Gov. Mark Dayton's (D, MN) budget surrender ceremony.
The formal capitulation took place yesterday, and signals an end to Gov. Dayton's ill-conceived, ill-timed, and ill-executed attempt to dominate the Minnesota legislature in the same way that predecessor Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R, MN) did during his term in office. The very short version, for those not following along: Minnesota Republican legislators wanted a $34 billion dollar, two-year budget with no new taxes; Dayton wanted | Read More »

"Finding Vivian Maier" (Sundance Selects/IFC) - Criticwire: A-; Metacritic: 75; Festivals include: Toronto 2013, DocNYC 2013, Berlin 2014; available on Video on Demand on 3/31
$63,600 in 3 theaters; PSA: $21,200
Some of the most successful documentaries in recent years have focused on obscure artists involved with the creative process. "Finding Vivian Maier" certainly qualifies. It chronicles the work -- and the discovery of the work -- of an unheralded photographer, unknown in her lifetime, whose accumulated amateur work was discovered among the belongings left with the family she worked for as a nanny. Since then curated and shown at exhibition, this film both presents her art but also strives (a la "Searching for Sugar Man," albeit with the central figure no longer alive) to recreate her life. IFC opened this at 3 prime New York/Los Angeles theaters to significant interest. This is the best limited opening for a documentary since last summer in fact (when "20 Feet from Stardom," "Blackfish" and "Act of Killing" all opened strong).
What comes next: IFC is expanding this quickly to all top markets in the next two weeks to parallel its home viewing availability. This might end up being a year-end awards contender as well.
"Mistaken for Strangers" (Abramorama) - Criticwire: B+; Metacritic: 70; Festivals include: Tribeca 2013, Seattle 2013, London 2013; also available on Video on Demand
$81,800 in 9 theaters; PSA: $9,089
No genre of documentary has been as successful over nearly 50 years than those about rock concerts and bands, from "Woodstock" to those directed by masters like Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme and many more. But this one found its own take -- the somewhat alienated filmmaker brother of the lead singer of the band "The National" goes along on their European tour and records his own impressionistic take on the goings on, not always enthusiastically received by the group or his fellow roadies. Opening in a range of theaters, apart from New York's IFC Center primarily in non-chain independents, this shows a respectable result (more so with the limited, mostly social-media marketing keeping the expense to a minimum). And it came alongside Video on Demand showings, which these initial dates will enhance.
What comes next: The VOD looks like its main future venue, although this has multiple dates (some less than full-week) across the country throughout April.
The biggest move among already opened films that have yet to reach the Top 10 came from "Bad Words" (Focus). Jason Bateman's comedy jumped to 842 screens (+755) to place #13 with $2,645,000 (PSA $3,141, total $3,564,000). This could be the high water mark for the film, which has expanded fairly quickly, backed by significant advertising. This is falling short of the early returns for similar more general audience appeal comedies from studio specialized units. For example, Fox Searchlight's "The Way, Way Back" in its 4th week (after already banking $5 million) grossed $3,445,000 on 886 theaters on its way to a $21 million total. As the first two weekends' results for "Words" suggested, this looks headed to a much lower total, likely shy of the $10 million mark, subpar for the initial investment of $7 million for worldwide rights.
Among second-week films, the two of note whose distributors reported returns are "Jodorowsky's Dream" (SPC) and "Rob the Mob" (Millennium). "Dream" took in a modest $36,700 in 7 theaters (+4), PSA $5,243, suggesting this will have a mostly niche future ahead. Raymond De Fellita's "Mob," which had a decent initial weekend at New York's Angelika Theater to open, added 4 theaters to gross $25,600 (PSA $5,120), indicating that this won't match the breakout success of his previous "City Island."
Other than end-of-run Oscar related films, only a handful of other releases grossed above $50,000 this weekend. The best was "The Lunchbox" (Sony Pictures Classics) in its fifth week, adding $313,000 in 73 theaters (+37) for a $911,000 total Also doing well is "Le Week-End" (Music Box), finding some of the older audiences that recently have embraced "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Quartet" among others. It grossed $225,000 in 50 theaters (+25) in its third weekend, total $483,000 so far.
Also expanding in their third weeks were "Enemy" (A24), with only $132,000 in 120 theaters (+ 24total $778,000) despite the same director/actor pairing (Denis Villeneuve/Jake Gyllenhaal) as last falls "Prisoners." Cohen Media's Catherine Deneuve-starring "On My Way" added $60,200 in 31 theaters (+11) to reach $150,600.
Two longer-run docs added to their totals. "Tim's Vermeer" (SPC) in its 9th week did $97,000 in 94 (-35), total $1,430,000, while "Particle Fever" (Abramorama) held up well, falling only 5% in total as it grossed $75,000 in 27 (+6) in weekend 4 to reach $449,000 so far.

Zimbabwe'S POLITICAL BACKGROUND
The contested 2008 presidential elections led to an upsurge in political violence and a five-year period of power-sharing between the main political parties. Since the 2013 elections, relations between the former liberation movement ZANU-PF and opposition parties have remained polarized.
THE APPROACH OF NIMD IN Zimbabwe

NIMD works in Zimbabwe together with strategic partner, DIPD (Danish Institute for Parties and Democracy), and implementing partner, Zimbabwe Institute.

Nick And Vanessa Lachey Are Having A Boy
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
Deep down, every soon-to-be-parent has a preference as to whether theyd like a boy or girl. The scale might not be tipped completely to one side, but alone with their thoughts, theres a great push to one side or the other. Unlike most future moms, Vanessa Lachey came out and admitted after she got pregnant that shed always hoped a boy would come first, and now, it seems as if shes getting her wish.
The Wipeout star took to her website to let fans know she and husband Nick Lachey found out theyre having a boy. As for potential names, the couple is still playing it close to the vest, either because theyre secretive or they havent decided, but given the little guy isnt due until September, theres still plenty of time to hunt through baby name books.
Earlier this week, Vanessa unleashed the greatest pregnancy photo ever onto the world, which in retrospect, now seems like the perfect way to preempt her big announcement. As a habitual user of social media sites, her biggest fans will no doubt get almost daily updates from this point forward about how everything is coming along, but with any luck, it will be so routine that the next big announcement wont come until shes in labor.
Pop Blend wishes Nick and Vanessa nothing but the best as they eagerly await their newest family member.

On January 29, 2014, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Luis A. Quintana signed an Ordinance requiring Newark employers to provide employees with paid sick leave. With this new law, Newark became the second city in New Jersey, after Jersey City, to require private sector employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. The Ordinance's stated objective is to promote the overall health and safety of the residents and workers in the City of Newark by reducing the risk of and spread of communicable disease and contagion. The law goes into effect May 29, 2014, though employees covered by a current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) on that date will not be affected until after the expiration of the CBA.
The Ordinance requires that all employees who work in the City of Newark for at least 80 hours in a year accrue a minimum of one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours actually worked, up to a minimum of 40 hours of paid sick time in a calendar year, as long as the employee works for an employer who employs 10 or more employees. Employers with fewer than 10 employees are only required to provide their employees with up to 24 hours of paid sick time in a calendar year, except for employees who are child care workers, home healthcare workers and food service workers—all of whom must be permitted to accrue up to 40 hours of paid sick time. Employer is broadly defined to include all employers except the United States government; New Jersey or its political subdivisions or any office, department, agency, authority, institution, association, society or any instrumentality of New Jersey, including the legislature or judiciary; and the City of Newark. For purposes of calculating an employer's number of employees under the Ordinance, an employer is required to include all employees performing work for compensation on a full-time, part-time or temporary basis in the City of Newark provided that such employees work at least 80 hours in a year. If the number of employees fluctuates, the employer may use the average number of employees who worked for compensation during the preceding calendar year.
Employees must begin to accrue paid sick time on the first day of employment, but employees are not entitled to use accrued paid sick time until the 90th calendar day of their employment. Accrued but unused paid sick time must be carried over to the following calendar year, but the employer is not required to carry over more than 40 hours of unused paid sick time from one year to the next. Further, the Ordinance does not require an employer to permit an employee to use more than 40 hours of paid sick time in a calendar year. Employers are not required to pay out employees for accrued but unused paid sick time upon termination of employment.
The Ordinance requires that an employee must be permitted to use accrued paid sick time for:
An employer may require advance notice of the intention to use paid sick time, where the need is foreseeable, and may request that an employee confirm in writing following use of the paid sick time that it was used for one of the foregoing reasons.
The Ordinance also requires employers to give written notice to each employee at the commencement of employment regarding the employee's rights under the Ordinance. Employers must also display a poster in a conspicuous and accessible place.
Important for employers is the fact that any employer with a paid leave policy, such as a paid time off (PTO) policy, that provides an amount of paid leave sufficient to meet the total annual requirements of the Ordinance that may be used for the same purposes and under the same conditions as the paid sick time under the Ordinance is not required to provide additional paid sick time. Additionally, the requirements of the Ordinance may be waived in collective bargaining agreements.
What This Means for Newark Employers
Employers who operate in Newark, New Jersey, should consider having their PTO and sick leave policies reviewed and revised to meet the requirements of the Ordinance, including but not limited to, ensuring that:
Employers who do not have PTO or sick leave policies are required to enact a paid sick time policy that meets the requirements of the Ordinance before May 29, 2014. Further, employers are required to distribute the required written notice to each employee and post the required notice in a conspicuous and accessible place before May 29, 2014.

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Thank you for your question. I am a bit taken aback by the fact that they have actually told you that you were released from work until you fill out a new form.
The form itself is standard amongst many companies and is used to determine the scope of the potential accommodations that you may need and to also determine whether your disability is real.
There is no provision in the law which allows your employer to release you from work until you fill out a reasonable accommodation form though. That would be a violation of your rights and discrimination based on your disability.
I would contact your HR department immediately and tell them that they can't release you from work as this would be in violation of the ADA and that if they do you will immediately contact the EEOC and report the violation and ask for penalties. Tell them that you are handling the RAR form and will get it back to them ASAP but that they have no right to then dismiss you from work, as this would be PER SE discrimination.
The EEOC puts out a guideline for handling reasonable accommodation requests. It is at: http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/accommodation.html#general
While the employer may request documentation, there is no indication that the proper procedure would be to force you to not work until you provide the documentation. That is ludicrous! Rather, the employer may simply not make further accommodations until you provide the documentation. Their action is in violation of the EEOC regulations and the ADA.
ok... the dr completed number 2 at his office just now. But what about number 1? why do i have to be cleared from Medical? Do i have to subject myself to a medical exam?
I called HR guy and told him i was going to be at work on monday and he couldnt stop me from coming to work according to ADA. and the HR guy said " well i have to see where that is in writing?" and that I could not come to work.
also was told it would be without pay and that i could use a vacation day.
1. You are released from work effective COB 22 Feb 2013, until cleared from Medical to return to work.2. Must completed the attached RA Health Care Provider Information form and return it to Medical.3. Once all documentation has been completed then we can continue to pursue other work related accommodations.
So really need something to show that they have to allow me?
Is it referred to in the EEOC link?
thanks... wish i had more for a bigger tip. Sincere Appreciation to you
The HR guy is wrong. The EEOC guidelines don't specifically state that your employer can refuse to let you go to work until you turn in a Reasonable Accommodation Request that is approved by their medical department. It is a simple matter of logic that if the employer is prohibited from discriminating against you based on your disability, and you have lodged a reasonable accommodations request, then telling you that they will not let you work until they "approve" your request is illegal discrimination.
I would come to work on Monday and I would tell the HR guy that you've spoken to a lawyer who says they can't take you off work if you are able to do your work under the current accommodations and that if they do take you off work you will file an EEOC claim.
Good Luck,
this is a fortune 100 company. international aerospace corporation
doesnt some of this stuff like accessible restrooms already supposed to be in place? a door that you can open? i am more than taken aback. everyone there has been supportive from the site leader down to my employees. i am hoping this is just an HR wannabe lawyer who has gone astray>
Things like making restrooms accesible is not something that is done automatically and is not something that is automatically required when and if the building was constucted prior to the enactment of the ADA.
I am suprised as well that this company, given its size and complexity, would do something like this. I imagine that the HR guy is simply incorrect on the proper procedure to follow. You might want to see if you can call the legal department internally and ask them to intervene for you with HR. It is silly that he is trying to tell you that you cannot come to work.

O.K. I just got back to Cape Cod from Ft. Myers Florida last week, where I rode almost daily in heavy traffic, stuff coming from all directions.Urban, keep your eyes peeled, and think fast riding. Not THE safest place.No problems. I haven't ridden for a week since I got home. The skies have been grey, it's still pretty chilly here, and I am Mr. sunlight depravation.Needless to say I've been pretty disgusted with the N.E. for my first week back. Today was sunny, but a little chilly, so I'm OUT THE DOOR for a bike ride.I rode the rail trail from Dennis to the Brewster/ Orleans line, then turned for the return ride back.We're talkin nice quiet farmland here!! The bike path runs along Great Western Rd.,once you get back into Harwich. Almost into Dennis coming up on Lothrop Ave. I see white spray flying across the bike path some ways up.I'm thinking, they're blowing out a fire hydrant. As I get closer, I see lines of fire trucks, and ambulances, lights flashing, I smell fuel oil, and I see a front end loader crossing the bike path. What the Hell?
I'm maybe six feet from the road on the N. side. On the S. side I see a semi/ tanker trailer overturned, on it's side. The cab is maybe 40 ft off the road through a fence, into someones back yard, AND underneith the overturned tanker trailer is a...small pickup truck... FLATTENED! #2 fuel oil is gushing down the street.(4000 gals).A front end loader is building a birm to catch some of the spilled fuel. I'm told the semi driver is still in the cab but being rescued although I can't see from my view, and I get two conflicting stories on the fate of the driver of the pickup truck. Well, turns out the guy MADE IT OUT with a few broken ribs!!! His truck was totally flattened, and to see it you would say no way!!! The semi driver was pulled out safely too. That the driver of the p"up made it is a miracle, if I've ever seen one. My wallet is thicker than that pickup!! They shut off the power to the area tonight for fear of fumes igniting. I still smell like fuel oil hours after yet another shower, and this all in conservation lands, swamp,cranberry bogs, etc. One neighbor( N./S.) said "People are always running that stop sign. Another guy (E./W). said, Those damn big rigs always fly down this road! You couldn't get out of their way if you had to!! Who knows. It was just a nasty scene!! Not knowing the fate of the drivers til later tonight, I was damn near sick just thinking about it.
Point is...This is a peaceful mellow ride through the quiet back woods of Cape Cod. Again we're talkin farmland here!! Trees, ponds, nature, etc. I'm 6 to 10 ft. off the road, and the accident is 40 ft. DEEP on the other side. Mass destruction!! What if we were on the same side, and I was maybe 10 minutes earlier....Just because you are on a seperate path, and "WAY" off the road, doesn't put you in a safe place. Whenever, and where ever you're riding, keep your senses finely tuned in. Turn off the I-pods, and cell phones. Pay attention, and be safe. You just never know. Sorry for the long post.

Gary Lewis drops GOP bid for Scranton mayor
Republican Gary Lewis has withdrawn from the Scranton mayoral race.
Mr. Lewis, a financial consultant who won the GOP mayoral nomination in the May 21 GOP primary, filed paperwork Wednesday with the county elections department to drop out of the race.
Mr. Lewis, 27, became civically active last year during the city's financial crisis. With an accounting background in financially distressed asset acquisitions, Mr. Lewis publicly advocated at council meetings and on his own blog for Chapter 9 bankruptcy as the only solution - absent state assistance - to the city's financial problems.
Mr. Lewis owns IZA Analytics, which he said performs accounting and managerial services for corporate, municipal or consumer distressed-asset acquisitions.
A political unknown, Mr. Lewis decided to run for mayor in the GOP primary. He and county GOP Chairman Lance Stange Jr. believe that Mr. Lewis' presence in the race focused debate on the city's fiscal woes. However, Mr. Lewis said he started having second thoughts about his mayoral run around two months ago, even before he won the primary.
"I realized I started something that was a little too big for me to be a part of," he said. "When I got involved in the race, I said I'm not a politician. I got involved because I didn't see anyone addressing the city's financial issues. I was more than a little surprised that I snagged the Republican nomination."
A candidate with more political experience and clout would be better suited to take up the baton, said Mr. Lewis, adding that he stands ready to assist that person in a campaign.
"I'm just ill-equipped at the moment to properly pursue a mayoral campaign. I was a little overwhelmed and think people deserve someone who has more than a 1 percent shot of winning. It's no secret that I was a real long shot," Mr. Lewis said. "I make no secret I'm a numbers guy. I don't shake hands or slide down slides to open pools. I knew this going in and me stepping aside and working with whoever is chosen is a better move."
Mr. Lewis' withdrawal creates a vacancy for the Republicans who now hope to find "an experienced, educated and well-prepared candidate" to run for mayor, Mr. Stange said.
Individuals interested in becoming the GOP mayoral candidate may email a letter of intent and resume to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5 p.m. on July 26, Mr. Stange said. In-person interviews will be conducted by the party's Executive Committee on Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. at Ramada Inn on Northern Boulevard in South Abington Township, he said.
In the GOP primary, Mr. Lewis defeated Marcel Lisi. He said he has not decided whether to vie for the party's selection to run for mayor.
On the Democratic side, Scranton Tax Collector Bill Courtright won the Democratic mayoral nomination over Elizabeth Randol and other candidates. Ms. Randol last week announced she has taken a job at Common Cause Pennsylvania, ending speculation she would take another shot for mayor in the general election, perhaps through a write-in campaign.

Panels and Presentations
Saturday, November 3
1:30 p.m. -- Carving an Understanding: Katsinas Outside of Hopi Life
Wells Fargo Theater
Although the deeper meaning of the Katsina doll has remained unchanged, what they represent to both the Hopi and those outside that community continues to be thought-provoking. Noted artists Clayton Kaniatobe and Ramson Lomatewama will present a variety of perspectives on the use of Katsinas in and outside of Hopi life as part of this moderated discussion.
3:00 p.m. -- Native Voices Second Annual Short Plays Festival
Wells Fargo Theater
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Jim Thorpe's Olympic achievements, we challenged Native playwrights across the nation to write short plays exploring the theme "Indians in America: Native American Athletes Take the Field."

Sunday, November 4
1:00 p.m. -- This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made
Wells Fargo Theater
Frederick E. Hoxie, celebrated historian of Native American history, will talk about his new book This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made, a story of political activism with victories hard-won in courts and campaigns rather than on the battlefield.
For more than two hundred years, Indian activists—some famous, many unknown beyond their own communities—have sought to bridge the distance between Indigenous cultures and the republican democracy of the United States through legal and political debate. Hoxie weaves a powerful narrative that connects the individual to the tribe, the tribe to the nation, and the nation to broader historical processes.

Sojourn in Prague
Sojourn in Prague
One of the nice things about Free Software is that it can take you to some very nice places. Recently, it took me to Prague, Czech Republic, where I attended several Linux Foundation events (the Kernel Summit, Embedded Linux Conference, and LinuxCon Europe).
Although I have been to more than 100 countries in my travels with both Unix and Linux during the past 30 years, Prague has somehow eluded me until now. But, with three events in the same city and the possibility of attending an event without having to present at it, I used some frequent flier miles and performed some unique hotel juggling to attend the conferences at a reasonable price. Of course, the call of a city well known for beer and beer history helped, too.
Another nice feature of this trip was getting to see Linus Torvalds again and to listen to some interesting thoughts he had on the Linux community.

Communication No. 329/1988 : Jamaica. 27/03/90.
CCPR/C/38/D/329/1988. (Jurisprudence)
Convention Abbreviation: CCPR
Human Rights Committee
Thirty-eighth session
Communication No. 329/1988
Submitted by: D. F. [name deleted]
Alleged victim: The author
State party concerned: Jamaica
Date of communication: 6 May 1988 (date of initial letter)
The Human Rights Committee, established under article 28 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
Meeting on 26 March 1990,
Adopts the following:
Decision on admissibility
1. The author of the communication (initial letter dated 6 May 1988 and subsequent correspondence)is D. F., a Jamaican citizen born in 1954, currently serving a 12-year prison term at St. Catherine District Prison, Jamaica. He claims to be the victim of a violation of his human rights by Jamaica.
2.1 The author indicates that he was convicted of felonious wounding by the Circuit Court in Spanish Town on 24 January 1986 and sentenced to 12 years of hard labour. He claims to be innocent of the crime.
2.2 The author, a shopkeeper, states that on 10 March 1985 he was involved in a fight with one younger brother of the victim, E. S., who had allegedly insulted him and tried to steal several bottles of liquor from his shop. On 19 March 1985, stones and a bottle were thrown at his shop, destroying several windows. The author claims that at the time of the crime he was at his shop repairing the damage perpetrated earlier that day, and that he was not the person who, in a fight, had cut four fingers off the victim's hand.
2.3 The author alleges that the testimony of the prosecution's main witness,
one R. B., an acquaintance of the victim and of the author, was entirely fabricated.
He further claims that the judge misdirected the jury, both about the evaluation
of Ms. B. 's testimony, by stating that she was testifying on his behalf, and
about the conflicting evidence presented by the public prosecutor and by the
2.4 On 16 December 1986, the author's appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal of Jamaica. The author states that he cannot afford to file a petition for special leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council because he lacks the financial means to do so. A request for legal aid to the Jamaica Council for Human Rights apparently remains unanswered. It appears, however, that the author has not formally applied for legal aid under section 3, paragraph 1, of the Poor Prisoners' Defence Act.
3. By decision of 24 October 1988, the Working Group of the Human Rights Committee transmitted the communication to the State party and requested it, under rule 91 of the rules of procedure, to provide information and observations relevant to the question of the admissibility of the communication. It further requested the author to provide several clarifications about his efforts to apply for special leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. In several subsequent submissions the author claims, in essence, that the judge misdirected the jury, in the light of the contradictory evidence that was put before the jury and which it was for the jury to accept or reject.
4. In its submission under rule 91, dated 20 January 1989, the State party argues that the communication is inadmissible under article 5, paragraph 2, of the Optional Protocol, on the ground of non-exhaustion of domestic remedies, because the author did not apply, pursuant to section 110 of the Jamaican Constitution, for special leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
5.1 Before considering any claims contained in a communication the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 87 of its rules of procedure, decide whether or not the communication is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
5.2 The Committee has considered the material submitted by the author. From this information it appears that the author claims that the judge misdirected the jury, in the light of the contradictory evidence that was put before the jury and which it was for the jury to accept or reject. While article 14 of the Covenant guarantees the right to a fair trial, it is for the appellate courts of States parties to the Covenant to evaluate facts and evidence in a particular case. 11 It is not in principle for the Committee to review specific instructions to the jury by the judge in a trial by jury, unless it can be ascertained that the instructions to the jury were clearly arbitrary or amounted to a denial of justice. The Committee has no evidence that the trial judge's instructions suffered from such defects. Accordingly, the author has no claim under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
6. The Human Rights Committee therefore decides:
(a) The communication is inadmissible;
(b) This decision shall be transmitted to the author and to the State party.

Okay, so I've only just joined but thought I would show you all this WiP of Roun, a fantasy setting that is _kind of_ an alternate Europe.
This was initially hand-drawn, then taken into Illustrator to apply a whole bunch of symbols to it. More work was then done in Photoshop for colour and texture, etc. A lot of tooing-and-froing between the apps going on.
There's still more to be done to it, but all feedback at this stage is appreciated.
Many thanks!

A new display is on view at the Ohio County Public Library this month in honor of Wheeling native Eleanor Steber's 100th birthday.
Steber, who rose to international fame as a star of the Metropolitan Opera, was born in Wheeling on July 17, 1914. She was inducted into the Wheeling Hall of Fame in 1980. The acclaimed soprano died in New York on Oct. 3, 1990.
In remembrance of the Steber centenary, a staff member filled a display case with photographs, records, letters and programs, all drawn from the extensive collection of Steber memorabilia stored in the library's Wheeling Room.
Bethany resident Dr. Mary-Bess Halford, who cataloged the most recent additions to the library's Steber collection and gave presentations on the soprano at several locations, observed, "Recently a fuss was made about a soprano who sang Butterfly at the Met in the evening and then agreed to sing Mimi the following afternoon."
In April, Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais sang the title role in her first "Madama Butterfly" at the Metropolitan Opera, then was asked to replace an ailing singer in the role of Mimi for a televised performance of Puccini's "La Boheme" the next afternoon. According to published reports, Opolais became "the first singer in the Met's 131-year history to make two major role debuts within a day."
While Opolais' accomplishment is certainly notable, the late Met soprano from Wheeling once achieved an even more remarkable feat. "Steber sang Desdemona in the afternoon and Fiordiligi ('Cosi fan Tutte') in the evening of the same day," Halford related. "She was always charging to the rescue like that. It made quite a news story at the time!"
Meanwhile, a number of music lovers have expressed a desire for a musical tribute in Wheeling to mark the centennial of Steber's birth. It would be a fitting way to remember the city's most famous classical music artist.
Meanwhile, retired West Liberty University theater director John E. Reilly is having anything but a "retiring" summer.
In addition to directing the Independent Theatre Collective's outdoor summer production of "Two Gentlemen of Verona," at Oglebay Park, Reilly is now appearing on stage in the role of the Doctor in Kinectic Theatre Co.'s Pittsburgh premiere of David Mamet's play, "Romance." Performances continue at the Alloy Studios, located at 5530 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, at 8 p.m. today, July 27, through Saturday, Aug. 2.
The production of "Romance" is directed by Andrew Paul, co-founder and former artistic director (from 1996 to 2013) of Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre. During Paul's tenure at PICT, Reilly also appeared in productions with that company.
Incidentally, the final free performance of "Two Gentlemen of Verona" will be staged at Oglebay's Anne Kuchinka Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7.
Two talented theater professionals from the Upper Ohio Valley - playwright Matt Webster and actor Dale Sampson - are getting rave reviews for their work with a new show, "Propaganda! The Musical," that debuted at the New York Musical Theatre Festival this past week.
As part of the festival, "Propaganda! The Musical" was accorded five performances in New York City. The show opened Wednesday, July 23. The final performance was slated for noon today, July 27.
Webster, a graduate of Martins Ferry High School and West Virginia University, co-wrote the musical, in which Sampson, a graduate of Wheeling Park High School, plays the leading role.
A review by Theatre in the Now, published online Thursday, July 24, praised both Ohio Valley natives and their colleagues.
The reviewer stated, "Written by Taylor Ferrera and Matt Webster, 'Propaganda! The Musical' is a laugh out loud comedy that pokes fun in all the right places ... Ferrera and Webster have created a vibrant and cartoonish world where campy is served every second. And it works. It works real well. Ferrera and Webster are clear what this world wants to be and how large these characters can go. Ferrera and Webster, who share book, lyrics and music credits, have infused a poppy score that is catchy with instant toe tappers. If the key to a successful musical is being able to remember the music when the curtain drops, then Ferrera and Webster have succeed this with nearly every song."
The reviewer added, "In the leading role as Rookie, Dale Sampson is brilliant. Sampson is insanely, and unfairly, talented as the sweet and endearing Rookie. His range, from heart breaker to leader to comedic genius, is quite astounding. Sampson has a voice to be jealous of and comedic timing to strive for. A star was born with that performance."
The Theatre in the Now review concluded, "Fortunately, if you catch 'Propaganda! The Musical' at NYMF, chances are you've seen a future smash. Creators Taylor Ferrera and Matt Webster have a very bright future. Though Ferrera and Webster have an incredibly tough task in their future collaborations: figuring out a way to top perfection."

QUEENSTOWN, Md. (AP) - Maryland State Police say a Suitland man has been charged with a robbery at a Queenstown jewelry in which more than $300,000 worth of jewelry was stolen.
Authorities say 42-year-old Roy L. Tolbert surrendered to the state police Forestville Barracks on Friday. He is charged with armed robbery and other offenses.

An investigation by state police and the FBI led to Tolbert being identified as a suspect.

A set of three chest X-rays of blonde Tinseltown icon Marilyn Monroe sold for five-figures at an auction in Sin City over the weekend.
The images lifted from a 1954 hospital visit sold for $45,000 at the Hollywood Legends auction at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Julien's Auctions, which sold the X-rays, estimated that they would only fetch a total of about $3,000
The images had been displayed in Ireland, Japan and China before finally going under the hammer. Other items also sold at the auction included a chair from Monroe's last photo shoot, which went for $35,000, Christopher Reeves' Superman VI costume, that fetched $32,500, and a dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film Funny Face, which went for $56,250.
Marilyn Monroe died of an overdose in August 1962. She was 36.

The British businessman whose death in China has sparked an international crisis was held down while poison was poured into his mouth, sensational accounts of the crime have alleged.
Japanese newspaper Daily Yomiuri Online quoted an unnamed state official who said Neil Heywood was pinned to the ground by force as he was murdered.
Heywood, 41, was found dead in a secluded hotel near Congqing in November.
He was a friend of the family of Bo Xilai, a former rising star in Chinese politics who served as local party chief but was suspended from the Politburo in April amid allegations of "serious discipline violations".
Chinese authorities initially said it was down to alcohol overconsumption, but after a police chief from the region attempted to defect to America the murky truth of the killing began to emerge.
The UK subsequently asked China to investigate, which it has now promised to do.
According to the Daily Yomiuri, a senior party official held a briefing on 10 April in which he revealed the method of death.
The official alleged that Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and a servant named Zhang Xiojun, were behind the killing.
"They tried to poison Heywood with a drink, but he spat it out," the official said. "The two people then forcibly held Heywood down, and poured the poison into his mouth."
Another official said: "The item Heywood spat out was retrieved and stored by the deputy chief of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau, and that has become a decisive piece of evidence."
British foreign secretary Willia Hague said this week that Foreign Office staff were aware on 18 January of rumours that there may have been suspicious circumstances.
But it was not until after a former Chongqing vice-mayor and chief of police Wang Lijun raised the concerns with the US consulate on 6 February that officials informed Hague.
Unconfirmed media reports suggest that police suspect Heywood may have been poisoned after threatening to expose a plan by Bo's wife Gu Kailai to move money abroad.
On Thursday MPs from the Foreign Affairs Select Committee wrote to Hague asking him to clarify if Heywood worked as a spy for the British government.

Relativity Media Will Distribute in U.S.
Well, that's one film we can take out of awards contention for 2011. One of Steven Soderbergh's upcoming films "Haywire" won't be released till January 20, 2012. As we've been saying all along, Relativity Media has retained the domestic rights, with Lionsgate holding on to the foreign rights. Lionsgate was all set to release in the U.S. as well, until restructuring gave partner Relativity its own domestic arm for distribution. The initial date was April, 2011, which Soderbergh confirmed himself, but it was never officially announced; the restructuring deal points took much longer than anyone expected. Then August, 2011 became the next date everyone was zeroing on, but they too lost that window of opportunity when the deal pushed back the chance to release trailers and posters.
"Haywire" will star MMA fighter Gina Carano in her film debut alongside a phenomenal supporting cast of Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, new heartthrob Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas and Michael Angarano. Phew, that's one hell of a team of men to back up this new leading lady. Carano will play a covert ops specialist who discovers she's been double-crossed and takes revenge on her own company, in the film produced by Gregory Jacobs (who also produced Soderbergh's 'Ocean's Trilogy,') and written by Lem Dobbs ("The Limey"). David Holmes (the 'Oceans' Trilogy, "Out of Sight") wrote the score.
"We are honored to be working with Steven Soderbergh on this project. This film is full of amazing action sequences, and with a sophistication only Soderbergh can deliver," said Relativity's President of Worldwide Production, Tucker Tooley. "We're very excited to add our picture to Relativity's 2012 slate. We're looking forward to working with our partners at Lionsgate on the release internationally."
Relativity is coming off of a win with this summer's hit "Bridesmaids" (yes, they produced, Universal distributed) and has a few more interesting projects coming out next year, including Tarsem Singh's double with features "Immortals" and "Untitled Snow White Project," (the one with Lily Collins and Julia Roberts). This move to the beginning of next year means that Soderbergh will likely push his other film "Contagion" for awards contention this year, especially considering we're hearing that it could debut at the Venice Film Festival (which, incidentally, has a lineup that could be the best it's been in years). With "Contagion" having a heavier-hitter star cast, including Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law, it makes sense that "Haywire" wouldn't be quite such prime awards-season material.
"I think it might be best for 'Haywire' to follow 'Contagion', which is the kind of film people like to see me make," Soderbergh said in an interview last night. "It's in the vein of 'Traffic,' an entertaining multi-layered story about something timely right now. Because Gina has never been in a movie before, being able to draft off 'Contagion' will be very good. We knew she could do the right stuff, but she really delivers as a screen presence. She looks comfortable, and then she tears these guys in half."
At the very least the release date push for "Haywire" mean that we'll have something to look forward to in the post-awards doldrums of January.

34 year old woman | Winston-Salem, NC, United States | Seeking men 30-40 within 50 miles
It had to be you :)
I'm a small town girl, who moved to the city for college and never left. Could it be the allure of rush hour traffic or just not being surrounded by cows and peaches as far as the eye can see? Time will tell, but the peaches are great. :) Good thing I'm just a state away. I enjoy going out downtown, concerts, catching baseball games at BB&T ballpark, and being in close proximity to Target. :) Visiting local wineries and restaurants is a fun way to get out and explore. There always seems to be something new to do around here, which I love. I love my family and try to see them as much as I can. I'm the youngest of three children and the proud Aunt of two of the most adorable children God has ever made. We are spread out from Florida to Pennsylvania, but I like to travel so it's a win win for me. On the weekends, I'm usually hanging out with friends, catching up over dinner or drinks, catching a game, hiking, or taking my dog to the park. I'm the proud momma of an 8 year old Border Collie, who is smart enough to know how cute he is and that he can get away with anything with one wag of his tail. :) I'm the Financial Director for a small college in Winston-Salem. My students make everyday interesting to say the least, but I am rewarded every time another class graduates. I have volunteered for a local organization doing various outreach and fundraising projects for the past five years and am looking forward to what future opportunities lay ahead. I have set my mind to competing in running events and am training to complete my first triathlon. Prayers are appreciated. :) Training is a work in progress with small achievements, which are just that: achievements. I'm always looking for a silver lining. As for what I'm looking for in a match ... I want to be with someone who wants to fall in love. Someone who is interested in dating and getting to know each other over time and experience new things together. Someone wanting to build a relationship into a life filled with support and love for each other. He understands the little things in life are sometimes the things that mean the most : The feeling when they take your hand in theirs, make you laugh, or share a smile. If you have read through my ramblings this far, there's a chance something caught your attention. Please feel free to ask me questions, say hello, or wink. Wishing you good luck in your search.

Lea Michele Wins Choice TV Actress: Comedy — Honors Cory Monteith
In what was by far the most emotional moment of the 2013 Teen Choice Awards, Lea Michele (Rachel) won the award for Choice TV Actress: Comedy for her work on Glee, and the 27-year-old actress chose the moment to pay tribute to her late boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith (Finn).
This was Lea's first appearance at a public event since her boyfriend's sudden and tragic passing of a drug overdose on July 13. She has only been out in public twice before this, and for the Glee star step out in public, on such a national scale, shows an immense amount of bravery.
Dressed in a colorful pink dress, Lea looked upbeat, but could not hide her sadness. She was in tears for her entire acceptance speech, but braved her way through the emotional speech.
"I just wanted to be here today to personally thank you and tell everyone out there how much your love and support has meant to me over these past few weeks. Thank you," she said.
"Not that I had any doubt before, but you guys are most certainly the greatest fans in the world and I wanted to dedicate this award to Cory. For all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I promise that with your love we're going to get through this together."
She continued, "He was very special to me and also to the world. We were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile, and his beautiful beautiful heart. So whether you knew him personally or just as Finn Hudson, Cory reached out and he became a part of all of our hearts and that's where he will stay forever. So thank you guys so much. Thank you."

My impression is that it is a "data modelling" tool, and so it will probably never get completely into the application space. What I was after was complete and total application management.

DATE is a temporal data type. It has no format per se. Did some moron put a string in a column? First, find the moron and beat him, and replace all of his code. He is dangerously stupid.
Next, alter the table so you have a DATE column. Load it with CAST CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), stupid_date, 112) AS DATE). Alter the table to drop the original stupid date column.

Hi CELKO,
The date format was fine, it is just a date column; no string attached. I just need to create a column with the YYYYMMDD format. This allows me to join it to a fact table which has a DateKey column with that format.
Nevertheless, your method will prove handy should I need to convert a stupid_date created by a moron to a DATE column.

Government withdraws plans on staff and student governors
UCU today welcomed the news that the government is to withdraw plans to remove the statutory obligation for staff and students to sit on college governance boards.
The government, which had planned to push the reforms through the House of Lords, announced it was dropping the proposals following pressure from UCU, UNISON and the Nation Union of Students.
UCU had warned ministers that withdrawing the mandatory commitment would have increased the risk of mismanagement and corruption in further education.
UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'I am pleased that ministers have listened to the concerns of staff and students. These changes would have increased the risk of mismanagement and corruption at colleges and made institutions less answerable to the public.
'Staff and students play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability and in highlighting bad governance when it arises. A voluntary code, as has been shown in numerous other industries, is simply not good enough.'

Do you realize it is time to buy a tripod? Well, if you have realized the need to own a tripod, it is important to make sure you are buying the right tripod. Have you heard of carbon fiber tripods? Well, they are considered one of the best types of tripods available on the market especially today. Aluminum tripods have for so many years been the inexpensive option for so many photographers. However; they do not last long and do not offer the portability that carbon fiber tripods offer.
You might want to buy an inexpensive tripod type. However; it is always important to make sure you do not fall for cheap tripods. This is because; they do not last long and cause you so much stress and can ruin your image. When it is getting darker or the light is low, using a carbon fiber tripod will do you so much good. This way, you will have no problem with taking the right pictures like you want. There are also times when your shutter speed is very slow than that apportioned by the focal length of your camera. This is one moment in time that you will be glad you had a tripod made from carbon fiber.
There are so many ways by which both professional and amateur photographers have benefited from tripods especially carbon fiber tripods. If you are a busy photographer, you will appreciate all that carbon fiber tripods bring to the table.
