make advances at (one)
To approach one in a flirtatious, amorous, or sexual manner; to try or begin to seduce one. Terry was fired after he began making advances at his secretary. I really wish I could go out to a bar or a club without a half dozen men making advances at me.

Terranium – Interactive Installation
Terrarium is an interactive, sonic ecosystem whose source of energy comes from the sounds people make interacting with the work. The sounds of the participants voices come into the world via the sound vents. These sounds are too raw for the environment so they are sucked in by the Seed Spitters who process the sounds to more manageable particles which are then expelled into the environment. These processed sound particles help spawn and sustain life within the ecosystem, providing food for the fish in the water and creating frequency sensitive plants on the land. The voice also triggers changes to the Pattern Bush who adapts the shapes of its leaves to the sounds it hears.

'"I think that has something to do with it," said Ruff. "I think nobody anticipated each of our teams doing as well. I think as a coach, you always believe strongly in your team. I think that's probably why we're in the position we're in (as Jack Adams candidates), because we have exceeded a lot of the expectations that were put upon our teams early in the year."'

When my mother and father met they were working at the same department store in our town; she on the fourth floor in girdles and bras and he in the mezzanine in sports equipment. She bought a baseball glove for her brother from him and was shocked when on the same bus going home that night there was the tall handsome salesman.
Even more shocking was the fact that they got off at the same stop.
He began walking her home, lingering on the sidewalk and finally hanging out on her stoop until my grandmother called her in.
They spent that summer reading Shakespeare sonnets and playing Twenty Questions; I'm thinking of an animal, vegetable or mineral. One night he took the big fat book and scrawled on the inside cover, "I'm thinking of a woman and it's no game." That was it. She was putty.
The winter I was dating my husband I had given him forced paperwhites and when I was gone they bloomed. He pressed a few of the tiny yellow flowers with the orange centers and sent me a note, "I miss your yellow flowers with the little orange centers." I was putty.
My parents fell in love through their letters. I was already in love but his notes sealed the deal.
Like most preteens of the era I kept a diary.
And when I was 12 I wrote to all my friends at camp with SWAK (sealed with a kiss) on the back flap. I had a pen pal in high school, and I wrote to my mother every other day when she was a new young widow.
When magic markers came in I decorated my envelopes with every color. The texture drove me nuts. And when glitter came in I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Waiting for the postman, saving the stamps, looking at the postmarks from foreign places like New York and New Jersey was thrilling.
My favorite letter in all the world came from my grandfather who wrote in phonetic English. There was only one word typed across the top of the page, a jumble of letters strung together; v e n u g o n a g e t m e r i t. It took me several readings to translate, "Ven you gonna get married?"
Six years ago, right before my mother died at 92, we were watching television together. The internet was new (to us). She turned to me and said, "What is it with this dot org, dot schmorg, dot net, dot schmet. I hate it."
I tried to explain it to her. She lost interest. Now I get it. I am the same way with facebook, schmace book, twitter schmitter and tumble schmumble. Have I turned into her?
I see the value of the net, the immediate gratification. I do email. I love email. I only text my kids because it's the only way I can get a response the same day even though it takes me an hour to write that abbreviated weird-looking, wrongly-spelled half sentence. I can't skip prepositions. I'm sorry. And I can't spell wrong. It kills me.
I think for me seeing words on paper, comforting complete sentences, having feelings and putting them down on the page, choosing the perfect stamp and sticking it in that perfect corner is a tangible thing. It has texture, it has shelf life, it has permanence. I love the way the wavy lines of the postmark look on the envelope.
In the last few years I have met 12, 13 and 14-year-olds who have never received a letter. I silently groan and inwardly roll my eyes but mainly I just feel sad for them.
Last night when I couldn't stop that stupid rainbow-colored ball from rolling and rolling on my computer, I called my 13-year-old neighbor. She came right over, forced quit (whatever that is) and when I said I'm going to send you a thank you note with SWAK on the flap, I think I detected a silent groan and an inward roll of her eyes.
And I bet all the way back to her house she just felt sad for me.

here is a super duper easy how to for a sweet little gift that is PERFECT
for teachers, friends, family, bus drivers...basically anyone with keys.
And there are three simple ways to make them...one of which requires NO sewing!
Then gather your materials...
1o inches of cotton webbing
10 inches of ribbon or a 10 by 2 1/4in fabric scrap
10 inches of your choice of iron on strips
the same width (or a bit smaller) as your ribbon
Everything Ribbons is a great place on Etsy to get a good deal on supplies...

Iron ribbon onto the strip...
You CAN stop here and mosey on down to the hardware part...
If you want to skip the iron on part...you can just go right to the stitch on step.

and stitching to your hearts content.
fold in half...
lining up the two ends...
insert ends into the open end of the hardware.
Clamp it down with the pliers...nice and tight.
You can put a scrap of fabric between the pliers

For decades, finance professionals have argued over the merits and drawbacks of active versus passive investment management, but in today's world, that debate makes little sense, if at all, according to Ted Lundgren, managing principal of HG Capital Advisors and a member of the board of the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM).
Yes, Lundgren is a proponent of active management, but only as one part of a comprehensive investment strategy that also includes passive management, because, he says, managers and advisors will only be able to deliver the best to their clients when they properly mix both active and passive strategies.
While active management strategies and the value they can bring enhance advisors' ability to add alpha, help respond to changing market conditions and overcome losses, they're actually far more effective when they're combined with passive strategies, Lundgren argues. That's because those strategies can add a level of diversification across asset classes and timeframes.
"Our main job is to learn about the client and do what's best for him, so diversifying across asset classes, methodology and investment styles is extremely important," he says.
But no investment style, active or passive, can work without an advisor getting to know how their clients feel, think and behave. To that end, any advisor's approach must be anchored firmly in the principles of behavioral finance, Lundgren says, and they must get to know their clients' behavioral biases as well as their own in order to then come up with the "money management techniques that help mitigate these." The trick is to be prepared for any market eventuality that can impact investor behavior and confidence, he says, and the best way to ensure this is to mix methodologies and investment management styles.
Buy and Hold, and Active Management
"As an advisor, you don't want to react for a particular market environment and say 'We will do something,' you already want to be prepared for it," says Lundgren.
"You have to make sure that there's some part of a client's portfolio where a buy-and-hold strategy will work, and another portion that's prepared to go cash in an extreme environment like what we saw in 2008. There are rules and discipline around that that are really important, so to the extent that we can diversify across asset classes, methodology and investment styles, we have a better chance of enabling clients to meet their investment objectives and stay invested in the market at all times."
Despite all that financial market participants have been through, many advisors today are still arguing over active and passive management styles, and tending to veer toward either one or the other. But Lundgren thinks it's time to set that argument aside and open up the discussion to more comprehensive, holistic financial planning solutions that incorporate elements of both approaches.
His paper, "Three Fundamentals – Using Active Management, Behavioral Finance and Planning to Reach Client Objectives," was released April 29 at the 35th NAAIM Uncommon Knowledge conference in Denver in early May and is the first in a series on portfolio management techniques that Lundgren hopes will initiate healthy dialogue among advisors on both sides of the active/passive debate.
Lundgren also hopes to shed more light on active management, a style he believes can be both overwhelming and difficult to understand for many advisors.
"We want people to know that ours is an organization that is there to help them understand how active management works and how they can integrate it into their practices without hurting their clients," he says. "We want to broaden the discussion by first getting advisors to understand on a basic level how active management works and from there open up the conversation. Today, it's clear that we are not going to get any traction by just digging in our heels and if we want lifelong clients, then it's clear that neither active management nor passive management alone are enough, and we have to meet somewhere in the middle. We would like others to step up and join this conversation."

Riverside County balanced its budget last year without raiding reserves for the first time in several years. But doing so again this year will require closing a nearly $50 million gap ---- $39 million of which is in the Sheriff's Department, officials said at a county budget workshop Monday.
Sheriff Stan Sniff outlined a plan to boost spending in fiscal year 2013-14, which begins July 1, by $54 million to $602 million. The increase is being sought to cover promised raises in labor contracts, costs associated with a radio communication system set to debut, salaries of 64 sheriff's deputies to be hired to boost patrol strength on the street, and the hiring of new people to run the county's expanding jail system.
Raises alone are projected to cost $20 million, Sniff said. The raises were promised in a concession to unions, for their acquiesence last year to a significant reduction in retirement benefits to future employees to shave long-term costs.
Chief Finance Officer Ed Corser said county executives had already found a way to fund $15 million of the sheriff's request for $54 million ---- for the communication system and new deputies. But the sheriff's proposal leaves a $39 million gulf between anticipated revenues and expenses.
Sniff said he could cover as much as half the gap through his management of the department budget.
But, he said, "The CEO's target is probably a bridge too far for us."
County Executive Officer Jay Orr's preliminary overall county budget calls for allocating a little less than $220 million in local tax revenue for the sheriff, a huge department that had 3,723 employees as of one month ago. The law enforcement agency gets most of its revenue from cities that contract with the county for police protection, and from state and federal grants.
The county as a whole has 18,000 employees.
Temecula, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and Canyon Lake all rely on sheriff's deputies for law enforcement services. Murrieta is the only Southwest County city that has its own independent police department.
As for the 64 deputies, they are to be hired to ensure there is one sworn officer for every 1,000 residents living in unincorporated communities ---- the sheriff's primary responsibility. Sniff said he expects to hit that mark by the middle of 2014. The current ratio of 0.75 officer per 1,000 residents is the lowest level in more than a decade and a result of budget-trimming measures in recent years.
The Board of Supervisors recently set a goal of boosting the ratio to 1.2 officers per 1,000 by 2018.
Besides the $39 million gap in the Sheriff's Department, the Fire Department is seeking $8.2 million more than is available, primarily to replace fire engines and cover its costs associated with the new public safety radio system, Corser said. He said the district attorney is seeking $3 million beyond available funding for attorneys, and the registrar of voters anticipates $2 million in extra costs for handling elections, including a countywide primary late in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
That adds up to $52.2 million. Corser said the county projects a net gap of $49.5 million, though, given some revenue increases that previously weren't anticipated.
For the first time in five years, officials anticipate receiving an increase in property taxes ---- the source of more than 80 percent of the county's local revenue. And Corser said a 3 percent increase is expected at the moment. There is some indication it could increase by as much as 4 percent, he said, generating an additional $5 million for the general fund.
Fire Chief John Hawkins said other budget relief could come as a result of an analysis the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is conducting of charges it assesses Riverside County. The county contracts with the state agency, also known as CalFire, to put out fires in unincorporated areas.
In turn, many cities ---- Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Menifee and Canyon Lake among them ---- contract with the county for fire protection.
The chief is proposing a $180 million Fire Department budget, $75 million of which would be funded by contract cities.
Hawkins said the county could save $2 million on fire costs because the state may shift 16 unfilled CalFire positions to the department's Perris headquarters, picking up the tab for 16 existing jobs there. Those positions are on the county payroll and would go on the state's payroll, he said, funded out of administrative overhead fees that Riverside County and all other CalFire contract agencies pay.
As it is now, Corser said, "We think we are paying for things we are not getting."
Despite the gaps in the two high-profile public safety agencies, officials maintained that their departments should remain high priorities because their workload is growing.
Hawkins said county Fire Department calls surged 7.3 percent in 2012 to 130,620.
Sniff said violent crimes in the cities and unincorporated areas the Sheriff's Department serves ---- with a combined population of 1.4 million ---- increased 6.5 percent to 3,255 last year. Violent crimes include homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults.
But while there are opportunities for closing the $49.5 million gap, there is another problem that isn't being counted toward that figure. Corser said the county hospital, the Riverside County Regional Medical Center in Moreno Valley, faces a potential $41 million shortfall in its proposed $680 million budget. Its budget relies very little on the general fund, but could put pressure on it if some costs aren't covered.
Supervisor Jeff Stone suggested the hospital charge visitors and patients to park in its parking lot, to generate more revenue.
"I think we're leaving millions of dollars on the table," Stone said.
Stone also reiterated his recent proposal to charge the cash-flush Waste Management Department rent for operating county landfills, potentially producing $1 million or more a year for the general fund.
The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to approve a budget in June and adopt a final spending plan in September, after officials know what impact the state budget will have on the county and what the general fund balance is after the close of books on the 2012-13 fiscal year.

The Ohio Historical Society Board of Trustees will consider a proposal requesting that the National Park Service assess management options for the Newark Earthworks at its June 27 meeting at the Ohio Historical Center. If approved, the study would examine the costs and benefits of management of the Newark Earthworks by the National Park Service and evaluate different ways that the site might be affiliated or become part of the National Park system, according to William K. Laidlaw, Jr., OHS executive director and CEO.
"In addressing concerns about access to and operations of the Newark Earthworks, an advisory group, made up of members of the community, local officials, Native Americans and archaeologists, recommended that the Ohio Historical Society explore the possibility of turning over management to the National Park Service in the best interests of the site," Laidlaw said. "Requesting that a study be conducted would be the first step in that process."
The Newark Earthworks is a complex that is 2,000 years old and at one time covered approximately four square miles. Scholars recognize it as the largest geometric earthworks ever created. Although much of it has been destroyed by more than a century of urban development, the most significant parts remaining are the Octagon, Great Circle and Wright earthworks. Together these three earthworks comprise the Newark Earthworks, one of 59 sites administered by the Ohio Historical Society. Currently, the Newark Earthworks are being considered for the World Heritage List, which recognizes natural and cultural sites of significance to all peoples of the world.
"The Society does not currently have the resources to maintain and manage the site as it should," Laidlaw said. "With the earthworks being considered for World Heritage status, the need for improved access will increase."
According to Laidlaw, once the OHS Board approves the proposal, the National Park Service will be able to start its planning process for the study. However, any recommendations from the final study report would need approval from the OHS Board, the General Assembly and Congress before any course of action is taken, he said.
The Ohio Historical Society is a nonprofit organization that serves as the state's partner in preserving and interpreting Ohio's history, natural history and archaeology. For more information about programs and events, go online at www.ohiohistory.org .

Canucks aim to keep point streak alive in Dallas
(SportsNetwork.com) - Though they had their longest winning streak of the season halted last time out, the Vancouver Canucks can still earn a point for the ninth game in a row on Thursday night when they visit the Dallas Stars.
The Canucks carried a seven-game win streak into Tuesday night's matchup with the Minnesota Wild and lost a 3-2 decision in a shootout. The Wild's Jason Pominville scored the first goal of the tiebreaker in the third round, sneaking the disc past Roberto Luongo's glove side.
Josh Harding stoned Ryan Kesler on the Canucks' ensuing chance to seal the outcome.
Jannik Hansen and David Booth scored for the Canucks, who lost for the first time in the month of December and fell to 1-4 in shootouts this season.
Luongo stopped 30 shots in the setback.
"We (stink) in the shootout," said Canucks coach John Tortorella. "Yeah, we do. We gotta try different people I guess because we stink at it."
The Stars, meanwhile, are hoping to win consecutive games for the first time since a three-game run from Nov. 13-17 after splitting a home-and-home series with the Colorado Avalanche.
Dallas lost the road portion 6-2 on Monday, but bounced back to record a 3-2 victory at home the following night.
Ray Whitney scored twice and Colton Sceviour had the game-winning goal with 2:52 left in the third period. He converted on a breakaway for his second career goal.
"Any time you score a game-winning goal it's pretty exciting, especially at the NHL level it's even more exciting and late in the third like that it's a great feeling for sure, I'm glad it went in," Sceviour said.
The 24-year-old scored his first career goal in his season debut on Saturday versus Winnipeg and Tuesday's tally came in his fourth NHL game.
Dan Ellis stopped 25-of-27 shots faced in giving No. 1 netminder Kari Lehtonen a breather.
Lehtonen is 2-3-2 with a 3.80 goals against average in seven games this month and is likely to get the start tonight. He is just 4-7-0 with a 3.10 GAA in his career versus the Canucks, but did stop 42 shots in a 2-1 road win on Nov. 17.
It was the Stars' second straight win over the Canucks and third in the past four meetings. However, they have lost five of seven at home versus Vancouver.
Luongo made 21 saves in the November loss, falling to 13-6-3 with a 2.14 GAA and two shutouts lifetime versus the Stars.

Hello everyone!
I am new to this game and the board, but I have a very important suggestion / request that I think will be very helpful for this game.
I love playing games with a mouse, but only if the controls are right.
My recommendation is - allow players to choose how the mouse works by allowing each button to do multiple things.
My preference!
Left Button - Click Select
Middle Button (mouse wheel) - Zoom in/out
Right Button - Click to move / Hold down to pan camera around
Now with the current game settings, there is no way for me to assign the following controls to the right mouse button to 'Click to Move' and 'Hold down to pan camera around'. That is a very big game changer for me as I have no middle button and it's very frustrating.
Please add the following option to the game if you can, as it will be very helpful for me and I'm sure others to have this kind of options.
Thank you very much!
Mouse Countrols (Request)

PERTH, Australia (AP) — Australian officials say search operations for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have been suspended for the day due to bad weather.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority says all planes that headed for the search area in the southern Indian Ocean earlier Thursday are now returning to Perth and ships are leaving too.
Heavy rains, strong winds, low clouds and reduced visibility are expected in the search zone, which is about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth.
Eleven planes and five ships had planned to scour the area on Thursday for Flight 370, which vanished early March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.
Malaysia says an analysis of the final known satellite signals from the plane shows it went down in the sea.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's basketball team concluded its third week of team practices with an intra-squad, full-game length "Blue and White Scrimmage" on Friday afternoon.
"It took a few minutes for us to get going," head coach Travis Williams said. "But once the players got their minds right, the play really picked up. The main point of the scrimmage was to get different line-ups in the game and develop some team chemistry, and I was pleased that we were able to do that in this type of setting."
In the game, the White team led, 67-48, before the coaching staff called for an overtime period. In that session, the White team edged the Blue by seven points.
Senior guard Patrick Miller had 24 points and five assists in a winning-effort, while M.J. Rhett chipped in 18 points and 10 boards.
"I was really pleased with some of our returners like Pat, M.J. and Jay Harris. They played well offensively, but we have to have a better defensive effort, team-wide," Williams said.
For the Blue squad, Alex Bates led the way with eight points and four rebounds. Jaleel Queary added eight points of his own and two assists.
A set of four NCAA approved referees officiated the contest that started at 4 p.m. in the Gentry Center. The contest gave Big Blue players and coaches their first looks at college basketball's new rules and regulations.
"The NCAA is trying to eliminate some of the hand and body checks from the game to get players more space to score. The major thing is that the new rules change the way that a defender can guard. It was great for us to get some experience with a tightly officiated game," Williams said.
The White team consisted of Miller, Rhett, Harris, Kennedy Eubanks, Jamonte Graham, Rhyan Townes, Jaylen Reid and Michael Green. Bates, Queary, Gerald Williams, Ugo Mmonu, Jacquan Nobles, Jordan Gaither, Chaed Wellian and Cameron Johnson represented the Blue squad.
The Tennessee State men's basketball team will continue to work hard in preparation of its first regular season game on Nov. 8 at the University of Hawai'i.

I was doing a dummy implementation and I find out that the definition of CL_INVALID_DEVICE_LIST is missing in the .h file,
it is supposed to be returned by clCreateContext if the list of devices specified cannot be used together to create a context.
Should not be defined there? Perhaps in between the following lines
#define CL_INVALID_VALUE -30
#define CL_INVALID_DEVICE_TYPE -31
#define CL_INVALID_DEVICE -32
#define CL_INVALID_CONTEXT -33

This week's Drunk Jays Fans podcast was another knee slapper, even if it wasn't downloadable on iTunes for the second week in a row. (And yes, we know there are workarounds to get the damn mp3 on our iPod, but it's immensely more satisfying for us to pout and complain about sitting in front of our computer to listen.)
This week's guest was ESPN.com's Keith Law, who indulged in a bit of schadenfreude at the shite state of affairs in which his former boss J.P. Ricciardi finds himself. Law is very funny, and to be perfectly honest, we could see ourselves letting loose on some of our former employers given half the chance.
Clearly, these guys aren't BFF's. But before we pile on J.P., it bears noting that the very public sniping between he and Law began when the latter published a report on the four-letter's site stating that "Vernon Wells has told Blue Jays' management that he has no intention of signing a contract extension to stay in Toronto."
Vernon repudiated the statement immediately, and J.P. quipped that "He's become a writer. It doesn't take long. Keith Law is officially an idiot." (The whole sordid tale can be found here and here.)
(CLARIFICATION: This tomfoolery happened in 2006...lest anyone think that this sniping was a recent thing.)
Just because Vernon reupped in Toronto, it doesn't necessarily mean that there was absolutely no validity to Law's story. Maybe one morning, after rolling up the rim and coming up empty once again, he exclaimed to any one of KLaw's possible sources in the Jays' front offices that he was done in Toronto. Really...it coulda happened that way.
Whatever the case, Keith Law goofed on this one and J.P. goofed on Ricky Romero, so we guess that makes it all even, right?
Ultimately, Law was a junior employee who disagreed with his superior, which probably happens about a billion times a day. It's just that not everyone has the bully pulpit of the Worldwide Leader to dump on their former boss.
And since we're dumping on sacred monsters...
Commenter Silvestre had an interesting take on Mike Wilner's last words about Ernie Whitt, which we think bears mentioning here:
"Funny that in mentioning he will not discuss Whitt anymore, Wilner induces a flurry of posts bashing Whitt, and links to the story. So now everyone knows what an asshole Whitt is without needing to divulge any details - mission accomplished.
Similar to the Toth incident a couple of weeks back where Wilner mentioned he would never attack a fellow broadcaster like Toth did and then let the posters pile on the slamming and ad hominem attacks. I generally like Wilner, but he is a sly one."

After watching the '90 Taurus SHO commercial, I got to wondering about other engines with great-looking intakes. You know, the kind you'd like to clean up and hang on your wall as fine art.
There's the whole family of Chrysler cross-ram intakes of the early 1960s, and they get added coolness points for sporting names such as Sonoramic. You got your Porsche 928 and your Audi RS4 (see photo, above).
I've got a soft spot for backyard-built intakes, such as this sheet-metal job on the Theoretical Racing 280ZX 24 Hours of LeMons racer.
OK, fine, it causes a slight case of fuel puddling, but that just makes the car look better on the track!
So, what's your favorite intake? Why?

New York Times blogger Nate Silver earned some fame during the 2008 election for accurately predicting the presidential winner in 49 of 50 states.
He didn't disappoint in 2012 either.
Silver has accurately guessed all of the called races in the presidential contest. Florida has yet to be decided yet, but Silver could run the table if President Barack Obama maintains his thin margin over Republican Mitt Romney.
So if you are counting, Silver is 98-99 on picking the Electoral College. Vegas should fear him.
Silver was so confident about his prediction that he was willing to wager $2,000 with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Obama winning re-election. The New York Times later called the bet "a bad idea" and "inappropriate," according to the Huffington Post.
Scarborough, however, might not have had the best of luck with friendly wagers though.
The MSNBC host bet Obama advisor David Axelrod that he would grow a mustache if Obama won North Carolina or Florida. Romney captured North Carolina, but he is facing an uphill battle in the Sunshine State.
If that happens, Silver runs the table and Scarborough gets a mustache just in time for Movember.

The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, is scheduled to open on March 22 at Union College, in what will be the final production for local theater icon Rebecca Pettys, who is scheduled to retire in this spring.
This play also marks the beginning of a new era for Rector Little Theatre visitors, who will be among the first to view the stage from a renovated floor plan that includes new seats.
Performances continue on March 23, 24, 30 and 31. Curtain for all performances is 8PM and tickets are $7. Due to the new seating layout, latecomers will not be admitted. This play is not suitable for children.
Set in 1183, this play has everything: laughter, tears, and chills. Henry II, King of England, lets his wife, Eleanor, out of prison and gathers his three sons to celebrate the Christmas season. The chess game commences. All three sons, Richard, Geoffrey, John, want to become the next king of England. Henry and Eleanor each with a favorite son's plot, embrace, and go for the jugular in a series of battles, both verbal and physical.
Playing Eleanor of Aquitaine is Rebecca Ansary who appeared in leading roles in many plays before arriving at Union to take the helm at the Rector Little Theatre as Dr. Pettys. Some of her favorite characters are the title role in Hedda Gabler, Miss Alma in Summer and Smoke, and Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Muse Watson.
Dan Covington is playing Henry II. His extensive acting experience is familiar to Union College Theatre audiences who have enjoyed seeing him in a variety of challenging roles such as Creon in Antigone, Sloane in A Case of Libel, and, most memorably, as Juror Three in Twelve Angry Jurors.
These two have clashed onstage twice before: as the murderous couple in Iphigeneia at Aulisand as rival siblings in The Little Foxes.
Ansary and Covington are supported by an exciting group of Union students, some Union College Theatre veterans and some astonishing newcomers.
Emily Baker, who has broken hearts as fragile characters in such plays as The Little Foxes andCharley's Aunt, takes on the role of Alais. She is a French princess who was sent to England at a very young age to become the future bride of Richard, the Lionheart. Now at twenty three, she is in love with Henry, the man, rather than Henry, the powerful king. This makes her vulnerable.
In the past, Chris Adams has been seen in very different roles: as the lecherous, self-centered Leo in The Little Foxes and the shy nerd who can interact with others only through his puppet in Amateurs. Now, he takes on the role of young Phillip, the new king of France who joins the Christmas festivities to present ultimatums and to plot and plan.
Making his second appearance on the Union College Theatre stage is Samson Anderson. InAmateurs, he portrayed an aging lothario with buried vulnerabilities. Now he is Geoffrey, the middle son whose parents' indifference has forced him to become a calculating kingmaker.
Newcomers Brad Fulton and Allen Cole play the oldest and youngest sons, respectively. A member of the football team who won the brass lantern back from the University of the Cumberlands, Brad is a perfect fit for Richard the Lionheart. Over and above looking the part, Brad is able to handle the softer side of this military hero with good heart.
Allen Cole, on the injured list, is on loan from the baseball team. He brings energy, enthusiasm, as well as a touching sincerity to the part of John, a spoiled brat of sixteen. Henry's favorite, John will grow up to be the infamous King John of Robin Hood legend.
The cast is supported by an able crew of Union students. Heading the Technical staff is Cortni Thrasher as stage manager. She is joined by veterans JoAnna Ezell, Alexandra Estes, Erin Cooper, Samantha Caldwell, Rebekah Seifu, Krystal Webb, Keith Parker, and Steven Rodriguez. Newcomers on the crew are Kaitie Crawford and Lauren Stage.

Kagame: Defend Kalinga
Demands Justice For Alleged Torture Victim
Re: "Rwandese Alleges Abominable Uganda Torture"
(www.blackstarnews.com June 13, 2007). Enough is enough. The problems
between Rwanda and Uganda started in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
when the two countries' armies clashed and worsened when Uganda accused
Rwanda of hosting People's Redemption Army (PRA) rebels hostile to
The problems got even worse when Ugandan security agents kidnapped a
Rwandan diplomat in Kampala, the first secretary, John Ngarambe,
despite his diplomatic immunity; he was accused of having an affair
with somebody's wife. Ironically, there was never any complaint from
the husband—instead security organs attacked a respected diplomat.
Now we learn of the kidnapping and torture of a young Rwandan, Acleo
Kalinga, in Uganda, for a period of two years; and security organs are
denying any wrong doing. Uganda's Attorney General should prepare to
justify a two year detention with torture. We have no further question
for security organs; they did what they were instructed to-kidnap and
What should poor Kalinga do now, since he is left vulnerable and with
nothing at all? We need for the security organs to be brought to
justice. Kalinga was released only after having a chance to meet
Ugandan Member of Parliament Hussein Kyanjo who publicized his plight
and sounded an alarm. Even after his release there were moves to
re-arrest him by Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI). Why was
Kalinga, a civilian, detained in Makindye military barracks? Why is
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni harassing Rwandans?
Goliath's attack on David was his last move in life. We want to hear
how the Ugandan government can legally justify a two year detention.
Uganda should be totally cut off from financial support from donor states because of these human rights abuses.
The President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, should note that an attack on
Rwanda nationals is also an attack on him; stand up Gen. Kagame for
your children being harassed by Uganda.
