The Steak n Shake Co. has dropped plans to build 20 new restaurants, is cutting overhead expenses by about $20 million, and closed 14 locations. The Indianapolis-based restaurant chain found $16 million in tax savings dating back to 2006 and is working on a new, simple menu built around burgers, fries and milkshakes--all part of a turnaround plan orchestrated by the chain's new CEO, Sardar Biglari.
Charter Homes recruited and paid buyers to take out inflated mortgages on dozens of central Indiana homes it built, promising to manage the properties as rentals and make payments for the owners, current and former Charter business partners say.
The downturn in the housing market isn't tough just on people trying to sell their homes. It's also tough on the people who want to help those people sell their homes--real estate agents. Locally, their ranks have thinned as more and more leave the field to search for better prospects.
Simon Property Group Inc. has been readying its balance sheet and sizing up buyout targets in hopes of capitalizing on a worldwide markdown on shopping-center owners.
A local real estate developer has emerged as a top contender to buy the 28-story M&I Plaza--potentially at half the $50 million price the building fetched a decade ago. Paul Kite Co. confirmed it is in talks with Maryland-based CapitalSource Inc., which took over the struggling office tower in June after foreclosing on a $5 million mezzanine loan.
Mike's Express Carwash makes money the old-fashioned way. The second-generation family affair, now celebrating its 60th year, has invested its reserves in steady expansion, becoming a model for the $23.4 billion industry in the process. And its owners still sweat the small stuff.
Insurance giant Safeco Corp. is expected to either vacate or scale back its downtown operation next year--a move that could deal a major blow to the office market. At stake are about 700 downtown jobs, some or all of which could be eliminated or shifted to the suburbs. A final decision about the fate of Safeco's five-building downtown office complex likely will come after Boston-based Liberty Mutual completes its $6.2 billion acquisition of Seattle-based Safeco.
Buyers in Seattle, Milwaukee and even Bloomington have snapped up new cottage homes in developments that turn the McMansion trend on its dormer-decorated head. But will Indianapolis buyers have a similar appetite for the tiny energy-efficient homes clustered around community greens? A local developer is betting they will.
Charter Homes owner Jerry Jaquess fancies himself a white knight for King Park, a neighborhood once known mainly for its rampant crime, boarded-up homes and vacant lots. But as he's constructed a slew of homes and carriage houses there, the local builder has stirred up several lawsuits, dozens of liens and persistent questions about whether his business is legit.

Infiniti unveiled the Emerg-E concept this week at the Geneva Motor Show, offering new technologies the PR folk promise will be adopted in the brand's "quest to build dramatic and sustainable high-performance cars." It's the brand's first high-performance, mid-ship sports car, and the first Infiniti developed in Europe.
The Emerg-E concept features a lithium-ion battery pack for the twin electric motors driving the rear wheels; they offer up 402 bhp and acceleration from zero to 60 of a mere 4 seconds. The two-seater can operate on electric-only power up 50 km before the range-extending three-cylinder gas engine kicks in.
It's definitely a slippery-looking design, free of the huge cooling apertures a kickass internal combustion engine would need. With Infiniti trending towards smaller cars and four-cylinder engines over the next few years, it looks like a production version Emerg-E is destined for halo status.

The Montessori House Day School
Authentic Montessori Since 1978

Our Philosophy
Through the prepared environment of the Montessori classroom, we strive to help the child develop autonomy as a learner. We assist the child in developing comfortable and productive peer relations, learning the basic skills and concepts necessary for intellectual development in language, math, the sciences and the arts, and maintaining a healthy body. Our main objective is to make the child aware of his environment and to help him learn to organize it, to help the child to establish effective learning strategies and to kindle an excitement for learning.
Dr. Maria Montessori
What is Montessori Education?
Montessori education, named for the Italian physician Maria Montessori, stresses the importance of the development of a healthy self-concept. Education, she believed, is a preparation for life, not merely a search for intellectual skills.... the child has one intuitive aim- self-development. Within the child there is a need to develop inner resources and the ability to cope with a strange, complex world. The child who accomplishes this moves into harmony with the world and becomes a full person. The Montessori Method pursues the fact that the mind of a child is absorbent and thus the environment should be prepared carefully to train the senses, to stimulate curiosity, and to satisfy the need to know. Montessori's philosophy and psychological principals upon which she devised a carefully graded series of self-teaching devices are today, accepted as a positive alternative to traditional education.

Information Management
When I started at Miami in 2005, one of my first projects was the redesign of the Office of International Education website, which improved our ability to communicate study abroad program and procedure information online. Another early project was the creation of a monthly study abroad email newsletter which now goes out to over 3000 Miami students, faculty, staff and parents. Other web-based communication efforts, such as our work with Facebook and Twitter, are discussed in the Technology section of this site.
Newsletter sample stories:
- Going it Alone: Testing and Gaining Independence (December 2009)
- Featured Study Abroad Location of the Month: Botswana (November 2009)
- Host Families (October 2009)
In the advising process, we have also worked to improve and standardize the information we give to students by creating the Study Abroad 101 information session, a 30 minute group advising session offered four times a week in our office. This information session allows us to share general information with several students at once and help them start their research before later meeting one-on-one with a study abroad advisor. This allows us to use our one-on-one advising time more efficiently and to give students as much or as little individual attention as they require.
Communication with Academic Departments
Faculty members are often extremely influential in a student's decision-making process. They may be the ones who open a student's mind to learning more about a particular place, or they may discourage a student from "wasting their time with study abroad trips", so that the students seek out additional information or second opinions about study abroad. Opening the lines of communication with academic departments is therefore very important for student recruitment and for encouraging students to make educated, strategic study abroad decisions.
One problem that we initially faced was that some departments did not know that our office existed or where it was located. Others did not trust our office, and believed that study abroad distracted students from their academic and professional goals. Once they saw our approach to study abroad, our efforts to tie students' study abroad decisions to longer-term goals, and the range of study abroad options available, they were very willing to speak to their students about study abroad. These conversations have also helped us to better understand the academic departments' goals, the course offerings and the future career paths for students in those departments.
I've found that while a part of my job is to open students' eyes to the cultural assumptions they make, I've had to face professional assumptions of my own. While it did not seem an obvious ally, our School of Engineering and Applied Science has been one of the most supportive academic bodies in our curricular integration efforts, and has invited us to speak about the importance and accessibility of study abroad in all first-year engineering courses. Where many engineering students previously assumed they could not study abroad (or were told so by their professors or academic advisors), they are now learning about their options early on, and are able to integrate study abroad into their academic plan.
Conference Participation
I also maintain communication with study abroad providers and with colleagues in the field through reading and posting on SECUSS-L. I have been a member of NAFSA since 2005, and regularly attend regional and national NAFSA conferences, with increasing levels of participation in conference planning and presenting.

Other Professional Development
NAFSA Academy
I am a member of the 9th cohort of the NAFSA Academy, a training program for international education professionals at all levels of their career. My learning plan for the NAFSA Academy focuses on:
- Broadening my international education experience by learning more about international student recruitment and advising
- Studying leadership and management
- Becoming a more successful advocate for international education through research and scholarship
Academic Coursework
Another element of my professional development has been my study of Arabic. I audited two years of Arabic courses with Miami students, which gave me an opportunity to interact with them in a different setting. Thanks to my professional travel to Israel and my Arabic studies, I am now the advisor responsible for study abroad programs in the Middle East.
Leadership and Service
I served on the Miami University Student Affairs Council from 2006 to 2009. I have also been an active member of Miami's Unclassified Personnel Advisory Committee (UPAC) from 2008 to present, serving as Networking Chair for the 2008-09 year. Starting in 2009-10, I am a Wellness Captain for our Employee Health and Well-Being Office, helping that office to disseminate information about health and well-being activities on campus.

BackGround: London Temple, London, England.
Created 19 December 2007
Wolston was born about 1638 in London, Middlesex, England and married about 1660 in Lyme, New London, Connecticut, Hannah BRIGGS. She was christened 2 August 1646 in Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts, and died 6 February 1687, in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Wolston died 11 November 1717, in Lyme, New London, Connecticut.
One BASSETT Family in America
Buell Burdett BASSETTE
Pages 124 & 125.
Wolston BROCKWAY b. a 1638 Hannah BRIGGS m. (1) 1660 Widow Hannah BRIGGS HARRIS b. a 1643 m. (2) before Mch., 1707/8 Hannah ________ d. Feb'y 6, 1687/8 ae a 45 d. a Nov 1717, ae a 79
1642, Aug. 28. Vol. IX, p 12 Boston Ser: "Hannah of Wm BRIGGS born and burried 28 day 6th month." This is the first Hannah BRIGGS who did not live a day. Our Hannah above was born, doubtless within a year thereafter and even as it would bring her first matrimonial feast, which follows, close to her fourteenth birthday.
1657, Sept. 10 p 62 Do: "John HARRIS and Hannah BRIGGS daughter of William BRIGGS of Boston were married 10th 7th month -- by John ENDECOTT, Governor." Both in fact were of Boston. He lived probably not more than two years after this. Whether he died in Boston or moved to Lyme, Ct., with his little family of wife and one son (John HARRIS b. Boston Aug. 8, 1658) and died at Lyme is not known. The chances favor the latter, and that when he died, Wolston BROCKWAY saw her worth and spoke quickly for her.
1660 To be twice married at seventeen years of age is an experience not given to many; but such was the lot of Hannah BRIGGS. This second marriage took place probably in Lyme and probably very shortly after the death of her first husband.
1666. P 248 New London Hist (1852): At a Court of Asistants held a t New London "Wolston BROCKWAY was complained of by Matthew GRISWOLD for entertaining a runaway at his house". In connection with this Matthew GRISWOLD brought defamation suit against Wolston BROCKWAY and his wife; and in turn Wolston BROCKWAY and his wife brought suit against Matthew GRISWOLD.
1687/8, Feb'y 6. P 7 B Gen (1887): Hannah BRIGGS HARRIS BROCKWAY dies today at Lyme -- "Goodwife" BROCKWAY". She died at the early age of 45, the mother of ten children by second marriage, eight of them now being minors. She left also one son John HARRIS, born Boston Aug. 6 1658. He lived at Lyme as shown by Wolston BROCKWAY's interest in "John HARIS" in items below of 1687/8 and 1702.
1638. P 1 BROCKWAY Gen (1890): Wolston BROCKWAY was born in England about this date, if we consider him as just of age when he buys the following land and dwelling iin Lyme, Connecticut, where he was one of the earliest settlers. A deposition which he made in 1714 giving age as "seventy years or thereabouts" gives some latitude in placing birthday around 1644, but considering deed below we would place it a little earlier. There is a tradition that he came from Silver street, London. As yet we know nothing more of his antecedents. It is a distinguishing mark, indeed, for any erlier settler to be the sole progenitor of a name that lives and multiplies. Wolston BROCKWAY has this distinction; he is the ancestor of all who bear the name BROCKWAY in America so far as known.
It will be seen from the following that he was a "cooper" as well as a "planter". In Vol. I, on page 25 of the Lyme records his original autograph may be seen, along with that of Henry CHAMPION, the father of BROCKWAY's son-in-law Thomas CHAMPION. Wolston BROCKWAY lived a long, useful and active life to which the records which he left eloquently testify. The name BROCKWAY has been associated with the ferry in Lyme and with Joshua Town on tghe Connecticut River, five or six miles from the mouth, for 250 years and propably will continue tobe forever.
1659, Dec. 3. P 3 Do: Wolston BROCKWAY buys land with house and barn thereon, of John REYNOLDS, both of Saybrook, the land being described as "one ye east side of ye river over against ye town of Saybrooke", price ú20 sterling. This house was probagly on Duck River, at some distance south of the present village of Lyme, and near Long Island Sound. When a young man in those days built of bought a house it generally ment that he was prepairing for a family and we believe he was either engaged or had actually married Hannah BRIGGS HARRIS at this time of purchase. We have treated the marriage or engagenent and have put the (_________) Wolston at this time is about 22 while Hannah is 17.
1664, May 10. Vol III, p 15 C C, Hartford: "Matthew GRISWOLD plntf Contra John BURDEN & Wolston BROCKWAY Defndts In an action of slander to the damage of ú50. The Jury finds for the plntf cost of court only, ú1-17s."
1671, Aug. Vol. II, p 558 G C, Ptd: Wolston BROCKWAY with our Henry CHAMPION, Matthew GRISWOLD, Reynold MARVIN and others, were engaged in the celebrated battle with pitchforks and rakes between the people of Lyme and New London for the possession of the meadow lands between the two places. The Lyme men carried off Ensign MINOR of New London as a hostage, but finally they released him on promise that the law would prevail in the matter. "Soe drinking a dram together with some seeming friendship every man departed to his home."
1671/2, Mch. 12. Vol. III, p 122 C C: The case came into the County Court at Hartford with result thatr New London was fined ú9 and Lyme ú5, both fines being remitted, however, later.
1674, July 17. P 127 Do: Gregory WOLVERTON of Hartford, rich tanner, remembers Wolstone BROCKWAY in his will this way: "Mor over I give to wolstone brockwood seaner, ten pounds and to wiliam brockwood his son ten pounds." They were kinsmen of some degree as shown in item of 1709.
1675/6, Mch. 10. BVol. I, p 66 L R: "A deed of saile from Wolston BROCKWAYE, Planter, to Isack WALTERUS" of Lyme, Carpenter: A piece of land in the planting field "in consideration of a deare & just vallew by me in hand Receaved". Neither value not acreage are given, but it is bounded East by the Black Hall river.
1676/7, Feb'y 9. P 4 BROCKWAY Gen (1890): In a deed which he gives to Richard SMITH, Wolston BROCIKWAY is styled "cooper".
1676/7, Feb'y 13. P 4 Do: He was chosen a town hayward.
1677, Sept. 24. P 4 Do: At town meeting Wolstone BROCKWAY was chosen fence-viewer for the year ensuing. He must have done well at this job for the office stuck to him more of less all through life, being so chosen finally in old age on Dec. 10, 1714.
1677. Vol. I, p 79 L R: "A deed of saile from Wolston BROCKWAY unto John ROBBINS: know all men by these presents that I Wolstone BROCKWAY with hannah my wife inhabitance of Lyme . . . . for pay in hand Receved do sell . . . . a sartaine parsell of meeadow Land containing by estimation one acre, by the side of Black Hall River . . . . it amounts to two acres and a halfe . . . . & have hearunto sett our hand and seale in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred seventy seven.
Witness: Richard SMITH Wolston BROCKWAY Francis SMITH Hannah BROCKWAY"
1679. Vol. I, p 18 T V, in back: "Wolstone BROCKWAY is graunted the Rocky point against his house not prejudicing high wayes and passages to the watter ffor cattell."
1680, Dec. 24. Vol. I, p 43 T V: "Walstone BROCKWAY is chosen pound keeper." He was chosen likewise for the same office in 1682 and 1684.
1681, Dec. 28. P 50 Do: "Peter PRATT and Wolstone BROCKWAYE are collectors for Mr. NOYSEs Ratts for the year following." (Mr NOYSE was the minister.)
1682. P 6 B Gen (1887): He was one of the "stewards" of Lyme with Reynold MARVIN and is on a list of proprietorw of the town this year.
1682,Apl. 29. P 4 Do: Wolston BROCKWAY, Planter, sells to Christopher CHREDOPHUS of New London, for ú100, "all my land purchased of John REYNOLDS. in the neck of land commonly called Black Point, twenty acres of upland and three and one-half of meadow." In this deed, in addition to "Planter", he calls himself "Cooper of Black Hall".
1684, Dec. 29. Vol. I, p 99 V T: At a town meeting, Simon de WOLF & Wolston BROCKWAY are chosen haywards." Wolston BROCKWAY was also chosen pound keeper.
16-- June 1. P 4 B Gen (1887): His ear-mark for cattle, recorded at Lyme, was afterward transferred to his grandson William BROCKWAY Jun'r.
1686/7. Vol. I, p 29 P R, in back: "Wolston BROCKWAY is graunted the twelve acres on [ ] Land against the Lower Ciove of twelve myle Island att seven shills pr acra and that is 4ú 4s and the rest of his proportion he is to have in tghe insur[ ] as it shall be aprized by the measurers where it may be convenient."
1687/8, Mch. 5. Vol. I, p 193 P R: "first unto Goodman BROOKEWAY that he is allowed for John HARIS one pound seven shillings. Also that he shall have the Remainder of the fourth division in sumeconvenient place betwixt Josuah's Land granted to Mr. Wm ELY and fishing brok if it is to be thar found and to be prized according of other lands granted in the said division."
1688, Aug. 27. P 5 B Gen (1890): Walstone BROCKWAY, under the special tax collected under Governor Andros, was assessed ú0-8-7¢, his property being listed as follows: "3persons ú60-00-00; house and Lands, ú02-00-00; 2 oxen, two cows, ú16-00-00; 1 : 3 yerling, 5 : 2 yerlings, ú12-10-00; 1 mare, 2 hogs, 12 sheep, ú13-00-00; total ú103-10-00." There were seven unmarried children in the family at this time, while the mother had died early in the year. Perhaps the "three persons" were Wolston Sen'r, Wolston Jun'r, and Richard; the girls not counting, nor William, since he was of age.
1689, Nov. 27. P 4 Do: Wolston BROCKWAY Sen'r was chosen surveyor, Next year he was re-elected surveyor and chosen also a fence viewer.
1689/90, Jan'y. Vol. I, p 34 P R, in back: "The estat which is to be distributed is ú755-14-11 and is at none shillings and nin penc pr Ac." Wolston BROCKWAY with share of ú23-14-10 draws ú11-11-05 of the above.
1691, Nov. 30. Vol. IV, p 45 P C, Hartford: "At a metting of a Committee appointed by the town of Lyme for the Disposall of Lands: Wolston BROCKWAY Sen'r proposes for the 1oo acrs of Land that goodmanBENET did propose for he Layin down the same . . . . John HARICE proposeth for a small peec of Land a the falls River
1696, Aug. 17. Vol. I, p 117 T V: "At a towne metting Wolstone BROCKWAY Sen'r, John COLT and John Lee are chosen listers for the year ensewing."
1697. P 7 B Gen (1887): There is in 1697 a deed of gift from Wolston BROCKWAY to his son Wolston of land, "commonly known as the Planting Field, where my said son hath erected himself a welling house", near the lot of his own son William. In the same year he devised land to his eldest son William, "according to God's command to provide for my children." Later he gave some land to son John.
1698. P 7 Do: He was granted by the town the remainder of his roportion", viz: "the neck of land against the lower corner of Twelve Mile Island" and "at the upper end of the meadow, at the fishing brook, up to the landing place, near his house", showing that he then lived in that part of the town.
1698/9, Mch. 24. P 3 Do: A highway laid out is described thus: "The highway on the Southward side of Duck river is as follows: First, the highway from Wolston BROCKWAY's landing placed is four rods wide, the landing place being in length from said highway, southwest ten rods and a half to a stub" . . . . This road passed the "planting field" and thence to "Black Hall River". Between SMITH's neck and the planting field it passed Thomas CHAMPION's house, Richard SMITH's yard, Edward LAY's land and William BROCKWAY's corner.
1699, Dec. 18. Vol. I, p 123 T V: "At the same metting Walston BROCKWAY Senr was chosen Constable for the year ensewing but refuses to sarve as a cunstable." Wolston BROCKWAY was above 60 years of age and probably the refusal to serve was due as much to age as to the common unpopularity of the office. Though getting old for such an office as Constable his interest was still keen no doubt in the state of the times, whetherat home of abroad. This is the year when the Elector of Darmstadt, in anticipation of a total eclipse of the sun, which scholars had announced, issued a proclamation warning the prople to prepare for the "dangerous eclipse" by carefully housing all cattle the barn doors and windows being fully covered those of houses still more so, "so that the bad atmosphere might not find lodgment because such eclipses frequently occasion whooping-cough, epilepsy, and paralysis fever and other diseases." Although lotteries were still much used by State and Church, some advanced reformers at this time had begun to denounce them as "cheats" and their promoters as "pillagers". In manufacturing, woolen cloth was just beginning to be made in New England.
1700/1, Jan'y 27. P 131 Do: "At the same metting it was voated that Walstone BROCKWAY senier shall have the nally of forty shillings of land layd out to him near unto Richard BROCKWAY land one the left hand machamoodus path which is in Lewe of an acer of meadow at black point." (Machamoodus is the Indian name of East Haddam.)
1702, April 20. Vol. I, p 43 P R, in back: Walstone BROCKWAY Senr Complaineth that John HARIS and his Daughter Sarah and Jeams ROBINSON was left out of the last Distribution.

NASHVILLE, Tenn - A producer on Music Row is now out more than $30,000 worth of music equipment and cash savings after his home was robbed and ransacked.
Instead of being upset, he is using the experience to do something good for others. A lot of people are getting behind him, too.
Brandon Metcalf said his story is getting shared all over the Internet and people he doesn't even know are donating to help him get his music equipment back.
Faith has always been a big part of his life. Metcalf said instead of just replacing the equipment for himself, he'll use it to create a faith-based music company so he can hopefully encourage others.
"I spent a day or two angry and depressed and frustrated," Metcalf said. "And that's just not really who I am. All you can do is get back up and get back to work."
He said his idea of a faith-based music company is one that probably should have happened a while ago.
"I got so busy and life happened and I just never got around to it," Metcalf said. "And when this happened I really needed something to focus on."
Metcalf said he's amazed by the donations, now more than $3,500, which have come in from across the country.
"The number of people that have shared it online, Facebook keeps track of it, and it's almost to a thousand shares," he said. "Which is unbelievable."
It took anger and loss to kick-start the project, but now he hopes that anger and loss can inspire others.
"What I want to try to do is help people have a reason to put those (negative) feelings aside and focus on the good ones."
Metcalf's new music company will be called Eleven 17. It was his little sister's birthday. She died a few years ago. He said she would have loved this project.
A promotional video for Metcalf's Eleven 17 project is posted on his GoFundMe site. Donations can also be made there.

Theatre History
The Department has a number of researchers working in Theatre History over a wide range of both history and geography. Theatre History explores the material and cultural conditions of dramatic production which in our research includes puppet-plays, pantomime, melodrama, opera, and court odes, as well as more conventionally 'literary' texts. Theatre History investigates many aspects of the rich cultural form of theatre, for example: the theatre-buildings themselves; the social character of actors and audiences; transformations in production style; costume; music; the transmission of the drama text; groups of playwrights (regional, national, issue-based). Particular strengths of the research group are:
Medieval theatre
Medieval English theatre history does not end with the middle ages. New histories of medieval theatre have been created in post medieval times and the tradition continues in both community and commercial theatre. This 'theatre history' links the medieval and the modern and looks at various types of textual continuations, both in the form of the adaptation of medieval texts and the imitation of earlier models. Text and practice are considered against the backdrop of their social and ideological contexts.
Dr Margaret Rogerson is currently engaged in a study of the modern production history of the 'medieval' York Mystery Plays from 1951-2006. This study considers ways in which the history of these modern community productions intersect with other histories, social, cultural and theatrical.
Shakespeare in performance
Shakespeare's plays (and to a lesser extent those of his contemporaries) have survived in the theatre for 400 years through a variety of re-writing and re-conceptualising, often radical, and always responding to diverse cultural pressures. Professor Penny Gay has published extensively on the question of how Shakespeare's women have been represented on stage, in Britain, America, and Australia: this work raises issues that can be explored from a number of perspectives, including gender theory, semiotics, actor training, and the institutional politics of theatre. Associate Professor Anthony Miller works especially on the performance history of the Roman plays, and the way this history responds to issues of power in different periods. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, performance history includes the transformation of Shakespearean plays in film adaptations.
English theatre: Restoration to nineteenth century
Professor Penny Gay has recently published a monograph on Jane Austen and the Theatre (Cambridge University Press, 2002), which extensively explores the plays that Jane Austen knew, and the use she made of them in her novels. She is now pursuing the theatrical fortunes of a number of those playwrights (e.g., Hannah Cowley and Elizabeth Inchbald) and questioning the reasons for their virtual disappearance in the nineteenth century. Prof Gay and A/Prof Miller have also published on the opera and ceremonial odes of this period. A/Prof Miller is interested particularly in the political uses of these forms, and A/Prof Gay in theoretical questions concerning the relation between words and music.
Australian theatre
Professor Elizabeth Webby's research on Australian theatre history has concentrated on the period to 1850, for which she has prepared a performance calendar. She contributed a number of entries to Phillip Parsons, ed., The Currency Companion to Australian Theatre. She has recently published on Australian Shakespearean performance in this period and on adaptations of Marcus Clarke's His Natural Life for the later nineteenth-century stage. She also helped produce a documentary video on Sydney's first purpose-built theatre, the Royal Victoria. Theses completed under her supervision have included a study of J C Williamson's pantomime productions (1880-1914) and a performance portrait of Harry Rickards. She is currently supervising a PhD thesis on the history of the Independent Theatre, Sydney.
Resources for research in theatre history
Medieval and Renaissance: Fisher Library has all of the Records of Early English Drama series, the Malone Society record collections and reprints of plays, and reprints of the extensive publications in the sixteenth century debate about the virtues and/or vices of the theatre.
Shakespeare in Performance: Fisher Library has an extensive collection of printed facsimiles of early editions and rewritings of Shakespeare, as well as the online databases Editions and Adaptations of Shakespeare and the World Shakespeare Bibliography.
English Theatre, Restoration to Nineteenth-Century: Fisher Library has a very large collection of microfilms of original documents relating to British theatre history: journals and newspapers from the eighteenth century to the twentieth; playbills and programmes; and special manuscript collections such as the Larpent Collection relating to late Georgian plays. The English Drama online database covers published plays in English from the mid-sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century.
Australian theatre history: research at Sydney University is considerably enhanced by significant holdings in nineteenth-century literature at Fisher Library, and the outstanding collection of primary and secondary material on Australia at the State Library of New South Wales.

One way they can attract advertisers is to increase the level of control and they have done that with introducing the ability to choose which platforms advertisers can place Promoted Tweets. Here is a look at the choices.
The assumption here is that users of the various platforms are very different types so they can receive certain messages. It's also a way for Twitter to help advertisers not waste money by throwing their messages to those who may not even be in the ballpark as possible buyers.
Of course there is so much more to defining a great target for advertising messages and this is certainly an interesting approach. Twitter has had a mobile advertising option for a short while now but that relegated to iOS and Android devices. Now with the addition of the Blackberry platform the mobile advertising picture is almost complete (will mobile Windows devices get the same chance?)
Here is more from the Twitter blog
Promoted Tweets on BlackBerry will be displayed at or near the top of the timelines of a brand's followers and users with interests similar to the brand's followers. Promoted Tweets will appear in a BlackBerry user's timeline only once and can be dismissed, mirroring the experience on Twitter.com.
Promoted Tweets on BlackBerry and the ability to target campaigns to specific devices and platforms will help brands more easily connect to Twitter users —anywhere, anytime.
While we talk about this option primarily in the mobile realm notice that the first option is the desktop and laptop set. Let's not forget that while we are a mobile society, many are still chained to desks and computers for a go part of their life. It's not a pleasant though but it's real.
So how do you envision this ability to break out Promoted Tweets by platform helping your marketing efforts? Does this kind of segmentation make sense for your needs?
Tell us in the comments.

Vodka, ushankas (fur hats), bears, cold winters, and the mafia, are some of the popular stereotypes about Russia. This is a country that is still a mystery for many people around the world. That's about to change! And this time it's about the beauty and the music.
If ever an artist truly embodied the phrase, "The Next Big Thing", Russian girl, Diana Díez would be it. Diana's sexy mix of emotional vocals paired with her sophistication and confidence is what will make her one of the hottest stars of 2013.
Diana was born and raised in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia in a military family. Destined for stardom, Diana began performing every evening for her family, whilst barely out of diapers. Recognizing her talents, her parents enrolled her in a ballroom dancing school. Diana entered dance competitions as a child, and went on to dance professionally for nine years. Her wide range of Ballroom dance includes, Latin, Salsa, and Argentine Tango. Although Díana was awarded many Ballroom dance titles at the international level, music remained her real passion throughout those years. At the age of 19 Diana moved to Moscow to concentrate on her recording career; soon after, she created the stage name, Diana Díez. Whilst attending university, Diana divided her time between studying, working, and performing.
Diana Díez has a unique voice, approach, and attitude. With her breathtaking Russian beauty and stilettos, she is determined to do things her way.

It has been so dry lately that the weeds have slowed down slightly, so we're […]

Josh Duhamel and Fergie celebrate anniversary
Josh Duhamel and Fergie celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary at upscale restaurant Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Friday night (10.01.14).
Josh Duhamel enjoyed a romantic date with Fergie for their wedding anniversary.
The 'Safe Haven' star celebrated five years of married life with Black Eyed Peas star on Friday night (10.01.14) and took her for dinner at upscale restaurant Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, according to the MailOnline website.
The 41-year-old actor thanked his fans for their congratulations and wrote on Twitter today (11.01.14): ''Thank you all for the well wishes. Much love. JD''
The couple, who welcomed their first child, Axl, into the world in August, tied the knot in a $1.5 million ceremony in Malibu, California in front of guests including Kate Hudson, Justin Timberlake and Fergie's band mates will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo, before jetting off on honeymoon to Dubai.
Fergie recently revealed their son made their latest Christmas extra special as he was ''very curious'' about everything.
The 38-year-old star said: ''It's all about baby Axl this year.
''It's really cute because he's been looking at the tree and the lights in our house and he's very fascinated by this and the ornaments. He wants to touch it and feel the way that the bristles feel on his feet and hands and he's very curious about it.''
She added: ''It's such a happy feeling as a parent to see the curiosity in your child's eyes.''

I need to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I need to try this also!
Very cool! Gotta try this one. (Isn't vinegar awesome?) New follower. Visit me and follow me back if you like. ~Kerrye http://impossiblecleanliness.blogspot.com
Saw this on Pinterest – my showerhead needs this so bad!
I've done this for years. It works great!
Thanks so much! I need to try this…I love vinegar and use it on my wood floors…amazing shine!
how dp you use it on wood floor?
Wonderful tip! Will have to try, thanks. (Found this link through pinterest.) :)
Coudln't you just unscrew the head and soak it in a container of vinegar?
Yes…and you can scrub it with an old toothbrush etc. when you actually pull it down. You can clean inside the pipe, clean the washer and so forth… that is actually where you may find most of the gunk. :-P. works much better…. but I think you knew that!!! I often add some baking soda for a bit of grittiness when cleaning with vinegar, it helps with mineral build-up and such. (kinda like Comet ~ but non-toxic.) If you are needing to "bleach" the sink, tile or grout while you're at it… use hydrogen peroxide with baking soda…great on teeth as well!!!
Terri: yes, that's a great idea and would work just the same…if your shower head screws off. Mine doesn't though.
Makes sense! I'll have to try this. I came from Pinterest.
This really works and spray on you plastic shower curtain get rid of soap scum and hard water build up..(the black stuff too.)
Hooray! This is great and worked beautifully! Thank you for such an easy fix!
This is brilliant.
Saw this on Pinterest, I just did it! I can see it already dissolving the junk!
I saw this on pinterest also . soaking now . I use vinegar for so many things since we have hard water and never thought of this ! duh ! thanks !!
Just saw this on Pinterest and will try it tonight! My shower head is desperate for a decent cleaning.
My photography is available for purchase – visit Around the Island Photography on etsy and Society6 and bring home something beautiful today!
Thanks! I'm new to hard water. I'm soaking now!
I never thought of the baggie, but my shower head comes off pretty easily, so I soak it in a bowl of white vinegar, usually overnight, and it works great!
Thanks a ton !!! My showerhead needs it bad…
Don't forget the wonders of baking soda and vinegar together! Clear a clogged drain and make it smell fresh, take off tarnish or scale, de-grease laundry, clean the rangetop, and on and on! Cheap and non toxic!
Will have to try that combo on the rangetop & to de-grease laundry (never thought of that)!
I tried this, along with mixing vinegar and baking soda, and neither worked. The shower head was submerged in the vinegar or vinegar/baking soda solution over night, and it didn't clean my shower head): I was so upset.
CLR using the same method of baggie…..works since the vinegar did not work as well for you
Thanks for the idea! I featured you on Organizing Homelife! http://www.organizinghomelife.com/archives/2581
This is not a 'new idea'. I've been doing this for years, after getting it from Heloise's Hints.
This is a NEW idea to me and I LOVE IT!! Just tried it on our kitchen faucet and it looks like new. Thank You!!!
Will this work on brown/bronze shower heads as well?
I would think so, but I'm not positive??
WORKED PERFECTLY! Didn't have rubber bands but used painters tape and it worked just as well!
I had trouble getting a good sized rubber band around my house so I used a clip I use for snakc bags & that worked at holding the bag on.
I found a solution to soap scum and other crummy messes that I use regularly in my sinks and bathtub; just mix white vinegar with a few drops of lemon juice!
i found you from organizing homelife.com… blog . and im so grateful for all of the tips and learning i am able to get !!! thanks ladies so so much .
Great idea! and easy. I will do this. Thank you for sharing.
When I get home am going to try this we bought an older home and my shower heads need this am also going to try the Tarter mixture on my appliance Thanks for sharing.
I use salt & vinegar to clean all stainless steel cutlery. Boil water ,then add 1 tbs of salt & 1/4 cup vinegar. Let cutlery or any stainless steel items sit for 10 min. remove & wash and you will see them sparkle.
Never heard of salt w/vinegar. I use baking soda with the vinegar. I'll have to give it a try!
I just tried this and it works, but the best "side affect" is that my puppy hates the smell so now he won't go into the bathroom while I am cleaning it!
I thought this looked like a great idea & tried it on my brass..do not use on brass fixtures!!
Thanks so very much for the handy hint!! Gonna go and try it on my two shower heads right away.
tried it and it didn't work for me guess it is time to get a new shower head
How about removing the nozzle, take it apart, soak…scrub and return. It really is more thorough, you can get at it with a toothbrush or whatever your favorite cleaning tools are!!! Also add some baking soda to the vinegar, once it stops foaming it should do a pretty nice job for you. ♡Wend
Trying this today.
I tried this and left on overnight. My polished nickel shower head turned black. Not a good idea for certain surfaces.
Didn't work for me either; made the chrome nice and shiny but didn't get any of the gunk out.
I just wanted to note that there is a FAR simpler way! This works well for older style shower heads, but look closely at the holes. See how they kinda look like little rubber udders? There is a reason and a purpose for them. Whenever you're showering and look up to find a clogged hole, or one that seems to be WAY off on its aim, use your finger to press on the udder and wiggle it a bit. This works loose any clogs and you're good to go!! A few minutes reduced down to a second. Gotta love modern technology! :D
I tried this and the vinegar ruined the finish on my faucets. Every time I look at them I am sickened. Don't use vinegar for this purpose.

Apologies for the late blog…spent the weekend down in Tampa with family…only my second missed home game in about a decade but well worth it.
The Good
The Bad
Tech at the Half Way Point
I thought Doug's mid season report was pretty much spot on.
I do think he missed one thing that's important…the lack of a consistent pass rush and an ability to stop the run early in the season.
If the Jackets are going to survive the upcoming gauntlet of Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Miami the defense must continue to improve and sort out the issues that continue at both the inside and outside linebacker positions. Nose tackle is pretty much what it is. We have some good players there, but they're a little under sized. The inside linebackers have to take up the slack and the outside linebackers have to deliver more pressure.
ACC Coastal Standings down the Back
Continue reading Mid-Week Thoughts & Did Richt Say That?!?! »
In a game that wasn't as close as the score, the Jackets delivered a 33-21 Homecoming victory over the Virginia Cavaliers.
Defense Steps Up Early, Carries the Offense
The defense played great in the first half and basically carried the water for the offense as the Jackets were able to move the ball at will, but not crack the end zone.
In that first half, the Jackets had drives that ended with a bad pitch, a fumble, a failed fourth down conversion, and an interception. Up until the very end of the second quarter, when Nesbitt dove into the endzone to cap a 59 yard TD drive, the offense was shooting itself in the foot left and right. They were moving the ball, teasing the Jackets fans in attendence, but had nothing to really show for it except for a couple of Scott Blair field goals. It was beginning to feel like Wake Forest all over again.
But miraculously, through all of the offensive mistakes, the Yellow Jacket defense pitched three three-n-out series plus a fourth at
UVA & Homecoming
The Jackets and Hoos will kick off at 3:30pm EST this coming Saturday, as Tech celebrates its 2010 Homecoming.
Hopefully we'll see a return of Paul Johnson's offense to the Flats right along with students, fans, and alumni from across the nation.
Details on Homecoming can be found here…Forever Bold in White & Gold.
If you are able, the Ramblin' Reck parade is highly recommended:
Ramblin' Reck Parade
A tradition that began in 1932, the Ramblin' Reck Parade rolls on! Be there to root for your favorite contraption and see how many make it to the finish line. Hosted by the Reck Club.
Date: October 9
Time: 8 a.m.
Location: Fowler Street
Spreading the Ball Around
On the last game winning drive against Wake Forest, Joshua Nesbitt completed passes to Tyler Melton, Roddy Jones, Stephen Hill, Orwin Smith, and Corey Earls.
That's right…passes to five different guys in one drive.
And if you include the TD pass in the preceding drive to Embry Peeples you're talking about
According to one of the guys on the GT message boards, "Ugly doesn't show up in the Ws and Ls."
That's true…thankfully. It means we can put this game behind us and move forward at 3-2 even though there's not much to feel good about.
I spent the first three quarters of this game wondering to myself if I might be witnessing the worst exhibition of GT football in the past decade.
On offense we couldn't block anyone, we couldn't run the ball, and we couldn't catch anything. Wake Forest defenders were in Nesbitt's back pocket just about every snap and several catchable balls were dropped. The offense looked lethargic and distracted. It was obvious that something wasn't right.
Luckily, defensively, the Jackets only had to face Wake Forest's fourth string QB. That allowed Groh's unit to hold the Deacons to 11 first downs and a measly 268 total yards of offense. It also allowed the Jackets to stay within striking distance as they slept walk through the first 45 minutes
One of the great things about getting the opportunity to write this fan blog is the fact that it ocassionaly provides me with a soapbox and a voice that might otherwise get lost amongst the verbal flotsam that comprises a majority of the blog comments…
Bigger Bust? Bobo or Groh? Really…Seriously?
With all due respect to Jeff Shultz, how can you compare Mike Bobo and Al Groh?
This is not even comparing apples to apples. Its not comparing apples to oranges either. Its more along the order of comparing a grape to a watermelon.
I'm not going to assign a name to either fruit. I'm just going to say, hopefully very succinctly, the following:
A few thoughts after a long, hot afternoon on the Flats.
The Good
The Bad
The Ugly (a product of not tackling, catching, or blocking…)

A Mixed Bag
Week Three of the 2010 NCAA football season was a mixed bag.
The ACC looked alternately strong and weak as OOC wins by FSU, VT, and NCSU were offset by Maryland, Duke, Clemson, and Wake Forest losses to OOC opponents.
Wake and Duke both managed to give up over 60 points in their losses. So maybe their recent 54-48 shootout isn't so impressive.
Tech and UNC were the only ACC teams with a conference game this weekend. The end result is that the Jackets 1-0 conference record puts them atop the standings going into their showdown this coming weekend with the Wolfpack from up the road in Raleigh.
The Wolfpack will come into Bobby Dodd Stadium with a 3-0 record that includes an impressive win over Cincinatti in their last outing. Looking at the stats, its obvious that NCSU dominated…491 yards of total offense and almost 35 minutes of time of possession. A near 50/50 split between the run and pass on offense and stingy defense that only allowed the Bearcats 2.4
After giving up three long scoring drives and 17 points in the first half, the Georgia Tech defense rallied with adjustments and youth to stiffen up and hold the Tar Heels to just seven second half points in a tough, gritty win.
The Good
The ACC
The ACC made it through the first week of the season with a 10-2 record, losing only games in which they were the underdog…only to completely fall apart in week two.
Obviously, Georgia Tech squandered away a road win over a BCS out of conference opponent.
But that was just the beginning…FSU got punked 47-17 by Oklahoma in a game that never looked competitive, Miami turned the ball over four times en route to a 36-24 loss to Ohio State, and Virginia Tech lost 21-16 to a James Madison team that outscored the Hokies 14-3 in the second half.
The only true highlights were Wake and Duke's 54-48 shoot out (49 points in the second quarter must be an ACC record) and UVA putting together a scrappy effort in a 17-14 loss to Southern Cal.
When the best moments of the weekend are delivered by Wake, Duke, and Virginia…well…pickings are slim!
The ACC deserves to be ridiculed this week…mercilessly…
Tech's Defense
The Jackets defense gave up 320 total yards to Kansas. That's not

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — House Majority Leader Kirk Cox says he's disappointed Gov. Terry McAuliffe's administration is reconsidering several state board and commission appointments.
Cox sent a letter Monday urging the McAuliffe administration to reconsider his decision and appoint about 60 people former Gov. Bob McDonnell had picked to serve prior to leaving office.
McAuliffe's administration said last week that because of a clerical error by the McDonnell administration the appointments were not communicated to the General Assembly and are now considered vacant.
The governor's office has encouraged those appointees to reapply, but has not guaranteed that they will be reappointed.
In his letter, Cox said the appointees were not communicated to the General Assembly because a pregnant McDonnell staffer went into labor early.
The affected boards include the state tourism board.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - A light show erupted in the dark skies over the Jackson metro area Thursday afternoon, but electricity in the clouds above proved dangerous for those on the ground below.
A home in the Knightsbridge Subdivision off Hoy Road in Madison caught fire after being struck by lightning. WLBT cameras were kept out of the gated community, but neighbors told WLBT no one was injured.
Around 2:00 p.m. Richland firefighters responded to a fire at the Southwind Apartments on Lowe Circle. A lightning bolt struck the front porch of unit #4. No one was hurt. Richland Fire officials said the rain combined with the heavy wind extinguished most of the flames before firefighters arrived on scene.
The strong winds were to blame for power outages across central Mississippi. Drivers carefully navigated through intersections with traffic signals out. Entergy Mississippi reported 185 outages from the storms leaving almost 3,700 customers with out electricity. By Thursday night power to most customers had been restored.

Hungary was an ally of Nazi Germany in WW II, suffering considerable losses on the Eastern Front and during the Soviet offensive that culminated in the bloody siege of Budapest with its massacres and mass rape as the Red Army finally conquered the city. As much as they dislike German tanks, the post war Soviet occupation and the 1956 uprising taught them to fear Soviet tanks. Nowadays, it's cool to mock the Germans while pocketing their money. Still, they poke fun at the Russians – they're still way to frightening.
