Temporary Extension of Transaction Account Coverage Has Widespread Support as Congress Considers Extension
Fate of $1.5 Trillion in TAG Deposits with Congress
Washington, D.C. (December 7, 2012)–With Congress considering whether to extend full Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) is reminding lawmakers of the more than 100 organizations advocating an extension. A variety of groups representing banks, credit unions, small businesses, regulators and farmers have joined ICBA in advocating for a temporary extension of the Transaction Account Guarantee program, which is scheduled to expire on Dec. 31 unless Congress acts.
"The overwhelming support for extending the TAG program is a testament to the stabilizing force this deposit coverage has been for the financial system and economy as a whole," ICBA President and CEO Camden R. Fine said. "If Congress fails to extend this critical program before its Dec. 31 deadline, nearly $1.5 trillion in TAG deposits would become abruptly uninsured overnight. This will be a destabilizing blow to Main Street financial institutions and the communities they serve."
Support for a temporary extension of TAG coverage has come from notable financial and business groups as well as the regulatory community, retail and farm groups, and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, the National Association of State Treasurers and the Agricultural Retailers Association.

John Mayer – Battle Studies (2009)February 4, 2010
Battle Studies is John Mayer's 4th studio album that was released November 17, 2009. When John Mayer first announced the title of his new album at a live show in June of 2009, he said "The album is called Battle Studies and that's because it incorporates a lot of the lessons, a lot of the observations, and a little bit of advice. Like a handbook, like a heartbreak handbook." Twitter was Mayer's main place where he advertised the new album. He gave out track listings and link to songs. Some of the hits on the album include "Who Says" and "Heartbreak Warfare". As quoted before, the album is filled with sad break up songs. The album is filled with sad, heartfilled but absolutely wonderful lyrics. Each song contains the origional John Mayer style along with the catchy rhythm of the rhythm section. When the album was first released, it reach the #1 place on the Billboard 200 Chart, selling 286,000 copies within it's first week of being on the market. Of those 286,000 copies, I contain 1 of them. It also had a huge it in the iTune Store, ranking up to the 4th place in top album sales. Not all of his songs on the album are origional, he does a cover of the Cream song "Crossroads" and if you order the album off of the itunes store, you recieve the Bruce Springstein cover of "I"m On Fire". He also does a song called "Half of My Heart" featuring the ever talented Taylor Swift. This is by far my favorite album of John Mayer's and I would have to give the album a 5/5 star rating. -Dylan

Pedrito Zequeida (SoCal) Trains with Atalante
Last Updated on Monday, 02 April 2012 09:50
So Cal Rush product Pedrito Zequeida has been in Cancún, Mexico training with Atlante from the Mexican First Division League. He is under the supervision of Jorge Campos (former Mexican National Team GK - pictured), and making good progress along the ranks as he looks to secure a spot with the first team. Pedrito played this past season under Boys Director of Coaching Lucas Kim with the B93 U19 team in the Top Flight of the new SCDSL. He was a crucial member and key component to the very successful B93 team that won State Cup, Regionals, and placed Finalists at Nationals in Murfreesboro, TN back in 2010; as well as the State Cup Finalists spot in 2011. Given his experience and talent, it was easy for coach Lucas to assign Pedrito as the Club's GK Trainer this past year.
Here are some words from Pedrito:
"Right now it seems like I've taken the starter's spot, I was told by the TD this Saturday that he wanted me from his scouting , and I play a scrimmage Thursday, I'll be starting in the Fuerzas Basicas of Acapulco. We train every day 3 hours a day, well I train 4 hours, goalkeepers have to be there an hour before for personal training. We are getting our stadium built, we have one very small facility right now. I train at the Jorge Campos soccer fields here across the street from the beach. In August the first divison team for Mexican Soccer League will be getting their players so I'm trying really hard to get a spot on the team and hopefully be the goalkeeper that has the 1 on his back =)"
From the Rush Family we wish Pedrito the best of luck!

Preview | RecapJames, Harrison and Epps place first at Appalachian Invitational
Monday, December 06, 2010
BOONE, N.C. (Dec. 5, 2010) - The ETSU men's and women's track and field teams had a strong showing at the Appalachian Invitational in Boone, N.C. as 15 Buccaneers posted top three performances this weekend.
"Overall we had some mixed results in this first meet," said assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "Some kids did a great job, while some of the freshmen are getting adjusted to collegiate track and field. This meet has also been a good measuring stick for some of our athletes as they are now recognizing the work ahead of them going into Christmas break."
The Bucs had a strong showing in the sprints as Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) finished first in the men's 55m hurdles posting a time of 7.52, while Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C) ran a personal-best in the women's 55m coming in first with a time of 7.10.
In the women's 200m, Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.) and Harrison both posted top three times as Ingram finished second with a lifetime best of 24.92. Harrison was third in the 200m with a time of 25.16. Ingram placed second in the women's 400m after running a time of 56.39. Sophomore Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) also posted a personal record in the men's 400m as he clocked the third best time of the day at 49.79.
Junior Caitlyn Epps (Cookeville, Tenn.) finished first in the women's 3000m after posting a personal-best time of 10:50.32.
"The fact that we were able to place so many different events in the top of the results shows that our approach to developing a total track and field team is coming together," Sunquist added. "We aren't there yet, but we are in a great place heading into the indoor season. The entire staff and team is looking forward to coming back in January to continue these good results."
ETSU saw Ben Ronoh (Sotik, Kenya) and Landon Milhorn (The Woodlands, Texas) finish 2-3 in the men's mile. Ronoh came in at 4:26.95, while Milhorn clocked a time of 4:27.55.
In the relays, the ETSU men's team posted the second best time of the day as Jeremiah Foster, Zarkeed Reeves (Riverdale, Ga.), James and O'Dell were edged out by .16 of a second in the men's 4x400m relay by Western Carolina after running a time of 3:18.96. On the women's side, Hannah Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Harrison, Ashton Bishop (Gate City, Va.) and Ingram combined to finish third in the women's 4x400m relay posting a time of 3:59.56.
Senior Jarrod Burton (Bastian, Va.) had a good showing in the throws as he finished second in both the shot put (52-7 �) and the weight throw (60-3). Taylor Story (Germantown, Tenn.) placed third in the women's high jump after a lifetime best mark of 5-5 3/4, and Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) finished third in the men's long jump as he posted a mark of 22-11 �.
The Bucs return to action in the spring as they will head to Blacksburg, Va. to complete in the Virginia Tech Invitational on Jan. 14-15. For more information on Buccaneer track and field, visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

What Research Is Being Done?
Current research focuses on many different aspects of dementia. This research promises to improve the lives of people affected by the dementias and may eventually lead to ways of preventing or curing these disorders.
Causes and prevention
Research on the causes of AD and other dementias includes studies of genetic factors, neurotransmitters, inflammation, factors that influence programmed cell death in the brain, and the roles of tau, beta amyloid, and the associated neurofibrillary tangles and plaques in AD. Some other researchers are trying to determine the possible roles of cholesterol metabolism, oxidative stress (chemical reactions that can damage proteins, DNA, and lipids inside cells), and microglia in the development of AD. Scientists also are investigating the role of aging-related proteins such as the enzyme telomerase.
Since many dementias and other neurodegenerative diseases have been linked to abnormal clumps of proteins in cells, researchers are trying to learn how these clumps develop, how they affect cells, and how the clumping can be prevented.
Some studies are examining whether changes in white matter - nerve fibers lined with myelin - may play a role in the onset of AD. Myelin may erode in AD patients before other changes occur. This may be due to a problem with oligodendrocytes, the cells that produce myelin.
Researchers are searching for additional genes that may contribute to AD, and they have identified a number of gene regions that may be involved. Some researchers suggest that people will eventually be screened for a number of genes that contribute to AD and that they will be able to receive treatments that specifically address their individual genetic risks. However, such individualized screening and treatment is still years away.
Insulin resistance is common in people with AD, but it is not clear whether the insulin resistance contributes to the development of the disease or if it is merely a side effect.
Several studies have found a reduced risk of dementia in people who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins. However, it is not yet clear if the apparent effect is due to the drugs or to other factors.
Early studies of estrogen suggested that it might help prevent AD in older women. However, a clinical study of several thousand postmenopausal women aged 65 or older found that combination therapy with estrogen and progestin substantially increased the risk of AD. Estrogen alone also appeared to slightly increase the risk of dementia in this study.
A 2003 study found that people with HIV-associated dementia have different levels of activity for more than 30 different proteins, compared to people who have HIV but no signs of dementia. The study suggests a possible way to screen HIV patients for the first signs of cognitive impairment, and it may lead to ways of intervening to prevent this form of dementia.
Improving early diagnosis of AD and other types of dementia is important not only for patients and families, but also for researchers who seek to better understand the causes of dementing diseases and find ways to reverse or halt them at early stages. Improved diagnosis can also reduce the risk that people will receive inappropriate treatments.
Some researchers are investigating whether three-dimensional computer models of PET and MRI images can identify brain changes typical of early AD, before any symptoms appear. This research may lead to ways of preventing the symptoms of the disease.
One study found that levels of beta amyloid and tau in spinal fluid can be used to diagnose AD with a sensitivity of 92 percent. If other studies confirm the validity of this test, it may allow doctors to identify people who are beginning to develop the disorder before they start to show symptoms. This would allow treatment at very early stages of the disorder, and may help in testing new treatments to prevent or delay symptoms of the disease. Other researchers have identified factors in the skin and blood of AD patients that are different from those in healthy people. They are trying to determine if these factors can be used to diagnose the disease.
Researchers are continually working to develop new drugs for AD and other types of dementia. Many researchers believe a vaccine that reduces the number of amyloid plaques in the brain might ultimately prove to be the most effective treatment for AD. In 2001, researchers began one clinical trial of a vaccine called AN-1792. The study was halted after a number of people developed inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Despite these problems, one patient appeared to have reduced numbers of amyloid plaques in the brain. Other patients showed little or no cognitive decline during the course of the study, suggesting that the vaccine may slow or halt the disease. Researchers are now trying to find safer and more effective vaccines for AD.
Researchers are also investigating possible methods of gene therapy for AD. In one case, researchers used cells genetically engineered to produce nerve growth factor and transplanted them into monkeys' forebrains. The transplanted cells boosted the amount of nerve growth factors in the brain and seemed to prevent degeneration of acetylcholine-producing neurons in the animals. This suggests that gene therapy might help to reduce or delay symptoms of the disease. Researchers are now testing a similar therapy in a small number of patients. Other researchers have experimented with gene therapy that adds a gene called neprilysin in a mouse model that produces human beta amyloid. They found that increasing the level of neprilysin greatly reduced the amount of beta amyloid in the mice and halted the amyloid-related brain degeneration. They are now trying to determine whether neprilysin gene therapy can improve cognition in mice.
A clinical trial called the Vitamins to Slow Alzheimer's Disease (VITAL) study is testing whether high doses of three common B vitamins - folic acid, B12, and B6 - can reduce homocysteine levels and slow the rate of cognitive decline in AD.
Since many studies have found evidence of brain inflammation in AD, some researchers have proposed that drugs that control inflammation, such as NSAIDs, might prevent the disease or slow its progression. Studies in mice have suggested that these drugs can limit production of amyloid plaques in the brain. Early studies of these drugs in humans have shown promising results. However, a large NIH-funded clinical trial of two NSAIDS (naproxen and celecoxib) to prevent AD was stopped in late 2004 because of an increase in stroke and heart attack in people taking naproxen, and an unrelated study that linked celecoxib to an increased risk of heart attack.
Some studies have suggested that two drugs, pentoxifylline and propentofylline, may be useful in treating vascular dementia. Pentoxifylline improves blood flow, while propentofylline appears to interfere with some of the processes that cause cell death in the brain.
One study is testing the safety and effectiveness of donepezil (Aricept) for treating mild dementia in patients with Parkinson's dementia, while another is investigating whether skin patches with the drug selegiline can improve mental function in patients with cognitive problems related to HIV.

Yeah you guys were a model of self imposed team punishment in the Edwards deal, gimma an efin' break here.
Hardly an earth shattering punishment."He will dress, he will play, but he will not start," Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. Tannenbaum said coach Rex Ryan will determine when Edwards enters the game.
The one-time Pro Bowler was bleary-eyed and reeked of liquor when he was arrested shortly before sunrise Tuesday while driving with two teammates in his 2007 Range Rover.
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
Never mind. I just did some fact finding. We may have let Ronnie Brown play but was Sanchez drunk when he ran into Moore? :
Ha! Ha! MIAMI with a team of criminals whoda ever thunk that one??? Ha! Ha! Ha!
You are right, the Jets did sit Braylon for a couple of series after he was arrested for driving drunk and putting the lives of innocent people in jeopardy. You are right, Ronnie Brown was not suspended by the Dolphins for his DUI. While I think DUI's should be more punished in this country then they are, this was his first ever run in with law. Edwards had a criminal history prior to being with the Jets, with the Jets and even after he left the Jets. A couple of series on the bench is nothing for someone like him. Not sure what you are trying to argue here, the point is low level players get cut and good players don't. You seem to understand that and agree with it, so I am not sure why you are so curious to see what he will do if a key player gets arrested, because we already know what would happen.
A few things happened since you were away. Dolphins moved back into second place in the division with a huge win over the high flying Seahawks. NBC released a hilarious new comedy show on Thursday night. Usually the programming on NBC is not real funny, but I found myself laughing quite a bit. A lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

This pack features a pair of tapers and a pair of plugs... but wait! These aren't the real deal. They're simply regular-sized earrings that give the illusion you've stretched your ear holes. Genius! These faux tapers are solid black, and the faux plugs have a glittery skull on them.

Bob, I was always sorry I didn't take a drafting course in high school or college. I did end up taking one at a local JC, about 4 years AFTER I finished my (non-engineering) Batchelor's degree. Bunch of teenagers there, I was the oldest one in the class, felt like a dirty old man looking at girls. I had already left the job that suggested I take the class, but I finished anyway because I very quickly realized the benefits to understanding blueprints. I still can't draw worth a dam, but I can sketch pretty good.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....

If you would like to teach yourself to read and draw blueprints order the Popular Mechanics book, Titled "The Art of Mechanical Drawing" It will teach you to draw well enough to read any print out there and it was only about 10 bucks and a little investment of time. I didn't get the chance to do it in High School, but I have managed to go back and pick up a lot of the things I blew off as a stoner back in the 70's. Shoulda applied myself way back then, just had the wrong priorities back then.

here is the best of both worlds, my deceased pop,n,law, in his day was quite an engineer and a top notch draftsman, each day after work he would go to the shed, grab a rabbit, lop off its head, and cook er up for supper,
blueprint reading
Well I assume your in the welding fabricating business so I would ask a coworker or get with the shop foreman and go over some old prints I work with pipe isometrics on a daily basis I learned by asking the more experianced guys I don't think any book would help on its own just get a blue book a square a plumb bob and a pencil and soapstone and read your ISP make a cut list and go from there

Hey Luis,
A blueprint is usually nothing more than a front view (elevation) a side view (profile) and a top view...(plan) Since it is sometimes read around the world from where it's drawn, a bunch of other info and measurements are used to guarantee they'll be understood and the measurements will be the same. There are traditions to how you do those measurements (this is what you learn in drafting classes...but you can see the conventions if you just look at a lot of blueprints...)
Here's a link that helps understand how objects are divided up into blueprint views.
You do learn HOW to draw them and divide them up if you take a drafting class,
programs like Google Sketchup allow you to move around the views and see them in 3-d where as older guys like myself had to do the 3 views on drafting paper and imagine the object when it was done.... So it's a different learning curve and it's frankly a dying art. Someday soon there will be only 3-d forms that you can view in rendering programs...and you'll be able to print out the 3 views with no work at all.
I read a great book on how to quickly see things in your mind from blueprint view called RAPID VIZ and it showed how to think quickly and visualize quickly.
So you can start there.
Another way to learn is to take an object that is pretty regular, like a box or something, and draw a front, side, and top view of the thing and match the measurements to a scale...like if the box is 8 inches high you use 1/2 scale and draw it 4 inches high on the paper.
You can learn it and you'll find it's easy. Just a new skill
Good luck

I took a Welding & Blueprint reading course at my local adult education school. It was a 900 hour program with a day or two every week set aside just for blueprint reading. It was extremely helpful cause your working specifically with all the different welding symbols & lines & the different materials. In my mind unless its drafting for welders a drafting class is only a little helpful. If you dont know what the symbols mean your still pretty clueless.Miller Trailblazer 302

Comments On Jul 30, 2015:Bought this for my KTM 200. Read the instructions a few times and started the install. When I got to the part where you set the magnet I ran into a problem. Just resting the magnet on the rotor I was able to get the unit to read but spinning the wheel made the magnet hit the brake carrier. I was able to buy a smaller rare earth magnet and try that and worked like a charm. Haven't got to use it yet but set up and adjustments seem straightforward.

Comments On Jul 29, 2015:I was a little worried about the compatibility with the older bike I was installing it on but it works great. Easy to install with clear directions and it looks good. It has a lot of features for the price.

Comments On Jun 01, 2015:Fit was nice. Functions well. Handlebar mounting bkt looks like it may not last through my first several crashes. Mounting instructions not clear for all makes/models.

Comments On Mar 17, 2015:This product was easy to install and works great. Directions are simple to understand and the unit has been very helpful. Battery died a little too soon for me but was easily replaced.

Comments On Feb 06, 2015:Setup can be a little tricky. Getting the sensor mounted in the correct position so it aligns with the magnet took a little time. But once it was setup, it worked great! I did have a sensor wire issue, but Trail Tech sent me another one ASAP at no charge! They have great tech support and customer service.
The operation is very straightforward and and has performed perfectly!

Comments On Jan 28, 2015:Was looking for somehting to install on my wifes bike just to track speed and mileage since it didn't come with one. Install is relatively straight forward, a little sketchy drilling into the caliper but was really simple and works perfectly. The instructions could definitely be a bit more detailed because there are some parts included that you don't use. Otherwise, I like that it keeps the time on there, speedometer and odometer. Works great.

Comments On Jan 20, 2015:Have one of these on my new Beta and I liked it so much a buddy wanted me to order one for his Honda. Easy installation, good quality, and has a lot of useful multi functions.

Comments On Dec 02, 2014:Set up is easy, nice small size is more convenient then some of the larger options. Looks good, i also bought the billet case and mount which i would highly recommend over the plastic one that comes with.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 14, 2014:This thing is awesome. I was almost sold on the Voyager but didn't need the GPS feature. It was simple to install and with my KTM, no drilling in the disc brake was necessary. This unit does everything I need it to do. However, the triple-clamp mount was cheesy and bends easily. This is nice as on rides I can bend it to see it easily with the sun/lighting, but I'm nervous it will wear and break eventually. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Comments On Jun 23, 2014:This is a great way to keep track of your speed and hours/miles for maintenance. I did not use the mount that came with this speedometer so I cannot rate that but I did order the bar clamp and the aluminum housing that trail tech offers. Unfortunately I did have a slightly difficult time finding the right set up for my raptor but after contacting Trail Tech directly they were able to provide me with the correct mounting plate.

About 100 kindergarten students at the Kane Elementary School assemble on stage Friday afternoon at the Kane Middle School auditorium for the Christmas program. The students sang several Christmas songs.
The 4-year-old children in Mrs. Heckman's class finished this year with several special treats provided by the parents. One of the neatest treats was a Christmas tree treat made by Mrs. Payne, mother of Sydney Payne. The tree was made with cake balls. And each children got to eat their own little cake ball. Last month it was a turkey made from fruit! What creative parents these lucky children have.

HEAD Swimming's Channel swimmer Anna-Carin Nordin succeeded with another great accomplishment. On Thursday September 13, Anna-Carinswam the Tsugaru Channel from Honshuto Hokkaido in northern Japan, connecting the Sea of Japan with the Pacific Ocean.
The distance of 34 km took 19 hours and 11 minutes of non- stop swimming to complete.
Anna-Carin describedthe Tsugaru Channel swim as the toughest so far.
Extraordinarily strong currents pushed her out of track and led to a longer swim distance. Another difficulty was big school of Jellyfish that stung her body badly.
With this great accomplishmentAnna-Carin climbed up to number 3 on the Oceans Seven list and is now heading to become the first woman to complete all seven channel swims around the world. She has now completed the English Channel,the Catalina Channel, Gibraltar Strait, Molokai Channel and Tsugaru Channel. North Channel between Scotland and Ireland is scheduled for next year and the final channel, Cook Strait, is planned for 2014.
Anna-Carin used thenew HEADUltimate goggle and the Photon swim suit. The swim was performed without wetsuit, as required for channel swim records.

They called him "The Dean." He was the oracle of the idols of the American Songbook. A teenage George Gershwin, listening to the band at his aunt's wedding, heard Jerome Kern's music for the first time and stopped dead as his whole world changed. Because Kern, it can be argued, invented the American Songbook. Or at the very least, in the early part of the 20th century, when "musicals" mostly meant imported European operetta, Kern evolved a new sound—a fresh, melodically sophisticated, uniquely American sound; the sound of American popular music as it would rule until the arrival of rock and roll. He penned some 700 songs, including numerous standards, from "All the Things You Are" to "Bill." Along the way, he revolutionized the American musical theatre not once but twice.
Jerome David Kern was born January 27, 1885 (three years before Irving Berlin, 13 before George Gershwin). Unlike many pioneers of the American Songbook, Kern didn't grow up the stickball-playing child of struggling immigrants. He was raised in middle class comfort on the Upper East Side and in Newark, NJ, the son of Henry Kern, a German-born businessman, and American Fanny Kakeles Kern, who taught him the piano. He was one of seven boys—only three of whom survived childhood. "Romie" studied music in New York and Heidelberg. Along with contributing early songs to London shows, he made his name writing new songs for British exports to Broadway.
Throughout his career, Kern almost always conceived his work as part of a larger musical project and rarely set out to write a pop song for its own sake. ("The Last Time I Saw Paris" is an exception.) He wrote by immersing himself in circumstance and character; he famously referred to himself as "a musical clothier—nothing more or less."
With librettist Guy Bolton and lyricist P. G. Wodehouse, his revolutionary approach for a series of low-budget WWI-era shows for the Princess Theatre electrified Broadway and a generation of youths, including Richard Rodgers, E. Y. "Yip" Harburg, George and Ira Gershwin, and others who saw reigning Ruritanian operetta and Ziegfeld-esque extravaganza replaced by modern, smart, naturalistic melding of story and song, and the jazz-flavored beginnings of the classic Broadway show tune. By 1927, audiences saw Kern's vision (in collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein, II) of Edna Ferber's novel Show Boat as a serious-themed powerhouse of Broadway storytelling—paving the way for everything from the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon to Fiddler on the Roof and Next to Normal.
A personality of wild paradoxes (austere, but a rabid practical joker; a lavish collector of rare books and antiques, but penny pinching in business), he spent his later years in Hollywood with collaborators like Dorothy Fields (Swing Time, winning an Oscar for "The Way You Look Tonight") and Ira Gershwin (Cover Girl). Earlier collaborators had included Anne Caldwell and Otto Harbach. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1946, at age 60, while in New York. He was outlining (with Dorothy Fields) a new musical about Annie Oakley, to star Ethel Merman.

Mark Waldrop returns to 92Y to direct his eighth Lyrics & Lyricists production. Last season he made his debut as artistic director in a battle of musical wits between Noël Coward and Cole Porter. On Broadway Mark directed and provided special material for Bea Arthur on Broadway: Just Between Friends, which earned a Tony Award nomination for unique theatrical event. He similarly directed and wrote material for Bette Midler on her Divine Miss Millennium tour, and he has directed cabaret and concert performances for Faith Prince, Sutton Foster, Brooke Shields, Rebecca Luker, John Lloyd Young and Edward Hibbert, among many others.
Off-Broadway, Mark's directorial credits include the New York City Center Encores! production of Ziegfeld Follies of 1936; the 2012 and previous editions of Newsical: the Musical; Game Show; Pete 'n' Keely and Listen to My Heart.

Regionally, Mark has worked for leading venues like Paper Mill Playhouse, The Muny at St. Louis, Houston's Theatre Under the Stars and Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre.
In 1995 Mark received the prestigious Edward Kleban Award for lyricists. Among his writing credits are the lyrics and script for Radio City Music Hall's 75th Anniversary Christmas Spectacular and the lyrics for three TheaterWorks USA scores: Gold Rush, A Christmas Carol and Bunnicula. As an actor, Mark was in the original Broadway casts of Evita, La Cage aux Folles and The Grand Tour. He can be heard on the soundtracks of Disney's Aladdin, Pocahontas and Mulan, and on the cast recording of Hey, Love.
One of America's foremost jazz vocalists, Karrin Allyson makes her Lyrics & Lyricists debut in "Jerome Kern Coast to Coast." An extraordinarily versatile musician, Karrin earned a degree in classical piano before turning to jazz. She moves with ease and authority from bossa nova to French chansons, bebop to the blues, and ballads to pop.
Karrin plays the major jazz festivals, concert venues and clubs of the US, and she makes repeated tours overseas to Europe, Brazil, Japan and Australia.

It's the year of the cicadas. Soon these dormant pests will emerge from their holes in the ground to start making their annoying mating sounds. Then, once they've mated, they'll disappear back into their holes, leaving only their body shells behind.
It's also the kickoff year for Maryland's next elections. Soon these dormant politicians will emerge from their holes in the ground to start making their annoying campaign pitches. Then, once they've been elected, they'll disappear back into their holes, leaving only their lawn signs behind.
This election is a so-called "watershed" year because the governor's seat is vacant. The term-limited incumbent, Martin O'Malley, is busy waging his quixotic run for the U.S. presidency.
A vacant top spot ignites a game of "musical chairs" as the next level of elected officials battle for succession, which creates even more vacancies and even more contests down the food chain. Finally, when the music stops on Election Day, some candidates will be safely seated and some will be left standing, out of a job.
So, as the contenders come to the starting gate, let's handicap the Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls while mindful that next year's primary is largely about race and place — about racial and regional rivalries and balance.
Anthony Brown
Lt. Gov. Brown kicked off his bid for the top spot last week. He has a solid gold resume (Harvard twice over, Iraq war vet, state legislature, etc.) and he's African-American (ok, Jamaican-American) in a state where blacks can be up to 35 percent of the primary vote.
But his path to the governor's mansion has some land mines: as O'Malley's understudy he prepped Maryland for Obamacare. But what if Obamacare implodes next year as many experts predict? Brown also must overcome "O'Malley fatigue" and the lieutenant governorship's Bermuda Triangle reputation for never-seen-again voyages to the governorship. Sure, Brown appears to be the party establishment's favorite, but is that a plus or a minus to Maryland's overtaxed, underwhelmed voters in 2014?
Apparently Brown's strategy is to build a leftist coalition of blacks, guilty white liberals and remnants of the O'Malley machine echoing both O'Malley and Obama.
His kickoff speech used every O'Malley buzz word: " No. 1 schools, tuition freeze, tough choices (taxes), wise investments (spending), moving forward, jobs." Brown did everything but play Irish ballads on the guitar.
Meanwhile, he's pitching Obama's redistribution of wealth. He'll make life "better for more Marylanders" by "closing disparities in health, wealth, education, etc."
Who will pay for all this? The rich (which in Maryland means incomes over $100,000). And who will benefit? All those lower-income minorities whose votes Brown covets? And just in case minority voters miss the racial pitch, Brown's campaign colors are, you guessed it, brown.
Brown says his campaign is "more about results than race," but it's really more about race than results.
Can Brown, who's never run a campaign, has little money and, so far, hasn't swayed fellow black officials, really get minorities to vote on a June 24 primary without Obama heading the ticket?
Doug Gansler
Maryland's attorney general isn't stuck with the O'Malley legacy and, consequently, is running a centrist campaign ceding most of the black vote to Brown.
Gansler is a savvy, ambitious politician who backed Obama and gay marriage long before either was popular. So, he's inoculated with liberals, can possibly keep Obama from campaigning for Brown (who backed Hillary in 2008) and is free to oppose the death penalty, the gas tax and Maryland's anti-business reputation (O'Malley/Brown liabilities).
In other words, Gansler's running on Peter Franchot's platform if Franchot had stayed in the governor's race.
Nor is Gansler above a little demagoguery. When the Supreme Court upheld the Westboro slimeballs' free speech right to protest near military funerals, Maryland's attorney general grandstanded against the First Amendment. Disgusting.
Few political insiders like Gansler, but no one liked Parris Glendening, either, and he became a two-term governor. And, like Glendening, Gansler is a prolific fundraiser and relentless campaigner who has successfully run and won four state and local campaigns.
Ken Ulman
The young, term-limited Howard County executive is considering the No. 2 spot on Brown's ticket. Message to Ulman: Once a gubernatorial candidate considers the No. 2 spot, he ceases being a gubernatorial candidate.
Heather Mizeur
If this House of Delegates member wins her long-shot bid she'll be a "three-for": Maryland's first woman governor, first lesbian governor and first elected governor from Montgomery County. But most handicappers simply wonder whose votes she'll drain and whether Maryland's other gay politicians will grudgingly support her.
Next week: The Republicans, the other statewide offices and how race and place play out.

Sanmdler, Tartakovsky Check In to Sony's 'Hotel Transylvania'
July 5, 2011 by Thomas J. McLean
Adam Sandler will voice the lead role of Dracula in Hotel Transylvania, a 3D animated feature film directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and due for release from Sony Pictures Animation on Sept. 21, 2012.
Here's how the studio describes the feature:
Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
Also lending their voices to the project are Kevin James as Frank (a.k.a. Frankenstein); Fran Drescher as the bride, Eunice; David Spade as Quasimodo; Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon as married werewolves Wayne and Wanda; Cee Lo Green as the mummy Murray; and Andy Samberg as Jonathan, a 21-year-old regular guy who becomes a guest at the hotel.
Tartakovsky is best known for his work creating such hit animated series as Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. He also recently did conceptual work and storyboards on Iron Man 2 and designed the prologue for the movie Priest.
Michelle Murdocca is producing the film, with all the animation by Sony Pictures Animation.
Re: Sony's 'Hotel Transylvania' coming September 21 2012
I remember seeing an early poster for this at the CTN Expo back in 2009(at the Sony booth). The story kind of sounds like an update of "Mad Monster Pary", doesn't it? Looking forward to seeing what the characters look like.
Re: Sony's 'Hotel Transylvania' coming September 21 2012
Animation Magazine came through again on Sony's Hotel Transylvania by publishing some early character designs of Dracula.
Here's the article, authored by Mercedes Milligan who is a very talentaed character designer in her own right and whom I'm proud to say was my student at The Animation Academy when she was a teenager.
A Halloween Treat From 'Transylvania'
October 31, 2011 by Mercedes Milligan
Sony Pictures Animation has a tasty morsel for the toon town kiddies in honor of Halloween: The first character designs for Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler), star of their upcoming CG animated feature Hotel Transylvania.
Due out Sept. 12, 2012, the flick focuses on Dracula who runs a lavish resort hotel for famous monsters and their families to get away from the wearisome human world. But when his adventurous daughter falls for a mortal boy, the Prince of Darkness may have bitten off more than he can chew (err, suck?). Kevin James, Fran Drescher, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, Cee Lo Green and Andy Samberg also star in this spooktacular film which is directed by toon legend Genndy Tartakovsky (Sym-Bionic Titan, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack).

Sneak peek: Sandler's animated 'Hotel Transylvania'
By Bryan Alexander, USA TODAY
March 17, 2012
Adam Sandler has turned undead.
The Grown Ups star gives voice to Dracula and his famous fangs as he stars in the animated comedy Hotel Transylvania, opening Sept. 28.
"It's refreshing to go back to the beginning of Dracula — and then have Adam Sandler put his spin on it," says director Genndy Tartakovsky. "There will be no sparkling skin. But there are a lot of jokes."
The jokes come thanks to Sandler's pals who join him on the project —Grown Ups alums Kevin James (Frankenstein) and David Spade (Griffin the Invisible Man). They join a monster team of voice actors that includes Steve Buscemi (Wayne the Werewolf), Molly Shannon (Wanda the Werewolf) and Cee Lo Green (Murray the Mummy).
The monsters assemble at Dracula's undead-friendly resort, Hotel Transylvania, for the coming-of-age birthday of his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez), who is turning 118. In the vampire world, that signals the time to break out from the sanctuary.
"The motto of Hotel Transylvania is that it has been human-free since 1898," says Tartakovsky. "This is a place that all his friends can come without being persecuted by humans. They are just trying to live their own lives.''
But all that changes when backpacker Johnny (Andy Samberg) discovers the place and falls for Mavis. Dracula disguises Johnny as just another partying monster, called Johnnystein, and then tries to sneak him out to avoid alarming the guests.
"They stumble upon a female skeleton taking a shower as they try to get out," Tartakovsky says. "Dracula is really apologetic."
Producer Michelle Murdocca says Sandler was attracted to the project as the father of daughters Sadie, 5, and Sunny, 3. "It's a story of an undead dad who is overprotective, and Adam can relate to that. Even now, he's right in the thick of it."
It was also monstrous fun to see Sandler work with his comedian friends, says the director. Tartakovsky encouraged the stars to do their voice work together.
"I said we need that chemistry to show these monsters are a family," Tartakovsky says. "When those guys were together in a room, it was just an explosion of energy."
