About MeI was the girl who thought dresses were stupid, climbed trees on recess and always had a drawing pencil in hand. My dreams came true when I married my prince, and had three of the cutest boys ever. My drawing pencil is still in hand, and when I am not drawing, I am thinking about it. Many of my illustrations are inspired by the adventures my boys and I have together. P.S Still, dresses are dumb.

Whenever I need to finance or refinance a property I call up my friendly mortgage broker and about three weeks later the deal is done.
My mortgage broker is a good example of the best you can find in his profession, a profession which is now on the verge of extinction. I know when I deal with him that I'll walk away with the best available financing I can get and that I won't pay a dime to close.
Not everyone is so lucky.
For mortgage brokers, recent events have been especially grim, a hint of things to come. Increasingly, mortgage brokers are seen as a central cause of the mortgage meltdown, an excessive cost to lenders and as grossly unreliable by both borrowers and investors. Just recently a court threw out efforts by the mortgage brokerage industry to hide yield-spread premiums — a kind of back-door payment to lenders — on good faith estimate forms HUD will require after Jan. 1.
The Middlemen
The mortgage process today is essentially a distribution system which moves money from investors to borrowers. While it happens that local lenders provide loans for local borrowers, such quaint transactions are a small part of the lending system. For more than half of all borrowers the lending system is different: A mortgage broker takes the loan application, pulls together a loan file to prove that the loan meets the requirements of the lender and mortgage insurer and then submits the application to a lender.
So what is it, exactly, that the mortgage broker does for borrowers? According to the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB):
- "The consumer receives a knowledgeable professional throughout the complex mortgage lending process. The broker offers the consumer a variety of home loans."
- "By offering superior market knowledge and direct access to many different loan programs, a mortgage broker provides the consumer the most efficient and cost-effective method of obtaining a mortgage that fits the consumer's financial goals and circumstances."
So why would a lucid borrower pick mortgage broker Smith over mortgage broker Jones? Because one claims to offer the best rates and terms.
This seems logical except for one huge problem: While the borrower "receives a knowledgeable professional" and is introduced to many loan programs, the mortgage broker does not work for the borrower.
"Simply put," says Harry Dinham, a former NAMB president, "a mortgage broker should not, and cannot, owe a fiduciary duty to a borrower. The consumer is the decision maker, not the mortgage broker."
The conflict here is obvious: A borrower with limited mortgage knowledge relies on the advice and product offerings of a trained, experienced professional who can maximize his income by selling the most expensive loan possible to the borrower.
You think this doesn't happen?
In 2005 the Wall Street Journal found that 55 percent of all subprime borrowers actually qualified for conventional — and cheaper — mortgages. The rate rose to 61 percent in 2006. (See: Subprime Debacle Traps Even Very Credit-Worthy, The Wall Street Journal, Dec. 3, 2007.)
In other words, the majority of high-cost subprime loans were sold to people who could have enjoyed lower rates and better terms based on their credit profile — some of whom may now be facing foreclosure because of the costly toxic loans they received.
And who originates more than half of all loans? Mortgage brokers.
They Can Get It For You Wholesale
Mortgage brokers don't have cash to make loans, instead they rely on wholesale credit lines from those who do have cash such as banks, insurance companies and pensions.
This means that part of the mortgage broker's income is derived from the difference between the wholesale cost of a loan and the retail price paid by the borrower. The bigger the gap, the bigger the broker's profit.
Now you might think, aha, so the mortgage broker must be working for the wholesalers and seeking to maximize their profits. Nope, that's not right either.
"Mortgage brokers," says NAMB President, Marc Savitt, "do not create loan products, do not determine the automated underwriting systems used to qualify borrowers, do not underwrite the loans, and do not approve borrowers for those loans."
So what benefit do mortgage brokers provide for lenders?
"Essentially, mortgage brokers are independent contractors who supplement the lender's own sales force," says Jim Saccacio, Chairman and CEO at RealtyTrac.com, the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties. "This holds down lender costs because banks, insurance companies and pension funds get an army of sales people who are only paid when they deliver loans.
"The looming question is whether lenders really want an outside sales force," continues Saccacio. "Some lenders are beginning to reconsider the issue, thinking that perhaps smaller wholesale operations or no wholesale operations would actually be a better option."
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase, put it this way to a Chamber of Commerce meeting in March: "If I had to point out my biggest mistake, probably of my whole career, was not closing down our mortgage broker business sooner. Okay? It, a mortgage broker product, that was not our own salesperson from the client, has two or three times the loss rates of all our product."
Chase and a number of other lenders have now closed down or reduced their wholesale mortgage operations. The failure of Colonial Bank — a $25 billion bank with 346 branches and a major source of wholesale funding — substantially reduces the funding available to many mortgage brokers, meaning that many mortgage bankers have been left with less to sell and in some cases with no products to offer.
Not only are lenders closing down wholesale pipelines, the related issue is that investors — the folks who buy mortgage-backed securities and pump cash into the system — also want less risk, something they can get with better deals for borrowers.
Who Benefits?
So far it would seem that mortgage brokers as a group have pretty much gotten the recognition they deserve. But remember, there are good mortgage brokers out there. Just think about the guy I use.
Let's say for a moment that a very large number of wholesale credit lines are cut off or reduced and that the world suddenly has fewer mortgage brokers. Who comes out ahead?
If you're a bank you want to make loans because piles of cash in a vault don't produce any returns. One way to make more money is to dump high-cost outside marketers and instead use lower-cost, salaried staff.
This could be a good deal for both borrowers and banks if the result was mortgages with lower consumer costs. Then again, that's a fat "if" — consider how credit card customers have been treated, the costs of using ATMs and the fees for bouncing a check.
The Twist
Lenders and borrowers are not buddies. They're adversaries in the financial marketplace. Lenders want to maximize profits and borrowers want to minimize costs. Not since gladiators fought with lions has there been a more obvious clash.
All of which brings us back to mortgage brokers. Basically, this is a profession which needs to make a decision: Either keep representing no one and go the way of the ox cart or start providing a professional service in the sense of lawyers, real estate brokers or doctors.
Imagine this scenario: You need a mortgage. You hire a mortgage broker to represent you. The mortgage broker is paid a set fee negotiated in advance. There are no ups, extras or add-ons. You can rely on the mortgage broker because he's your agent.
You benefit because the mortgage broker is a professional, someone who knows which loan best meets your circumstances. As to which loan you chose, the fee-only mortgage broker has your best interests at heart. Why? Because he gets paid the same no matter which mortgage you choose — but if you get a really good loan you'll recommend him to other borrowers and other borrowers mean more fees.
NAMB says it has more than 25,000 members, but there's another association of mortgage brokers out there, one you need to know about.
The Upfront Mortgage Brokers Association (UMBA) has just 80 individual members and 10 company members. Based on the ideas of Jack Guttentag, aka "The Mortgage Professor," a nationally syndicated real estate columnist and a Professor of Finance Emeritus at Wharton, the group has a code of ethics that actually means something.
For instance, members pledge that "the broker will endeavor to act in the best interests of the customer." Nothing fuzzy about this, it creates a fiduciary obligation to represent borrowers.
Members also promise to "establish a price for services upfront, in writing, based on information provided by the customer."
"The price," says the UMBA code, "may be a fixed dollar amount, a percent of the loan, an hourly charge for the broker's time, or a combination of these. The price or prices will cover all the services provided by the broker. If the broker charges a loan processing fee, the amount will be disclosed to the customer, regardless of whether it is paid directly to the broker or to a third party."
Lastly, with UMBA members hidden yield-spread premiums are out. Not only are such premiums disclosed, they're credited to borrowers.
"If the broker's fee is 1 point, for example," says UMBA, "and the broker collects 1 point from the lender as a 'yield spread premium', the broker either charges the customer 1 point and credits the customer with the yield spread premium, or charges the customer nothing and retains the yield spread premium."
You can see the benefit of the UMBA approach. If it makes sense to have a buyer broker representing you as a real estate purchaser, why would it not make sense to have a mortgage broker protect your interests when you get a loan?
UMBA is small and not well known, but the way things are going it's the future of mortgage brokerage. Members pledged to its standards are listed on its website, UpfrontMortgageBrokers.org

Unanswered: MKS Toolkit anyone
Has anyone set up a MS SQL Server 2005 adminstrative infrastructure using MKS toolkit? If so, let me kno what you think of the product. I'm looking to port / modifya lot of very complex UNIX / SYbase maintenance utilties from AIX/ ASE15 to MS Server 2003/SQL Server 2005. MS does not provide the functionality encompassed, and I will be hacking the MS system tables as well to design proprietary fault tolerant processes.

The MKS Toolkit provides command line UI and scripting only. It provides sh and most or all of the common command line tools from the *ix environments but it does not change the underlying programming model one iota.
Before you get too carried away and buy MKS, you might want to investigate Interop Systems and/or the Unix Services offered by Microsoft itself. MKS offers a nicely integrated package, but it isn't cheap and you might be just as satisfied with a free scripting product.
The SQLCMD utility works well both under sh.exe and cmd.exe and it also works well with most of the MKS tools. Key problem programs for me are tee and sed, and those problems center around the way that pipes are processed.
Can you fill in some details about what you are trying to do? I've been doing this for many years, and might be able to save you lots of time, effort, and dissatisfaction.

The Nagi love their "musik". It is the name for the little home-made guitars. The one or two strings are strummed incessantly to create 'wonderful' music. 🙂 While it is a little painful to the ears of those who have some musical skills…the rest of us manage to enjoy the sound of musik being played. This little guy is a little shy but often they will sing along with made up stories about their Dad out hunting, working sagu starch or trips to different places. I'm looking forward to the day they are also singing about the Lord parting the Red Sea, closing the mouths of lions and the many other new truths they will be learning about!

EchoStar Communications has launched a mosaic video application that will enable viewers to watch six TV thumbnailed video channels and access an interactive menu concurrently.
Powered by OpenTV Corp. set-top software, the mosaic and interactive elements, offered on channel 100, follow some earlier work with the technology by EchoStar. In 2004, the DBS service provider offered mosaics to support the Summer Olympics and for coverage of the Presidential elections.
A mosaic thumbnail, once selected by a customer, will be transitioned to full-screen video.
Cable also has some grand plans for mosaic video applications. The Comcast Media Center and GuideWorks LLC, the Comcast Corp./Gemstar-TV Guide joint venture, are developing "video-rich navigation" enhancements for interactive program guides.

[dinarinvestor] wango1 rich17 That's what I understand too. That WF is the host bank and will release to Okie to "make the post" which will then go to recaps for all the peeps to see. WF needs a spokesman in the dinar community. That makes business sense to me.

I am curious, how can someone come in under someone else's name. Don't you have to have a password to get on the site and if you were to change the password, would you not have to have an e-mail address to have a request to change sent to. I say this because now it seems someone is able to get your e-mail address and one day can become very valuable. How does a thing like this happen. I thought each name had to be unique to each site. How can someone come is as you??? Please someone explain this to me. Please don't say hacker because now I know all information out there could be for eyes you don't want to see. IMO we are now all exposed. Yes, after RV we will change these things, but how exposed are we now.
Good thinking. Change everything after CE. Change bank accounts, computers, logins, telephone numbers, address, anything that can be connected electronically to you, put all services on new address under trust name including house etc. and try as much as possible to disappear.

There are banks in Hawaii that do currency exchanges, I'm POSITIVE. Do some legwork and find out who does that and then approach them when the time comes. They may not give the same rate, but you may get a better deal. Look at what you will be changing in and decide if the cost of an airline ticket would be worth it to you or just do it there.
4/5/2013 10:48:02 am
Chapster is correct that there are places in Hawaii to exchange currency. I have family in Waikiki and we all have a deal with WellsFargo for CE, so that is where we must go. This is how ours is set up.

I've always been an avid collector. Whether books, old birthday cards, or magazine clippings, I had a shelf for it all. Naturally, there are some cons to this hobby, like clutter and being called a hoarder from time to time.
Moving from city to city and apartment to apartment over the years, I've learned to narrow down my belongings and part with things. My vintage glass jar collection is, however, the one thing I've hung onto. Not only is it pretty but it's also quite useful, as I now have lovely vessels for speedy gifts.
Skim through your cabinets and hang on to those old jam jars, folks. And when you're in need of a thank you, congratulations, or just a "thinking of you" special-something, toss any of these six quick food gifts into a jar and gift it away.
Herby Aioli: This aioli couldn't be more perfect for your upcoming summer picnics. Overflowing with fresh herbs, it is the perfect accompaniment to garden-fresh veggies.
Carrot Top Pesto: Don't even think about tossing your carrot tops after chopping the orange bits in a salad. Instead add them to your pesto, and enjoy an instant food gift.
Apricot Chipotle Barbecue Sauce: The answer is yes, you can, and should, add fruit to your barbecue sauce. It's the perfect natural sweetener, and a great way to use up any extra-ripe fruit.
Mustard Sea Salt: This salt couldn't be easier to throw together, and is a game-changer when it comes to your pretzels, popcorn, or poultry.
Candied Clementines: The vanilla bean is such a tasty addition to these candied clementines, plus they look oh so lovely in a jar.
Cashew Milk: Step aside, almond milk. This milk is surprisingly easy to make and is a unique gift for your dairy-free friends looking for a nourishing, creamy milk.

Looking for a Winston B2x 6wt rod to buy or trade for a B2mx7wt.
There is one for sale on another forum:
Also, take a look on eBay, another one there for $325. cheers
Thanks again!
No worries. The least I can do while I am searching for my own 'ideal' rod, is help others (where I can) find theirs.
Much more fun to help others spend their money. I own a 6wt biix and at this time it is one of my "they will pry it from my cold dead hands" rods.

ANDA20: Quinta da Montanha
São Pedro do Sul, Viseu
Private and remote property with 0.5ha land with terraces, oak and chestnut trees
Property Description
5,140m2 agricultural land. Grapes, oak and chestnut trees and wine established.
Stone walls and fire break bordering land.
Full ownership and rights on Spring (that runs cold clear drinking water all year).
Electricity poles and cable already on land (meaning cheap and easy connection).
Mains water available if required (also fairly cheap and fed from local spring).
4 minutes walk from nearest small village called Landeira (no shops).
5km from nearest village with bank, shops, post office and most basic requirements (Santa Cruz da trappa).
10km from nearest town with a bigger selection of everything (Sao Pedro do sul)
Approximately 700m above sea level.
The land is situated 4 min walk down a stone walled public path from the village of Landeira, bordering a National park.
It has a spring in an old stone tank at the top of the land so gravity does the work to water the terraces below. The top four terraces have wine growing and have been farmed until fairly recently. The ten terraces below have a good selection of old and young oak and chestnut trees with a very old heart oak at the bottom corner.
The scenery and view are breathtaking and the whole valley looks like a scene from a fairytale. The valley has a beautiful river running trough it with lots of pretty waterfalls and small pools for swimming. You have access to one of the prettiest bits just 2 min walk down a public stone path from the land.
Oaks and chestnuts are established throughout the valley and the river means that the land is very fertile and green. It's ideal for growing a wide range of plants and food all year round and specialises in aromatics.
People from several countries around Europe have settled in this valley over the last 15 years or so and there is a good multicultural feeling. On top of this the local people are very friendly and always willing to share their expert knowledge of working these lands.
The whole area including the land itself combines privacy, remoteness and beautiful scenery with an easy access to civilisation when needed.

It has been almost 3 weeks since I did Henry's home visit and adoption with his new family. Today I received this update from his mom and wanted to share it:
"Hi Janine,
Thanks for the pictures. We are sending some of our own. We absolutely love this little guy. WE cannot get enough of him. He is with us all the time. Thanks for doing such a great job crate training him, he sleeps through the night and is an angel when he is in there. The potty training is a little challenging but getting better. He is a little dolly and we just love him to bits. Tell your husband we will love and take special care of this little guy, we adore him.
He is much better on the leash and loves to go for walks. He runs in circles around here and keeps our cats on their toes. We weren't sure how the cranky old cat would be but as it turns out he is just that, old and cranky. He leaves Henry alone and Henry tries to push his buttons but for the most part it is peaceful. We did realize very quickly he doesn't like to share his toys and often sits with them all around him. He has learned how to pick up more than one at a time and carry them away. We bought him a little bed to sleep in under my desk and he wanted nothing to do with it, he wanted to sleep in the cats big bed, so our big fat cat took over the new bed and now I catch them sharing it. Henry didn't want it, but he didn't want the cat to have it either. He is really funny. We will keep sending updates as he gets older. Thanks for bringing him back to health and taking such good care of him, we feel very lucky to have him. Our only fear is that one of our friends or family will kidnap him because he is so cute. Thanks again.
Tara, Jim and Henry"
Fostering is hard. Falling in love with your foster "kids", bringing them back to health, loving them up like one of your own and then, when it's time, letting them go. Updates like this are what keep us going when things get difficult. This is why we do what we do. Henry's story started with being tied in a plastic bag and tossed in the trash like garbage and now he is healthy, happy and has a great family of his own who love him. I miss him terribly and as difficult as it was for me to let him go, I know I made the right decision for him when I read this update.


text: This Je Tsonkhapa thangka was hand-painted in Nepal. This thangka is 30 inches long and 21 inches wide inside the brocade, and the painting alone is 14 inches long and 10 inches wide. This thangka was hand-painted by a master thangka painter in Nepal. Je Tsongkhapa was a 14th century Buddhist master who developed Kadampa Buddhism. Je Tsongkhapa taught the people of Tibet how to practice Buddhism. The name Je Tsongkhapa is translated as 'the man from Onion Valley'. Je Tsongkhapa holds his hands in the Dharma-chakra mudra. He holds the stem of a lotus in each hand, and the lotus blossoms are near his ears. His legs are crossed in vajra position. On his head, Je Tsongkhapa wears a pointy hat. The point signifies the fact that he has reached Samsara, full enlightenment, and the yellow color represents growth of peace, harmony, luck, achievements, happiness, wealth, and long life.

Hi, I am looking for someone to give me a quote on a sewing job, depending on the price and result of the job, lots of other work may arise from this. It is a one off. It is to construct a very simple tent, basically all straight line work. Because it is a sample tent, a low price will be needed, but it will be a simple job. Upon a deal being made for the tent, then there could be a contract drawn for a set number of these at a mutually agreeable price.

The relationship between celebrities and Broadway shows goes both ways. Ideally, a clever bit of stunt casting will draw audiences to a show, and the right material will allow a star -- a refugee from film, television or pop music -- to establish a reputation for genuine, non-camera-enhanced acting talent. The results are hard to forecast: ''The Graduate'' suffered when it cast Lorraine Bracco, from The Sopranos, one of the most beloved shows on television, while ''Rent'' benefited from the addition of Joey Fatone, who isn't even the most famous member of N Sync, a slowly fading pop group. This spring, a new crop of stars will arrive on Broadway: Sean Combs (better known as P. Diddy), making his stage debut in a revival of ''A Raisin in the Sun''; Richard Dreyfuss and Elizabeth Berkley in ''Sly Fox,'' Alec Baldwin and Anne Heche in ''Twentieth Century,'' Ray Liotta and Frank Langella in ''Match,'' Laura Linney in ''Sight Unseen,'' Christopher Plummer in ''King Lear,'' Alfre Woodward in ''Drowning Crow'' and Alfred Molina in ''Fiddler on the Roof.'' How will they and their shows fare? There's no way to predict, of course. But here's a look at the track records of some of their recent predecessors. ZACHARY PINCUS-ROTH
STAR: Farrah Fawcett
BROADWAY ROLE: Bobbi Boland in ''Bobbi Boland''
DATES PERFORMED: Nov. 4-9, 2003
REVIEWS: Not reviewed; closed before opening.
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Show closed after seven previews, taking in exactly $100,389.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Her manager, Mark Berg, says that despite the plays failure, Ms. Fawcett ''hasn't lost her marketability.'' Though she's not aggressively pursuing acting roles, he said, she's still getting offers, and is starring as Danny Glovers wife in the indie comedy ''The Cookout,'' scheduled for an August release.
STAR: Ashley Judd
BROADWAY ROLE: Maggie in ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof''
DATES PERFORMED: Oct. 9 to present
REVIEWS: Some critics agreed that Ms. Judd understands the rhythm of Williams's music, but she doesnt yet swing it (John Lahr, The New Yorker). Others felt she doesn't know where her own voice box is located, or how to support the tone it produces, or much of anything else about acting (Michael Feingold, The Village Voice).Continue reading the main story
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Limited run, which ends March 14, has done better business than any other play this season except ''Henry IV'' and has recouped its costs.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Though her co-star Ned Beatty openly critiqued her acting ability in an interview in The Times and her reviews were on the negative side, Ms. Judd's movie career continues with the forthcoming thriller Twisted and the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely.
STAR: Hugh Jackman
BROADWAY ROLE: Peter Allen in ''The Boy From Oz''
DATES PERFORMED: Sept. 16 to present
REVIEWS: Critics panned the show but praised Mr. Jackman, calling him ''an indisputably authentic star'' and a rare ''matinee idol'' (Ben Brantley, The New York Times) in ''one of the breakout leadingman musical debuts in recent Broadway memory'' (Linda Winer, Newsday).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Without Mr. Jackman, Oz would probably have closed by now, but instead it has raked in more than $800,000 most eight-performance weeks, and the producers simply put the entire show on hiatus during his vacations.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: By single-handedly saving weak material, Mr. Jackman has only added to his star quotient.
STAR: Melanie Griffith
BROADWAY ROLE: Roxie Hart in ''Chicago''
DATES PERFORMED: July 11 to Oct. 5, 2003
REVIEWS: Critics agreed that Ms. Griffith ''is no more singer and dancer than she is stage actress'' (John Simon, New York), and while some found these flaws fatal, many felt that her ''natural vulnerability'' gave her a refreshing authenticity (Charles Isherwood, Variety), making her stint ''one of the most bizarrely successful debuts in Broadway history'' (Ben Brantley, The New York Times).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Her stint broke house records at the Ambassador Theater, but the film version of Chicago had lent the show so much publicity that it racked up 13 straight weeks of at least 95 percent attendance right before she arrived.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: After her run she told The Times that she was in negotiations to play a lobbyist in a television series, and that she hoped her success in ''Chicago'' would persuade the show's producers, Barry and Fran Weissler, to give her the title role in their future Broadway revival of ''Sweet Charity.''
STAR: Toni Braxton
BROADWAY ROLE: Aida in ''Aida''
DATES PERFORMED: June 30 to Nov. 16, 2003
REVIEWS: The few critics who saw her gave her mixed but respectful notices, ranging from ''confidently taken on the role'' (Clive Barnes, The New York Post) to ''Braxton is no stage singer'' and ''swallows her phrases but is proud, happy and hard-working'' (Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: The week Michelle T. Williams of Destiny's Child replaced her, box office plummeted $270,753 -- 34 percent, while Broadway as a whole dropped just 6 percent.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: During her run, Ms. Braxton signed with the William Morris Agency for film and television jobs, but she is putting her acting career on hold until she finishes her new album. Her ''Aida'' stint also helped promote her greatest-hits album, ''Ultimate Toni Braxton,'' released on Nov. 4, although it entered the Billboard chart at only No. 119.
STAR: Antonio Banderas
BROADWAY ROLE: Guido Contini in ''Nine''
DATES PERFORMED: March 21 to Oct. 5, 2003
REVIEWS: Most critics raved, finding him ''innocent and charismatic enough to charm an audience into liking a self-obsessed adulterer'' (Jason Zinoman, Time Out New York), and many enjoyed his ''powerhouse baritone'' (Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford Courant), while acknowledging that his accent made the faster lyrics ''come out sounding like instant Esperanto'' (Charles Isherwood, Variety).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Standing room only for the last 19 weeks of his run; gross plunged $207,063 (27 percent) the week John Stamos took over, while Broadway as a whole went up 10 percent, not counting new shows.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Mr. Banderas gained respect from a stunned theater community but will continue to do films, like the forthcoming Shrek 2 and Zorro 2.
STAR: Paul Newman
BROADWAY ROLE: Stage Manager in ''Our Town''
DATES PERFORMED: Nov. 22, 2002, to Jan. 26, 2003
REVIEWS: While some thought his low-key approach ''doesn't provide the show with the propulsive force it needs'' (Jeremy McCarter, The New York Sun), most praised what may be ''the most modest performance ever by a major American star on a Broadway stage'' (Ben Brantley, The New York Times).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Thanks to Mr. Newman, the play sold $3 million in tickets and recouped its $1 million capitalization, all before the first preview.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Both before and after ''Our Town,'' Mr. Newman has enjoyed enduring popularity. He will appear in HBO's forthcoming film ''Empire Falls,'' and will lend his voice to the Pixar animated film ''Cars.'' According to his publicist, Warren Cowan, Mr. Newman said that the Thornton Wilder play would be his last stage appearance.
STAR: Lorraine Bracco
BROADWAY ROLE: Mrs. Robinson in ''The Graduate''
DATES PERFORMED: Nov. 19, 2002, to March 2, 2003
REVIEWS: Reviews were mixed, ranging from ''lacks variety and depth'' (Howard Kissel, The Daily News) and ''a lethargic bore'' (Adam Feldman, Broadway.com) to ''just enough vulnerability'' (Linda Winer, Newsday) and ''she's simply sensational'' (Clive Barnes, The New York Post).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Gross dipped 36 percent, with Broadway down 4 percent, the week she took over from Kathleen Turner. Ms. Bracco's stint eventually closed the show, but the play itself -- which got scathing reviews -- may have simply lost its legs.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Ms. Bracco moved on to the Graduate tour and continues until March 14, when she hands her role to Kelly McGillis. That's one week after Ms. Bracco returns to HBO in the premiere of the fifth and penultimate season of The Sopranos.
STAR: Joey Fatone
BROADWAY ROLE: Mark Cohen in ''Rent''
DATES PERFORMED: Aug. 5 to Dec. 22, 2002
REVIEWS: The few critics who saw him had mixed opinions, ranging from ''a sweetly sincere, fully committed performance'' (Ken Mandelbaum, Broadway.com) to ''too bland and too cool'' (Mark Evans, Associated Press).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Gross increased $105,144 (30 percent, with Broadway up just 8 percent) in his first week.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Mr. Fatone got more acting jobs, including Danny Zuko in an Orlando production of ''Grease'' and the Big Bad Wolf in a yet to be released film version of ''Little Red Riding Hood.'' He turned down an offer to play the beast in Broadway's ''Beauty and the Beast'' this spring to continue auditioning for television and film.
STAR: Molly Ringwald
BROADWAY ROLE: Sally Bowles in ''Cabaret''
DATES PERFORMED: Four months in 2001-2 and six in 2002-3
REVIEWS: Though some thought her performance was ''absolutely dazzling'' and ''carefully nuanced'' (Clive Barnes, The New York Post), as a result of ''the vulnerability that Ms. Ringwald still radiates'' even a decade and a half after her heyday (Ben Brantley, The New York Times), some felt she was ''competent but calculated and consistently obvious'' (Charles Isherwood, Variety).
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON SHOW: Small, if any. Gross went up $20,664 (6 percent) during her first week, while Broadway as a whole went up less than 1 percent, but several other shows had similar increases that week.
EFFECT ON STAR'S CAREER: Ms. Ringwald next starred in the unsuccessful Broadway play ''Enchanted April'' (for which she received mixed reviews). She recently had her second child and is now looking for television roles.Continue reading the main story

When a judge struck down New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's large soda ban one day before it was to go into effect, America's nanny-in-chief was outraged. Bloomberg compared 16-ounce Mountain Dews with lead paint. He had to remind reporters, "This is not a joke."
It's easy to laugh at Bloomberg's sugary soda statism. New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling preferred to blast the regulations as "arbitrary and capricious," an apt description of a ban that applies to some merchants but not others.
But political busybodies will likely keep trying to regulate what we put in our bodies as the government assumes a larger share of health care expenses. The obese elephant in the room is that health care increasingly costs the taxpayers money. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have attributed one-tenth of national medical costs to health problems associated with obesity.
The more your health care is provided at taxpayers' expense, the more the rest of us will have to say about the personal choices that affect your health. Commentator Paul Hsieh has called it the "dangerous synergy between the nanny state and universal health care."
Despite the good intentions behind them, such proposals seem outrageous given the failure of Prohibition and the number of states ready to wave the white flag in the so-called war on drugs. But cities have faced little blowback from policies curbing public smoking and now are ready to regulate lifestyle choices with little secondhand impact.
Call it the New Illegal Coke.
Across the world, we've seen compulsory waist-size measurements, taxes on chocolate and bans on trans fats. Sodas were not far behind. It took public protests to dissuade the Massachusetts legislature from banning school bake sales.
In this morality tale, the beverage industry is the new Big Tobacco. One public health advocate who praised Bloomberg's ban declared soda manufacturers had had "free rein" for "over a hundred years." It was time for the government to step in.
As Bloomberg himself has acknowledged -- at times to protect his public health campaign from criticism that it was overly coercive -- the ban technically wouldn't stop New Yorkers from drinking as much soda as they want. They would just have to do so with more servings and at a greater cost. (Some way to help out the poor.)
The theory behind the ban is that overly large serving sizes contribute to obesity by causing people to consume more than they would otherwise. But the research on that isn't conclusive, with some studies suggesting the ease of obtaining less healthy food options may be a bigger factor than serving sizes.
As the public policy journalist Joseph Lawler put it, "Short of banning microwaves and freezers, it's not clear what Bloomberg could do to reverse the situation." He might more profitably lobby the federal government to abolish corn subsidies, which make it cheaper to sweeten sodas and offer double cheeseburgers on the dollar menu.
The larger question is whether a free society should ban, tax and regulate its way to public health. That might not be what the public thought it was bargaining for with Obamacare, but that is what we're likely to get. My weight is now your problem.
This is what Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., was getting at when he asked Elena Kagan, then President Obama's nominee for Supreme Court, if Congress had the constitutional authority to mandate that Americans eat required servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
"Sounds like a dumb law," Kagan sensibly replied. She suggested that perhaps it wouldn't have enough to do with Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce.
"What if I said that eating three fruits and three vegetables would cut health care costs 20 percent?" Coburn shot back. "Now, we're into commerce. And since the government pays 65 percent of all the health care costs, why isn't that constitutional?"
Based on the ruling against Bloomberg's soda mischief, courts may not yet be willing to embrace that argument. But the New York City experience shows it may not be so far-fetched for politicians.
One need not believe all lifestyle choices are equally healthy or valid to value a high level of freedom of choice. But Obamacare might make some freedoms too costly.
Perhaps you can't have Big Gulps and big government, too.

Price Named NHL Rookie of the Month
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, who backstopped the team to its first division title since 1992, posting a 7-3-0 record, 2.67 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and one shutout, has been named the NHL Rookie of the Month for March.
Price edged Edmonton Oilers center Sam Gagner (6-9–15 in 15 games), Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom (5-9–14 in 14 games), Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (4-10–14 in 15 games) and Los Angeles Kings goaltender Eric Ersberg (5-4-2, 2.31 goals-against average, .932 save percentage, two shutouts) for the award.
Price allowed two or fewer goals in five of his 10 starts including a 4-0 shutout win over the New Jersey Devils on Mar. 11. In 39 appearances this season Price has posted a record of 22-12-3, a 2.64 goals-against average, .918 save percentage and three shutouts.
Montreal's first choice and the fifth overall selection at the 2005 Entry Draft, Price led the American Hockey League Hamilton Bulldogs to the Calder Cup Championship in 2007 capturing the MVP Award for the playoffs. The 6-3, 212-lb. Vancouver, British Columbia native backstopped Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championships in 2006, winning a gold medal.
Price joins previous 2007-08 Rookie of the Month winners Kane (October), Atlanta Thrashers defenseman Tobias Enstrom (November), Backstrom (December), Phoenix Coyotes center Peter Mueller (January) and Gagner (February).

A Place to Live, Now a Job: Displaced by Katrina
Day to Day continues its profile of a family forced to leave their New Orleans home by Hurricane Katrina. Reporter Joshua Levs catches up with the Smith family outside Dallas, Texas, where they have found a new apartment. The kids are in school — now parents Selwyn and Chiquita must find work.
ALEX CHADWICK, host:
Ever since Hurricane Katrina, we've been following the story of one family that escaped New Orleans and is trying to build a new life. The Smiths first went to Atlanta, then Dallas. That's where they are now, living with practically nothing. But their kids are in school and beginning this week they'll be in an apartment. Joshua Levs reports.
JOSHUA LEVS reporting:
As Selwyn and Chiquita Smith get settled in an apartment this week, it will mark the first time since the storm that they're not crowding themselves, their three children, and a niece into one small hotel room with two beds. We reached them at what they hope will be their last hotel for a while, a Best Western in McKinney, Texas, just north of Dallas.
Mrs. CHIQUITA SMITH (Evacuee): I'll be glad to get out of here. This is miserable, just living in one room, you know, not really eating properly.
LEVS: Chiquita said the family would move into a new three-bedroom apartment in McKinney sight unseen. Selwyn's relatives in nearby Arlington helped them find out about the place. The building's owner is working with relief agencies to make at least the first month free. Chiquita said the family was looking forward to it, even though the place has no beds.
Mrs. SMITH: You know, we still don't have furniture and, you know, a television. So, I mean, you know, we're still struggling to get there and we're still looking for odd jobs so we can get those things that we need, so they can feel, you know, normal again.
LEVS: They're hoping to spring for a couple of air mattresses, and some of the family members might sleep on the floor. The little money they had is quickly dwindling. Selwyn says they've pretty much been getting by on turkey sandwiches.
Mr. SELWYN SMITH (Evacuee): You know, we got to, you know, basically try to hold on to everything we could hold on to, you know. So it's still not, like, living like you're used to living, but you got to adapt for right now. You just got to live.
LEVS: He found out the family will get nothing for a restored '69 Buick they had in New Orleans, and it could be months before they get anything for the destroyed shotgun home they were just about to move into. Selwyn is starting to look for jobs, but all he has are two pairs of shorts. He's torn about whether to buy slacks, shirts and ties.
Mr. SMITH: I have to try to save as much as I can save. So, you know, I mean, I do have it, but I could use it for other things, but I have to do that right now.
LEVS: At home, he was a loan officer at a lending company. Now he's looking for work in sales or pretty much anything he can get. And with six mouths to feed, he's hoping for a salary that will at least put enough food on the table.
Mr. SMITH: Hopefully, at least 30 a year. You know, the cost of living is a little bit more than New Orleans here. So we need at least that.
LEVS: He says it's far less than he was making at home.
Amid the struggles, the family has had a big success this week. All four children were enrolled in public schools in McKinney. Eleven-year-old Selwyn Smith Jr. is in sixth grade. He says he already made a couple of friends.
SELWYN SMITH Jr. (Son): Everybody, like, was real friendly I guess because I'm from New Orleans. Everybody wanted to help me out and stuff.
LEVS: Fourteen-year-old Kiante(ph) Smith is in ninth grade. She says her first morning at school on Monday was tough.
KIANTE SMITH (Daughter): I felt a little bit nervous, a little, because I didn't really know nobody. I was just quiet because I didn't know nobody, had nobody really to talk to.
LEVS: She says that changed by the second day.
K. SMITH: Yeah, I got a lot of friends now.
LEVS: She says some of those friends are other new students from New Orleans. Kiante wants to move back someday, but her mother, Chiquita, doesn't see that happening.
Mrs. SMITH: I think it's going to change so much, it just won't even feel the same anymore. It's not going to ever be what it was.
LEVS: Chiquita's mother and grandmother fled to Texas as well. They're in Houston, and she hopes that soon they'll all settle near each other. But Chiquita says while they look ahead, the family struggles every day with how much they all miss home. For NPR News, I'm Joshua Levs.
