Judith Ivey's dual talents
By Jerry Tallmer
Gus Klingman is what used to be called "sot in his ways." Amanda Cross is more adventurous. They are no spring chickens. His wife is dead, her husband is dead. He has a grown son, she has a grown daughter.
He lives alone in a three-story Victorian house in northern New Jersey, she's a visitor in town, briefly, from Johnson City, Tennessee, and it is in Gus's big, empty house that having struck up a conversation after church they now suddenly find themselves in edgy palaver about this, that, and the other thing:
AMANDA: Do you date much, Gus?
GUS: What?
AMANDA: Date. Do you go out on dates?
GUS: Why?
AMANDA: Why not?
So begins "Southern Comforts," a tart, warm-blooded, two-character play by Kathleen Clark now in previews toward its October 18 opening as a Primary Stages production at 59E59 Theaters under the guidance of Judith Ivey, who is half a much-awarded actor ("Steaming," "Hurlyburly," "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard," etc.) and, of late years, half a heralded director ("Waiting for Godot," "Steel Magnolias," and other works).
Ms. Ivey is nowhere near the age of Gus and Amanda, whom she sees as in their 70s, but she's not exactly a newcomer either.
"The very first thing I ever directed a 'Two for the Seesaw' at Westport [Conn.] Playhouse I was 42," she said before the start of rehearsals of "Southern Comforts" one recent morning. "I didn't pursue [the job]. I sort of did it as a favor for a friend who asked me, Stephen Stout. He and I had acted together.
"Then another friend, Kevin Flynn, asked me to direct his one-person show, "The Kitchen Table,' and I did that. It was at that show that Kate [Kathleen Clark] came backstage and approached me as Ivey the actress. She wanted me to be in her 'Soccer Moms' [in which a team of three moms finally beats a team of their three sons]. I read it in dining rooms and so forth and ended up directing it. Then another friend asked me "
So it's all a network?
"Yes. Incestuous."
Is there a fine line, or any line, between directing and acting?
"Yes. As a director, number one, you're The Source. Everybody comes to you for a decision. A good director is a good parent. As such, you join all these worlds together.
"And a good parent," said Ms. Ivey or Mrs. Tim Braine, the mother of two "is a good guy, who listens, makes decisions that include everybody, is not a dictator."
And an actor is … ?
"I think a good actor is a good child."
Well, actress Ivey should know. When she co-starred on Broadway with Jason Robards, Jr., in another nice two-character play, Israel Horovitz's "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" pronounced Pahk yah cah in Havahd Yahd) "Jason was just like a father to me."
We don't know just where that leaves child Robards. At any rate, a good child is a cut above what Alfred Hitchcock is famously supposed to have said what actors were cattle. Later correcting it to that he'd said they should be treated like cattle.
Judith Ivey was born in El Paso, Texas, but brought up in Marion, Illinois. Her actual father is college administrator Nathan Ivey, her mother is high-school English teacher Dorothy Lewis Ivey.
"Southern Illinois is where I discovered theater. I was an art student, and wanted to go on the school newspaper, but all the positions were filled. The only thing I could do was join the Drama Club, even if I'd never acted before. Everyone said: 'You'll never make money at it,' and here I am, 30 years later … "
The Amanda of "Southern Comforts" at 59E59 is Penny Fuller. The Gus is Larry Keith, taking over for William "Biff" McGuire, who had to drop out with a bad back. When the play was done in Florida with a different cast and a different director, around a year and a half ago, Ms. Clark asked Ms. Ivey to read it, as a friend.
"Then I stayed on a day longer to see it. The director and cast weren't coming to New York, so I threw my hat in the ring."
AMANDA: Are we talkin' about bein' roommates or bein' married?
GUS: You're talking about sex.
AMANDA: Yes, so, what's your story?
GUS: Why was I under the impression Southern women were shy and inhibited about this kind of thing?
AMANDA: Obviously you never knew any Southern women.
GUS: Obviously.
AMANDA: So.
GUS; So?
AMANDA: You interested?
"I know these two characters were based on Kate's grandparents," said the director. "Her grandmother decided to move up here [from Tennessee] when her daughter Kate's mother moved up here.
"You get the idea that Gus and Amanda enjoy making love in their 70s. And I love this play because it celebrates being alive, being human. Which is particularly important in a profession, show business, that discards people [of a certain age]. It's a lesson to all of us."
Husband Tim Braine is a television producer; their children are Maggie, 17, and Tom, 12.
"Tim and I met at a Second Stage bowling tournament 18 years ago. I was the celebrity team captain. He at the time was an executive at HBO. We both had been married before.
"I was 38 when I had my first child, here in New York at Beekman Downtown Hos-pital. On my chart it said: elderly mother. Today 38 is young. When I had my son I was 42, and they didn't put that on the chart any more."
Just put on the chart: director, quite young enough.

Andrew... think you'll have it done for DATR?The work and quality you have done it would probably do very well.
are you going to be able to pop those out while sitting in the front, or are you going to have to reach in the back to open them? I think you should automate them with some high tech thing and have a remote button on the dash
Hooray for a running car!!!

Epocrates scooped up for $293M
Cloud-based electronic health-record and practice-management provider Athenahealth is buying mobile health firm Epocrates for $293 million in cash. Athenahealth said in a statement it expects to finalize the sale by the second quarter.
The move will provide two sets of experiences for each client base. Athenahealth executives said in a broadcast that Epocrates apps and information will be embedded in their current offerings, which include payment collections service AthenaCollect and EHR service AthenaClinicals. The company said Epocrates clients will be introduced to Athenahealth capabilities on a rolling basis.
The acquisition brings together two companies that launched as the Internet boom went bust. Athenahealth, which currently has 2,000 employees and reported $324 million in revenues in 2011, was founded in 1997. Epocrates launched in 1998 and closed 2011 with revenues of $113 million. Unlike Athenahealth, whose Q3 2012 results included $106 million in revenues, up 26% from the same period the year before, Epocrates has been struggling. The San Mateo, Calif., company derived 60% of its 2011 revenues by providing a communication channel between pharmaceutical companies and healthcare practitioners through interactive services such as the clinical-message tool DocAlert and virtual sales rep services such as its Mobile Sample Closet. It also relies on HCP subscriptions, which have been dropping due to a combination of fewer offerings on iTunes and rising costs.
The company noted that throughout the previous three quarters "an unusually high number of unused license code expirations" added downward pressure on its subscription sales, and that it was hit by flagging sales of its interactive services, exacerbated by a falloff in pharmaceutical revenues, while executing a abrupt strategic change. Epocrates' first annual report for 2010 indicated that the company planned to develop and roll out an "innovative EHR solution," which would in turn, make the company's services suite an even greater part of a practitioner's daily workflow. One year later, the company noted in its 2011 annual report that its board voted to walk away from the product, bringing with it a write-down of $8.4 million in Q4 of 2011.
In addition to appointing a new CEO in May, Epocrates' 2012 milestones included the November release of the iPad version of its drug comparison app. The mobile space is a platform in which cloud-based Athenahealth said it is looking to capitalize.Athenahealth president and CEO Jonathan Bush said in his presentation that Epocrates was appealing because its services are immediately usable, and that the company wants to imbue its operations with its subsidiary's reach and skill. "We want that user experience DNA to be part of everything at Athena" he said.

Arthur in Medieval Welsh Literature
University of Wales Press, 2000 - Literary Criticism - 139 pages
Although the legends of Arthur have been popular throughout Europe from the middle ages onwards, the earliest references to Arthur are to be found in Welsh literature, starting with the Welsh-Latin Historia Brittonum which dates from the ninth century. By the twelfth century Arthur was a renowned figure wherever Welsh and its sister languages were spoken. ĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀ O.J. Padel proves an overall survey of medieval Welsh literary references to Arthur and emphasizes the importance of understanding the character and purpose of the texts in which allusions to Arthur occur. Texts from different genres are considered together and shed new light on the use which different authors make of the multifaceted figure of Arthur, from the folk legend associated with magic and animals to the literary hero, soldier and defender of country and faith. Other figures associated with Arthur, such as Cai, Bedwyr and Gwenhwyfar, are also discussed. ĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀ Arthur in Medieval Welsh Literature is an important and revealing contribution to Arthurian studies and will appeal to anyone interested in understanding more about the legends of Arthur and their sources in medieval Welsh tradition.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Champions Tour players are used to seeing low numbers in The Principal Charity Classic. The results from the first round on the tournament's new course suggest that those days could be behind them.
Tom Lehman, Duffy Waldorf, Dan Forsman and Scott Hoch shot 3-under 69 on Friday to share the lead at the Wakonda Club. The Iowa event had been held at Glen Oaks Country Club in neighboring West Des Moines in 11 of the last 12 years.
Hale Irwin, who turns 68 on Monday, topped a group of eight at 70. Defending champion Jay Haas opened with a 71, and tour points leader Bernhard Langer had a 72.
Wakonda, which was built 91 years ago, has more sloping fairways, higher rough and arguably trickier greens than Glen Oaks. Even though players were allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairways effect because of soggy conditions, low scores were hard to find.
The first-round leading score was the highest ever in Iowa - and every player had at least one bogey.
''It's kind of a mystery course, isn't it,'' Waldorf said. ''You get out here on this course and you go, 'Anything under par looks good'.''
The conditions led to a bunched leaderboard, which also featured four players tied for the first spot for the first time in tournament history.
Waldorf played the front nine in even par before a strong stretch put him atop the early leaderboard.
Waldorf birdied four of the next five holes - including successive sand wedge approaches that landed within 5 feet - to get to 3 under. Though Waldorf had to scramble for pars on the three holes, he was thrilled with his opening round.
''If you had given me 69 before the round I would have said 'Oh yeah,''' Waldorf said.
Forsman's day was defined by an adventurous birdie on the par-5 13th hole.
He hit his drive in the rough, followed by a 5-iron that whacked a tree. He punched his next shot over the green, leaving him about 70 feet from the hole. But Forsman chipped it over a ridge, down a slope and into the cup.
''It's a huge bonus,'' Forsman said. ''And yet, when it goes in, I said to my caddie, ''That's why we hit all those pitch shots this week.' It was tongue-in-cheek, but I was trying to plug that into the subconscious, so next time I'm in that position I'll have a similar outcome.''
Lehman had four birdies on the back nine, including one on No. 18, to pull even with Waldorf and Forsman. Hoch also birdied the 311-yard, par-4 18th, which ranked as the course's second-easiest hole, to reach 3 under.
Haas entered play with a chance to become just the third Champions Tour player to win the same event four times. After a rough start, he put himself in position for a move on Saturday.
Haas bogeyed three of his first six holes, and a 6 on the par-5 15th put him 1 over, but he closed with a birdie.
Langer needed birdies on holes No. 17 and 18 to get to 72 after a nasty double-bogey on the previous hole.
David Frost, third in the Schwab Cup standings, picked up six bogeys en route to a 5-over 77.
Unknown Doug Garwood, who had played just three events on the Web.com Tour since 2005, stunned the field by pulling into a tie for the lead after 14 holes. But Garwood bogeyed the 15th and 16th holes and had to settle for a 70.
Des Moines avoided rain Friday, but there's a chance the course could see some light showers on Saturday.

When word comes that one of our own, broke a moral code we live by ... it hits home, and it hits home hard. This week, a former Custer County Chief publisher, Jon Flatland, was exposed as a serial plagiarist. To me, that is nothing short of fraud. The article on the front page tells it like it is. And because he was involved at this newspaper, the very newspaper where my roots run deep, I find myself bewildered, disgusted, and offended. No, wait, he was more than involved, he penned articles and columns on these very pages. We trusted his words to be his own. And now you, our loyal readers, have the right to know that what he is being accused of goes way back. It predates his tenure at the Chief. Which means the accusations extend to our backyard. And we didn't know, we had no clue, until now. The information on his exposure is reprinted with the permission of the Poynter Institute, the organization to the best of my knowledge, researched the story, wrote the story, and then placed the story on the web. A fellow journalist, and former Chief employee brought it to my attention. First, something about Poynter. I want to set the record straight by starting with the reputation of the reporting institution. Poynter is one of the premier (and to some thee premier) journalism educational institution in the United States today. And it doesn't stop there, they teach, tutor and instruct in classrooms all over the world. One of their key focuses is on 'ethical decision-making and the power of diversity' to quote their website. I believe those words to be true. This is one of those sources that when they ... the writers, the teachers, the thinkers of the institute, those in their think tank have something to say, I tend to listen. The bottom line ... ethics count We have a critical role in the newspaper industry. I believe our jobs as the historical record keepers to be excruciatingly important. No, we don't always get it right, but we try. Yes, we are overworked, and maybe even under paid. Journalism isn't a job you go into for the money. You go into it because you are driven. You strongly believe in the public's right to know, and you are willing to fight for the principles you stand on. You, our readers, have the right to know how your tax dollars are spent and how the decisions are made. Those decisions have to be made in open meetings, never behind closed doors. You have the right to know when it is a felony who did the crime, and you need to know that our decision whether or not to publish is always made on the action, and never on the name. We will never withhold that information based on who someone's family ties, nor on dollars and cents. There is no gray area in this matter, nor will there ever be, at least not on my watch. We have the obligation to base our news on the day-to-day events that form our lives. We are your record keepers, your personal historical scribes. It's our job to always ask ... who cares? If the public cares, so should we. If they are talking about it, so should we. And if they don't care, the question needs to be asked, should they? It's our job to live, work and be involved in the communities where we live. We are living the historical journey we are writing about. We have the pleasure of covering the good, and the obligation to cover the bad. This is who we are and what we do. In a community the size of ours, when we cover a tragedy, there is a good chance we know the victim. We know the victim's family, and we grieve as they grieve. We are impacted by the very news we write about. The ethics I talk about goes to our very core. It is the cornerstone we build our papers on. When we report ... if there is a byline the words are ours. If they aren't ours, it is our job to attribute where they came from. To do anything less is fraud. To do anything else is stealing. When we take a picture ... it is what it is. If there is a telephone pole coming out of a head - so be it. It is what it is. Anything less in a news photo is fraud. As publisher, there is no place for plagiarism. There is no room. Either the words are yours, or they are someone elses. It deserves no discussion. The ethics of our profession are that important. Without ethics, without these moral building blocks, we are nothing. For you, our readers deserve nothing less. This is that important. I can't tell you if the columns Flatland wrote for the Chief were his or not. Not yet ... but I will. For Flatland to routinely, as the Poynter article states, take words from others and slap his name on it is fraud. Their research claims it dates back decades. This is stealing, and it makes me angry. According to Andrew Breaujon's article for Poynter, Flatland was fired from the Cavalier County Republican in Langdon, N.D., in the 1990s for plagiarism. He served as the Custer County Chief publisher from June 2001 - August 2002. Poynter also wrote that after Flatland was accused by David Fox of stealing his work, he resigned by email from his current job with the Times in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, and "quickly and quietly left town." Breaujon writes that in the email, the Times publisher Rick Bussler "characterized Flatland's email of resignation as saying something like, 'Sorry, it's true and I'm out of here. Flatland told Bussler he was leaving newspapering." In the words of Special Agent Jethro Gibbs - OK I watch NCIS ... "Ya Think?"

Body size is no guide to passing morning-after breathalyser
Men thinking body size will allow them to beat the morning-after breathalyser is the height of folly, according to a survey.
Tests show that height and weight of drinkers has little or no bearing on their fitness to drive the day after an alcohol-fuelled evening.
Yet 77 per cent of drivers reckon body size is important when it come to how quickly the body processes alcohol, a poll from Direct Line car insurance has showed.
And 70 per cent believe gender is also a vital factor in determining whether someone is legally fit to drive, said the poll which was also conducted by breathalyser company AlcoSense.
The two organisations joined the Transport Research Laboratory for an experiment.
A man weighing 11st 6lb (73kg) and just under 5ft 10in (177cm) tall and a woman weighing 9st 6lb (60kg) and 5ft 5in (165cm) were tested after consuming the same amount of alcohol.
Tested the next morning, the woman was well below the permitted alcohol level while the man was over the limit.
The survey also found that 25 per cent of drinkers knock back lots of water before they go to bed, while eight per cent eat large quantities of food after a night's drinking.
Next day, six per cent have a big breakfast and drink lots of coffee before driving.
Simon Henrick of Direct Line said: "Drivers are taking a huge risk if they are relying on rough calculations and unproven theories to see whether they are safe to drive their car the morning after the night before.
"Our study shows that, despite what people may think, there is no magic equation to work out if you are safe to drive the following morning."

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Melco Crown Entertainment and MGM Resorts
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 3, 2013) - Shares of major casino stocks surged this week after a report from Macau regulators showed casino revenues in the Chinese gambling mecca hit a new record in December. The Market Vectors Gaming ETF (BJK) started the year with a 3.5 percent gain on Wednesday. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Resorts & Casinos Industry and provides equity research on Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd.

Stories of growing up as a missionary kid, plus an interview with singer-songwriter Sara Groves, and a question about race in church. Featured musical artist: Sara Groves
[28:01] -
I was never a missionary kid, but because my parents were missionaries before I was born, I've inherited some of the MK baggage, both good and bad. What's it like to grow up in another country? What's it like to eventually transition back to life in your native land? Do missionaries get a bad rap as entitled, whiny martyrs, or are they elevated as super-saints? Three MKs join me this week to discuss life with one foot in each of two (or more) cultures.
[29:30] -
Yes, she did. She and her husband, Troy, bought a 100-year-old church in St. Paul, Minn. Find out why in my interview with this singer-songwriter (her new album is Invisible Empires) as we discuss music, marriage, procrastination and Sara's passion for the work of International Justice Mission.
[7:05] -
Our listener wonders why, if heaven will be a melting pot of every tongue and tribe, are today's churches so racially divided? Do we not know what it means to be the church, or are we just more comfortable hanging out with people who look like us? Pastor Wade Brown is in the studio with some ideas.

Building owners/managers are really searching for more ways to significantly reduce operating costs [while still] becoming Greener and more sustainable,. Being 'lean and Green' are no longer goals, they're marching orders."
Bloomington, IN (PRWEB) November 01, 2011
Among building owners and managers, interest in the Sustainability Dashboard Tool, officially introduced at the GreenBuild 2011 Expo in October, has been "swift and significant," reports Stephen Ashkin, CEO of Sustainable Dashboard Tools, LLC.
Ashkin, known as "the father of Green Cleaning," attributes much of the interest to the struggling global economy.
"Building owners/managers are really searching for more ways to significantly reduce operating costs [while still] becoming Greener and more sustainable," says Ashkin. "Being 'lean and Green' are no longer goals, they're marching orders."
The Sustainability Dashboard is a Web-based program that helps facilities measure and manages up to six key categories involved in most building operations. These include:
- Energy
- Waste/recycling
- Water
- Transportation
- Consumables (such as office supplies)
- Cleaning products
This information also helps owners/manager track associated costs for water, energy, etc., as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, Brandywine Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust that owns, develops, and manages a portfolio of primarily Class-A facilities, uses the Dashboard in 86 of its locations.
"The Dashboard gives us greater [insight] into how dollars are spent and will help us more consistently measure and manage costs across our entire portfolio," says Brad A. Molotsky, with Brandywine Environments, a division of the company.
Rating systems such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the Global Reporting Initiative, and Energy Star inspired development of the Sustainability Dashboard, according to Ashkin.
"But my goal with the Dashboard is not just to measure consumption in a facility…but to help people effect real, meaningful change [and] become more environmentally responsible by making data-driven decisions."
Ashkin says the system will next be on display at the upcoming ISSA/INTERCLEAN® tradeshow in Las Vegas. "Sustainablity is the next step in Green Cleaning so I hope to help the [professional cleaning] industry realize its importance."

Path of Exile: Sacrifice of the Vaal Gets an Official Trailer; Full Details (Finally) Revealed
Posted: 10:11PM
Author: ClayMeow
After two weeks of teasers, Grinding Gear Games has finally released the full details on Path of Exile's first mini-expansion, Sacrifice of the Vaal, along with the official trailer. As we already knew, Sacrifice of the Vaal revolves around Atziri, Queen of the Vaal. She has risen from the grave after two thousand years and now seeks to corrupt the land of Wraeclast to restore her beauty. Unsurprisingly, Queen Atziri will be the final boss encounter in the game, designed for high-level characters. "In order to gain access to Atziri's lair, you must collect fragments from Vaal-influenced areas throughout Wraeclast," which are then combined to create "six portals to the Apex of Sacrifice." Queen Atziri will not be the only boss you face though – before you can even get to her, you'll have to fight through several other deadly bosses.
While defeating Queen Atziri is the ultimate goal, there's a lot more to Sacrifice of the Vaal, with its content "layered throughout the entire Path of Exile experience." The way you acquire Vaal Fragments is by uncovering and conquering secrete corrupted areas, indicated by "a glowing, beating heart and swirling ribbons of blood." These corrupted areas are similar to end-game maps, so expect them to be rather difficult to take on without a friend. "At the heart of each corrupted area is a new boss monster, guarding a chest that is guaranteed to drop a Vaal Skill Gem or Vaal Fragment."
Vaal Skill Gems are essentially "the ultimate version of many contemporary Path of Exile skills." What sets them apart from normal skill gems aside from their devastating power, is that they're charged up by killing enemies. Some Vaal Skills will simply unleash all the power you've stored, while others can be used multiple times when fully charged. The other major new item introduced with Sacrifice of the Vaal is the Vaal Orb. Vaal Orbs allow you to intentionally corrupt your equipment, which "can yield unpredictable and powerful results." There are many possible outcomes and depends on the type of item, but the side effect is that it prevents the item from any further modification. "Corruption is currently the only way to obtain white sockets, certain implicit mods, gems with level or quality higher than 20, maps with eight mods, and various other exotic item states."
Along with the changes to the default game, two new Challenge Leagues are being introduced: Ambush and Invasion. Ambush is the Standard League and features strongboxes guarded by monsters that ambush the player when they are opened. In order to claim the strongbox's contents, all the ambushing monsters must be killed. Invasion is the Hardcore League and features monsters invading from other levels or acts. There will be "a unique boss monster from an invading monster type [...] lurking in each level, with powerful combinations of skills to catch the player off-guard." Since it's a Hardcore League, if you die, your character is "demoted" to a Standard character.
Due to all the unique monsters in the Invasion League, not to mention the secret Vaal-corrupted areas, over 60 new boss monsters will be added to Path of Exile when Sacrifice of the Vaal goes live. Grinding Gear has designed them to be especially lethal, featuring "advanced combinations of skills and support gems" that have never been seen in Path of Exile until now. For players that get tired of fighting AI, there will be a new long-term Cut-throat PvP mode, along with a free-for-all PvP area called The Sarn Arena.
The full patch notes for Sacrifice of the Vaal will be released on March 3, with the update going live at 1PM US Pacific Time on March 5. The first 50 players to defeat Atziri in each of the new challenge leagues will receive an exclusive cosmetic microtransaction effect.

text: Hewlett-Packard today officially unveiled the world's first mobile workstation Ultrabook, a cherry to top a lollapalooza of expansions to its Z-Series line of desktop workstations and displays with improved processor performance, and memory and storage capacities. Jeff Wood, HP's vice president of worldwide marketing, served as anchor at a confidential media and analyst briefing in New York last week. He described a demand for high-end workstations coming from media, finance, health care, education and other industries, with a diminishing number of companies to fill it. "SGI is gone. IBM is out, and Sun is nowhere to be found," he said. "And we're not going private," he said in an apparent jab at Dell, which along with Lenovo is the only other major company with a significant share of the segment. IDC's 2Q13 workstation tracker report shows HP leading the pack with a 42.5 percent share, followed by Dell at 34.9 percent and Lenovo at 20.9 percent. All tolled, HP announced three all-new mobile workstations, updates to as many desktop workstations and a pair of new displays, all wrapped in simplified Z-Series branding. Here's a look at each new product, their specifications and availabilities.

Tired of egg nog, gingerbread cookies and cleaning up after the Christmas rush? Head on out to Siena Heights University for some high school basketball action to break up the holiday madness.
The fourth annual Siena Heights University Holiday Tournament co-sponsored by D1 Sports Academy takes place beginning Friday with four games (two varsity, two junior varsity) and concludes Saturday. The event gets under way at 2:30 p.m. Friday with the boys junior varsity teams from Lenawee Christian and Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central going toe-to-toe with JV teams from Addison and Madison playing the 4 p.m. game. The varsity counterparts of those four teams will begin with the same matchups at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., respectively, giving hard-nosed basketball fans a full day of enjoyment.
There will be no girls tournament this year for the first time.
On Saturday, the junior varsity consolation game will begin at 3 p.m. with the JV championship set for 4:30 p.m. while the varsity consolation tips off the evening session at 6 p.m., followed by the varsity title game at 7:30 p.m.
The Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central boys are the defending tournament champion, but the three local entries are all looking to dethrone the Falcons to store the trophy somewhere in Lenawee County. St. Mary CC is 2-1 early in the season and they are led by a rugged inside presence of 6-foot-6 bookends Brad Sherman and Nick Burman, both seniors. The Falcons rely on some seasoned guards to get the ball inside to the "bigs" with juniors Noah Martin and Bryce Windham along with sophomore Stephan Umfress.
There will be plenty of Lenawee County "bigs" on the court, as well, led by the Addison trio of 6-11 Central Michigan University signee Luke Meyer, 6-9 Tyler Corbin and 6-8 Paul Zysk, along with 6-4 Gabe Guerra. Addison is 2-0 thus far and Meyer has 41 points and 27 rebounds in those two games. Corbin is averaging 13 points per game.
Madison has won two of its first three games this season and always brings a fundamental brand of basketball to the court. So far Collin Slates has led the Trojans in scoring at 15 points per game while 6-6 junior Prince Benson is the go-to guy in the middle, but it will be key for him to stay out of foul trouble if the Trojans want a chance to win.
Lenawee Christian won its opening three games before running into a Detroit Allen squad that took off in the second half and never looked back.
The Cougars are led by veteran four-year member Grant Hohlbein and three-year varsity player Brad Harrah.
Admission to the tournament is $5.

Burda WOF black dress
Added Nov 21, 2007
by pinkhibiscus
Ithaca, New York...
This is dress 106 from the August issue, the one that "called for Vilene tape". I ended up using fusible interfacing on the facing pieces, then after I was done sewing and wore it, the fusible sort of ripped because the fabric was so stretchy…so I removed a big part of the interfacing…I hope it will still stay…I also stay stitched the curves of the front pieces before pinning. Some new things I tried: 1. The stretch stitch function of my machine. (following burda instructions)— sews slow and gives almost no room for alteration(very dense stitches) but seams really are stretchy! amazing… 2. Twin needles for top stitch—didn't master it…my sleeve hem are a little bit bulging and for the hem I tried half way then ripped it off and turned to hem tape instead. Overall, I like the curves on the front, the ruching details, but the dress came out a little bit long….I guess I'm petite sized. In the future I will remember to shorten dress hems when I cut :p
Material Notes
very stretchy medium weight cotton rayon jersey. fall/winter weight.

Philo, I used regular non-knit interfacing…I don't really know what it is but it tears. I think I should've used a stay tape or clear elastic instead of interfacing. Maybe you can try that :).
Nov 23, 2007, 02.24 PMby philo
Very elegant, very flattering, and oddly enough cozy-looking! Did you use tricot (knitted) interfacing, or regular non-woven? I wonder if that would fix the problem or not? I haven't sewn much with knits before, but I want to.
Nov 21, 2007, 03.30 PMby emilykate
Ah, very nice, this is one I have considered making soon, you did a lovely job!

looks great! I've got that issue, too. :)

Chances are that if you are a regular Asphalt & Rubber reader, that means you are a pretty tech savvy person. So first of all, congratulations on your choice to get your motorcycle news and opinions in digital form, rather than waiting three months for the print guys to get their act together. Huzzah!
Of course, this also means that you have had to suffer through the endless onslaught of "Top 5" lists that have inundated motorcycle "journalism" the past year or so. I'm pretty sure that in a few years, we will look back at the whole BuzzFeedification of news as the second worst idea to hit motorcycle journalism, right behind the idea of a content paywall — but I digress.
That being said, I did want to share with our A&R readers five apps that I use on my iPhone everyday, that maybe you haven't stumbled upon. So in the interest of better living through technology and all that jazz, I've created my own little Top 5 list — Yes, I've died a little bit on the inside because of this article.
Hopefully though there are couple apps on my list that you haven't heard of, which will cause the overlap of your Venn diagram of "motorcycles" and "technology" to grow just a little bit more, and those make my personal ethical sacrifice worthwhile.
I realize in advance that this list leans towards iOS users. I'm hoping commenters will leave a few apps in the comments section that I might have missed (especially on other platforms), so we can spread the love around.

Organic Nerone a true black rice...Smells like a cross between sandal-wood and just baked bread. Nerone is sometimes refered to as Venere.
Obtained from the combination of an old and particular variety of Chinese rice, which was appreciated at the court of ancient Chinese emperors for its nutritional and aphrodisiac properties, from which the name forbidden rice derives.
Today it is grown in particular areas of Italy's Po valley.
Nerone rice boasts extraordinary nutritional properties: rich in fiber and phosphorus, it also contains such minerals as calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium.
This whole meal rice is pleasantly aromatic, and when it is cooked (which takes 35 minutes), it releases a particular aroma midway between sandalwood and just-baked bread.
It owes its naturally black color to the particular pigmentation of the pericarp (the light skin that covers the grain), while the inside of the grain is white like in all other rice varieties.
After cooking, the grain maintains its compactness, and is well separated.
It is ideal as a side-dish to meat or fish; it can also be simply boiled in salt water and seasoned with oil or butter, or cooked as pilaf.
1.1 lb. Imported from Italy.

I love to serve this rice with a beautifully griiled filet of salmon. The color combination on the plate looks amazing and the nutty flavor of the rice is wonderful! You need to try it!

My hubby and I weren't sure what we were going to get, but we are adventuresome. Very pleased! Great flavor (unique, not too strong) and texture. Cooking instructions were not clear. So we used standard 1 cup rice to 2 cup water and it worked well.Looking forward to finishing the rice with a good grill-cooked veggie dinner soon!

Numbers down in those seeking unemployment benefits
Washington (AP) - The number of people seeking unemployment benefits is down to the levels from before the recession. Applications fell last week by 9,000 to a seasonally-adjusted 336,000. But, while companies are firing fewer workers, they generally are not hiring many new ones. Hiring has slowed in recent months, instead of accelerating.

Opening essays for Making History / Making Art / MICA have been written by Baltimore Museum of Art Director Doreen Bolger, 1976 alumnus Jeff Koons, President Fred Lazarus, and Walters Art Museum Director Gary Vikan. Hundreds of alumni, faculty, trustees, staff , and friends provided invaluable information, recollections, memorabilia, and encouragement for the project. The oversized, full-color, hard-cover, Smyth-bound book—an artwork in itself—was designed by Pentagram, namely faculty member Abbott Miller and Jeremy Hoffman '00 (graphic design), and printed locally in Sparks, Md., by Schmitz Press.
Having trouble seeing this video? Click here.
The book looks at how the visual arts and those who create them have an indelible influence on all of us as individuals and as members of the global society. So how do you prepare young creative students to become artist citizens who will contribute and make a difference today--and tomorrow? Told from the perspective of one of the nation's oldest art colleges, this is the story of how the education of the artist evolved over nearly two centuries at MICA--today's leading college of art in the nation.
From its roots as the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, the College's history spans the great advances in technology of the Industrial Revolution to the fast-paced, ever changing technology from the Digital Age. It is a story of a resilient institution that endured the upheavals of Civil, World and Cold wars, the Great Fire of Baltimore and the Great Depression, the politically tumultuous Sixties and the sobering realities of the 21st century-and not only survived but thrived. The threads of MICA's history are interwoven with those of America itself, with links to historical and cultural icons, including Noah Webster, Abraham Lincoln, Louis Kahn, Alistaire Cooke, Grace Hartigan, and Robert Rauschenberg.
Making History / Making Art chronicles how MICA's educational program has evolved from the strictly prescribed European Classical definition of "what art is" to a contemporary model that also embraces blurring the boundaries of "what is art?" Maintaining a balance that practices and celebrates both tradition and innovation is fundamental to the College's teaching philosophy and a central element to MICA's success-and the success of the students who are adept with a paint brush and a computer and equally comfortable creating with both. The book addresses how the art college of today must be a major player in the sustainability of our society, an incubator for creative problem solving on a global scale. MICA today reflects this and is a leader in shaping the educational process for tomorrow's creative class.

Fabregas backs Arsenal
Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is adamant his old club can challenge for the Premier League title this season.
Fabregas, now at Barcelona, has also insisted he is happy to fight for his place at the Catalan club - after rumours about his future emerged following a start to the season which has seen him frequently substituted.
The Gunners continued a promising start to the new campaign with a 6-1 demolition of Southampton on Saturday, and Fabregas is confident Arsene Wenger's new-look side can keep pace with the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United.
"Arsene Wenger is amazing and I'm sure he will prove it again this season," Fabregas told the Sun. "He always finds the best young talent in Europe and has the courage to bring them in and give them their chance.
"That is his special talent, the way he works with a player to build their confidence and encourage them to play, to perform at their best.
"That's why I'm confident that Arsenal will again be up there challenging."
As for his current fight for a first-team place at the Nou Camp, Fabregas accepts that he has to prove his worth at the club week-in, week-out, if he is to remain key to Tito Vilanova's plans.
"I said when I signed here that it was going to be the most exciting and difficult challenge of my life," he said. "I knew I was coming here to compete for a place against the best players in the world.
"But I like big challenges. If I didn't, I would have stayed at Arsenal where I was the captain, where I played every game and where I was treated so well.
"I would never have taken the big step and the huge risk to sign for Barca and fight with the best players in the world for a place in the team - especially as there were never any guarantees given that I would play.
"I have a big heart, I have a strong character and I have the courage to carry on competing for my place. It's a challenge I always wanted and it's just as hard as I expected, mainly because I am impatient to succeed.
"Both teams play similar football. But at Barcelona they have taught me if I stay in my position the ball will come to me and I will see far more of it than if I go looking for it.
"It has been a big change but I'm learning very fast now and my team-mates have been amazingly supportive. I know that I can succeed here."

No. 7 Fullerton Pulls Off Weekend Sweep Of No. 14 Stanford
March 2, 2009
Courtesy of Fullerton
Fullerton, Calif. - Junior right fielder Khris Davis was 4-for-4 and belted three home runs and drove in six to propel No. 7 Cal State Fullerton to a 9-3 victory over visiting No. 14 Stanford Sunday afternoon at Goodwin Field.
With the win the Titans completed the weekend sweep of the Cardinal and improve to 5-2 on the year, conversely, Stanford falls to 2-5. The sweep for Fullerton over Stanford is the first since the opening weekend of the 2007 season.
Davis was the star of the show on Sunday homering in his first three at bats to becoming the first Titan since Aaron Rifkin in the 2001 Super Regional to collect a trio of round-trippers in a game. The Glendale, Arizona-native hit his first two home runs off eventual losing pitcher Max Fearnow (0-1), the second knocking the Cardinal hurler out of the game with two out in the third. His third of the day came off reliever Jordan Pries in the sixth.
Tyler Pill (1-0) was the beneficiary of Davis' power surge, as the freshman picked up his first career win after tossing 5. 1 innings of four-hit ball. Pill struck out five and walked one and allowed just two runs, the first a home run by Zach Jones in the third inning, the second coming on an RBI-single by Kellen Kiilsgaard in the sixth.
The Titans took a five one lead after three, thanks to Davis and a Nick Ramirez RBI-fielder's choice to drive in Christian Colon who had doubled to lead off the inning. They extended to 6-2 with Davis' third home run, then put the game out of reach with a three-run seventh inning off Pries. Colon scored the Titans' seventh run on a Drew Storen wild pitch and the eighth and ninth runs came across on RBI-singles by Jared Clark and Davis, with Davis finishing his day with a perfect 4-for-4 performance.
Stanford starter Fearnow worked a total of 2.2 innings on the mound, and allowed six of the Titans' 10 total hits while allowing five earned runs. Pries worked four innings in relief while allowing four additional runs.
After Pill, the Titans used five relievers (Jason Dovel, Noe Ramirez, Ryan Ackland, Kyle Mertins and Michael Morrison) the final 3. 2 innings, with Mertins allowing the only Stanford run from the pen.
Colon and Dustin Garneau had two hits apiece, joining Davis with multi-hit performances on the afternoon. Jones and Kiilsgaard had two each for Stanford.

Supreme Court justices seemed ready Wednesday to adjust the legal leash on drug-sniffing dogs, in two high-profile cases arising out of Florida.
With a battery of pointed questions, justices voiced skepticism about a Florida Supreme Court ruling that imposed strict criteria for determining when a dog is qualified to help make a drug bust. At the same time, court conservatives joined liberals in suggesting that a police canine sniffing at the front door of a suspected drug house may be a search that triggers constitutional protections.
"It seems to me crucial that this officer went onto the portion of the house as to which there is privacy, and used a means of discerning what was in that house that should not have been available," Justice Antonin Scalia said at one point.
The two cases heard separately Wednesday morning will help shape law enforcement agencies' growing canine dependency. Twenty-four states – including Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and Idaho – have sided with Florida law enforcement officials, noting in a legal brief that "drug-detecting canines are one of the essential weapons in the states' arsenal to combat this illegal traffic."
While tracking questions can lead court observers astray, a majority of the justices who spoke Wednesday sounded protective of the privacy inherent in a home. In a previous case that involved thermal imagers used to locate household marijuana-growing operations, the court said obtaining details of the home's interior was a search that required a warrant under the Fourth Amendment. Similar reasoning could apply to a dog's finely tuned nose, some justices hinted Wednesday.
"Doesn't that mean that what's in your home that's not visible to the public has an expectation of privacy as well?" Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked attorney Gregory C. Garre, who's representing Florida in both cases.
Garre's response that people can't expect privacy "when it comes to contraband" was flatly rejected by Justice Anthony Kennedy, who's a frequent swing vote on close decisions. Kennedy and Scalia, both Republican appointees, joined Sotomayor and several other Democratic appointees in repeatedly challenging Florida's case.
"When a police officer takes a narcotic detection dog up to the front door of the house, that is also a Fourth Amendment search because that is a physical trespass upon the constitutionally protected area . . . of the home," added Howard K. Blumberg, a Miami-based assistant public defender.
Blumberg represents Joelis Jardines, who was living in south Miami-Dade County in 2006. Franky, a chocolate Labrador retriever who's since retired, and his human partner with the Miami-Dade Police Department approached the Jardines' home on Dec. 5, 2006. Franky sniffed at the front door and then sat down, an alert sign.
Police subsequently raided the house and found more than 25 pounds of marijuana. Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. sounded sympathetic to the state's cause.
"You may have an expectation of privacy in the marijuana plants, but you don't have an expectation of privacy in the odor, because you're emitting it out into the world, and it's the odor that was detected," Roberts reasoned.
The second case heard Wednesday involved Aldo, a German shepherd who was on patrol the afternoon of June 24, 2006, with his human partner from the Liberty County Sheriff's Department in Florida's panhandle. The deputy pulled over a pickup with an expired tag. Aldo alerted, and the deputy found 200 pseudoephedrine pills, which can be used to make methamphetamine.
A divided Florida Supreme Court subsequently ruled that Aldo's alert was insufficient to show probable cause for a follow-up search, because of questions about the dog's reliability. The state court spelled out a series of records that law enforcement agencies must be prepared to provide to demonstrate a drug-sniffing dog's reliability. State officials call this burdensome, and a number of justices seemed to agree.
"Why is that the right list?" Justice Stephen Breyer asked. "I mean, what in the Constitution requires that list?"
Tallahassee-based assistant public defender Glen P. Gifford asserted that firm requirements are needed because "officers like to search so they can get probable cause so that they can advance their career," but Scalia seemed to speak for other justices when he countered that officers "like to search where they're likely to find something, and that only exists when the dog is well-trained."
Justice Clarence Thomas, following his customary practice, remained silent throughout the oral arguments. Decisions in the two cases, Florida v. Jardines and Florida v. Harris, are expected by the end of the court's term next June.
