Springfield Journal Register, date of paper which originally published the following is unknown.
Ann Rutledge, sweetheart of Abraham Lincoln, died Aug. 25, 1835, and was buried in the Goodpasture grave yard (sometimes called Old Concord cemetery), shown above, near Petersburg. Her brother, David, and other relatives were buried beside her. Here she lay until 1890 when an undertaker ambitious to sell lots in his new cemetery, disinterred the dust that remained of her, and removed it to Oakland Cemetery, near Petersburg. Later a granite stone was erected over this second grave, and now people make pilgrimages there, to what purports to be her grave. Abraham Lincoln often visited the original grave.

Leaders of direct action organization say their tactics have already gotten results, are necessary to get all questions fully answered
On June 28, GLBT Texans marched through the streets of Oak Lawn to remember the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellions. Since that time, we've stayed active in the streets to protest the harassment, intimidation and violence against GLBT people.
After the June 28 march, as we listened to speakers in Lee Park talk on holding politicians' feet to the fire and staying active and involved, the North Texas GLBT community began to hear the grim stories coming out about the raid at the Rainbow Lounge.
Those of us with Queer LiberAction had done a lot of the organizing for the march and as we sat listening to speakers talk on the lessons of Stonewall, we knew we had to continue with the fight.
From the march in Dallas, many of us traveled out to the Tarrant County Courthouse to join a rally against the raid at the Rainbow Lounge. We called for another rally in the following days to send the message that we are still active, we are still watching, and we still have demands.
QL members met and did what we do best; we hammered out a direct action plan addressing the violence used against our community at the Rainbow Lounge.
We knew it was going to be a big challenge to organize three events in the next couple weeks, but we also knew that if this wasn't done that these events could easily be forgotten about and ignored.
Hundreds of us showed up at the candlelight vigil in front of the Rainbow Lounge on July 1 to stand in solidarity with Chad Gibson, the young gay man hospitalized after the Rainbow Lounge raid, possibly due to violence used against him by the Forth Worth Police Department and the TABC. We were in grief and shock, but we were resolute that we were not going to allow our North Texas community to return to 1969.
We soon got angry, and knew we had to share that with our neighbors. Queer LiberAction set up its public speaking Milk Box event on July 5 to give North Texans, and particularly witnesses to the raid, an opportunity to share their stories of police harassment and intimidation.
With some 15 speakers from varied backgrounds, approximately 200 in attendance and many media outlets present, we got the attention of our neighbors, the city of Fort Worth, the police department and the TABC.
Our rally and march held on July 12 at the Tarrant County Courthouse was designed to be an event where we would either congratulate the city and TABC on their fine job in righting the wrong of the raid at the Rainbow Lounge, or we would be there just the same, ready to hold our elected officials' feet to the fire and demand justice.
At our rally we posted our demands on the door of the Tarrant County Courthouse. At the end of the rally, hundreds of us took to the streets of downtown Fort Worth and marched thirteen blocks to post the same demands on the doors of the Fort Worth City Hall.
At the largest GLBT march in Fort Worth history, our voice was the loudest and clearest it had been to date.
We were united; we had demands, and we had to speak out knowing justice was on our side.
Given ongoing developments, our current list of demands is below:
• We demand full transparency regarding all independent investigations of both the TABC and the Fort Worth Police Department regarding their conduct during the Rainbow Lounge Raid, early on June 28, 2009.
• We demand a public apology from Fort Worth Police Chief Jeff Halstead to all of the patrons present at the Rainbow Lounge Raid, and to the GLBT community of North Texas, for the assault on our human rights and for his disrespectful and homophobic language and posturing.
• We demand Police Chief Halstead provide full and immediate transparency to the public by waiving the delaying requirement for news media to file open records requests to review police reports.
• We demand that the TABC promptly release all of their officers' reports from the Rainbow Lounge raid to the news media and public.
• We demand that in future operations of this kind, law enforcement officials operate under a presumption of innocence, fully respecting the human rights of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
• We demand that Mayor Mike Moncrief reinstate his apology to our community which he subsequently backed away from after the July 12 City Council meeting.
• We demand Mayor Moncrief seriously begin considering and addressing the legitimate needs and issues of the GLBT community of Fort Worth, including a full-time publicly funded liaison officer to our community.
• We demand full accountability and justice for the excessive and illegal actions of law enforcement officers during the Rainbow Lounge raid.
• We demand all official agencies found responsible for the injuries inflicted on Chad Gibson during the Rainbow Lounge raid stand good for all the medical expenses he has accrued to date, and may in the future, due to their actions.
At the Fort Worth City Council meeting on July 14, one of our demands was met. However begrudgingly, two weeks and two days after the raid the mayor finally apologized for what happened in Fort Worth — but only after Queer LiberAction members called on him to do so.
Queer LiberAction was disappointed that the raid at the Rainbow Lounge was placed dead last on the council agenda.
Given the length of the agenda, the GLBT community was scheduled to wait until the early hours of the morning to address this assault on us.
After 40 years, two weeks and two days of violence and intimidation used by the police against the queer community, we were running out of patience.
Mayor Moncrief and other city officials know very well that stall tactics drive away interest. Ultimately, all that is left of important stories such as the harassment and intimidation used at the Rainbow Lounge become whispers in the middle of the night.
Moncrief et al. knew the city of Fort Worth and his police department were wrong and operated under the assumption that GLBT North Texans were going to sit by passively and accept direction from our political betters. Queer LiberAction members stood up and proudly said that violence against our people will never again become whispers in the middle of the night.
The past several weeks have proven once again that direct action gets results. Though we are glad several of our demands have been met, we know now is not the time to rest.
On Sunday, July 27, QL will set up its Milk box at Houston and Third streets in Fort Worth's Sundance Square beginning at 7 p.m. We will host a public teach-in on Friday, July 31 in order to educate the public on the consequences of homophobia and heterosexism.
Our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights movement comes after a long history of social agitation to advance the rights of oppressed groups. As diverse as we are as GLBT people, we are all unified by the burden of the closet.
In order for us to overcome our oppression and win our full civil rights we must proudly stand up in the tradition of the greats like Martin Luther King Jr., Mohandas Gandhi and heroes within our own movement like Harry Hay and Harvey Milk.
Unlike other oppressed groups, the closet forces us to come out to survive. If we are to survive and prosper in society, we have to stand up and proudly show who we are for all to see.

Leonard Peltier Paris Now!
I don't care for Paris Hilton. In fact, whether or not she goes to jail means nothing to me. I'm not even going to use it as an excuse to argue about the validity of DUI laws or the travesties of our justice system. I wish this whole sordid detail would be relegated to the E! channel and the metro section of the paper, not CNN and the front page.
However, I am an opportunist, and I will gladly and shamelessly self-promote anything which might make me a buck. So head on over to my wife's cafepress store and buy stuff!
The shirts (front & back, multiple shirt styles):
And in true Paris Hilton fashion, a dog shirt and trucker hat…
If you like it, give me a mention at your blog (linking specifically to here, of course)…
3 Comments
I'm in full support of seeing Paris Hilton imprisoned. This is largely unrelated to whatever she did or did not do to deserve it!
Does your dog have a say on the record:
I hope you don't have too many of those on hand, I don't think she will be in jail long enough for you to get them delivered to your customers.

Who wants to win the lottery? Not Harvey Jones...
Ever dreamed of being a millionaire? I bet you have, probably on a Saturday evening, just before your Lottery numbers failed to come up.
Well, think again. Being a millionaire is hell, and being a multi-millionaire is multiples of hell. That's because too much money is poison. And it's a cruel type of poison, because it contaminates the people closest to you.
Scores on the Dawes
Don't believe me? Then look at Angela and Dave Dawes, who have just scooped the Euromillions £101 million jackpot.
Now you, I and pretty much everybody in the country wish we had pocketed that £101 million, not them. But don't turn green, because we wouldn't like to face what they're about to endure.
Instant millionaires, instant enemies
The "lucky" winners face an avalanche of claims from former partners and aggrieved relatives who want a share of that big fat cheque.
Given the size of their win, plenty will be willing to try it on in the courts, says Robin Charrot of George Davies Solicitors, who handles high-value divorces for celebrities and sports people. The bigger the win, the bigger the financial incentive to stir up trouble.
Angela and John's big-hearted decision to make 20 of their friends "sort of millionaires" has backfired, as divorced partners and disgruntled children scramble to claim their share of the windfall.
"Money always brings out the worst in people, and I'm not surprised that everyone is coming out of the woodwork," Charrot says.
The couple look likely to lose more friends than they gain.
Fur coats and nasty tats
Money also brings out the worst in the tabloids: Angela and Dave's taste in clothing and tattoos has been publicly pilloried.
They could have chosen to remain anonymous. That would have spared them the tabloids, but it wouldn't have spared them the family ructions, such as the abandoned son who claims that "If she gave me every penny of her £101m it wouldn't make up for what she's done".
Turn a fresh page
The Lottery has left a trail of family woe. Last year, Nigel Page win £56 million on Euromillions, and was promptly taken to court by his ex-wife, who wanted her share. They broke up a decade ago, but the courts still granted her £2 million.
This underlines the importance of including a "clean break" clause in any divorce settlement, big or small, to prevent shock future claims on your wealth.
Mr Page still has £54 million to play with, so don't feel too sorry for him.
Remember me?
If you are doing the Lottery, make sure it is absolutely clear who is buying the ticket, and who will share in any jackpot. Your spouse, partner, ex, children, love children, suspected love children and anybody who has come into intimate contact with you will be racking their brains to see how they can share in your good fortune.
And if you make some of your friends "sort of millionaires", brace yourself to lose the rest.
Family and friends aren't your only worry. If you're part of a syndicate, you need to set out the rules of engagement very clearly. Syndicates scoop one in four jackpots, so protect yourself from any fallout with a Lottery Syndicate Agreement.
Love is… sharing £101 million
Now the odds are that you're not going to win a million, and nor is any of your family. But even small sums can poison your personal life, and no money at all is even worse.
I recently alerted you to Five things to think about before you make love. Well, here's the sixth. Do you love that person enough to share your Euromillions with them?
Where there's no Will there's a war
As family relationships become ever more muddled, we all have to consider the impact of money on our nearest and dearest. Plenty of families have come to blows over inheritances worth tens of thousands of pounds, let alone tens of millions. Yet less than half of us draw up a Will, leaving our loved ones to slug it out after our death.
The ensuing melee may not end up in the tabloids, but it can still bequeath your family a lifetime of bitterness.
Keep it clean
The "clean break" principle doesn't just protect Lottery winners. It is worth applying in any relationship breakdown, especially if you have a mortgage, bank account or credit cards in joint names. You may have stopped sharing a bed, but you will still be sharing a credit record. If your ex gets any nasty marks on theirs, yours will also suffer unsightly stains.
If you have broken ties with your partner, you might want to subject them to a financial disassociation as well. This could also prevent a disgruntled ex running up debts on your behalf.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a lot of trouble. Remember this next time you fail to win the Lottery. It may be the only consolation you have.

Once Again, Saints Row IV is Denied Classification in Australia!
DENIED! Ouch, once again Deep Silver and Volition's title Saints Row IV has been refused classification in Australia. According to the Classification Board in Australia, the game does not meet the R18+ requirement guidelines. As it turns out, using prescribed drugs as an incentive or reward is a no-no in Australia. Since the title was denied, players will not be able to buy the title, but there will also not be any advertising of the game or demonstrations. Can you say bummer?
The board came together on Monday, July 29, 2013 to address an application that had been sent in by Koch Media to try and get the original decision reversed that was made ten days prior. The reason for the denial then had to do with an alien anal probe weapon and alien drugs that gave the player special powers. A version of Saints Row IV specially tailored for those in Australia has been made and was shown off at PAX Aus. Why Koch wanted the original game to be reviewed once more is a bit hazy, especially when knowing another version has been made that, most likely, omits the alien probe weapon and narcotics.

Disney XD's animated series "TRON: UPRISING" takes place inside The Grid with a cast of characters we mostly haven't seen in either of the Tron movies. The one character who remains is Tron himself, and Bruce Boxleitner is back to speak for Tron. He provides the voice of his electronic character and spoke with us earlier this summer.
CraveOnline: Before Rinzler revealed he was in fact Tron, did you record it differently or have it altered?
Bruce Boxleitner: Yeah, I personally had it altered. No. I came in and did all of that afterwards. They had that rumbling, purring Rinzler thing going which made him kind of more menacing in a way. But yeah, I did all that stuff later in Legacy. Now with "TRON: Uprising" trying to find that voice and try to bring some of that menace into the voice again, because it's going to happen.
This takes place before Rinzler. Not much. He's got this outfit I think you've probably all seen. That black outfit that he's got on is pretty awesome looking. This is before the purring and the rumbling and whatever happens I can't wait to see. We haven't gotten there yet in the animated series, but finding the specific voice for this character in this series was my main challenge throughout this whole thing.
CraveOnline: What's been a treat for you as far as doing the movie in 1982, seeing it have a life that's gone on so long and now it's become a franchise?
Bruce Boxleitner: You just said it. It's not a mystery to me and it was less a surprise than just an absolute joy that what I had been thinking was happening was actually happening, in that it had resonated not just a couple years later, because Tron came and went. Somehow later on, and maybe well into the next decade, towards the end of the '80s and then all the way through the '90s when suddenly we had laptop computers and all these things.
I think it comes right along with the advance of these medias, these things in the computer world which we kind of predicted in its sweet, naive way in the movie, that the age of information suddenly came racing ahead. We actually kind of in a way predicted. Not all science-fiction does that. We actually have a future that we're living. "The Jetsons" lied to us. Remember that. It doesn't look a thing like it.
CraveOnline: Right, 1999.
Bruce Boxleitner: It's supposed to be here now. It's supposed to be happening. We're way past the time. Where's my flying car? Me me and beep beep. "Meet George Jetson." Anyway, I'm totally continually surprised. To be a part of something and for me personally to have the name of it, to have played the title character in this, it's absolutely thrilling.
Like I said, I was doing a lot of science-fiction conventions, "Star Trek" conventions and things like that, and I'll tell you 85-90% of people walking up was all about Tron. I'm going, "Wow, this thing really just keeps coming out." Now the original movie is more popular now than it ever was. It took Legacy for a lot of people who were way too young or weren't around to now rediscover it. I will say what I love about the animated series, it has everything which I loved about Legacy and then adds a little bit more, certainly in the shapes and everything of the characters.
The vehicles are so hot. My God, every time I see a new Tron thing, I go, "I gotta have me one of those." I've got to have that treaded thing, the bike with the tank tread on it. You know that's just to eat up the terrain. That's off roading at its best. That ATV type thing. I wanted Quora's little dune buggy that she had when she picked him up in Legacy and took off over the frontier there. It makes me stay a kid. I like it now more than I did when I did the original one.
The original one was a job, it was great. I got to know Jeff Bridges, it was great, I admired his work but you're right, the job ended, I hung up the tights and I went over to Warner Brothers and worked with Kate Jackson for the next few years on a series. Didn't think anything of it, and then like I said over the years it started, you'd hear rumors. "Well, I think Lisberger could answer that better." That there was a script and there were talks, and then it just died and I said, "Why would you want to do that?" We weren't into that sequel stuff yet.
CraveOnline: What's been your favorite moment from the entire Tron experience?
Bruce Boxleitner: How about the day I got the call that they wanted me? Actually, two but kind of related to that same time. When I was told go online and look at this footage that's just been shown down in San Diego. I had heard there was some little rumbling possible, but I never took any of this seriously because it's always rumors in this town.
When we went and watched that little bit of footage that they shot with Jeff and then surprised it on Hall H which had probably about 5000 people in it and you heard the uproar of, "Oh my God it's Tron!" Somebody very strategically had placed their iPhone in there. Yeah, right. They're not supposed to have any phones in there or any cameras. Yeah, you heard these people start screaming and I'm told that's what greenlit the movie. The reaction on that little bit of footage when they were all down there, Joe Kosinski and all of them.
Then my favorite part, to answer your question specifically, is I got a phone call from [Producer] Sean Bailey and [director] Joe Kosinski. One, would I want to be in the movie. I said, "No. Right, Absolutely." And then two, would I want to come to work a little earlier than everybody else and would I be willing to screen test with all the young prospective hopefuls that were going to play the younger roles. I worked with five guys. It was five or six guys and six girls and we narrowed it down.
I did that in November, we didn't start shooting until April so it was way ahead of time. So I've been linked with it that long but my favorite moment was them personally calling, not somebody calling an agent, not someone sending an e-mail. Something personal. That's what I loved about Sean. They actually said, "We would really very much want you to be in this with us. We have to have Tron in this." Then the rest was just fabulous. The working process of all the scripts that we did and we rehearsed and rehearsed. We rewrote and rewrote.
It was a process was always, the whole cast was involved and I was very proud to say that my two favorite choices, my personal choices were [cast.] And you've gotta remember, I hadn't done anything in front of Disney, any of these people in years, so I thought I was screen testing a little bit myself. I thought, "What if I suck? What if I really suck in this thing?" They're going to go, "Wait a minute, we have to rethink this whole thing." But Garrett and Olivia, and I did it with some big names, young names all wanting to be in this thing and they all worked very hard to do it.
CraveOnline: And how about on the TV show?
Bruce Boxleitner: Now we have Elijah [Wood]. He and I, the only time we worked together, we only worked once and that was when we kind of auditioned this to the powers that be, who were all sitting in a room on the other side of the glass from us. Of course they came to me for Tron, but what if my voice sucked? What if it just didn't work right?
So I went through this all over again now for this series. I more or less felt like I was auditioning because I had everybody and their agents all sitting on the other side there and Elijah and I, is this going to work? Is there any chemistry?
Thankfully I think there is. I think it's done real well so it all worked out and that's the only time we actually worked together. Maybe one other time he happened to be in town, otherwise I think he was in New Zealand doing The Hobbit. I was off doing another series, which didn't make the schedule. "GC Whatever That Thing Was." Anyway, so that's fine. It was kind of interesting. I'm finally going to meet the cast today. I just met Paul Reubens.
CraveOnline: Will we see the real world and Alan Bradley at any point?
Bruce Boxleitner: No. No. That's what I like about this one is that it is entirely on The Grid this time around. I think it's cool having that other stuff but we know that story already. Maybe in the future but nothing that we've done so far. There might be.

Dear Editor:
I found your Dec. 14 editorial, "New mayor for Danville," very interesting, and in part very true, yet, also in part inaccurate. As a 22-plus year politically active resident of Danville, I have the knowledge to judge.
The paragraph about Mike Shimansky's service as mayor in 2007 was accurate and deservedly complimentary. However in the preceding paragraph, the phrase, "The mayoral position rotates among the five Danville Town Council positions," is false. In the past Shimansky, for example, has been skipped twice when it was his "turn" to be mayor.
On Dec. 4, Mayor Candace Andersen, Vice Mayor Newell Arnerich, and Councilman Mike Doyle, recipient of a public service award, were all unanimous actions. Andersen, Arnerich and Doyle are also the three council members up for re-election in 2008. Coincidence, or a violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act?

Super Bowl Sunday XVIII was thirty years ago today. And for football fans it will be remembered as the day the AFC's Los Angeles Raiders lambasted the NFC's Washington Redskins by a score of 38-9 in front of a massive crowd of 70,000+ at Tampa Stadium. For gadget geeks like me it was the day that Apple formally launched their iconic Super Bowl commercial "1984″.
It was not just a commercial but also a masterpiece, the likes of which had never been seen before. It was like taking a page out of George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eight-Four in a time and place ruled by "Big Brother". Conceived by agency Chiat/Day, it was directed by Hollywood film producer Ridley Scott and not surprising, it also had a feel of Blade Runner, Scott's blockbuster released two years earlier.
If you haven't seen it, it features an athletic nondescript heroine wearing red shorts and a white tank top emblazoned with a Picasso-styled image of a Mac. She was carrying a sledgehammer running down the aisle through a crowd of conformists as a televised "Big Brother" was speaking. As she drew nearer to the screen, she spun around several times before letting the massive sledgehammer fly and sending it crashing into the screen. She symbolized saving humanity, just as Big Brother announces, "we shall prevail".
As the commercial came to a close a scrolling text accompanied a confident voice-over.
"On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984'."
I've probably watched the commercial 100 times, and each time I do a little more digging as there are so many stories, misinformation and much controversy surrounding the ad and its creation.
According to Wikipedia, the heroine was actually an athlete and actress named Anya Major, a mere teen at the time. It turns out that in 1983 when Apple's advertising agency Chiat/Day put out a casting call in London, Major was more or less a shoe-in. Not only could the other candidates not swing and throw the hammer, most of them could barely even hold it. It looks like Major's experience as a discus thrower came in handy.
Big Brother's voice as it turns out, is played by David Graham, an English character and voice actor who is known for his voice characterizations in the 1960s for the Thunderbirds and Dr. Who.
Earlier, when I made reference to "formally introduced" it's because it wasn't the first time the commercial had aired. It actually aired the previous month, in December, so it could be eligible for awards and recognition for 1983. The agency decided it would air it once late at night in a small town, so it wouldn't lose the impact of a Super Bowl debut. This was long before the Internet (or more appropriately the World Wide Web) and today's technology, where nothing can really hide.
When did the ad really first air?
Here too is another twist, the commercial's first true airdate. It's accepted that the commercial aired one-time late at night on Channel 11 KMVT in Twin Falls, Idaho, but doing a search you'll see reference to two different dates and times – December 15th, 1983 at 1:00AM and just prior to midnight, December 31st 1983.
So which do you think it is?
In January 2009, MagicValley, the website for the Twin Fall Times-News ran a story indicating, "The ad first ran on Twin Falls' KMVT-TV at 1 a.m. on Dec. 15, 1983, in order to qualify for advertising awards given in 1984."
More recently, on Mental Floss.com in How Apple's '1984′ Ad Was Almost Canceled, they quoted Andy Hetzfeld's recollection via Folklore.org with the same date and time, but then crossed it out with an editor's note. Fortunately, Tom Frank, the station's operator who actually ran the ad, wrote in, which spawned another story – The True Story of Apple's "1984″ Ad's First Broadcast…Before the Super Bowl.
Frank indicated that he was given strict instructions to ensure it was aired it at the last possible break before midnight Sat. Dec 31, 1983 and confirms it aired correctly. Puzzle solved, I guess. Imagine if something had gone wrong and it had not aired. Hate to think what would have happened.
1984 in 2004
Fast forward two decades and the ad was slightly modified and rebroadcast in 2004 for the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh. It was also shown during Steve Jobs' keynote at MacWorld Expo that year. The only difference is that Anya Major is wearing a set of white Apple earbuds.
There's no debate that the Official Macintosh launch was January 24, 1984. So on January 24th, 2014, I'll have to say, "Happy 30th, Macintosh!"

Taylor Swift 'Red' Songs Aim to 'Surprise'
While Taylor Swift has already shared a few details about her highly-anticipated album, Red — such as co-writes with an eclectic mix of musicians — fans will still have plenty to discover when the project hits shelves on Oct. 22.
"I really want there to be so many surprises left on the record for when it comes out," Taylor explains to Rolling Stone magazine. "Some collaborations that haven't been talked about and some songs that are definitely what make the album so unique."
That's not stopping her from giving fans a little more info, though. First, the songstress divulged that she wrote with frequent Adele collaborator Dan Wilson, and that she recorded a duet, "Everything Is Changed," with British pop star Ed Sheeran. And the secrets keep spilling!
"There's a song called 'Holy Ground' I'm really excited about," the Pennsylvania native gushes. "Jeff Bhasker produced it. There's a song called 'I Knew You Were Trouble' that I wrote with Max Martin and Shellback that I'm stoked about."
The CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee is even letting fans hear the new tunes prior to Red's release. Taylor will share a 30-second snippet of a song each Monday on "Good Morning America" in the coming weeks, with the song released on iTunes the next day. Yesterday (Sept. 24), the songstress shared the album's second track, "Begin Again."
"It's a song about when you've gotten through a really bad relationship and you finally dust yourself off and go on that first date after a horrible breakup and the vulnerability that goes along with it," the superstar explains of the ballad's clever lyrics. Download "Begin Again" here.
The debut single from Red, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," became Taylor's first No. 1 pop single. Pre-order the full album here.

GreenHunter Resources, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GRH) (NYSE MKT: GRH.PRC), a diversified water resource, waste management and environmental services company specializing in the unconventional oil and natural gas shale resource plays, announced today that it has established a new hydrocarbons division, GreenHunter Hydrocarbons, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Resources. This new business line will further complement the company's Total Fluids Management Solutions services currently provided to producers in the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays. GreenHunter Hydrocarbons' business lines will focus on the transportation, storage, processing, and marketing of hydrocarbons (oil, condensate, and NGLs) in the Appalachian region. Leveraging off of our existing asset base and infrastructure, which includes up to six different barge terminal locations, presently owned or leased by GreenHunter Resources, GreenHunter Hydrocarbons is uniquely positioned to immediately garner a significant portion of this business opportunity. GreenHunter Hydrocarbons also announces today the hiring of Mr. Terry Clark as Vice President of GreenHunter Hydrocarbons and manager of this division. Mr. Clark has 17 years of experience managing hydrocarbons in the Appalachian Basin and has established industry-wide relationships with producers and refiners that will be extremely valuable to this new business segment. Offering some insights that shape his strategy on becoming a participant in the hydrocarbons/condensate market, Mr. Clark states that, "Higher quality Bakken and Eagleford condensates which now saturate the gulf coast market are lowering demand for Marcellus and Utica condensates. Unprocessed condensate pricing will continue to be volatile as shale production increases and Marcellus/Utica condensates' Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) exceed market requirements and limits. With the stabilization and processing of condensates, added value we can create for our customers' accounts will be crucial in keeping the condensates generated from this region as a viable revenue stream for producers. Additionally, moving condensate via pipeline in this region will ultimately reduce transportation liability and risk, while at the same time, eliminating and/or reducing higher cost trucking."

Porsche 918 Spyder Making Over 800-HP in Testing
Amid sprinklings of trivia, like the fact that Porsche Cars Canada sells more winter tires than its neighbor to the south, CEO Joe Lawrence has revealed a minor, though interesting detail on the upcoming 918 Spyder.
Speaking at a gathering of owners and media attending the American Le Mans Series Grand Prix of Mosport over the weekend, Lawrence was asked about the status of the brand's upcoming hybrid supercar. Recently spotted testing on the Nurburgring in Martini livery (above), Lawrence commented that the car is now making over 800-hp in testing thanks to its combination of a V8 and electric motors.
At last check, the 918 was said to deliver around 770-hp, though it appears the development process has made additional advancements.
Porsche claims the 918 will be able to deliver a 0-60 time of just around 3.0 seconds, while also being able to achieve as much as 74 mpg.
Porsche has already pegged pricing for the 918 at $845,000 with first deliveries beginning late next year.
CORRECTION NOTICE: Since the publication of this article AutoGuide has been contacted by Porsche Cars Canada reiterating the previous information provided by Porsche that the 918 Spyder will in fact make 770 hp, not the "over 800" quoted above.

WUSTL : M.Arch 1 with half tuition deduction scholarship Columbia: M.Arch1 no scholarship/FA I like both programs. I can absolutely save lots of money by choosing WUSTL, however, Columbia has more vigorous studio atmosphere and higher prestige. Should I put myself in debts to go to Columbia? Will WUSTL limits a student's potential growth compared to Columbia?? How should I make a decision between these two schools?
^ WUSTL = Washington University in Saint Louis.
FWIW, They are both good programs. The one thing WUSTL has going for it are the dedicated travel studios. You could concievably spend only 4 semesters in St. L.
Columbia has a lot of things going for it. If you think you might want to teach afterward, it's probably a better bet. But It all depends on what you think of the studio and studio environment. Go with your gut.
@deals on wheels
I agree! The reason I lean more towards WUSTL is its study abroad opportunities in Finland, Seoul, Barcelona, and South America.
I don't think I will have the money to travel if I go to GSAPP. Also the studio space in GSAPP is quite limited. However, how do you think WUSTL's faculty/visiting professors? I do not know much about that compared to Columbia.
I would go to Columbia. Hands down.
I am going to Wash U and hate myself for not applying to Columbia this past year.
I had visited Columbia back in the day and NYC seemed too much for me, community from a NJ suburb. It was impressive. All things being equal, Columbia is probably better and more reputed. On the other hand, WU-StL has coughed up some money. They are respected, but not as much as Columbia. I think people gladly drop 4 years of medical school tuition there, but watch it for a-school. I think you could do well there. St. Louis is ok, I guess. Cheaper to live in. It's really the only high-priced private in the Midwest. I never looked into it. If you come from money, Columbia. If you don't, WU-StL.

Reviews: Misunderstanding
Parchment With Scrawlings review
Really well done. I really enjoyed it and I generally am not much of a shipper. It has a nice balance between maturity and stuff and some humor as well.
Caellach Tiger Eye's Review
This is really nice, really relaxed one-shot piece which takes place post-DD - so naturally there are spoilers. The story does a really good job of keeping Matthew and Sveta both in-character despite limitations, and makes a hilarious situation in a realistic manner between them (also a case of Shown Their Work regarding heavy armour, as a side note...) Plus it's nice and fluffy while striking a decent balance between innocence and maturity - from both a storytelling and character-based perspective. Quite an enjoyable read.

2 Dead in Legionnaires' Outbreak in Chicago
Two people have died as a result of a Legionnaires' outbreak in a Chicago hotel. The downtown hotel, JW Marriott, has drained its pool, hot tub, fountain, and a portion of its spa in response to the deaths.
8 Confirmed Cases of Legionnaires' Disease
According to CNN, there have been 8 confirmed cases of Legionnaires' disease among the guests that stayed at the JW Marriot. This includes the 2 deaths. The hotel is currently trying to contact guests who stayed at the hotel from July 16 through August 15 to warn them of the outbreak. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that as of Monday, 80% of the guests have been notified.
Chicago health officials believe that the Legionnaires' disease threat is gone at the hotel. They recommend that anyone who stayed at the hotel and is experiencing flu like symptoms should contact a healthcare provider and get diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Legionnaires' Information and Symptoms
Information below provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Between 8,000 and 18,000 people are hospitalized each year due to Legionnaires' disease.
- The Legionella bacteria is usually found in water and it grows best in warm water.
- People become infected when they breathe in water mist or vapor that contains the bacteria. The disease is not spread from one person to the next.
- Symptoms are similar to many other forms of pneumonia, which includes high fever, chills, and coughing. Some people also suffer from muscle aches and headaches.
- Symptoms usually show up 2 to 14 days after being exposed to the bacteria.
- The disease can kill between 5% to 30% of those infected. Most cases, however, can be treated effectively with antibiotics.
- Older people (50 years or older) are most susceptible to the disease, as are smokers (current or former), and people with lung disease. People who have weak immune systems are also more likely of becoming infected than relatively healthy people.
- For more information, visit the CDC webpage on Legionnaires' disease.

BROOKSVILLE — A Spring Hill man wanted in connection with a string of alleged home repair scams on elderly citizens in Central Florida over the past three years surrendered Monday to Hernando County Sheriff's deputies.
According to a report, Nicholas Peter Stanko, 53, of 13097 Linzia Lane, remains in at the Hernando County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. He faces one count of organized fraud in Hernando County; however, authorities said he faces similar charges elsewhere.
According to a sheriff's report, Stanko, who operated under the names of Stanko Paving, Stanko Masonry, or Robby's Concrete, would offer to do work for victims and advertised himself as licensed and insured. His last license expired in 2006, records show. He also gave a 10-year guarantee on his work.
Authorities said that one scheme in Hernando County involved driveway resurfacing, in which he would apply a mixture of latex paint and dry cement that would wash off shortly after the work was completed. Victims said Stanko refused to honor his warranty or issue refunds for the faulty work.
Authorities estimate the total loss to Hernando County victims to be about $38,000.
In April, Stanko was arrested in Pasco County, accused of performing fraudulent driveway surfacing for at least two elderly victims. Another person said he paid Stanko $3,500 for a patio construction job, but the work was never done.
In Polk County last year, Stanko was charged with 36 counts of unlawful solicitation.

I bet you've got a friend or family member who doesn't usually enjoy "that fantasy stuff" but has really gotten into A Game of Thrones. I know a lot of them, myself. Little do they know that they're teetering on the precipice of full geekdom, and you know what? I'd like to give them a helpful push. Maybe you would, too.
If these unsuspecting soon-to-be fantasy freaks have already read George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, then the best way that you could nudge them along into full-on fandom would be to give them George R.R. Martin's Dreamsongs collection. This two-volume set collects some of the author's very best short stories in a variety of genres: fantasy, science fiction and horror – perfect for "bite-sized" reading. When you're talking about GRRM, you're talking about high quality stuff, and reading a short story collection is the literary equivalent of being hit with a shotgun blast: something's bound to hit the mark. (Although one hopes the experience is far more pleasurable.)
Think of giving these two books as a gift to yourself: With any luck, you'll have another fantasy fan to chat with next Christmas.

Chris Brown's nightclub brawl led to an innocent woman needing 16 stitches after being hit with a bottle.
The Beautiful People singer also sustained a bottle cut to his chin during the argument, which erupted between himself, rapper Drake and their entourages at New York nightclub W.I.P. on Wednesday night.
Chris has been at war with Drake since he was linked to Rihanna, who broke up with him after he was convicted of assaulting her three years ago.
When the argument started, Hollie C., a 24-year-old Australian tourist, was at the same bar with friends.
She told TMZ.com: "Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head.
"I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness."
Hollie added she took herself to a local hospital, where she got her stitches and was given a tetanus shot, before being released. She has since filed a police report.
She said: "I had to take the subway home with no money or jacket. Nobody would even sit beside me. My friends were so scared because they did not know where I was."
Unconfirmed reports said the fight broke out after Chris had sent a bottle of Champagne to his rival's table as a peace offering, but it was returned with a note reading: "I'm f***ing the love of your life, deal with it." - Bang Showbiz

Idris, Nor Jalilah (2006) Effect of work programme in extension of time entitlement. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Built Environment.
PDF (Full text)
Restricted to Repository staff only
The aim of this research is to know how a construction work programme can be a tool in reducing disputes which relate to extension of time (eot). Extension of time entitlement is only granted to the successful claimant (contractor) who had fulfill certain conditions in the application and one of the condition is the claimant had successfully proved that the delay happened was not by his fault, it is either caused by employer or was one of the neutral events. Therefore it is important for the contractor to have sufficient records and documents about a project's progress so that he is able to prove the caused of the delay occurred. Unfortunately, most of the contractors failed to do so because they are more focus to the work on site rather than doing the management and documentation work. It is believed then that by having a proper method of work progamme and updated progress of work can be so helpful in resolving the dispute, even the preparation of it are not required in any of local standard form of contract. This research are based on literature information about work programme and it will supported by referring to court case where had considered work programme as an important document in judgment. Even there are no specifications of method in preparing a work programme but there are some important elements in the work programme which may contribute to its purpose. Besides having credits in resolving disputes, there are still weak points in the work programme application which have to be studied and improved. It is found that it is good to have work programme requirement in document contract for the better future and quality of the industry

Twenty five homes are expected to be approved for Rudgwick's Church Street, despite the protests of village residents.
At a meeting of Horsham District Council's Development Control North Committee on Tuesday (September 2), village residents appealed to councillors to reject planning permission.
The plans are for the erection of 25 residential homes, including 15 private units and ten affordable units, associated parking and amenity space on land south of Summerfold.
Emma Ashfield of Rudgwick said: "The impact of five additional dwellings gives rise to a layout that is more cramped and even less acceptable than the layout rejected by the inspector."
Fellow resident John Newell called on councillors to reduce the scale of the development to 15 homes.
He said: "The local infrastructure is at present already under great strain and the effect of the Windacres Farm development should be experienced and understood first."
Councillors said they supported the application, but expressed concerns over issues such as sewage and potential flooding.
Peter Burgess (Con, Holbrook West) said: "I would support this. I would emphasise about the real need for good sewage - we can't let that run and rot."
Tricia Youtan (Con, Itchingfield, Slinfold and Warnham) said: "I support it in principle, but it does slightly concern me that the objectors have all mentioned the potential flooding.
"Nobody has any idea of the effects of the development taking place at Windacres."
Leonard Crosbie (LDem, Trafalgar) said: "We have got more houses and a wider distribution of houses on the site.
"From a common sense point of view I can understand how the neighbours feel a little frustrated. How is it shown to them that this is an improvement?"
The planning officer confirmed that local people would be offered the new homes as a priority.
Members voted unanimously to delegate the application for approval.

Sacramento County
the most prosperous and highly esteemed business men of Sacramento,
whose efforts along the lines of progress have been conspicuous in
business life is Ralph Hill Muddox, who now fills a position of honor in
more than one flourishing business house in this city. He is a native of
Sacramento, having been born on the family homestead at Twenty-sixth and
J streets, opposite old Fort Sutter, on July 9, 1876, and is the son of
George A. and Isabelle (Bundock) Muddox, the former a native of London,
England, and the latter of Chelmsford, England.
father, George A. Muddox, was a potter by trade and upon his arrival in
America came as far west as Illinois, where he settled, engaging in the
manufacture of pottery ware in the city of Alton. In 1872 he came to
California, and locating in Sacramento, established a pottery business
which he continued until his death. The mother is still making her home
in Sacramento.
H. Muddox was educated in the public schools and at the Atkinson
Business College, from which latter he was graduated at the age of
twenty-one, at which time he embarked in the contracting and building
trade and followed it for twelve years with marked success. Having
learned the manufacture of pottery and cement work when but a lad he
became experienced in this line of work, and accordingly decided to
resume that work. His terrazzo and cement manufacturing plant which is
situated on Twenty-ninth street, between K and L streets, is the center
of a thriving business which takes much of his attention and has proved
a judicious investment and a financial success. Other business interests
than this concern command Mr. Muddox's abilities. He is secretary of the
Isleton Asparagus Company, which has one hundred and fifty acres in
asparagus, and he is also a stockholder in the Sacramento Olive Company,
one of the largest olive orchards in Northern California.
Mr. Muddox has proved himself to be a public-spirited, conscientious and progressive citizen in every sense of the word. He affiliates with the Native Sons of the Golden West and was for some time active in the Order of Eagles. In politics he is a Republican and is inclined to vote independently, favoring the man best suited for the position. On December 15, 1903, he was married to Miss Marian Russell, of San Luis Obispo county, Cal., daughter of D. A. Russell, then a lawyer at San Luis Obispo and later at Bakersfield, but who is now living retired from active cares and responsibilities. In 1903 Mr. Muddox made a four-months' tour of Europe, touching at different points of interest in England and on the continent, meanwhile visiting the old homes of his father and mother in England. Mr. and Mrs. Muddox attend the St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

Hi all,
I know about using fetchAll() to select a bunch of records, but each book I've read on the subject says this is not smart if the number of records is greater than 100 or so because it requires too much memory.
So how does one use PDO to select and display huge numbers of rows, if not with fetchAll()?
'too much memory' is a relative thing.
If your result rows are 2 integers, it's gonna take a -lot- of rows to generate too much memory.If your result rows are full text pages, it's gonna take a lot fewer.
Generally speaking, most queries should be fine up to a couple thousand results.
That said; how to handle the need to display huge numbers of rows.
In what context would you need to display huge numbers of rows that couldnt benefit from a bit of Pagination?
Using the fetch() method instead. fetchAll() consumes a lot of memory because it returns every record as a native PHP array - whereas fetch() returns a single record and expects you to either build the array manually or iterate each while outputting results - common mistake.
I have one client that wants to display 200+ records per page.
If you have time, could you expound on this please? How do I use fetch() to display a large amount of records?
a while loop over a fetch call would work... i'd still say that unless the records are very small, 200 records is a lot to display in a single result page.
Totally agree...but my client insists on it.
while($row = $PDO->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { //Echo Record}
Thanks starlion
So this:
while ( $row = fetch( $r ) ) {
Would be the equivalent of:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($r)) {
Ok, this worked for me. Thanks for help!!
require_once( 'includes/DataObject.class.php' );
$db = new DataObject();
$conn = $db->connect();
$q = "SELECT * FROM users";
$stmt = $conn->prepare( $q );
echo '
';
while( $row = $stmt->fetch() ) {
echo '
' . $row['first_name'] . '
';
echo '
';
If you're very concerned about memory usage, you can specify the PDO::FETCH_ASSOC parameter to the optional first parameter.
Without it, you get FETCH_BOTH, which returns something like:$row array([0] => "Steve",["firstname"] => "Steve")
(note the duplication - numerical and associative - hence BOTH)
Excellent info, thanks again. I wasn't aware of the duplication.
200 results per page is a bit much, if your client insists on 200 per page and your concerned about performance (honestly it will probably take longer to render the results client side than select 200 records - which is faster than you can blink) I would strongly recommend making the pagina results an option via drop down or similar so when he experiences a slow rendering process he can optionally switch to a lower (more realistic) results per page count.
I guess there must be a way to select a "screens worth" of data at a time (say 50 rows?) using Ajax.
When JS detects a "scroll to" value > 50% of the existing screen length, fetch another 50 records using the LIMIT clause.
(a bit like how the Twitter website works - I often scroll on down back to when I was last online to read what the relatively few people I follow have said while I was offline - yes, weird I know)
"When JS detects a "scroll to" value > 50% of the existing screen length, fetch another 50 records using the LIMIT clause."
Needs a bit of refinement.
50% of 50 = 2550% of 100 = 50 .. but we're just starting to look at the second set of data, and you're already loading the third....50% of 150 = 75 ... the third set isnt even on the screen yet and we're loading the fourth....
Thank you for adopting and embellishing my point.
So what improvement do you suggest?
Fixed Pixelheight from the bottom?
EG: You know your records are 15px high.When are we at the bottom of the third set?15*<numrecordsondisplay>+<anyheaderheight>-<buffer>-<windowheight>
So if we wanted to load new records when we start to see the bottom 25 records...
trigger on the window.y >= (15*curnumrecords)+<headerheight>-(15*25)-window.height (Because IIRC window.y is measured from the top?)
Not 100% verbose on my javascript.
Righto, I get your drift - my guess was really hazy, and clearly I was not talking from experience.
Anyhow, there is an alternative for the OP to grab the records in chunks and display them and yet possibly keep his boss happy - but not too trivial to accomplish either.
I wonder if in doing it this way we unearth a usability pattern?
I found a library Item Pagination Pattern - Design Pattern Library - YDN - but that is not it

Where can I get juvederm for $350 or less in Houston TX? I really need to make an appointment this week. I've been seeing this other clinic, but the frown lines never disappeared and I keep going to the same clinic for over a year. The nurse keeps telling me that it would disappeared the frown lines, but they never disappeared: ( Plus they're pretty expensive I know it will work great on me cause I've been using botox and fillers for over two years. Before I moved to Texas.
Where to Get Juvederm for $350 or Less in Houston TX?
Doctor Answers 2
Be careful with price for Juvederm
Make sure the Juvederm comes from the Actual manufacturer.
Every week we get a fax in the office about a "Canadian" pharmacy that wants to sell us Juvederm at half price. We don't know where the Juvederm is coming from, or what is in it. If there is an issue, who will back it up? If it is from Allergan, they will work to help resolve the issue. A few years ago, we had a three patients that the Botox did not work in. Turns out the box was left on the loading dock too long. Allergan sent us new Botox, and all worked out well.
Make sure about your injector.
To do injectables correctly, one needs a knowledge base of anatomy and proper training. Juverderm is very safe, but it can cause trouble if injected in the wrong space.
Cheap can become expensive really fast. Please see a legitimate, well trained, experienced injector.

Juvederm for $350 or less
To get the improvement that you seek, you will need to ensure sufficient amount being used, proper technique is being used, and that real juvederm is being used. $350 for a 1.0 cc syringe is very inexpensive anywhere in the country. If you find that fee, ensure that your injector is expert and experienced.

Time released an article reporting new findings on the dangers of BPA (Bisphenol A), a chemical used in certain plastics. A recent study has found that women exposed to elevated levels of BPA (Bisphenol A) during pregnancy were more likely to give birth to children who exhibit symptoms of childhood asthma.
This mirrors a study from 2010 where female mice were exposed to elevated levels of BPA during gestation and gave birth to pups with serious breathing problems. Other research suggests that a single exposure to BPA can affect up to 3 generations of lab animals.
While representatives from the plastics industry have repeatedly pointed out that no study has conclusively found a direct association between BPA and the myriad health problems with which it has become associated—problems such as diabetes, obesity, and endochrine disruption—evidence is starting to mount against the chemical. If you're interested in reading more about the dangers of plastic, be sure to review this Time special report or consider picking up Susan Freinkel's fascinating book Plastic: A Toxic Love Story.
Currently, only a few states have legislation banning BPA, and most laws on the books in those states cover baby bottles, sippy cups, and other drinkware geared specifically toward children. Furthermore, both Canada and the European Union have officially outlawed the use of BPA in children's drinkware. Whether the chemical will be outlawed in the United States on a federal level remains to be seen, but the fact remains that the correlation between BPA and an ever-growing list of health problems means people should think twice about buying products containing the chemical.
InkHead offers several items made from BPA-free plastic, so you can be sure that your marketing campaign will not cause later health problems for your recipients.
As you peruse the InkHead catalog, you will notice that we have a good number of BPA-Free Water Bottles to choose from, including item #15750, the 32 oz. HydroClean Sports Bottle, a 32 oz. translucent sports bottle with a unique textured base for added grip and a coordinating push-and-pull top, which will prevent water from spilling out.
In addition to custom water bottles made from BPA free plastic, InkHead's catalog also includes drinking cups made from BPA-free plastic, such as item #21172, the 16 oz Classic Stadium Cup, which is made from BPA-free, biodegradable plastic! Not only will you keep your recipients safe from the dangers of BPA, you will also be protecting the environment!
While the majority of BPA-free plastic drinkware pieces are water bottles and plastic cups, we do carry some BPA-free coffee tumblers and beverage glasses, so be sure to review our complete selection of BPA-free plastic drinkware if the products featured in this post don't strike your fancy.
If you cannot find an item that fits your budget, please give us a call at 800-554-0127 between 9 AM and 8 PM ET Monday through Friday. One of our Promotions Specialists can assist you in locating a suitable item for your promotion.
Bisphenol A or BPA, a material found in some plastics, has come under fire in recent years for its correlation with several health disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. While the plastics industry has pointed out that those links are still up for debate, it appears that the evidence against BPA is starting to mount. Avoid these problems by ordering products made from BPA-free plastic. InkHead has a wide selection of BPA-Free Water Bottles as well as BPA-Free Plastic Cups to choose from.

Spotlight Moves to Hellman's Plays
By DINITIA SMITH
Published: December 30, 2006
These days Lillian Hellman, who died in 1984, is remembered not so much for her plays, her biographer Carl E. Rollyson points out, as for her famous 1952 letter to a subcommittee of the House Un-American Activities Committee: ''I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.''
With the exception of her 1939 play, ''The Little Foxes,'' there are few major productions of Hellman's work anymore. She is known mostly as a memoirist. Like Susan Sontag, she created a persona that to some extent has come to overshadow her intellectual accomplishments.
It is mostly her image that is memorable. Her face was deeply seamed from a lifetime of smoking and drinking, making her look, as someone once observed, like the Ancient Mariner in drag. Draped in a Blackglama mink for the ad campaign ''What Becomes a Legend Most?,'' Hellman became a symbol of hard-edged, tough-talking honesty, although the veracity of her memoirs was questioned, and even her friends said she sometimes lied.
But how good a playwright was Hellman? In her time her plays were favorably reviewed, and she grew rich from them. When ''The Little Foxes,'' about a family of venal Southerners, was first on Broadway, the New York Times critic Brooks Atkinson called Hellman ''biting and expert.'' ''Foxes'' ran for 410 performances.
Although ''Foxes'' was Hellman's most popular work, some theater scholars believe her best may be ''Toys in the Attic,'' her autobiographical play set in New Orleans, where she was born. It is about two sisters who destroy their brother with the suffocating power of their love for him.
Austin Pendleton, who knew Hellman, is bringing ''Toys in the Attic'' to life again, directing a new production at the Pearl Theater, with previews beginning on Friday. Mr. Pendleton also directed the 1981 production of ''The Little Foxes'' with Elizabeth Taylor, and played the weakling nephew, Leo, in Mike Nichols's production at Lincoln Center in 1967.
Hellman was known best for her tightly constructed melodramas. ''Sometimes they were so corseted, they didn't let any air out,'' said Robert Brustein, a friend of Hellman's and former dean of the Yale University School of Drama.
'' 'Toys' is probably the most relaxed play she wrote,'' he said. ''The characters have more dimensions than in her other plays, though it is not as electrifying as 'Little Foxes.' ''
Mr. Pendleton noted that Hellman was not considered in the realm of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.
''Critics got hung up on how well her plays were constructed,'' he added. ''They thought that must mean they were contrived. But I think they are more ambiguous than is generally thought.''
'' 'Toys in the Attic' is my favorite of her plays,'' he continued. ''It's the most personal, very mysterious and very charged. And it has some of the most extraordinary language I've ever heard onstage.''
The play is Chekhovian in feel. Hellman herself pointed out its similarities to ''The Three Sisters,'' only in ''Toys'' there are two sisters who want to escape their lives. The characters, the Berniers, are obsessed with their brother, the feckless Julian, the focus of all their happiness. One sister, Carrie, has an incestuous infatuation with him. In one memorable line, her sister, Anna, tells her, ''You lusted and it showed.'' The sisters push Julian beyond his capacities, and he constantly fails. After yet another business reversal, he comes home with his childish wife, Lily.
In a passage, typical of Hellman's poetic reach, Lily describes their wedding day: ''Cold and hot days, fog and light, and I was on a high hill running down with the top of me, and flying with the left of me, and singing with the right of me.'' Julian has another scheme in mind, but disaster follows.
Hellman began writing ''Toys'' in the late '50s, after a string of disappointments. Years of blacklisting had damaged her career. ''Candide,'' for which she wrote the book and Leonard Bernstein the music, had closed, after 73 performances, in 1957.
Her lover, Dashiell Hammett, suggested an idea for a new work. According to Rollyson's biography, Hammett told her: ''There is this man. Other people, people who say they love him, want him to make good, be rich.'' But once he succeeds, he believes that they do not love him anymore and fails. ''Think about it,'' Hammett said.
The play took three years to write. Julian is an exaggerated version of Hellman's father, Max, a womanizer doted on by his two sisters. Max Hellman's business failed, but he later became a successful salesman in New York. There was also something in Julian of Hellman's Uncle Willy, for whom the teenage Hellman had an intense sexual attraction, according to her biographers.
The original production was directed by Arthur Penn and had some of the most powerful actors in the American theater, including Jason Robards as Julian and Maureen Stapleton as Carrie. Anne Revere was Anna, Rochelle Oliver was Lily, and Irene Worth played Lily's mother, Albertine, who is having an affair with a black chauffeur, as had one of Hellman's aunts.
Rehearsals were difficult. ''Actors were fearful of Lillian,'' Mr. Penn said recently. ''She was very judgmental.''

For Immediate Release
Washington, DC – Maureen A. Shauket was sworn in today as the new Mission Director for Kosovo for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The oath was administered by USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah.
As Mission Director for Kosovo, Shauket will oversee USAID's effort to help Kosovo become a stable, democratic, and economically viable country within Europe. The key objectives of USAID's assistance include: solidifying the rule of law, building government capacity, readying the energy sector for privatization, improving infrastructure, developing private enterprise and promoting reconciliation and minority rights.
Prior to her appointment as Mission Director, Shauket served as USAID's Senior Procurement Executive, Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO), and Director of the Office of Acquisition and Assistance (OAA). She has led major improvements to the Agency as one of the lead architects of USAID's Implementation and Procurement Reform. She established the Board for Acquisition and Assistance Reform to review major procurements and she directed the Agency's acquisition savings plan, which realized over $171 million in savings in 2010. Shauket began her USAID career nearly two decades ago in the Pakistan Office of Project Development and Monitoring. She has served as a Contracting Officer in the Regional Center for Southern Africa in Botswana, a Supervisory Contracting Office in Bangladesh, and the Director of the Regional Contracting Office for USAID's Regional Services Center in Hungary.
Before her position as CAO and Senior Procurement Executive in October 2007, Shauket was the Deputy Director for Operations in OAA. She is the first woman to be designated Chief Acquisition Officer and Senior Procurement Executive in the history of USAID.
Shauket holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Northeastern University. She is a member of the Senior Foreign Service with a personal rank of Counselor. In addition to the USAID Award for Ethics, she is the recipient of four Meritorious Honor Awards.
During her remarks at the ceremony, Shauket stated, "I am delighted that I have been given the opportunity to return to the Europe and Eurasia Bureau. It is a time of great challenge and great opportunity in Kosovo and I am honored to contribute to the excellent work that USAID is doing to further the country's remarkable development progress. I look forward to working with the entire US Government team to leverage our development impact in Kosovo."
