Obie-won memory
I was fascinated and very moved by Jerry Tallmer's story about the inception of the Obie awards ["Watering the Off-Broadway Garden," May 11-17]. I actually received one of those first Obies for my performance in Genet's Deathwatch (1958).That year the awards were held at the Village Gate and presented by Anne Bancroft, who was starring in Two for the Seesaw at the time. I remember every theater, every play, and every actor Tallmer referred to (including the great Julie Bovasso) and went on to work with many of them, including Jason Robards and Edward Albee (for whom I created the Orderly in The Death of Bessie Smith). What great theater! What great actors! Thanks for the memories.

Aina Hunter's "School for Johns" [May 11-17] is full of ignorant anti-sex bias, which does not belong in an enlightened journal like The Village Voice. I am the owner of a Bangkok massage parlor for men by men and am also a board-certified physician. I can assure you that there is nothing inherently dangerous about commercial sex and would also like to remind you that not all sex workers are women and not all clients are men. We have a small number of loyal and happy female clients. It is completely wrong that all sex workers are emotional cripples or do this work because they are incapable of doing anything else. Many of my masseurs go to college or have graduated from college. Some are married or in stable relationships. Some are good fathers and most have close and healthy relationships with families and friends. There is also a good support system in the shop. My masseurs are expert at massage and also like making the massage sensual or sexual. Most of them really enjoy what they do and take pride and pleasure in making another person so happy.
I educate my masseurs about safe sex and provide them with all the condoms they need. You must be 18 to work in my shop and all but two of my 30 masseurs are 20 or over. The customers are told that they will pay a minimum tip directly to the masseur. I encourage the clients to be generous and give more. I also remind my clients that the masseurs are not obligated to do anything they do not want to do. I emphatically support my masseurs if there are any disputes on this matter. Also, the minimum tip is approximately double what I receive directly from the client for use of the room, oil, towels, etc. I do not take money back from the masseur. I am not a pimp and the masseur is not a slave. He is not under contract with me and can leave at any time. One time a client refused to pay for the work he had done. I quickly intervened and he still refused. We called the police, who arrived immediately and told the client to pay or go to jail. The masseur got his money and did not have to give any of it to the police or to me. My typical client is a well-to-do, well-dressed man in his forties. In any event, my shop is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. We treat our clients with kindness and respect, which is usually reciprocated.
The greatest burden our masseurs bear is the negative stereotyping and the associated negative societal stigmatization of this work. These businesses can be legalized, regulated (for health and safety), and taxed. Pimps can be eliminated. Sex workers can have clean and safe working conditions. Brothels can be made clean and safe for clients and workers. Sex workers can be taught about safe sex and provided with the tools to engage in it. Brothel owners can support their workers against abusive clients, especially if they have police to back them up. This is not utopian dreaming. It is already happening or has happened all over the EU and even in Brazil. You must realize how damaging it is to refer to us all as perverts, pimps, pedophiles, criminals, and emotional cripples, as this only reinforces negative stereotypes and avoids the real issue, which is that criminalization created most of the problems associated with commercial sex and decriminalization can solve most of the problems associated with commercial sex.

Aina Hunter replies: The former prostitutes I quoted are entitled to their views, as unenlightened as they may seem to you. Your massage parlor sounds like a wonderful place; it would be great if all sex workers had managers as thoughtful and generous as yourself.
Josephs's john story
While researching a story on prostitution in Williamsburg two years ago, I accidentally interviewed an undercover cop, who accused me of propositioning her. She must have had a quota to fill, because despite my press credentials and tape recorder I was sent to jail, where I stayed for two days. My literary agent convinced me to attend John School instead of fighting the charges, saying it would make a great story. I pitched it to the Voice but no one responded. Thanks a lot!

Fargo your hating
I was very irritated by Greg Tate's review "Signifying Nada" [May 11- 17]. I happen to love Will Smith (I also have and enjoy Lost and Found). Will is an imitation of everything that is good in the hip-hop industry? What is wrong with doing what you love? Will said he loves rapping; who is Tate to dis him for that? Tate should get a life and stop hating.

Mean girl
As a regular reader of the Voice since I arrived in New York three years ago, I felt I had to do something about your atrocious new column by Natalie Krinsky. As a 21-year-old female, I'm particularly disgusted that she was the one chosen to write about the life of a young, female, single New Yorker. She's unoriginal, mean, and a poor writer. Her "jokes" consist of completely lame pop-culture references. She just wrote an entry (May 4) whose message can be summed up by "Ugly people are also bad people." I don't understand why the Voice decided to take the most recent vapid chick-lit bullshit publishing sensation and give her room to write. I like to think the Voice is more progressive than that. Krinsky's a mean-spirited, unintelligent, trying-to-be-cute-but-really- just-stupid pain-in-the-ass bitch. And don't even get me started on the girl's sexual politics. Let's keep up the high standard of cool columnists like Tristan Taormino and Dan Savage. Out with Natalie!

Latour on kids' futures
Re Aina Hunter's "Juvenile Injustices" [May 4-10]: I'm going through this with my daughter right now and Jessica Latour is the prosecutor. I'm appalled at the family court system and especially Latour's arrogant behavior, abrasiveness, and cocky attitude. She acts like this is the case of the century! My God. She is trying to destroy these kids' futures.

Re "Saved?" by Tricia Romano [Fly Life, May 11-17]: CBGB hasn't done anything for rock since the hardcore movement of the '80s. It has become an icon of itself for tourists and T-shirt seekers. It hasn't broken a new band in 30 years, and owner Hilly Kristal seems content living in its past and not cultivating a future. If it closes, I doubt it will be missed. Most people who have a fondness for the club are long gone or married with kidsor grandkids. Today's generation could care less. I see it as a high-rise condo in five years. Sad to say, but true.

Dud duh
I'm baffled that Robert Christgau would rate the Walkmen's Bows and Arrows a dud in his Consumer Guide [May 11-17]. While I appreciate that he is likely required to plow through questionable offerings in numbers beyond my comprehension and may not have the luxury of repeated listens, I implore him to listen again. Bows and Arrows is a deceptively simple record that reveals itself over time. It is a stunning accomplishment and one of the most passionate breakup records in recent years. Of course he may just have a thing against breakup records, in which case he is entirely without hope.
J.A. Perez
Robert Christgau replies: I gave it multiple listens, as I do almost every dud.

Joining Nicole for Crafting On, the work in progress edition.
I found this quilt while tidying up the sewing area, and so the most logical thing to do was pull it out and work on it, rather than continuing to tidy.
This project is probably about 5 years old. I have been hand-quilting along the borders, and I was able to make some progress this week, I only have the Southeast states left.
While I was out running errands, The Youngest decided to get in on the party and decorated a few states in the Baker Man. I think the ink will come out, I found a couple of tips for getting stains out of cotton, I'll let you know if they work...About a month ago I saw an article about handmade Christmas presents on Poppytalk, and one was a DIY Ukulele kit.
I immediately decided that The Younger needed a uke. His big sister plays many instruments, and I thought he might like one of his own.
As it turned out, The Elder was really excited about the uke and The Younger was luke-warm.
The Elder and I have been building it, with design input from The Younger, and we're about halfway through.
What's on your creative to-do-list today?
Joining Nicole.

Ludacris ft. Young Jeezy - Raised in the South
Unable to Watch this Youtube Video? Click here to play in Soundcloud instead.
Through Ludacris has long been regarded as a dark horse contender for best rapper alive, the so-so quality of recent material has led some (including our own Nathan S.) to speculate the he may have—dare I say it—fallen off. But the A-Town vet is having none of it. On the latest single off his perhaps pointedly-titled pre-album mixtape, I Don't Give a F**k, he warns the opinionated that they'd best keep his name out their mouths. Why? 'Cause he was Raised in the motherf**king South. No, I have no idea how that follows either, but what this record lacks in logical argumentation, it makes up for in sheer intensity. Over Metro's slow-burning street boardwork, Luda makes clear that he means business, filleting his competition in forcefully-flowed verses. Complete with a gruff middle 16 by fellow Southern heavyweight Young Jeezy, this is just one of many bangers to be found on the aforementioned street album. Neither it nor forthcoming full-length Ludaversal but, as always, fans can keep it locked for all the latest.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Norfolk Southern reported a 10 percent improvement in first-quarter profit Tuesday as an increase in railroad shipping volume and a land sale helped offset continued weak coal demand.
The Norfolk, Va.,-based railroad said it generated $450 million net income, or $1.41 per share, on $2.74 billion revenue. That's up from $410 million, or $1.23 per share, a year ago.
The railroad beat Wall Street expectations, even without a one-time profit of $60 million on a sale of land in Michigan that added 19 cents per share to Norfolk Southern's earnings.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings of $1.17 per share on $2.78 billion in revenue.
The railroad's revenue was relatively flat compared to last year's $2.79 billion, but that could be considered a victory given the 17 percent decline in coal revenue.
Intermodal revenue improved by 9 percent and revenue from all other shipments improved 2 percent to nearly offset coal's decline.
It appears that coal demand may be stabilizing for Norfolk Southern after several years of decline. All the major railroads have been dealing with weak coal demand because of relatively cheap natural gas prices. A number of utilities switched from coal to gas for power generation.
"Coal continues to be the wild card in our business outlook, although we do see some signs of stability," CEO Wick Moorman said.
Edward Jones analyst Logan Purk said now that coal appears to have stabilized, the strength of the overall economy and Norfolk Southern's pricing power will determine how profitable it is.
"There's a built-in floor for coal demand that's needed to produce electricity," Purk said.
Major freight railroads like Norfolk Southern are considered gauges of the nation's economic health because the number of carloads they carry of a broad range of things, like chemicals, crops, lumber and containers of imported goods, reflect the health of those industries.
Union Pacific and CSX expressed optimism about the future last week. They were able to overcome weak coal demand in the first quarter with rate increases and by hauling more carloads of other things.
Norfolk Southern officials say their outlook is mostly positive, but they didn't provide specific profit targets.
"In general, we see an economy that will continue to grow, albeit at a slow pace," Moorman said.
Norfolk Southern operates about 20,000 miles of track in 22 states and the District of Columbia.
On Tuesday Norfolk Southern shares rose 78 cents to close at $75.84 amid a broad market rally.

NES developers eventually ran into problems with repeating graphics several times in a CNROM because parts of the graphics ROM could not be reused. Also, the size of NES games' maps and other program data was growing at an alarming rate; more elbow room was needed. Nintendo addressed both of these concerns by introducing the 128 kilobyte UNROM board.
Five chips make up UNROM (iNES board class 2). They are:
UNROM let game maps get big. It also allowed for RLE compression of graphics data, as graphics no longer had to be stored in the raw form needed by the PPU.
Examples of UNROM games: Pro Wrestling, Ikari, the original Contra, and Who's Cuter? (http://pineight.8m.com/nes.htm). Other games that can be run on an UNROM board include games written for the Codemasters mapper.
UNROM is also used as an umbrella term for other cartridges that use graphics RAM, such as some MMC1 and MMC3 titles. This may be related somehow to the word uncola.

Region | Appalachian Basin |
Country | Canada United States |
Type section | |
Named for | Utica, New York |
Named by | Ebenezer Emmons, 1842 |
The Utica Shale is a stratigraphical unit of Middle Ordovician age in the Appalachian Basin. It underlies much of the northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada.
It takes the name from the city of Utica, New York, as it was first described as an outcrop along the Starch Factory Creek east of the city by Ebenezer Emmons in 1842.[2]
The Utica Shale is composed of calcareous, organic, and rich shale.[3]
Oil and gas[edit]
The Utica shale is a major source of tight gas in Quebec, and is rapidly becoming so in Ohio.
Drilling and producing from the Utica Shale began in 2006 in Quebec, focusing on an area south of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City. Interest has grown in the region since Denver-based Forest Oil Corp. announced a significant discovery there after testing two vertical wells. Forest Oil said its Quebec assets may hold as much as four trillion cubic feet of gas reserves, and that the Utica shale has similar rock properties to the Barnett shale in Texas.
Forest Oil, which has several junior partners in the region, has drilled both vertical and horizontal wells. Calgary-based Talisman Energy has drilled five vertical Utica wells, and began drilling two horizontal Utica wells in late 2009 with its partner Questerre Energy, which holds under lease more than 1 million gross acres of land in the region. Other companies in the play are Quebec-based Gastem and Calgary-based Canbriam Energy.
The Utica Shale in Quebec potentially holds 4×10 12 cu ft (110×10 9 m3) at production rates of 1×10 6 cu ft (28,000 m3) per day[4][5] From 2006 through 2009 24 wells, both vertical and horizontal, were drilled to test the Utica. Positive gas flow test results were reported, although none of the wells were producing at the end of 2009.[6] Gastem, one of the Utica shale producers, took its Utica Shale expertise to drill across the border in New York state.[7]
The Province of Quebec imposed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in March 2012.[8]
Utica Shale drilling and production began in Ohio in 2011. Ohio as of 2013 is becoming a major natural gas and oil producer from the Utica Shale in the eastern part of the state.[9][10] Map of Ohio Utica Shale drilling permits and activity by date.[11][12] In 2011 drilling and permits for drilling in the Utica Shale in Ohio have reached record highs [13] Although the prospective Utica area extends into Pennsylvania and West Virginia, as of 2013, most activity has been in Ohio, because the Ohio portion is believed to be richer in oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids.
New York[edit]
In 2009, the Canadian company Gastem, which had been drilling gas wells into the Utica Shale in Quebec, drilled the first of its three state-permitted Utica Shale wells in New York. The first well drilled was in Otsego County.[14]
New York imposed a moratorium on large-volume hydraulic fracturing in 2008. The governor, who has the power to lift the moratorium, has said that he will make a decision before the 2014 election.[15]
Resource size[edit]
The US Energy Information Administration estimated in 2012 that the Utica Shale in the US held 15.7 trillion cubic feet of unproved, technically recoverable gas. The average well was estimated to produce 1.13 billion cubic feet of gas.[16] The same year, the US Geological survey estimated that the Utica Shale had 38.2 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered technically recoverable gas, 940 million barrels of oil, and 208 million barrels of natural gas liquids.[17]
The Utica Shale lies under most of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia and extends under adjacent parts of Ontario and Quebec in Canada and Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia in the United States.
It occurs in outcrops in the state of New York[1] and in the subsurface in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.[3] Parts of the island of Montreal consist of Utica shale, which affected construction of parts of the Montreal metro. In some regions of Pennsylvania, the Utica Shale reaches to almost two miles below water level. However, the depth of the Utica Shale rock decreases to the west into Ohio and to the northwest towards Canada. [18]
It reaches a thickness of up to 1,000 feet (300 m)[1] and can be as thin as 70 feet (20 m) towards the margins of the basin. 250 feet (80 m) are exposed in the type section.
Relationship to other units[edit]
The Utica Shale underlies the Lorraine Group and overlies the Trenton Group limestone and the Canajoharie shale in Mohawk River Valley.
The Utica Shale is divided into the Nowadaga Zone, Loyal Creek Zone and Holland Patent Zone.[1]
It lies a few thousand feet under the Marcellus Shale.

| Boxee updates iPad app to version 1.2, adds global Spotify support It's only been a couple of months since Boxee unleashed its much anticipated iPad app, but the company has already come out with that much needed update to version 1.2. With the upgrade, users will be able to navigate across content sent to their Boxee Boxes using a remote control interface that's now located at the bottom right corner of the app. iPad owners can also pause video sent to their Box and pick up later where they left off, using the Boxee Media Manager. And, as expected, AirPlay sessions can now run in the background, giving you one less thing to worry about while lazing on the couch. On a related note, Spotify users can now use Boxee to access their accounts from anywhere in the world (previously, access was only granted in countries where Spotify is available). To get your app up to speed, check out the coverage link, below. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/27/b...spotify-suppo/ |

Facts and Events
Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (Gotha, 15 July 1646 – Friedrichswerth, 2 August 1691), was a duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He was the fourth but eldest surviving son of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Altenburg and Elisabeth Sophie of Saxe-Altenburg. When Ernst inherited the duchy of Saxe-Altenburg (1672), he made Frederick the regent of that duchy. In 1674 Ernst, who was already ill, made Frederick the regent of his entire lands. After the death of his father (1675) Frederick assumed the throne of both duchies. However, on the basis of his family's house law, he had to allow his six younger brothers to take part in the government. At first, they agreed to a common household of all seven brothers in the Schloss Friedenstein, though this arrangement endured only until 1676. Afterwards, negotiations began for the division of the paternal inheritance. This was finally accomplished on 24 February 1680; Frederick kept Gotha, Tenneberg, Wachsenburg, Ichtershausen, Georgenthal, Schwarzwald, Reinhardsbrunn, Volkenrode, Oberkranichfeld, Orlamünde, Altenburg and Tonna. These towns virtually formed the old duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. They consisted of three large and coherent areas around Gotha, Kahla and Altenburg, as well as six smaller enclaves. Frederick continued the work of his father. In order to prevent future disputes between his descendants, he established primogeniture for his house in 1685 (with Imperial assent granted in 1688). Around 1680 he established himself in the Lustschloss Friedrichswerth, near the village of Erffa, approximately 20 km of Gotha, which was renamed in his honour Friedrichswerth. In 1683 Frederick created the (still in existence today) Theatre of Gotha (Gothaer Schloßtheater). He was also an eager diary writer; these diaries became one of the most important sources of his time. Frederick took part in the Great Turkish War against the Turks, and in the War of the Grand Alliance against France. He ruined the finances of his small duchy, however, using them to maintain a standing army, which by the time of his death counted over 10,000 men.

Ok, so Mr. Maytag came out today and replaced the 30 plus year old hose in my washer and got it working just great. So, I did a load of wash--finally. And guess what? Water all over the floor. Not from the machine this time but from the drain pipe. This has been happening on and off for awhile but nothing big. So, we go downstairs and there is water all over the basement floor. The water had backed up in the basement sink and poured all over the basement. Ugh!! So, we call a plumber. Well, thank goodness, Mr. Plumber is a lot less busy that the Maytag Man and came right out!! Maybe Mr. Maytag needs to do a new commercial. Apparently he is a lot busier than he advertises. Or maybe all those 30 and 40 year old machines are going bad now and he is a lot busier fixing them. Anyway, back to the flooded basement and Mr. Plumber. He looked around and knew immediately the problem. Our house is 106 years old. Some of the pipes have been replaced but apparently one section hadn't and still had the 106 year old pipes. Apparently they were mighty clogged. So, Mr. Plumber kindly replaced the 106 year old pipe and hopefully that will do the trick. I'll believe it when I see it--or don't see it (water that is). I swear this house knows we are trying to get rid of it and is rebelling!!
By the way, I did talk to Mr. ReMax Man yesterday and we will sign the contract when we get back from Ireland. Oh, did I mention I'm leaving for Ireland on Monday for 12 days. Can't wait!! 12 days of not having to think about cleaning, selling, floods etc. Nothing but good Irish food, scenery, entertainment, and yes--adult beverages!!!

LOL! I'm glad Mr. Plummer was able to come right away! That's not always so! I think you're right about the house! At 106 years old, I think I'd rebel against new people movin' in on me too!
Your Re/Max guy sounds like he'll do a good job for ya! Have fun in Ireland (oh, how I wish I was going!) and worry about it all when you get back! - June 4, 2009 at 9:07 PM

Have a wonderful time in Ireland!! You deserve it! The house can wait... and if you're not there to talk about it, it can't rebel!

The recent slump in Tesco's performance is set to hurt more than 50,000 workers who signed up to a share-saving scheme. They are expected to pocket far less than previously hoped after a dire Christmas trading performance and profits warning saw nearly £5 billion wiped off the supermarket giant's share price in a single day.
If shares had stayed at the levels seen before last week's slump, the 54,000 staff would have been set to make gains of up to £762. Tesco has now told staff that have already opted to take their payment in shares that they can change their minds and accept a £275 cash bonus also available under the scheme.
Under the scheme, the UK's biggest private-sector employer allows staff to save up to £50 a month for three or five years and then buy shares at a pre-agreed price.

Three Muses Challenge - LOVE
I heard an old song this week - Joni Mitchell's "From both sides now". I love her lyrics and it seems she looked at love from both sides but she really doesn't know love at all. I was inspired to create two pictures to depict both sides and I hope I am forgiven for posting both of them.
Go HERE for credits.
Create an art journal page showing us what love means to you (not necessarily the Valentine's Day ideal). For those who don't know what an art journal page is, it is simply a page with artwork and some text or even a single word. In other words, it is freestyle and the way you approach the theme is up to you. Have fun!

You can help transform lives at RIC by making a donation today!
Published on July 03, 2015
Source: PEOPLE
An 8-year-old boy battling cerebral palsy just got a big boost from a music superstar.
Gloria Estefan is paying for specialized treatment to help Nicholas "Nico" Katrib of Miami – and on Monday she met the boy whose life she is changing forever.
"It was so emotional," Estefan, 57, tells PEOPLE after meeting Nico and his family. "He was adorable. He gave me kisses and knew my name."
Born at just one pound, Nico's mom, Yordanka Fernandez, 38, and her husband, Kyril Katrib, 37, were told Nico would be in a severely compromised state for life. Despite the grim prognosis and limited family income, they pushed forward with multiple rehabilitation treatments for Nico.
He made miraculous progress, but when Fernandez heard about a specific treatment that she knew could change his life for the better, she found out it was only offered at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
But even the $36,000 price tag didn't stop the family from getting him there.
Fernandez convinced the Miami Herald to do a story about her son, which included a GoFundMe link asking the public to help raise money to get him to the institute, which was reportedly not covered by Medicaid.
It was then that Estefan got a Twitter comment from a fan asking her to check out the article.
"I clicked the link and I saw that Nico's mom had been doing everything in her power to get him to the institute," says Estefan. "I knew there was a deadline because she was trying to get him into a summer program."
Estefan ultimately decided to fund his entire stay at RIC.
"I told her to keep the money that had been raised on GoFundMe to help with her other important expenses," she says.
When Fernandez heard the news, she couldn't believe it.
"I thought someone was playing a joke on me," she tells PEOPLE. "But then when I was able to talk to Gloria, I was just in a state of shock. I couldn't laugh, shout or cry."
Gloria Estefan Funds Hospital Stay for 8-Year-Old Boy with Cerebral Palsy: 'I Felt a Very Strong Connection'| Sickness & Injury, Medical Conditions, Doctor/Medical/Hospital, Good Deeds, Real People Stories, Gloria EstefanCOURTESY OF THE REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO
The Cuban American musician knows what it's like to face a scary health crisis. Twenty-five years ago, Estefan herself was in a serious bus crash that almost left her paralyzed.
"I had a doctor that looked outside of the box and gave me hope," she says. "So when I saw this mother doing so much for her son, it really touched me and I wanted to help her."
At the institute, Nico and his family plan to give Estefan pictures of him throughout his stay, where his main goal is to improve his walking and hopefully progress from his walker to forearm crutches.
"He was born a fighter," says Fernandez. "What I love most about him is he is playful and a super happy child."
Although Nico has a long road ahead, his doctor tells PEOPLE that he is already improving his overall strength and stamina.
"He is here for a few months. We really have some very specific goals for him to achieve, which will definitely impact his ability for greater independence with his walking," Dr. Gadi Revivo tells PEOPLE.
This Little Guy Is More Superhero than 8-Year-Old Boy!
When Estefan left the family in Chicago on Monday, she said goodbye – but not for long.
"I can't wait to see how he continues to progress," she says. "Even when they go back to Miami, I intend to keep in touch and follow this family along."
And for Fernandez?
"Every day I ask for the well-being of my family and my child and now every day I will be asking for the same thing for Gloria and her family. May they always be happy and healthy," she says.
