Fired-up workers picketing a Lansing construction project Monday had a message for the city, hire local.
They're upset Lansing went with outside contractors for the job.
"We're here, we're working and willing to take on more," Glenn Freeman with the Greater Lansing Labor Council said.
The multi-million dollar project will create a central city garage. Lansing wants to consolidate its fleet of vehicles and maintenance in one place.
"The workers on this site are non-local workers, we've got them coming from as far away as Ohio and Grand Rapids," a frustrated Freeman said. He believes contractors from the Lansing area should do the job.
City leaders say it's not that simple.
"When we're going to do a project, we don't just go our and hire the mayor's friends, or hire people we like, or hire the people we know," Mayor Virg Bernero said. "We put it out for bid."
Bernero says Lansing did that, multiple times. The first round of bids came in way too high, so the city put off the work and shopped around.
"I can't understand what their beef is," Bernero said. "In terms of looking out for the taxpayer that's what I have to do, the taxpayer comes first."
Bernero says he wants to hire local, but in this case local work was simply too expensive. "We saved considerable dollars, tens of thousands of dollars by going with the contractors we did," he said.
Picketing contractors understand budgets are tight, but say we can't forget money spent at home stays here. Local workers invest in their community, Freeman says.
Freeman was also disappointed in the city's bidding process. He says it's difficult to make a competitive bid when a city seeks bids several times.
Bernero argues Lansing has the right and obligation to seek out the best possible price.
The contractors the city selected are both union and non-union. They wouldn't cross the picket line Monday, however Bernero says that should not delay the project or increase the cost.
By city ordinance, local workers do get preference for local work. Anytime Lansing makes a purchase over $1,000 it must include a local bid. Also, if an area contractor is within five percent of a lower offer, the city will go back to that contractor and give them a chance to match it.
That rule didn't apply to this project. There is an exemption for construction work over $500,000.

The Jewels of Cartier's Short Film L'Odyssee de Cartier
The Exotic True Stories Behind the Jewels in Cartier's L'Odyssée de Cartier Film
Cartier recently released its first "short film," a fantasy short called L'Odyssée de Cartier, where a diamond panther set in the window of the Paris store comes alive and goes around the world in a series of adventures that touch upon memorable notes in the famed jeweler and watchmaker's 165-year-old history. Screened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week, it was an impressive debut for what is, by definition, an ad, but an extremely beautiful, well-executed, three-minute one. We were particularly fascinated by the scenes in St. Petersburg, India, and China and the plethora of animals shown. We did some research and found enough history to do a feature film. Considering this short film was two years in the making with a crew of 60 people, we won't wait around for the feature, but we're going to stick to one of our trusty slideshows to show you some seriously impressive jewels — and the Indiana Jones-worthy stories behind them.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - While the latest graduation rate figures for Bullitt County put the district behind state averages, superintendent Keith Davis isn't overly concerned.
The data, which calculates the graduation rate for the Class of 2011, shows that two schools are well below the state average but Davis is convinced several factors play a part in the numbers.

I thought it might be interesting to find out which Dhamma similes people have found useful in their actual practice.
For example, the taming of the wild elephant... I've been using this simile lately to centre myself and try to prevent the mind wandering of in streams of papanca. I hope to tame this elephant and make it give up on escape (into the realm of sensory pleasures).
Another simile I've found useful in the past is the one about balancing of bowl of oil on your head, whilst there's entertainments all round, and villains waiting to slit your throat if you spill a drop.
Mara as a personification of evil and unwholesomeness also seems like a useful device, though I've not used it often and it doesn't quite classify as a simile.
Has anyone else found a practical application for any of the classic Dhamma similes?

It's time for the federal government to directly take over the monitoring and reporting of the BP oil spill's impacts on marine life, the environment and public health, National Wildlife Federation President and CEO Larry Schweiger said in testimony before the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee today. He highlighted BP's failure to publicly disclose results from its tests of chemical dispersants, as well as BP's efforts to withhold video showing the true magnitude of the spill.
The National Wildlife Federation joined with 10 conservation organizations in sending a letter to President Obama today urging a more direct federal role in the spill response.
"The federal government should immediately take over all environmental monitoring, testing, and public safety protection from BP," said Larry Schweiger. "Too much information is now in the hands of BP's many lawyers and too little is being disclosed to the public.
"The statement yesterday from BP CEO Hayward that the environmental damage will be 'very modest' lacks common sense and common decency," said Larry Schweiger. "The Gulf of Mexico is a crime scene and the perpetrator cannot be left in charge of assessing the damage. The government needs to make sure that the right testing is done and that all data is disclosed to the public."
In his testimony, Larry Schweiger also asked lawmakers to:
"We must hold oil companies and other corporations accountable for doing their fair share to reduce pollution and to create a path that takes us truly beyond petroleum," said Larry Schweiger. "This is not just about making off-shore oil platforms safer; it is about creating a safer energy platform for America."
After the spill, Larry Schweiger led a National Wildlife Federation team to Louisiana's Gulf Coast, talking to local wildlife officials and fishing boat captains as he visited frontline communities, wetlands and fishing grounds. The National Wildlife Federation continues to monitor the spill and cleanup efforts in partnership with the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, NWF's state affiliate, and NWF's Coastal Louisiana office.
Read the letter signed by NWF and 10 other conservation organizations urging a more direct federal role in the spill response.

Marc Jacobs New Sorbet Splash Fragrances
Coming Soon: Marc Jacobs Sorbet Splash Scents
Brace yourself for another set of Marc Jacobs Splashes due out in April. This time around, MJ doesn't mess with fancy floral or grassy fragrances. Nope, the limited-edition Sorbet Splashes ($65 each) come in Grapefruit, Basil and Pear scents.
The scents are designed for layering, but of course they can be worn separately. (Remind you of Jo Malone much?) And once again, they come packaged in Marc's signature thick glass bottles.
I haven't been able to get my hands on any samples yet, but after reading about the ingredients, I am most excited about Pear Splash. There's something refreshing about biting into a sweet and juicy over-ripe fresh fruit in the summertime.
For more specifics,
- Basil Splash contains notes of tomato leaf, lemongrass, basil, freesia, jasmine, white musk, cashmeran, sandalwood and orange flower.
- Grapefruit Splash is made from a blend of citrus, woods, orange flower, watery ozone (what's that), ginger, freesia, tagette, amber, white musk and patchouli.
- Pear Splash is a mix of bergamot, lemon zest, pear, freesia, juniper, gin accord, musk, teak-wood and amber.

Ferrari holds Ferrari Racing Day events each year at famous racetracks around the world so Ferrari owners can race Ferrari 458 Challenge cars, and give attendees the chance to watch famous Ferrari racecars in action. One of those ex-factory Ferrari racecars making an appearance at the last Ferrari Racing Day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was the Ferrari 333 SP, which just so happened to have cameras mounted around the car as it lapped the raceway.
The Ferrari 333 SP was Ferrari's Sports Prototype entrant for most of the '90s. The racecar was powered by a 4.0-liter Formula-1 derived V-12 that reportedly produced upwards of 600 horsepower. This video shows onboard footage of the 333 SP lapping Laguna Seca while being passed by a more modern ex-factory Ferrari F1 car multiple times.
The video features four different camera angles, providing three different looks at how the Ferrari 333 SP gets around the legendary track. The start of the video features a single camera mounted above the engine intake, giving an excellent look at the fastest lines around Laguna Seca. Starting at 3:05, the view changes to a front-mounted camera that looks back at the driver. Fast forward to 7:02 and the camera angle changes up again, this time to a forward-facing camera mounted just inches off the asphalt. Skip ahead to 10:13 and you get the view from the driver's helmet-mounted cam, allowing you see what Laguna Seca is like from behind the wheel of a Ferrari 333 SP.
You can check out the video for yourself below.

The Government has been urged to get behind ambitious proposals to bring Crossrail 2 to south-west London.
As reported yesterday, business leaders have brought forward proposals to bring a next phase of Crossrail to the capital in the 2020s, to be discussed tonight.
The plan is backed by London's mayor, Boris Johnson, who said the case for Crossrail 2 was "incontestable".
London First's proposed route would involve building an underground tunnel from Wimbledon to Tottenham Hale via Tooting Broadway, Clapham Junction, and a number of central London stops.
The lobbying group's Crossrail taskforce, chaired by former transport secretary Andrew, Lord Adonis, proposes Crossrail 2 via Wimbledon would include separate branches to Epsom, Chessington South via Surbiton, Hampton Court and Twickenham via Kingston.
In its report, launched today, Lord Adonis said: "We urge the Mayor and central government to take forward preparations for Crossrail 2, including a credible funding plan embracing the public and private sectors, with a view to construction in the 2020s.
"London has opened only one and a half new underground lines since the Second World War (the Victoria line and the Jubilee Line Extension).
"Crossrail 2 will be as essential as Crossrail 1 for London to provide jobs and prosperity in the next generation."
They also said the need for Crossrail 2 has become greater since the Government decided to press ahead with a new high-speed rail link to Birmingham and the North (High Speed 2, or HS2) – which would put more strain on Euston station.
Boris: "There is no time to lose"
Mr Johnson said: "The case for the construction of Crossrail 2 is incontestable and is made forcibly in this report.
"Over the next 20 years London's population is forecast to expand to levels that will clog the Tube and rail arteries of our great city if we do not provide more capacity.
"There is no time to lose and my team will work closely with London First and others on developing plans for this vital railway."
Network Rail have also thrown their support behind Crossrail 2.
The rail operator's chief executive, David Higgins, said: "Our projections show that, by 2031, we will need to accommodate 36 per cent more commuters into London each day.
"Network Rail is already delivering the biggest capacity improvement programme since the Victorian era, but even that will not be enough on some routes.
"A regional Crossrail 2 scheme will provide the capacity we need to provide for the commuters of the future, providing extra capacity to and through central London and easing overcrowding on the already congested routes into Waterloo and Liverpool Street."
The proposal for the route is set to be reviewed early next year by the Department for Transport.

Changes have been approved to the points system for 50-over games in the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League for this season.
Clubs at the annual meeting at High Wycombe CC on Tuesday agreed that winning sides in this format will receive 20 points rather than 25.
In addition, losing sides will be able to claim more batting and bowling bonus points.
The changes have been introduced as it was felt the points differential between winners and losers in this format was too great.
The Duckworth/Lewis Method will also be introduced for rain-afffected 50-over matches.
The season will again be split between 50-over games and time matches, and in the latter, Division 1 games switch from a 66/54 overs split to 64/56. Division 2 matches will now be 58/52 rather than 60/50.
Winning sides in these games will continue to pick up 25 points.
With the Hertfordshire clubs breaking away, the league will have just two divisions, with promotion and relegation on a two-up and two-down basis, with two sides to be relegated from Division .
It was also reported that the England & Wales Cricket Board had confirmed their backing of the competition as a premier league.
A presentation was made to Raymond Wood, the league's founder chairman, who stepped down after 14 years, with Banbury CC's Martin Phillips being confirmed as his successor.
Wood remains on the committee, though, after being co-opted as acting treasurer.
Chairman: M Phillips; secretary: P Tomlin; fixture secretary: J Goodman; acting treasurer: R Wood; committee members: D Burden, R Evans, D Morris, M Simmons, K Newell, G Stearn.

Some sources are suggesting that the Jazz are talking to teams about moving Boozer. If this is true, I wonder if there is any way we could come up with a reasonable deal.
Would any combination of Ford, Murphy, Foster, and future picks be enough to tempt the Jazz. How about Murphy, Ford, and a future first for Boozer and Harpring?
Seems like Ford could be a nice change of pace backing up Williams, who is more of a strong point guard than a really speedy point guard. Also, assuming Millsap resigns, a front line of Millsap and Murphy would make a killing on the glass.
Obviously, the trade would give us the strong power forward we need, and a backup wing. Any chance Utah would make a deal with us??

Earlier this week, I did a roundup of some emerging-market ETFs, comparing their pros and cons.
While some of those have notched hefty year-to-date gains, there are some even better performers hailing from the ranks of global-market ETFs.
Be aware: Even for those who use tactical allocation, there is inherent risk with country-specific funds. It's too easy for bad news to suddenly slam a particular country. A dramatic example can be seen in the iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund's (EWJ) gap lower in March 2011, after the earthquake and nuclear crisis. For the month, the fund was down 10.5%.
Granted, that's a somewhat obvious example, but it illustrates the risks inherent with allocating too much into a specific country. Even in developed nations, news can send stocks sharply lower.
While the markets were closed, I ran some scans of country-specific ETFs showing the best price appreciation.
The iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund (EWG) is up 18.63% year-to-date, closing Friday at $22.80. The fund's expense ratio is 0.51%, less than many from the emerging-market category. Its dividend yield is 2.6%.
Top holdings include the Germany-traded shares of Siemens, BASF, Bayer, SAP, Allianz, Daimler, Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Telekom.
Technically, the stock is forming a handle formation above its 10-week moving average. That's potentially bullish chart action, but, as with individual stocks, use extra caution in a market downturn.
The iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (EWH), which has been in rally mode since June, climbed to a 52-week high of $18.92 last week. The fund has about $2.6 billion in assets under management and an expense ratio of 0.52%.
Unlike the Germany fund, the roster of top holdings in the EWH contains few names that are familiar to Americans. The top holding, however, is AIA Group. If that has a familiar ring, it's because it is the Asian unit of insurer AIG (AIG) that was spun off as a separate company in 2009. It constitutes about 12% of the fund.
Other top holdings are: Sun Hung Kai Properties, Cheung Kong Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing.
It's not just developed nation funds that are leading the pack. The iShares MSCI Mexico Investable Market Index Fund (EWW) is up 22.41% year to date. It closed Friday at $66.47, and was trading lower early in Wednesday's session.
Here, as you might guess, there are some familiar names. The fund includes the Mexico-listed shares of several companies that also have ADRs in the U.S. Those include America Movil (AMX), Fomento Economico Mexicano (FMX), Cemex (CX) and Grupo Televisa (TV). The Mexico-listed unit of Wal-Mart (WMT) is also a top holding.
The fund has nearly $1.5 billion under management. Its expense ratio is 0.52%.
For the month, the ETF was showing a gain of around 0.6%, about 90 minutes into Friday's session. It was trading at the bottom of its monthly range, but if the gains hold, October will mark the fifth month out of the past six that the fund will finish higher.

2007 Super Bowl XLI Champions!
I think they were going to rest Sanders until they were certain that he felt fine. I'd rather have him healthy for the playoffs than playing now.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Exactly. We need him now, but we need him more in the playoffs. The offense has done fine without Stokely, but might be even better with him. It'll be nice to have them back, that's for sure.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.

- Photography by Mr Nicola Carignani
For most of us, an expensive umbrella is seen as something of an extravagance: the sort of thing that a man invests in once he has ticked everything else off his "to buy" list. But to a certain type of man - the type who aspires towards sartorial elegance in all matters - it is far more important than that. After all, what good are a pair of Northampton-made shoes, a bespoke Savile Row suit and a briefcase cut from the finest Italian calf-leather if, at the first sign of rain, you're forced to duck for cover underneath an InjuryLawyers4U golf umbrella?
One man providing a particularly elegant solution to this problem is fifth-generation "ombrellaio", Mr Francesco Maglia. From a small workshop on the southern outskirts of Milan, he presides over one of Italy's last traditional umbrella makers - a business that began in Pavia with his great-great-grandfather, the first Francesco Maglia, some 160 years ago.
Our customers are pleasure people. The kind who buy a beautiful pair of shoes and want something equally beautiful to protect them from the rain
His shop is completely festooned with umbrellas: propped up against walls, neatly arrayed on racks and stands, and lining workbenches in various states of assembly. Lining the walls is a small fraction of what Mr Maglia claims to be the world's largest collection of umbrella-themed postcards and photographs. One depicts the scene at Hyde Park Corner at the end of WWI, of a victorious crowd completely submerged under a sea of black umbrella canopies; another shows the interior of James Smith & Sons, the famous umbrella shop that has stood on London's New Oxford Street since 1857.
The French call him "Le roi du parapluie", the Germans, "der König der Schirme". Both mean the same thing: the king of umbrellas. Standing at an imposing six and a half feet tall, bedecked in an eclectic array of tweeds and sporting a snow-white, Santa Claus beard, Mr Maglia - the fifth man in five generations of umbrella makers to bear his name - suits this regal appellation rather well.
Mr Maglia, a fifth-genration "ombrellaio", has
been making the finest umbrellas for 49 years

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A woman who testified that her husband abducted, assaulted and killed a 6-year-old Brunswick boy and who was prepared to do the same against her son will now face a trial on the same charges.
Peggy Edenfield, her husband, David, and adult son, George, were all charged with false imprisonment, sexual assault and murder after Christopher Barrios' naked body was found stuffed in a garbage bag in March 2007.
The state made Peggy Edenfield a plea offer on charges in her role in Christopher's death. During a status hearing in her case with Superior Court Judge Stephen Scarlett on Monday afternoon, she rejected the offer to plead guilty in exchange for 30 years in prison and elected to face a trial.
While the death penalty is still off the table, a guilty verdict could land Peggy Edenfield in prison for life.
The Barrios family was not happy that Peggy Edenfield could get a lesser penalty than her husband and called Monday's development a victory.
David Edenfield, 62, was convicted and sentenced to death in October 2009. George Edenfield was found incompetent to stand trial last summer.
According to the plea offer Peggy Edenfield signed in November 2007, the state would remove the death penalty and would not seek life in prison without parole as options in her case if she agreed to testify against her husband and son and tell investigators what happened to Christopher's clothes.
The agreement called for the state and defense to either agree on a plea agreement or take her case to trial after the cases against David and George Edenfield were completed.
Going forward with another trial, attorneys for both sides said they would like to explore a change of venue -- either moving the trial to another county or importing a jury from elsewhere in the state.
"I'm going to be there, guaranteed. That won't stop me," Christopher's grandmother, Sue Rodriguez, said of moving the trial. "Just like the mailman, rain, sleet or snow, I'm going to be there. ... I would walk through fire in order to see them get their justice."

Category: coolest celebrity baby names
We all know that the names of celebrities and their babies inspire real life baby names, but which celebrities' names are the most influential right now?
To find out, we went behind the scenes at nameberry and looked at which names enjoyed the biggest bumps up in traffic at the beginning of 2011 over the same period in 2010.
Of course, many of these celebrity names are getting lots of views because they're in the news: Flynn and Marlowe are newborn starbabies, Rooney is the hot star of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. But others are there simply because they've captured the public interest at this moment.
Here, in order of popularity, are the hottest celebrity-inspired names right now.

A matrix switch is a really important module. I watched a demo at length on matrix switch being used in the 5U format and really wanted one. To see the video I am talking about that got me inspired: click here. Thankfully WMD has released their Sequential Switch Matrix and it looks great!
"Our take on an essential module. Four inputs can be routed with individual buttons to four outputs. Those routing settings are stored in an array of matrices that can be sequenced or controlled with CV. Preset routing, feedback loops, chop sequences, trigger blasts (with expander), four-bit-wavetable-synthesis, and dramatic controllable mayhem are all possible." – wmdevices.com

WESTLECOT men return to action in the east section of the Wessex League tomorrow when they meet Rivermead (Reading) .
They have not played for two months since beating Oxford City and County 106-69 and 14-2 on November 3 owing to their turn to sit out a round in the nine-strong league and the staging of the Westlecot Open Singles Tournament on two weekends in December.
Westlecot have therefore only played three matches and lie fifth in the East Region table, 25 points adrift of surprise leaders Loddon Vale (Basingstoke) but they have a match in hand on all the teams above them.
They will need to win at least three of their remaining four matches in the next seven weeks to give themselves a chance of making the end of season play-offs as an east region top two automatic qualifier or a best third placed wild card entrant .
Sun Jan 5: Banbury v Oxford C&C; Oxford & D v Loddon Vale; Carterton v Chipping Norton; Westlecot v Rivermead (Reading).
Sun Jan 19: Westlecot v West Berks; Carterton v Loddon Vale.
Sun Jan 26: Banbury v Westlecot; Oxford & D v Oxford C & C; West Berks v Rivermead.
Home – Rink 1: Mike Bowden, Andy Gomershall, Terry Walton & Tom Pittuck.
Rink 2: Dave Matthews, Kevin Lee, Steve Remington & Chris Cheesley.
Away – Rink 1: John Anderson, John Blake, Mike Titcombe Jnr & Kyle Anderson.
Rink 2: Lawrence Smith, Geoff Smith, Mike Shawyer & James Nobbs

Offense comes to life with four-run sixth that delivers rubber match
ATLANTA -- Less than three weeks into his Major League career, Tommy La Stella has already proven that he is unfazed by the bright lights of the big stage. More importantly, he has lived up to the expectation that he would be the consistent-contact element the Braves lineup sorely needed.
A night after seeing a four-run ninth inning rally go to waste in a 13-inning loss, the Braves concluded a three-game series against the Angels with Sunday night's 7-3 victory. La Stella highlighted his first career three-hit performance with a go-ahead double that capped a decisive four-run sixth inning.
"I think La Stella thinks there's another league the way he carries himself," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It doesn't surprise me that he's this comfortable, the way he carries himself."
Though he has played just 16 games dating to his Major League debut on May 28, La Stella has already recorded more hits (23) while playing second base than any of the other Braves players who have manned the position this year. But it's safe to say the crown jewel of this collection was created when he came to the plate with the bases loaded during Sunday's sixth and sent his decisive two-run double into the right-center-field gap.
Unfazed by his first chance to play in front of a national television audience, La Stella savored the chance to stir the home fans with his second career extra-base hit.
"It was pretty awesome," La Stella said. "It was one of the cooler things I've been blessed to be a part of."
While La Stella was improving his batting average to .411, Freddie Freeman was feeding off the momentum created by the game-tying double he registered in Saturday's ninth inning. Freeman doubled in the first inning and fueled the decisive sixth with a single that provided him just his second multi-hit performance in his past 16 games.
As Freeman has spent the past few weeks mired in a slump, the Braves have received consistent production from Evan Gattis, who extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a unique-looking single that accounted for the first of the four runs charged to Angels starter Hector Santiago in the sixth inning.
By the time the Braves completed their sudden assault on Santiago and Kevin Jepsen, they had erased all the damage incurred by Mike Minor, who managed to allow just three runs despite surrendering a career-high 11 hits in a second straight start.
"He competed and stayed in the game," Gonzalez said. "It's hard to give up only three runs on 11 hits. So, he was doing something right. He wasn't giving in."
Though he consistently pitched from the stretch during his five innings of work, Minor limited his damage to three runs, two of which came courtesy of solo home runs hit by Erick Aybar and Mike Trout. The early deficit looked menacing as the Braves produced two hits through the first five innings against Santiago, who was making just his second start since being recalled from the Minors.
Santiago's surprising dominance conjured memories of this past week, when the Braves struggled in Denver against Tyler Matzek during his Major League debut and Jhoulys Chacin, who entered Thursday's start with a 5.35 ERA. But this storyline proved to be different after Freeman notched the first of the five consecutive hits recorded by the hosts in the sixth.
Gattis' RBI single assumed the appearance of a billiards trick shot as it sliced off the end of his bat and plopped down in shallow right field. Justin Upton followed with a sharp RBI single that a diving David Freese prevented from reaching the outfield grass. Two batters later, La Stella brought the home crowd to its feet when he hit his double into the right-center-field gap.
"Luck turned their way," Santiago said. "I felt like the better pitch I made, the luckier they got. I made some really good pitches right there, and I can't do anything about that. I mean, I feel like I made some really, really good pitches right there and it just went their way."
Jason Heyward helped the Braves gain some cushion when he began a two-run seventh inning with a solo home run off Cam Bedrosian. Heyward, who has hit three of his eight home runs within a span of his past 10 games, also made two impressive catches to rob Trout of hits. The Braves right fielder made a head-first diving catch in the fourth inning and a went against the right-field wall to complete another defensive gem in the sixth.
"If Jason doesn't make those two plays, we might lose the game," Gonzalez said. "There were a lot of good things offensively and defensively."

LAKEPORT -- Jury selection is set to begin next week for the trial of a Kelseyville man charged with second-degree murder in connection with a car crash that killed a Laytonville woman more than three years ago.
Alejandro Aurelio Arias, 31, pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and three other felonies stemming from the Sept. 11, 2009 collision.
Authorities allege Arias drove about 100 mph through a red light at the intersection of highways 29 and 175 in Lakeport and crashed into a car driven by Charlane Hill.
Hill, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her two passengers suffered significant injuries.
Wearing orange and white jail stripes, Arias appeared Thursday morning at the Lake County Courthouse, where Judge David W. Herrick assigned the trial a courtroom and judge.
Retired Judge Robert L. Crone Jr. will preside over the trial in Lake County Superior Court Department 2. Jury selection will start Wednesday morning.
Defense counsel Doug Rhoades said a jury could be seated by Nov. 9 but definitely by Nov. 16. The parties hope to complete arguments and testimony by Dec. 14, he added.

Scientific Name: Family Lampyridae
Description: There are a number of different species of fireflies, none of which are actually flies—they're beetles! They get the names "firefly" and "lightning bug" because of the flashes of light they naturally produce. This phenomenon is called bioluminescence, and the bioluminescent organs in fireflies are found on the underside of the abdomen. A similar group of organisms are glowworms. The term "glowworm" can refer to firefly larva or wingless adult females—some of which are not in the firefly family Lampyridae. Both glowworms and fireflies are bioluminescent. The important distinction is that fireflies have wings and glowworms do not.
Size: Up to 1 inch.
Diet: The larvae eat snails, worms, and slugs, which they inject with a numbing chemical to disable. Adults eat other fireflies, nectar, or pollen, although some don't eat at all.
Typical Lifespan: Approximately 2 months in the wild.
Habitat: Found throughout the United States in parks, meadows, gardens, and woodland edges. They are easily seen on summer evenings.
Range: Fireflies are found in temperate and tropical regions on every continent except Antarctica.
Life History and Reproduction: All larvae are able to produce light to deter predators, but some species lose this ability in adulthood. Each species has its own pattern of light flashing, which is controlled by the nervous system. Some species, such as the Pennsylvania firefly (Photuris pensylvanica) are still bioluminescent as adults and use their flashes to attract mates of their species. This species also uses light to attract their prey, the big dipper firefly (Photinis pyralis), which they eat to obtain defensive chemicals. Aside from mating and prey attraction, it's thought that bioluminescence may be a defense mechanism for the insects—the light lets predators know that their potential meal isn't very tasty and might even be toxic!
Bioluminescence in fireflies is nearly 100 percent efficient, meaning that little energy is wasted to produce their light. By contrast, an incandescent light bulb is only 10 percent efficient—90 percent of the energy is lost as heat. For another comparison, the heat produced by a candle is 80,000 times greater than the amount of heat given off by a firefly's light of the same brightness. Fireflies must be more efficient to save energy.
Conservation status: Anecdotal evidence suggests that firefly populations may be on the decline. Fireflies live in fields, meadows, forests, and other natural habitats. As these areas become fewer due to development, it's important to welcome fireflies into your backyard!
Glowing organisms have captured our curiosity for centuries, yet scientists are still discovering how they glow—and why

POLICE are looking for a vital potential witness to an alleged sexual assault in North Yorkshire.
A horse rider, believed to be a woman, was in the Kirkham Priory area near Malton at about 7.30am on Tuesday, October 29, and disturbed the occupants of a small white van.
North Yorkshire Police want to speak to the rider who may have information which could help their investigation into a number of serious offences, including rape.
A man is in custody awaiting trial, accused of kidnapping a 20-year-old woman in York and raping her during a journey to Malton and back.
Detective Sgt John Spivey of the force's Major Crime Unit, said: "We appreciate that some time has passed since this incident happened, but we hope our appeal will prompt someone's memory.
"It's likely that the rider was unaware that an alleged serious crime was being committed at the time but it is very important that we speak to them as they could have vital information which could help our investigation and I urge them to make contact as soon as possible. If anyone knows any riders who ride in the Kirkham Priory area, we ask you please make them aware of this appeal."
Anyone with information should phone the force control room on 01904 618691.
Mark Anthony Thompson, 36, of Hospital Fields Road off Fulford Road in York, is due to stand trial in April.

Maddon encouraged by conversation with Torre
Executive vice president of baseball operations will make decision on protest
TORONTO -- Rays manager Joe Maddon has an "adequate amount of hope" that his team's protest of Saturday's game -- a 5-4 extra-inning loss -- will be upheld after having a brief conversation with executive vice president of baseball operations Joe Torre.
The two talked for five minutes prior to Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays, and Maddon was pleased to hear that Torre feels the protest is valid. Maddon now has to submit an email based on everything that happened from his perspective and he said Torre will look more diligently into that matter Monday and make a decision from there.
Although protests aren't typically upheld -- it has happened twice since 1986 -- Maddon believes the rules in place give his team a chance to get the game replayed from the fourth inning, which is when the incident in question occurred.
"Any time you get with Joe, it's always fair and you will be listened to," Maddon said. "You can't ask for anything more than that. I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say."
The protest came as a result of a replay challenge during the fourth inning of Saturday's game. The Blue Jays challenged a call on a pickoff play at first base, but Maddon contends the next "play" had occurred -- making it too late for a challenge -- because the pitcher had toed the rubber and the next batter had entered the batter's box.
There is, however, some nuance to the rule, Maddon said. What he was likely referring to is language found later in the same section (II.D), which states: "The Crew Chief shall have the final authority to determine whether a Manager's Challenge is timely. The judgment of the Crew Chief regarding the timeliness of a Manager's Challenge shall be final and binding on both Clubs, and shall not be reviewable by Replay Review or otherwise."
Maddon was told Saturday by crew chief Bob Davidson that the play could not be protested because it had to do with replay. In Maddon's opinion, however, the protest has nothing to do with replay -- that's not what he protested -- and everything to do with getting to replay. Torre confirmed that is a situation where a protest is valid.
"It's two separate issues," Maddon explained. "The one part that there is no nuance, whatsoever, almost like the heart and soul or crux of the system, is pitcher on the rubber, batter in the box precludes anything else from happening. You can't do anything else at that moment, that was the locking mechanism.
"That was emphatically described to us as being the locking mechanism in all the meetings. So it should be everything after that should not have occurred. … It's tantamount to inadmissible evidence. It's no different than in a courtroom situation when information is gotten illegally or inappropriately that you can't utilize it. Otherwise, let's take the rule out and put it in the garbage can."
Davidson believes that Blue Jays manager John Gibbons challenged just in time, but it will ultimately be Torre who has the final say.

A Solano County Superior Court judge on Friday set a February hearing date in the case of a Vacaville man who suffered a fatal beating during what witnesses said was his attempt to stop a fight on July 4.
Appearing briefly in court was the suspect, Anthony J. Ruiz, 32, who is charged with voluntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 20-year-old Tyler Grande. Grande was reported to have been at a Garden Street party when a fight broke out. However, as he stepped in, he was punched from behind and knocked to the ground, suffering a traumatic brain injury, according to police.
Police said they found Grande lying unconscious in the street.
Rushed by air ambulance to the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento, Grande was taken off of life support 10 days later.
Judge Wendy G. Getty set 10 a.m. on Feb. 4 for a preliminary hearing. Ruiz has pleaded not guilty to the voluntary manslaughter charge, as well as an unrelated charge alleging felony possession of hydrocodone.
He was ordered back to court at 9 a.m. on Jan. 25 for a readiness conference.
Ruiz had been released from custody upon posting $175,000 bond when Vacaville police arrested him in September on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving without a license. He has since pleaded not guilty to the pair of misdemeanors, which trail the felony charges.
Ruiz remains free upon posting $280,000 bond.

ESPN picked a good one for their weekly Wednesday night NBA showcase. Stephen Curry vs. John Wall, two of the best point guards in the league. It was a very high scoring, up-tempo game, with the final score 134-121. And the stars did not disappoint.
Curry started out on fire, scoring 25 points in the first quarter and 36 in the first half. He cooled down a little bit, but still knocked down 11 of his 16 three point attempts, en route to 51 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. Wow. Just like his Charlotte buddy Cam Newton, can they crown him MVP already?
John Wall was doing his best to cover Curry, but it's a difficult job, even for a strong defender like Wall. Since he couldn't stop him, Wall tried to match him offensively, finishing with 41 points, 10 assists, and 3 rebounds. He even knocked down all 3 of his three-point attempts, a facet of his game that is nowhere near the level of Curry. It was nice to watch two point guards with very different styles of game dominate the box score.
Oh, and lost in this point guard matchup was that Draymond Green got his league leading 10th triple-double with 12 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds. He even added 5 blocks as a point forward!
As a Wizards fan, I figured that the Warriors would win the game, but was happy to see the Wizards play the defending NBA champions close for stretches of the game. Now onto the other nightly notables:Please, blog, may I have some more?

I personally had a coach 5 years ago for one season and although I was not ready to continue with a structured coaching plan in the years that followed, I took the knowledge and experience from that time and was able to guide myself for the next several seasons. I often ask other elite riders about their training plans and for helpful hints and suggested workouts to improve any areas I may struggle with. This past Spring I started working with a new coach, finally feeling ready for some new guidance with my training.
When I first started racing cross, I found a nearby playground to practice in. I live in the Metro Boston area, which is about 6 miles from the city and about another 6 miles in the other direction to the real suburbs. There are limited parks that will allow cross practice and lots of dogs to be careful of. The best thing to do is go on "exploring rides" on your easy days and scope out local grassy areas, wooded trails and alternatives like corporate parks. You may need to try various times of the day if your schedule is flexible and see when the areas are mostly empty for your use.

Narveson set to make return from surgery
PHOENIX -- Brewers left-hander Chris Narveson will cross another threshold in his comeback on Wednesday when he starts against the Royals at Surprise Stadium, his first outing since undergoing shoulder surgery last May.
Narveson had surgery May 1 to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff and missed the rest of the season. He was throwing bullpen sessions before the end of the Brewers' season and has been a full participant in Spring Training camp.
"I'm more excited to see where he is in three or four outings, if he's getting his stuff locked in and whether he can be that guy that he was," manager Ron Roenicke said.
Narveson is scheduled for about two innings, Roenicke said.

And I swore that was all the complaining I would do. I lied.I was on a rant about homeowners abusing landscapers and other gardening professionals. Several friends commented and said that while they agree with the things I said about treating landscapers with respect, they believe there is another side to the coin."When I recently called a landscaper and asked for an estimate, he acted like I was asking for the moon," one friend said. "He couldn't give me anything in writing, and when I questioned what all he would do for me, he was offended."When I redid my kitchen last year, the kitchen designer and I worked together to find a plan that suited my needs and that was within my budget."Another friend said she is always frustrated when she calls around at the beginning of the summer to find someone to do her weekly grass cutting and maintenance. She said she often has to leave multiple messages, and she's irritated when her calls are not returned. Also, since many lawn-care folks work out of their homes, the person answering the phone often isn't able to answer questions about the services available.The moral of this story is that both sides are right -- and wrong. The key is for both sides to be professional and to be straightforward with their expectations.Lasagna gardenProbably the most-asked question I get: "How do you do a lasagna garden?" I've written about this no-dig, no-till organic gardening method before. It results in rich soil with very little work. The word "lasagna" refers to the layers of organic material that "cook down" over time. It's also called sheet composting.Fall is the perfect time to create a lasagna bed. There's lots of organic materials available as you do your fall yard and garden cleanup, and you can let it sit and break down all winter. Next spring, when it's time to plant, just dig down into the bed like you would with any other garden. Here's what you can use in your layers:Grass clippingsLeaves Fruit and vegetable scraps Coffee groundsTea leaves and tea bagsWeeds (if they haven't gone to seed) ManureCompostSeaweedShredded newspaper or junk mailPine needlesSpent blooms, trimmings from the gardenPeat mossYou must alternate layers of "browns" (fallen leaves, shredded newspaper, peat, pine needles) with layers of "greens" (vegetable scraps, garden trimmings, grass clippings). Brown layers should be twice as deep as green layers. At the end, you should have about two feet of "stuff." It will shrink quickly.This garden will have better water retention, less weeds, less need for fertilizer and great soil. And it's easy.

The Southern California Woodies (aka So Cal Woodies), a chapter of the National Woodie Club, hosted another edition of the popular annual event, Doheny Wood. It was once again held at the (you guessed it) Doheny State Beach Park in Dana Point, California. This year's get-together was another single-day event. We're not sure how many years this outstanding "woodie only" event has been held by the So Cal Woodies, but it has to be more thana decade as we've attended at least eight years in a row.
The show is limited to wooden-bodied station wagons, convertibles, shooting brakes (English term for wood-bodied wagond), depot hacks and phantom woodies, and any other creation as long as its body encompasses some type of wooden body panel, door, or side body trim. Even so, plenty of enthusiasts with hot rods or customs attend, parking just outside of the woodie parking area-or avoid paying the state beach parking fee (like us!) and land their rides alongside the sidewalk next to Pacific Coast Highway. The show generally draws around 200 vehicles and is a great place to see a variety of stock, restified, and modified woodies, along with interesting beach/woodie/surf culture vendors. If you like what you see and want to check it out next year, more information can be attained by contacting the club website at www.socalwoodies.com/doheny.htm or the National Woodie Club at www.nationalwoodieclub.com.

I am a beginner Buddhist and I have a question on Ahimsa ( Ahiṃsā ) in as far as it relates to kindness to animals. It is quite possible to quit meat eating [ though I personally consider poultry eggs vegetarian fare; they are unfertilized eggs ].
But what about medicines. Even the simplest OTC medicines Advil [ ibuprofen ], Tylenol [ paracetamol ], Lasix [ furosemide ] were marketed after experimenting on animals. All of these names are 40 - 50 years old. Newer medicines being more complex are more tested on rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, chimpanzees. This kills the animals or at end of the experiment set the animals are killed to make way for fresh batch of animals for new experiment set. Thousands and thousands of animals are killed this way in great deal of pain.
Should a Buddhist take medicines ? What are the alternatives [ please no suggestion of homeopathy; it is fraud; I am a Buddhist but I also have great inclination towards science and homeopathy is fraud ]
If I have chicken pox and I take a medication standard for last few years acyclovir for which I am sure several hundred chimpanzees suffered terribly am I not guilty of causing harm. If I do not take it and take two months to be cured at normal rate I will lose my job.
How to answer these ethical questions - specially the one's on animal cruelty which are so complex.

The clubhouse restaurant at San Clemente Municipal Golf Course has new owners, a new name and possibly a new niche – weddings.
The restaurant – known as Irons in the Fire since it opened in 2007 as part of the then-new golf course clubhouse – now is called Pride of the Pacific, a longtime nickname for San Clemente's 18-hole municipal course.
The City Council last year approved an agreement with Z Golf/Wedgewood Banquets to be the new concessionaire after the restaurant's first operator, Dave Donaldson, relinquished the lease while facing financial troubles. Wedgewood has begun marketing the restaurant and its banquet facility for weddings and has identified a grassy site next to the chip-and-putt practice area where weddings can be held.
San Clemente's Golf Course Committee last week supported the concept on a 6-0 vote, with the understanding that a configuration shown to the committee will be reoriented to face farther to the northwest to minimize effects on the chip-and-put area. The proposal is set to go to the City Council at its meeting Tuesday.
In December, the Golf Course Committee voted to "vehemently oppose" any permanent wedding facility near the chip-and-putt green. But on March 7, it gave conditional approval after being told that a wedding site is required in the lease.
Wedgewood representatives told the committee that 85 people had already put down deposits for weddings, which could attract up to 250 people. Most weddings would be between May and October, generally lasting 15 to 30 minutes.
Z Golf/Wedgewood has food and beverage concessions at golf courses around California and is experienced in hosting weddings and wedding-party banquets, said golf course manager Gus Nelson. As part of the lease for the restaurant, the city agreed to allow development of a permanent wedding site at a mutually agreed location.
In a memo, Nelson said city staff recognizes that some golfers may see it as an intrusion. But, he said, "fixed wedding sites are a typical component of a modern golf facility. The financial considerations of a successful clubhouse operation also cannot be overlooked. The majority of the golf community fought very hard to see the new clubhouse facility constructed, despite the financial concerns of staff."
When Irons in the Fire failed, the golf course had to pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars in operating costs, Nelson said. "It is critical to the ongoing operation of the golf course that the clubhouse operator be successful," he said. "Banquets and, more specifically, banquets driven by weddings are a key component to their success.
"After examining all options, staff concluded that the chip-and-putt area was still the most logical area to create a permanent wedding site."

Black Friday More Than Shopping for Many [AUDIO]
Every Black Friday, the infamous shopping day after Thanksgiving, is a madhouse that we cannot seem to get enough of.
Waking up early, braving the traffic and crowds, only to fight for the remaining few "sale" items does not seem to deter many shoppers, and there could be reasons beyond the desire to snag a flat screen for a hundred dollars.
Rutgers Sociologist Dr. Deborah Carr said there is an undeniable social aspect to it.
"Not just between the shoppers, who are sometimes waiting on line and forming friendships, but you also hear about some family members, who weave it into their holiday tradition," Carr explained.
Since Black Friday has become a staple for so many years, Carr said it becomes a yearly routine for family and friends that's just as much about spending time together as it is shopping.
"They know they and their mom are going to go every year to Wal-Mart at 7 a.m. to buy some toy that they wanted to buy," she said.
While the crowds, traffic, and hassle can be seen as a deterrent for most people, a portion of shoppers see it as part of the appeal.
"I think some people actually enjoy the thrill of the search. The search for the rare item, the search for the discount product, or even that rush that someone gets from getting to the store early and beating out the crowd," said Carr.
It doesn't even have to be an item we particularly even need, Carr said something like Black Friday appeals to our consumer culture.
"Not just in the United States, but in other Western wealthy countries, where we buy things not because we need them, but because we want them," she said, "and there's social pressure to have the next bell and whistle."
Ultimately, she said it's just something to do for people who have the day off.
"You see advertisements everywhere. It's kind of an easy way to fill in the day, especially for those who enjoy shopping and acquiring things."

Exploding into the musical stratosphere in 2007, Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald was a breath of fresh air, standing out from the crowd as a self-taught prodigy with a powerful voice. With her honest songs, she has sung herself into the hearts of her fans and earned 25 platinum and gold discs in 17 countries.
In her recent album, Life in a Beautiful Light, two of the songs were inspired by football. FIFA.com had the chance to talk to Macdonald about her love of the sport and appearance at the FIFA FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala.
FIFA.com: Amy, you are known to be a big football fan. Where does your passion for football come from?
It stared when I was at school. I got really into the first World Cup I remember, which was France '98. It was the last time Scotland was in a major tournament. This is when it started I really loved watching it. I got really excited back then and that was it for me. I was just completely in love with football and have been ever since.
On your most recent album, Life in a Beautiful Light, you dedicated the song The Green and the Blue to football. What do you associate with the Old Firm derby?
I come from Glasgow and being from Glasgow everyone knows about Celtic and Rangers. It is a big part of most people's lives. I always got very excited by it. I support Rangers and every time an Old Firm match comes up people will talk about it and look forward to it. It does also bring people together. That was what I was trying to pick up on in the song The Green and the Blue.
How would you describe the atmosphere at an Old Firm game?
Like nothing else. It is the most incredible atmosphere I have ever experienced at a football match. Sometimes it can be a bit scary, because there are some crazy people there (laughs). But most people are there for the football thankfully, and it is very good to be part of.
It stared when I was at school. I got really into the first World Cup I remember, which was France '98. That was it for me. I was just completely in love with football and have been ever since.
You mentioned that you are a Rangers fan. What's your prediction for them this season? How do you think Rangers being relegated to the Scottish Third Division has changed the club?
It has been really difficult. The whole year 2012 wasn't great for the club and the fans. We had to start again at the very bottom division, and we seem to be doing ok. I am looking forward to the summer and hopefully we get promoted to the Second Division. But it has brought all the fans together. There is a new sense of unity and even in the Third Division they regularly get attendances of close to 50,000. For me that is amazing.
What is your favourite football memory?
My favourite football memory is the opening match of France '98, and unfortunately Scotland had drawn Brazil. We thought that we would get absolutely slaughtered but we stuck in there. We were losing 1-0 and then we got a penalty, and I remember that my sister had to get out of the room. She couldn't bear to watch. I sat in there peeping through my fingers. We scored the penalty and I could not believe it. Unfortunately, we scored an own-goal 15 minutes from the end and we lost 2-1. Technically we scored more goals than Brazil though (laughs).
You will play in front of the best footballers in the world at the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala. Will it be special for you?
Tonight definitely feels special. I am such a massive football fan, so I feel like I will be singing for the most important people in the world. In my band we are all huge football fans. We are really, really excited. It definitely feels like something totally different from what I am used to, and I feel honoured to be here.
The best female players will be honoured today as well. What is your opinion of women's football?
I think it is amazing that the females are getting honoured too. There are some amazing women's football teams out there and it is good that they are being recognised. I was always terrible at football, so I am a little bit envious of their amazing skills.
What do music and football have in common?
I am not sure what they have directly in common. Both are things that most people are really passionate about. A lot of people absolutely love football and music. It is very good that these two can combine, especially for me because I love both. I am really happy that I am able to come here and perform with my music, but also to be part of an amazing football event at the same time.
If you had to compare the worlds of music and football, what would be the equivalent of the FIFA World Cup Final in the world of music?
That would be probably something like winning a Grammy or maybe doing the half-time performance at the Super Bowl. That is a big thing that everyone wants to do.

BWW Flashback: A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICAL! Closes on Broadway Today
Christmas Story, The Musical! arrived on Broadway at The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre just in time for the 2012 holiday season. The new musical, based on the 1983 movie perennial, began November 7, opened November 19, and runs through today, December 30, 2012. BroadwayWorld takes you on a flashback through the new musical's beginning on Broadway with photos and video below!Johnny Rabe stars as Ralphie, John Bolton (Spamalot, Contact, Titanic, "Boardwalk Empire," "Gossip Girl') reprises his acclaimed performance as The Old Man from the 2011 National Tour. Joining Bolton are Tony Award nominee Erin Dilly (Nice Work if You Can Get It, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Mother, Zac Ballard (Oliver! at Irish Repertory Theatre) as little brother Randy, Caroline O'Connor (Chicago, Moulin Rouge) as school teacher Miss Shields, and Eddie Korbich (The Little Mermaid, The Drowsy Chaperone, Wicked) as Santa Claus. All join Dan Lauria (Broadway's Lombardi, TV's "Sullivan & Son" and "The Wonder Years") as Jean Shepherd.
The ensemble for the Broadway engagement features Tia Altinay, John Babbo, Charissa Bertels, Grace Capeless, Zoe Considine, Andrew Cristi, Mathew deGuzman, Thay Flloyd, George Franklin, Nick Gaswirth, Mark Ledbetter, Jose Luaces, Jack Mastrianni, Mara Newbery, Lindsay O'Neil, Sarah Min-Kyung Park, J.D. Rodriguez, Analise Scarpaci, Lara Seibert, Jeremy Shinder, Luke Spring, Beatrice Tulchin, and Kirsten Wyatt.
The musical features a bright holiday score by composer/lyricist team Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a book by Joseph Robinette based on the writings of radio humorist Jean Shepherd and the 1983 holiday film favorite. Tony Award winner John Rando (Urinetown) directs the production with Warren Carlyle (Chaplin, Follies, An Evening With Hugh Jackman) choreographing.
A Christmas Story, The Musical! features scenic design by Walt Spangler; costume design by Elizabeth Hope Clancy; lighting design by Howell Binkley; sound design by Ken Travis; wig design by Tom Watson; orchestrations by Larry Blank; music direction and supervision by Ian Eisendrath; dance music arrangements by Glen Kelly; and vocal arrangements by Justin Paul.
In 1940's Indiana, a bespectacled boy named Ralphie has a big imagination and one wish for Christmas-a Red Ryder BB Gun. A kooky leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a cranky department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas dream. Co-produced by the film's original Ralphie, Peter Billingsley, A Christmas Story, The Musical! is holiday entertainment that captures a simpler time in America with delicious wit and a heart of gold.
On November 8th, 2011, A Christmas Story, The Musical! launched its pre-Broadway National Tour at The Hershey Theatre in Hershey, PA. The five-city National Tour went on to play engagements in Detroit, MI, Raleigh, NC, Tampa, FL and Chicago, IL. Scroll down for photos from the tour!
Following a nationwide search, producers of the musical announced that 12-year-old Johnny Rabe would don Ralphie's trademark spectacles for the show's Broadway holiday engagement at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Rabe made his Broadway debut in the role. Below, watch BroadwayWorld's first interviews with the new cast, plus a performance preview.
A Christmas Story, The Musical! pushed back its previews to November 7 due to Hurricane Sandy, and opened on Broadway on November 19. Scroll down for first-look production photos and BroadwayWorld's coverage of the opening night curtain call and party!
BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge was there for the musical's big opening on Broadway last month, and, below, you can check out interviews with the cast and creative team following the curtain!
The company of A Christmas Story also celebrated their opening with the Gypsy Robe ritual. The company's recipient was Kirsten Wyatt, and BroadwayWorld was on hand for the event!
Happy holidays!

2003 Distinguished Service Award Recipients Announced
JUNE 20, 2003 - Muskingum College grants three Distinguished Service Awards to alumni Three Muskingum College alumni, Dr. Carol Williamson Kinsley, Dr. J. Stark Thompson and Honorable Howard S. Zwelling, have received the college's highest alumni honor, the Distinguished Service Award. The three received the honor at the alumni banquet held as a part of the college's Alumni Weekend festivities, held June 20-22 on the campus.
The highlight of Alumni Weekend festivities since 1972, the Distinguished Service Award celebrates Muskingum's enduring values of service and leadership. Each year, Muskingum alumni nominate those who have a made a qualitative difference through their exemplary service to humankind and through their professional endeavors. Any living Muskingum graduate or former student is eligible.
Dr. Carol Williamson Kinsley
Following her graduation from Muskingum College in 1959, Dr. Kinsley embarked on a career as an educator that would last for more than 30 years. She began as a teacher in the Grove City, Pennsylvania public schools, but her work ultimately would reach far beyond that Pennsylvania town.
As an administrator with the Springfield (Massachusetts) Public Schools, Dr. Kinsley developed and implemented a process to integrate service into the curriculum. Following this, she worked at the community and state levels as an advocate for service learning. From the Springfield Community Service Learning Center, which she founded, Dr. Kinsley rose to a position of leadership on behalf of service learning throughout Massachusetts, New England, and the nation.
In 1994, the sum of her work resulted in a presidential appointment to the board of Directors of the Corporation for National Service, through which she continues to bring her unique insights and energy to crucial national policy issues in the youth service field. She now serves on the board of directors of the National Service Learning Partnership.
Dr. J. Stark Thompson
Following his graduation with a degree in chemistry from Muskingum College in 1963, Dr. Thompson obtained a master's degree and a doctoral degree in physiological chemistry from The Ohio State University. As a graduate student, Dr. Thompson formally characterized a previously unknown enzyme within the human liver-L-Alanine:Glyoxylate Aminotransgerase-and showed how the enzyme was related to oxalosis. In 1968, Dr. Thompson joined E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. Over his 21-year career with du Pont, Dr. Thompson headed strategic sales and marketing initiatives (both in the United States and Europe), held leadership positions over diagnostics, biotechnology, and healthcare business planning operations, and served as Division Director for the Instrument Systems Division and Business Director for the Clinical Systems Division.
In 1988, Dr. Thompson assumed the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Life Technologies-an international biotechnology corporation. Under his leadership, Life Technologies expanded significantly, becoming the largest developer, manufacturer and seller-worldwide-of products used for life sciences research and biotechnology.
Employee policies created by Dr. Thompson placed Life Technologies in Fortune magazine as one of the top 100 companies to work for. In 2000, Working Mother honored Life Technologies as one of America's top 10 companies.
Today, he serves on the Muskingum College Board of Trustees, as well as numerous corporate boards. He is Chair of the Board of Visitors of Ohio State University's College of Biological Sciences.
The Honorable Howard S. Zwelling
Following his graduation from Muskingum College in 1959, Judge Zwelling earned his juris doctorate from Ohio Northern University. He practiced law for 22 years in Zanesville, Ohio, concentrating his work in the civil and criminal arenas. His practice extended to include work within 28 counties in Ohio. In 1983, Judge Zwelling was elected to the bench as Municipal Court judge. In 1999, Judge Zwelling was elected to the Court of Common Pleas in Muskingum County, where he presides over all civil and criminal matters.
In 1989, the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court appointed Judge Zwelling to the Supreme Court of Ohio Committee on Dispute Resolution. In response, the committee created the Circuit Rider Mediation Program-a program that enabled municipal and county courts to utilize volunteer mediators in the resolution of small claims disputes.
In 1993, Judge Zwelling obtained a grant to institute mediation programs in the cities of Zanesville, Cambridge, Lancaster and Marietta for which these cities have received national praise.
Judge Zwelling also established a successful peer mediation system in the Zanesville City Schools. This program brought volunteers into 3rd - 12th grade classrooms to teach the children how to mediate their disputes and reduce the incidences of violence.
Judge Zwelling is a past president of the Ohio Association of Municipal and County Judges and the Muskingum County Bar Association. In 2002, he was named Zanesville Sertoman of the Year. In addition to his work in Ohio, Judge Zwelling is a licensed mediator in North Carolina and Florida.
