Neily was blessed to study the remarkable color and majestic quality of these original Parrish paintings throughout her early years. Neily remembers going into the State Street bank when she was very small and seeing what was probably the fist original painting she had ever seen. It was a Maxfield Parrish. She held her mothers hand and stared up at a beautiful portrayal of an oak tree before a magnificent sunset sky. It is possible that her life spent following her passion for painting was decided in that moment.
It was 20 years later when Neily met another great colorist, Henry Hensche and she once again became fascinated by the artists use of color, so much so that she spent the following 15 years studying light and color with Henry Hensche at the Cape Shool in Provincetown Ma.. Henry Hensche, master Impressionist served as assistant to Charles Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899. Today Neily is a master painter in her own right, and is considered to be one of the Cape School's most adept practitioners.
Neily started showing professionally in 1969. She has shown extensively in New England ,New York and Florida since then. She continues to study color in the natural light working outside on location and studying still -life in the north light inside. She explores various mediums and is currently painting and teaching at The Cape School of Art workshops on light and color. Neily feels blessed to live in Provincetown ,the oldest continuous art colony in the country, and to be able to experience there the most magnificent light a painter can paint.

I am the operator of Tysto.com, a web magazine where my articles and photos can be found, including those I freely upload to Wikimedia Commons.
Although I feel my primary value to Wikipedia is in providing high-quality, high-resolution photographs of interesting places, I also like helping to keep Wikipedia concise, relevant, and encyclopedic in tone. I frequently edit articles for spelling, tone, flow, and point of view rather than to add information.
I am a devoted enemy of fan zeal, television minutia, band vanity, lists for the sake of lists, infotisements, transportation nerdery, and all ephemera. I am a card-carrying member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians. I believe that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to document everything that is notable, not everything that is true. I believe that non-notable articles hurt Wikipedia's performance, confuse casual users, and make it harder for people to find genuinely valuable information.

The need for SNFS for baby boomers
Mary Fran Thaler
As we grow older, our focus on how to achieve and maintain our health becomes more acute. Healthy aging is achievable if action is taken sooner rather than later. Over the last few decades, we have seen major changes in our healthcare delivery system. One of those changes is the expansion of rehabilitation services delivery within the skilled nursing facility, long-term care environment. This expansion was, in part, fueled by the increased use of nursing facility services by members of the baby boomer generation. Baby boomers expect to remain independent, self-sufficient and living in the community well into their ninth decade. Rehabilitation services are focused on helping baby boomers achieve these goals.
Current estimates are that 37% of all acute hospitalizations require post-acute care services. When certain specialized health services and follow-up care are needed, there are a variety of different settings where these services can be received. These services are described collectively as post-acute care. A skilled nursing facility is one of the settings where post-acute care can be received.
Skilled nursing facilities have seen a tremendous growth in short term rehabilitation admissions due to the growing demand by baby boomers. Nursing facilities are no longer just a destination but rather a stage in the recovery process. No matter if a person is recovering from a stroke, fracture or a prolonged hospitalization, the skilled interventions provided by the care team of physicians, nurses and therapists assists in the recovery process through high quality and compassionate care. Care team members incorporate new technology, in addition to standard medical and rehabilitation approaches, to maximize treatment outcomes in order to reach the highest level of recovery in the shortest period of time.
Rehabilitation therapists can assist residents in understanding the physical changes related to health conditions. By anticipating what the future may hold based on one's medical condition, a rehabilitation therapist can assist the resident in compensating for these changes. A customized exercise program is designed to promote strength, endurance and function. For example, if someone has experienced a stroke, the therapist educates him or her on the after-effects of the stroke. Suggestions may include a knee brace, or adaptive feeding devices. Each rehabilitation plan of care should be based on the individual's specific needs and personal goals.
The rehabilitation therapist can assist a resident in regaining and maintaining these skills by designing an exercise and activity program individualized to you. Through continued exercise and activity, the resident should be encouraged to take a proactive approach to maintaining or improving your health, no matter what the age.
For a person who has been recently hospitalized and needs some time to recover, a short term stay in a post-acute service is recommended. Often, after a hospital stay, one's ability to move around is limited. The resident may experience pain and discomfort when trying to complete activities of daily living. The hospital may suggest a brief stay in a sub-acute program.
This is one of the reasons for the Hebrew Home at Riverdale's Post-Acute Servics, where therapy is designed around specific goals.
Mary Fran Thaler is the Vice President of Administration at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale and a licensed physical therapist.

Tami Lund is a funny and prolific author and I am delighted to introduce you to her. Tami, Please tell us a little about yourself.
I am a hopeless romantic, and have been since I read my first Sweet Valley High book. Actually, I'm sure it started well before that point, because I remember when I was young, really young, that I was forever begging my mother to let me keep the latest stray animal I happened across, because the poor thing could not possibly survive without our love and affection.
In between rescuing stray animals, I was a huge bookworm, and I loved writing as much as reading, as far back as middle school. By high school, I had been convinced I would become a writer. Unfortunately, in college, I decided writing wasn't a sensible career choice, so I majored in public relations, which led to careers in event management and hotel sales, and eventually during the recession I was laid off from said sensible career. That was when all those characters and plots that had been hiding in the deep, dark recesses of my mind suddenly demanded my attention. Actually, they practically slapped me in the face for waiting so long to acknowledge them.
Since then, I've published eleven books, with one more coming out this month, another next month, and yet another scheduled for April 2015. I guess you could say I've become obsessed.
Outside of my fantasy world, I actually have my own reality, a husband, two beautiful children, and a furbaby, who, you will be shocked to note, we rescued and adopted just a few months ago. It occurs to me that every pet I have ever had was rescued in one way or another. Did I mention bleeding heart romantic?
I love firsts, so tell me about the moment when you found you'd made your first sale.
Well, that's a little tricky. I self-published my first book in 2010. I literally uploaded it to Amazon and did nothing else. I was so clueless. In January 2013, I self-published my second book, The Resort, which was the beginning of a five book series. By then, I had learned a thing or two, and actually spent a little time promoting it. Imagine my shock when, a month later, I received a royalty payment from Amazon!
If it isn't too nosy . . . (well of course it is!) How about the first time you kissed your true love?
Defintiely romance worthy. Love it.
Other than your own, who are your favorite (heroes/heroines/writers) in your genre?
I have a few I can think of right off the bat. I am not monogamous to my book boyfriends, unfortunately for them. I love Drake Vireo from Katie Macalister's Dragon Series. He has been my longest standing book boyfriend. I also utterly adore Phineas Tucker from Jennifer Crusie's Welcome to Temptation. I love a hero who doesn't take himself too seriously. In fact, Phin inspired my hero, Brandon, from Candy Crush. Uh oh, does that mean I wrote fan fiction? Anyway, my third and most recent book boyfriend is Sage, the hero from Rebekah Ganier's book, Snow the Vampire Slayer. He's laid back, confident, and charming, despite incredibly dire circumstances during most of the book. All top book boyfriend characteristics, in my world.
What is the most exciting moment, so far, in your writing career?
Into the Light, which was published in July 2014.
What is your favorite pastime, other than writing?
Drinking wine. No wait, I do that while I'm writing. Reading and gardening are my top two fave pastimes, neither of which I ever have enough time to do.
What's your snack of choice while writing?
Wine. Preferably red.
Got a recipe you want to share?
Ha ha. I'm not the cook in my family. Far from it. My hubs is, in fact, a phenomenal chef. I maintain that he missed his calling, although I'm grateful he practices his skill on the family. Also note, this is why you often see chefs as characters in my books. I think it's sexy to be able to cook well.
Any advice for new writers just starting out?
My advice is no different from any other author, I'm sure. Edit, edit, edit. And then have someone else edit. And then repeat. Don't put something out there unless you are one hundred percent confident in it, because readers will notice.
What genre or genres do you write?
I write romance. I love a happily ever after, so that's what I write. In regard to sub-genres, I write both contemporary and paranormal. My favorite paranormal beings to write about are shifters (by far the sexiest of the paranormal beings, in my opinion) and faeries. Although I have created my own beings, called Lightbearers, and am about to release the second book in that series.
Tell us about your latest release.
Unwrapping Love. Twenty-one contemporary romances. Yes, twenty-one. It's something like 700 pages long, so well worth the less than $5 price tag. Mine is about halfway through and is called The Perfect Christmas.
My heroine, Anna, is in love with Jesse, a super sweet guy who happens to be married to Anna's bitchy older sister, Jessica. Things happen, Jesse and Anna end up hooking up, and then Anna learns he only did it to get back at Jessica, who was cheating on him. I know it sounds impossible, but there really is a happy ending!
Into the Light, came out in July 2014, and was Tanner and Olivia's story. This one is called Dawning of Light, and it focuses on Finn, a shifter, and Cecilia, a lightbearer. Finn's job is to protect Cecilia, who doesn't particularly want to be protected. Personalities clash, but of course there is a strong, underlying sexual tension, which comes to a head about halfway through the book. I love this series. I mean, I adore it, and I think paranormal fans will too.
Quick note: while each book can be read stand alone, I recommend reading them in order, as there are quite a few over-arching plots that carry from book to book. So far, I have something like eight books outlined in the series, and a few minor details from book one will suddenly become crazy important in some of the later books.
I really love the covers.
I really love the covers.
And finally, where can we find you?
Everywhere. That's funny because it's true. I'm on practically every social media out there. But, here are the key places to stalk me:
My website – I update the main page every time there's a new release (which is pretty frequently), and I've just started a new page called "Meet the Characters" which is a work in progress, but so far there are some wonderfully hot guys up there, plus a little background on a few of my heroes. I also blog at least once a week, which is part of my website: http://tamilund.com
Facebook – I love to post funny pics or antidotes, and I especially love posting teasers from whatever book I'm currently working on: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorTamiLund?ref=hl
Twitter – I'm a huge fan of retweeting others, especially if the tweet is funny: https://twitter.com/TamiLundAuthor
Thank you, Susan, for hosting me on your blog today. It was truly a pleasure to give you far more information than anyone could possibly want!
To wrap up this interview, let's give you a few book links:
Here's the link to Unwrapping Love, which is free, if you're an Amazon Prime member (and only $4.99 otherwise!): http://www.amazon.com/Unwrapping-Love-Grace-Ravel-ebook/dp/B00P72UUGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416754537&sr=8-1&keywords=unwrapping+love
All the rest of my books can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/Tami-Lund/e/B00AXJH5MY/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1416754604&sr=8-1
And as a special treat, for taking the time to read my ramblings, I'd like to offer a prize. With Dawning of Light coming out in two weeks, I figure I should give you a chance to read Into the Light… for free! So, if you love paranormal, and you want to give a new series a try, just go to my Facebook Author Page, like it, and note it in the comments here. In one week's time, I'll pick, hmm…. THREE WINNERS. Three people will receive a complimentary e-book of Into the Light, the first in the Lightbearer series. Sound good? Well get to it!
Sounds good to me. I am entering. Thank you, Tami for being here.
Sounds good to me. I am entering. Thank you, Tami for being here.

From: Guy Grannum
I have been sent this press notice from www.ancestry.co.uk.
They have digitised and indexed the 1834 Barbados slave returns from the National Archives series T 71. The release suggests that they are going to do the other returns in due course.
This is wonderful news and the first time anything like this has been made available.
It sort of hamstrings my plans to do the same thing but at the same time opens up opportunities for researchers and database designers.
This will form part of their subscription service so even though you get to run the same searches your hits have restricted descriptions and you can't access the images.
I have had a play around with it today and you can search by any data field:
a.. slave name - note that it is not sophisticated and treats Tom and Thomas as different names
b.. gender (of slave)
c.. year of birth (of slave)
d.. nationality (of slave) - you get a drop down menu so will find that three are described as being Jamaican
e.. parish (of return)
f.. owner's name
g.. keyword - which will look for this in any field.
You can also add * as a wildcard.
The transcription seems very accurate but unfortunately it is transcribed as seen - Wm, Society PGF (for the Codrington estate Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts).
Because I don't have a subscription I haven't been able to thoroughly understand the search - for example I can't tell if it always includes the owner or the person making the return if the owner was absent, deceased or unable to make the return, and I can't tell how it handles multiple owners.
As I said the hits for unsubscribed users are useful but not fully descriptive but this is common to all Ancestry databases - you get enough to narrow down the search but not too much so avoiding having to pay to download. For example you won't get gender, or nationality (race) and you will only get the first or last name of an owner if you used them as search terms.
You can't undertake statistical analysis of this to identify number of births, deaths, or manumissions etc - but as a genealogical and historical tool it is an excellent start and hopefully the searching will become more sophisticated allowing fuzzy or variant searching. If it can't find a particular person it will bring up all possibles which is OK at the moment with one year for one country but will be a problem as more are added.
A final word for those who have not used the registers - you may get multiple entries for the same person - the returns list all slaves who were registered in 1832, then a separate list for decreases and increases - so if a person who was around in 1832 was sold they will appear in the original owner's general list, then in the decreases section and then in the new owners increases section.
In addition they have also made available Joanne McRee Sander's indexes to Barbadian baptisms, marriages and wills - which was on genealogy.com's website (and CD-Rom) as English Settlers in Barbados 1637-1800.
Feel free to pass this around to interested parties.
All the best

This is the second time I have ordered these well-tailored and comfortable covers. I know them to be hard-wearing and easily cleaned (and they don't lose their shape even after multiple washes).
Worth the money Posted by Unknown on 7th Apr 2013
Just what I wanted. Easy to fit but snug fitting front-seat covers which I know from experience of other OTT products will be hard wearing and easy to clean. These do not shift position on the shiny fabric of the seats and you don't slide around on them like other waterproof covers. My only quibble is the limited number of colours to choose from - but the charcoal grey is very smart.

Ottolenghi to go
I really like the
way of cooking. At home, we have already reproduced some recipes very successfully and enjoyed a couple of dinners in his restaurant. But the best, was the other night, when Jakob, on his way home from London, bought the dinner to go. It was one of those things which makes you happy. First week after my holidays, lots of things to do, new projects and then, such a reward, more than convenient..

Veracyte Announces That New Guidelines Include Molecular Testing for Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules To Reduce Unnecessary Surgeries
Jan 07, 2013, 08:15 EST
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Veracyte, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company pioneering the emerging field of molecular cytology, today announced that, for the first time, molecular testing is now included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Thyroid Carcinoma. The new NCCN Guidelines indicate that, when a thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration (FNA) result is indeterminate using traditional cytopathology, which relies on microscope-based review, physicians should consider using molecular testing in lieu of diagnostic surgery, provided the test's performance is similar in accuracy to a benign diagnosis using cytopathology. This new approach could enable tens of thousands of patients to avoid surgery to remove all or part of their thyroids for diagnosis. The NCCN is an alliance of 21 world-leading cancer centers. The new guidelines are published online at www.nccn.org.
Veracyte's Afirma® Gene Expression Classifier test demonstrated in a multicenter, prospective validation study, published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, that when it reclassified thyroid nodule FNA samples that were initially deemed indeterminate by cytopathology as benign – which it did more than 50% of the time – its accuracy was similar to a benign diagnosis using cytopathology.
"We are pleased that NCCN, a leader in establishing evidence-based, high-quality cancer diagnosis and management, has recommended the use of molecular testing to replace surgery to address the clinical problem of inconclusive thyroid nodule results," said Bonnie Anderson, cofounder and CEO of Veracyte. "Their recommendation reinforces the growing use of the Afirma Gene Expression Classifier by endocrinologists around the country to help many patients safely avoid unnecessary thyroid surgeries."
Approximately 450,000 thyroid nodule FNAs – a minimally invasive procedure to extract cells for examination under the microscope – are performed each year in the U.S. to rule out cancer. In 15-30% of cases, the results are indeterminate, or not clearly benign or malignant, and current protocols typically recommend thyroid surgery for final diagnosis. Following surgery, however, most (70-80%) patients turn out to have benign nodules.
About the Afirma® Gene Expression Classifier
The Afirma Gene Expression Classifier measures the expression of 142 genes to reclassify ambiguous thyroid FNA samples as either benign or suspicious for cancer. The test is offered as part of Veracyte's comprehensive Afirma Thyroid FNA Analysis, which combines specialized cytopathology assessment for initial review of thyroid nodule FNAs, with the gene expression test used to clarify inconclusive results. The test is covered for Medicare patients nationwide and is available throughout the U.S. through a global co-promotion partnership with Genzyme, a Sanofi company.
About Veracyte
Veracyte, Inc., based in South San Francisco, Calif., is pioneering the emerging field of molecular cytology, applying molecular biomarkers to cytology samples in order to improve disease diagnosis by clarifying indeterminate results obtained from current methods. The company aims to enable doctors to make more informed treatment decisions early, thus helping patients avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and providing cost savings to the healthcare system. Veracyte's first product – the Afirma® Thyroid FNA Analysis – combines specialized cytopathology assessment with the Afirma Gene Expression Classifier, a genomic test that clarifies inconclusive thyroid nodule results as benign or suspicious for cancer. The company has formed a global co-promotion partnership with Genzyme, a Sanofi company, to make the Afirma Thyroid FNA Analysis available throughout the U.S. and, subsequently, globally. Veracyte is currently in the early biomarker discovery phase for lung cancer and interstitial lung diseases. Veracyte is privately held and funded by Domain Associates, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, TPG Biotech and Versant Ventures. For more information, visit www.veracyte.com.

What is El Fuego?
El Fuego is an intiative of the Latinx Theatre Commons. During preperations for Carnaval 2015, the LTC put out a call to Latina/o theatres across the nation to secure productions for the 12 Carnaval selected Playwrights, and in less than 13 hours, 18 responded! After working with these theatres to match them with a playwright, we promote the culminating productions in several ways by:
1) Supporting the housing, travel, and per diem of the playwright, allowing them to be present for development and/or rehearsal time with the company,
2) Supporting the housing and travel of a Latina/o/x theatre scholar to attend rehearsals and performances, allowing them to document and write about the process and production, as well as paying the scholar for their work,
3) Providing national press for the intiative, and
4) Supporting the eventual publication of an anthology of these plays that also documents the intiaitive and the individual processes of these companies.
Six El Fuego Productions Produced in the First Year
Parachute Men by Mando Alvarado, produced by Teatro Vista (Chicago, IL)—September 10-October 16, 2016
Woman on Fire by Marisela Treviño Orta, produced by Camino Real Productions (Albuquerque, NM)—September 29-October 16, 2016

October 11, 2016 (BOSTON)–The Latina/o Theatre Commons (LTC), in partnership with HowlRound, proudly announces two inaugural productions of EL FUEGO, a directive to help grow, support, and ignite the American theatre with new Latina/o theatre works by supporting the full productions of work by the 2015 Carnaval featured playwrights. Both productions are world premieres.
Parachute Men by Mando Alvarado is currently being produced in Chicago, Illinois by Teatro Vista, from September 10 through October 16, 2016. Directed by Executive Artistic Director Ricardo Gutiérrez, the play centers on three brothers who admittedly "suck at being brothers, suck at love, and suck at being men." On the anniversary of their mother's death, the oldest brother returns after a long estrangement. After a few hours, it becomes clear that, in his absence, the pecking order of their relationship has changed. Thus the battle begins to restore or revolutionize their family. http://www.teatrovista.org/parachute
Woman on Fire by Marisela Treviño Orta will be co-produced by Camino Real Productions and the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from September 29 through October 16, 2016 as the first production of the Center's 2016-2017 Siembra: Latino Theatre Season. A reimagining of Sophocles' Antigone, Woman on Fire will be directed by Valli Marie Rivera. Juanita, the unwilling heroine is haunted by the ghost of a woman who died while crossing the Arizona/Mexico border. Torn between the laws of man and the laws of spirit, Juanita must decide whether to risk losing her marriage in order to give the restless spirit the proper burial it demands. http://www.nhccnm.org/event/siembra-latino-theatre-season-woman-fire/
EL FUEGO: Fueling the American Theatre with Latina/o Plays, was sparked by the game-changing 2015 LTC Carnaval of New Latina/o Work (Carnaval 2015), which took place on July 23-25, 2015 at The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago. This event brought together over 200 Latinx and allied theatremakers to celebrate and promote Latinx playwrights and encourage nationwide productions of these vibrant voices.
The desire to showcase new Latina/o plays to potential producing organizations was only a starting place for the LTC. To move the field forward and ignite American stages with Latina/o stories, the LTC Steering Committee released a bold and daring call to theatres across the US: "Will you commit to a full production of one of Carnaval 2015's featured playwrights, sight unseen?" The energy created by this inspiring call was so great that in less than twenty-four hours, twelve partner theatres committed to producing at least one work by one of the featured playwrights before they had even been selected. This monumental first for the American Theatre quickly became EL FUEGO, a historic initiative that expands the model of new play development and recalibrates the traditional, and often inequitable, theatrical pipeline. The number of committed theatres continued to grow to eighteen before Carnaval 2015 took place. This cohort is comprised of nationally recognized theatres from all over the country, all working towards a more inclusive and innovative field for artists and audiences. All twelve playwrights featured at Carnaval 2015 will be produced by eighteen different theater companies across the United States by 2020.
In addition to the two productions in September, other EL FUEGO projects are slated for the 2016-17 season:
El Payaso by Emilio Rodriguez will premiere at Milagro in Portland, Oregon, from January 12 through the 21t, 2017, and tour nationally through November 2017. Directed by Georgina Escobar (another EL FUEGO playwright), this eco-drama follows the journey of a young Latino, fresh from college with an environmental science degree, heading to Nicaragua for a chance to make a difference in small rural villages. His journey honors the work of the late Ben Linder, whose memory lives on in the work of Clowns Without Borders and various environmental groups that are collaborating to bring this story to life. With red noses and humor, the performers will share the value of "thinking globally, while acting locally." http://milagro.org/event/el-payaso/
Sweep by Georgina Escobar, will premiere at the Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville, Georgia, from February 10 through March 5, 2017. Directed by Abigail Vega, Sweep is the story of Luna and Siri, two hit-women of the multiverse armed with deadly broomsticks bound to sweep mistakes into oblivion. But when they fail to clean up Adam and Eve's apple situation they find themselves on a cosmic journey through time. With Dragon Con sensibilities this play is rife with the humor and adventure of a great graphic novel. http://www.auroratheatre.com/on-stage/2016-2017-ggc-harvel-lab-series/sweep/
Más by Milta Ortiz, will open at Su Teatro, in Denver, Colorado, from March 9 through March 25, 2017. Under the direction of Artistic Director Anthony J. Garcia, the docudrama is based on a true story that highlights the struggle between students, teachers, and Tucson Unified School District when Mexican-American Studies (MAS) was banned from curricula. The community struggles to hold onto their history, identity, and humanity as they fight to save Mexican American Studies in the Tucson Unified School District. http://suteatro.org/
"EL FUEGO is doing what the LTC does best—facilitating relationships and combining our collective resources to promote the field," says Lisa Portes, Head of MFA Directing at The Theatre School at DePaul University and the LTC Steering Committee member and champion behind Carnaval 2015. "This initiative is the culmination of everything the LTC has been working towards over the past three years. We are igniting a spark, and we hope other companies follow suit." EL FUEGO is an exciting step toward the inclusion and diversity of stories in the American theatre that came to fruition as a result of the LTC. The LTC will track the progress of every collaboration and project as they develop, and will work with the partner theatres to ensure the productions are supported at every step of the process by ensuring the playwright is present for the process and that a dedicated Latinx theatre scholar is documenting and writing about the process and production.

Latina/o Theatre Commons (LTC) Announces All 12 Playwrights from CARNAVAL 2015 Promised Production by 18 Theatres Nationwide
The LTC's newest intiative, EL FUEGO, launches now to support theatermakers!
CHICAGO – The Latina/o Theatre Commons (LTC), an active initiative of HowlRound, proudly announces that all 12 playwrights presented at July's Carnaval 2015 are being produced by 18 different theater companies across the United States over the next three years. LTC is launching the new initiative, EL FUEGO: Fueling the American Theatre with Latina/o Plays, to help grow, support and ignite the field with new Latina/o theater works. Carnaval 2015 at The Theatre School at DePaul University, Chicago,gathered together over 200 Latina/o and allied theatremakers to celebrate and promote Latina/o playwrights and encourage productions of these vibrant voices nationwide.
"We are doing what the LTC does best—facilitating relationships and combining our collective resources to promote the field," says Lisa Portes, Head of MFA Directing at The Theatre School at DePaul University and Carnaval 2015 Champion. "This initiative is the culmination of everything the LTC has been working towards over the past three years. We are igniting a spark, and we hope other companies follow suit."
In early 2015, members of the LTC Steering Committee were approached with the idea of securing production for every one of the Carnaval 2015 Featured Playwrights before 2019. This desire to ignite US stages with Latina/o stories became a historic initiative with 12 theaters committing in less than 24 hours. The number then grew to 18 theaters and is made up of nationally recognized theaters in Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and beyond.
This exciting step forward towards inclusion and a diversity of stories in the American Theatre is just one more in a line with the visionary work that has come to fruition as a result of the LTC.
The LTC will track the progress of each of the collaborations and projects as they develop over the next few years, and will work to ensure the productions are supported at every step of the process.

By Natalie Josef, July 3, 2012
Each year, Consumer Reports publishes its Top Picks of cars. To qualify, a car must be assessed as follows. First, it must rank at or near the top of its category in its overall test scores. Also, according to the latest Annual Auto Survey given to Consumer Reports subscribers, the car must be average or better when it comes to reliability. Finally, if tested, all top picks must perform well in government or industry crash and rollover tests.
Below are the results for the 2012 Top Picks, which highlight the top-scoring domestic cars and Consumer Reports' overall Top Picks. And the news isn't that bad for American versions, which match the overall pick in two categories. Go USA!

You don"t "wait for improvement" when you are treating lyme disease. lyme disease specialists typically treat two months beyond the CESSATION of symptoms.

There has been a good amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth among statistically inclined Phillies fans for the club to pursue more college hitters in the draft. A half dozen or so studies have been done on expected return of draft choices and many of them come out the other end touting college bats as the most beneficial type of selection (Rany Jazayerli, Phil Birnbaum and Victor Wang have all written about it at length). Generally, the Phillies do not select college hitters in the first round. The last time they did was in 2000 when they popped an infield prospect named Chase Utley from UCLA. In that vein, the prospect du jour is outfielder Cameron Perkins, the club's sixth round pick in 2012 out of Purdue. Continue reading…
I'm down to my last month or so in Madison (side note, if anyone wants to pay me to write or edit anything, I'm very much available), and let me say this: I am entirely sick of snow. We got about eight inches dumped on us in what seemed like an hour, and I'm so tired of having to go five months between grass sightings. This place is so cold all the doctors are named Yuri and write horrible poetry. I took the garbage out on Monday and got icicles on my beard and in my nose after about 30 seconds. I'm just so done with snow.
But I'll say this–it being 10 below up here isn't even close to the most miserable weather I've ever experienced. Because I'd take this winter over Philadelphia winter anytime. Philadelphia winter is 34 and overcast and unrelenting sleet and freezing rain and wind and I want to punch John Bolaris in the forehead right now just thinking about winter weather in Philadelphia. The worst place on the planet in winter is on the campus of Temple University, under the footbridge between Gladfelter and Anderson halls, where if you step out you get your ears frozen off from the sleet and belted by wind so strong you wonder if NASA's testing a static airframe for a new hypersonic rocket plane. It is the most miserable place I've ever been.
Your questions.

20 Things You Need To Know About Marion Cotillard
Here's Why We're Obsessed With French Actress Marion Cotillard
In her native France, Marion Cotillard is seen as a highly-respected Oscar-winning actress who successfully embodied the iconic French singer Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. With more visible roles in English-language films like A Good Year, Public Enemies and Nine, North American audiences are slowly but surely starting to come around to the talent and beauty that exists within Cotillard's creative aura.
While she's already captured Hollywood's acting equivalent of the Holy Grail, Marion Cotillard hasn't quite yet conquered pop culture as a name and face with instant worldwide recognition. Right now, she's a very accomplished actress whose skills are polished, but whose popularity still has room to grow.
Her roles in the blockbuster Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises and the thriller Contagion alongside Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet have certainly gone to cementing her image in popular culture.
As is often the case with French women, Marion Cotillard has an elegant way about her and a radiance that helps her stand apart from conventional Hollywood beauties. With an inviting gaze that asks, "Comment ca va?" and a body that screams, "Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?" Cotillard's an alluring wonder who would be hard for any man to resist. She's been on our radar several times as one of AskMen's Top 99 Women.
The fact that she's a top-notch acting talent to go along with it just means that her fellow actresses have even more to be concerned about. Beneath Marion Cotillard's outer layer of sexiness and talent is a budding environmentalist and artistic keener. Given that her romantic relationship with fellow French actor Guillaume Canet has been known to focus on low-key and quiet times, we could imagine spending an afternoon with Cotillard at the Musee d'Orsay before heading to a Parisian cafe for some chocolate croissants.
Since Hollywood is lacking an obvious French beauty with first-rate acting skills, Cotillard's acclaimed talents and flattering appearance have positioned her to pursue that crown and claim it all for herself. Here are 20 things you should know about the stunning actress:
1. Motherhood
Cotillard gave birth to her second child, daughter Louise Canet, with partner Guillaume Canet in March 2017. The couple have a son, Marcel Canet, born in in 2011.
2. Affair rumors
Following news that Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, rumors he had an affair with Cotillard, with whom he co-starred in Allied, immediately ensued. Cotillard set the set the record straight by making a public statement on Instagram:
This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiraling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up. Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. Secondly to those who have indicated that I am devastated, I am very well thank you. This crafted conversation isn't distressing. And to all the media and the haters who are quick to pass judgment, I sincerely wish you a swift recovery. Finally, I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment. With all my love Marion Ceci sera la première et seule réaction que j'aurai concernant la déferlante inouïe qui à commencé il y a de ça 24 heures et à laquelle je suis mêlée malgré moi. Je n'ai pas pour habitude de commenter ni de prendre au sérieux le tas d'absurdités déversées à mon sujet mais la situation prenant une telle tournure et affectant des gens que j'aime, je me dois de m'exprimer. Pour commencer, j'ai rencontré il y a quelques années l'homme de ma vie , le père de notre fils et du bébé que nous attendons aujourd'hui. Il est mon amour, mon meilleur ami et le seul homme dont j'ai besoin. Ensuite, à ceux qui me prétendent dévastée, je vais très bien merci. Ce genre d'inventions aberrantes ne m'affecte en aucun cas. Et pour finir, à la "presse", à tous les haters, trolls et consorts qui ont le jugement si rapide je vous souhaite sincèrement... un prompt rétablissement. Ceci dit et un peu plus sérieusement, je souhaite à Angelina et Brad, deux personnes pour qui j'ai un profond respect, de trouver la paix dans ce moment tumultueux. Avec tout mon amour. Marion
3. Relationship with Canet
Cotillard and her partner, French actor and director Guillaume Canet, met in the 1990's and appeared in Love Me If You Dare together, while Canet was still married to actress Diane Kruger.
4. Puffed pout
The Oscar-winning actress posted a series of photos on Instagram showcasing a new whole look...and pair of lips. Turns out, the selfies were taken while Cotillard was on set for Rock'n'roll, the French comedy directed by her boyfriend, Guillaume Canet.
5. Lady Dior
Cotillard has been the face of Dior's handbag "Lady Dior" since 2008. She has starred in a series of short films, lended her vocals to collaborations with Franz Ferdinand and even designed her own handbag for the French fashion house.
6. Environmental activism
Cotillard has been a member and a spokesperson for Greenpeace since 2001. In 2013, she participated in a caged protest near Paris's Louvre museum that called for the freeing of 30 Greenpeace activists jailed in Russia over an Arctic protest. She held a banner that read "I am a climate defender".
7. She's kind of a big deal
Cotillard is the first French woman to win the best actress Oscar (for her lead role in La Vie En Rose) since Simone Signoret took home the same award in 1960.
8. La Vie En Rose praise
Her performance in the role of French singer Edith Piaf in the biopic earned the actress a total of 27 awards.
9. More than an actress
Cotillard plays several instruments, including the guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and tambourine.
10. She also sings
She recorded two songs with the French Rock band Yodelice for their album Cardioid. She also went on tour with the band, under the pseudonym "Simone." She's written, co-written and performed over a dozen singles.
11. Assassin's Creed Script
Upon reading through a second version of the movie's script while she was filming From The Land Of The Moon, Cotillard discovered she disagreed with changes that were made to her so she called up the film's director Justin Kurzel, and soon enough the actress was reworking the script along with Kurzel and co-star Michael Fassbender.
12. Acting is in her blood
She is the daughter of actor and teacher Jean-Claude Cotillard, her mother Niseema Theillaud is also an actress and drama teacher. She has two younger twin brothers, Quentin and Guillaume.
13. David Bowie collab
Cotillard starred in David Bowie's controversial music video for his song "The Next Day" in 2013.
14. Magazine covers
Cotillard has appeared on over 200 magazine covers around the world, including on the front of Dior Magazine's first issue in 2012.
15. She's pretty popular
She ranked no. 2 on Google's "Most Searched Actresses of 2016" list.
16. Worldwide film industry contributions
Cotillard's films have grossed over 3 billion dollars at the box-office.
17. Big Fish script
Before scoring her role in Tim Burton's Big Fish, she slept with the film's script under her pillow for a month. It ended up being her first role in an American movie.
18. Philanthropy work
Cotillard supports The Heart Fund, an international charity that fights against cardiovascular diseases in children in developing countries. She is patron of the Maud Fontenoy foundation and ambassador of Association Wayanga.
19. Bumped by Bullock
Cotillard was originally considered for the role of Ryan in Gravity, but Sandra Bullock was cast instead.
20. Kate Winslet fan
Cotillard admires Winslet and appeared on her book The Golden Hat: Talking Back To Autism in support of Winslet's Golden Hat Foundation to raise awareness of autism.

From Evansville, Indiana, USA:
My daughter, who is 19, has had Type 1 diabetes since she was diagnosed at the age of 13. She takes 2 injections a day of 70/30 insulin. She had the flu earlier this year and has not totally recovered in my opinion. The reason for my writing is that she has had, for the past month, pain in her thighs and back side of her bottom area. The pain I am speaking of is like if someone would smack your thigh, it kind of stings. This is the type of pain she has. It gets stings so bad that she cries at times. I just don't know what is causing this. When she had her cold, she was placed on amoxicillin, which she tended to gain weight and was bloated.
I had to finally take her to her health care physician who oversees her diabetes. He referred her to a neurologist. The neurologist ran a series of blood test, MRI and neurological tests on her (hooking her up to electrodes, etc.). He has placed her on a medicine (Neurontin [a medication that sometimes helps diabetic neuropathy]) which is no help at all. She still has the burning pain in her thighs. She says it is like having a bad sunburn.
The same day he did the electrode testing, he told her this pain is attributed to her diabetes. She just needs to keep a tighter control on her sugars. This is all he recommended along with dispensing the Neurontin that does not work. She has just stop taking the Neurontin. I was concerned because when I got the new refill at the pharmacy, it stated on the bottle this time that she should wear medical identification saying she is on the medicine.
While she had been seeing the neurologist, she had an episode of her sugar dropping on her 2 hours after she had eaten. This time she was having seizures. We managed to get her sugar taken and it read 33. I gave her a shot of glucagon which finally brought her around after we had called 911.
She has since seen our family physician which stated to her that she can't keep having her sugars drop and rise without warning, and no one seems to know why they do this. He is recommending she consult with a endocrinologist about having a insulin pump (the one that can be surgically implanted and will monitor her sugars for her and dispense the right amount of insulin). We are still waiting. The only thing that bothers me is that no one, even the neurologist, can explain why her sugars were doing this (up and down). She has had very good control of her diabetes along with exercising. It was like she had this flu and it knocked something out of whack. All her tests looked fine with the exception of her sugars. Every time she gets upset, her sugars do rise, but not because of sneaking food.
I just wanted to let you know what I had done to this point, but still am curious to why her sugars did this to begin with.
I agree that your daughter needs to be under the care of an endocrinologist to reevaluate her diabetes control. At the present time, there is no surgically implantable insulin pump available that monitors the blood sugar and automatically gives insulin. However, most young adults do better taking individualized insulin doses, not fixed combinations of Regular and NPH such as her 70/30 insulin. Multiple injections or possibly a subcutaneous insulin pump (you still have to monitor the blood sugars yourself and decide how much insulin to give in the pump) may also be an option. Of course insulin is only part of the picture, and must be given to match food intake and exercise. It sounds like your daughter needs comprehensive reevaluation and education by an endocrinologist, nurse educator, nutritionist, and possibly psychologist who will work in conjunction with your neurologist and primary care physician.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- We are now paying the highest price for gas that we ever have before. We're seeing gas at $3.99 across the St. Louis area, putting us on pace to pass the record high of $3.99-5 set last May.
The Metro East is currently at $4.19 a gallon. It is on the verge of breaking the record set in 2008, which was $4.20 a gallon. But here's the extra kick in your wallet. This doesn't add up. Oil supplies are at an all-time high worldwide and demand is not increasing.
Will gas prices continue to rise, stay at $4, or fall? Share your thoughts.
"It's a gas guzzler for sure," Mike Gentry said of his SUV. " I'm looking to buy a new car just because of gas prices."
You'd think we'd get a break considering for the first time in 62 years the U.S. will export more refined gasoline and diesel than we import -- enough to run America's engines for a week -- but that fuel is flowing to growing economies south of our borders where demand is higher.
Economics experts say these prices are purely due to the possibility of a problem.
"Speculation is leading to a probably .75 cent increase of gasoline at the pump, so although supply is high, a lot of speculators on Wall Street and in London are betting on that there could be a potential disruption of oil," St. Louis University economics professor Jack Strauss, Ph.D, said.
On Wednesday, Strauss says the International Monetary Fund expressed concerns if tensions were to boil over in Iran.
"If there is a problem in Iran and they shut off the Straight of Hormuz, the price of oil will rise by 30%," Strauss said.
At the current price at the pump, we'll be shelling out an extra $750 dollars this year for gas as it drains disposable income. The price at the pump has gone up 12 days in a row, which Strauss warns could push us into a recession.
"It makes no sense. There's no reason for it to cost this much," Mike Goldberg said as he filled up his mini van. "It's just business and these guys are gouging us."
That's why some senators are now pushing for legislation that they say would bring down gas prices by stopping Wall Street from speculating about oil prices -- the very reason you are paying more at the pump.
"We have got to make sure, and what our concern is, is that oil prices reflect supply and demand, not Wall Street greed," Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I) Vermont, said.

Officials investigate the shooting of a UPS driver at 65th St. and Hermitage Avenue in West Englewood. (Tribune photo/Antonio Perez)
A United Parcel Service delivery driver was shot this morning during an apparent robbery involving two men in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side, officials said.
The man initially was in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn after the 10 a.m. shooting on the 6500 block of South Hermitage Avenue, said Chicago Police Officer Gabrielle Lesniak, but is expected to recover.
