Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, Regions Bank, the engineering firm Gresham, Smith and Partners, Freeland Chevrolet and several other well-known companies and firms. Influential Metro lobbyist James Weaver, an attorney at Waller Law, is also on the board.

Briley was sworn in as Metro’s eighth mayor Tuesday to replace Barry, who resigned as part of a plea deal with District Attorney Glenn Funk amid a criminal probe by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into her affair with her former police bodyguard.

But Briley is only guaranteed to serve for about five or six months. The Metro Charter requires that a mayoral election take placeduring the next Metro general election, Aug. 2, to replace Barry full-time. The Davidson County Election Commission is set to meet Friday to add the mayoral election to the ballot

However, the four-year mayoral term inherited by Briley expires in August 2019, meaning another election will take place then.

No one has formally entered this year's race. And despite the business coalition’s endorsement, Briley has not said whether he will run.

“There's plenty of days for politics, but this ain't one of them," Briley said shortly after his swearing-in Tuesday.

Nevertheless, several names have emerged as possible contenders.

In addition to Briley and Gilmore, they include Nashville real estate professional Bill Freeman and businessman David Fox, who both lost to Barry in the 2015 election, Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall, businessman Stuart McWhorter,


business coalition also heaped praise on Briley, calling him "an experienced and capable leader who is exactly the leadership Nashville needs during this transition and for the next 18 months."

Although Briley, a former councilman, lacked support from the business community during an unsuccessful 2007 campaign for mayor, he aligns with them on a major issue this year.

Briley is pushing for passage of Nashville's May 1 referendum on a $5.4 billion transit proposal, which the Nashville Business Coalition backs. Meanwhile, other possible mayoral contenders, Cooper and Fox, have opposed the transit plan.

Freeman, chairman of Freeman Webb who finished third behind Barry and Fox in the 2015 mayor's election, is a fierce critic of the chamber. Freeman could not be reached for comment on the business coalition's statement.

Asked whether themight change my mind later, but right now, I'm thirsty.' He reached out and caught the arm of a passing servingman. 'Ale,' he ordered. 'And don't take all day.'

'Keep your hands to yourself,' the servingman told him. 'Are you with him?' He pointed at the Nadrak they had joined.

'We're sitting with him, aren't we?'

'You want three cups or four?'

'I want one – for now. Bring the others what they want, too. I'll pay for the first time around.'

The servingman grunted sourly and pushed his way off through the crowd, pausing long enough to kick a dog out of his way.

Silk's offer seemed to quiet their Nadrak companion's belligerence. 'You've picked a bad time to come to town,' he told them. 'The whole region's crawling with Mallorean recruiters.'

'I've known him for years, Drosta,' Yarblek replied. 'This is Prince Kheldar of Drasnia. He's also known as Silk and sometimes Ambar of Kotu or Radek of Boktor. He's a thief, a swindler, and a spy. Aside from that, he's not too bad.'

'We are delighted to meet so famous a man,' King Drosta declared. 'Welcome, Prince Kheldar.'

'Your Majesty,' Silk replied, bowing.

'I'd have invited you to the palace,' Drosta continued, 'but I've got some house guests with the unfortunatea few miles,' she told him sweetly. 'That may give you some insight into how the infantry feels.'

Anheg scowled, but remained silent.

Princess Ce'Nedra pulled in her sweating mount as the column halted. The princess had spoken very little since Adara had been wounded. The dreadful sense of her responsibility for her friend's nearly fatal injury had sobered her enormously, and she had retreated into a kind of shell that was totally unnatural for her. She removed the loose-woven straw hat that a captive Thull had made for her back at the fort and squinted at the blistering sky.

'Put the hat back on, Ce'Nedra,' Lady Polgara told her. 'I don't want you getting sunstroke.'

Ce'Nedra obediently put her hat back on. 'He's coming back,' she reported, pointing at a speck


long iron hooks, the sailors lifted three large earthenware pots out of the coals. The pots contained a seething mixture of tar, pitch, and naptha. They were quickly dipped in tar barrels and then hastily wrapped in naptha-soaked rags. Then they were placed in the baskets of the waiting engines.

As the arrow-boats, speeding like greyhounds, swept in close to shore where the Malloreans struggled to aim their catapults, the arrow-bundles were suddenly hurled high into the air by the lashing arms of the Cherek engines. The arrows rose swiftly, then slowed at the top of their arching flight, separating and spreading out as they flew. Then, in a deadly rain, they fell upon the red-tunicked Malloreans.

Durnik, however, gave the men a startled look, then suddenly reached for his sword.

But the men in Sendarian jerkins had jumped down from the bank and were already upon them. It took three of them to disarm the powerful smith and to hold his arms.

'You're not Sendars,' Durnik exclaimed, struggling with his captors.

'How clever of you to notice,' one of them replied in an accent so guttural that it was almost unintelligible. Another of them drew his sword and stood over the dazed Polgara. 'Stop fighting, friend,' he told Durnik with an ugly smirk, 'or I'll kill

"Grey's Anatomy" and "Knocked Up" star Katherine Heigl options film rights to "Lost & Found" by Jacqueline Sheehan, a novel about a psychologist reeling from her husband's death who moves to Maine, where she finds friendship -- and emotional strength -- through her relationship with a Labrador retriever.

The players

Heigl inks an option deal with a six-figure purchase price for her new production company, in tandem with her mother, Nancy, her producing partner and manager, represented by Paradigm; Sarah Self at the Gersh Agency and Jenny Bent at Trident Media Group represent Sheehan, whose book was published by Avon A, an imprint of HarperCollins.

The back story

Heigl, basking in the glow of her Emmy for "Grey's Anatomy" and her star turn in "Knocked Up," isjumping into the hot book-to-film market. She snapped up rights to Sheehan's novel, which has 120,000 copies in print, because "it's a sensitive and honest portrayal of loss and the journey toward healing and starting over," showing "the profound bond that exists between humans and animals," her mom said.

On the surface, the deal is just one of many film options taken out on books every month. But to those who brokered it, Heigl's push to seek out the film rights on her own illustrates a growing trend among young Hollywood stars, who are proactively snaring the rights to promising literary material. "Lost & Found" is the second novel by Sheehan, a psychologist and essayist.

"This is a trend that is definitely booming," said Self, who is based in New


Editorial (November 29, 2016) – The Colorado Rapids 2016 season ended this past Sunday in a heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Sounders. Still, this was the best season in club history on several levels. With only a few off-season decisions to make, the future is bright for the club. Here’s a full recap of their 2016 campaign.

Colorado Rapids 2016 Season Review

First off, this season was historic for the Rapids. They signed two big name players in Jermaine Jones and Tim Howard. They set a record for points with 58 in a 34 game season. Colorado almost won the Supporter’s Shield in the process. The club also set several MLS records for points per game at home, goals conceded at home, etc.

And they did this all in a yearwhen they were picked to finish at the bottom of the Western Conference. Even without a trophy, this was a historic season for the Colorado Rapids. 2016 was an excellent building block for the future standard and success of this club.

What Went Right

The defense and the home record. Colorado were the only team in MLS to not lose a home game in the regular season. Dick’s Sporting Goods Park became a fortress at altitude for the club, going 13-1-6 in all competitions. The Rapids developed a systematic way of winning at home: let the other team have the ball, give them nothing, defend by committee, create chances, and finish the ones you get. Once they got a lead, they rarely gave it up.

All of this stemmed from the


mantras Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni instituted from the start of the season. #NextManUp, #KeepFighting, believe in yourselves and in each other no matter what the outside says. Soccer is a game of will and composure. Mastroeni helped turn the club around from the off-season. With contributions from the front office, he came up with a system of play and philosophy, put his veterans in a position to lead, and got out of the way.

Defensively, the club was the best in MLS. Axel Sjoberg had a Defender of the Year nominee season, being solid on the ground and in the air. Bobby Burling proved to be a physical force and Jared Watts was a serviceable back up. In the midfield, Captain Sam Cronin and Michael Azira were the fulcrumlater on in the season and most DPs improve in their second year in MLS. He should be better and more impactful in 2017. Howard is also on the mend.

There is some uncertainty with Jones, who tweeted out (then deleted it) that he is out of contract. The Rapids are in a sticky situation with Jones. He was great in the games he played in. But he was only healthy for a third of the season. Jones is going to want a DP or TAM level contract. For health reasons, he just isn’t worth that.

Colorado will also have to make decisions with with the 2016 Expansion Draft.

After that, the Rapids will need to address the attack. A new signing or two is probably needed. That said, they will


for union workers, many of whom backed Trump in 2016 hoping for local growth, stronger unions as jobs returned to America, and a Nafta overhaul, according to James Kunz Jr. He’s business manager for Local 66 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, representing about 7,000 workers in western Pennsylvania and Ohio. A third of his members voted for Trump in 2016, he estimates, but this time it’s different: some Republican candidates support right-to-work legislation, which would hurt his membership, Kunz says.

"What I kept thinking about was all of these children who couldn't actually make it to medical care because they live in the remote parts of Yemen and the rural areas where there are no facilities, or those who couldn't afford to pay," Touma said.

The transformation of paradise into purgatory, with hell firmly in sight, gets imposing visual treatment in Chinese filmmaker Zhao Liang's Behemoth. This image-based hybrid of documentary and poetic allegory is a plaintive account of the rape of the Earth by coal-mining companies in the Inner Mongolian grasslands, and of the dehumanizing existence of local and Chinese migrant workers. Alternating between grimly beautiful passages and others that, frankly, are dull and dutiful, this is a rigorous exercise with something of a trance quality, which builds to a forceful payoff at the end.

Zhao and his French co-writer (and producer) Sylvie Blum draw inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy, beginning with the image of a massive rock crater ruptured by explosions that send clouds of black coal dust billowing into


workers sifting or shoveling rocks. But then the focus shifts to stirring close-ups of their emotionless faces and black-rimmed eyes, every pore and line caked with coal dust, which Zhao descriptively calls "inky makeup." He observes them scouring their skin to remove the grime before sitting down to a bowl of soup. In one especially expressive shot, a naked baby boy industriously scrapes away at the ground around him with a stick, as if programmed by instinct to prepare for his future. No commentary is required to note the juxtaposition of extremely basic living conditions against an industry generating huge profits.

In the film's most strikingly cinematic section, the screen turns to red as Zhao's camera enters the nearby ironworks. The staggering heat and intensity of the furnaces ispalpable, and the baked faces of workers stream with sweat as the cacophonous noise of the machinery gives way to deafened silence when they exit on breaks. Zhao's words perhaps overstate the theme of a living hell fueled by greed, but there's nothing prosaic about the inferno-esque images.

The most unsettling passages of Behemoth show the heavy toll of this life on the alarming number of workers battling lung disease, denied aid by both their industrial overlords and their government. And the film moves toward a conclusion of grave lyricism in which Zhao reveals the paradox of all this human drudgery and environmental violation helping to create pristine but empty clusters of apartment towers in urban satellite centers. The destruction of a natural paradise has yielded luxury graveyards, transformed


Idiopathic anaphylaxis. An attempt to estimate the incidence in the United States.
Idiopathic anaphylaxis has been described and classified, and increasing numbers of cases are being seen in the United States and abroad. Treatment regimens have been shown to be effective in prophylactic management. There is no available information about the number of cases in the United States. We attempted to determine the number of cases of idiopathic anaphylaxis in the United States by mailing a questionnaire to all graduates (for the last 31 years) of the Northwestern University Allergy-Immunology Fellowship training program. Response to the questionnaire was 100%, and 633 cases were reported by this survey of 75 allergists. The current total number of identified cases of idiopathic anaphylaxis from all reports of cases in the United Statesis 1020. By extrapolation of the cases of idiopathic anaphylaxis reported by the allergists surveyed to the approximately 4000 allergists in the United States, the estimated number of cases in the United States is between 20,592 and 47,024. Idiopathic anaphylaxis is potentially fatal, represents a source of major medical health care costs, causes anxiety to patients and families, occurs in pediatric and adult populations, and is controlled by appropriate regimens. The estimated number of cases emphasizes the need for careful attention to idiopathic anaphylaxis by physicians.

The CW

Network president Mark Pedowitz is fresh off saying farewell to Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and iZombie and is poised to part ways with network-defining hits Supernatural and Arrow (as well as The 100) during the 2019-2020 season. The exec, broadcast's longest-tenured chief, will stick with what works as he looks for more shows


from DC Comics and Archie's Riverdale world. As for renewing low-rated rookies All American and In the Dark, digital returns cemented those pickups as The CW's new digital strategy will likely help boost linear viewership. Also, for the love of at least our sanity, please stop asking about Supernatural spinoffs. It. is. never. going. to. happen.

ABC

Karey Burke's second time before the press at TCA did not go as smoothly as her first. The ABC Entertainment president's message about the strength of broadcast — and the Disney-owned broadcaster since January — was totally overshadowed by a show that wasn't even at TCA. Taking the stage and facing a barrage of questions about former The Rookie star Afton Williamson's allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination, Burke — like ABCand producers Entertainment One — was still looking for answers from an investigation that launched in June. As for disgruntled Fresh Off the Boat star Constance Wu and embattled Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss, all is allegedly fine. It was a decidedly different press tour for Burke, who has a reputation for speaking her mind, as she did when she unveiled her focus on bringing women back to the network during her February debut.

FX

FX chief John Landgraf, the so-called Mayor of Television, did not deliver one of his more recent state of the industry missives, but instead used his first TCA as a Disney employee to stress how much exciting content is coming to his network, which continues to grow its original roster with a robust nonfiction slate. News of that, as well as that Atlanta is back on track to begin production on season three — and four! — inspring 2020 was totally overshadowed by the biggest headline to come out of TCA. In a carefully orchestrated announcement that somehow never leaked, Landgraf revealed Impeachment, the Monica Lewinsky-produced third season of Emmy-winning anthology American Crime Story. The star-studded season will debut mere weeks before the presidential election in 2020, which was met with near immediate backlash that elicited obvious frustration from the typically cool Landgraf. "I don't believe it's going to determine who is the next president of the United States," he said. "I think that's a little hysterical."

In other news: Snowfall will return for a fourth season.

made an impression with his rendition and re-enactment of Seven’s song 와줘. Considering he was quite a fresh trainee whom only trained for 3 months prior to the show, it was good use of his basic training to impress. His taekwondo-style finishing and hardworking personality has kept him up in the rankings thus far. He also impressed many with his rap performance in winning concept evaluation song “U GOT IT”. With this performance, he took the top spot from the live voting of the concept evaluation (after all winning benefits).

Kim Woo Seok 김우석 (TOP Media)

Woo Seok is not a new boy on the blocks, but akin to the NU’EST members back in season 2, he debuted with UP10TION with the name Wooshin. Has the typical Korean pretty boylook, he made waves with his good looks even without makeup; but subsequently also had some negative moments when he tried hard to convince his “U GOT IT” members not to take in the “revived” member from the previous votings.

The first time he caught my attention was during his “Love Shot” performance during the first “Group X Battle”. Definitely a frontrunner to be in the final 11 given his strong fan support.

Song Hyeong Jun 송형준 (Starship Entertainment)

The story of Hyeong Jun also makes for the typical rise from the dead story, that the “Produce” series was so famous for. First time in history, the Starship Entertainment trainees messed up in their initial ranking performances. Hyeong Jun was the focus of a dressing down from the trainers when failing


to response to a request for a solo dance performance. Given the “X” rank, he took the lead in training all the “X” ranked trainees the dance for “X1-MA (_지마)”, and that spells the beginning of his rise to the top echelon of the show.

It’s pretty hard to actually resist his cute boyish looks, as well as his shy demeanour throughout the episodes of the show.

Kim Min Gyu 김민규 (Jellyfish Entertainment)

It was pretty hard to pinpoint Min Gyu’s rise to popularity, but perhaps he represents the hardworking group of trainees, whom also rose from the “X” ranks. He was also sent to the “X” ranks during the initial ranking, where he was criticised for his lack of ability, but humbly accepted his rank and recognising that he waslacking in many areas. Following the initial setback, he became the “model trainee” where he was extremely enthusiastic during trainings.

As much as he tries his best in improving, he still suffered some setback in the recent episodes where he struggled, and played catch up in practising for the various evaluation performances. He still remains one to watch for the top 11 in our opinions.

Nam Do Hyun 남도현 (MBK Entertainment)

Nam Do Hyun was dubbed as a genius having only trained for 5 months in his agency, but put on an eye-catching performance during initial grading. He went on to impress after each performance as mainly an adept rapper oozing with charisma. His charismatic disposition exploded during his performance of “Monday to Sunday” during Concept Evaluation, where he took the

Ever since Saddam's ouster, Sunnis have mounted protests against the state, saying under Maliki they are discriminated against, tortured and imprisoned unfairly.

"So in some ways the ground is set of alternative leadership to take over in these places," Alice says.

The fighting has also created a humanitarian crisis. As we've reported, an estimated 500,000 people have fled Mosul since the fighting began Saturday — and the fighting is just beginning.

The New York Times reports that the White House rejected a request from Maliki last month to carry out airstrikes against the advancing militants. The newspaper says the administration is reluctant to get involved in a conflict that it declared over in 2011 when it withdrew the last of its forces. And it adds:

"The Obamaadministration has carried out drone strikes against militants in Yemen and Pakistan, where it fears terrorists have been hatching plans to attack the United States. But despite the fact that Sunni militants have been making steady advances and may be carving out new havens from which they could carry out attacks against the West, administration spokesmen have insisted that the United States is not actively considering using warplanes or armed drones to strike them."

The president said it was clear that Iraq needed more help from the U.S. and the international community, adding militants must not be allowed to gain a foothold in the country or in neighboring Syria.

Later, White House press secretary Jay Carney clarified that the U.S. is not contemplating sending ground troops to Iraq and that

Gentleman Jack Keller

Keller served in the United States Air Force prior to becoming a poker pro. He was an excellent player at all poker forms who loved to take risks. When Seven-Card Stud was popular Jack was know as on of the strongest stud players. And his low ball talent was described as “Murderous”.

Jack played like many other successful players aggressively, sometimes too aggressively. Maybe because he never worried about money, though why should he, he was always winning plenty. The only one thing that spoilt the whole picture was his substance abuse.

Don’t think he earned his nickname “Gentleman” by being one. He acquired it from the press corps of “Gentleman Jack” when he was working at the stock market.

for a speech. But he demurred, saying he was not yet prepared and, since journalists reported his every word, he wanted to make no mistakes. At one point, he deflected the importuning crowd by asking a band to play “Dixie,” a favorite tune. He joked the Union had now captured it as a prize of war.

Finally, on the evening of April 11, Lincoln appeared on the second-floor balcony of the North Portico of the White House. A vast assemblage greeted him with boisterous cheers and waves of applause. The manuscript rolled in his hand consisted of 12 pages, and after reading each page he allowed it to drop to the floor where Tad scampered about picking them up. Following the speech, a visitor found the president in hisstate constitutions that abolished slavery.

He then focused on Louisiana, where some 12,000 voters swore allegiance to the Union, held elections and adopted a free state constitution. But Congress, in its just concluded session, refused to seat the representatives from the state. This confounded Lincoln, who asked twice, “Can Louisiana be brought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new state government?”

Lincoln was appealing directly to the people. He wanted reunion to proceed swiftly and smoothly. Time and again in the previous two months he had spoken of mercy as well as justice. While in Richmond the previous week he told one officer who asked what to do with the prisoners to “let ’em up easy.” In his Second Inaugural Address, he


invoked the Bible: “judge not that we be not judged.”

At the same time, he offered qualified support for black suffrage. Perhaps part of his motivation was to mollify the Radical Republicans who had opposed his wartime reconstruction plans. But Lincoln also understood that having the vote would help protect the freedmen from being victimized after the war by former Confederates. In March 1864, Lincoln had made his thoughts known privately in a letter to Louisiana’s governor, suggesting that the enfranchisement of the educated and those who served in the army was a way to “keep the jewel of liberty within the family of freedom.” Now, on April 11, he publicly endorsed black suffrage.

John Wilkes Booth lurked among the attentive crowd. “That is the last speech he will evermake,” he remarked as he and a co-conspirator, Lewis Powell, walked away. Three days later he made good on this threat.

Because of Tad’s playful efforts, the manuscript of Lincoln’s last speech was preserved. It must have been included among the papers that Secretary of War Edwin Stanton had sealed and that Lincoln’s secretaries, John Hay and John Nicolay, shipped to Illinois soon after the assassination. Those papers arrived under guard at the home of Associate Justice David Davis, whom Robert Todd Lincoln had asked to administer his father’s estate.

The papers remained sealed within the vault of the National Bank at Bloomington, Ill. In 1874, Robert Todd Lincoln had the papers sent to Nicolay in Washington for use in an exhaustive biography of Lincoln that he was planning with


Hay.

Decades later, when Basler examined Lincoln’s last speech for inclusion in the “Collected Works,” he relied on a photocopy of a Photostat from the Library of Congress located in the files of the Illinois State Historical Society, which is now the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. On the back of that photocopy appears “Original owned by Congressman James W. Wadsworth.”

How did Wadsworth end up with the manuscript of Lincoln’s last speech? One possibility is that Robert Todd Lincoln gave it to him. Wadsworth was a senator during the time of the construction of the Lincoln Memorial, and he had served on the nonpartisan Lincoln Memorial Committee of the National Republican Club in New York.

There was precedent for Robert Todd Lincoln’s generosity: In 1916, he presented the drafta stretch to believe that, nearly three decades later, it was not perfectly clear which documents he had been given and which he simply had obtained. Alice Hay Wadsworth, for her part, was deeply invested in justifying the retention of Lincoln documents in her father’s personal papers, never more so than after 1909 when it was discovered that Hay possessed a draft of the Gettysburg Address.

Somehow, the bound original manuscript of the last speech ended up in the hands of James F. Drake, a prominent New York collector of autograph letters. While Wadsworth’s reasons for parting with the speech are unknown, it is revealing who purchased it: Joan Whitney Payson, Wadsworth’s niece. Her maternal grandfather was John Hay. Her mother, Helen Julia Hay, was Alice’s older sister. The


his final public address to the nation in which he articulated his plans and hopes for peace, offered a stout defense of his policies up to that date, and looked ahead to a reunited nation in which some black men could vote. In some ways, it is the speech that got him killed.

On March 4, 2015, the Library of Congress displayed the original manuscript of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. Thousands of visitors passed through the Great Hall of the Thomas Jefferson Building to view the address on the occasion of the sesquicentennial. Lincoln delivered his final speech less than six weeks after his second inaugural. Hopefully, the public will one day be given an opportunity to see it.

In May 1967, Egypt expelled the United Nations peacekeeping forces stationed in the Sinai desert and deployed its army along its border with Israel, its moves coordinated with those of Jordan and Syria.

Long Synopsis:

In May 1967, Egypt expelled the United Nations peacekeeping forces stationed in the Sinai desert and deployed its army along its border with Israel, its moves coordinated with those of Jordan and Syria. By June, Israel realized that the international community would not act, and launched a pre-emptive strike against the combined Arab forces. The ensuing Six Day War (June 5-10, 1967) was a crushing defeat for the Arab world, one that tripled the area controlled by Israel and which sowed the seeds for the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and the continuing strife inthe region. Written by the author of Osprey's Yom Kippur War, this volume covers the background to the war and the campaign against the Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula, including the initial devastating air assault that showed the world how vital air supremacy was in modern combat.


Cybersecurity and Privacy Concerns at the Highest Levels of Government

As is the case with many large institutions, federal agencies are playing catch-up with advances in technology, though some are succeeding better than others. On July 31, 2012, we learned from Gregory C. Wilshusen, director of information security issues at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO-12-96IT), that “Federal Law Should Be Updated to Address Changing Technology Landscape.” Two days later, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S.3414) failed to win a cloture vote that would allow the Senate to vote on the bill before the August recess.

Debutant Australian off spinner Jason Krejza had two catches of Sachin Tendulkar dropped off his bowling on his first day of Test cricket, but sounded pleased overall with his end-of-the-day haul of three wickets in the fourth and final Test against India in Nagpur on Thursday.

"It was good to have a chance to bowl. Initially I had a bout of nerves but kept it down. I have been here for six weeks (as part of the visiting team) and was prepared to play," he said.

"It was an enjoyable to get a couple of wickets. I couldn't have asked for more," said the bowler who became a spinner after a stress fracture put paid to his hopes of bowling


fast when he was 13.

Tendulkar was dropped at deep mid off when on 85 and 96 off Krejza before the Indian master batsman completed his 40th Test ton (109) on the first day of the series decider.

Krejza, preferred in the team in place of pacer Stuart Clark to take advantage of the track at the newly built VCA stadium that is already aiding spin, said he was prepared for the assault he faced from the Indian batsmen, especially Virender Sehwag, when he came on to bowl.

"I expected them to come after me in the first over itself. Once I got over it I managed to keep my head on my shoulders," said the Tasmanian player, who ended the first day with figures of 3 for 138 in anIndian score of 311 for five.

Krejza said he took advantage of some footmarks while ending up with a three-wicket haul.

"It's a difficult pitch. Initially it was difficult to bowl on but there were a couple of footmarks that helped me. Still I had to be patient. There's some spin and bounce (on the wicket)," said the player who has also played rugby.

High School Winners of Siemens Competition

WASHINGTON, D.C.--High school students researching astrophysics and nanoscale conductance in metals won the top prizes at the Siemens Westinghouse Science and Technology Competition today. Each of the two winning projects--one by an individual and one by a team--beat out five competitors to win a $100,000 college scholarship.

This is the second year for the Siemens Westinghouse competition, not to be confused with the 59-year-old Intel Science Talent Search (formerly known as the Westinghouse Talent Search). Last year, Siemens, a German electrical engineering and electronics company that now owns the Westinghouse power generation business, started its own high school science competition after Intel beat out Siemens for sponsorship of the talent search.

This year's winning team studied the remnant of an exploded star with data


collected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Contrary to their mentor's hypothesis, the group of three seniors at the North Carolina School of Science and Math in Durham showed that the remnant was in fact a rapidly rotating neutron star, or pulsar--not a cloud of gas. The group has submitted their research paper to the Astrophysical Journal for publication.

Mariangela Lisanti, a senior at Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut, won the individual prize for developing a novel apparatus to measure the conductance of gold nanowires. Using a piezoelectric speaker element to bring two ends of a gold wire together to form a nanowire, Lisanti then measured the voltage drop with an oscilloscope interfaced with a computer. "It's a very technologically effective way to gather lots of useful information," saysGeorge "Pinky" Nelson, the lead judge of the competition and director of Project 2061 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (ScienceNOW's publisher).

Physicist Robert Fesen says he and the other judges looked at how much work was done by the students themselves, the quality of the report, and how well they understood their experiment, among other criteria. "We were stunned at the general quality [of the projects]," he says. "We were asking the kinds of questions presented to graduate students."

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was not the only prominent Florida official to back Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, despite repeated warnings that it would be seen as a “license to kill” by gunmen like the Sanford, Florida, neighborhood watchman who stands accused of slaying teenager Trayvon Martin.

The rising Republican star of Florida legislature at the time, a young state representative from West Miami who in the next session would become the speaker of the state House, actively supported the “Stand Your Ground” proposal.

That legislator, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, is now being boomed by Jeb Bush for a place on the Republican ticket as the party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee.

Rubio served in the legislature as an ally of the National Rifle Associationand a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council, the shadowy group funded by the Koch brothers to craft and promote passage of measures such as the “Stand Your Ground” law. In reviewing Rubio’s tenure, the Miami Herald noted: “Rubio had an ‘A’ rating by the National Rifle Association. Rubio voted for major NRA priorities such as a 2005 ‘castle doctrine’ law allowing people to use deadly force if attacked in their home or any place a person ‘has a right to be.’ Rubio also supported a 2008 law allowing most employees to bring guns to work, as long as they held a concealed weapons license and kept the gun in their cars.”

China has portrayed the protests as foreign-funded, singling out Britain and the United States for criticism, although it has presented little evidence beyond supportive statements from some foreign politicians.

It has insisted Hong Kong — an international finance hub with a significant foreign population — is an entirely internal matter.

Britain has walked a careful path on the protests, keen to keep Beijing onside as a valuable trade partner, especially given the uncertainty thrown up by its imminent departure from the European Union.

But it has also expressed concerns about the direction Hong Kong has headed and says it has a duty to ensure Beijing upholds the deal it struck before the handover.

The Important Role Jake T. Austin Plays In The Emoji Movie

The Emoji Movie takes place in two worlds. While the shenanigans of T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris, and Maya Rudolph's Emojis unfold within a phone, the device itself actually belongs to a teenager named Alex. Jake T. Austin, who has been tasked with portraying Alex in the animated spectacular, has now opened up about the role, giving us an overview of Alex's journey, and revealing that the character actually wields a whole lot of power in The Emoji Movie. A power that could ultimately erase Textopolis and "the world of the Emojis." Jake T. Austin explained,

I play the boy in the movie. All the other characters, they have experience in life. They're nuanced in relationships and romanticadventures. My character has never even spoken to a girl before. He's so nervous. He's so anxious to have a conversation with a girl that he forget what he's going to say. He ruins it the first time he goes up to her. And in Alex, in this film, he's faced with a dilemma. Does he delete... does he get his phone fixed and erase the world of the Emojis, Textopolis? Or does he work with these Emojis and find out that something inside of him is brewing, a personality he never knew existed.

Jake T. Austin made this admission to me back in May when I sat down with the actor to discuss his role in The Emoji Movie. Alongside chatting to the 22-year-old actor I also got

Heretofore insect control has generally been accomplished by spraying or otherwise applying insecticides and similar chemical agents in and around the building to be protected. Termites and similar insects are sometimes controlled by applying chemical agents beneath the surface of the soil surrounding free standing buildings such as homes, and the like. However, notwithstanding numerous advances in the art of insect control over the years, insects continue to cause substantial problems for owners and occupants of homes and similar buildings. Thus, the need exists for still further improvements in the art.
In accordance with the broader aspects of the present invention, one or more insect controlling chemical agents are incorporated into plastic film, plastic sheeting, non-woven fabrics formed from plastic materials, woven fabrics formed from plastic materials,


and other plastic materials. The plastic materials having the insect controlling chemical agents contained therein are then used in the construction and maintenance of homes and similar buildings. For example, plastic material having insect controlling chemical agents contained therein can be utilized as a vapor barrier between the foundation of the building and the structure constructed thereon. Plastic material having insect controlling agents contained therein can also be used as a wrap surrounding the exterior walls of the building. Plastic material having insect controlling agents contained therein can also be used within the interior of the building for applications such as flooring materials, wall coverings, insulation materials, etc. Plastic material having insect controlling agents contained therein may also be deployed around the exterior of the building.

The XFL rounded out its 2020 head coaching roster this week with a notable name from college football, and but an even bigger name from college football could still be on the league's radar.

Addressing the media after his introduction as the coach and general manager for the XFL's Houston franchise, former longtime Hawaii and SMU coach June Jones suggested ex-Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel could soon have a home in the league.

Jones first explained that he "learned real quick" in his career that "good players make good coaches ... and that obviously starts with the quarterback, No. 1." And when informed Manziel is often a popular suggestion at QB in the area considering the former Cleveland Browns starter was born, raised and came to fame in Texas, Jonesdidn't downplay the possibility of pursuing him.

"I had Johnny in Hamilton," he said, referring to Manziel's 2018 stint with the CFL's Tiger-Cats where Jones was the head coach. "I enjoyed the five or six weeks (with him) ... He played very good for me, actually. Johnny is an interesting guy. He's competitive. He's proven that he has won. He's just been through a lot in the last three or four years. That's kind of a league decision there, but definitely I assume that he'll be in the draft pool. I assume that."

Manziel had previously been an unlikely candidate for the relaunched XFL, as league founder Vince McMahon explicitly told reporters in January 2018 that no players with a criminal record would be allowed to join. Conflicting reports about


Manziel's eligibility emerged at the same time, while Manziel himself tweeted at McMahon in an apparent hint at playing in the XFL.

A Heisman trophy winner at Texas A&M and first-round pick of the Browns in 2014, Manziel is just as well known for his off-field struggles as his football career. A series of arrests and substance abuse issues ended his Cleveland career after just two seasons, and since then, he's bounced around the CFL and now-defunct Alliance of American Football in an effort to resurrect his NFL career. He first landed in the CFL, with Jones as his coach, after months-long negotiations with Hamilton but was traded to the Montreal Alouettes two months later.In the UAE, spreading false information via social media, print, or any other means is illegal.

Haiti pier opens, road laid into Port-au-Prince

U.S. official: Military sometimes confused about what the planes are carrying

Flights with medical supplies being diverted from Haiti, says Doctors Without Borders

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- The U.S. price tag for relief in Haiti has hit $170 million, the federal government announced Thursday as ton after ton of relief supplies headed into the island nation through a crucial reopened pier.

The vast majority of the committed federal aid -- $140 million -- is from the U.S. Agency for International Development under the State Department, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

And the need within Haiti -- still reeling from last week's devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake -- only grows by the minute. After days of being closed to much needed food and supplies, the southpier at Port-au-Prince was channeling aid into the leveled capital city. The supplies were brought into Port-au-Prince on trucks traveling on a repaired gravel road leading from the port.

Sidewalks were crowded with street vendors and kiosks and many small food stores were open. Dozens of stalls at a dusty market sold fruits and vegetables along a pocked and rut-filled dirt side street. A smaller market on a street corner saw some business.

However, the longest and most visible lines in Haiti's capital were not for food, water or gas -- they were for money. Earthquake survivors need cash and are waiting hours outside wire transfer businesses, including Western Union, that are starting to reopen.

"I have not eaten for two days," said 32-year-old Anderson Bellegarde, who waited more than six


hours outside a money-wiring branch. "I'm only drinking water."

Meanwhile, a Dutch Navy ship, the Pelikaan, was docked at the city's south pier Thursday, unloading 90 tons of humanitarian aid. Two other ships had previously offloaded containers.

The reopened pier is older and smaller than the north pier, which was rendered unusable by the January 12 earthquake. The south pier was damaged, but Haiti port authorities and the U.S. military were able to put it back in adequate shape. Workers also repaired the road leading into the city and laid gravel on it.

-- The military is flying into the main airport at Port-au-Prince as well as airports in Jacmel, Haiti, and two cities in the neighboring Dominican Republic.

By Sea:

-- The U.S. military has 20 ships in Port-au-Prince, ranging from aircraft carriers and floating medical hospitals to ships meant to help clear the port.

-- The Navy has set up a logistics field at its base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to support bigger ships in the region.

Unloading of aid, however, was a slow process. The road allows only for one-way traffic, meaning a truck drives to the end of the pier, is loaded with supplies, and then drives out. Also, because of concerns


food and water over Mirebalais, Haiti, on Thursday. Mirebalais is 25 miles northeast of Port-au-Prince. A C-17 delivered water bottles and 17,200 meals ready to eat, the military said in a statement.

Troops secured an area in which to drop the supplies and, once the supplies were on the ground, the military, the U.S. Agency for International Development and other personnel distributed them, the statement said. Nepalese troops also assisted, the Air Force said. Thursday's air drop was the second since the quake; the first was Monday.

Fraser said Thursday that 120 to 140 flights a day are coming into the single-runway Port-au-Prince airport, compared with 25 per day just after the quake struck last week. More than 840 have landed since the airport was reopened, but there is amillion bottles of water have been delivered, along with 22,000 pounds of medical supplies.

About 13,100 U.S. troops are in and around Haiti, nearly 2,700 on the ground and another 10,400 off shore. Many Marines spend time in Haiti during the day but sleep on ships at night. More U.S. troops are scheduled to arrive by this weekend, bringing the total to about 4,600 troops on the ground.

At least 72,000 people -- including dozens of U.N. staff members -- have been confirmed dead in the earthquake, according to the country's prime minister.

International aid contributions have totaled hundreds of millions of dollars, but relief agencies working in Haiti say transportation bottlenecks and poor communications have slowed the delivery of food, water and medicine to survivors.

On Wednesday, U.S. Agency for International

They must further explicitly publicize what is throttled and what is blocked, with the information posted on an easily accessible website hosted by the company or the FCC. The measures must still be approved by the Office of Management and Budget before they take effect — a process that can take several months, according to FCC officials.

The reversal is a hallmark victory for Pai, whose 11-month tenure has seen him strongly advocate for reduced regulation. He was named FCC chairman in January by President Donald Trump, who has made no secret of his interest in reining in Obama-era business regulations.

Rapper Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London have decided to call it quits on their relationship, although the former couple have no any additional statements in regards to them breaking-up – the couple have been dating for the last few years and just recently welcomed the birth of a child into the world.

Nipsey did release a message via his twitter account explaining that he and his former fiancé had mutually come to the decision that they were no longer going to be involved in a relationship, but would work together as co-parents in the raising of the son, who was born earlier this year.

LOS ANGELES, July 19 (AScribe Newswire) -- It is the world's most commonly used illicit drug, and perhaps the most controversial of all substances. Marijuana has been at the center of debate for decades, with equal numbers calling for its legalization and ban.

In his new book, "Understanding Marijuana" (Oxford University Press, 2002) Mitch Earleywine, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Southern California, attempts to sort out myths and facts about the drug. After analyzing some 500 studies, Earleywine's ultimate conclusion is mixed - marijuana is neither completely harmless nor tragically toxic.

"The common human desire is to split the world into two categories," said Earleywine, an expert on substance abuse and personality "Decisions are easier when everything is black or white. Yet the world remainsD.J. Brigman

Loeb has one more event in his three-round WRC comeback programme with Citroen remaining this season - the mixed-surface Rally Spain at the end of October.

Asked why Loeb had been called up for Citroen's first day of testing on Hafren, a team spokesperson replied: "He hasn't driven the C3 WRC on gravel since Mexico, this made sense."

Loeb finished second on his last Rally GB appearance six years ago, and won the event three times from 2008-10.

He led in Mexico on his WRC return earlier this year before falling back to fifth with a puncture, then crashed early on his next outing in Corsica.

Regulars Craig Breen and Mads Ostberg will form its rally line-up for Wales.

All four WRC teams conducted significant tests in Wales ahead of this weekend's event.

hiring and promotion decisions, leaders often put too much emphasis on performance and not enough on the potential to learn. Over time, Egon Zehnder, a global executive search firm, had developed a sophisticated means of evaluating candidates that considered not only their past achievements but also their competencies. However, it found that in numerous instances, candidates who looked equally good on paper performed differently on the job. Why?

A partner at the firm, Karena Strella, and her team believed the answer was individuals’ potential for improvement. After a two-year project that drew on academic research and interviews, they identified four elements that make up potential: curiosity, insight, engagement, and determination. They developed interview questions to get at these elements, along with psychometric measures applied via questionnaires. This new modelCristal Cherry is a Porn Star from Spain.

A bill proposed by presidential hopeful Kamala Harris that would ban all members of congress from watching pornography while at work hit a surprising wall of opposition yesterday. The bill was expected to pass unanimously, but has turned into an inexplicable, one-man filibuster by Ted Cruz.

LSU began the new basketball season at Massachusetts on Tuesday. In fact, that
script was more or less file 13-worthy after 10 seconds when Jarell Martin's
much anticipated opening day ended with an ankle injury.

But the Tigers adjusted, played well in
a lot of spots and went to the final few minutes with a chance to win a road
game against a talented and veteran opponent. Bottom line: There were a lot
more positive building blocks than steps backward in a 92-90 loss.

1. How much of an impact did losing
Martin have on the Tigers?
A ton, at least at first, because the four other starters had worked with him
on the floor extensively. And because he is such a dynamic player, there were
offensive sets built around him and methods


of attacking a defense predicated
on him being able to force the defense into uncomfortable situations. Once he
went out and Shavon Coleman entered, there was an adjustment period as a
somewhat unfamiliar combination of players got acclimated to how to play
together. Offensive spacing was off and there was some uncertainty as players
hunted for shots without Martin as an outlet - the Tigers missed 10 of their
first 11 floor shots. To exacerbate matters, Coleman and then Malik Morgan both
got into foul trouble. Fortunately for LSU, sophomore Shane Hammink delivered a
solid first-half performance to help the Tigers manage the first 20 minutes.

2. Which backcourt combo seemed to click
best?
LSU coach Johnny Jones continues to sing the praises of freshman point guard
Tim Quarterman, who wound up with 5 points and 3 points in 18his
80-game career. He connected on 3 or more 11 times last season.

Hickey matched his career-high with 7 assists, the fifth time in his
career with as many helpers in a game. He also came up with 3 or more steals
for the 29th time.

LSU recorded 19 assists on 34 made shots against UMass. Last season the
Tigers had only three games with at least that many assists.

Sega opened a new teaser site heralding the celebration fol the 60th anniversary of its foundation in 1960, which will happen this year.

An interesting element is the silhouette of a man with a rather familiar hairstyle and a judogi.

The URL of the website includes the word “Segashiro” and its description translates as “Sega 60tgh anniversary ambassador silhouette pre-reveal! Reveal on March 25.”

By sharing the site on social media the default message is “who is this silhouette?”

Looks like the character teased by the website is Segata Sanshiro, originally played by legendary actor Hiroshi Fujioka in a series of ads aired between 1997 and 1998 to advertise theMr. Astorino, 47, shares several of Ms. Teachout’s disadvantages, including a vast gap in campaign fund-raising and lesser name recognition around the state. Yet he has none of her advantages, such as appealing to women, and he faces the huge disadvantage in party registration.

Indeed, polls have shown Mr. Cuomo with a wide lead over Mr. Astorino, whom the governor’s campaign plans to attack as an “ultraconservative” over his opposition to abortion rights, strict gun control laws and same-sex marriage.

In keeping with his approach of scarcely acknowledging the primary, Mr. Cuomo skipped the tradition of holding a party on election night. His only public appearance on


was five-and-twenty. I was his steward, as Melville ought to be
mine, and leave me free. As it is, I have to pay Watson, and look into
everything myself, when I have a son of three-and-twenty, who ought to
do all this for me. I suppose it can't be helped," the squire said,
stretching out his legs, and taking up the gun which had been resting
against the bench, "and as far as I can see the younger boys will be
very little, if any, better than Melville."

"Oh! yes, father. Ralph will do anything you wish, I know; and Hal and
Bunny are very good at school. Remember what the master said of them at
Christmas."

"Yes, yes; they are good little fellows. Then there is poor Piers; he
must always be an anxiety, poor boy!"

"I don't thinkah! I heard there was some bad case brought in from Mendip. The
good lady at Barley Wood will have to learn that much prating about
religion ain't what we want. It's like the crackling of thorns under the
pot. Let us see you at the Deanery before long; make my compliments to
your good father and Mrs. Falconer." And then the Dean ambled away, his
thin, black-stockinged legs beneath the decanal coat and apron giving
him the appearance of a black stork.

Joyce now hastened towards the Vicar's Close, where her aunt, her
father's only sister, lived.

The Vicar's Close at Wells is a sight to delight the heart of the
antiquary and the lover of ancient buildings and olden times.

It is entered from the north end of the cathedral by a wide, low
gateway, and on either


down so wonderfully."

"But Melville is twenty-three, nearly twenty-four, Aunt Lettice. Father
has given him every advantage, and all he wished for, and now he says he
cannot possibly live a country gentleman's life."

"Oxford was a poor preparation for that life, I must own," said Miss
Falconer; "only it was natural perhaps, that your father should yield
to your mother's wishes."

"Mother suffers the most," said Joyce hotly, "far, far the most. It
makes me so angry when I think of the way mother is treated."

"My dear child, she has spoiled Melville, and this is the result."

"It would not be the result if Melville had an atom of gentleman-like
feeling. Looking down on mother, who----" Joyce's voice faltered.

"It was unfortunate that your father married below him in the social
scale; he was caught in the rebound, asaunt's letter had decided her to
lose no time in paying a visit to Fair Acres.

As Joyce came up to the steps of the carriage Mrs. More held out her
hand--a white, delicately-formed hand, half covered by a lace mitten.

Joyce had heard Mrs. More spoken of as an old lady of near eighty, and
her surprise was written on her lovely face, as she said, simply:

"Are you Mrs. More?"

For the beautiful dark eyes were still lustrous, and the lips, parted
with a smile, displayed a row of even teeth which many a young woman in
these days might envy. A quantity of white hair was turned back from a
round, full forehead, which was shadowed by a drawn-silk riding-hood,
with a deep curtain and a wide bow under the chin. Intellect and
benevolence shone on the

out.

The twins, Harry and Bunny, came to him about fly-fishing, and Ralph
consulted him as to a difficult passage in his Homer; while he spent a
whole morning in helping Piers to re-arrange his moths and butterflies,
and to look out their names with greater precision in a book he had
actually borrowed from the Palace at Wells, for this purpose.

All the time Joyce went about her accustomed duties: darned Melville's
socks, mended the schoolboys' clothes, and was every morning assisting
her mother in her household duties.

It was an added charm in Gilbert's eyes that Joyce made no difference in
her daily routine, and that what are familiarly called "company manners"
were apparently unknown at Fair Acres.

But the last day came of Gilbert Arundel's visit, as the last must come
to everything, and the squire proclaimedis my joy
and comfort. I half grudge letting her go to Barley Wood, even for a
short visit."

"You ought to be glad that she has had such an invitation; and, really,
you have to thank me for it, Arthur. I take such a deep interest in
Joyce. I have often tried to put before you what she needs, and now I
have great hope that Mrs. More may suggest some plan for her."

The squire began to feel very impatient; his sister's interest in his
children was undoubted, but he did not want to have it perpetually
brought before him. Miss Falconer had an unfortunate habit of sounding
her own excellencies, especially with regard to her nieces and nephews.
Then there were often little side hits at his wife; and it is always
hard for a man like


how, in spite of a
little flaw here and there, the result is satisfactory.

Joyce was watching for her father at the door of Mr. Scott's farm, and
came running down the garden between the lavender bushes and high
shrub-fuschias, which were glowing scarlet in the sunshine.

The squire waved his hand to the farmer's wife, who, crippled with
rheumatism, could not leave her seat in the porch to come towards him. A
farmboy lifted Joyce's box to the back seat, where she soon mounted
with a quick, alert spring, and then, with a shilling handed to the boy,
the squire drove off.

Joyce's heart sank a little when they turned in at the gates of Barley
Wood.

"Are you coming in with us, father?"

"No, no, my dear; I must get back as fast as I can. It is awas the
mother of four children, to whom she was devoted.

Piers was seated at his table, and she was standing over him, with one
hand upon his shoulder, while, with the other, she now and then stroked
back his hair, as in old days.

It is strange to think how the quiet, happy life of home, and home
interests may go on, while the storm of political strife, and religious
controversy rages without. It was thus with Sir Thomas Browne, the
philosopher and physician, of Norwich, who produced his great work, the
"Religio Medici," when England stood on the eve of the greatest storm,
which ever burst over her. It was thus with many less distinguished and
simple souls, who went about their accustomed duties and pleasures, and
took up their daily burden of cares and toil, and gave

Melville found to his cost. So take care, Charlotte."

"Take care, indeed! I don't know what you mean," said Charlotte,
pouting. "You always think no one can possibly admire _me_."

"My dear Charlotte, this is not a time for such nonsense, it is time to
commend ourselves and all we love to God's care, and not to be filled
with thoughts of who admires us and who does not. Lord Maythorne is
Gilbert's uncle; but he has caused a great deal of sorrow in the family,
and we were all very sorry when he came to live in England again. Mrs.
Arundel cannot be uncivil to him, but she has not the slightest respect
for him; neither have I."

"Well, dear," said Charlotte, "now you have finished your lecture, I
will go downstairs. I supposeget ready."

"I hope she won't make a scene," Piers said, "I hate scenes, and I don't
see what good you will do, but here goes;" and Piers took his hat and
went to do his sister's bidding.

Taking a circuitous route by Granby Hill, where two little urchins were
waiting to scotch the wheels, the lumbering coach, of much larger

This is the story of how a Canadian stag party gift turned into a sleeper hit on Broadway.

In 1997, real-life couple Bob Martin and Janet Van De Graaff were about to get married. As a gift, some of their friends decided to create a spoof of old Broadway musicals for the couple's stag party. It was a hit. Martin and


Don McKellar, one of the original writers, were inspired to clean up some of the raunchiness, and turn it into a full-fledged musical production. 'The Drowsy Chaperone ' debuted on Broadway in 2006 and won five Tony Awards. It will open at the Fine Arts Center on Thursday.

+ captionScott RC Levy stars as Man in Chair in the Fine Arts Center's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone."

'The Drowsy Chaperone ' is a show within a show. When McKellar and Martin rewrote it for the stage, they kept the couple getting married - names and all - and added a narrator named Man in Chair who provides a running commentary for the audience. Martin played the role on Broadway.

The entire musical comedy takes place in the Man's apartment. He's feelinga little blue, he tells the audience, and when that happens, he likes to play his records. In this case, he chooses an old 1928 record of 'The Drowsy Chaperone, ' one of his favorites. As the music begins, his apartment comes alive. Characters come singing and dancing out of the woodwork, oblivious to the Man who joyfully knows their every move and song by heart.

In his 2006 review, New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley wrote: 'And now here is a musical that frankly sets itself up as a short (1 hour, 40 minutes), happy exercise in escapism, adorned with just enough postmodern footnotes to make you feel all insiderly. It's sort of like being able to eat your cake and diet too. '

Scott RC Levy, director


of performing arts and producing artistic director at the Fine Arts Center, will star as Man in Chair. It's the actor-director's first role since he moved to the Springs in mid-2011.

'This role is difficult in that I don't really interact with the rest of the company, ' Levy said. 'I'm talking to the audience about the show and about the actors inside the show. The actors can't see me. There are long monologues and a lot of lines and nobody to play against except the audience. '

But Levy clearly relishes the role. During a Friday night rehearsal of the number, 'Bride's Lament, ' he earned laughs from his castmates as he sang and mimed along with Van De Graaff, played by local actress Becca Vourvoulas.
