Greetings, my name is Daniela Goya-Tocchetto. I grew up in Porto Alegre, which is the capital city of the southernmost state in Brazil. I'm currently an adjunct professor at the College of Charleston, in the departments of Philosophy and Economics. I have just recently (May, 2014) earned a PhD in political philosophy from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Before completing my graduate studies in philosophy at UFRGS, I first received a BS in Economics (UFRGS) and a MS in Economics (UFRGS). I also received a MS in Philosophy and Public Policy from the London School of Economics (LSE). Given my background and training, my research unsurprisingly focuses on the intersection of economics, philosophy, psychology, and public policy. I am especially interested in recent developments in fields such as social psychology, behavioral economics, experimental political philosophy, and bioethics.
These days, most of my research focuses on the relevance of empirical evidence concerning folk intuitions about justice, fairness, and equality to both traditional and contemporary theories of distributive justice. I am also currently working on issues of distributive justice in the provision of heath care. For instance, I am presently involved in the following three research projects:
- "Economic Justice and Juridical Justice: theoretical and institutional challenges," coordinated by Professor Alfredo Storck (UFRGS), and supported by the Brazilian Research National Council (CNPQ).
- "The Psychology of Free Will: beliefs about free will and the behavioral effects of altering those beliefs," coordinated by Silvia Koller (UFRGS).
Here are some sample publications in philosophy and economics: (*=portuguese)
- Sabino Pôrto Jr; TOCCHETTO, Daniela Goya; Tanara Sousa; Esmeralda Correa; Marianne Zwilling Stampe . The economic impact of traffic accidents related to the abuse of psychoactive substances. In: Flavio Pechansky; Paulina Vieira Duarte; Raquel De Boni. (Org.). The use of alcohol and other psychoactive substances on brazilian roads and other studies. Porto Alegre: National Council of Drugs Policy, 2010.
- TOCCHETTO, Daniela Goya. Searching for the Moral Boundaries of Nudge, Diversitates, v. 1, p. 14-39, 2011.

- RIBEIRO, Eduardo Pontual; COMIN, Flavio Vasconcelos; PÔRTO JÚNIOR, Sabino; TOCCHETTO, Daniela Goya. Pro-poor growth in Brazil – an exploratory analysis. In: José Raimundo Carvalho; Klaus Hermanns. (Org.). Políticas Públicas e Desenvolvimento Regional no Brasil. Fortaleza - Ceará: Fundação Konrad Adenauer, 2005.
Before moving to Charleston, South Carolina, I have worked as a Professor of Economics and Philosophy at several universities in Porto Alegre, Brazil--namely, La Salle University, Senac College, College of Marketing (ESPM), and UFRGS (see above for link). During this time, I have taught courses in both economics and philosophy ranging from Introductory Economics and Macroeconomics to Sustainable Development and Contemporary Political Philosophy. I feel blessed to have the chance to incorporate the interdisciplinary lessons I've learned into the class room.
If you'd like to see more about my research or teaching you can find my CV here. In the meantime, thanks for dropping by my homepage.

Gods and Gladiators
... of his works - the three paintings being simply in a chapel to the left of the alter, not on display anywhere too central. I can't say the paintings filled me with awe or wonder at the glory of God, but they do show the human aspects of the bible, which I imagine would have given the peasant followers at the time much pause for thought. I'm going to make a jump now from Caravaggio and churches to the Italian people and city culture. I'm glad I did put off writing ...

... the crowd members helped this man find his lost items. The Pope prefers to speaks Spanish/Italian publicly, and English is spoken by an interpreter. Again, reiterating the need for me to learn more languages.
Please keep me & my family in your prayers. God is sustaining me in my journey. As you may know, the Department of State recently issued a warning for US citizens abroad to avoid crowds based on recent attacks in Africa.

Day 31 - Rome
Some of us had a good sleep in this morning but we still managed to get to the Colosseum at an early time where the wait was minimal and the crowds started off small. Our longest wait was to get the audio guide. I really enjoyed the colosseum and I think Tony persevered the growing crowds for me. We then walked down to the ...
Vatican Museums
... telling people to be quiet, not to take photos, shhhhh, silenzio... Or, indeed, the tour guide (who should know better!) having a stand-up row with one of the officials slap-bang in the middle of the place. Cue bemused looks all round. Ah, and... the no photos thing. Has to be purely commercial, right? Photos are permitted elsewhere in the museum, with flash in most places, and in St. Peter's Basilica, which is equally (one would assume) holy. ...
The Flying Dutchman has landed
... wi-fi was effectively non-existent (you were given two half-hour sessions for free), none of the ATMs were functional, leaving TravelEx the only viable currency exchange (with a 3%25 fee), and after our advantageous early arrival, our departure for Rome was inevitably delayed. With the all-encompassing need for sleep looming over us, and a lack of Euros with which to purchase food, tensions were mounting while we waited for the plane ...

Once home to a plethora of all types of immigrants, East Harlem actually used to have so many immigrants from Italy that one area was called Italian Harlem.
Now, East Harlem is home to the biggest concentrated Latino demographic in New York City, largely due to the influx of Puerto Rican immigrants post WWII. It's no wonder that the alternate names for East Harlem are Spanish Harlem and El Barrio.learn more about this neighborhood

The Treasury is thinking of selling part of its 82 per cent stake in Royal Bank of Scotland to Abu Dhabi investors.
It does not want to sell it back to British investors because the price at which it would have to do so would leave taxpayers with a loss. It bought its interest at 50p a share, paying £45 billion for it. Since the current price is just under 30p, that leaves it with a book loss of close to £20 billion.
But there is something much bigger here than taxpayers getting their bailout money back. It also highlights the way in which we have been content to sell our assets to foreign investors — and hence to become the most open society for inward investment on earth.
On the face of it, selling to a foreign sovereign wealth fund such as Abu Dhabi's seems fine. True, there is still the loss on the stake but it would show there is an interest outside Britain for what is becoming a decent quality bank. It would bring in cash now, always welcome, and since the sale will be for perhaps 15 per cent of the bank, there would still be another and much larger chunk to be sold at some later date.
Indeed, the deal might well enable the rest of the bank to be sold eventually at a higher price than would otherwise be the case. The paper loss is not quite as bad as it seems because taxpayers have made an additional income from guaranteeing part of the RBS debt portfolio and because the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth funds have a good record for picking sound investments. Certainly the rumour that they might be buying pushed up the share price by 4p, which is a start. In the narrow circumstances of British politics and finance, the deal sort of makes sense.
But if you stand back, it is extraordinary what we now regard as normal. It is normal to accept that the government of a small Middle East country with a population of 1.6 million has more resources than our own government. Sure, Abu Dhabi has oil but so do we: indeed a decade ago we pumped more than they did, so what have we done with the money?
It is accepted as normal that if we want to build a new airport in the Thames estuary, there will be sovereign wealth funds that will stump up to help pay for it. It is accepted as normal that if we want to build nuclear power plants, we go to the French to do it for us.
And for all the debate about rebuilding Britain's manufacturing base, do you know which our largest manufacturing company is, measured by employment? The answer is the Tata group of India.
We have become a land where everything is for sale — but as a German industrialist who has lived here for many years said to me last week: "The trouble is, you haven't got much left to sell."
That is too cruel. Actually this latest twist of the RBS saga neatly illustrates two different aspects of Britain's place in this ever-more-globalised world, one positive, the other less so.
First, the whole of the developed world, but especially Britain, carries a huge load of debt — not just government debt but also personal debt. The emerging world has relatively little debt at any level. So the room for manoeuvre that we have at both a government and often personal level is tight. A wave of austerity is sweeping across Europe and we are part of it. China, by contrast, is scooping up national resources all around the world, signing the cheques to pay for the infrastructure needed to ship them out.
So Abu Dhabi, whose sovereign wealth funds have under their control funds of a similar order of magnitude as our national debt, can take a risk on buying a chunk of RBS in a way that British pension funds simply can't. If you are cash-rich you can be brave; if you are scratching around, you are better to play safe.
Sometimes being open for investment has worked greatly to our benefit, such as in the case of Tata's stewardship of Jaguar Land-Rover. Sometimes the results have been less encouraging: Kraft and Cadbury are an obvious recent example.
We have become a test case for the benefits of inward investment and we will have to live with that and hope we are net gainers as a result. We have to hope that foreign ownership gives us better access to markets and that when they want to shut a factory they don't shut one here because we will kick up less of a stink than their employees back home.
There is, however, another way of seeing this role, which is to look at the balance of payments. Yesterday some new numbers showed that at the end of last year the country had net liabilities of just over £200 billion; in other words, the value of foreign investments in Britain is £200 billion more than the value of our investments abroad. But in the last three months of the year we had a surplus on our investment income of £4.6 billion, bringing the total for the year to more than £20 billion. That covers two-thirds of our trade deficit.
So we have sold all these firms to foreigners, yet we manage to earn enough on our own investments abroad to show a massive profit. Despite all these constraints on us, we are not bad investors at all; in fact the evidence is we are very good ones.
We have a right to feel uneasy about our willingness to sell the family silver. But maybe that chunk of RBS isn't family silver and if we sell it to Abu Dhabi, we'll know what we are doing after all.

Additional info:
At the turn of the twenty-first century, the New York City music scene floated in a surfaceless orbit of samplers, shoegazers, and delay pedals. The city's guitars lay choked by a digital fog, or else they lay dustily forgotten. Then, in 2002, an unbridled five-song EP by an unknown band brought noise, sex, passion, and mayhem back to the stage and to the stereo. The band's name evoked the kid who knows that whoever's in charge is full of s**t -- "yeah, yeah, yeah" -- but it also rang with the affirmation of pure rock and roll: F**k yeah! The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' first full-length album, Fever to Tell, was simultaneously filthy, infectious, sloppy, and brilliant. You could dance to it, and you could probably die to it. "Maps" was nominated for a Grammy, and the record went gold in the UK. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs spawned a new breed of power trio. They work together as a single organism, but each member maintains their own personality and contributes their own strengths. Think of them as a three-piece Earth, Wind, and Fire. On second thought, it's probably better if you didn't do that. Brian Chase's drumming couldn't be tighter or more precise, even as the band descends into the pitch-dark caves of noise he frequents in his free-jazz spare time--and one can hear rigor and experiment behind even his simplest, no-frills (or -fills) rhythms. Nick Zinner's guitar pushes back--hard--against Chase's formalism, grounding the group in rock and roll at its ballsiest, dirtiest, and most shredly. His soaring, sometimes grinding lines are wires connecting Chase's drums to the psychologically kaleidoscopic vocals of Karen O, who, as the New Yorker has noted, would have been a success "had she appeared with nothing more than a microphone and a pair of maracas." The band developed an itchy and unshakeable aversion to repeating itself. It would have been easy enough to record another spastic, live-sounding garage album after the success of Fever, but their next full-length, 2007's Show Your Bones, added acoustic guitar and more serious compositions that picked up on the direction suggested by a song like "Maps." Rolling Stone called the record a "textural triumph," and the group honed their legendary stage performance -- one cannot understand the Yeah Yeah Yeahs without seeing Karen O writhing and thriving onstage. A handful of great songs that didn't make it onto Bones became tour staples (and fan favorites), and the band sat down with the celebrated PiL/Slits/Gang of Four producer Nick Launay to record 2007's EP Is Is. Last year, the Yeahs shook their Etch A Sketch® clean to start work on a new record with producers Dave Sitek and Nick Launay. "We usually go into these things totally blind," Karen O said. "We have no idea what's going to happen when we sit down." This empty page feeling was helped by geography: they began writing the record in the middle of a snowstorm, in a hundred-year-old barn in rural Massachusetts. "You looked out the window and it was just pastures and pastures of snow-covered fields," she said. Zinner had brought along a synthesizer to work with during the writing session, not expecting it to end up on the album. "That was an old keyboard I bought on eBay," he said. "Literally, it was the first day we were setting up, plugging things in. Ten minutes later, we'd written that song 'Skeletons.'" The song--and the whole record--have a new feeling of space and atmosphere that's unusual for the band. "Obviously, synths have been in rock music forever," Zinner says. "But to us it feels new, which is all we really care about--that excitement." It's Blitz! signals both a glance backward and a step forward for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Zinner's vintage Arp--the same model used on records by The Cars, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk--contributes atmospheric washes ("Skeletons"), disco wiggles ("Dance till you're dead!" Karen sings on "Heads Will Roll"), and New Wave melodrama ("Soft Shock"). The first single, "Zero," combines all these elements to create a dance-floor anthem that sings directly to the listener. "We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things," O said. That's something I'll never be able to shake in the music I write. It's almost feels like a John Hughes 80s movie." But acknowledging the past in this way doesn't sound make for a nostalgic-sounding album. "I think there's a cool stability reflected in this record," Brian Chase says. "It reflects our transformation, and how we've developed as people."
Pitchfork Review:
The cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' debut LP, 2003's Fever to Tell, set an early-decade benchmark for sheer ugliness, a deliberately heinous splatter of webbed blood, stabbed snakes, and flaming heads. The music was also confrontational, with lead singer Karen O following in the footsteps of countless riot grrls and righteous rock queens in crafting a persona of raw defiance and sexual menace.
Fast-forward six years, and a glance at the instantly iconic cover of the band's third full-length, It's Blitz!, tells you all you need to know about how far the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have come, from Fever to Tell through the middle-ground growing pains of 2006's Show Your Bones and up to today. A clean, simple image of a woman's hand bursting an egg-- it's no less powerful an indication of feminine strength and defiance than Fever's abrasive scrawl, yet it's miles and miles more subversive. It's also a fitting symbol for its music, taking familiar shapes and tools and recombining them in ways that are bracing and unexpected.
It's Blitz! is constructed from parts that by themselves aren't extraordinary-- in fact, many of them are quite banal, like the generic Franz-Bloc-Killers modern rock riff that propels "Dull Life" or the doomy one that drives "Shame and Fortune", sounding ripped straight off a late-period Smashing Pumpkins record. Much has been made of the album's heavy reliance on rock's eternal bugaboo, the synth, but often the synths are doing rock things rather than dance things, like on the buzzing, road-burning opener "Zero". Only two songs, "Heads Will Roll" and "Dragon Queen", deliver real disco backbeats.
With these unremarkable tools, however, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs still create great, compelling pop-rock, largely because of the way the songs themselves are organized, with conventional verse-chorus structures repeatedly eschewed in favor of detours, miniature grooves, and lengthy asides that produce the sensation of a band and a singer impulsively following their own emotional whims. Take the lovely, insinuating "Soft Shock", for instance-- it starts with tinkly keyboards and an Far East-sounding melody that builds to a refrain utilizing the words in the song's title, but it isn't the song's emotional climax, which is hidden until later, when Karen worriedly intones "what's the time, what's the day, gonna leave me?" Even more compositionally jarring are the slow, stretched-out set showcases "Skeletons" and "Runaway", the former taking a blippy little electro-ballad and then plopping martial drums and a melody that sounds taken from some Scottish battle hymn smack dab in the middle. In keeping with the arty tendencies that have blossomed within the band from the beginning, these songs often feel portioned out into passages or movements as opposed to flowing organically throughout.
With such an absence of easy signposts, we're especially apt to follow Karen wherever she goes, since she's our only hope for a guide. Yet she refuses to be a locus of explanation or control, keeping her lyrics generally vague and frequently losing herself in bursts of incomprehensible excitement or fervor. These fits and embellishments account for most of the best moments on the album-- the way she breathlessly pants "crying, crying, crying" on "Zero", or giddily draws out the last syllable of the line "a hundred years old" on "Dull Life", or how "Heads Will Roll" and "Dragon Queen" periodically dissipate into an inchoate softness.
The ninth song on Fever to Tell was "Maps", a fleeting glimpse of vulnerability on an album of gleeful scorn. On It's Blitz! that slot is occupied by "Hysteric", a song every bit as emotionally naked and immediately indelible as "Maps". Here though, it represents an island of piercing clarity and happy convention in a sea of bewilderment, impulse, and ecstasy.

Vol Ball Haul Brad Eckel Eric Spraggins Jordan Harris Hunter Culbertson
The Team
Overview The goal of our project was to create a "rollercoaster" on which we could calculate the theoretical kinetic and potential energy at any given point during the run. We used a simple design in order to increase the accuracy and consistency of each run. We made the run take as close to fifteen seconds as possible.
Materials We use a ball bearing as the "coaster" and PVC pipe as the track. The PVC pipes are supported on four 2x2s by several screws. The base is a small piece of plywood.
Building We first cut a piece of plywood that was 0.5 meters on each side. We also cut four 2x2s that were also 0.5 meters long. Next we cut the PVC pipes to an appropriate length so they would fit within the 0.5 meter box. Finally we constructed the basic supports and attached the PVC pipes using screws.
Testing We ran several tests and made adjustments to make sure the run lasted fifteen seconds and was consistent. The only problem we had was that the ball bearing tended to stop at the corners, so we filed down the end of each pipe to make a smoother transition.
Conservation of Energy To calculate the initial potential energy we used the equation: PE=mgh During the run we were able to calculate kinetic and potential energy by using: PE + KE = PE' + KE' KE=(1/2)mv 2 We did not need to find the mass of the ball because it canceled out on each side of the equation.
Conclusion By using a simple design the coaster is very consistent, and we are able to calculate the kinetic and potential energy of the ball bearing at different points throughout the run. After several hours and many tests the project was completed and presentable.

text: Have you ever wondered what Paradise should look like. Are we conditioned into what it should loo like and how we deserve to be in paradise. Pick a spot near water and the marketing engines kick in. Are we wired to go on vacation in or around the beautiful beaches and lakes? What constitutes a successful vacation? Does it live up to the hype? Or are we just trying to find to decompress for a while. When that is the case it seems like it takes a couple of days to fully fall into vacation time. Then starts the count down when you have to go back to the real world in 4 days,, 3 days, 2 days urgh lets pack and go. Then the plans start about what you will do different next time. My real question is that what is paradise. Is it merely an escape from the daily grind, if so there are much less expensive ways to possibly accomplish that. I get back to have we been wired to expect that a vacation looks like a trip to Disney land or the Outer Banks or Laguna Beach. Is a vacation where all warring parties agree to a cease fire. Or do arguments start because everyone has competing agendas on the vacation and no one feels as though they have been heard.

Jennifer Nettles returned to host the CMA Country Christmas event in 2016, with performances by Kelsea Ballerini, Loretta Lynn, Trisha Yearwood and more.
The Country Music Association has revealed the lineup for the 2016 CMA Country Christmas TV special, which is set to air on Nov. 28.
The first previews for Dolly Parton's 'Christmas of Many Colors' TV movie have been released.
What better to commemorate the holidays than lighting the nation's most famous Christmas tree at New York City's Rockefeller Center? Even better, country stars will help do the honors in 2016.
Do you consider "The Nightmare Before Christmas" to be a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? My thought is that it's perfect for each, but I do consider it to be more of a Halloween movie. It's been 20 years since the movie came out, and there still might be some things about this classic that you might not know.
97.3 The Dawg's "Rowdy Christmas Concert" starring Dylan Scott and Dustin Sonnier at Cowboys Nightclub in Lafayette on Friday, December 9th.
Doors open at 7:30pm with music starting at 9:00pm...
Chris Young's family Christmas tradition has gotten out of hand. The singer is totally "that guy" when it comes to decorating, he says.
This seems to be a topic of discussion around this time every year. When should stores start putting out their Christmas stuff?
Chris Young is getting by with a little help from his musical friends on his forthcoming It Must Be Christmas album.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... for Rascal Flatts, that is. The country trio recently announced that they will be releasing a holiday album this year.

Supply chain issues prompt abattoir closure
A Scottish halal abattoir is set to close with the loss of more than 100 jobs, after its owners said its location caused the business "significant supply chain complexities".
The 1 Stop Halal facility in Letham, Angus, is 500 miles from the company's manufacturing plant in Haughley Park, Suffolk. The firm said it had found an alternative abattoir nearby in the Suffolk town of Eye and would be looking to acquire these facilities in the next few months.
Employees of the Letham abattoir were told of the closure plans on Wednesday and a 45-day consultation period has started.
"Our immediate priority now is to have meaningful discussions with our colleagues during this consultation period to see if other alternatives can be found to minimise the impact of our proposals," said a spokesman.
2 Sisters Food Group (2SFG) operates a nearby plant in Coupar, Angus and is currently recruiting 90 new staff. A spokesman for 2SFG said the company would be "talking to [1 Stop Halal] to see if there is an opportunity for their people to join us at Coupar".

Battery Energy Storage
Accommodating renewable generation that is expected to account for 20 percent of total capacity by 2040 requires new strategies for grid management. Battery energy storage is an effective way to address these challenges.
Utilities dealing with high penetration renewables can apply storage solutions to address power quality and power flow issues. Energy storage can also help defer investment in grid assets by helping manage location-specific load growth and aging infrastructure. Moreover, energy storage offers a capital-efficient means to address peak demand at both local and system-wide levels.
Selecting an experienced partner to help navigate a battery energy storage project from concept through implementation ensures the highest return on investment.
The Landis+Gyr Difference
Implementing successful energy storage solutions requires a partner with know-how, technology independence and strong financial backing. Landis+Gyr is a partner that delivers a:
- Comprehensive solution suite that enables the best solution for any given problem
- Bankable warranty
- "Cradle-to-grave" support built on 100+ years of utility service experience
- Expert integration of low total cost of ownership solutions
Energy storage solutions are suitable to solve a variety of grid management challenges. Storage can be used to:
- Assist with peak demand management sited at either side of the utility meter
- Support load flows from intermittent renewables
- Help balance supply and demand, such as frequency regulation and energy shifting
- Provide Volt/VAR stabilization to improve power factor
Landis+Gyr delivers a broad range of capabilities in assisting utilities and grid operators with storage solutions. These include:
- Front-end engineering design

We want to continue to curate your kitchen to be one of the best sources for keeping your skin in its best condition. Granted our products are considerably one of the best ways to do so, we also want to be sure to provide diet information that can also go a long way. See below for a list of some random goods that pack a punch in the fight against keeping your skin in its most gorgeous condition.
photo cred: http://tinkerbell2477.tumblr.com
- Almonds-This vitamin E brightens and livens up your skin by neutralizing free radicals—molecules that dull your look. In addition, almonds' fatty acids also make you gleam.
- Apricots-This vibrant fruit throws wrinkles into reverse. The vitamin A found in this gem is converted by our bodies to retinol, a compound that helps produce new cells.
- Sunflower oil-Even well-hydrated skin can look cracked without this unique oil's linoleic acid—a fatty acid that helps create a lax outer layer of cells. Even consider sautéing or baking with it for a baby-smooth complexion.
- Whole-wheat bread-The niacin found in whole grains can reduce any redness from acne, rosacea and other skin irritant inducers, and all by its power to inhibit inflammatory agents.
- Salmon-Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, salmon's healthy fat hydrates dry patches, and may also help increase the production of collagen and elastin, two essentials for soft, no-flake skin.
- Crab-One of our most interesting picks, crab has much to offer—especially with it's zinc. Crab zinc helps reduce inflammation to decrease any pimple-making damages.
- Oranges– The banisher of bags, vitamin C is highly potent in this delicious fruit. Not only does it provide a scent that refreshes, it also strengthens collagen too—which aids the skin's supportive structure thus lifting sunken areas that create shadows.

By SAMUEL G. FREEDMAN
Published: December 12, 1984
The production of new American plays in low-cost showcases - the method used to develop more than 150 plays in New York each year - is being disrupted by a dispute between playwrights and Actors Equity.
In at least five recent cases, major playwrights have withdrawn the permission they had granted for Off Off Broadway theaters to perform their plays. The action has sent waves of fear and confusion throughout the theater industry.
''This is beyond detrimental,'' said Jane Moss, the executive director of ART New York, an alliance of about 80 Off and Off Off Broadway theaters in the city. ''These theaters have been devoted to doing new work. If there are no plays for them to do, there will be no theaters.''
The Off Off Broadway theaters include the WPA, the Hudson Guild and the Ensemble Studio Theater. They have developed such shows as ''Little Shop of Horrors,'' ''Da,'' ''Open Admissions'' and ''To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday,'' and they have given the premieres of new works by such writers as David Mamet, Romulus Linney and Terrence McNally. Several dozen shows move from showcases to commercial or regional theaters in most seasons.
Role or Pay for Actors
The theaters are, in essence, the innocent bystanders in a bitter battle between playwrights and Actors Equity over the so-called conversion rights rule. The rule guarantees that whenever a new play moves from a showcase production to a regional theater, each actor continues in the cast or receives three weeks' payment from the regional theater - from $600 to $1,500, depending on the theater. A showcase runs in a theater with fewer than 100 seats and pays actors below the minimum wage, under special Actors Equity codes.
Playwrights and some agents contend that the conversion rights rule discourages regional theaters from producing plays, because the theaters cannot afford to pay off the unwanted actors from the showcases. Actors Equity, however, maintains that the rule provides necessary protection for actors who have worked in showcases at extremely low wages.
The conversion rights rule has been in the Actors Equity contract with the League of Resident Theaters - the national organization of regional theaters - since 1981. The current dispute began with playwrights who are clients of Gilbert Parker, one of the most prominent literary agents in New York. But it has spread from a one-agent crusade into a large-scale dispute involving such major theatrical organizations as Actors Equity, the Dramatists Guild and Samuel French, the play publication service.
''You have some people at regional theaters,'' Mr. Parker said, ''who are up-front enough to say, 'Don't send us a play from a showcase,' '' meaning that it would be too expensive to stage. A similar rule also governs the transfer of plays from showcases to Broadway, but most Broadway shows can easily afford the buy-outs.
By withdrawing plays from showcases, the playwrights and their agents are trying to persuade Actors Equity either to change the conversion rights rule for regional theaters, or to waive it in individual cases.
Union Holding Fast
''I feel very sad about doing this,'' said the playwright A. R. Gurney, who has withdrawn a full-length play and seven one-act plays from two Manhattan theaters. ''But it's a question of principle. To put these plays in a situation where they'd be so encumbered would be a poor idea.''
Alan Eisenberg, the executive secretary of Actors Equity, said that the union will neither withdraw nor compromise on the conversion rights rule.
Mr. Eisenberg pointed out that actors play a vital part in developing plays in showcases, while being paid between $2 and $8 a day - with no pay at all for rehearsals. If a showcase production succeeds well enough to be staged subsequently at a regional theater, Mr. Eisenberg said, the actor was partly responsible for the success and deserves either a role or a reasonable payment.
''The actor is working for virtually nothing,'' Mr. Eisenberg said. ''What else do I have to say? The writer is getting his play done and exploiting the actor to do it. How dare they talk about further exploiting them by doing away with conversion rights?''
Theaters Left Stranded
Stranded by the dispute between the playwrights and the union are the city's Off Off Broadway theaters.
''We're caught in the middle,'' said Richard Bell, the artistic director of the American Kaleidoscope Theater on West 63rd Street in Manhattan. ''The Off Off Broadway theaters have the least pull with the playwrights, their agents, or Equity.''
Mr. Bell's theater had obtained the rights to ''Richard Corey,'' a new play by Mr. Gurney, who is best known for ''The Dining Room.'' The show was scheduled for March 1985. Then, several weeks ago, Mr. Gurney withdrew the rights.
Mr. Gurney also withdrew the rights he had given the Riverwest Theater in lower Manhattan to do seven of his one-act plays over two evenings in January. He said he did so because Actors Equity was treating the plays as new works, subject to conversion rights, although they were written between 1962 and 1971 and had been previously performed.
''It's tremendously frustrating and it's tremendously damaging,'' said Nat Habib, the artistic director of the Riverwest Theater. ''Gurney kept telling us he wanted to do the plays. He approved the two directors. We spent months auditioning people. We sold tickets - it was our most popular item. Then we have to cancel. It puts a scar on our reputation.''
Revivals May Be Affected
In addition to the two incidents involving Mr. Gurney, there have been several others. Nancy Kassak, the artistic director of the New York Theater Workshop in Manhattan, said that Amlin Gray has withdrawn the theater's rights to his play ''The Fantod'' unless Actors Equity waives the conversion rights rule.
Terrence McNally has refused the rights to his comedy ''It's Only a Play'' to a producer who wanted to take it on a tour of summer stock theaters next summer, according to Mr. Parker, his agent.
There are also indictions that the conversion rights dispute is affecting revivals. Deborah Pope, the artistic director of the New Theater of Brooklyn, said that the Park Slope theater was about to begin rehearsals of Derek Walcott's ''Pantomime'' - which had been staged in several regional theaters but never in New York - when Mr. Walcott's agent retracted the rights to the work.
Wendy Bustard, the managing director of the WPA Theater, said the Samuel French play publication service refused to give the theater the rights to revive George Kelly's ''Fatal Weakness.'' An official at Samuel French, who asked not to be identified by name, said: ''I told WPA that agents are being increasingly concerned about the conversion rights.''
