breaking 2011's record by $13 billion.
Most farmers and ranchers see next year as a good year for agriculture, but low corn values and increasing farmland prices and rental rates will make it more difficult to improve profits even if yields get better. Growing crop supplies globally will ease demand for many major row crops in the near future.
Regional factors will also affect some farmers and ranchers going forward. The blizzard in early October killed thousands of cattle in western South Dakota and Nebraska, taking millions of dollars from producers and their regional economy. California's producers are planning for next year as they face continued drought and constrained feed supplies for livestock.
Congress can help solidify the future of America's agricultural industry, but uncertainty over a new five-year farm bill continues to weigh on the industry outlook.

Aino Linen Pillowcase
Greetings from an era when quality was given.
The story of the James Finlayson collection, named after the founder of the factory, begins where the history of the company started: the early 1800's. An era when no-one could afford to buy poor quality. Having travelled back in time among Finlayson's museum treasures, Anna Ruohonen selected materials for the collections and designed the patterns, honouring the old methods. As a result of that a collection with durable, functional and timelessly beautiful products, always made of materials of the highest quality, was born.• Size of pillowcase is 50 x 60 cm (19.7 x 23.6 in)• Material is 100 % linnen• Thread count (TC) 104• Product color is blue• Also suitable for people with allergies• Wash at 60C (140F)• Designed in Finland, made in China

Thousands of pounds could be spent improving two play parks in Malmesbury.
Preparations are in place to completely renovate Newnton Grove play park and Filands play area, using tens of thousands of pounds in planning gain money from developers of small plots.
It is thought up to £70,000 could be available for the proposals.
Coun Amanda Kettlety, of Malmesbury Town Council, is leading a working group looking at improving Newnton Grove play area, built by Greensquare Housing when it was Westlea.
She said: "I was very concerned about the health and safety of the park. It's really badly put together. We are looking at totally refurbishing it."
Many people have been complaining about a small group of unsupervised youngsters, no older than 11, shouting, swearing and intimidating mothers with toddlers.
Derek Tilney has been campaigning for improvements to the Newnton Grove park at various points since it opened in 2007. The most recent time was last November, when a heavy metal shackle that connects the swings fell down.
He said: "The mothers are worried up there, because once the park starts to go to pieces you get the yobby boys and girls.
"It needs someone to have a clean sweep, because it's the children who are the losers in this."
Ideas for Newnton Grove include a boundary wall to stop balls being kicked against fences, which are breaking; new play equipment, including a basketball hoop, an evened-out floor as the current one dips, and benches.
Anyone with ideas, or who would like to be involved in the transformation, can call Coun Kettlety on (01666) 829085.
Plans are also under way for the Filands play area, with resident Wayne Bull gathering the suggestions on how to improve the park and surrounding area.
About £40,000 is available for the renovation from the Hitchins Close small development and money left from Persimmon.
He said: "I live on the edge of the park. I overlook it and I walk my dog out there four times a day, so I know it well.
"One of the main problems we have got is dog mess. I've been to the youth and leisure committee at the town council and put forward my proposals and they have agreed it. It's for the town council to get quotes now."
Ideas include extending toddler area railings and the dog walkers' path, more dog waste bins, goalposts and bringing in more play equipment.

LITCHFIELD >> The people of Litchfield have spoken. More than a dozen residents, parents and children alike, defended the World Language position that is set to be cut in the $27 million overall budget.
Their voices were heard.
Following the public hearing, the Board of Finance held a special meeting and unanimously voted in favor of restoring $32,000 to the education budget--the exact cost of the World Language position.
While the Board of Finance cannot dictate what the Board of Education does with this money, the message is clear.
"It's very difficult to change the budget at this point, but I'm actually willing to do it," David Geiger, chairman of the Board of Finance said.
Geiger said the second issue, the district-wide elimination of library book purchases at a savings of $15,500 could also be solved using leftover funds from this fiscal year. The Board of Education's books are kept open for two additional months after the June 30 deadline, Geiger said, so something like library book purchases could be charged back to the current year.
"I believe there's gonna be enough money left in the current year's budget that all the library books needed could be purchased," he said.
From here, it will be up to the Board of Education to vote to add this position to the budget at either its upcoming May 1 meeting or at a special meeting prior.
With the additional $32,000 the board of education budget would rise to $15,858,545 for a 1.3 percent increase over 2012-13. This is a 0.2 percent increase over the proposal without the additional $32,000.
The overall budget, now at $27,642,466, remains at a 1.4 percent increase over the last fiscal year.
Flyers reading "Save our Programs" were posted outside the school, and several children in the audience held up similar signs.
Prior to the special meeting, Geiger, First Selectman Leo Paul and Superintendent Deborah Wheeler each gave presentations on the budget. Overall, 57 percent of the budget is education, 31 percent comes from the selectmen and 12 percent is debt service.
"We ask tough questions of these boards and all of these smaller departments that come before the Board of Finance, to make sure that the tax money is well spent," Geiger said.
Paul highlighted the major increases and decreases in the $8,398,480 selectman's budget, which is a 1.87 percent increase. He mentioned the $189,000 in town road aid funds that have been moved back into the capital budget from operating.
Wheeler presented the education budget, with the priorities being protecting quality instruction in core content areas, expanding the capacity for using technology to deliver curriculum and maintaining class sizes along with enrollment, among other things.
"In a small district like ours where we are struggling to maintain a comprehensive high school program, it's a real balancing act when we get to budgeting," she said.

Cry me a river! Should I call a wambulance?
I feel like uncorking the R-rated versions of these G-rated putdowns after reading a recent court case filed by a prisoner in California at the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of California. Truth be told, it is not a rare occurrence to come upon litigation related to prison food on the Government Printing Office website. While Joe Lunchbucket is happy with a bologna sandwich and chips, some prisoner always feels the government is not giving him the diet he deserves.
This particular case was filed by a prisoner in California.
From the summary of the complaint, the picture starts to become clear:
Plaintiff alleges the following. Plaintiff is a member of the Creativity religion, also known as Ecclesia Creatoris, for over 12 years, and has been an ordained minister of his church for a decade.
As explained in the footnotes of the complaint, the "Creativity" religion has an oath promising "undying loyalty to the White Race and to the World Church of the Creator." The oath reads,
"I will practice the Golden Rule, namely, to promote the best interests of the White Race; that I believe in the mission of the World Church of the Creator, will obey instructions issued by my superiors, and will fight for its aims by lawful means."
Gee, who knew the "Golden Rule" was about promoting the best interests of the white race?
Turns out the followers of the Creativity religion practice "Salubrious Living," which consists of a fruitarian diet of raw organic whole fruits, vegetables, and some grains, and clean, pure water or freshly squeezed juice from organic fruits and vegetables.
Uh, yeah, we see where this is going. Besides objecting to prison authorities confiscating what were determined to be racist posters from his cell, our plaintiff also thought the standard issue vegetarian diet wasn't meeting his religious obligations.
From the complaint:
Plaintiff complains that the religious vegetarian diet which he receives fails to meet his religious requirements. Plaintiff complains that (prison staff) will not discuss the creation of a fruitarian diet.
After he was denied the "fruitarian diet" the plaintiff wanted to be allowed to eat the Jewish kosher diet. From the complaint:
Plaintiff submit ted a request to Defendant Rabbi John Doe 1, requesting placement on the Jewish Kosher diet as the closest alternative diet. On May 17, 2012, Defendant Doe denied Plaintiff's request because he is not Jewish. Plaintiff alleges violations of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the Establishment Clause, violation of his right to petition the government for redress of grievances, violation of his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, violation of equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, and violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000. Plaintiff requests compensatory and punitive damages, and declaratory and injunctive relief.
At this point in the document we hold our breath and hope the court dispatches this nuisance lawsuit from our white power religionist with extreme prejudice. We would have real cause to dread the state of our courts if the judge decided to create an organic juicing station for this nut. Thankfully, our inmate with the "Creativity" religion and the "fruitarian" diet saw his lawsuit dismissed by the district court judge. No freshly squeezed juice from organic fruits and vegetables – sorry! Would you like a crymenol?

Silver for super school students
10:16am Wednesday 26th March 2014
10:16am Wednesday 26th March 2014
CHILDREN, parents and teachers from Neyland Community School left their cars at home and jumped on their bikes and scooters on Friday, March 14, to take part in a 'super' competition.
As part of Sustrans' Big Pedal competition, children dressed as superheroes for the school run – and gained a silver Sustrans Award for their efforts.
The school, one of several county schools involved in the competition, came 173rd UK wide – with a whopping 68 per cent of the school travelling in by bike or scooter on the last day of the event.
Radio Pembrokeshire's Carl Hartley joined in the fun by interviewing children and parents dressed as 'Radio Man'.
Mayor of Neyland Maureen Molyneux, accompanied by her consort and Sustrans' Sue Mathias, awarded the school their Silver Sustrans award at a special Bike It! Assembly.
TJ Stables, Neyland Community School Bike It! officer, said: "We were amazed by how many turned up as superheroes from nursery to year 6 - the bike shelters were full to bursting!"
"We are delighted to receive the Silver Award, and split the fundraising donations between Sustrans and Sports Relief."
She added: "A massive thank-you must go to our parents for their ongoing support in the Bike It! scheme. We couldn't do it without them."
The Big Pedal is the UK's biggest school cycling competition to get kids active.
It is powered by Sustrans, the UK's leading sustainable transport charity and pioneer of the National Cycle Network.

Light a fuseLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
You have 2 fuses. One fuse burns for 1 hour, the other burns for 2 hours. The problem is that the fuses burn irregular. The last few inches may burn longer than first few inches. Using the 2 fuses how can you create a fuse that burns for exactly 45 minutes. Remember, cutting them does no good since you don't know how long the cut fuse lasts.
AnswerYou burn both sides of the 1 hour fuse and 1 side of the 2 hour fuse at the same time. Regardless of the varying speeds of the one hour fuse, when it goes out it has been 30 minutes. At that point there would be 1 hour and 30 minutes left on the 2 hour fuse. You then light the other end of the 2 hour fuse and since the burning time would be cut in half the fuse would be 45 minutes long.

Zito plans to change little vs. Rockies
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Zito avoids overthinking when he faces an opponent in back-to-back starts, as he'll do Saturday when he faces the Colorado Rockies for the second time in a week.
"You can look back to certain things that you want to do differently, but for the most part, you can't change too much," Zito said. "These guys know what I've got and I know what they've got. Know what I mean?"
Zito definitely means to improve upon last Sunday's appearance at Colorado, where he absorbed the decision in the Giants' 5-0 loss. Zito allowed all of the Rockies' runs as well as 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Zito has faced the same opponent in consecutive starts four times since he joined the Giants in 2007. He has had mixed success in his encore outings, posting a 1-2 record with a 3.97 ERA. Included in those four appearances were two quality starts and two games in which he lasted 3 2/3 innings.
Overall, Zito has thrived against the Rockies, whom he has faced 22 times in his career. The left-hander has built an 8-3 mark with a 2.70 ERA in those confrontations.

What WSJ Canada Is Reading Friday
By Karen Johnson
These are a few of the stories we're reading early Friday.
The U.S. has intercepted an order from Iran to militants in Iraq to attack the U.S. Embassy and other American interests in Baghdad in the event of a strike on Syria, officials said, amid an expanding array of reprisal threats across the region.
Toll Brothers Inc. Standard Pacific Corp. and Brookfield Homes Corp. are finalists in the bidding for Shapell Homes, a 58-year-old Southern California home building company that is expected to sell for about $1.5 billion.
Canada's farmland prices continue to blossom. A dramatic run-up in farm-country real estate is helping to pit farmers against their neighbors and sometimes hedge fund managers in a race to gather arable land.
Five years after the financial crisis, corporate borrowers are taking new loans hand over fist from investors hungry for higher returns.
And could this be Canada's hockey jersey for the Sochi Olympics?

Topic: Macrobiotic diet. Cancer marker and liver blood tests are lowering...
my father was discovered a very aggressive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Some liver blood tests went on increasing from 100 to 600 in 2 months.
Doctors says it was just a question of time, but gave us so few chances.
So my daddy went to a chemist, in Lugan, Swiss. This man is quite known in Swiss and he cure mostly people who have to support a chemio therapy. He gives you the elements to defaticate the liver and to wash away what is dangerous for the liver itself. He began cured my daddy 2 weeks ago.
Well, yesterday he was in the hospital for the chemio and the liver blood test passed from 600 to 200 in only two weeks!!! even cancer marker are lowering.
Doctors say it can be this kind of diet, which is used to clean the liver itself. The only thing they say is that you have pay attention to your weight, because you can't loose more than 1-2 kilos a month. Well, the first days my daddy lost 4 kilos, but it was mostly water. Now he has to pay attention not to loose so much weight.
This chemist did not gave my daddy green tea but karkade.
This evening I will see my parents and I can have a copy of this kind of diet, so I can write it to you.
I think it can be interesting. My daddy could not be operated, no resection could be possibile and now...we have some chances.
Take it as a suggestion, but we have seen the results in 2 weeks only.
My daddy doesn't feel weak, even if we all thought it was a drastic diet.
He will have to do it for at least 5 month.
I hope somebody could be interested in it.
I will write everything for you during the weekend, for the ones who may be interested in it.
Here below, a short schema of what he can eat:
For breakfast he can eat rye bread with free sugar marmelade and a little sponge of margarine. Always at breakfast he has to take water with linseed.
At lunch he has soup with cereals or oat. Some boiled vegetable and fresh fruit. The same at dinner time.
During the day he has lot of supplements.
He has to drink 1 liter of rise starch a day.
1-2 times a week he can eat blu fish, no shellfish, cooked in the oven with no seasoning. Not to loose weight, oncologists says he has to eat it 3-4 times a week.
One a week he can eat white meat.
