Lillie's Q to reopen mid-June
Thu May 16 2013

After a fire shuttered this much-loved barbecue spot, Lillie's Q announced today that it will be rising from the ashes sometime this June. The Wicker Park restaurant (which won Best New Barbecue in the 2011 Eat Out Awards) was forced to close after the hot-water heater in its basement malfunctioned, causing fire and smoke damage, on March 14 of this year; the new French Market location has been operating with a very limited menu as a result. As he works to rebuild the restaurant, chef/owner Charlie McKenna is also heading down to Memphis this weekend to compete in the annual Memphis in May barbecue competition, where he's entered the whole pork-shoulder category, in which he took home first place in 2007. "We're hoping to put together a really amazing finish at Memphis In May this weekend, and ride that wave right into getting the Bucktown location of Lillie's Q open," McKenna said in the press release.

Event type
Employee buy-in equals success. This creative product launch delivered employee engagement for a new product at a new level.
Creating an event that's one to remember is not an easy task. With this product launch we focused on connecting the message throughout the days as well as delivering two main highlights that will stick with the attendees throughout the years.
We showed our guests that they can challenge the norm and think of things from a different perspective. Which is why we did anything but the ordinary, from the way they entered the plenary, (being blindfolded, asked to trust their senses and each other whilst being led down an experience), to the way they had their coffee break (on a boat being able to experience the spectacular Rhine region), together we did something different.
For the gala dinner we went back to basics, with a summer's evening in the garden, where we transformed a field within a vineyard into the perfect spot for a BBQ and live music. Why? Because we all came together as colleagues and friends – united for a common goal. Success.
We didn't end it there, but topped it off with a nationwide celebrity to turn a launch into a living, breathing example of motivation. This sales-focused launch gave us all food for thought to become stronger by challenging the norm and pushing ourselves further in the year to come.

Urbana imposes rules for Unofficial
URBANA — The city of Urbana is home to far fewer campus bars than Champaign, but Mayor Laurel Prussing is making the rules similar on both sides of Wright Street during Unofficial St. Patrick's Day.
The special rules she ordered under her authority as the city's liquor commissioner for March 2 will apply in reality to only one bar: The Canopy Club at 708 S. Goodwin Ave.
The bar will not be allowed to serve liquor before 11 a.m. March 2, and it will not be able to host any special events or serve alcohol as undiluted shots or in pitchers. Drinks may not be served in glass or metal containers, according to the mayor's order.
Police Chief Patrick Connolly is ordering that the bar not allow entry to anyone under age 21 on March 2 through the early morning hours of March 3. Typically, customers as young as 18 may be allowed entry at The Canopy Club.
The rules are similar to those Prussing ordered last year, and they closely mirror those issued last week by Champaign Mayor Don Gerard. Orders in Champaign, however, will be in effect for two days on March 2 and 3, and the Champaign mayor has put restrictions on package liquor stores, too.
Prussing pointed out that Champaign has chosen to allow shots of undiluted alcohol this year and allow bars to open one hour earlier at 10 a.m.
"We're sort of holding the line on where we were, and it's been kind of loosened up in Champaign," Prussing said.
However, Champaign extended its rules this year also to be in effect on the Saturday following the Friday event. Champaign is home to many more campus bars than Urbana, and the rules there apply to a wider area.
"It's not really a huge Urbana issue," Prussing said. "We try to help Champaign."

t's hard to talk about theater in the morning and especially hard when the vacuum cleaner is so loud. As the playwright Richard Greenberg and the director Doug Hughes hung around the stage of the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center waiting for the noise to subside and their meeting to begin, some not-so-idle chitchat was in order. Hughes's Broadway production of "Doubt" had just changed casts and been re-reviewed, mostly positively, the previous day.
"I don't read reviews myself," Hughes said. "I have someone who is on my side read them, then tell me about them."
"I don't read them at all," Greenberg said.
"You're a better man than I," Hughes declared.
"I'm a scareder man than you," Greenberg answered.
No one knows better than Greenberg that "scareder" is not a word, but with five plays in production — four of them new — he's allowed. "A Naked Girl on the Appian Way," which Hughes directed, opened on Broadway last fall; "The Well-Appointed Room" opened at Steppenwolf in Chicago in January; "Bal Masqué" opens at Theater J in Washington next month; "The House in Town" opens at the Mitzi Newhouse in June, with Hughes directing again; and a revival of Greenberg's 1997 play, "Three Days of Rain," starring Julia Roberts, begins previews on Tuesday. It will be directed by Joe Mantello, with whom Greenberg collaborated on "Take Me Out," his 2002 play about a gay baseball player who comes out, which won Greenberg a Tony Award for Best Play and Mantello a Tony for Best Director.
But Greenberg is a classic overachiever. He is so busy being "scareder" than everyone else that he never notices how scared other people can be of his searing intellect and lightning wit, which have prompted some critics to compare him with Noel Coward and Philip Barry. Although he has written his share of high-toned, upper-middle-class comedy-dramas, his work avoids a specific milieu, either drawing on historical characters or events as inspiration — the Collyer Brothers, Maxwell Perkins, Truman Capote's Black and White Ball — or landing in a major-league locker room. While the settings are never predictable, the high literary quality of the writing is. Greenberg's best lines are simultaneously funny and smart, managing to elude bitchiness without sacrificing bite. In "Eastern Standard," when two siblings discuss their conservative mother, one says, "There's not a revolution in history that would have failed to execute her." And in "The Extra Man," one character describes another's emotional tirade as "Medea minus the sense of proportion."Continue reading the main story
Paul Rudd, who will appear in "Three Days of Rain" along with Bradley Cooper, said that even though he had never met the play's star, Julia Roberts, "I had seen and read a lot of Richard Greenberg's plays, and I was much more nervous meeting him."
As it happens, there's little to be nervous about. Greenberg is somewhat misunderstood because he doesn't get out much. At 48, he is already the author of 28 plays; the extent of the interviews he has given in the last 15 years or so consists mostly of snippets delivered by phone, from an agent's office, a rehearsal hall or his local diner. His social reticence is a consequence, he says, of being burned by the spotlight of theatrical Schadenfreude when "Eastern Standard" became a sensation in 1989, combined with a renewed zeal to work after a bout of Hodgkin's lymphoma went scarily undiagnosed in 1992 (it was later cured). In "Hurrah at Last" (1999), the most autobiographical of Greenberg's plays, the character with an undiagnosable disease says that the doctors refer to him as a fascinoma. "It's a medical term," he says. "It means, 'I trained in Guadalajara."'
While Greenberg stays in, he is visited by a large number of friends. He moved to a duplex apartment in Chelsea a year ago after living for 16 years in a nearby studio, where he says he broke his pinkie toe twice on all the books piled on the floor. Among his closest friends is the actress Patricia Clarkson, most recently in "Good Night, and Good Luck," whom he met at the Yale School of Drama in 1982. They lived together for almost six years, first in New Haven, then in New York, and have been devoted ever since. But she is only one of many. While reporting this article, I heard the names of at least a dozen other women, each identified as "one of his closest friends."
It's easy to understand Greenberg's appeal to women, which transcends the familiar if still compelling gay man/straight woman equation. He is not only a world-class talker who gives superior phone (going unseen seems to free him) but also a high-fidelity listener who remembers every word someone says — verbatim, based on my experience, which was more than a little disconcerting since I was the only one taking notes.
"Have you ever been en-charactered?" he asked within minutes of our meeting. When I said no, he laughed. "Give it two hours," he answered, which seemed a challenge of sorts. I could either run or stay and fight. Neither turned out to be necessary. Except for being the most exquisitely verbally self-defended individual in New York, Greenberg is essentially a shy man, his laser brain tempered by a streak of plutonium-grade insecurity; he seems to find the world easier to digest from the confines of his apartment, where he can give full rein to the boundless exhilaration of his imagination. Though he excels on the phone, he rarely answers it and returns calls only under duress. When he finally appears for appointments, always on time and with the odd ability to somehow pace in place, he wears a look of mild surprise tinged with worry that prompts reassuring. Mario Cantone ("Sex and the City"), who was "en-charactered" by Greenberg for his 2002 play "The Violet Hour," recalls Greenberg's coming to see him perform at Caroline's Comedy Club: "I looked out at this packed room, and all the way on the edge, right near the door, was Rich."
Ah. The vacuum cleaner was gone and Greenberg and Hughes could talk. Hughes had brought along sketches of John Lee Beatty's set for "The House in Town," and the problems stemming from Greenberg's note at the start of the play soon became apparent.
"The main setting is a town house on Millionaire's Row, 23rd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues," he wrote. "The time is the first months of 1929. My hope is that the living room of the town house will seem quite solid but disassemble and recombine to form all the other places of the play. And that the play never stops moving."
Sure. Piece of cake. Hughes propped up the sketches. "The only thing, Richard, is if it's going to stay fluid, there's the question of how people would come in and out of that home in 1929," he began. "It's winter, people are dressed for occasions and right now, we have the otherwise strange phenomenon of people entering and having to throw their coats in the corner."
Greenberg grinned. "As I wrote it I thought, Good luck, guys," he said, while Hughes, clutching his voluminous notes, looked slightly incredulous. In an instant, Greenberg switched from flip, his default setting, to serious. He seemed so used to hearing the lines that run in his head that it took him a minute to consider someone's actual response to them.
"I'm glad to rewrite, and if you and Cathy tell me what to do, I'll do it," he said, referring to Catherine Zuber, the costume designer. "When I wrote this I knew what I meant it to feel like, but even more than usual I didn't know how it would function. Because the house is a character."
The first day of rehearsal, Hughes said, would be April 18. Greenberg jumped up, pacing in place. "Oh, no!" he exclaimed. "'Three Days of Rain' opens April 19. That means I have the first day of this rehearsal, the second day and then I have to put on clothes?" Hughes, who in the last 18 months has directed eight plays, again looked incredulous. Again, Greenberg adjusted. "Everyone should have a year like this," he said agreeably. He sat back down. "One time only," he muttered.
When I arrived at Greenberg's apartment for our first meeting, he was dressed to disappear: drab olive pants, dark gray button-down shirt and black lace-up shoes. In the weeks it took to negotiate our time together, he assured me that no one cared about his personal life, so there would be no reason to ask about it, and since all he did was write and never left the house, there was no story to tell. "You can come over and watch me punch in my FreshDirect order," he offered.
So I was somewhat surprised to find an immaculate apartment filled with bookshelves and sunlight and a coffee table hospitably set with plates of cookies and grapes. "I was raised a nice boy," he proclaimed. "Would you like coffee? Tea?"
After he gave me a brief tour of his place, which looks like a stylish library, with views, we sat down to talk. The most recent rap on Greenberg, who has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama ("Three Days of Rain" in 1998 and "Take Me Out" in 2003), is that he has been churning out too much too carelessly. In a season when he is represented by five plays, it was not an auspicious beginning to have critics decimate the first one, "A Naked Girl on the Appian Way." "This clunky farce about the limits of liberalism," Ben Brantley wrote in The New York Times, "suggests Mr. Greenberg has been moonlighting as a gag writer for sitcoms and is now recycling his discarded one-liners." Ouch. As recently as 2003, Brantley, in his review of "The Violet Hour," rhapsodized over the "luminosity" of Greenberg's writing, saying, "Among his peers, only Tony Kushner matches Mr. Greenberg in linguistic richness and playfulness."
"It's weird, because I don't feel prolific," Greenberg said easily. "I don't write anything for months at a time. Then I write all in a row and what happens is they all get done at the same time."
He brought over tea from the open kitchen. "I've lived in this apartment a year and haven't started a play since," he said. "I'm always amazed by those people who get up at 5 and write till 8 and then eat a peach and walk their canary and write two hours more and then are free to collect firewood for the rest of the afternoon. Because I just walk around thinking about plays, and when they seem ready, I don't get out of my robe and I sit down for a week and draft them. By that time it's largely secretarial. I've figured it out. But there's no system — I suppose that is a system. But there's no order to it, no regularity. Though I have this idea that I'm never not writing a play."
Greenberg wrote "Naked Girl" in three days, he said, to cheer himself up during the summer of 2004 as the Republican National Convention was poised to invade New York. "It worked," he said, "because just compulsively making jokes feels affirmative." How the play was received is a different issue. "It's complicated for me because people worked so hard on it and so well, and I feel as if I underserved them," he said. "Because the play is not much of a play, really. When I sent it out, very intelligent people would say to me, 'I think it's actually like modern Molière.' And I'd say, O.K., even though this tiny interior voice was saying, 'Isn't it really kind of third-rate Jean Kerr?"' He shrugged. "You know how smart people can come up with a parareality more convincing than the actual reality? That's how it got produced. But when someone writes a bad thing about a play that's actually bad, how much can I protest?"
He also wrote "The House in Town" that summer. After André Bishop, the artistic director of Lincoln Center Theater, produced Greenberg's "Everett Beekin" in 2001, he asked Greenberg if he had ever read Willa Cather's "My Mortal Enemy." He had, of course, because he seems to have read every book ever written. But he looked at it again.
"I don't know if you can find any points of connection between it and the play now," Greenberg said, "but that idea led to it, the realization at the end of someone's life that the person she's been living with was her mortal enemy." As for Bishop, he said that after mentioning the book to Greenberg, he never heard another word about it. "Then four years later," he said, "he handed me a play."
Greenberg has been spending more time at Lincoln Center anyway since last fall, when he developed what he calls a "monomania" about the musical "The Light in the Piazza." Just as he became so obsessed with baseball that he wrote "Take Me Out" because he couldn't think about anything else, he began seeing the show regularly.
"There's a balm to it, a place you just want to return to," he said. "It's like a destination as much as it is a show." When I said it would be fun for us to see it together, he looked horrified. "I don't want you seeing me at 'Light in the Piazza!"' he exclaimed.
Greenberg is more expansive about "Three Days of Rain," seeming genuinely excited about its new production. In the play's first act, an adult brother and sister and their childhood friend discover a journal kept by the siblings' dead father containing a number of cryptic entries, including "Three days of rain." In the second act, the siblings play their own parents, the friend plays his own father and the meaning of that entry is ultimately revealed.
Like seven of Greenberg's other plays, "Three Days of Rain" was commissioned and originally produced by the South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, Calif. Jerry Patch, now the resident artistic director of the Old Globe Theater in San Diego, had worked on them as a dramaturg, or literary manager, with Greenberg. "The myth in being a dramaturg," he said by phone, "is that you nurture the playwright. You don't nurture Richard. You just give him resources and get out of his way. He was always the smartest person in the room about what he was doing. 'Three Days' is as well made as a Swiss watch."
Which might be just what you need for a movie star making her stage debut, in a piece of packaging heaven: Julia Roberts wanted to do a play; Creative Artists Agency represents her — and Greenberg and Mantello; Marc Platt, one of the show's lead producers, also produced the musical "Wicked," directed by Mantello, and as an executive at TriStar and Universal presided over three of Roberts's films, including "Erin Brockovich." Voilà.
"I met Julia Roberts in L.A. where we had a reading of the play," Greenberg said, "and you kind of got why she was a movie star. There was one point when Joe asked me to talk, which terrified me because I hadn't prepared an essay. And so mostly I looked at my feet. But when I looked up there was — you know the way some people listen, they get it. She just got it."
Heady stuff for a boy raised in East Meadow, on Long Island, the younger son of Leon, an executive for Century Theaters, a movie chain in New York, and Shirley Greenberg, a homemaker. Greenberg graduated magna cum laude from Princeton, where Joyce Carol Oates gave his thesis, a 430-page novel, an A. He then went to Harvard for graduate work in English and American literature, got bored, wrote a play and submitted it to Yale, which accepted him into its playwriting program.
His older brother, Edward, is an investment banker at Morgan Stanley, and Greenberg is close to him, his wife, Janet, and their son, Jonathan. Even so, he wouldn't give me Janet's phone number because he didn't want his family to know about this article. "They'll just come upon it in the paper," he said, and the subject was closed.
Shirley Greenberg died in 2002. Leon moved to Manhattan, and according to his younger son, spends too much time Googling him on the Internet. What was his mother like?
Greenberg made a strangled-sounding noise and grabbed at the grapes. "Why don't you answer that question for yourself, and then you'll give me some idea of a model of how to answer it," he snipped.
Before I could respond, he jumped from his chair and headed toward the blinds; the sun was in his eyes, but it became clear that he didn't know how to lower them. He moved to the couch, where the sun was indirect. Still, the glare from his black-framed rectangular glasses obscured his eyes. He seemed more comfortable then.
"My mother wanted me to be a writer," he said. "But she was a child of the Depression and never understood that she wasn't poor. So, you know, the idea of not having a job, it would creep through. But she tried very hard to be subtle about it."
It must have been difficult for her to have a child with cancer after she herself had had lymphoma.
"It was certainly a definable era in our relationship," he said. "But mine was complicated because no one knew what it was. I spent seven weeks at Central General Hospital on Long Island because I became unmistakably sick when I was visiting out there. I'd had this quack doctor in New York, which is one of the reasons there were complications. He gave me basically a prescription overdose of a blood-pressure medication, and my kidneys and liver had stopped functioning. But out there I had a good oncologist. He was really a family oncologist at that point.
"Once it was diagnosed," he went on, "there was a real Pollyanna thing about it, because it's the happy cancer, the good kind to have if you're going to have it at all. But it kept being mysterious. Finally they said: We're doing this one last test. We don't really do it anymore. It's kind of antiquated, but we just wouldn't feel right if we didn't do it. And that's the one where they found something. Then they did this exploratory surgery, and I remember waking up, and the oncologist was there, and he said, 'It's Hodgkin's and we're going to cure it.' And I fell back to sleep and that was the last time I worried. My chemo was completely easy, and I started feeling better with the first dose of it.
"So there was a certain unreality about it in the end. And I just kept thinking: What a good thing it is to be interrupted at this stage in my life. Because the rhythms we fall into can be sort of blinding. You can forget what your life is and not even know if you like it or not. And after being sick, well, you do start enjoying stuff more. You just do. Right after that, I think that's when I got really — apparently I'm considered prolific."
Which is only part of it. The growth in Greenberg's career has happened both on the page and off. He used to work regularly with a few directors — David Warren and Evan Yionoulis among them — who were also his friends, and the perception in the theater was that they did as they were told. Not quite, Greenberg says. "Evan and David could be quite tough on me, which was good because you always need people to say no." But, he added: "I think I can be an intimidating energy in the room. I think I come in with an aura of wanting results because as the playwright I know how it goes, and there's the thought, Why can't they catch up? But when you work with people a long time and you become so familiar or coded in some way, it behooves you to move away for a while and shake things up a bit."
In recent years he has worked with Mantello, Hughes and Terry Kinney at Steppenwolf. Also, Greenberg says, his rewriting skills have improved. "Young playwrights are all about their voice, but eventually you understand that a good deal of that voice is just self-indulgence. I think I only became a playwright when I learned to rewrite."
Downstairs the phone was ringing. We'd gone past our allotted time, and from the look on Greenberg's face, that must have been a friend calling to see how it went. Which seemed to evoke a wave of paranoia. That, and his realization that as the sun waned, the glare had faded from his glasses and I could see him again.
"I just assume I'm in for a season of being pilloried because I seem to be more visible and Julia Roberts is doing my play on Broadway and that's just uppity," he said. "I know the history of how people get treated, and now I'm going to be included because I'm just there too much."
But he must hear from other playwrights who like his work.
"No," he said.
"Well, when someone says they admire your work, who knows who's telling the truth?" he fretted. "But you know what, I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind."
It was the Friday of President's Day weekend, with freezing temperatures and a howling wind, a perfect night for a cozy dinner at home. Patricia Clarkson cased Greenberg's apartment, praising improvements he had made to the décor since her last visit. He glowed. Until she walked toward the kitchen.
"Uh, I don't have that thing you asked for," he said awkwardly.
"Which would be an ice bucket?" she said, shaking her head. She pulled a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from her bag, and he put the open bottle in a bowl of ice with a spoon in it. It worked.
"I roasted these for you, they're organic," he said, offering her a bowl of cashews flavored with cumin and chipotle chili powder."This is in no way an hommage, but listen to what's playing." It was the soundtrack to "Good Night, and Good Luck." Clarkson started dancing as she talked and picked at the nuts, all seven pounds of her. Greenberg watched her adoringly, standing still, holding onto the counter.
"I want you to see the new chairs I reupholstered," he told her, and she followed him down the winding staircase. "You don't feel there's a plethora of pattern, do you?" he asked worriedly.
"No. What pattern? It looks great." She walked into his bedroom, where she threw herself onto the bed. She lay on her back and closed her eyes, luxuriating, for at least five seconds, before they flew open. "Richard! You don't have the air-conditioning on do you? It's going down to 20 degrees!"
He stumbled over a number of excuses but she was already heading toward the thermostat.
Back upstairs, he served chicken stew, a recipe of his mother's. I told Clarkson that when I asked about his mother, he made strange noises.
"Well," he interjected, "it's like saying, 'Explain to me Russia from 1917 to the present.' It's an enormous question."
Clarkson took small bites. "Shirley was truly witty," she said, looking fondly at Greenberg. "She had your cadence at times, though you won't admit it. She was wise and wry. I think of her as being slightly detached from a situation, but she wasn't at all in any way, shape or form. She was assessing."
Hmm. Sounds familiar.
"Do you remember the opening night of 'Three Days of Rain?"' Clarkson went on. She starred in the original production at Manhattan Theater Club with John Slattery and Bradley Whitford. "Your mother was beside herself that night. And your father. They were lit from within."
Greenberg looked proud and a bit misty in spite of himself.
How does Clarkson feel about "Three Days" this time?
She smiled. "Well, of course, there's a small part of me — but it's a beautiful cast and a great director. And I'm so glad this extremely touching play is reaching a wide audience. But I don't want to say too much. I don't want to jinx it."
They both knocked the table. "Is it real wood?" she asked, as he looked offended. "This is a play that should be seen and that should have a life," she said. "It's a masterpiece."
He cringed. "Don't say that."
"O.K., it's masterful. That's the beauty of it being seen on a much larger scale."
"It's not that much larger. It's only 12 weeks."
"Richard, stop! I'm trying to be Southern. My parents are going to read this!"
He went downstairs.
"You know, for all his intellect and success and vocabulary," she said, "at the end of the day he's —" She held up her hands. "I love him unconditionally. He's my family. We have the same shock and horror at things in life that might pass other people by. If God is in the details, Rich and I are deeply religious people.
"He's smart, opinionated, funny," she continued, "but a very gentle man. I don't think he could write the way he does if he weren't. He is a solitary man, but he has remarkable friends. He has his swans."
"Swans?" Greenberg charged up the stairs at the reference to Capote and his female friends. "I don't run your life," he said.
"But you have great influence," she countered. "We all gather and perch and fluff around you."
He looked pleased, if not wholly convinced. She bade him good night. Three hours had passed in a flash. "I'll talk to you soon," she told Greenberg. "Like later tonight."
Greenberg sat down with his coffee. He had done part of the shopping for this meal with me earlier in the week at his local D'Agostino. Greenberg likes supermarkets. They calm him down and help him think.
"I'm fond of fluorescent lighting," he told me during our 90-minute foray there. "It reminds me of school concerts at night, which is a feeling I liked a lot. I was All County viola in high school. I practiced an hour and a half daily. Then it went away." What replaced it was winning the Long Island Theater Festival Award for acting in high school, for his performance in "No Exit." No kidding.
In the cookie aisle, we got onto the topic of nostalgia. In "The Well-Appointed Room," a character says, "Nostalgia's just the longing for a time you know you can survive."
"I find I have nostalgia for the hospital," Greenberg had said. "A really corny thing happened when I was there. It was so movie of the week. I spent seven weeks in bed. I had gone in during the winter. And I remember finally walking to the end of the hall, to an open window, and it was spring."
There was a real softness in his face then, the first unguarded moment I had seen. The hope of getting out, getting better, so clearly revealed. Then he turned his back. "Nostalgia is an entirely out-of-control emotion," he said, pushing his cart.
Now, in his apartment, I asked him again about that memory and why he had dismissed it. He looked distressed at my even mentioning it and shook his head. "I'm a dramatist, and if I ever wrote a scene like that I'd be ashamed of myself," he said. "There'd be a shot of a crocus. It would be grotesque."
But when he talked about it happening, what he felt was real. I could see it.
He shook his head again. "I'm always milling it into a play," he said. "I can't turn it off."
We talked awhile longer, and he walked me to the door. "Take best care," he said, and closed it.
Angus McIndoe is a theater-district hangout famous for its people-watching, and on this February evening, Paul Rudd, recently of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," was getting his share of stares. Because rehearsals are almost always closed to the press — especially rehearsals with a movie star who has never done theater before — Rudd had graciously agreed to come the night before they began to talk about the play with Greenberg, Mantello and me.
Greenberg took off his coat but left on the two scarves he had looped around his neck. Mantello reached over to feel one. "Very 'Brokeback Mountain,"' he said. Greenberg rolled his eyes and asked after Rudd's 16-month-old son. Then they started talking baseball. There went that side of the table.
"I find it easy working with Rich," Mantello said, sipping a martini. "He's hyperarticulate, and I'm more meat and potatoes. When we did 'Take Me Out,' we would watch baseball over the phone, which was really informative to me. I understood so much of the play because of those calls. The passion and obsession, his romantic notion of the game. The kernel of where the whole production came from was those phone calls."
"It's important for me that Richard is around," Mantello went on, which prompted Greenberg to start listening. "Part of my job is to get inside his head, understand his intention. It's very convenient that he come to rehearsal and be a part of it. In a healthy creative rehearsal room, the best idea wins."
Does Rudd find it intimidating that his brilliant high-strung character in Act One seems somewhat similar to Greenberg?
"I don't know Richard well enough yet to know if that's true," he said carefully.
Mantello laughed. "But your character will have two scarves."
So, let's cut to the chase. When will it all go bad?
"The third week," Mantello said immediately.
Rudd nodded. "There's a predictability to it all," he said. "I had the dream two nights ago that it was opening night and I was supposed to bring my own costume and no one told me. I have this dream every play."
Greenberg looked sympathetic. "I chose playwriting when I realized that if it's going badly, you can leave."
Mantello smiled comfortably. "If you do it enough, you learn to separate a real problem from a temporary problem," he said. "Sometimes the solution is, Let's just go home."
Which it was time to do. While Mantello went to the men's room, Rudd and Greenberg hovered near the top of the stairs. It was my last meeting with Greenberg. He paced in place, unsure what to say, additionally uncertain because Rudd was there.
I watched him being "scareder." It would seem that we'd ended where we began. In our week together, he had talked as fast as he could in his valiant attempt to beguile, entertain, deflect. Pity. Because all those words later, what stayed with me was his face in the cookie aisle. That open face of yearning and hope.
But no hard feelings. Three plays in four months will subsume him just the way he likes. Talk and parry, write and parry, parry and retreat. But perhaps, by virtue of the seasons, in the midst of it all, he'll find another window. No one seeing, no one knowing. And it will once again be spring.Continue reading the main story

This weekend, I, along with my whole family, went to two cities in southern Alameda County, Union City and Fremont. We attended Mass at St. Anne's, which I found to be full of mass goers, especially filled with Filipinos, for a noontime Mass that lasted about 90 minutes, way longer than I expected for a service due to longer songs being performed.
After a long service, in which I stood for most of it, Sweet Tomatoes was our next destination, and as usual, I got a plateful of salad. The lines, though, were long that our wait time was about 15 minutes from one end of the salad bar to the cashier!
After a hefty lunch, we drove through the Niles District in Fremont, in which my uncle and I brought my parents to for the first time, then we went to Union City to grab some groceries, including a box full of mangoes in the process.
After, we toured along Alvarado Boulevard that turns into Hesperian Boulevard in Hayward, where we went through the Hayward Airport, and we finally went home.
And here's the good news: with the mobile version of Weebly now available, I can post more updates more frequently. Plus I can add even more photos and notes about my commute, including the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. I find it fun and easy to use Weebly Mobile; I hope it will have an iPad version of it soon though, as well as added features including HTML formatting and making a photo album similar to how I do it on regular Weebly that will allow me to build my website even further and make my posts better. Plus with expanded coverage, you will even get to see updated commute information as it happens using video and photos so that you can see how transit and highways are developing around the Bay Area. With the new Weebly Mobile, site updates become more frequent while I maintain my high quality of posts, and you'll get to know me the best way: on the go.
As my first video for the daily updates, here's a southbound view of the new Presidio Parkway that I really like with a tunnel instead of a viaduct, and I really like the wider roadway that makes the highway better looking.

At the Rink: Penguins at Panthersby NHL.com Staff
The Pittsburgh Penguins will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen when they play at the Florida Panthers on Monday (7:30 p.m., SN).
The Penguins on Monday sent forwards Steve Downie and Brandon Sutter, along with goaltender Thomas Greiss, back to Pittsburgh to be tested for the mumps virus.
Goaltender Jeff Zatkoff was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League to be the backup to Marc-Andre Fleury.
Penguins coach Mike Johnston said his plan will be for the seventh defenseman to take shifts at forward.
"We'll put a defenseman up," Johnston said, according to the Penguins website. "We'll probably play a defenseman up front a little bit and get five, six, seven minutes of a defenseman playing on that [fourth] line and then sort of maneuver from there. We've got to place some depth in our lineup tonight, so that's what I'm going to do originally heading into the game, for sure."
Johnston wouldn't say who the seventh defenseman would be, but did tell the media who it wouldn't be -- specifically Rob Scuderi or Kris Letang.
"Scuderi and Letang are really key with that group and [Simon] Despres is almost a veteran guy right now," Johnston said. "It's funny to talk about him as a veteran guy because coming into the season he didn't have a lot of games. Now he's looked on as more of a veteran influence back there. But certainly Scuderi and Letang will be relied on a lot these next two games."
The Penguins have been besieged by illness and injuries recently. Forwards Sidney Crosby and Beau Bennett had the mumps, forward Chris Kunitz returned Saturday after missing a month with a broken foot, and forwards Pascal Dupuis (blood clots) and Craig Adams (undisclosed), as well as defensemen Christian Ehrhoff (undisclosed), Paul Martin (undisclosed) and Robert Bortuzzo (upper body) are out with injuries.
"We talked about it before, that over the last three weeks our team has had to adjust and adapt," Johnston said. "Told them this morning it's just one of those days where we're adjusting and adapting one more time. We'll let them know the lines and [defense] pairs and we'll proceed from there."
The Miami Herald reported that Pittsburgh native Vincent Trocheck will play again Monday. He scored third goal of the season Saturday when the Penguins and Panthers played in Pittsburgh.
Here are the projected lineups:
Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Patric Hornqvist
Nick Spaling - Evgeni Malkin - Blake Comeau
Rob Klinkhammer - Marcel Goc - Bryan Rust
Brian Dumoulin - Scott Harrington
Scratched: None
Injured: Christian Ehrhoff (undisclosed), Paul Martin (undisclosed), Craig Adams (undisclosed), Pascal Dupuis (blood clot), Beau Bennett (lower body), Olli Maatta (upper body), Scott Wilson (leg), Zach Sill (upper body), Robert Bortuzzo (upper body), Steve Downie (illness), Brandon Sutter (illness), Thomas Greiss (illness)
Jonathan Huberdeau - Nick Bjugstad - Vincent Trocheck
Sean Bergenheim - Aleksander Barkov - Brandon Pirri
Jussi Jokinen - Dave Bolland - Jimmy Hayes
Tomas Kopecky - Derek MacKenzie - Scottie Upshall
Willie Mitchell - Dmitry Kulikov
Scratched: Tomas Fleischmann, Brad Boyes
Injured: Shawn Thornton (groin)
Stats report: Johnston said he was unsure what the Penguins would do about getting an extra forward before their next game, Tuesday at the Tampa Bay Lightning. Complicating matters is Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is off until Friday for the holiday break. "We're going to talk about that this afternoon, trying to get somebody in, because all the [AHL] guys have gone home," Johnston said. "So getting their equipment, connecting with the player. Or can we play seven defense. That's a question we'll discuss as a group this afternoon and make a decision."
Who's hot: Malkin had his six-game point streak snapped Saturday against the Panthers but still has four goals and six assists in his past 10 games. … Ekblad, the first pick of the 2014 NHL Draft, had an assist Saturday to give him 19 points; he's the 12th-highest scoring 18-year-old defenseman in NHL history. He's on pace for 50 points, which would be the second-most points by an 18-year-old defender in League history.

If you've ever wondered (because I'm sure you all have), what my ideal Sunday morning would be, it's this. I made the yummiest ever fruit smoothies, that included pineapple, banana and tons of citrus and Paul and I enjoyed them with fresh bagels (a Sunday tradition). I topped mine with this amazing (amazing!) jalapeno cilantro hummus that I got from the One of a Kind Show on Friday. It's funny that I went to the show expecting to get jewellery or scarves, and instead came away with hummus and this adorable hand-crafted mug. Go figure! Next, we took the domestic dorkiness to a whole new level by randomly deciding to go on a hunt for a jigsaw puzzle. Sadly, the only one we found was from the dollar store. But, on the plus side it's a puzzle of the Toronto skyline, eh eh? Lastly, we just received a shipment from amazon which always excites me. I can't wait to get reading- just need to finish Jonathan Franzen's epic (read:way too long?) Freedom first…
I hope your weekends were as peaceful as mine. Here's the delicious smoothie recipe:
Spring fresh fruit smoothie
Serves 4
1 pineapple, diced
2 bananas, chopped
zest and juice of 2 oranges
juice of 1/2 grapefruit
1 tray's worth of ice cubes
splash of almond milk (optional)
Whiz it all together in a blender and enjoy!

On November 23rd, Stéphane Courqueux, Director IFOP Asia, talked about market research of consumers in China primarily focused on the luxury industry. Students from the MBA/Masters Luxury Brand Management took some time to listen in on some key findings presently and what to expect in the future.
IFOP Asia performs research in the field of FMCGs but also has a very specific expertise in luxury. Acting as a bridge between Western brands and Asian consumers, IFOP Asia has a unique understanding of the luxury market and consumers' behavior towards luxury products and services, especially in China.
"All eyes are on China. Chinese consumers are now rescuing the business in the West" said Mr. Courqueux, emphasizing the potential growth for luxury brands in China. With an increase of 10.60% per year, the number of high net worth individuals will continue to attract luxury brands to China, raising the question "when will China be the 1st luxury consumer? " According to Mr. Courqueux it will probably be around 2015. However, he added, "there is still some way to go until the market reaches maturity and sophistication". Indeed, Chinese consumers are less loyal, logo lovers, impatient and looking forward to instant recognition so, in a country where the brand holds an overpowering position, how will smaller brands without a strong recognizable brand succeed?
Stéphane Courqueux also covered new challenges that will be faced by the industry in Asia such as whether luxury brands should go online and the future of foreigner brands - as China will more likely develop its own luxury brands. He also gave students some valuable tips for those wanting to operate in this highly demanding industry in Asia: "listen to your customers and make local adaptations, select the customers you want to address, be clear in your statement and positioning and connect with your customers."
Whereas it would have been assumed that luxury brands could operate through a global strategy, once again it seems that recent presentations given by industry professionals confirm the fact that, when entering the Chinese market, brands have to adapt to local specificities to encounter success.

Tips to Get Bad Credit Loans
We all need to borrow cash from time to time especially at the time when money is tight. It is not always easy to get credit as banks and building societies these days are more careful when it comes to the person they are lending to. Nobody wants to have bad debts which usually dent the bottom line of the company. The first thing that the lender does is to get information on your credit file. They take a number of factors into account when they are considering your loan application. They will ask for your credit report from some main credit references agencies and they will be able to see your financial history and all the other loans you have to determine your credit score.
Each lender has a different way of calculating a credit score and you can be successful with one bank and not the other as they have different ways of calculating the score. The credit score is a measure of creditworthiness and if you have ever made a late payment on a loan, it will show up on your file and affect the score. For the first time borrowers, since they have no record of either good or bad, it makes the lenders wary of lending to this group of borrowers.

If your small business has never been involved in anything that infringed on a trademark or copyright, the recent frenzy over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) may have escaped your notice. It doesn't apply to businesses like yours, right?
You may be wrong about that.
SOPA is good news for the entertainment industry and its related industries. It allows copyright and trademark holders to contact advertisers and others who do business with sites that encourage or even allow infringement to ask them to stop. There is no requirement that those copyright holders contact the offending businesses first.
While, for many, this may seem like a great idea, Google's policy counsel warned lawmakers that the legislation could have ramifications for innocent companies that provide a storefront for a wide variety of small businesses. With a large site like Amazon or eBay, even taking proactive measures to ensure pirated merchandise is never sold is not failproof.
Additionally, there would be no way to determine that the person reporting the piracy was being truthful. "A corporation, a copyright troll, or anyone with an axe to grind could send a notice…without first involving law enforcement or triggering any judicial process," Google's Katherine Oyama said.
While Google was the only business speaking publicly against the act, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, and others ran ads against SOPA. The law could impact any business with ties to copyright or trademark infringement. YouTube, for instance, is made up of millions of videos posted by people throughout the world. Copyrighted material is posted every single day even though the site makes every effort to remove any content that has been requested to be removed. Members often stream these videos on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, with neither of those sites policing members' pages to remove offending material. All of the above mentioned sites have a business impact if complaints are lodged with advertisers, but the general public is more concerned about the long-term ramifications. Is this beginning an Internet censorship that will change the way we surf?
For small start-ups, investors are watching this as well. According to the Huffington Post, investors responded negatively to a survey on the issue, stating overwhelmingly that they would not invest in a company that had the potential for lawsuits related to SOPA.
The Motion Picture Association of America and the Business Software Alliance have been mentioned as supporting SOPA. Microsoft and Apple are both members of BSA, although Microsoft is rumored to be quietly opposing the bill. The bill, which is currently before Congress, has been scheduled for markup on Dec. 15 of this year. Protest sites like American Censorship Day are popping up to help educate and unite those against the legislation.

Welcome to The Lid, your afternoon dose of the 2016 ethos… President Obama has received a heavily guarded advanced screening of the newest season of "Game of Thrones," the show's creators revealed. That perk is really the only explanation as to why, like, 100 people ran for president this cycle.
'16 from 30,000: John Kasich's campaign is growing frustrated with the anti-Trump movement for what they claim is its transparent transformation into a pro-Ted Cruz movement, NBC News' Leigh Ann Caldwell and Kailani Koenig report. The Kasich camp's not-so-subtle message is that the effort has not given the Ohio governor support in states where he could make gains against the GOP frontrunner. Sure, there is evidence to support that complaint -- for instance, the stop Trump efforts are essentially ignoring New York so far, where Cruz is in third place and where a strong performance by Trump could leave him with all of the state's 95 delegates. And other anti-Trump groups, like the Club for Growth, have expressly supported Cruz. But Team Kasich's complaints would hold a lot more weight if the candidate had been able to win more than one state so far. In fact, he still trails Marco Rubio, who dropped out of the race on March 15, in delegates. March 15, coincidentally, is also the last time Kasich gained a delegate. So the Stop Trump movement's gravitation to Cruz is not a matter of favoritism but practicality. And though many in the GOP believe a two-term swing state governor would fare better in the general election than a firebrand conservative, Kasich's window to establish himself as the primary anti-Trump alternative has largely closed.
John Kasich's campaign feels the stop-Trump movement seems to have morphed into pro-Cruz movement, NBC's Leigh Ann Caldwell and Kailani Koenig report.
With or without Paul Ryan, a "white knight" at the GOP convention is unlikely, NBC's Marianna Sotomayor reports.
Bernie Sanders was cheered like a rock star while visiting striking Verizon employees in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
Hillary Clinton encouraged voters to repudiate the "bigotry" of Trump and Cruz during a speech to the National Action Network.
And from First Read: Why Hillary Clinton was the real winner in Paul Ryan's no-go.
"I'm a 21st century thinker. As somebody said, 'You're really a millennial in an older man's body.'"
-- John Kasich to reporters while campaigning in Catonsville, Maryland.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in New York City. Trump also campaigns in the Empire State.
John Kasich joins Chris Matthews for a town hall airing at 7 p.m. ET on MSNBC.
Ted Cruz sits down with Chuck Todd for a town hall airing at 8 p.m. on MSNBC.

AHIMA, IHE Unveil Draft Roadmap for Health Information Governance
July 21, 2015 in News
The American Health Information Management Association and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise have jointly drafted a roadmap for creating standards for health care information governance, Clinical Innovation Technology reports.
Details of Roadmap
The roadmap, titled "Health IT Standards for Health Information Management Practices," highlights national and international efforts to ensure health information system interoperability.
To support electronic health information use, management and sharing, the authors encourage collaboration among various stakeholders, including:
- Health information management professionals;
- Health IT vendors; and
- Standards developers (Walsh, Clinical Innovation Technology, 7/20).
The roadmap also includes recommendations for handling large volumes of health data from health IT sources, such as electronic health records. The authors suggest:
- Bolstering information governance principles that AHIMA developed in its information governance framework;
- Creating a roadmap for boosting data security, developing data standards and sharing meaningful data governance principles among health information management professionals;
- Determining the major challenges for information governance; and
- Informing health IT data standards developers about health information management professionals' challenges and best practices around data governance (Bresnick, Health IT Analytics, 7/20).
The final roadmap is expected to be released this fall (AHIMA release, 7/15).

Owned by a family of culinary enthusiasts, Marisse Patisserie's operations are overseen by Marisse Alvarez-Sy. The head honcho of the business, Marisse fondly remembers an afternoon with her mom when they created her first baking memory of delicious apple dumplings. Her earlier days were spent at the kitchen which showed her affinity to cooking and baking.
It was her passion to create something beautiful and delicious, fueled by the prodding of her family and friends, which led to the opening of Marisse Patisserie. When her husband decided to open KAYU : Kitchen + Bar in 32 Sanson by Rockwell, she thought that a pastry shop right across the establishment would be a perfect complement.
Tucked a few blocks away from the busy streets of Lahug, Marisse Patisserie is nestled in a charming garden estate of 32 Sanson by Rockwell, a high-end development that exudes Cebuano's relaxed lifestyle and warmth.
Though not easily accessible, the patisserie is a gem that's worthy of discovery and acquaintance. We'd say it's a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Greeting you at the entrance is a rustic bike with wildflowers in a basket, beckoning you to get inside. Verdant greens surround the place while overlooking a pool. Unfortunately, customers can only marvel at the serene and cool waters of the pool. Due to the lack of shower and changing rooms in the area, customers and diners are not allowed to swim in the pool. But should you wish to dine in an al fresco setting, there are cabanas neatly arranged by the poolside where you can take shade while having your breakfast or afternoon snack.
The interiors of Marisse Patisserie exudes a shabby chic theme with cool hues of blue and shades of teal.
Near the entrance is a mouth-watering display of cakes, pastries and other baked goodies. Industrial lamps hanging at the counter creates a rustic feel to the place. Behind the counter is a beautiful arrangement of delicate ceramics and dainty teacups.
Every nook and cranny of the patisserie is instagram-worthy and when I say every corner, that includes their pretty restroom, as well! Millenials would surely rejoice taking snaps of their food and taking selfies for their Instagram #feedgoals
Marisse Patisserie offers a wide selection of cakes and pastries.
Getting inspiration from her travels, Marisse whips delectable creations with a "twist". Among the patisserie's cake selections, must tries are Strawberry Matcha Cake, Pecado Mortal, Blueberry Lemon Cake and Pappy's Banana Guava Cake.
Who would've thought that Strawberry would go well with Matcha?! A queer yet delightful combination of sweet and earthy flavor, Marisse Patisserie's Strawberry Matha cake was surprisingly tasteful.
Heavenly rich and dense. Marisse Patisserie's Pecado Mortal is the ultimate chocolate cake for chocolate lovers. There's the slight bitterness of chocolate coupled with a hint of coffee and the crunch of casuy brittle.
The right blend of sweet and tangy flavors, the Lemon Blueberry cake was deliciously light and fresh.
Created in honor of Marisse's father who loved to eat bananas with guava jam, Pappy's Banana Guava cake is a delicious combination of banana cake layered with guava jam, chocolate icing and cream cheese frosting.
Their delectable cheesecakes shouldn't be missed too! Their Guava and Brownie cheesecakes are must-tries.
Aside from desserts, Marisse Patisserie also offers savory treats and hot-grilled sandwiches.
Marisse confessed in good humor that she can't live without bread so you're sure to find a great selection of breads in every kind at Marisse Patisserie — loaves, buns, rolls, twists and danish.
We love their Ube and Cheese twist. Every bread was soft to the bite. Their Cinnamon roll with Walnuts and their Ube ensaimada were also a few of our favorites.
There's a great variety of ube-flavored and ube-filled pastries available at the patisserie and that's because Marisse is very fond of ube. She's one certified ube-holic.
They also have bars, tarlets and cookies that are perfect for to-go snacks or pasalubong.
For a complete list of their menu, you can visit marissepatisserie.com

While playing this mission, you won't encounter any enemies and won't have to solve any puzzles. Instead, you have some exploration to do and several tests to complete. It's also a great opportunity to become acquainted with the basics of controls and gameplay mechanics.
Putting on the TranStar Uniform
The game starts with selecting the protagonist's gender and the difficulty level (suggestions concerning the difficulty level can be found in the Several general rules page). You are located in an apartment. You might want to look around since there is a lot of objects to collect, notes to add to the journal, and 3 e-mails on the computer to read in it. To advance the quest, interact with the Suit hung on the wall.
Reaching the chopper on the roof
Exit the apartment. On your way to the landing zone, you can talk to Patricia Varma but it's completely optional. Use the elevator to move to the roof. There, interact with the chopper and you will be taken to the TranStar Headquarters.
Going to the testing center
Once there, use the new elevator. Meet with Alex Yu and go to the testing rooms. There are four tests for you to complete, and you can't fail them.
- In Room A, push the button and then remove the three boxes from the red oval platform.
- In Room B, you will be asked to hide. You can try to hide behind the chair by crouching (the above image).
- In Room C, after pushing the first button, run up to the second one, jumping over the wall on your way.
- In Room D, sit on the chair and give (any) answers to the questions that appear on the screen. Soon, one of the scientists will be attacked by a Mimic which concludes the prologue.

Our #1 and #2 Priority
We passed our plumbing inspection on Valentine's Day. The inspector was very impressed with Frugaldad's DIY job. Then the following Saturday, Frugaldad cut into the existing septic line and tied the new plumbing into it.
In case you missed the news, I fell and broke my ankle on February 13 so I haven't been outside to take pictures or even see the progress for almost 3 weeks. But Frugaldad assures me that the progess is great. He framed all the perimeter walls in the basement so they can be insulated and now that most of the snow is melted, he and the kids cleaned up most of the rest of the debris around the site.

The number of ways of shuffling a cabinet
No doubt the first question on the mind of anyone reading the previous post concerning John A. Macdonald's double shuffle is, "In how many ways could Macdonald have appointed his former cabinet members to new ministries so that no minister was appointed to the same position that he had held in the previous Macdonald government?"
Letting denote the number of ministers in Macdonald's cabinet, the answer to this question is , the number of derangements of an -element set. A derangement is a permutation such that no element is mapped to itself. The number of derangements of an -element set is well-known to be , which turns out to be simply the nearest integer to .
I am too lazy to bother writing a proof of this formula here, so instead I refer the reader to, for example, the book Concrete Mathematics by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik.
Macdonald's double shuffle
In 1858, Canadian Premier John A. Macdonald (later, first prime minister of the Dominion of Canada) pulled off one of the most brilliant (and underhanded) political manoeuvres in Canadian history. This feat of parliamentary trickery is known as the "double shuffle".
It began with a debate over the proposed location of Ottawa for the new capital of the province of Canada. Previously, the capital of the province rotated every four years among Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City. This state of affairs was clearly impractical, so it was decided that there should be a permanent capital. The town of Ottawa was proposed, ostensibly at the suggestion of Queen Victoria. However, there were many Canadian parliamentarians who opposed this location. In 1858, Brown, the leader of the opposition, passed a motion in the Canadian parliament expressing reservations regarding the choice of Ottawa as the capital. The premier, Macdonald, declared that the motion was an insult to the Queen (since Ottawa was supposedly her choice), and resigned his position along with his entire cabinet in protest. The Macdonald government thus fell.
In response, the Governor-General approached the opposition leader Brown and requested him to form a government. Unfortunately, Brown ran afoul of a constitutional technicality: at that time, any incoming cabinet minister was required to temporarily resign his seat in parliament and seek re-election in a by-election. With his cabinet temporarily absent from parliament, Brown would not have enough members to retain a majority in the house. His government was thus doomed to fall in short order.
Indeed, Brown's goverment was promptly defeated. It was now once more up to the Governor-General to decide what would happen next. Brown requested that he dissolve parliament and call a general election, but instead the Governor-General decided that he would ask Macdonald to try to form a government once more. However, if Macdonald attempted to form a cabinet, he would find himself in the same situation as Brown: his cabinet would be forced to give up their seats and seek re-election to the house, and their temporary absence would cost Macdonald his control over parliament. His government would surely fall by the same sequence of events that led to the demise of the Brown government.
However, Macdonald found a constitutional loophole that would allow him to break this cycle: even though incoming cabinet ministers were required to resign their seats and run for re-election, there was a special exception that stated that if a minister resigned a cabinet position and took up a new cabinet position within one month's time, he was not required to seek re-election. Clearly the intent of the provision was to allow a premier to make adjustments to his cabinet without incurring the cost of a by-election every time. Macdonald however exploited this exception in a very clever and devious manner: he swore in his old cabinet ministers, but each one was appointed to a ministry different from the one he had previously held (Macdonald appointed himself postmaster general). Since his cabinet ministers had resigned their offices just a few days earlier (certainly less than one month) and since they were now each taking up entirely different cabinet portfolios, Macdonald claimed that they were exempt from having to resign their seats and run for re-election. The very next day, Macdonald then moved all of his cabinet ministers back into their original portfolios (the ones they held during the previous Macdonald government). Macdonald thus avoided the need to have any of his cabinet ministers resign his seat.
Clearly Macdonald's "double shuffle" was in no way in keeping with the spirit of the law, but he had technically complied with the letter of the law, and had thereby manage to completely outmanoeuvre Brown.
The Fine-Wilf Theorem
The Fine-Wilf Theorem is as follows. Supppose and are two infinite periodic sequences with periods and respectively. If and agree on their first terms then the two sequences are identical.
We present here the elegant algebraic proof given as the solution to Problem 134 in Bollobas' book The Art of Mathematics and attributed by Bollobas to Ernst Straus.
We first define formal power series and . By the periodicity hypothesis, we have and for some polynomials of maximum degrees and respectively. However, since divides each of and , we also have
where is some polynomial of degree at most . If the first coefficients of and coincide, then the first coefficients of are zero, whence the polynomial is the zero polynomial. It follows that is identically zero, so that and and hence and are identical, as claimed.
We should point out that several other results that we have discussed in previous posts appear as problems in the previously mentioned book by Bollobas.
- Cauchy-Davenport is Problem 96.
- Erdos-Ginzburg-Ziv is Problem 97.
- Bollobas' Cross-Intersecting Pairs Theorem is a weaker version of a result of Frankl given as Problem 113.
- Problem 115 is a consequence of the two families result discussed here.
Enumerating permutations by number of inversions
We have previously given a proof of the identity
which is Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem. We now describe how to apply this formula to derive a formula for the number of permutations of elements with inversions. Let be a permutation of , written in the so-called "one line" notation. An inversion of is a pair such that and . Let denote the number of inversions of . Then we claim that the generating function of is
We prove this by induction on . For , we have one permutation with no inversions and one with one inversion, whence we obtain the generating function , as claimed.
Suppose the claim holds for and let be a permutation of . We create a new permutation by inserting into . If we insert after all elements of we have created no new inversions; if we insert after all but one element of we have created one new inversion; and in general, if we insert after all but elements of we create new inversions. Thus the number of permutations so created is enumerated by the generating function
as claimed. This completes the proof.
Let denote the coefficient of in ; i.e., is the number of permutations of elements with inversions. We wish to deduce a formula for . Since is the coefficient of in , it must also equal the coefficient of in the infinite product . By Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem, we have
Thus, is the coefficient of in . By the binomial theorem, we have
(recall that ). Thus, letting denote the pentagonal numbers, we obtain a term in by multiplying a term from by a term from . The coefficient of in is , and the coefficient of in is . Thus, the coefficient of is given by
where the sum is over all for which . This is the desired formula for the number of permutations of elements with inversions.
The diverse and abstruse mysteries of numbers
The epigraph to Chapter 1 of Melvyn Nathanson's Additive Number Theory is from one of Pierre de Fermat's notorious scribblings in the margins of his copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica. In English translation, it reads:
I have discovered a most beautiful theorem of the greatest generality: Every number is a triangular number or the sum of two or three triangular numbers; every number is a square or the sum of two, three, or four squares; every number is a pentagonal number or the sum of two, three, four, or five pentagonal numbers; and so on for hexagonal numbers, heptagonal numbers, and all other polygonal numbers. The precise statement of this very beautiful and general theorem depends on the number of the angles. The theorem is based on the most diverse and abstruse mysteries of numbers, but I am not able to include the proof here….
One wonders to what "diverse and abstruse mysteries of numbers" was Fermat referring, but of course Fermat was also notorious for not providing proofs of his claims. Triangular numbers are numbers of the form ; squares, of the form ; pentagonal numbers, of the form ; and -gonal numbers in general, of the form .
The claim regarding squares is the famous Four Squares Theorem of Lagrange; the claim regarding triangular numbers was proved by Gauss; and the claim in general was proved by Cauchy. The proofs of all of these results can be found in Chapter 1 of Nathanson's book.
How Cleopatra spent 10 million sesterces on a single meal
The following anecdote is from Pliny's Natural History:
There were formerly two pearls, the largest that had been ever seen in the whole world: Cleopatra, the last of the queens of Egypt, was in possession of them both, they having come to her by descent from the kings of the East. When Antony had been sated by her, day after day, with the most exquisite banquets, this queenly courtesan, inflated with vanity and disdainful arrogance, affected to treat all this sumptuousness and all these vast preparations with the greatest contempt; upon which Antony enquired what there was that could possibly be added to such extraordinary magnificence. To this she made answer, that on a single entertainment she would expend ten millions of sesterces. Antony was extremely desirous to learn how that could be done, but looked upon it as a thing quite impossible; and a wager was the result. On the following day, upon which the matter was to be decided, in order that she might not lose the wager, she had an entertainment set before Antony, magnificent in every respect, though no better than his usual repast. Upon this, Antony joked her, and enquired what was the amount expended upon it; to which she made answer that the banquet which he then beheld was only a trifling appendage to the real banquet, and that she alone would consume at the meal to the ascertained value of that amount, she herself would swallow the ten millions of sesterces; and so ordered the second course to be served. In obedience to her instructions, the servants placed before her a single vessel, which was filled with vinegar, a liquid, the sharpness and strength of which is able to dissolve pearls. At this moment she was wearing in her ears those choicest and most rare and unique productions of Nature; and while Antony was waiting to see what she was going to do, taking one of them from out of her ear, she threw it into the vinegar, and directly it was melted, swallowed it. Lucius Plancus, who had been named umpire in the wager, placed his hand upon the other at the very instant that she was making preparations to dissolve it in a similar manner, and declared that Antony had lost—an omen which, in the result, was fully confirmed. The fame of the second pearl is equal to that which attends its fellow. After the queen, who had thus come off victorious on so important a question, had been seized, it was cut asunder, in order that this, the other half of the entertainment, might serve as pendants for the ears of Venus, in the Pantheon at Rome.
Another intersecting families result
We have previously discussed the following result of Kleitman concerning intersecting families of sets: if are monotone decreasing families of subsets of , then . Suppose that instead of the hypothesis that are monotone decreasing, we instead have that is even for every , . In this case we have the following result of Ahlswede, El Gamal, and Pang (1984).
Theorem. If are families of subsets of such that is even for every , , then .
Proof. Let and be the vector spaces over GF(2) generated by the sets of characteristic vectors of the sets in and respectively. The assumption that is even for every , means that the inner product is 0 over GF(2) for every , . In other words is contained in the orthogonal complement of . Since , we have , as required.

The Clemson Tigers thought they had finally found a quarterback to take over the reigns of the offense in freshman Deshaun Watson.
The first-year player had impressed in preseason and clearly outperformed senior starter Cole Stoudt through the first three games of the season. Once Watson took over for the Tigers, he almost led them to an upset victory over Florida State in week three (a 23-17 overtime loss) and proceeded to win their next three games.
But alas, it seems like after head coach Dabo Swinney finally relented and let Watson assume the starting role, cruel fate has sidelined the young stud.
Watson will have four screws put in his broken finger, Swinney said Sunday, that will take about four weeks to recover.
The injury occurred on his right hand, which he throws with, in the second quarter of the team's 23-17 win over Louisville. Now the team will be left shorthanded for a few weeks even as it gets into the heart of its Atlantic Coastal Conference schedule.

Disappointing timing
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound quarterback was just getting into a rhythm as Clemson's top signal-caller. Despite his limited touches to start the season, Watson has thrown for 1,176 yards, completing 67 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns and two interceptions.
Most importantly, Watson hasn't shied away from the big moment. He led scoring drives in the team's season-opening loss against Georgia and threw for 266 yards in his first major action in September, during that earlier-mentioned Florida State game.
In his first start the next week, Watson threw for 435 yards and six touchdowns to only one interception against North Carolina.
The Tigers finally reached ranked status again this week, entering the polls at No. 23 after improving to a 4-2 record while defeating the Cardinals.
Questionable future
Now Stoudt takes over again for the next four weeks, but whether or not he will be able to lead the Tigers to success is very much in question.
Stoudt simply wasn't impressive to start the season, which is disappointing because he waited three years behind Tajh Boyd, who was drafted this spring, in order to finally have his moment in the limelight.
He didn't do much with the opportunities he had though. In the 45-21 season-opening loss to Georgia, Stoudt threw for only 144 yards and an interception, barely completing half of his passes. He looked better against small-school South Carolina State, but struggled again while facing Florida State before being pulled for Watson.
Clemson doesn't have a terrible schedule ahead of it, but the Tigers are entering conference play. Boston College (4-2), Syracuse (2-4), Wake Forest (2-4) and Georgia Tech (5-1) all lie ahead.
Those first three games should be manageable and if Stoudt can keep the ship afloat until then, a triumphant Watson return against Georgia Tech might be enough to keep Clemson's ACC hopes alive.

Another chance to re-live that magical night at Ashton Gate with a first hand account of the three points gained by Wolves from Molineux Way's intrepid roving reporter Ivybridge Wolf
Oh what night,
Late December back in twenty 17!
Drove so far to see us beat City,
What a match, oh what a sight!!!
OK, maybe not the best rehash lyrically but any football division has to be won over four seasons (see what I did there?), and at the turn of the year we are top, 10 points clear and deservedly so.
We are a really decent side and for me this makes it 4 wins out of 4 for the matches I've attended and I've seen some very different and exhilarating performances. Tonight was another brilliant match which had a great deal of quality though what I am so enjoying is the shear entertainment - top draw - with the kind of topsy turvey turn of events that would test any dicky ticker but a finish to cap them all. Roy of the Rovers stuff ending in the ultimate 'Nunotime' 94th minute winner. Dreamland surely?
We got there early. Plenty milling about around the ground and we positioned ourselves for the arrival of the team coach. First time since I was a ST holder I saw the team arrive and I have to report I loved it! Took a little video of the new crop and Nuno and very satisfied with myself in a little boy kind of way! Had drink outside and got to our seat. Ashton Gate is a very good ground now by the way, The new grandstand has finished it off very nicely and to see it full tonight was a thrill especially with a fantastic Wolves following who deserved the 3 points all themselves for the full 90 minutes they (we!) put in. Proud to be Wolves!
I'm assuming that you all saw the match? The kind of result and performance to drain the last drop of emotion from a fan and crushing for all connected to Bristol City. We've been there. I thought we were the better side to be honest but oh my god after Danny's red I thought 'oh sh$te'! Seen the highlights now and it seemed incredibly harsh but I was so impressed with how we coped for the rest of the half, fully deserving to go in 0-0. City rarely troubled us.
2nd half, City upped it a little and their goal was 'Wolves-esque' - pace, movement, passing and great finish. That's it when you're away and down to ten versus a side on the ascendancy ...... the end isn't it? That's the script ay it? How wrong and how wonderful football can be!
.... then fell Doherty to a Fielding howler. Cast iron red but I was baying for blood, not a red. I wanted the goal that Doherty would have had, not the cr&ppy 22 yard free kick. An argument for a 'penalty goal' ala Rugby perhaps? Whatever, I was fuming. Up steps Bazzer with his peach of a left peg - cue pandemonium in the Atyeo / Park stand. I thought I was going to bust me guts! No more than we deserved but I don't think I've celebrated an equaliser like that since the Hindmarch goal at the Hawthorns circa 1989?!
All us after that wasn't it? 10 v 10 and we were on the up. 94th and Romain gets pulled back in front of me! Free kick on the right. Where's Bazzer? OK, trotting up, happy to see that - might we have a chance? Another pearler of a left footed whizzing cross and Bennett connects, the ball heading towards me with just the net in between. Delirious. Delirious. Wild scenes. Incredible. Wonderful. Total loss of self control. Hugging - anyone in the vicinity really!!! A Wolves love on!
This is what being a fan was invented for, these moments. Down to 10, up against it, kept calm, go behind, claw it back, passion, last minute winner, 10 points clear!
So many pluses, so many assured performances as well as mistakes. I'm not going through them all but will summarise with my negatives and positives, players wise. Negatives, Costa I'm afraid, looked powder puff and weak at times with some poor body language, compare that to Cav's energy and dynamism when he came on which helped changed the match IMO. Also had to that Ruddy's kicking. I know Ashton Gate doubles for Rugby but there are no line outs in football! Positives? So many, a collective guile trumps it all, a terrific team effort but ..... Ruddy's early fabulous save, Coady and Big Willy (every team needs one) in general, the superb left boot of Douglas, Saiss today for sure, the golden, cultured boot of Neves (shear class tonight) and Cav. I will mention Jota too - quieter today but worked hard and I love him!
It's so great to be a Wolves fan at the moment. The manner of this superb victory has done nothing to diminish the warm feeling I have inside. The run home fled by. The year is over and just look at the table. It would be a dream if I hadn't been so privileged to have seen it first hand. It's happening. 2018 looks as inviting as it will be exciting, oh yeah, and I'm 50!
Happy New Year to all Wolves fans everywhere and most importantly 'Up the Wolves'.
