These and other star songwriters created the best toe-tapping, mood-busting, uplifiting music ever written—in the heart of the Great Depression, just when people needed it most. Put on your happy feet and come listen as noted theater historian Robert Kimball packs a show full of songs to shake our collective blues away.

Artistic director Robert Kimball's statements from his previous L&L shows on the 1920s:
(Click the names below to expand info.)
Our show is a presentation of songs about a period of transition in American life. It ranges from the boom times and boundless optimism of the late 1920s to the economic distress that followed the stock market crash and led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Broadway and the musical theater could not help but react to the changing world. It became apparent that stocks and Florida real estate would not bring Americans the lavish utopia they dreamed of. There was no buried treasure waiting at the end of the 1920s. The best things in life obviously weren't free.
The entertainment capital of the nation shifted from New York to Hollywood— from the legitimate stages to the motion picture studios. The Rodgers and Hart ingénue was no longer like "A Ship Without a Sail"; she was now selling her "friendship" for "Ten Cents a Dance" as a taxi dancer in the Palace Ballroom.

Many of the foremost songwriters of the era—the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Kalmar and Ruby, Fields and McHugh—continued to ply their trade on the Great White Way whenever possible, but increasingly they accepted the lures and inducements to head West and work for the movie studios, which had just adapted to the new world of talking pictures.
At the same time a new generation of talented songwriters emerged on Broadway in the early 1930s. Many, notably Harold Arlen, Vernon Duke, Burton Lane, E. Y. Harburg, Kay Swift, Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz, were friends and protégés of George and Ira Gershwin, and of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
While many of the songs of the new era remained relentlessly cheerful, some reflected a new realism—a more hardheaded look at love and loss that was reflective of economic and social dislocation.
Yet, even as the Depression worsened, the grim economic situation could not silence the exuberant, life-affirming voices of America's songwriters or dampen the public's desire for entertainment that would lift its spirits. Difficult as it is for us to believe, even at the depth of the Depression nearly 200 shows opened in a season. Today that number is around 40, with a corresponding drop in the number of people who see a Broadway show. A very different world; only thanks to stratospheric ticket prices are box-office grosses at a record high. What is not at a record high and may never be again is the number of songs that touch our hearts, linger in our collective memory, and sweep the clouds away.

Robert Kimball is a historian of the American musical theater and artistic advisor to the Ira Gershwin and Cole Porter estates. He has been a member of the advisory committee of New York City Center's Encores! and a consultant to the Library of Congress, the Chicago Humanities Festival and the Packard Humanities Institute's musical theater recording project. Robert has been the artistic director for Lyrics & Lyricists programs on Mack Gordon; Johnny Mercer; Irving Berlin; DeSylva, Brown and Henderson; and, most recently, Donaldson and Kahn. A popular speaker and creator/host of American Songbook concerts across the country, his recent appearances include Yale University's centennial celebration of Cole Porter and the PBS series, "Broadway: The American Musical."
Robert has edited or co-edited six volumes in Knopf's Complete Lyrics series: Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer. He edited Cole Porter: Selected Lyrics and Ira Gershwin: Selected Lyrics for the Library of America's American Poets Project. His other books include Reading Lyrics, Cole, The Gershwins and Reminiscing with Sissle and Blake. Last year Robert joined the advisory board of the new University of Michigan Gershwin Initiative, which will create the first complete scholarly edition of George and Ira Gershwin's creative work.
After graduation from Yale College and Yale Law School, Robert pursued his longstanding interest in American musical theater as curator of Yale University's Collection of the Literature of the American Musical Theater from 1967 to 1971. He received a Drama Desk Award for his rediscovery of lost musical-theater manuscripts in a Secaucus, New Jersey, warehouse.
Grammy Award-winner Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks have played in New York nightclubs; appeared in the films The Cotton Club, Finding Forrester, The Aviator and Revolutionary Road and in HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"; and given concerts at Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Town Hall and the Newport Jazz Festival. Born in Brooklyn, Vince's passion for this music and the people that made it began at the age 5. He has amassed an amazing collection of over 60,000 band arrangements, 34,000 pieces of sheet music, films from the 1920s and 30s, 78 rpm recordings and jazz-age memorabilia. He sought out and studied with important legends of the period: Whiteman's hot arranger Bill Challis, drummer Chauncey Morehouse and bassist Joe Tarto.
Vince's passion, commitment to authenticity and knowledge led him to create a sensational band of like-minded players: the Nighthawks. He has singlehandedly kept alive an amazing genre of American music that continues to spread the joy and pathos of an era that shaped our nation. Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks play every Monday and Tuesday night at IGUANA NYC at 240 W. 54th Street for both dancing and dining jazz fans. Their website is vincegiordano.com.

Created by the Legislature in April 1996, the Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement Academy (TFACA) holds the training of state firefighters and the testing and certification of codes enforcement officials as its primary objectives. The academy's unique dual curriculum and state-of-the-art training facilities are also available to related industrial and commercial organizations as well as out-of-state customers, establishing it as a regional center for the delivery of a full spectrum of emergency service, codes enforcement and first responder development courses.
Prior of the TFACA's establishment, the Tennessee State Fire School was located at the Tennessee Technological Training Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with program instruction administered and funded by the Tennessee Board of Regents. Through frequent interaction with various fire service and codes enforcement management officials, the State Fire Marshal discovered a pressing need for a new state facility considering the limited availability of classrooms and outdated facilities of the former fire school.
An urgent demand for codes enforcement training also existed. In Tennessee, all fire and building inspectors as well as state codes personnel are required by stature to have state certification. State-sponsored training for codes enforcement officials was previously unavailable with the exception of a contracted seminar, which was costly and required extensive travel. Upon TFACA's inception, the Department of Commerce and Insurance, which houses the State Fire Marshal's Office, assumed responsibility for its management and its mission of administering training to the state's fire service and codes enforcement professionals.
Construction of the 15-building campus began in August 1999, on 330 sprawling acres in rural northern Bedford County. Upon completion of the $27 million facility during the summer of 2001, the Tennessee State Fire School closed with operations; personnel and equipment transferred to the current academy.
Throughout the design and development of the academy, developers looked to the advice and counsel of a dedicated group of fire service and codes enforcement professionals. The product of that cooperation is a visionary multi-purpose training complex staffed by experienced fire service and codes enforcement personnel. The academy features modern classrooms with a supporting research library, a hands-on training center with specialized laboratories, a three-bay fire station for as many as 24 recruit firefighters and dedicated structures for realistic fire and codes training simulations. TFACA's full-service campus also includes dormitory accommodations for 104 students, a 250-person dining facility and an administration building.
The Tennessee Fire Service and Codes Enforcement academy directly affects the welfare and safety of every Tennessean. According to data received from the National Fire Protection Association, Tennessee ranks one of the highest states' in the Nation for fire related deaths and incurs hundreds of millions of dollars annually in property loss associated with fire. For this reason, the academy will look forward to expanding the original training mission to include specialized training to additional first responder agencies, including Homeland Security, law enforcement personnel and other related fields. The extensive course curriculum available at the academy, coupled with its authentic training scenarios, will help increase the life safety of Tennessee's approximately 23,000 firefighters and 3,500 codes officials by providing an education unparalleled by any institution in the Nation.

Research Paper: A Concept for NASA's Mars 2016 Astrobiology Field Laboratory http://www.astrobiology.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=25279
The Mars Astrobiology Field Laboratory Rover (MAFL) would be the first mission since Viking in the 1970s to look specifically for evidence of past or present life. The robotic lab would carry instruments for identifying and measuring the chemical building blocks for life (as we know it), including thousands of carbon-carrying compounds, elements such as sulfur and nitrogen, and oxidation states of trace metals associated with life. It would conduct detailed analysis of geologic environments identified by the 2011 Mars Science Laboratory as being conducive to life.
Such environments might include fine-grained sedimentary layers, hot spring mineral deposits, icy layers near the poles, or sites such as gullies where liquid water once flowed or may continue to seep into soils from melting ice packs. MAFL would be the next logical on site search platform that would follow the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (launched in 2005), Phoenix lander (launched in 2007), the Curiousity rover and other future missions to Mars.
Specific goals of the MAFL include: identifying and classifying Martian environments (past or present) with different habitability potential, and characterize their geologic context. It will quantitatively assess habitability potential by:

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 18, 2010) - Freshman Ramey Kerns' (Kings Mountain, N.C.) two goal effort was the difference Saturday afternoon as the ETSU women's soccer team dropped Campbell 2-0 to open Atlantic Sun conference play at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"I give a lot of credit to our defense today," said head coach Heather Henson. "They stepped up and really played well getting a shutout today. It's great to start off the conference season 1-0. The team is really starting to link up well, and it showed with our effort today."
The Bucs (5-2-1, 1-0-0 A-Sun) dominated the game in shots 20-6 with five coming on goal. ETSU also had a 4-3 advantage in corners.
Junior Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.) picked up her second shutout of the season only having to make one save in the match.
In the 13th minute, freshman Samantha Kron (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) made a big stop for the Bucs as she saved a shot by Olga Ekblom on an open net to keep the game scoreless.
The game did not remain scoreless for much longer though as Kerns knocked the rebound from a Jessica Huntington (Newport News, Va.) shot into the back of the net to give ETSU a 1-0 lead.
Kerns notched her second goal of the contest in the 53rd minute as senior Kelly Brinkman (Clearwater, Fla.) played a great ball forward to Kerns for a breakaway. Kerns then slotted a ball past the Campbell keeper to increase the Buccaneer advantage to 2-0.
The Bucs looked to have added another goal in the 84th minute, but a Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio) just missed going in as it hit the crossbar and deflected away from the goal.
Campbell efforted its best chance in the 89th minute as Masch make an incredible leaping save on a Cissy Nitz shot to preserve the shutout and make the final 2-0.
ETSU is back in action on Friday at 7 p.m. as the Bucs host Liscomb at Summers-Taylor Stadium.

Veterans: Become a Leader in Franchising – not a "job guy"
The past several years have not been promising for those looking for jobs, whether you are a college student or a transitioning service member. As a matter of record, those who do get hired are more likely to land a part-time gig as opposed to a full-time opportunity – and so that presents a dilemma: […] [Read More]

From birth into slavery as an innocent child to enlistment in the abolitionist movement as a freethinking, established young man, Frederick Douglass' life experience was far from uniform. His tumultuous childhood and adolescence left him in a perpetual state of transition between masters of varying levels of cruelty; adulthood went on to reveal evils so great as to strip away his desire for freedom and intellectual enlightenment, while also eventually exposing that such desires were necessary and vital to his living. Despite the frequent and considerable variance in his circumstances, Douglass' character can be defined by certain underlying themes in his personality: courage, righteousness, and confidence. In constructing the soundtrack for a historical epic drama based on the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, one set of tonal frequencies would be selected to support these themes, and contrasted with another set reflecting the dark, forlorn, and desperate times Douglass was subjected to. Each set would be broken into two primary categories: keynote sounds and musical selections.
Keynote sounds are those that "are overheard but cannot be overlooked;"[1] they give auditory identity to a given location, collaboratively forming a unique soundmark. Thus, divergent soundmarks would have great purpose in establishing an audial perception of the changes in setting throughout the film. The keynote sounds of a plantation would be significantly different from those of a city like Baltimore. Douglass was often "awakened at the dawn of the day by the most heart-rending shrieks of [his own aunt];"[2] he refers to the experience as horrifying and unforgettable, but acknowledges that it became somewhat of a normative occurrence. Over time, in combination with the whipping of other slaves and the procession of various plantation activities, Douglass became desensitized: the shrill screaming, the fiery crack of the whip, the harsh yelling and cursing, the woeful singing, the obediently stifled whimpering—these sounds became the auditory backdrop of daily life. In the city, Douglass was exposed to an entirely different soundscape. The streets bustled with the sounds of clacking shoes and noisy banter; the airspace in the shipyard was ever consumed by shouted orders and violent threats; relative quiet and stillness existed within the Auld household, until punishment was being given. Upon escaping the bounds of slavery and joining forces with the American Anti-Slavery Society, Douglass was exposed to yet another set of keynote sounds—this time in New Bedford, Massachusetts. These ranged from the well-mannered voices of his peers to the soothing, calm tones of his home living with Anna Murray. By contrasting these three sets of keynote sounds, the differences between plantation, city, and suburban life would be dramatized, as well as the disparity between enslavement and tentative freedom. Specifically, the sorrowful, harsh, and jarring tones of plantation and city life would be alleviated by the softer, kinder, and more comfortable sounds of suburban life, mirroring Douglass' transition from confinement to liberation.
Musical selections would be used to reinforce a negative emotional reaction to the immorality of slavery, and the opposite regarding emancipation. The portrayal of Douglass upon realizing that "Mr. Covey had succeeded in breaking [him],"[3] and that "[his] natural elasticity was crushed, [his] intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about his eye [dead]; the dark night of slavery closed in upon him"[4] would be supplemented by the song It's All Understood, by Jack Johnson. The composition utilizes a minor key, slow and lackluster tempo, and a melancholy beat; these factors naturally foster a sense of sadness and solemnity, and would effectively give rise to emotional discomfort when combined with the imagery of a defeated Douglass. In another scene, with people cheering and showing support for Douglass after a speech, the musical selection Rox in the Box, by The Decemberists, would lend an overall joyful and celebratory vibe with its upbeat tempo and pleasant swing beat. In combination with the visual image of such a liberated and optimistic man, the scene would encourage an emotional state of contentment and the sensation of happiness. All musical selections in the film would be from recent years, in order to make its historical setting more relatable to a modern audience; familiarity with the music would enhance the connection between viewer life experience and on-screen content. The holistic effect of music within such a historical epic drama would be to strengthen the audience's emotional response, and additionally contrast the exceptional and the abysmal in the life of Frederick Douglass.

eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch slices
1 1/2 tablespoons
8 tablespoons
olive oil
8 ounces
ricotta cheese
6 ounces
shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
egg, beaten
1/2 cup
chopped fresh basil
4 cups
pasta sauce
This recipe won out over the other Eggplant Parmesan recipes for me because of the addition of ricotta, which I love, and makes it like a delicious pasta-less lasagna. I made double the amount and had too much sauce (Best Marinara Sauce Yet, here at AllRecipes), which made it a little sloppy when serving, but nonetheless yummy. Everyone was happy that there was plenty of sauce to mop up with crusty bread! And hubby has asked that I make it again at the earliest available opportunity.
Degorging (ie salting) is done only to take away bitterness (not make eggplant tender as some reviewers believe), and it is not necessary when you have wonderful tight-skinned, fresh young eggplants. Degorging actually might contribute to the greasiness of the dish. (Drawing moisture from eggplants with salt makes the temperature of the oil drop too much when adding them to the pan, hence they absorb more oil.) I didn't degorge my eggplants, and used a non-stick pan with a smear of extra-virgin olive oil. Very little fat, and no bitterness.
I became very interested in this dish when I was searching for eggplant recipes. However, I quickly became frustrated when I began to fry the eggplant in olive oil. You see, eggplant mysteriously soaks up olive oil requiring me to add more and more and more and...you get the picture. The recipe should have called for a batter of some type to prevent the oil soaked soggy patties I ended up with.

My family loved this recipe. Her's how I made it: peeled the eggplant, sliced it, and salted it with sea salt. Let it sit in the colander for 4-6 hours, to sweat it out good. Rinsed the eggplant in water and dried on paper towels. Dipped slices in egg then italian bread crumbs then browned in skillet for about 2 minutes each side. I used Classico Tomato Basil sauce, therefore I didn't add as much basil, like the recipe calls for. For cheese I used a sm. tub of ricotta (15 oz) and a 8 oz bag mozzerella and a sm. bag parmesean. My husband loved all of the cheese and told me this one is a keeper.
This was wonderful and was a big hit. I made a few changes based on other reviewers suggestions. I sliced the eggplant about 1/4 inch thick and allowed it to sweat for about 2 hours. I also cut way down on the oil for frying the eggplant - just a smidge in a non-stick pan. I used my own homemade sauce. Although not difficult per se, there are quite a few steps to this recipe and I wanted it to be worth the time, so I made several smallish tins of it and froze them. They defrost great and are a wonderful and quick work-night treat! Thanks for sending this in - it will certainly become one of my regular dishes!
I cheated. I fried the eggplant after dipping it in milk and breadcrumbs. I coated the eggplant in a large plastic bag as one reviewer suggested, and that sure kept things from getting messy! What makes this a five-star for me was the addition of the ricotta cheese mixture. I spread all of that in a middle layer: Sauce, eggplant, mozzarella, parmesan, repeat, then the ricotta mixture, sauce eggplant, mozzarella, parmesan, repeat. Excellent! Thanks for having my guests declare that my eggplant parmesan was the best they had ever tasted (and I thought I had already conquered this dish)!
Excellent recipe – I breaded the eggplant slices and used cooking spray to brown them. Next time I'll try without the breading. The only other change I made was to leave out the egg from the ricotta mixture, since one person was allergic to eggs.
When assembling, instead of trying to smooth out the ricotta mixture, I just put a dollop on each eggplant round, then put another eggplant round right on top of that, then added another ricotta dollop. Instead of having an even casserole, I had 12 individual eggplant mounds that were easy and attractive to plate.
The best eggplant parmesan I've ever had. Next time I think I will double the ricotta mix. That will help use up the whole tub and will fill the cheese layers out more. Be sure to allow time for this to cool, as it will be soupy and hard to serve if you try to cut it directly after pulling it out of the oven.
Very good! I also rolled the eggplant pieces in italian breadcrumbs and then fried them. I made it for my family and they loved it. We ate almost the whole pan. It's a keeper!!

Creepy, skeezy, chintzy comic book publishing...
I was at a marketing seminar and saw something that just floored me.
I knew it was going to happen one day and it was inevitable. It's a new form of publishing comics online that is just so bottom feeder that it's lower than snakeshit in quicksand.
Can't fault the guys who are doing it because the opportunity is there and it is making them money.
Here's how it goes.
They're using public domain comic books. Yes, there are tens of thousands of them. Since they don't have to pay for rights they just snag up the comics from various website archives, do a little Photochopping to spruce them up and then publish them on Kindle or other ebook formats!
One guy claimed to have made $7k in a week with one book and he's doing more.
The public doesn't know these books are decades old and think they're buying new or hot stuff. Sure some of these comics haven't seen the light of day since before manned space flight but since no one renewed the copyrights they're public domain.
Could you possibly have needed anymore competition in the comics field?
Re: Creepy, skeezy, chintzy comic book publishing...
Re: Creepy, skeezy, chintzy comic book publishing...
Even ancient public domain comic book content can make you money and it's not work for hire.
Daily Z
Re: Creepy, skeezy, chintzy comic book publishing...
And it shows there's still demand for that content. And his profit margin increased because no one wanted to claim it...now, what if those artists kept their contents copyright and rereleased it themselves instead of letter vultures pick it up.
All I can say is someone saw the worth and it wasn't the artist...and someone got paid and....it wasn't the artist....
Going to work for Marvel or any other company that wants to perpetuate your worth being next to nothing is more creepy then this.

There used to be engines in Formula 1 called Coventry Climax, but for everyone at Albert Park it was anti-climax as Melbourne's weather put paid to the eagerly anticipated opening qualifying session of the 2013 season.
While the first 20-minute segment of the one-hour qualifying period did take place, race officials eventually decided it was too wet and dark to risk any further running on a rain-soaked track and the second and third segments will now take place – weather permitting – at 11am on Sunday.
As the 22 drivers climbed into their cars for the scheduled 5pm start, heavy rain swept across the parkland circuit and delayed it by 10 minutes… then 10 more… and another 10.
When Q1 got under way at 5.30pm Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes was the first car to go off, the Englishman desperately seeking reverse gear to get the car moving again after it was grounded on the exit of Turn 2.
Felipe Massa's Ferrari had its front wing knocked off on contact with the barriers when he was flicked into a spin at Turn 12, and Australian favourite Mark Webber had to wrestle his Red Bull Renault back on track after an off on his first flying lap.
One man's meat is another man's poison, they say, and when the rain briefly eased a brave decision by Jenson Button to switch to Pirelli's green-walled Intermediate tyres paid instant dividends as the red and silver car, struggling in the dry on Friday, immediately went top.
The litany of minor disasters continued: Charles Pic's Caterham hit the wall, rookie teammate Giedo van der Garde had several off-track moments, and the 20-minute session ended with Esteban Gutierrez's Sauber Mercedes stopped in the middle of the track after wiping its nose structure off against a barrier.
At that stage the six men eliminated were Williams Renault's Pastor Maldonado, Gutierrez, Marussia Cosworth pair Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton, and the Caterham duo Bianchi and Pic. Valtteri Bottas was the only one of the five rookie drivers to steer his way into Q2 in the other Williams.
While Pic's time was outside the 107% mark against Nico Rosberg's eventual session-topping best, the stewards have the discretion to allow him into the race as he has already achieved the requisite time in the dry free practice sessions.
Six of the remaining 16 drivers will be eliminated in the 15-minute Q2 segment and the 10-minute Q1 segment will see the remaining 10 fight it out for pole position.

Basically, if your class is a learning experience, people will come and pay attention. The classes with attendance issues are the ones where the students feel like they are wasting their life attending. Thats my experience anyway.
I took Gen Psych a few years back. The professor was excellent. Very interesting. I didnt miss a single class that entire semester and not many people missed more than 1 or 2. I dont think he even had an attendance policy. On the other hand, you have some professors that just recite the textbook to you word for word and make you seriously wonder why you didnt just stay home and read the chapter yourself.

That's a pretty suspect reason for giving zero points, especially to an otherwise A student.

Published: 22 October 2012
easyJet, Northern Ireland's largest airline, today launched its new service from Belfast International Airport to Birmingham. The route increases the airline's destinations from Belfast International to 23 – the highest number of routes it has operated from the airport.
From Monday 29 October there will be two daily flights from Monday-Friday and one on Saturday and Sunday.
On weekdays from 29 October the departure times will be 07:10 and 17:50. The Saturday flight will depart at 07:10 and the Sunday flight at 16:30.
Flights are now on sale at easyJet.com, with fares from £27.49 one-way including taxes.
Northern Ireland's Transport Minister Danny Kennedy MLA was at the launch and welcomed the new route. He said:
"This will undoubtedly enhance access between Northern Ireland and the Midlands and I am pleased that easyJet is increasing the choice for consumers."
Ali Gayward, easyJet commercial manager, said: "This new route has been driven by customer demand and we are delighted to launch an easy and affordable option of travel from Belfast to the city of Birmingham.
"Our flights to Birmingham will be year-round. We will be flying at peak times to meet the needs of our business passengers and the fares will also offer leisure passengers affordable access to the Midlands."
It takes no time at all to travel from the Airport to Birmingham International railway station, using the SkyRail train service that operates every two minutes.
Birmingham International station offers direct access to business centres throughout the region. Travellers wishing to go into the centre of Birmingham will be able to do so easily with a 10-15 minute rail journey to Birmingham New Street station.
Ali Gayward added: "There are a host of attractions in and around Birmingham, from the National Motorcycle Museum, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Premier League football, to major events at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre), and Christmas fairs.
"Birmingham also offers leisure travellers access to many attractions. For example, Shakespeare Country, including his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, is conveniently close to Birmingham Airport."
John Doran, managing director of Belfast International Airport, said: "Birmingham was an obvious gap on the departure boards at Belfast International Airport and we are delighted that easyJet is able to reaffirm their commitment to the region with the launch of this new route.
"Strong business connections exist in the computer technology, engineering and hospitality sectors, to name but a few, and of course the West Midlands is home to such high-profile companies as Cadbury.

text: Antonis Fotsis turned 32 last April and, unavoidably, has lost some of the explosiveness and athletic ability that characterised his game in years past, but is in turn more experienced than ever and still the leader of men he has been since he first pulled on a Greek jersey, 16 years ago, at the European Championship for Cadets. He had a discreet past season at Milano but Panathinaikos valued these timeless qualities and will bring him back to Athens for a record-fourth spell at the club after EuroBasket. Fotsis will probably not be Greece's leading scorer in Slovenia, but his shooting remains as accurate as ever and his role will be to provide a reliable option at the '4' spot as he makes the most of his height advantage over most power forwards in the tournament.

Paramount Sofa
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
The Paramount Sofa is the kind of furniture that you'd expect to see Marilyn Monroe lounging on, book in her hand with her eyes dreamily half-shut. Mid-century style, modern materials, and Blu Dot's build quality combine to make this modern sofa a find worth featuring. Choose from attractive neutral upholstery; all cushions are loose.
What's To Like:
Modern lines, unique style. The Paramount Sofa is a large, striking piece with crisp straight lines and tufted seat cushions that accent its loose-cushioned back.
What's Not to Like:

Family gathers at site of fatal structure collapse
Jared Kellner died after being struck by concrete slab
Dawn Kellner sat on a curb Tuesday morning just a few feet from the parking garage where her 15-year-old son died last week, her sister's arm draped across her shoulders.
Kellner had not gone to the garage since her son, Jared, was killed Thursday by a 13 1/2 -ton concrete slab that fell from the structure's façade while he was walking to Summerfest with a friend and his friend's parents.
The pain of her visit was etched on her tear-streaked face a few moments after she walked away from the garage, when she talked with reporters about her son.
"I wanted you to know the person that Jared was, so it was very important to me that we came here today," Kellner said while several relatives stood at her side.
Jared Kellner "always wished the world was a kinder place," his mother said. "Today I'm just asking that people take time out to honor the memory of Jared by just being a little bit nicer today, and a little bit more accepting of everybody else, because that would make his dream come true."
Kellner, a Greenfield resident, was walking out of the garage below O'Donnell Park when the slab fell at least seven feet, killing him and injuring his friend and his friend's mother.
Kellner had just finished his freshman year at Whitnall High School, where he played the trumpet and the marimba.
Construction workers preparing to remove part of the garage Tuesday temporarily stopped their work and walked away from the scene when Kellner's family arrived.
Kellner's uncle, Tom Stanislawski, thanked Kellner's friends and the community at large for the support the family has received since Kellner's death.
"Their stories and memories of Jared have brought us comfort and are proof that Jared will live on in so many people," Stanislawski said of Kellner's friends.
After Kellner's family left the garage Tuesday, workers continued removing a 30-foot section of the garage that held up the panel that fell on Kellner.
The section will be examined at the County Grounds in Wauwatosa.
A cause of the panel's collapse has not yet been determined. The garage will remain closed until engineers have finished inspecting the structure, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman said. The Betty Brinn Children's Museum near the garage was closed Friday but has reopened. Coast restaurant, also near the garage, is also open.
Kellner's uncle said his family wants to know why the slab fell, but they also are grappling with the fact that no amount of information about the incident will ease their sorrow.
"I guess it's important for all of us to know what caused (the collapse), but . . . still, Jared's not here," Stanislawski said.
Summerfest will pay for Kellner's funeral expenses, according to Summerfest officials and an attorney representing Kellner's mother. Kellner's funeral is scheduled for Thursday.
Before Summerfest offered to pay for the funeral, Kellner's family had established a fund to help pay for the costs associated with his death. Donations can still be made at any Associated Bank branch or sent to Jared Kellner Memorial Fund, in care of Associated Bank, 10701 W. National Ave., West Allis, WI 53227.
A portion of the money contributed to the memorial fund will be sent to the nonprofit organization To Write Love On Her Arms, which helps people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide, Kellner's family said.
The organization "was very close to Jared's heart," his uncle said.
"Jared was never afraid to be who he was and was accepting of the uniqueness of others," Stanislawski said. "Jared wanted others to know that they are important, and that every life matters."
