02/27/09: "A Shot in the Arm," Virginia Business
A Shot in the Arm
By MARJOLIJN BILJEFELD
Two new acute-care hospitals could offer the Fredericksburg area some immunity to the ills of an ailing economy.
North of Fredericksburg, the 100-bed Stafford Hospital Center opened last month in Stafford County. South of town, the 126-bed Spotsylvania Regional Center is under construction in Spotsylvania County, with anticipated opening in spring 2010.
Combined with the existing 412-bed Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, the region will have three hospitals along a roughly 20-mile stretch of Interstate 95, an indication of the increasing prominence of health care in the local economy.
Laurens Sartoris, president of the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, says the state's decision to allow two new hospitals in the region underscores how much the area has changed in the generation since the current Mary Washington facility was built. "It's just a testament to the growth in that area," he says.
For years, a flurry of housing and retail activity, fueled by Fredericksburg's proximity to Washington, has placed the region among the fastest growing in the nation. Although the housing market is down (foreclosures and sharply discounted "short" sales rose nearly 600 percent last year) and retail is sluggish, the regional economy still has several stable pillars to lean on, including the hospitals, the area's two colleges, a growing tourism industry and a number of military connections. None of those are entirely recession-proof, but together they provide some insulation against the worst economic chills.
Hospitals to employ 750 workers
The new hospitals are leading the way, each creating its own micro-economy. Stafford Hospital Center will have 350 employees, while Spotsylvania Regional Center will have 400.
Medical offices, restaurants and hotels are planned to support staff and visitors at the new facilities. For example, the $175 million Spotsylvania project includes plans for one or two medical office buildings for physicians joining the hospital's staff. The region has a lot to offer health-care professionals who want to relocate, says Mark Foust, an HCA spokesman. "Whenever you have a brand-new hospital with advanced technology, that's a big drawing card," he says.
The hospital is a draw for developers, too. The Fredericksburg-based Silver Cos. is creating Cosner East, a mixed-use project adjacent to the Spotsylvania medical campus. It will include medical office buildings, a grocery store, pharmacies and restaurants. "The dynamic of that project is interesting because there is so much retail there already," says Jon Riley, Silver's project manager, explaining that Cosner's Corner, with 1.2 million square feet of retail, is just on the other side of I-95.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has approved a permit for a bridge over the interstate, connecting Cosner's Corner to the 1.5 million-square-foot Cosner East and the hospital. (Silver also is the developer of the enormous Celebrate Virginia project — a 2,400-acre area that includes the Central Park shopping center, hotels, a golf course, active adult residences, a corporate campus and the site of the planned Kalahari Resort indoor water park.)
The Spotsylvania hospital will be easily accessible from the Lee Hill campus of Germanna Community College, a potential source for nurses. In February, HCA donated $50,000 to the college to fund nursing faculty salaries.
University developing property
Another development in the area is being spearheaded by an unusual source — the University of Mary Washington Foundation. The foundation purchased a 21‑acre shopping center across Route 1 from the main college campus in Fredericksburg, adjacent to Mary Washington Hospital. The property will be redeveloped as Eagle Village, a mixed-use project featuring premium student apartments, retail, a transportation center, office space and a 500-car parking garage.
"It's an entrepreneurial and aggressive project for a foundation, especially a fairly small foundation," says Jeff Rountree, the foundation's CEO and president of Eagle Property Holding LLC, the real estate development company formed to handle the project. The $115 million project's first phase has begun with construction of an apartment complex and the pedestrian bridge over Route 1. That phase is expected to be completed in summer 2010. The foundation made its first foray into real estate development in 2001 when it purchased a 350-unit apartment complex near the campus for $15 million.
"As a private foundation with a good endowment, we have access to the capital market that much of the public doesn't have. We made this purchase at about the worst time in the credit market," Rountree says. But hard times also mean labor is plentiful. Contractors are aggressively bidding for the work. "This project may be helping to keep some businesses in business. If the economy bounces back around the time that we come online, [next summer for the first phase] our timing might look brilliant in the end," he says.
Rountree says it's not entirely a coincidence that much of the development in the Fredericksburg area is being led by health-care and educational institutions. "We see ourselves as being the economic engine of a place in a very critical time." The foundation supports the university through the real estate investments, but the community benefits, too, from retail and service businesses, Rountree says. "The university had a specific need for premium university housing," so the first phase includes the apartment-style housing with 624 beds. But the mixed-use project aligns with the city's JumpStart redevelopment and urban revitalization plan. Rountree says the foundation plans to make some announcements about anchor businesses soon for Eagle Village.
Wegmans store planned
Just a few miles away, the Celebrate Virginia project will get a boost when a 150,000-square-foot Wegmans grocery store opens in June. The privately held grocery chain based in Rochester, N.Y., expands at a conservative pace of two or three stores per year. The Fredericksburg store is the fifth in Virginia since the company entered the state in 2004; a sixth is under construction in Leesburg. The company has opened an employment office and is taking applications for the 550 to 600 full- and part-time employees it needs.
"We spend a lot of time designing each store and hiring and training staff," says Jo Natale, director of media relations at Wegmans. "We look for sites that bring together a lot of important elements: densely populated area with a regional draw, a place that is accessible and large enough to accommodate our stores and parking — minimally 15 to 20 acres. Natale says, "We're pleased with the performance in all our Virginia stores. We do our homework before we commit, and we're very hopeful for the Fredericksburg store."
Meanwhile another grocery chain, North Carolina-based Harris Teeter, announced in January that it plans to build a distribution center in King George County, on the eastern part of the region. The $101 million facility would bring about 300 jobs to the area. Harris Teeter operates stores in eight mid-Atlantic states.
But not all area development projects are progressing as planned. The credit crunch may delay Kalahari Resorts' plans for its $250 million indoor water park and hotel. Company President Todd Nelson told reporters late last year that finding financing had proved to be a challenge. Nonetheless, he says, the Wisconsin-based company remains committed to the project. Kalahari has filed a development plan with the city but says it may miss its original December 2010 opening date. Kalahari now operates two resorts, in Ohio and Wisconsin, which each attract about 1 million visitors a year. A 2007 study by Strategic Advisory Group anticipates the Fredericksburg resort will have an economic impact of about $122.7 million on the region.
Diversification of the economy has been an important goal for the Fredericksburg area, which has been heavily reliant on retail for jobs and tax revenue. When retail sales drop, "with nothing but consumer spending to drive the economy," recovery in retail-dominated regions is slower, says Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University.
Nonetheless, the good news for outlying suburbs like the Fredericksburg area is that Northern Virginia's job market is expected to grow this year. Fuller predicts a net increase of about 12,000 jobs in 2009, mostly connected to government spending. He also thinks that, led by the business and professional services industries, Northern Virginia job growth will continue to rise, adding 126,000 positions by 2013. The economic effects will ripple out. It'll be 2010 "before the Fredericksburg region feels warm again. The chill will release its grip slowly … 2010 will be a slow year, and 2011 will be a good year," Fuller says.
Until then, the new hospitals offer the best prescription.

The San Diego animals worth watching for
Dolphins, wild pets, migrating birds, DDT and local pelicans, local sharks, impounded dogs, the difference between man and beasts
Various Authors 8:30 a.m., Dec. 16
It was the biggest media event of the new year, and Elena Cristiano was in her element. A crowd of more than a hundred reporters, photographers, politicos, and sports fans, along with a bank of television cameras, had turned out on the bayfront steps of the County Administration Building to hear her boss, San Diego mayor Dick Murphy, announce a curious alliance with his erstwhile political foe, county supervisor Ron Roberts. Cristiano, a striking, 30-ish brunette who had been the mayor's press secretary since he took office in December 2000, stood just off camera, taking in the scene with mayoral chief of staff John Kern. As they surveyed the assemblage on that sunny morning in mid January 2002, Cristiano would periodically lean her head close to Kern's and whisper something in his ear. Murphy and Roberts took the podium to announce that they were working on a secret way for the county to save the troubled downtown ballpark in case the latest courtroom challenge succeeded in blocking Murphy's city funding plan. After the presentation, Cristiano, dressed in an elegant black coat and a stylish purple turtleneck, rushed to congratulate the mayor; she stood at his side as he answered questions from lingering reporters. Afterward, she, Murphy, and Kern huddled near the Donal Hord fountain before heading back to the mayor's dark green SUV.
As it turned out, the legal threat to the ballpark soon evaporated, and Murphy did not need Roberts's help. But the media event held that January 23 would be remembered for another reason. It was one of the last times reporters would get a glimpse of Cristiano. Less than four weeks later, on February 19, the mayor issued a three-sentence news release, headlined "Mayor Murphy Makes Staff Changes." It said that "Mayor Dick Murphy today announced that Colleen Rudy has been appointed Press Secretary in place of Elena Cristiano who has been appointed Director of Communications.
"Ms. Rudy will be responsible for all press inquiries and media relations. Ms. Cristiano will be responsible for speech writing and special projects. 'I am pleased to announce these changes. I think these new assignments will strengthen our ability to communicate with the press and the public,' Mayor Murphy said."
Since that day, Cristiano has not been seen around city hall. Though she is listed on the mayor's website under the title "Director of Communications/Speechwriter" and her photograph appears there, her successor, Colleen Rudy, will not comment on her status nor her whereabouts, referring all questions about her to the city attorney's office. "That is a personnel matter," said Rudy. Deputy City Attorney Michael Rivo, to whom Rudy referred all questions, said he also won't confirm or deny that Cristiano is still on the mayor's payroll. "It involves a personnel matter, and that, at this point, would not be disclosable."
Finally, last week, in a telephone interview from her home in Poway, Cristiano broke weeks of self-imposed silence to answer some of the questions surrounding her abrupt, secrecy-shrouded departure from the city's most prominent and coveted public relations job. Guardedly, she shared a story that she said involves unspecified "legal issues" she has with mayoral chief of staff Kern, an ex-newspaper reporter, political consultant, and Murphy intimate since the 1970s, when Kern served as chief of staff to then-city councilman Murphy. Cristiano said she's consulting a lawyer about the matter but can't comment more directly until she and her attorney have had more time to evaluate her options.
"I need to talk to my attorney about the situation with the mayor's office," she said. "As you know, there have been some legal issues that have to be resolved legally between myself and specifically John Kern. Absolutely none of this has to do with my past. I did a great job. My last communication with the mayor was that my job was secure, and there was no reason for me to fear losing it."
Cristiano said she hasn't been into her city hall office for weeks and that she stopped receiving her $65,000 salary on the first of March but still considers herself the mayor's employee. "I hope to go back. I'm on state disability right now, but it's not through the city. I filed a workers' compensation claim, but the city's self-insured, so not surprisingly the city denied the claim. [State disability] is something separate, that your doctor has to say that the stress has caused physical harm."
She adds that she still regards Murphy as a friend and remains his loyal staffer, even though the mayor no longer is talking to her. "Well, that obviously concerns me, but in light of the situation, I'm trying to understand. I've served the mayor very well," she said. "I've always gotten along with Mayor Murphy. I'm a huge fan of him personally."
How did the 36-year-old Cristiano, who had never before worked for an elected official -- let alone in the high-profile position of press secretary to mayor of America's sixth-largest city -- get her job at city hall? That, she said, is a long story. She describes a life of early hardship, full of tumultuous relationships with a series of men. Those relationships began with her violently abusive adoptive father in Ohio, where she was born on September 2, 1965, and continued in her college days at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she said she fulfilled the graduation requirements but didn't receive a diploma because she owed the school money, to waitressing at Seau's, barely surviving on welfare, and finally a job with the "Pad Squad," cheerleaders for the San Diego Padres, where she met Padres executive Charles Steinberg, whom she now calls "my mentor and dear, dear friend."
Steinberg, she said, gave her the breaks she needed to help turn around her life, which had been marked by nasty physical confrontations with ex-boyfriends and a series of run-ins with the law, including, the record shows, two convictions for shoplifting in the early 1990s, allegations of personal battery, and a 1997 arrest by lifeguards at La Jolla Shores after a boardwalk donnybrook in which she allegedly struck a lifeguard in the head and questioned the size of his penis before being led away in handcuffs.

Times Argus Opinion: Is our governor really green?
Reposted from The Times Argus.
By RANDALL SUSMAN
Gov. Shumlin and Sen. Brock took opposite sides in the recent debate on Vermont's energy future in Burlington. Gov. Shumlin is, and has been, an outspoken advocate for curbing greenhouse gases. On July 7, the governor and leaders in the Northeast and Canada pledged to work to cut greenhouse gas pollution. Our governor has taken a leadership role in support of not only curbing greenhouse gases, but also energy security, jobs and with them, a healthier future for Vermonters.
Despite these efforts a Massachusetts developer is planning to build a biomass power plant in Springfield. The Springfield plan is contrary to the governor's objectives. The Springfield project calls for a giant 35 Mw wood-burning biomass plant. This proposal is now under review by the Vermont Agency for Natural Resources and by the permit-granting agency, the Public Service Board. The PSB is being asked to issue a "Certificate of Public Good." But we, the public, fail to see the good. In fact, there is nothing in the way of public good as determined by the governor's own yardstick. While governor's own Department of Public Service has testified that the North Springfield project will be "neutral" on greenhouse gas emissions, available emissions data show the opposite, that the plant will produce 1,176 tons of greenhouse gas each day, 429,000 tons of greenhouse gas each year, and an incredible 21,470,000 tons of greenhouse gas over its lifetime. More than 1,175 tons of greenhouse gas emitted into Vermont's air each day.
Just as troubling is the fact that the plant will operate at a mere 26 percent efficiency. And data also show that the Northeast now has an excess electrical capacity totaling 3,000 Mw (a number that comes from the most recent New England Forward Capacity Market auction). At what point do we stop ans ask, "does Vermont really need yet another inefficient, GHG-emitting power plant?" If the carbon emission numbers are not alarming enough, people who actually live in Vermont should also fear the particulate emissions, the main culprits in respiratory diseases and emergency room visits. The proposed plant will be located in the midst of the residential-agricultural and mixed-use areas of North Spring-field where 700 people reside and hundreds more work. Wood will arrive from an estimated 100 to 200 tractor trailers each day. Large trucks will travel through the community past homes, past day care centers of which there are three in North Springfield, and past small businesses.
In addition to carbon emissions trucks will spread road dust and they will leave behind waste ash. All of these facts explain why studies based on data provided by industry conclude that these biomass plants should not be built in residential areas. Not surprisingly, the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, as well as medical societies across the country take positions against biomass and biomass pollution.
The governor's position on clean energy offers Vermonters great hope. But the threat of greenhouse gas and pollution from biomass in Vermont dims the hopes of many Vermonters. The developer's Springfield plan defies the governor's objectives and instead pushes Vermont to the lead in inefficient biomass energy — not clean energy. Wood biomass burning and clean energy are mutually exclusive.
Vermonters should applaud Gov. Shumlin's energy plan. The governor's plan is visionary. It is difficult to imagine how the governor's clean-energy policy can co-exist with wood-burning biomass and its prodigious greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass combustion is dirtier than that of natural gas.
If Vermont is to lead in the drive toward a clean-energy future we need to curb, not promote, the needless and inefficient production of greenhouse gases and particulates that issue from notoriously inefficient biomass burning.
Randall Susman lives in North Springfield.

Stardust (US - BD)
Gabe revisits one of his favourite underseen films of the last 5 years...
Tristan Thorne (Charlie Cox), is a lowly shop boy with an affection for the prettiest girl in the town of Wall, Victoria Forester (Sienna Miller). Victoria has more or less zero interest in Tristan, but does agree to a midnight picnic, which he doesn't his best to woo her. Meanwhile, on the other side of the magical wall, the King of Stormhold (Peter O'Toole) lies on his death bed. Traditionally the last living son is given the crown, but the King's seven sons haven't managed to completely off each other, leaving three possible heirs. The King releases a magical jewel into the sky, which the remaining brothers are meant to find to capture control of the country. Unfortunately the jewel hits a star, and she's knocked violently to Earth. Tristan and Victoria see the star as it falls, and Tristan swears to journey beyond the wall to bring the star back to Victoria for her birthday. The fallen star doesn't go unnoticed by three evil witches in Stormhold, who need to devour the star's heart to continue their everlasting life and beauty. Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), the defacto leader of the three witches takes the final dose of their last fallen star, and joins the chase.
It's seldom at this point in my movie watching life (we're pretty much talking one a day since high school) that I'm surprised when my basic assumptions, based usual on trailers, are proven entirely wrong. Stardust might be the single biggest surprise I've ever had, since not only was it quite good, it's become one of my favourite films altogether. Comparisons to The Princess Bride are in my opinion quite valid, and the more time goes by, the more I'm placing Matthew Vaughn's film ahead of Rob Reiner's. Stardust pours wit, oozes affecting romance, and feature some of the most satisfying stylized over-acting since the cob-web caked hay day of Hammer Films. I guess this is a good time to warn you I might be overselling the film because of personal expectations.
Vaughn came to the project, based on fantasy favourite Neil Gaiman's, after shooting his first film as director – Layer Cake (though he had a big production roll on Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and [/i]Snatch[/i]). All three of Vaughn's feature films – Layer Cake, Stardust and Kick Ass – appear to have very little in common on genre levels, but feel like part of one whole when taking Vaughn's trademarks and tones into account. Layer Cake is overall pretty serious, but takes time for ironic humour, and flows like a zesty Michael Mann movie. Stardust doesn't feature the same level threat of violence, but the witty banter and overall tone are quite similar. Kick Ass is somewhat a mix of the bright eyed enthusiasm of Stardust, the sobering violence of Layer Cake. All three films are also somewhere at the base of their being statements on other films. Vaughn is developing his own means of filmic montage, and his voice should stand out from the dozens of Taratino clones that don't really get what filmmakers like Godard, Fellini and (most pertinently) Sergio Leone were trying to do. It's far too early to tell if Vaughn picks it up to Oscar contender status, but so far he's excelling if extremely different genres, and sneaking in little sign post for us film geeks.
Stylistically speaking there's no doubting Vaughn affection for Terry Gilliam's look, and sense of fantasy scope. There's a lot of Time Bandits, Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen mixed in the visual stew. This affection not only refers to the film's visuals, but the character interaction and witty repartee match on a similar level, though they're slightly filtered by more modern British comedic sensibilities ( The Office, Hot Fuzz, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). Vaughn fails to quite live up to Gilliam's sense of extraneous detail, and the special effects work is pretty rocky the whole film. But in terms of pacing, winding up the suspenseful elements, and selling the romance to a skeptic like myself, the director acts as a man with ten times experience. Despite Vaughn's gargantuan efforts in achieving the perfect tone and look (with a moderately modest $88.5 million), much of the praise should be placed on author Neil Gaiman's shoulders. Stardust puts a modern spin on traditional fairy tales without kitching anything up ala Julie Taymore. Surely it is a predicable story, as are most of the fairy tale tropes Gaiman's invoking, but there's still an originality to the film's universe, and the sense of this particular tale having existed and passed down forever.
The cast is wonderful as well, and patches up the middling special effects, and occasionally extraneous plotting. You know your cast is clicking when Robert Deniro is the odd man out, though his character isn't really one for subtlety I suppose (and I did still very much enjoy his performance, especially on additional viewings). The leads are as delightful while they banter, as when they woo, and the supporting players, including a troop of British favs, many from the Guy Ritchie films Vaughn helped produce, supply that perfect dry wit, never overstepping into unnecessary satire. But the really great, should've been nominated for something performance comes from Pfeiffer who runs a wide gamut without ever becoming a different character. Her performance is huge, but perfectly pitched.
This marks my third copy of Stardust, which already looked pretty good on standard edition DVD. This Blu-ray looks more or less exactly the same as the HDDVD. Vaughn and cinematographer Ben Davis opt for an overall soft, candle-lit look, but never for a single style. The palette changes consistantantly moving from soft golds, to lush greens, to cool blues. The transfer's finest moments are in the busier shots of the fair, the yellow insides of Ditchwater Sal's coach, and the intricate confines of the witch's castle. Details are sharp enough with very minimal edge-enhancement, colours are thick, and blend or stand against each other when needed. The black levels are especially impressive too, considering all the many varying shades that make such a pure performance. Dirt is a non-issue, while grain remains almost non-existent throughout.
Visually this Blu-ray and the original HDDVD pretty much match, but the difference between the old Dolby Digital Plus track and this new DTS-HD Master Audio disc is pretty massive. Stardust doesn't immeadiatly strike as an effects heavy production, but there's quite a bit going on in terms of sonic attack. There are horses trotting, magical powers, not to mention some huge thunder and lightning effects. The scene where our heroes are first introduced to airships and lightning catching is quite the aural experience. One major mark up from the old Dolby Plus soundtrack is Ilan Eshkeri's whimsical musical score. This time around the low end is just a tad richer, the spread a tad wider, and generally higher in fidelity. Ian McKellen's voice-over narration also bellows stronger over the front three channels.
There isn't much new in terms of special features, except, apparently a new (it's not listed on my HDDVD copy) commentary track featuring Matthew Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman's commentary track. The track starts pretty slowly, with a few nervous comments and a lot of blank space. Things don't pick up too much from there, discussing some of the deleted elements, gushing all over the actors, delving into some of the technical aspects of filmmaking on a modest budget. Frankly it's a pretty dull, and unengaging listen from two of the most exciting filmmakers working today, and thus a pretty big disappointment.
'Crossing the Wall' (HD) is a five part featurette/EPK covering the project's origins with Neil Gaiman's book, the filmmakers' efforts to adapt the book, production and art design, casting, locations shooting, set construction, stunts, and digital and practical effects. 'Nothing is True' (10:10, HD, which was on the DVD I believe) is a charming journey around the sets and backlot with an adorably bemused Neil Gaiman, and Charles Vess (the original novel's illustrator). Next up are five deleted scenes (SD, 5:30), a rather funny blooper reel, and the original theatrical trailer.
I don't know if Stardust is ever going to find the audience it deserves outside Neil Gaiman's circle of fan boys and girls, but I mark it amongst the finest romantic comedies of the last decade, and could watch it on just about any occasion. It's a beautiful, funny, and swash-buckling adventure that really begs a bigger audience. This Blu-ray release doesn't look any better than the HDDVD release, but I have no complaints, and there's simply no comparison between the compressed Dolby Digital Plus HDDVD, and this new DTS-HD Master Audio track. Extras are the same as well, but the audio upgrade may be worth the upgrade for those with decent sound systems. The rest of you should just buy this release to have a great movie in you collection.

i just ordered this on amazon the other day. i rented it a few weeks back and loved it, its not my usual sorta movie but something about it just got to me. i'm definately not one of the Gaiman fanboys although i do also own Coraline. another movie i didnt expect to like, especially not so much that i'd buy it.
but i agree about the Princess Bride comparaisons, even though its a movie i've never liked and dont understand why its so loved....i can see why people would lump them together. but obviously Stardust has an extra something that worked on me.
oh and Pfeiffer looked freakin gorgeous in this, i hadnt seen her in a movie in many, many years so it was a surprise to see how much she hasnt changed.

I got so impatient with this release and ended up importing the Blu-ray from the UK back in March. The cover art and the price were too good to pass up.
And this is miles better than "The Princess Bride." I never did understand the love for that flick.

Never really saw this all the way through. Seen bits and pieces, but it's definitely underrated.

Visually better, but I still hold The Princess Bride's script and performances above this flick. I loved Stardust though, and I hope it finds a wider audience in the years to come.

Recipe: Rice Noodles With Shrimp and Zucchini
This recipe incorporates two of the five ingredients we have identified as must-haves for the millennials' pantry: frozen, peeled and deveined shrimp and rice stick noodles, which require only a 10-minute soak. Miso paste is a must-have for lots of vegetarian kitchens; here, the optional tablespoon adds depth to the slightly sweet sauce.
If you plan to make this for dinner, transfer the shrimp from the freezer to a plate in the refrigerator to defrost during the day.
And if you're not into chopping, pick up prepped zucchini and scallions at your grocery salad bar.
MAKE AHEAD: Leftovers are good cold; the mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Adapted from "101 Recipes You Can't Live Without: The Prevention Cookbook," by Lori Powell (Rodale, 2012).
4 to 6 servings
3 1/2 ounces dried rice stick noodles (see headnote)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste (optional)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined medium frozen shrimp, defrosted (tail-on or -off; see headnote)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 or 3 medium (1 pound total) unpeeled zucchini, cut into 3-inch-long batons (about 3 1/2 cups; see headnote)
8 scallions, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch sections (see headnote)
Crushed red pepper flakes, for serving (optional)
Boil a kettle of water.
Place the dried noodles in a deep mixing bowl. Pour enough of the just-boiled water over them to cover. Soak for 10 minutes, until softened but not gummy, then drain.
Meanwhile, whisk together the orange juice, honey, miso, if using, and soy sauce in a liquid measuring cup.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Use paper towels to dry the shrimp as much as possible. Once the oil shimmers, add the shrimp and stir to coat. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, just until opaque; do not overcook. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 20 seconds, then add the zucchini and stir to coat; stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, until it's just starting to soften, then add the scallions. Stir-fry for about 20 seconds, then stir in the orange juice mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the liquid has slightly thickened (no need to stir), then return the shrimp to the skillet or wok along with the drained noodles. Use tongs to incorporate. Stir-fry until just warmed through.
Divide among individual bowls. Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve right away.

Without Paul Revere
Today is the anniversary of Paul Revere's 18-19 Apr 1775 ride to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams that British troops were coming out of Boston. So I'm going to discuss the one myth of this event that we have the hardest time dealing with.
It's not the myth created by H. W. Longfellow's poem that Revere was in Charlestown awaiting the two-lantern signal from Old North Church. Most books these days remind us that Revere arranged to send that signal from Boston, not receive it; he was already aware that the army would start its expedition by crossing the Charles River. Only after the signal had been sent did he cross the Charles himself as a backup rider and proceed west.
It's not the myth, also implied by that poem, that Revere was a lone rider. Many people know the name of William Dawes, Jr., who carried the same message out of Boston through Roxbury a few hours before Revere crossed the Charles. David H. Fischer's Paul Revere's Ride does an excellent job of documenting how Revere was also just the start of a cascade of alarm riders, like a nuclear chain reaction, fanning out from the towns he passed through.
It's not the myth that Revere yelled, "The British are coming!"; I discussed that here.
It's not the myth that Revere rode all the way to Concord with the news. Again, history books are clear that mounted officers sent out ahead of the army's march captured Revere and Dawes on the road between Lexington and Concord. There's a historic marker at that point, and a yearly ceremony. The two Boston men had happened to pick up a third rider, Dr. Samuel Prescott; he was a local man, perhaps with a fresher horse, and he escaped from the officers and brought news of the approaching troops to Concord.
It's not the more recent myth that after Revere was captured he fearfully spilled his guts to those officers. He did tell them how he'd warned the countryside about their army's march, but that was in all likelihood an attempt to make them tell their commanders to call back those troops before anyone got hurt.
It's not even the myth that the provincial militiamen at Concord stopped the British army at the North Bridge. Three companies of soldiers crossed that bridge and proceeded to James Barrett's farm, then returned hours later, without being blocked or attacked. The firing at the bridge occurred after the locals advanced on the army companies trying to hold it. The militiamen drove that rear guard away, but then withdrew and didn't try to trap the advance units.
Rather, the most troublesome myth of Paul Revere's ride is that Paul Revere's ride mattered a lot.
There's no doubt that Revere was very active on the night of 18-19 Apr 1775. After telling Hancock and Adams that troops were coming so that they could move out of reach, Revere rode on toward Concord with Dawes and then Prescott, was captured, was released, walked back to Lexington—and found Hancock and Adams still hadn't left town. Revere then helped convince Hancock to get in the damn carriage, and the political leaders set off for Woburn—only to realize that Hancock had left some Provincial Congress papers behind in a tavern. So Revere returned to Lexington and was helping to move those papers during the first shots on Lexington green.
The ironic or even farcical part of all that dedicated activity was that Gen. Thomas Gage had written nothing in his orders about John Hancock and Samuel Adams. The officers commanding the expedition knew nothing about those men being at the Lexington parsonage, or about Hancock's trunk. No soldiers went toward those buildings on the morning of 18 April.
Hancock, Adams, Revere, and Dawes could have decided to hunker down in the parsonage with guns, swords, and a militia guard, and waited for the army to try to grab them. And those troops would have marched straight through Lexington without noticing. Gen. Gage's only target was armaments stored in Concord.
Without Revere, the Lexington militia would still have been on the alert by dawn on 19 April after hearing the same news from Dawes. There were hours between when he arrived and when the troops did, during which several more riders came into town. Capt. John Parker thus had more than enough time to assemble his men.
Dawes may not have taken the initiative to ride on to Concord without Revere, and thus no man from Boston might have met Dr. Prescott. In that case, the warnings Col. Barrett heard in Concord might not have seemed as authoritative as when he knew Revere was behind them. Earlier in the month, Revere had established contact with men in Concord.
Nonetheless, there were about two hours between the British soldiers' arrival at Concord and the exchange of shots at the North Bridge. There was another two hours between then and when the troops withdrew from the town and headed back toward Boston. So in all there were more than six hours between the shots at Lexington and when the provincial militias began to counterattack the British column in earnest. That was enough time for many towns to mobilize and reach the battle area, even without a warning the night before. So as brave, hard-working, and dramatic as Paul Revere's ride was on 18-19 Apr 1775, it may not have changed events all that much.

Name: Emma Drake
Hometown: Beaver Dam, Wis.
Title: Admissions and advancement intern; JV volleyball coach
Business: Wayland Academy
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players …"
It's a sentiment that would probably resonate with Emma.
"Theatre teaches you the fundamentals of life," she says. "It's about teamwork, caring for others and caring for your community, while at the same time being able to carry the load individually. You have to be prepared because you're an integral part of the team. Without you, the train can fall off the tracks."
Emma, who earned her bachelor's degree in business management and was rock-solid academically, drew tremendous personal inspiration from the theatre program.
"Everyone's looking for people to hang out with who are like them and who understand them," says Emma, whose dream job is to someday run a theatre or art center. "While all of Lakeland is welcoming that way, the Bradley Fine Arts Center is where I went when I wanted someone to talk to."
Emma never acted at Lakeland, but her organizational fingerprints were all over just about every production. She stage managed "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 2009 and says, "My involvement just grew from there." She also played a key role with the Theatricians, serving as secretary, vice president and president, and directed three productions for the student drama club.
One Lakeland student, a football player named Todd Szymuszkiewicz, had never acted. But after some coaxing from Emma, he read for a part and eventually enjoyed a smashing acting debut in a Theatricians production. Less than a year later, he played the lead role in the school's production of "Equus."
"To see someone grow like that is just incredible," Emma says.
Lakeland's theatre program certainly helped Emma grow. At Wayland Academy, a private boarding school in Beaver Dam, Wis., there was a need for a junior varsity girls' volleyball coach. Emma, who had never played or coached the sport, thought about something Associate Professor of Theatre and Speech Charles Krebs likes to say: "Do one thing every day that scares you,'" she recalls with a chuckle.
Her time at Lakeland came and went in a flash, but she won't soon forget the school's impact on her life.
"Lakeland molded me into the person I am today," she says. "What Lakeland builds itself on is being a community, a family. That's forever."

Wabash Theater Presents Terra Novaby Karen Handley • February 18, 2010 Share:
The Wabash College Theater Department will present its third theater production of the season, Terra Nova by Ted Tally. The play will run from February 24-27 in Ball Theater in the Fine Arts Center. The performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. each evening.
In 1911 British adventurer Robert Falcon Scott and Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen raced to be the first men to reach the South Pole. Braving a brutal, ice choked and stormy sea to reach Antarctica, the two men's expeditions set out across the most unforgiving climate on the earth. Drawn from letters and journals, Terra Nova captures the epic sweep of times and personalities when the last places on the earth had not been conquered by man. Ted Tally's play is a stirring, vast, tragic, but ultimately life affirming portrait of the best and worst in our natures.
The cast of Terra Nova includes Spencer Elliott, Cody Johnson, Gus McKinney, Alex Moseman, Luke Robbins, Clay Zook, and Rebecca Janvrin. The production is co-directed by Anthony Morton ('10) and Dwight Watson, with scene design by James Gross, costume design by Andrea Bear, lighting design by Laura Glover, and sound design by James Phillips. Jordan Plohr serves as the stage manager and Cody Grady is the technical director.
Seating for Theater productions will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Theater productions.
For tickets contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by email at email@example.com; or by phone: 765-361-6411. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4 p.m. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time. Tickets not claimed at the Box Office 10 minutes prior to curtain will be released to the general public.
The final theater production for the 2009-2010 season will be The Tempest on April 21-24.

Beastie Boys Embrace Many Different Platforms In 'Leaking' Own Album
from the having-fun-b-boy-style dept
This wasn't really part of the plan, but since this track is out there we wanted to let you hear it here first, or maybe second. EnjoyOf course, the band has also been promoting the combination half-hour movie/five minute music video thing they put together with more famous actors than any music video in the history of music videos. If you're in the US (yes, I know regional restrictions suck, but I didn't do it), you can watch the full video here:
Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the "clean" version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked. So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony.
Once again, I have no idea if this particular strategy will work, but it's always interesting to see how bands -- new and old -- look for better ways to embrace the internet.

Olivier Giroud has urged Arsenal to halt the culture of letting their best players go and start spending in the transfer market this summer.
The Gunners have fallen backwards from regular title challengers in recent years and are trophy-less in the last eight seasons, with the likes of Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri all leaving the club.
Now Arsene Wenger's side find themselves in a battle for Champions League qualification with rivals Tottenham, with four points separating the two north London clubs ahead of this weekend's fixtures.
Giroud, a summer arrival shortly before the departure of Van Persie last summer, says Arsenal can get back to the top, but they must change the way they approach buying and selling players.
"First you need to keep your best players, that's so important. After that, maybe you need more money," the French forward told Sky Sports.
"But Manchester United every year buy one or two players. They manage to keep their best players, I think that's the main thing to do."
Giroud has settled in well after a slow start to life at Arsenal following his move from Montpellier, and has nine Premier League goals to his name in 28 appearances.
The 26-year-old was close to joining German giants Bayern Munich before joining the Gunners last summer, but he says he is happy to be the latest in a long line of Frenchman plying their trade in north London.
"Munich were not ready to take a decision. I was really happy to sign for Arsenal," he explained.
"Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Sylvain Wiltord, Emmanuel Petit - there have been a lot of French players, so that's why I supported this team."
