It's been nearly three years since the Harrisburg School District Board of Control rescinded the contract of Superintendent Gerry Kohn and two deputies.
Despite the fact that he had 16 months remaining on his contract, Kohn was removed without notice or a hearing. He told abc27 that March night in 2010 how sad he felt at what happened to him.
But Kohn's frown has likely been turned upside down. He will get the last laugh, and a $1.2 million payout, as part of a $2.4 million wrongful termination settlement with the district.
Kohn's two deputies, Julie Botel and Becky Hostetler, and their attorneys will split the other $1.2 million, according to Kohn's attorney, Walter Cohen.
"They fired him without giving him any of the rights he had under the law," Cohen said at his Harrisburg law firm Thursday morning.
Corky Goldstein was on the appointed board that relieved Kohn of his command.
"We did not feel that notice and a hearing were necessary," Goldsten said. "In retrospect, I guess I have to say it's very unfortunate."
Unfortunate for the district and its insurance carrier, a fortune for Kohn, his deputies and lawyers.
Goldstein insists Mayor Linda Thompson did not pressure him or the board that she appointed to fire Kohn. But Thompson did pledge during her mayoral campaign to terminate Kohn, an appointee of former mayor Steve Reed.
"The mayor carried out her personal vendetta against him through her appointed members of the board of control to fire him without meeting his legal and constitutional rights," Cohen said.
Harrisburg's solicitor at the time, James Ellison of Rhoads and Sinon, advised the Board of Control that it didn't have to give Kohn notice or a hearing. It was an opinion shared by then-Senator Jeff Piccola (R-Dauphin). Piccola, the Senate Education Committee chairman, wrote the Empowerment Act.
"Putting aside former Senator Jeff Piccola's interpretation of the Empowerment Act that he was essentially writing, it's still a violation of the constitution," Cohen said.
On Thursday by phone, Piccola said it's still opinion that no hearing was required, but said all legislation is subject to "judicial interpretation."
Goldstein said its lawyer and the state senator who wrote the law made the board feel it was on firm legal ground in rescinding Kohn's contract. He now wishes they had just given Kohn a hearing.
"The Board of Control members were not paid," Goldstein said. "I think we're good people. We thought we were doing the right thing based on everything that we knew and it's unfortunate we had to make this settlement."
But Goldstein said the settlement needed to be made to, "cut our losses."
According to Cohen, the $2.4 million will be paid like this:
- $2 million by the School District's insurance company;
- $250,000 by Rhoades and Sinon, Ellison's firm, or its insurance carrier;
- $125,000 by the Harrisburg School District.
Kohn, who's $235,000 contract was terminated 16 months early, will somehow get $1.2 million. Cohen said it's for unpaid pension and healthcare, but it still doesn't quite add up.
"I learned a long time ago that life isn't fair," Goldstein said. "And when I think about him getting that kind of money, it brings back that that life is not fair."
Cohen counters that a team of lawyers, also being paid big bucks by insurance carriers, failed to remember a basic legal tenant.
"Contract 101, a contract is a contract. It has legal standing," he said.
Kohn, who Cohen says is now living in Florida, is no stranger to suing districts and winning. He did the same thing to a prior employer, the Vineland School District in New Jersey.

Miss Jackson if you're nasty
This jumpsuit is so incredibly faithful and fabulous; I have worn it more than probably any other thing in my closet next to my sheer maxi. It's been by my side since it was purchased for me for my 19th birthday ! As I approach 20 I have yet to stop loving it. Another somewhat staple of mine would have to be bangles; I have quite the collection and intend to gather more ! When it comes to my bangles… more is…. well more. I try and wear at least one daily…I just feel somewhat naked without them even if it's only one.

Maria Sharapova wins hands down when it comes to dollars and cents. The WTA World No. 3 is No. 1 in annual earnings, given her countless endorsements, and overall tour prize money. She has continued to perform well in other WTA tournaments.
However, most of her riches can be attriubuted to the fact that this 6' 2" blonde bombshell has a very marketable look! Thanks to it she bagged a cool $25 million last year alone.

How Many Americans Have Multiple Computers?
Back in 1978, personal computers were expensive pieces of equipment and not something you'd find in most U.S. homes. So when the U.S. Energy Information Administration sought out to determine the frequency of personal computers in homes today, they knew there'd be an increase. But how big was it? How many American homes are working with multiple computers? How many catch the tube on multiple TVs? And how many rechargeable electronic devices do most homes have? Check out the study when you read more.
How many people are rocking double desks (like the one in that top photo from this post) at home? Over 24 million households:
This graph, from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, shows how many TVs, computers and other electronic devices are in American households in 2009. It's a cool chart to see how you measure up to the rest of the country in terms of tech gear.
All That Gear Takes a Lot of Juice
Of course, this study was all about consumption and efficiency. Their goal? To see how much more energy most American families use up using their personal electronics, compared to 1978. Why? To figure out if the increased use of consumer electronics has offset the efficiency gains of major appliances.
What did they find?
Over the past three decades, the share of residential electricity used by appliances and electronics in U.S. homes has nearly doubled from 17 percent to 31 percent, growing from 1.77 quadrillion Btu (quads) to 3.25 quads. This rise has occurred while Federal energy efficiency standards were enacted on every major appliance, overall household energy consumption actually decreased from 10.58 quads to 10.55 quads, and energy use per household fell 31 percent.
So, yeah. Ever since the federal government decided to crack down on the efficiency of appliances, we're all using a lot less energy than before to run our homes. But it's all for nothing, because we keep plugging in power suckers like plasma TVs and recharging three or four personal gadgets every day, so we end up almost back where we started in 1978:
So what can you do at home? Just be aware of exactly how much energy from your home goes into powering your 3 TVs and 2 computers, then act accordingly.
9 Comments
We're a family with 2 adults and 2 kids. Between the 4 of us, we have 7 computers - 3 desktops and 4 laptops.
We have 4 TVs, but since we cut cable out, only one TV is being used because it's connected to one of the PCs that acts as our HTPC.
The only other electronic gadget that would could would be our 2 smartphones.
Rechargeable toothbrush!
2 person household:
3 laptops (~20-30W each in regular use, up to 100W when charging)
2 CCFL backlit TFTs (50W? each)
1 netbook (~15W in use)
Always-On stuff: NAS, Router, Inkjet (~40W in all)
So typical worst-case is less than 200W when we're both home, obviously excluding lighting and stuff like that.
I'd say getting rid of my power-sucking desktops was a good move.
No HDTV? ::head explodes::
So we use less energy for more things. Now only if we can continue to cut back how much energy we use without increasing the number of devices that use energy we would be in the right direction.
I have 2 laptops; one is about 4 years old and not in perfect working order, so it is for emergency use. Wouldn't mind having another new one, though.
Household of two adults, 4 computers, 2 laptops (an awesome 5 year old MacBook, an IBM), 1 Linux desktop and a shuttle connected to the television.
The difference in numbers of households that have computers vs. a rechargeable electronic device (read cell phone) speaks to the "digital divide" in this country. Many people who cannot afford a computer and Internet access will have a cell phone that provides limited connectivity: text, email, social media, web browser.
I feel pretty grateful that our two person household has ample computing power for our needs.
In our living room, right now we have 5 computers, including our NAS.

a bajillion points for dem zevran thighs
so it's zevran week. (YAY!) and since zevran was basically why i got sucked into dragon age in the first place, and since he's one of my all-time favorite characters in anything ever, this thrills me. especially because i was nothing but a lurker while playing origins, and never joined in on discussions—just sat in my pajama corner, reading threads and fic and staring at art and adoring everything from afar, without actually contributing to any of it. it makes me sad that such things passed me by at the time and i never dove in, but now this will be my attempt to do something i have always wanted! …which is write about zevran! payroo held my trembling, sweating antivan hand throughout all this. it is all her fault!
Five Things That Never Officially Happened in Antiva
Coming back was troublesome—but that was a literal assessment, a physical one, and not in the general sense of physicality that Zevran preferred. There were storms that rocked the boat—also not the general sense of boat rocking that Zevran preferred—and sent the galleon off course for a time, while Zevran felt the lash and sting of salt water against his skin, against the heat that same skin held from the sun.
This was Fereldan weather, not Antivan, yet it followed him to the shores of Antiva City all the same, the old warmth of young arms missed especially in the night—physical assessments and boat rockings aside.
Then, the bounty of the docks and the stench of leather opened its arms, and Zevran realized it was possible to come back, even if it was not easy. Three old friends attempted to kill him that first night; yet what the sea could not manage, they could not, and from their dying breaths he heard news of the latest attempt on the Warden's life.
As though any could manage it, he thought, and laughed to himself, which troubled his enemies—keeping them on their toes even when they were trussed up tight was itself a fine tactic—though there was something in Zevran's chest also trussed, like a Feastday goose, an old Fereldan custom that had become colloquial, if not natural.
'The difficulty, my old friends,' he told them, testing the tip of a gifted dagger against the tip of a gifted leather glove, 'is not that the Crows lack imagination—ha ha, no; it is simply the same imagination they display time after time, the same targets, the same methods… You see my disappointment, yes?'
Officially in love with Zevran week because of this post, ugggh I just love, love, love how you struck such a nice balance with Zevran's dark background without actually, you know, making it over the top. But this entire fic was just so dark, the imagery of the Warden and Zevran watching the murder of crows flying away was so striking and it's going to stick with me for a while.
Also poor Zevran spending who knows how long on his own trying to deal with his own problems with only a cat for company? Heart was breaking for him, but of course everything ended with a nice high note with the Warden and Zevran reuniting.
I am just so torn between Zevran and Morrigan now.

Kids & Money
Teaching your kids to manage their own money is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give them.
Unless they learn responsible money management at home—they just won't learn them. Grade schools and high schools aren't teaching thrifty money management skills, and they definitely won't learn it in college (where student loans are the norm). So if you want your kids to learn to handle money wisely, you've got to teach them. But don't worry, we've created and fine-tuned a workable and flexible system for you to use with your kids. It's something that's worked well for our family for more than 15 years and it will work for you too!
It's called

The MoneySmart Kids
A great system to train kids of any age
Teaching Kids About Money
(CD Kit—Mailable or MP3—Instantly Downloadable formats)
This is a kid tested money management system that works! Since 1995 our kids and hundreds of others have been the "test market" for this system. (Watch a video about it at the bottom of this page). In the video they mention one of our kids having more than $22,000 in the bank . . . she has more now!
This system teaches basic money management skills while encouraging good attitudes about chores and school. Younger kids divide their earnings into three different envelopes for: Giving, Saving and Spending.
We teach the older kids to use a portion of their "earnings" to purchase their own clothes and eventually other things like: summer camps, sports and auto insurance.
Giving them their own money to manage, completely eliminates the "gimmes" for $100 sneakers and other things that kids typically "hit-up" their parents for. The system is flexible enough to be tailored to the specific habits that you want to reinforce with your kids.
Abbey (above), at age 9, loved to save, give and, of course, spend the money she earned. She's now almost 18 years old and still using the money management skills we taught her. Her new goal—going to college without student loans . . . and she's well on her way!
In this live, 90 minute recording, you'll not only learn how we developed and implemented our kids and money training system, but you'll even hear from four of our five kids as the audience peppers them with questions.
This is a perfect companion to the MoneySmart Kids Financial Training Kit.

Teaching Kids About Money
For younger kids
The MoneySmart Kids Kit and envelopes are suitable for children ages 8 and up. Younger kids can participate in the program, but we recommend using a 3-part bank rather than envelopes with a ledger system on them.
We used a 3-compartment bank with our younger kids. Try one of these 3-part banks with kids eight years old and younger.
Economides Kids and their money
This is a great video about our kids and money system—you'll get to hear our kids talk about their goals and what they've bought with their own money.
This interview was aired on our local
For the past year, we've been asking parents around the world what they've been doing to teach their kids to manage money. Here are some of the responses:
Traci wrote: My kids have watched me coupon and budget our money every day they have been on this earth. I have happily been frugal with our money forever. For me the "How little can I spend to feed my family a healthy, well balanced and natural diet" is a game I play with vigor! My 14 year old is getting his first job this summer, and he has asked me how to best manage his money that he earns so that it will "do the most for him".... ahhhhh, the sweet smell of success!!! (It smells almost as good as from scratch pancakes and homemade syrup!)

Is it too late to start
I have seen many of your videos and what you present in teaching kids about money is fantastic. I am guilty of being a parent who gives things to their kids and have even gone without so that my child wouldn't. I would love for my son to have money smarts before he is on his own in this world. He just turned 12. He hasn't been required to do chores, received and allowance or anything of the kind. Is it too late for me to start trying to teach him to earn, manage and understand money and spending with your system? I kick myself for not doing it sooner but hope that I still have time. Thanks!
Kids Savings vs. Spending
Is this information in the moneysmart family system book? I am curious what my kids should be "saving" for at 5 & 6 yrs old. I have recently come across your book that my sister gave me and I have used a lot from the book and it has really helped me turn our finances around and be excited for the future. We have tried to do the Dave Ramsey stuff for many years, now the combination of both and me working on it more and praying about it, it has finally clicked and it's going to work. Now to get the kids going in the same direction with their money. Which they always seem to have WAY too much due to grandparents who give them too much $!
Quick question: Are younger kids (under 9) suppose to use their savings category to save up for something personal such as a video game or should this come from their spending category? If from spending, what is the savings category used for? Thanks in advance!
Digital version of these files?
I was wondering if you would consider offering the files for purchase without the envelopes? Thank you for your consideration ~ Kristi

Item # LEKD1218 |
Customer Rating: Read 2 reviews |
Dual aluminum and carbon construction, streamlined grips and height adjustability make LEKI Instructor Nordic walking poles ideal for advanced fitness walkers. High-performance wrist straps and fitness-specific rubber walking tips equip the Instructor with the features needed for aerobic activity.
Rapidly growing in popularity in the United States, Nordic walking is a fresh approach to fitness. Started by the Finnish cross-country ski team to maintain conditioning during snow-less summer months, Nordic walking burns at least 20 percent more calories than regular walking. Two specially designed poles are used in a manner that mimics cross-country skiing, swinging to match each step you take and working your upper body while you walk. Nordic walking poles have a narrower grip than traditional trekking poles and feature form-fitting wrist straps and tapered rubber tips designed specifically for fitness walking.
LEKI utilizes lightweight anodized aluminum in the upper shaft of the two-section Instructor and constructs the lower shaft from ultra-light carbon. By utilizing carbon, LEKI reduces the overall swing weight of the poles while the aluminum increases overall durability.
Nordic walking subjects your wrists to a great amount of repetitive stress. The Instructor's Trigger Shark grips incorporatee woven straps designed to help alleviate this issue. Completely hugging your wrist and hand, the trigger straps provide secure support and help to absorb the shock caused by the impact of each stride. An integrated click-release enables you to fully adjust the straps and disengage them from the poles when you need your hands free. When you're ready to go again, simply pop the straps back onto the grips and you can be on your way without any need for readjusting. The textured cork grip provides a firm, tactile handhold and reduces the sweat and tenderness caused by less forgiving grips.
Designed to deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections of Instructor poles, LEKI's carbide flex tips greatly increase the longevity of your poles. These tips are ideal for use on gravel or slick surfaces. Press-fit rubber Nordic walking tips are included for optimal grip, support and stability on pavement. These tips should always face towards the back, behind you, allowing you to "push off" more efficiently and increasing your upper body workout.
LEKI Instructor Nordic walking poles are sold in pairs.

Likes: These have been a great blessing! I ordered these in March 2012 after suffering from a Traumatic Brain Injury from a car wreck. My therepist suggested these for stability and balance. I have used them all year and they have been exceptional. I also have had some back issues and these poles help to strengthen back and reduce the jolts when walking.
Dislikes: Can not wear thick gloves in winter as I have large hands. I am usually fine though with thinner gloves.

I tried this eye cream on an off for two weeks as I was given a sample and cannot use Retin-A. This product claims that their natural alternative to Rentin-A, something in the Quercetin & Oak, works miracles... Well, after finally purchasing this product and using it everyday, twice a day, within 3 days my eyes were red, dry, I developed hives around my eye and face as well as white bumps around my eyes. I looked like I had the plague and my skin burned and felt like it was going to fall off. After seeing my dermatologist, she took one look at the ingredients and told me to get rid of this and gave me something to start calming down my skin while the reaction had to run it's course ( I took Benadryl for a week or more).
Do not use this product unless, say, you have skin made of steel under your eyes.
Eye creams should not sting or make your eyes water. I also saw no improvement with dark circles, puffiness and filling in fine lines. A total waste.
Plus it smells terrible.
I really didn't like this product, first of is the fragrance. Its so strong and perfumy, i thought Korres is a "natural" brand?! Fragrances in skincare really bothers me. I'd opt for fragrance free any time.
Its a light, white fluid, for those of you would like light texture, you would like it. Sinks into my skin quickly. I on the other hand liked heavier textures because i have pretty dry undereyes with fine lines.
I purchased a 7ml sample size from ACW, liked the packaging but not sure if it would be the same as the full size. It comes in a squeeze tube with a long small nossle which i love.
Overall i don't feel it did anything for my undereyes and will not repurchase.
I have been using this cream in a trial size which is 7 ml (0.24 fl.) for a month. So far I didn't notice any difference with my crows feet, but it does moisterize. I like that it absorbs very quickly but doesn't leave my skin dry, however I will not by a full size, because I think there are other better products out there.
I haven't been using this long enough to see if it will really make wrinkles diminish or not, but I love that it is rich and creamy and soaks in nicely. Does not feel greasy after just a few minutes. I always put it on at night, and my undereye area always feels nice and firm and smooth in the morning. I like that it feels substantial, not watery. It spreads out well, too, so it seems the little jar lasts a long time. I get mistaken for being much younger than 33 all the time, so something must be working well!
Stung my eyes - which are by no means sensitive! Of the dozens of eye creams I've tried this is only one of two that made my eyes water uncontrollably. It happens no matter how far (up to 1cm!) from my eye I put it... So basically, it can't be close enough to actually reach the wrinkles and fine lines.
Overall I do like this line of skin care - I do like the texture of this, a gel-cream hybrid that glides easily and doesn't have ridiculous white pigmentation like their Evening Primrose eye cream, but I can't recommend this eye cream. In a side by side test Clinique's All About Eyes kicks its butt for both AM and PM use. (In my opinion it is almost impossible to legitimately test anti aging products unless you're willing to do side by side before and afters after months and months of use!)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this in a pack with a serum so luckily I didn't pay the full price. I didn't find that this eye cream had any positive effects, and if anything I think I noticed more dark eye circles than I have previously had (probably because my previous eye cream worked a lot better than this one).
The packaging and the scent is fine, but the worst thing about this product is that it stings your eyes. I don't have sensitive eyes at all, but I found that if you placed this anywhere close to your eyes it will sting your eyes for a few seconds. To avoid any stinging you almost need to place this only on the tops of your cheeks... which is really annoying since it will barely have any effect.
I am still using this product because I want to use it up, but I would never repurchase this again.. luckily the face serum isnt as bad!
I did a review of the eye cream and serum here http://kitschsnitch.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/korres-quercetin-oak-antiaging-daily.html
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love Korres products so I thought i'd love this eye cream, sadly I don't care for it. It has an odd scent that is not pleasant to me, I would prefer no scent at all. And it seems to irritate my eyes and dry the skin out slightly. Do not touch or rub your eyes my mistake while you have this on! If you get a tiny smidge of this in your eyes the burning is AWFUL. Very powerful eye irritant. I hope you had better luck with this, sadly I have to return it.

Anti-ageing? No. But seriously, show me any eye cream that makes a real difference. I've tried lots and none of them can change the fact that I'm getting older. It's life, deal with it and chalk it up to experience.
As just a moisturizing eye cream, I've been happy with this. It's not that expensive, the pump makes it easy to get just the little bit you need, and it's not greasy. It's not as protective or moisturizing as one or two other creams I've used, but it works well under makeup.
I've been using it for months now, with none of the stinging other reviewers have mentioned. Overall, I find this a good basic eye cream.

This is a nice, lightweight eye cream that's moisturizing for day without being greasy. My eyes are really sensitive, and this eye cream doesn't bother them (except sometimes a little ends up in my eye and it burns). It doesn't get rid of dark circles, but then again, it doesn't claim to. I've noticed with continued use that my undereye area is less puffy and my concealer goes on smoother. Expensive, but you only need a little at a time.

Called the Roof R06 Bamboo, this motorcycle helmet was created by a French designer named Claude Morin and it stands for innovation while proving that technology doesn't always have to be so complicated.
The bamboo fiber is simply braided together and it remains thick and safe enough to meet the European E22-05 standard referring to the protection offered by motorcycle helmets.
In fewer wards, if you are having second thought about wearing this limited edition helmet, you will probably have the opportunity to take some funny pictures of the guy that does wear the thing.

John Garrett returned to the NFL in February of 2007 after a three-year collegiate coaching stint at the University of Virginia under head coach Al Groh. While helping to continue the dramatic production of perennial Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten in Dallas, Garrett also nurtured the depth and talent at the Cowboys tight end position in third-year man Martellus Bennett. In addition to coaching tight ends in 2011, Garrett will also serve as the passing game coordinator.
In 2010, Witten continued to set the bar for the tight ends as he led the team for the fourth straight season with 94 catches - tied for third in team history. He also finished with his third career - second consecutive - 1,000-yard season (1,002). Witten has now topped 60 catches in seven straight seasons - the second tight end in league history to accomplish the feat. Witten has also topped 80 receptions in three consecutive seasons - the second league tight end to do that as well. His five cumulative seasons with 80+ catches tie the second-most 80+ catch seasons by a league tight end. Witten's three 90-catch seasons are the second-most by a tight end in league history and he is just one-of-two with back-to-back 90-catch seasons. Witten also earned his seventh straight trip to the Pro Bowl. Bennett set a single-season career-high with 33 receptions in 2010 to go along with 260 yards. John Phillips' season was cut short as he suffered a torn ACL in the first preseason game and spent the year rehabbing. The combination of Witten and Bennett boasted the league's highest production among a tight end duo as they combined for 127 catches and 1,262 yards.
Garrett's group of tight ends in 2009 was led once again by Witten, who finished with a team-best 94 catches (third in team history) while topping 1,000 yards for the second time in his career (1,030). Witten also earned his sixth consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl - the most trips by a tight end in franchise history. Bennett contributed 15 catches for 159 yards while the rookie Phillips saw most of time as a blocker, finishing with seven catches for 62 yards. Phillips did catch his first career touchdown pass on a one-yard dump in the Wild Card Playoff Game against Philadelphia (1/9/10).
Garrett's continued work with Witten in 2008 allowed the tight end to again lead the team in receptions (81) and finish second in yards (952). While celebrating yet another productive season, Witten earned his fifth consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl to tie Jay Novacek for the most trips to the game by a Dallas tight end. Garrett was also charged with working Dallas' second round draft pick Bennett into the mix, and he showed flashes of his potential as a pass catcher, finishing with 20 catches for 283 yards and four touchdowns. Bennett had a streak of three consecutive games with a receiving score to become just the third rookie in club history to have a touchdown catch in three consecutive games, joining Bob Hayes (twice in 1965) and Antonio Bryant (2002).
The trio of Witten, Anthony Fasano and Tony Curtis formed one of the most solid position groups on the Dallas roster in 2007 with each player making key individual contributions through the course of the season. While earning a trip to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl in 2007, Witten finished the year second among all NFL tight ends (first in the NFC) in both receptions (96) and receiving yardage (1,145). Both totals represented club season records for a Dallas tight end, and his reception total was the second-highest by any Dallas player, at any position, in team history. Among players at all positions in 2007, Witten was 10th in the NFL in receptions and seventh in receiving yardage. The 2007 season marked Witten's first career 1,000-yard receiving year and the first ever by a Dallas tight end. His career-high 15 receptions at Detroit also established a club record for catches in a game - while tying Kellen Winslow's NFL single game mark for tight ends.
Fasano continued his development as a formidable blocker in the running game and a solid compliment to Witten in the two-tight end set. Curtis also carved out a productive role in the short yardage offense and registered three receptions on the year - all of which resulted in Dallas touchdowns.
Garrett served as the Virginia wide receivers coach in all three of his seasons with the Cavaliers, and in 2006, he was handed the additional responsibilities of being Groh's assistant head coach. Prior to entering the collegiate ranks in 2004, Garrett had spent the previous 12 years in professional football, working both on the coaching and player personnel sides for three different NFL clubs.
In 2003 he was a scout for the Cincinnati Bengals after spending the previous two seasons (2001-2002) as a Bengals offensive assistant coach, working mostly with the tight ends.
In 1999 and 2000, Garrett was the quarterbacks coach in Arizona and was charged with guiding the development of Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer. Plummer passed for over 5,000 yards in his two years under Garrett, and by the end of the 2000 season, he became the fastest Cardinal quarterback to reach the 10,000 career passing yard milestone in club history.
Garrett's first tour of duty in Cincinnati was spent exclusively as a member of the Bengals coaching staff from 1995 to 1998. He was the club's wide receivers coach in 1996 and was an offensive assistant who worked regularly with the receivers during the other three seasons.
Garrett's post-playing football career began as a pro personnel assistant for Sam Wyche's Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1992 to 1994. In addition to his personnel duties with the Bucs, Garrett prepared for his coaching career by providing on-field coaching assistance with the receivers during the week while assisting the defensive staff on game days.
After an outstanding Ivy League career as a wide receiver at both Columbia and Princeton, Garrett earned a degree in history from Princeton in 1988. He spent time in the Dallas Cowboys training camp in 1988, before earning a roster spot with the Bengals in 1989. He spent seven weeks on the Buffalo Bills practice squad (1991) after becoming one of the leading receivers for the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football the previous spring.
Garrett is a product of a football family that has enjoyed a long association with the National Football League. His father, Jim, spent 38 years as both a scout or assistant coach in the NFL, and 21 of those years were as a member of the Dallas Cowboys scouting staff. Garrett's brother Jason enjoyed a 12-year career as a back-up quarterback in the NFL including the 1993-99 seasons with the Cowboys and is now the head coach for the Dallas Cowboys. His brother Judd was a practice squad player for the Cowboys 1993 Super Bowl Championship club, and is the Cowboys director of pro scouting.
Born on March 2, 1965, in Danville, Pa, Garrett graduated from the University School in Cleveland, Ohio in 1983. He and his wife Honor have four children - son John Morgan and daughters Honor, Olivia and Caroline.

The Price of Feeling Like a Tool Doesn't Come Cheap
Lets get this out of the way up top: You have gotta have some kind of extra special nuts to need a $131,000 ratchet set in order to tighten them. That didn't come out right. What kind of nuts are you going to tighten with a $131,000 ratchet set? Hmm. How about this one: What kind of nut buys a $131,000 ratchet set, and what does he or she tighten or loosen with it?
Ya know, while no one could be quite happy with any of those lines, the point is clear. This ratchet set is priced more than a whole SnapOn Parts truck full of tools, and we want to know the reason.
Could it be the 5 star rating from two reviewers, or the accolades that it works in tight places? Perhaps its the Chrome-Molybdenum Steel, or the "Gearless ratchet design for smooth operation and less than 3 degree sweep make these ratchets ideal for confined areas." But not even the 1/4″ and 3/8″ drive or the Re-usable storage tray would be enough to tempt us to spend anything over $25.
In fact, one of the sweetest things about a ratchet wrench is the sweet clicking sound it makes as it backs up for another twist. Whats the point of a gearless design, if there's no clicking? And if there's no clicking, what's the point of taking that bolt off in the first place? Maybe once you get the whole thing apart you will discover one of two things: "A" its gonna cost you more in parts to fix the thing than its worth, or "B" now that its all apart its clear that you are in way over your head on this one, and you would have been better off just letting your wife take it to the dealer and let them repair it.
So what if that slimy salesman who sold you that hunk of junk in the first place is always flirting with your wife. He's only trying to sell you another car, as if you are some kind of sucker. Likely he plays everyone's wife that way. Sure, he probably lands a few of em. And why does she always smile back at him? Doesn't she see what he's trying to do. You wouldn't have bought that clunker in the first place if she hadn't talked you into it, and at the time it seemed like she was only trying to impress him. Why? Maybe she likes him. Yeah, that pushy salesman is just her type too, snotty little comments about our budget and my credit rating. So what he drives that Lexus. A guy like that can drive any car on the lot he wants. Maybe that's the plan, when she brings in the car for repair, he'll take her out for a "test drive" in his Lexus with the big back seat. Right. And when I catch them together, I'm going to stick this ratchet set right up his …..

Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You should not plan on trying to test RAM while running Linux and virtual memory is active. Another reason is that the kernel will lock down the memory it occupies, so that RAM would never get tested.
RAM has to be tested before the Linux kernel is loaded and executed.
U-Boot has a memory tester, and supports an assortment of architectures.

Colour trademarks in the fashion industry
Just one day before the start of New York Fashion Week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit gave some much-needed comfort to the fashion industry by ruling in the legal battle between French footwear designer Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent that Louboutin's famous red lacquered sole deserves trademark protection. But the court limited Louboutin's trademark protection to red soles that stand out in contrast to the rest of the shoe. As a result, the court denied Louboutin's application for injunctive relief to stop YSL from selling red monochrome versions of its Tribtoo platform pumps, complete with red sole.

Go Time!
You can get it, though hard it may seem now …
You can get it if you really want –
You can get it if you really want –
You can get it if you really want –
But you must try, try and try, try and try –
You'll succeed at last."
- Jimmy Cliff, "You Can Get It If You Really Want" (video after post)
It seems only fitting that as I'm gearing up to spend an entire day dancing under the scorching sun, a classic reggae song should serve as my sendoff.
Western States, here I come.
Obviously, I have no clue what lies in store for me over the 24 (or more) hours of race weekend. It could be epic, it could be crazy … or it could be epically crazy. I might have a fantastic day and night, or I might come completely unraveled (have I mentioned my lack of heat training?) far sooner than I anticipate. Surprises may lurk around every bend in the trail, and I have no idea what my reaction will be.
What I do know is that I'm looking forward to every minute of it.
There's simply no way you can anticipate a race for almost two full years and feel anything but excitement when the time finally comes. I'm not scared, or anxious, or nervous … just bouncing off the walls ready to actually DO this thing. Whatever happens, happens – but I'll be grateful to finally experience race day instead of just carrying the idea of it in my head every single day.
On a related note: whatever does happen to me out there, you can follow along in something fairly close to real time on the Western States 100 webcast. Each runner has his or her own page, and mine is right here. You can also check out the main webcast page to get updates on the race that develops in the front of the pack while the majority of us are struggling just to stay upright and maintain forward motion.
The race starts at 5AM on Saturday. If you drop in on me online, send some good vibes my way through the computer screen – because I might need every manner of assistance I can get.
I want this race. I really really want it. I'll try and try and try to make it as great an experience as possible. By Sunday morning, we'll find out if I succeed at last.

If there is one thing that Americans love as much as they love their NFL football it is their fantasy football and it appears that Denver Broncos TE, Julius Thomas, will be the first waiver wire sensation of the 2013 season.
It happens every season. Week 1 kicks off and some unknown player has a breakout game, scoring loads of points and making themselves the most coveted pickup for fantasy buffs for Week 2.
In 2012, it was Dallas Cowboys WR, Kevin Ogletree. Like the Broncos, the Cowboys opened the season and like Thomas last night, Ogletree came out of nowhere, catching 8 balls for 114 yards and two touchdowns. By the time the game was over, the waiver claims for Ogletree were already coming in. As is often the case, however, Ogletree turned out to be a fantasy bust. The next week against the Seattle Seahawks, Ogletree caught only one pass for 26 yards. He finished the season with an unimpressive 32 receptions for 436 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Thomas entered last nights game with pretty low expectations. ESPN's fantasy experts only projected Thomas to score two points last night and had this to say about the former basketball player turned TE:
Thomas was arrested in August for failing to appear for a traffic offense, the Denver Post reports.Spin:
Thomas is expected to make his first start at tight end for the Broncos on Thursday against the Ravens, so having this news come out now certainly can't help him mentally prepare for the game. While he's starting ahead of Jacob Tamme (quad), it's tough to see him have a big performance given the other receiving options available to quarterback Peyton Manning.
It is safe to say that Thomas exceeded expectations. Peyton Manning found the TE five times for 110 yards and two TDs.
The question will be whether or not Thomas can continue to repeat his performance.
We think the answer is probably yes. Thomas is lucky enough to be part of a dynamic offense that features Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas and some guy named Peyton Manning. Old Man Manning tossed 7 touchdowns last night and so long as he continues to play at that level, there should be plenty of targets to go around for Thomas (Julius) to get his.
If you have a high waiver priority, it is time to put a claim in on Julius Thomas.

NFL talent evaluators don't have a consensus on the best player in the draft.
The Detroit Lions might very well have zeroed in on Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford as the top overall pick, but according to several general managers around the league, they could easily choose from among five different players.
» Mock draft central | All-time mock
» Draft discussions | Position rankings
» On the Beat: Picks 1-8 | 9-16 | 17-24
» Gil Brandt's hot 100 | Pro days
Besides Stafford, other players who are considered legitimate possibilities for the choice are Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith, Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry, Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji, and Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo.
That wasn't the case a year ago, when the Miami Dolphins selected offensive tackle Jake Long No. 1, or in 2007, when the Oakland Raiders made quarterback JaMarcus Russell the top pick. It wasn't even the case in 2006, when the Houston Texans surprised everyone by using the first choice on defensive end Mario Williams rather than on running back Reggie Bush because both were universally seen as the top two players in the draft.
But this year, opinions are all over the lot. Not only is it a struggle to get multiple general managers or college scouting directors to agree on a clear-cut best overall player, but there also are discrepancies on who the best players are at each position.
It's a large part of the reason the NFL has invited nine prospects to New York City to attend the draft at Radio City Music Hall. Last year, there were six, and they were taken with the first six choices. The likely No. 1 pick will be among this year's group, but where they fall is anyone's guess.
"You don't have your eight or 10 where you say, 'I know these guys are going to be taken off the board (in the first 10 picks),'" said an NFL general manager who requested anonymity. "I don't even know if the two quarterbacks (Stafford and Mark Sanchez) are going off (in the first 10)."
Said another GM of a team choosing in the 20s: "In the past, I've felt like, one through 10, you're feeling there are very few shortcomings on these players. I'm struggling if I'm sitting in one of those positions to pull somebody off the board. I feel much more comfortable about being in the 20s than I were to be in the single digits this year."
A composite of how league talent-evaluators assess each of the players who could end up at the very top of the draft:
» Stafford: Tremendously strong arm, excellent accuracy, a super-quick release, and mobility ... Inconsistency raises some questions, as has occasions when he has attempted throws that he shouldn't while being pressured ... Entering the draft as a junior, which has many GMs questioning his readiness for the NFL.
» Curry: Best of the linebackers and perhaps most talented athlete in draft ... Enough versatility to play in a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme ... Receives high marks for strength, toughness, and range ... Might not be enough of a difference-maker to warrant Lions' choice ... At 6-foot-plus, lacks ideal height and isn't tremendously explosive.
» Smith: Probably has the fewest drawbacks of any prospect in the draft, although not rated dramatically higher than Virginia tackle Eugene Monroe ... Shows remarkable athleticism for an offensive tackle ... Strong enough be a highly effective run-blocker.
» Raji: Best at what is generally regarded as one of the better and deeper positions in the draft, which is rare for defensive tackle ... Has the makings of an ideal anchor for a 3-4 scheme.
» Orakpo: Probably the best of a fairly limited group of defensive ends, although no one sees a consistently dominant pass-rusher in the bunch ... Doesn't always show quite as much explosiveness or aggressiveness as GMs would like to see from a potential top-five pick.
According to GMs, the inability to clearly identify the best player or 10 best players in the draft is a clear sign of a general lack of exceptional talent in the college crop.
"If 10 (GMs) tell you (otherwise), I think five of them will be BS-ing you," a GM said. "For instance, there's not a slam dunk at corner. You might say (there's not a slam dunk) at linebacker, except for Curry. And that's a good position, actually.
"I can hear this (being said) in somebody's war room during the first round. 'I'm not crazy about Brian Orakpo, but if he's the best at a position I need, let's take him. I've got questions about the corners, I've got questions about the linebackers, right down the line. But I've got to pick somebody."
It figures to be a challenging draft, especially with teams seeking a true first-round value. It won't be surprising to see many clubs using the full 10 minutes allotted each team to make a choice in Round 1.
Some of that will result from attempts to trade down. However, most is likely to result from struggles to arrive at a consensus organizational decision on the pick.
"My motto has always been, 'There are good players and we're going to find them,' and I still mean that," a GM said. "I just can't say it quite with the conviction that I have in the past. They're there, but it's just not as clear a picture as some other years.
"Anybody who wins the office pool has got to be a lucky person."

WASHINGTON — President Obama, speaking from the hallowed place where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 50 years ago, called on the nation Wednesday to build upon the accomplishments of racial justice and complete the journey to economic equality.
In some ways, the moment marked a dream fulfilled, with the nation's first black president embodying how far the country has come. As Obama paused and looked at the masses from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he sought to link the history that he celebrated to the hope that he promised in his presidential campaigns.

Also not o.k. in SF: soda.
SF, still the smugest most fucked up city in America.
In the nearly 100 years that the Bay to Breakers race has been run in San Francisco, it has progressively become more and more a display of how far its participants can stuff the envelope as it pertains to tawdry, alcohol-fueled behavior as they brazenly flaunt the conventions of societal norms and what constitutes acceptable public behavior. Runners are allowed to show up looking as ridiculous as they like – as evidenced by three ladies above, who are dressed up like gigantic clitorises-es (clitori?). Or if costumes aren't your bag, runners have been well-know to show up in varying stages of undress – even running the race butt-ass naked (as evidenced in the below, rather awkward photo. Further, if you require further evidence of what kind of naked anarchy that ensues, do a Google Image Search for "Bay To Breakers" but be forewarned: even with "Moderate Search" turned on, you will be quite surprised what shows up).
But all that is about to change come next year. The organizers of the race, which is held annually on the third Sunday of May, are attempting to corral and eradicate some of the most blatant violations of taste and decorum which generally occur at Bay to Breakers. Don't get me wrong, you can still show up nude and let your freak flag fly (or flop, or sag, depending on your gender and/or level of physical fitness), but it's time for the community to stamp its foot squarely down and say enough's enough and put an end to the more off-putting activities which typically occur during the race:
That's right: no more drinking!
Via The San Diego Union-Tribune:
But organizers of the notoriously bawdy San Francisco footrace, which marks its centennial next May, declared a last call for alcohol Wednesday, challenging the 92,000 people who descend on the 7½-mile course every year to show up sober.
After fielding complaints from residents along the route, losing a corporate sponsor and transporting 30 intoxicated people to the hospital this year, organizers of the nation's 10th largest race were hoping to end the tradition of drinking, spokesman Sam Singer said.
Violators of the new ban will be arrested, cited and fined, said Angela Fang, the Bay to Breakers general manager.
"We want to have all the fun, the exuberance, the nakedness, but we don't want anybody to get hurt," said Singer.
Damn drunks stumbling around ruining all the nakedness and Caligula-inspired revelry. Yes, maintaining the free-wheeling, good-time-having nature of the event is crucial to preserve what the race stands for, which does indeed include gratuitous displays of public nudity. But here's my question: drunk or sober, if you're running down a paved street as naked as the day you were born, aren't the chances of experiencing an uncomfortable injury quite high? I mean, the welts to one's thighs alone should be enough to reconsider the wisdom of it all, let alone taking a nasty spill. Even the most minor case of road rash to your junk cannot be comfortable, right?

Also not o.k. in SF: soda.
SF, still the smugest most fucked up city in America.
@Upstate Underdog, Clearly you've never visited my underground Pepsi speakeasy.
@Rick Chandler, Is there a secret knock.
A sober Bay to Breakers would be like partying with a reformed alkie.
UU, why do you hate me?
@phillas, I don't hate you just the loss of freedom of choice.
"Runners are allowed to show up looking as ridiculous as they like – as evidenced by three ladies above, who are dressed up like gigantic clitorises-es (clitori?)."
What's really silly is when a grown up doesn't know the difference between a clitoris and a vulva.
Rayme: I think their heads are the body part in question. Clever, however I must say I find it amazingly improper for what should be a family-friendly event. At least it used to be. Yeah, there were occasional streakers, and silly, somewhat poor-taste costumes. But never something that rude and unnecessary. Makes SF look even more ludicrous than ever.

I own six.
This is my favorite wig. So much so, that I own six in the 3329. I frequently receive compliments from strangers. The color and style are often admired. My two sisters didn't know I had been wearing this wig since last year until I revealed my secret ! They thought I had changed hairstylists. This is the look I have always wanted but was never able to achieve from my stylist. I first purchased this wig from a home shopping network, but they were constantly out of stock. I'm thrilled I found this company. I am ready to purchase two more of these wigs to replenish my supply.
Way too much hair for me
This is a cute style, I got it in R3025S+ Glazed Cinnamon and the color was perfect. It's a beautiful flip shoulder length bob, but the style just didn't do anything for me. Way too much hair for me. The team at wigs.com helped with an exchange and all went smoothly.

#2. I am incredibly biased when it comes to this subject.
I've seen plenty of the "spliced" photos with an individual who took a photo with a character as a child & as an adult.
Plus some of the meet & greets at Disneyland are more than just photos. The characters (when applicable) actually talk & spend a few moments with visitors.
Thor & Cruella can both be hilarious when interacting with guest.
Tip for all you Disney Visa Cardholders at Disneyland and at EPCOT: You can take multiple pictures with Mickey and a couple of other characters (usually Minnie and Goofy) and choose one of the pictures as a 5 x 7 for FREE!
Snow White was speechless.
Meet and greats are primarily for the kids, and therefore if you're taking kids to the parks they are a must (if that's what the kids want). Why bother taking your kids if you're not going to make sure they're going to have the time of their lives.
This year we accidently took a photo with Ariel mistaking her line for the ride line. She was so nice! :D

Local River Endangered
A nonprofit conservation organization named the Santa Clara River one of the country's most endangered rivers....
The Santa Clara River is one of the last remaining natural rivers in California, and is becoming endangered because of the developments planned to be built along its banks.
One of the major projects contributing to this label is a 20,000 home project called "Newhall Ranch," headed by developer Newhall Land and Farming. A spokesperson from Newhall Land assures Santa Clarita residents that all necessary steps have been taken to protect the river.

How to Bend Water with Your Stereo
Fungus Packaging Might Replace Plastic
St. Patrick's Day by the Numbers
A group of European scientists have activated a World Wide Web designed specifically for robots, so now they too can spend their free time watching cat videos.
Scientists collaborating on the European RoboEarth project, intended to help robots better understand the human world, recently activated a portion of Rapyuta, an online Internet database for robots. Machines can access the Web-based service (which is named after a Hayao Miyazaki film) to obtain information and instructions for dealing with problems. This way, robots encountering events or hurdles for the first time do not have to learn how to overcome them on their own, but can access a hive-mind compilation of knowledge acquired by other automata.
The scientists theorize that Rapyuta can eventually aid drones, self-driving automobiles, and other robots to better and more safely navigate the world while remaining mobile and affordable.
"On-board computation reduces mobility and increases cost," making this cloud-based information network considerably more cost-effective, Dr. Heico Sandee, RoboEarth program manager, told BBC News.
However, io9 notes two inherent problems with transferring robo-thinking to the Web. First, cyber security will need to be incredibly robust because anything connected to the Internet can be hacked. Additionally, robots might encounter the same problem humans might have when browsing the Web: finding faulty information.
How to Bend Water with Your Stereo
What happens when you run a stream of water and expose it to a loud 24 hertz (Hz) sine wave? It bends and contorts in amazing and beautiful ways. In a new video, science illusionist Brusspup shows how an enterprising do-it-yourselfer can manipulate water flow in remarkable ways.
"Run the rubber hose down past the speaker so that the hose touches the speaker. Leave about one or two inches of the hose hanging past the bottom of the speaker," Brusspup explains. "Secure the hose to the speaker with tape or whatever works best for you. The goal is to make sure the hose is touching the actual speaker so that when the speaker produces sound (vibrates) it will vibrate the hose."
Although the results may be difficult to see with the naked eye, setting a camera to capture the action at 24 frames per second and at a high shutter speed can yield an impressive water-warping video. Check out the mesmerizing project below:
Fungus Packaging Might Replace Plastic
Here's an eco-friendly way to manufacture packaging: mushroom technology. In collaboration with an innovative packaging company, researchers are experimenting with fungi to fabricate a variety of natural packaging materials that may replace Styrofoam one day.
Mycelium – also known as fungi roots – are the key to the compostable material. When added to agricultural waste (plant matter and cotton gin waste, for example), the mycelium digest the material and acting as a biological glue, bonding the natural elements in a "cohesive mat," a process that can take less than five days. Once they are dried to prevent further fungi growth, the biomaterials can then be molded into shapes. The result is fungi packaging.
Steve Horton, a biology professor at Union College, is leading a group of researchers to manipulate fungi to suit various packaging applications, many of which are available at Ecovative Design. He explains that the packaging can completely degrade biologically, thanks to the fact that it's created with natural materials. Just think of the possibilities.
Here's Professor Horton explaining the process:
St. Patrick's Day by the Numbers
This Sunday, millions of people in the U.S., Ireland, and all around the world will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Amid the parades, parties, and green beer, it's important to remember the long and rich history of this holiday, as well as the vast scale of the celebrations.
A new infographic, courtesy of History.com, presents some of the fascinating statistics underlying St. Patrick's Day. For example, it takes 40 pounds of dye to color the Chicago River green, and St. Patty's Day spending can reach up to $4.14 billion in the U.S. alone. Surprisingly, 34.7 million Americans claim Irish ancestry today, more than seven times the current population of Ireland itself.
Have a great weekend, folks.

April 12, 2006
Albany-- There's a new addition at the Parks at Chehaw with a pretty name quite opposite to her past.
Making her name known at the park is 11-week-old Daisy, an American Black Bear. The park got the playful cub when she was only a week old. She was found in the Blue Ridge Mountains after developers accidentally bulldozed her den.
Daisy's mother was seriously injured and a second cub died. Daisy made it and Chehaw officials say she'll bring lots of joy to park visitors.
"We're absolutely ecstatic. This is a great introduction to our collection and it's great experience for our staff. They have the ability to to learn from these animals as well as they can learn from us so it's a great experience," says assistant curator Joseph Darcangelo.
You can see Daisy for only a short while on Saturdays from 11 to 1 and Sundays between 2 and 4. It'll take about a year for her to be introduced to the other three bears at Chehaw.

Deborah Brevoort, the author of our just-premiered play The Comfort Team, talked about the process of play development and what it's like writing a play for VSC.
When NASA was given the job to land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth, one of the Apollo engineers remarked that they were entering a nine-year period that would be characterized by nonstop failures and mistakes. Success would only be achieved after every possible mistake had been made and eliminated. In fact, the engineers coined an expression about this that became their motto: Failure is a tool for making progress.
This principle applies not only to engineering but to artistic endeavors. It is a description of the creative process: it's what happens during rehearsals for a play and what happens when you write a play, too.
When I was working on The Comfort Team, I kept getting it wrong: not only the objective, historical facts like the proper military acronyms, and the ranks, and the titles, but the bigger things, too, like the characters and the situations and the dialogue. If something could be wrong, it was.
About a year and a half into the project, I picked up the phone and called Chris Hanna to discuss my latest draft.
"I hate this," I said.
"I do too," he answered.
I was on draft #3 and the script was off by a mile. But Chris was unconcerned.
'Don't worry, you'll get it, " he told me. "Just keep writing."
And I did. Gradually, the mistakes fell away. We did a workshop where I got rid of many of them and made some new ones. During rehearsals for the production this fall, I continued to make mistakes and eliminate others. I was cutting and adding lines right up to the opening night—and after opening, too. In fact, I'm still making changes to the play, even though it has ended the run.
What is surprising to me is how few people really understand this process—including people who work in the theatre. In my twenty-five years of being a playwright, I've had to spend a lot of time assuaging the fears and anxieties of producers who don't understand the artistic process, leap to judgment and try to rush their projects to "success" without giving them the requisite steps of failure. Maybe it's because the stakes are so high, and because our work is so public. Egos, careers and money are on the line, after all. But this lack of understanding makes a difficult process even more difficult, and often holds a play back from becoming all it could be.
During the race to the moon, the Apollo engineers were often under siege by Congress, the press and the public for their string of failures. Jim Webb, the director of NASA, ran constant interference with the powers-that-be in order to give his engineers what they needed to succeed, which was, the need to fail. If it were not for Jim Webb, we never would have gotten to the moon.
Chris Hanna is the Jim Webb of Virginia Stage. He knows what a playwright needs to get a play right. Which is, to get it wrong. This is one of the reasons why the work at Virginia Stage is so good. His refusal to bring judgment, fear or anxiety into the process liberates his artists to do what they need to do. Artists do their best work in this kind of atmosphere. It's why I love working here.
It's also why I signed up for another American Soil commission. I am writing a play called Homespun about Martha Washington. I've been writing it for a year. It's a mess. Which means it's on the right track.
Deborah Brevoort
