Billie Dawn is the quintessential not-so-dumb blonde, an ex-chorus cutie who through hard work and a good heart upends the bad guys and helps uphold the honor of honest government.
No wonder audiences love this woman, the heroine of "Born Yesterday," Garson Kanin's sturdy 1946 comedy now getting a superlative revival at the Shaw Festival 2009. Billie drives the play, and the Shaw Festival is fortunate in having Deborah Hay, now in her third season as a Shaw regular, portray Billie.
The actress is a worthy successor to Broadway's original Billie, the legendary Judy Holliday, who won an Oscar when she repeated her stage success for the movies. Both actresses possess the necessary ingredients to make Billie endearing – superb comic timing, vulnerability and a poignancy that lifts Billie from coarse cartoon to real person.
Billie, of course, is the live-in girlfriend of an Ohio junk dealer who has arrived in post World War II Washington to buy a few favors from political types. She's a kept woman in the literal sense of the word. An unlimited expense account keeps her in furs and in her place.
But she's missing the cultural refinement to hobnob with Washington society, and her benefactor hires a reporter from the New Republic to teach her refinement. And along the way, learn what the essence of good citizenship is all about.
Kanin apparently first thought of "Born Yesterday" as a movie, and director Gina Wilkinson has picked up on that idea. She has staged the play at Shaw's large Festival Theatre in a fluid, cinematic style – with the action taking place in a lavish hotel suite with a view of the Capitol no less.
"Born Yesterday" is a love triangle, too, involving Billie, her paramour and the reporter. To work, all three roles need to be played with conviction. Thom Marriott nails the amoral business tycoon. He can't be a glorified scamp, and Marriott brings a brutish thuggery to the part that makes his abuse of Billie all the more real – and disturbing.
Yet they have a symbiotic relationship, one that is brilliantly displayed in the hilarious gin rummy scene where Billie skunks her keeper every time.
Gray Powell handles the "good guy" reporter role with aplomb, and there is fine support from Patrick Galligan as a dissolute, morally conflicted lawyer and Lorne Kennedy as a senator on the take. But Billie triumphs over all of them. Call it theatrical democracy in action.
The Shaw Festival wouldn't be Shaw without a nod to its namesake. One of its two offerings from the master this year is "The Devil's Disciple," set during the American Revolutionary War. "Disciple" is the playwright's most melodramatic comedy, awash in plot and the anomalies Shaw loved so well.
Its title character, the aptly named Dick Dudgeon, is played with robust charm by Evan Buliung. The family black sheep, he turns out to be the most moral of the lot, willing to sacrifice his life for what he believes. And a man of the cloth, portrayed by the resolutely earnest Peter Krantz, trades the pulpit for a life with pistols, a budding revolutionary.
Yet it's British General Burgoyne, played by Jim Mezon, who gets the best of both of them – especially in the quip department. His astute observations on war, peace and all points in between, smack of witty, Shavian common sense, and Mezon delivers them in high style.
Director Tadeusz Bradecki's production is straightforward and clear. But the dark, wooden setting gives it an extra gloss of gloom. That atmosphere saps some of the vitality from the evening despite the play's steady supply of spirited, often contentious (after all, it's Shaw) dialogue.
Far more lively – and colorful – is the festival's major musical revival: "Sunday in the Park with George," the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical about French painter Georges Seurat.
The production looks a little crowded on the small Royal George Theatre stage, but the large cast moves smoothly through the story, dealing, in the first act, with the creation of Seurat's masterpiece, "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte."
Steven Sutcliffe makes a perfect, work-obsessed Georges in Act 1. After intermission, he is equally convincing as the painter's agitated American grandson George, a man stymied by own dead-end art career. Not far behind is Julie Martell, properly exasperated as Seurat's neglected mistress in the first act and, Marie, George's admonishing grandmother in Act 2.
"Sunday" is Sondheim's most personal, emotional show. Its themes can be found most succinctly in the song "Children and Art," the two things that matter most, according to Sondheim and Lapine. And Martell handles it with heartbreaking sweetness.
Shaw also celebrates French-Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay this season with a new translation by Linda Gaboriau of his "Albertine in Five Times," written some 25 years ago. In it, five actresses play Albertine at pivotal moments in the woman's life, from age 30 to 70.
"Albertine" is a 90-minute catalog of memories, both good and bad, and perfect for Shaw's small Court House Theatre. The play is also an excellent way to showcase a quintet of performers, particularly the majestic Patricia Hamilton. The actress portrays Albertine at age 70 as she enters a retirement home. The oldest Albertine possesses a hard-earned, unsentimental wisdom that comes from hindsight – a hindsight that is absolutely fascinating to watch as she converses with her former selves.
The Court House also is the setting for a pale, unsatisfying revival of Eugene O'Neill's "A Moon for the Misbegotten." The play gets away from its three lead actors, each unable to get a handle on a work that is one of O'Neill's most monumental – right up there with "Long Day's Journey into Night."
It's fiercely poetic and unbearably sad, but those qualities are not tapped in this production. Jenny Young doesn't possess the physical presence or emotional heft to capture lonely, love-starved Josie Hogan, and David Jansen seems unable to plumb the depths of self-disgust that envelop her alcoholic landlord. Their performances throws the play out of synch, leaving Jim Mezon, as Josie's blustery, biluous father, to wrong-headedly steal the play.
For those planning a Shaw visit: "A Moon for the Misbegotten" ends its run Oct. 9; "Albertine in Five Times" closes Oct. 10, and "The Devil's Disciple" finishes Oct. 11. "Born Yesterday" and "Sunday in the Park with George" both close Nov. 1. All the productions are running in repertory and may not be performed every night.

A family from suburban Washington D.C. has filed a wrongful death suit against the Chicago-based makers of Four Loko, an alcoholic energy drink, after their 15-year-old son allegedly died after consuming two cans.
The Rupp family said the their son, John "Bo", drank the concoction while at a concert on Sept 26th 2010. and began acting erratically. Concert staff called the family to pick him up. When they got him to their home, he took off running.
He went onto a busy road and was struck and killed.The Rupps filed their suit against Phusion Projects, the makers of Four Loko, in Cook County Circuit Court. They said they want to raise awareness about the beverage, often referred to as "blackout in a can," as prom and graduate season arrives.
The suit alleges Phusion was "careless and negligent" in formulating this alcohol caffeine mixed beverage
The Chicago law firm of Cooney and Conway is serving as co-counsel to the Rupps.
Four Loko quickly earned a reputation as a dangerous beverage. This year Chicago's city council followed the lead of other cities and states and outlawed its sale in Chicago limits. The Food and Drug issued a health warning about the beverage in November 2010.
Four Loko released the following statement.
We are extremely saddened by this tragedy and our thoughts are with the Rupp family. This accident, and others like it, speak to the serious, societal concerns regarding the misuse of alcohol – alcohol abuse and underage drinking are problems we would all like to see discussed and solved.
We work very hard to ensure our products are consumed safely and responsibly by adults over the age of 21, and we have a vested interest – both personal and professional – in assuring the continued responsible consumption of our products. We are staunch supporters of the need for increased education, stronger enforcement of existing laws and personal responsibility. Those that sell or provide alcohol to minors should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
In November 2010, we voluntarily reformulated all of our products and have since produced only versions of Four Loko that do not contain caffeine, guarana, or taurine. Please find the press release here with more information about the reformulation.
We are in the process of reviewing the complaint. It is important to remember that because a complaint is filed, doesn't mean the allegations in it have merit. We plan to defend this case in the courts rather than in the press, and we will do so vigorously.

Goal judges will need to wake up and dust off that seldom-used button.
The Calgary Hitmen are going to score some goals this year.
And they'll need to.
The Justin Pogge era is over. Named the top goaltender in all of junior hockey last season, the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect who re-wrote the Hitmen record book has moved on to the pro ranks.
Gone, too, are twin towers Brett Carson and Jeff Schultz, who logged nearly 30 minutes a game on the blueline during last spring's playoffs.
The 2006-07 Hitmen will have a new starter between the pipes -- likely two-year backup Daniel Spence -- and several new faces on the back end.
But the forward ranks haven't been this deep in years, said GM/head coach Kelly Kisio.
"Hopefully, we won't have to win the 2-1 and 3-2 games this year," Kisio said prior to rookie camp kicking off this morning.
"We should be able to bust loose a little more often this year.
"The guys are a year older and they're stronger so I think we'll score our share of goals."
The club returns four full lines of veteran forwards but Kisio cautioned not all of them are guaranteed to be around when the regular season opens Sept. 22.
"You have to have some turnover all the time," he said. "If you don't bring in any guys this year, you'll be in a tough situation next year.
"There might have to be some changes. We'll see what happens at training camp."
Four overagers will compete for three spots.
Blueliner Dylan Yeo has one sewn up. Returnees Derek LeBlanc and Steve Covington will battle it out with Matt Isbister (younger brother of Boston Bruins forward, Brad), who played the past two seasons in the NCAA with Clarkson University.
New York Rangers prospect Brodie Dupont, 19, will be counted on to lead the charge offensively and he's looking forward to playing more of an up-tempo game.
"I always like to score goals," said Dupont, who scored a team-high 30 markers last season.
"If we can score five goals a game, it's a lot more fun than winning 1-0.
"But you still have to play defence to win in this league."
Swedish winger Freddie Pettersson will also be relied on to provide an offensive spark as will countryman Robin Figren, selected in last spring's CHL import draft.
TOP PICK ABSENT: Rookie camp gets underway this morning with intrasquad games slated for this afternoon at the Don Hartman Northeast Sportsplex.
But the coaching staff will have to wait a while before it gets a look at Brendon Rowinski, the club's top pick (13th overall) in the '05 bantam draft.
Due to a number of injuries, Rowinski played in just 13 games with the AAA midget Winnipeg Thrashers (four goals, 12 points) in '05-06.
He had shoulder surgery Aug. 15 and isn't expected back until at least November.
BRODIE DUPONT -- The third-year winger led the Hitmen with 30 goals last year.
KARL ALZNER -- A third-year blueliner, Alzner is the best of the team's u-20 defenceman and could be an NHL first-rounder.
RYAN WHITE -- The hard-working centre was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens this summer.
BRETT SONNE -- He'll be playing in his second season and can put the puck in the net.
DYLAN YEO -- Playing in his final WHL season, the 20-year-old defenceman should provide plenty of huge hits and some offence.

Kinney to have Tommy John surgery
Kinney to have Tommy John surgery
Kinney first felt discomfort in his elbow after he pitched in St. Louis' Grapefruit League game against the Astros on Monday. He underwent an MRI exam on Tuesday. After analyzing that exam and other information, Cardinals head team physician Dr. George Paletta recommended ligament replacement.
Paletta will perform the surgery in St. Louis on Tuesday. Kinney is expected to miss the entire season following the procedure, commonly known as Tommy John elbow surgery. He should make a full recovery in time for the 2008 season.
"It's a bump in the road, but it's definitely not a blockade for me," Kinney said. "It stinks. I was really looking forward to being a part of the club this year, helping out and continuing to develop as a player, and I'm just going to have to do that in another way now."
Kinney, 27, emerged as one of the biggest surprises -- not to mention one of the best pitchers -- for St. Louis in its run to the World Series championship last year. He posted a 3.24 ERA in 21 regular-season games, then did not permit a run in seven postseason appearances covering 6 1/3 innings.
The right-hander made two appearances for the Cardinals this spring, allowing three runs each time. After pitching on Monday, he felt his elbow "locking up," experiencing a limited range of motion. The concern led Kinney to check with the Cardinals medical staff.
"It felt like a muscle cramp," Kinney said. "I didn't feel a single thing when I pitched. I sat down [after pitching] and I had my arms crossed, and I watched us and we went three up three down. And I got up to get a drink, and my arm stopped."
Acting on that information, the club called for an MRI on Kinney's elbow. The exam revealed a significant tear in the ligament. Kinney also sustained a severe strain of the flexor tendon in his elbow, but that condition is considered secondary and should heal with rest.

"Based on his exam, based on how the MRI scan looks and based on how he's feeling, we spent a lot of time debating, but it looks like the best option for him is probably going to be to consider reconstructing this," said Paletta.
"I've spoken to a couple other baseball [doctors] to discuss the case with them as well, and the consensus seems to be that [surgery] is the best recommendation, and that's the recommendation I've made for Josh."
Paletta characterized the injury as more gradual than traumatic. The tear of the ligament apparently occurred in steps over time, rather than in one sudden moment.
"This is not a one-pitch, sudden pop of the ligament," he said. "This is more what we call an attritional tear, where the ligament likely failed gradually over time, over the course of the last 18 months, and finally reached the point where he can't compensate for it."
The injury to Kinney furthers the questions in the Cardinals bullpen. Two key relievers from 2006, Braden Looper and Adam Wainwright, have been moved to starting jobs, which had left Kinney projected as the primary late-inning right-handed setup man. Jason Isringhausen is progressing well in his rehabilitation from last year's hip surgery, but he has yet to pitch in a game this spring.
Although St. Louis has considerable depth in its relief corps, the loss of Kinney removes the only consistent right-handed strikeout threat other than Isringhausen. The question of who will set up the closer is now wide open.

Lord, we are a weak people. We are susceptible to disease and sickness. As we grow old, our bodies begin to slow down, ache, and decay. We cannot enjoy youth forever. Death can strike us suddenly. Disease can waste us away. Providence can come at us hard. Lord, we need strength. We also need wisdom. We need to understand why. Why me? Why me O Lord? We pray for wisdom. You promised that if we ask without doubting that we will be given the wisdom to understand our lot in life. We can find contentment in our suffering - no Lord, we can even find joy in our suffering. When we see the benefits of trials, then we can find something good. And when we find something good that will come from it all, then we can find joy.
Lord, we are a spoiled people. How can we live in such abundance of material blessings and not be spoiled? How can we escape the sins of our own generation? We have so much and yet there is so much discontentment.
Lord, we are a people who do not know how to think as God thinks. We are not well grounded in the principles of Thy Word. The Bible has become a mere story book in most churches. The Bible has become a crutch to help us feel better about ourselves, or to solve our problems so that we might be more happy than we are. Oh, how the deep things of God are missing in our churches. We are a mile wide and an inch deep. Few are the men who have the wisdom to apply the word of God to the issues of the day. Few are the men who have studied hard and long to rise above the fray of the modern mind.
There is so much at our fingers, from the preaching and teaching of the Word, from the great books that have been left to us by godly teachers, and yet we are often absent when we need to be present. We consider ourselves enlightened and do not see that we live in darkness. We have ignored instruction in Thy law for generations and we flounder in a cesspool of ignorance and sin.
Lord, what we do today will have a major impact upon future generations. If we continue in our ways today, our children will rise up and curse us. They will spit on our graves and trample them with their feet. As a generation, we will deserve it. We will leave them a nation moving in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We will leave them a church divided into a thousand parts. We will leave them with the burden of great debt.
Lord, in spite of us, bless our children and our children's children. History shows us that the faith can be lost in two to three generations. Once we dilute the faith, once we compromise the truth, once we become apathetic, we seal the death of generations to come. What are jewels to us, may be considered worthless to them. We have fought the good fight. We have seen reformation. Lord, let it not stop with us.
Lord, bless the preaching of the Word. Bless those in our congregation who have the opportunity to be a witness to the lost and to witness to the lost. Give courage to our people to engage the lost, to call them to faith and repentance, and to pray for them. Lord, give us true conversions. We don't need mere professions of faith. We don't need merely more people sitting in the pew. We desire to see people converted in the sense that there is a revolution in their lives. Everything changes. The old man dies, and a new creature is created in Christ Jesus. Zeal for the Lord becomes a consuming fire. Lord, give us such conversions in these days when religion is so commonplace.
Grant this morning Your blessings upon us as we come to the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Christ's Name we pray. Amen.

Undercover NYPD Detective Arrested for Role in Bikers' Attack on SUV Driver in Manhattan Highway Brawl
A 10-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD) was arrested on Tuesday for his role in the beating of a wealthy executive in front of his family during a wild high-speed brawl along the West Side Highway in Manhattan, N.Y., on Sept. 29 and is expected to face charges in Manhattan Criminal Court Wednesday.
According to a CBS News report, undercover Detective Wojciech Braszczok, 32, surrendered on Tuesday and now faces riot and criminal mischief charges. He is reportedly one of no less than three officers who participated in the controversial fracas that first attracted national attention in a viral video posted on YouTube.
Another biker from the incident, Clint Caldwell, 32, was also arrested Tuesday and charged with gang assault, assault and criminal mischief according to NBC News.
A spokesperson from the New York County District Attorney's Office told The Christian Post that Braszczok is expected to be arraigned around noon on Wednesday and other reports indicate that Caldwell will face the court as well.

"As we said from the beginning of the investigation, the NYPD and the District Attorney's Office are methodically scrutinizing the evidence to build the strongest possible cases in our continuing effort to hold accountable those responsible," Erin Duggan, a spokeswoman for the district attorney noted in the NBC News report.
Braszczok's lawyer, Phil Karasyk, argued on Monday that his client had only witnessed other bikers attacking the vehicle. Investigators have since discovered video evidence, however, showing the veteran officer punching a damaged back window of the SUV that was being driven by Manhattan executive Alexian Lien, 33, with his wife and 2-year-old daughter inside.
Sources in the report say the video also shows the detective kicking the SUV twice before leaving the scene.
Internal affairs investigators from the NYPD began looking into Braszczok because he did not immediately report his presence at the rally but waited three days when the incident had already become a media event.
Karasyk who works with the Detectives' Endowment Association union, said his client did not help the SUV driver because he was aware of cases where undercover officers lost their job or were suspended for blowing their cover so he "had no other option" than to drive away from the scene.
President of the NYPD detectives' union, the Detectives' Endowment Association, Michael Palladino, told NBC News on Monday that the arrested officer was forced to make a difficult decision.
"Compromising his identity could compromise all the work he's doing and his safety as well," said Palladino. "It's very difficult to lead a double life."
Braszczok's past undercover work reportedly includes work within the Occupy Wall Street movement.

WITH Croft Circuit's 50th anniversary rapidly approaching, this weekend's visit of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship promises to provide one of the highlights of the North Yorkshire venue's half-centenary celebrations.
Always a popular stop on the schedule of the country's biggest motorsport championship, this year's round at Croft looks like being even more exciting and well attended than ever.
With the 2014 BTCC calendar reaching its halfway stage, there's still everything to play for in terms of the overall title with just 36 points separating the top four drivers in the rankings.

And with support acts including the Renault UK Clio Cup, Michelin Ginetta GT4 Supercup, Ginetta Junior Championship, Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain and Porsche Carrera Cup GB also scheduled to take place this weekend, the region's motorsport fans are in for a treat as Croft's birthday celebrations hit top gear.
"The 50th anniversary of Croft Autodrome is obviously a big deal for us," said circuit manager Mike Cantelo.
"We're mainly going to be celebrating at our nostalgia weekend in August because that's got a historic angle and it ties in with the date of the first meeting, but the visit of the BTCC is a huge part of our anniversary year. I "It's always the highlight of the year and attracts our biggest crowd. It puts motorsport at the very heart of the region's sporting schedule and will prove once again that the sport is very much alive and kicking here in the North-East."
It should also provide plenty of thrills and spills with 31 cars involved in the three Touring Car races that will take place on Sunday.
With free practice and qualifying scheduled for Saturday, Sunday is the BTCC's race day, and the action promises to be fast and frenetic on what is generally one of the fastest and most demanding circuits on the calendar.
Colin Turkington, BTCC champion in 2009, is nine points clear at the top of the rankings after winning two of three races in the last round at Oulton Park, but Gordon Shedden and Andrew Jordan are well placed to mount a challenge for the title, with local driver Jason Plato also in the thick of things in fourth. "It's going to be fantastic to see 31 cars hurtling around Croft," said Cantelo. "And the fact that there are seven former BTCC champions contending for this year's title also adds a fair bit of spice.
"It's impossible to say who's going to win. It's already shaping up to be a vintage season, and the public are really taking the series to their heart. Every round has posted improved attendances, which just underlines the resurgence in interest in Touring Cars this year. Here at Croft, we're just proud and privileged to be a part of it once more."

The Battle of the Bulge, the largest and bloodiest battle of World War II, began in the Ardennes area in Belgium 67 years ago today.
The town of Bastogne was at the heart of that fight. Through the years, many stories of heroism emerged from Bastogne, but none quite like the one historian Martin King tells of a 4-foot-8 volunteer nurse who was born in the Belgian Congo.
King said to fully understand her story, you must understand the battle. As he drives around Bastogne in a battered Ford minivan, he passed a memorial commemorating Easy Company, 101st Airborne Division — the guys made famous by "Band of Brothers."
Before long, King leaves the van and takes off through the trees. The temperature drops. Cold rain and sleet begin to fall. King said these are the woods where Easy Company dug in back in December 1944. The ground is still marked by deep craters.
"What I find remarkable," King said, "is that 67 years after the fact, you can still quite clearly see the foxholes here."
Originally from Scotland, King has lived and worked in Belgium for thirty years now. He's interviewed countless veterans, and co-authored a book called "Voices of the Bulge."
This was the scene of some of the most ferocious front line action in the Battle of Bulge. But to get the real flavor, he said, you have to imagine two feet of snow, the ground frozen solid and fog so thick you can't see five feet in front of you.
"And the Germans," he notes, "would have been a few hundred yards away."
The German shelling and bombing of Bastogne were horrific. Allied medical supplies and personnel were hard to come by. Some locals volunteered to help as nurses.
In HBO's "Band of Brothers" mini-series, there's a scene set in Bastogne. In it, a white Belgian nurse chats with an Army medic outside an aid station. They're discussing another volunteer, a black nurse.
"Where's she from? The black girl?" asked the medic.
"From the Congo," answered the white nurse.
It turns out that "the black girl from the Congo" is not a fictional character. Her name's Augusta Chiwy, and hers is one of the great untold war stories.
"The Snow! Oh, the Fog!"
"Augusta's story is the most incredible thing I ever heard," King said. "You can take the hero story – he did so much that day, and shot all those people, and he had big guns. But this, to me, had something else. It had a humanity that I'd never come across."
Chiwy was born in 1921 in the Belgian Congo. Her father was a white veterinarian, originally from Bastogne. Her mother was Congolese.
At age nine, her father brought her to live with relatives in Bastogne. Then, at 19, Chiwy went to study nursing in the city of Leuven. In December of 1944, her father invited her home for Christmas.
"The snow, oh, the fog!" Chiwy recalled.
When she arrived in Bastogne, the town was firmly in American hands and the front was miles away. A few days later, though, German advance left Bastogne surrounded. Chiwy and her family stayed in town, hiding in the basement like many other residents.
A few days before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. It was US Army medic Dr. John Prior.
"He told me that he had no one left, that his ambulance driver had been killed," Chiwy said.
Chiwy volunteered as a nurse, working at the makeshift first-aid station in town. When her own clothing became bloody, she donned a U.S. Army uniform. Then, she volunteered for something much more dangerous.
"The Germans Had it Zeroed"
Every fifteen minutes on this day, chimes ring out from the U.S. war memorial that stands on the top of Mardasson Hill outside of Bastogne. The chimes are meant to remind visitors of the sacrifices made by American soldiers. Not 200 yards away from the memorial is a field that was very much the front line.
Chiwy, King said, jumped onto the back of a two-and-a-half ton Army truck with Prior and two litter-bearers. They drove from Bastogne to the spot where the memorial now stands. There, King said, Chiwy risked everything to help the wounded US soldiers.
"She was actually running out into this field," King said. "And the Germans had it zeroed. They were hitting it with 88s, and mortars and heavy machine gun fire. And Augusta tells me that the ground was being raked up around her as she was trying to retrieve the bodies."
There were other hazards besides the intense gunfire, though.
Bastogne had, until recently, been under German occupation.
"If the Germans captured her, they would have shot her immediately as a collaborator," King said.
That Chiwy was black would have made matter worse with the Germans.
"It was an incredible risk," King said.
"We Heard Something Screaming Towards Us"
On Christmas Eve, the aid station where Chiwy was working was hit by a German bomb. More than two dozen U.S. soldiers, and Renee Lamaire, another volunteer nurse, were killed.
The aid station stood not far from Bastogne's main square. It's now a Chinese restaurant. Outside, a plaque commemorates those who died when the aid station was bombed. Lamaire is mentioned, but not Chiwy.
King said some books about the Battle of the Bulge said Chiwy died in the explosion. But the historian didn't buy it, and he went looking for her. A contact in the Belgian army told King Chiwy was still alive. Eventually, King found her living comfortably in a retirement home just outside Brussels.
Slowly, he got her to tell the story of how she survived that bomb blast in Bastogne.
In a documentary made a few years ago, Chiwy remembered the night the aid station was hit. She was sipping champagne with Prior in a building next door.
"So a bottle of champagne was opened, a glass was passed around," Chiwy said on the video. "And I don't remember if he finished filling the glass, but we heard something screaming coming towards us, and then a big bang and all the windows were blown out."
Chiwy was blown through a wall, but survived. After the explosion, she simply got up and started helping Prior tend the wounded. She continued to volunteer until the Germans were pushed back, and the siege of Bastogne ended.
"You Embody What is Best and Most Kind in All of Us"
For years, Chiwy went for long stretches of time without speaking about her experiences. King said today, she'd probably be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. But the more King coaxed out of her, the more he realized Chiwy should be honored for her service.
He wrote letters to the US Army, and to the Belgian King. It has finally paid off. Earlier this year, Chiwy was honored by King Albert II of Belgium.
And this week, the U.S. Army did its part as well. In a ceremony in Brussels, Chiwy was given the U.S. Army's Civilian Award for Humanitarian Service. Colonel J.P. McGee, who commands the "Bastogne Brigade" of the 101st Airborne Division, presented the award to her.
"You embody what is best and most kind in all of us," McGee said. "It is an honor to share the stage with you and to be able to say on behalf of U.S. veterans everywhere — thank you. The number of lives that you touched is incalculable. There are men and women in America who would never have a father or grandfather if you hadn't been there to provide them basic medical care."
During the ceremony, Chiwy smiled, blew kisses and waved to her family in the audience. Afterwards, amid the applause, she said she was happy to be honored, even if it was 70 years after the fact.
"See, I've had a good life. I've got my children, and my grandchildren," she said. "And," she added, pointing to her head, "I've still got my marbles."
"America honors its heroes. It just needs to be reminded sometimes who those heroes are," King said.

Submitted by JEFF S. on 4/12/99. ( )
I am fairly new to the field and am having problems with the thinner areas such as the lips or nose/muzzle area cracking or breaking during shipment to the tannery. any suggestions concerning prep, salting, folding, boxing, choice of carrier,ect. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Jeff, we see that hear in the tannery, working on a batch of caoes right now with about 1/2 of them with cracked lips. The best thing to do is dry them by hanging over a 2x4, or P V C pipe with the head on one side and shoulders on the other. This way, the shoulder area will keep the delicate face area protected. Do not dry your skins stretched out flat, or worse yet, hung from a peg by the nose or back of head. I realize you can pack them in boxes easier this way, but that also means all those thin areas are sticking out in harms way. As far as carriers go, they all like to play football with your packages, so it doesn't really matter. Keith

Dear all,
I installed the latest Intel C++ compiler (13.1.1) on my machine running Ubuntu 13.04. Trying to compile the following simple program:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
I get this error:
/usr/include/c++/4.7/iostream(39): catastrophic error: cannot open source file "bits/c++config.h"
#include <bits/c++config.h>
The missing file is located here /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7/bits/c++config.h Compiling with gcc works just fine.
Is this some kind of incompatibility between the OS and the compiler or just the OS fault?
All the best.

Hank and Snoopy
They are both gorgeous, but I do believe Hank is about the prettiest Basset I've ever seen
Nice picture!! where was Jabroni?
Here is Jabroni:
Aww....such a nice picture. Hank (I think) in front looks so regal!
Which is why I love this picture so much too because Hank is the one with a very nervouse disposition. I'm not sure if you read an older post of mine regarding Hank being of a nervous nature. This picture gives me hope and I must be doing something right (even though I don't really know what it is) with helping him gain confidence.
We need more pics of your bunch. LOTS more pics
I'd forgotten how freaking adorable Jabroni is. You should enter him in some photo contests.
He is....feel free to go in and vote daily......thanks
Search | Modern Dog magazine - the best dog magazine ever
Now, PUT THAT IN YOUR SIG!!!!
I do love bassetts, and yours are beautiful
I don't know how to do that
They are all so adorable! I love their ears.
They are very cute!

'Father of Fitness DVD' Not Slowing Down17 Dec, 2010 By: Angelique Flores
Cal Pozo's successful career as a director, producer and choreographer of numerous fitness titles seems to be a series of flukes.
In the 1970s, the Cuban-born Pozo was a Broadway dancer in New York. After suffering a hip injury, he took over his own rehabilitation after doctors told him his dancing career was finished. He mixed various dancing and exercise disciplines to create his own workout program.
During the 1980s, he tried waiting tables in between dancing jobs.
"I almost set the restaurant on fire," he recalled.
This led him to do personal training instead, using his knowledge of dance exercise and then incorporating the new craze at the time, aerobics.
One of his clients was the wife of the senior editor at Doubleday Publishing, who suggested Pozo write a workout book, after seeing the results on his wife.
"I'll call it Bunnetics," Pozo jokingly told him.
The editor, however, liked the idea, asking him to write a book.
"I wrote a very sarcastic kind of book," Pozo said. "I never intended anyone to take it seriously."
Bunnetics debuted in 1982, becoming a bestseller, and Pozo found himself on the talk show circuit.
"My dad wanted me to be an architect, and now I'm all over the TV with my buns on the air," he said.
After another successful book, someone suggested to Pozo to do a video. Pozo happened to have taken film and video studies at New York University.
"It was a godsend," he said.
And thus, the "father of fitness DVD" shot his first of many videos, Bunnetics. He soon after shot Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes, which spawned the longest-running instructional video dance series ever, he said. But he hated being on camera and moved behind it instead.
Pozo produces, directs, shoots, edits and choreographs, with more 300 productions to his name, many of them bestsellers through his Fitvid Productions.
He is a certified fitness specialist and is credited for introducing Pilates on video with the best-selling "The Method" video series.
Among the fitness icons with which Pozo has worked are Denise Austin, Kathy Smith, Leslie Sansone, Jennifer Kries and Tracey Mallet. He also is behind the DVD workouts for many of Lionsgate's popular workout titles based on television shows and films, such as "Dancing With the Stars," "The Biggest Loser" and "American Gladiators," as well as Dirty Dancing: Official Dance Workout and Fame: The Workout.
"I always know we are in the best hands with Cal as he brings a level of quality, enthusiasm and passion to every area of production," said Kajsa Vikman, VP of home entertainment marketing for Lionsgate. "In addition to focusing on every detail and the ability to anticipate where the camera should be for the next move, he has an amazing understanding of branding and how to adjust each production to fit the particular brand. He is truly a one-stop shop, with an expertise in all areas of production from set design to lighting and choreography."
Those in front of the camera are just as happy to work with Pozo, including Chelsie Hightower of "Dancing With the Stars" and the the "Dancing With the Stars" workout DVDs.
"I came into this experience no knowing what to expect, not having a done a workout DVD before," Hightower said. "Cal immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Cal's enthusiasm and love for his job only motivates you more to do a better and better job."
Now 66 years old, Pozo has no plans to retire any time soon.
"If someday I croak teaching some 21-year-old how to spin, what a happy way to go!" he said.

Free Speech, The Inquisition, Papal Supremacy, Bonnets, Lenny Bruce, Withcraft, Birth Control, Civility, and Other Reflections on the Meaning of Easter
Thanks to George Cothran for staking out a rational position in the recent row between local Catholics and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Such thoughtful analysis regarding this kind of issue is hard to come by in a city where pseudo-progressive political posing is the foundation of political life, and the very raison d'etre of the Board of Supervisors.
William Samuel Tobben
Bernal Heights
Wow, did George Cothran have a bee in his Easter bonnet, or what? To say I was astonished at his rantings and ravings about the now-infamous Easter Day street party in the Castro is an understatement. I didn't realize that under the skin of this journalist beat the heart of a Pat Robertson, or the Pope.
Talk about needing to "let it go." Get over it George, the party went on, the archdiocese had its say, and everyone is ready to move on. I have no intention of responding to any of his theories about the Sisters or Tom Ammiano. The Sisters are guaranteed the right of free speech as much as the archdiocese is guaranteed the right of freedom of religion. Sometimes these two principles clash -- but that's what our country is supposed to be about.
It would have been reprehensible to me if the Board of Supervisors had disallowed the party to go forward. No person, religion, or organization has the right to dictate what is acceptable. We live in a democracy, not a theocracy -- and thank God for that.
As a gay, HIV man, I respect anyone's right to their opinion. I respect George's right to express his views. But I wonder how he'd feel if some religious organization went to his editor and said, "We hate that story, it's offensive, and we want it stopped." I'm sure George would have more than the fit he had about the Sisters.
What I really got from George's column was that it appears that people are beginning to feel threatened by the gay/lesbian community and its political power. In reading between the lines, I got the impression that George is telling us queers that we've gone too far and offended straight society. Well, George, get over it! This community is not going away.
One last thing, I was very amused by George's listing of all the wonderful things and people that are, in his mind, the Catholic Church. In particular, his reminding us that Catholic Charities was one of the largest AIDS service providers in the city. That is correct, but most of their money comes from local, state, and federal funds. There's that evil government again. I'm grateful for the services Catholic Charities provides, but that doesn't give the archdiocese the right to dictate morality to the community.
While George was making his list, he failed to mention that the Catholic Church is responsible for the Inquisition, the brutal torture and murder of thousands of women accused of witchcraft, complicity with the Nazis by allowing countless Italian Jews to be sent to death camps, leading the fight against a woman's right to choose, and condemning gay and lesbian people as less than human because of our "sins."
I welcome the archbishop's overtures of reconciliation. However, I fear that won't help. As long as he continues to call for the passage of anti-gay legislation and demands that our community bend to his will, there can be no room for reconciliation.
Jerry T. Windley
The Castro
I really appreciated reading George Cothran's opinion piece about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. I am a good liberal and supportive of gay rights. However, I agree with Cothran that the supervisors, but more importantly the Sisters, should have been more sympathetic to Catholic concerns. His thought exercise illustrating Catholics making fun of gays on the anniversary of Harvey Milk's assassination illustrated his point clearly and pointedly.
While the sisters may choose to mock religion, they could learn from some of its tenets: "Do unto others ..." is one that jumps to mind. Perhaps learning the Hail Mary prayer would be appropriate as well.
Brett Evans
Via Internet
George Cothran just doesn't get it. The Catholic Church has no right to be respected on Easter Sunday, or any other day. Thanks to the First Amendment, Catholics, whether archbishops or parishioners, do have the right to speak out and assemble to try to earn respect from the community.
The same First Amendment, coupled with the Fourteenth Amendment, fortunately prohibits the mayor and Board of Supervisors from denying a permit to assemble to any group, whether Catholics or the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, based on who they are or what their message is. Tom Ammiano, Mark Leno, and seven other supervisors were right to not revoke the Sisters' permit to assemble just because another group, the Catholics, objected to the Sisters' message on Easter or any other day.
The First Amendment protects speech and assembly, no matter how objectionable or offensive. It does not protect anyone from being offended. Despite Cothran's ranting, there is no more to this story.
Carl Stein
Noe Valley
Give George Cothran the Alicia Becerril award for vicious attacks. Becerril I can understand. She's Willie Brown's mouthpiece, going after Tom Ammiano, the only politician who can give Willie a run for his money in the mayoral race. The strategy was transparent -- knock Tom down a few pegs in front of the city's powerful Catholic vote.
But what's Cothran's problem? Has he forgotten that the First Amendment doesn't specify that the content of one's free speech has to be cleared through the archdiocese? If speech offends, that's all the more reason to protect it. Remember Lenny Bruce? The only olive branch Archbishop William Levada can offer queers (this one among them) is to speak out when we're murdered (he remained conspicuously silent when three recent gay bashings happened); to start teaching tolerance towards queers and others in his school system (I went to Catholic School for 12 years, so I know how bad it is); and to lay off politics (like the upcoming Defense of Marriage Act).
I don't expect Levada will do any of these things. Frankly, I don't think he gives a damn if queers are murdered or discriminated against. When's he ever said otherwise? Levada's a politician. He may have his eye on the throne of Rome. For certain he's going to use his new newspaper as a vehicle to influence politics in this city. Doesn't that violate his tax-exempt status?
I sure hope the IRS is watching. Willie's no better, of course. He took advantage of the situation to set up Ammiano as the fall guy. And Cothran fell for it, blaming the powerful gay community, instead of seeing the more obvious motives of the archbishop and the mayor. Not too swift, this Cothran.
Tommi Avicolli Mecca
The Castro
While I agree with George Cothran that holding a rally on Easter Sunday was probably not the smartest move the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence could have made -- at least if they want to win support for gay rights at the ballot box -- I strongly disagree that the city should have denied their permit.
No city government serves as a guarantor of polite (or even civil) public discourse. When a group makes an application that satisfies all the usual criteria regarding traffic, safety, etc. the city may not deny the permit based upon the group's views, or the content of their protest, however offensive it might be. Besides, you can't blame gays for having some negative feelings concerning Christians. How many times can you kick a dog before it will bite you?
Mike McCulley
Atlanta, Ga.
I was a little surprised at George Cothran's siding with the Catholic Church in his column, but totally baffled when he threw in the absolutely ignorant quote that the Catholic Church is "a leading force behind liberation in Central America." Examples? He gives us none.
Have you ever been to Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, or Honduras? Spanish conquistadors (good Catholics) forced those they didn't kill to convert to a religion that has kept women popping out children they cannot support (witness Guatemala City, Rio, and Sao Paulo's legions of homeless children), prevented them from having any choice in the matter, and from getting divorces. The mind-boggling poverty of these countries is largely based on the fact that there are too many babies being born.
If you call that a liberating religion, then you're as out of it as the Pope.

Superintendent Mike Miles began the school year as the subject of an investigation that could have cost him his job. Now, as opponents of a home-rule initiative rally behind Miles, his support in the public and among elected officials has seen a remarkable turnaround.
It was on full display Wednesday at a meeting between some Dallas ISD school board members and the Dallas City Council. Again and again, City Council members proclaimed support for Miles and his vision for the school district.
"Superintendent, you've been doing a tremendous job," Councilman Dwaine Caraway told Miles.
"The right choice right now is the man in the seat right here," Carolyn Davis said, pointing at Miles in the first row of City Council chambers. "Mr. Miles, you have my 100 percent."
Davis' statement stands in stark contrast to her actions a year ago, when she led a raucous community meeting at Madison High School to protest Miles' plan to remove the principal there. That meeting kicked off a contentious several months for Miles, who then became a target of an investigation in June. Community members called for him to be fired or resign. Some trustees suggested that he should lose his job.
In the past month and a half, Miles has found renewed support as the group Support Our Public Schools has made the case for converting DISD into a home-rule district. Opponents of home rule, including people who previously wanted Miles to leave, now cite the superintendent's district improvement plans as reason not to interfere with DISD.
Mayor Mike Rawlings picked up on that change of heart Wednesday.
"I could get a unanimous vote for Mr. Miles today. I want you to know that nine months ago, that wasn't the case. I'm very, very happy to see that," he said.

Frisco ISD is adding new healthy food options to its schools with help from funds provided by two grants.
A $3,024 grant from Dairy MAX, a local dairy council, helped the district fund baskets, thermal containers and other supplies to provide breakfast and lunch in the classrooms at the Early Childhood School. Previously, breakfast and lunch weren't part of the three-hour school day for students in the pre-kindergarten program.
The district was also able to implement a salad bar option at Pioneer Heritage Middle School with funds from the grant and financial support from the school's Parent Teacher Organization.
A donation from the Let's Move Salad Bars to Texas Schools health campaign will help Frisco ISD launch five more fruit and vegetable bars at elementary schools next school year.

Christian L.wrote a review of Marmot Leadville Jacket - Men's on December 12, 2013
Close to perfect
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: True to size
I've used this jacket during hikes and on the mountain bike. Pockets are in all the right places. It blocks the wind and keeps you dry at least in light rain. But what impresses me the most is the fit of the jacket. I can move freely wearing the jacket, nothing that binds or restricts movement. I'm a little concerned about the velcro closure on the arms, not sure how long they last, but other than that I totally love this jacket.

After five years under an ultra-orthodox mayor, secular Jerusalemites finally got their act together, turned out in number at the polling stations, and elected the secular candidate, young businessmen Nir Barkat.
With the final results in, Barkat gained 50% of the votes, and ultra-orthodox candidate Meir Porush got 42%. Barkat's achievement is impressive, bearing in mind that many Jerusalemites and Israelis believed that the demographic balance in favour of the orthodox Jews doomed the ever-holiest city to be ruled by religious mayors from here till kingdom come. It is even more remarkable for a politician who can hardly be called a charismatic or attractive leader. Barkat's prospects were clouded further by the famous tendency of the orthodox to vote as a unanimous bloc, as instructed by their rabbis: a bloc, moreover, with turnout rates typically in excess of 100%, (sometimes including dead grandmothers whose identity cards were left lying around after their unfortunate departure, hence enabling them to cast their posthumous votes by proxy).
The organisational achievement of the secularists in Jerusalem notwithstanding, this time it was the ultra-orthodox who managed to snatch defeat from the hands of victory. An internal orthodox political dispute over the candidacy of Porush led a few rabbis, notably the Hassidic rabbi of Gur, to instruct their followers to vote for Barkat. When asked by reporters if their hands did not shake when casting a vote for a secular candidate, Hassidic voters replied simply that their hands never shake when they follow their rabbi's orders. Other orthodox voters, followers of other rabbis, just stayed at home and refrained from voting at all.
Foreign observers tend to confuse Israeli secularism with general liberalism, and to assume that all religious leaders propagate rightwing nationalistic policies. In the case of the last elections in Jerusalem, they couldn't be more wrong. Barkat, in his effort to gather the large National-Religious electorate under his flag, has already committed to building a new Jewish settlement in occupied Palestinian Anata in East Jerusalem, and voiced some radical anti-Palestinian views. His opinions deterred not only the tiny number of radical lefties in Jerusalem; liberal Zionists too have expressed concern over his political statements. Yossy Sarid, the previous leader of the liberal Meretz party, called on the secular Jews of Jerusalem to refrain from supporting Barkat in an article in Ha'aretz. But it seems that even the liberal Jerusalemites, with few exceptions, were so adamant to deflect the orthodox threat that they were willing to sacrifice their Palestinian neighbours to Barkat's bulldozers, and join the settlers in securing his election.
The ultra-orthodox are, naturally, no lefties, and their religious affiliation often dictates a segregationist and racist view of all non-Jews. At the same time, as they represent the poorest strata of Jerusalemites, alongside the Palestinians, they often share more interests with them than with Barkat's middle-class supporters. Helping the poor, assisting large families and investing in welfare are all mutual interests of the orthodox community, as well as the Palestinian one. Added to the fact that he ultra-orthodox and the National-Religious voters are not joined at the hip, and the latter's support for Barkat, Porush would have possibly served the interest of peace in Jerusalem much better, or in the very least would have harmed it less, than Barkat.
The fact that the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem traditionally boycott the municipal elections is nothing less than a tragedy. Their position – not recognising the Israeli occupation in East Jerusalem – is highly understandable. However, considering their large number, and the fact that many of them "recognise" the occupying forces anyway by accepting welfare payments, choosing a more political and less symbolic form of protest could have enabled them to play kingmaker and determine the identity of Jerusalem's mayor. The Palestinian leadership may do well to re-consider its policies in that respect.
In the meantime, Jerusalem has elected a mayor who would no doubt join in solidarity with the next gay parade, and may prevent the closing of a pub or two on Friday nights. These are no small things. But his bulldozers will keep demolishing Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem, and digging the foundations for new settlements, hence carrying on with the "silent transfer" of Palestinians from the city. Only a joint force of Palestinians and liberal Jews stands a chance of stopping this from happening again. The next window for that will open in 5 years time.

As part of Wood 2010, an exhibition on the climate, sustainable cities and wood architecture, due to begin 9 May 2010, the Virserum Art Museum in Sweden is releasing an international call for Architecture of Necessity.
The call is a demand for a new approach to architecture and construction based on sustainability, equality and responsibility.
"In the media-controlled globalised society, architecture is increasingly becoming an implement for competition
and the desirability of locations," say the organisers. "Architecture becomes icons whose aim is to cause sensation. Poor city planning
and property speculation result in social divisions, long journeys and waste of resources. Human construction
and habitation are key causes of environmental decay and climate change. The problems are global,
as is the financial crisis that has plunged the world into recession."
Virserum Art Museum is inviting architects from all over the world to submit examples of Architecture of Necessity. An international jury of architects will award three honourable mentions to the best contributions, to be announced in August 2010. Submissions do not have to involve the use of wood.
According to the Museum Architecture of Necessity is 'responsible, diligent, sustainable, just and open'.
All submissions will be exhibited in Sweden's largest continuous exhibition space at the Virserum Museum from 9 maj–19 september 2010 at the Museum before travelling through Sweden, Scandinavia and the rest of the world.
