An international rescue team took the 23-year-old man away on a stretcher after frantically digging him out of the ruins of a hotel in Port-au-Prince, a rare tale of hope from the deadliest recorded disaster ever to hit the Americas.

President Rene Preval led a crowd who wept and sang songs at the funeral mass for popular Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot.

But 62 teams remained in Haiti on Saturday, said Vincenzo Pugliese, a UN spokesman in Haiti, adding that while the government had switched focus to relief operations "this does not mean that search and rescue operations have stopped."

Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney meanwhile led a galaxy of stars Friday in a telethon fundraiser for quake victims broadcast across every major US television network.

A convoy of food aid being distributed by an unidentified NGO without an escort of UN peacekeepers was attacked and looted in the south of capital on Friday, the UN said.

"It's a real miracle. Let's hope it's not the last," said Lieutenant Colonel Christophe Renou, commander of the French contingent of the rescue team, which also included US and Greek aid workers.

Rescuers pulled a man alive from the rubble on Saturday 11 days after Haiti's devastating earthquake, raising hopes of finding more survivors even as the government called off search efforts.

A United Nations spokeswoman in Geneva said earlier Saturday that the Haitian government had called off the search and rescue phase at 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Friday.

The 63-year-old's body was laid out in front of the city's destroyed Roman Catholic cathedral in an open casket wearing his ceremonial miter,ugg store, with visible injuries to his face. He died when his office adjoining the cathedral collapsed.

Aid workers increased the pace of deliveries to the more than 600,000 people living in squalid conditions beneath tents or in makeshift camps across the devastated capital, mostly with little food or water.

He was saved just hours after the United Nations announced that Haiti's barely-functioning government had declared an end to search-and-rescue efforts so aid workers could focus on getting supplies to survivors.

Rescue teams have saved 132 people across the shattered city since the January 12 quake, according to the UN, most recently an 84-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man who were pulled from collapsed buildings on Friday.

A US Marine unit had arrived off the coast of Haiti Saturday to bolster its aid contingent in the Caribbean nation, the US military said. A total of 20,000 US military personnel are due to be in Haiti or on ships offshore by Sunday.

Several thousand people also took part in group prayers on the Champ de Mars, near the wrecked presidential palace, led by energetic evangelists.

Normal life was also returning to some parts of the capital, with some shops and street vendors back in business, traffic flowing in some parts of the city and people lining up to wait for private banks to reopen at last.

"All the bad spirits in the presidential palace must disappear!" shouted one preachers. Participants prayed, shouted and waved their hands toward the palace.

But elsewhere some pillaging continued in the main shopping street of Port-au-Prince.

Meanwhile a huge relocation of survivors out of the still-squalid capital continued.

French ambassador Didier le Bret, who was also at the scene, said: "Officially the rescue phase ended yesterday, but because our firemen are determined people they came when they were asked to."

"He was in a pocket in the debris in which he could move a bit and he was also able to find a little water that enabled him to survive."

More than 130,000 people have taken advantage of the government's offer of free transport to other cities where it is setting up new tent camps, the UN said. An unknown number of other people had left the capital by private means.

The miracle tale came as thousands of mourners gathered outside the ruins of the capital's cathedral for the funeral of the archbishop of Port-au-Prince, one of more than 110,000 people killed in the 7.0-magnitude quake.

"The Creator wants us to take part in the creation of a new country, a new Haiti, a new world," Joseph Lafontant, the auxiliary bishop who led the service.

The UN World Food Program said it had distributed two million meals on Friday, up from 1.2 million on Thursday. A total of 150 health facilities were now running across the city,Paul Smith Bags, the World Health Organization said.

Police eventually released the detained looters.

On Boulevard Jean-Jacques Dessalines a local businessman gives orders to workers loading televisions and fridges onto a truck.

"They came back here, we know, but they are hiding in the alleys," said Chief Inspector Rosemond Aristide, referring to gang leaders.

Just down the street police stood aside as looters descended upon a wooden house like locusts, unable to contain the crowd.

"They will dynamite the whole area, that's why everybody is taking their merchandise out," he told AFP, although no one else in the area appeared to be following his lead.

Looting, an ongoing activity in downtown Port-au-Prince, picked up Sunday as excavators removed large chunks of debris, exposing both rotting cadavers and valuables. Related article: Traumatised Haitians comprehend grim fate

"I fled the day of the earthquake. I was serving a six-month sentence in Arcahaie," said Richmon Benedict, naming a prison in western Haiti.

"We patrol for 24 hours but we can't be everywhere," said another police officer. "With what little we have we aim to do the best possible."

In one downtown street, the Avenue of Miracles, police detained three looters who were raiding a pharmacy and forced them to the ground. Four other looters fled with police in hot pursuit, pistols drawn.

Haiti police count their losses, prepare for calamity
JORDI ZAMORA January 25, 2010

Police in the Haitian capital counted their losses and gathered their forces, preparing for a surge in crime they are certain will follow the devastating January 12 earthquake.

"Come quickly, the situation is degenerating," a police officer barked into his radio, calling for backup.

Cite Soleil police say they captured at least one escaped prisoner.

Looting is widespread in this city struggling to recover from the powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake, but police say they have yet to see a wider rise in violent crime.

"What can I do? We have no jail," the officer said.

"We have not received an increase in crime reports at this time," said the police commissioner from the Delmas sector, Carl Henry Boucher. "But I'm afraid that is going to change."

"It's a whole life gone," said Fernande Derenoncourt. "My mother is the owner, she's 93 -- 70 years of work gone. Of course we have no insurance."

Nevertheless police say that crime has not dramatically increased.

"Looters accuse other looters, to get rid of them -- thieves calling other thieves thieves," he said, overwhelmed by the situation.

Josh White, an American doctor, said his mobile unit, comprising a general surgeon, five orthopaedists and a urologist, planned to stay for the next six months as the town's homeless try to rebuild their lives.

"Right now, the needs of the people are survival and immediate recovery," said Pierre Kraehenbuehl, who is director of operations at the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Haiti's President Rene Preval, in a statement, urged the world to urgently airlift 200,000 more tents and 36 million ready-to-eat packs before the rainy season starts in May.

In the town of Leogane, 90 per cent destroyed by the quake, some good news has emerged: it has acquired a new hospital after more than two years without, after international aid teams set up operations at a nursing school.

Merchants are risking their lives trying to protect what little they have left.

"There is a terrible humanitarian crisis that we are dealing with. We don't yet feed all of the people. We don't yet have water for them.

Two weeks after the disaster which killed around 150,000 people and left a million homeless, fresh looting and chaotic food handouts underlined the grim conditions those who lived through 7.0 magnitude quake.

Health Minister Alex Larsen said that tents were being readied for 400,000 people at mini-villages that will initially hold 20,000, and in the long term accommodate around one million.

"We must work to ensure that every resource committed, every relief worker, every vehicle, every dollar is used as effectively as possible,ugh boots," he said.

"We have so many who have been grievously injured. Those who have received medical care, many of them have amputated limbs and there are no prosthetics. There are no places to sleep."

Bulldozers cleared corpse-filled houses elsewhere in the city centre, but hopes have faded of finding more miracle survivors in the rubble. The last, a man who survived for 11 days by drinking cola, was rescued on Saturday.

The United Nations said more than 235,000 Haitians have used free buses to flee the filth in Port-au-Prince for more hygienic camps outside the capital. Others have used private transport.

Rescuers led by 20,000 US troops have struggled to get enough aid into the capital Port-au-Prince and flattened towns near the quake's epicentre, stoking security fears.

Quake-hit Haiti will need at least a decade of painstaking reconstruction, aid chiefs and donor nations warned, as homeless, scarred survivors struggled on Tuesday to rebuild their lives.

"Whatever we do, it doesn't matter - they are *******," a UN trooper said as others sprayed pepper spray and fired rubber bullets into the air.

"We are still in an emergency," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the meeting.

Donor countries agreed to hold a full conference on aid to Haiti at the UN headquarters in New York in March.

Next comes the phase of long-term reconstruction, he told foreign media in Tokyo. "This is going to be more than 10 years of efforts."

Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said the world must hammer out a long-term strategy after meeting the Caribbean country's immediate needs for food, water, shelter and health care.

Haitian police shouted out from time to time to deter the gangs, but with little conviction and less success. The police shot one young man, witnesses said, who was treated by US troops.

Hundreds of thousands of Haitians remained in desperate need of food, water and shelter, despite a large-scale US military intervention and UN-run aid program.

Conditions remain grim for survivors in the capital, although most of the bodies which lay rotting for days on the streets in the chaotic aftermath of the quake have now been collected and buried in mass graves.

In Port-au-Prince, earthmovers demolished damaged buildings and cleared downtown rubble, spewing rotting corpses into the streets and opening new routes for looters to swarm through the ruins.

"I need manpower. I need soldiers," Edmond Mulet, whose predecessor was killed when the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince collapsed in the January 12 quake, told CNN.

"We detected a movement on radar. We don't know what it is. It could be an animal or a person. We have been digging since 13.22 (1822 GMT) and it will take hours," Commandant Philippe Chaussinaid of French civil defence told AFP.

"All is not the will of God but all is providential," he said. "What we are going through is not finished, we must reconstruct the country and reconstruct our faith. As a Haitian, it hurts."

With the hobbled Haitian government almost nowhere to be seen, the first lady defended her husband President Rene Preval's handling of the aftermath of the quake, following scattered protests by desperate survivors.

Police also detained three looters who were raiding a pharmacy and forced them to the ground but eventually released them. "What can I do? We have no jail," one officer said.

Many Haitians flocked to ruined churches to pray and sing as rescue teams began bulldozing central Port-au-Prince and police struggled to control fresh outbreaks of looting in the western hemisphere's poorest nation.

With the potential for chaos rising, the new UN chief of mission in Haiti called for more manpower and vehicles, and said that clearing rubble and counting victims could take years.

"The CME (health commission) told me that they expected a figure of 150,000 dead by Monday," Communications Minister Marie-Lawrence Jocelyn Lassegue told AFP, referring to those bodies that have been found and counted.

The influx of US troops, whose number is set to reach 20,000 on Sunday, was vital for getting the food and assistance that had already reached the country out to survivors of the disaster, Mulet said.

A US telethon to help earthquake victims in Haiti raised more than 58 million US dollars while a British boy raised more than 80,500 US dollars in a day by doing a sponsored bike ride.

Experts warn that hundreds of thousands of Haitians will be living off foreign aid and in temporary housing for years to come as rebuilding the nation may take at least a decade. Thousands have been left disabled.

"It's very difficult to estimate how many more people might be dead, but the prime minister has spoken of 200,000," she added. Previously,ugg boots sale, Haitian health officials had quoted a figure of just over 112,000 dead.

During the mass, immediately behind the cathedral, at least two rotting corpses could be seen still trapped in the rubble of its collapsed wall.

The United States, Canada, France, Brazil and other donors meeting in Montreal on Monday will attempt to craft long-term strategies to lift the crippled country onto a path to recovery.

Search teams on Friday dug out a 25-year-old shop employee,timberland store, Wismond Exantus, from the ruins. He said he survived his 11 days beneath the ruins by drinking Coca-Cola and eating snacks.

"There have been criticisms that we've heard about, but I'd like to urge people to have a sense of proportion," Elizabeth Preval told reporters after a visit to the French warship moored off Port-au-Prince.

Aid workers have been moving into the recovery phase after the government officially called off search and rescue efforts after 12 days, but French rescue workers said on Sunday they had detected what might be another survivor.

Hands-on: Snow Leopard all about speed
,Paul Smith Pant

commentary From the time it first announced Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Apple made it clear that this wouldn't be like otherMac OS X releases. Work on the newest operating-system version would not focus on adding hundreds of new features but rather on improving on its previous releases.

Technology integration also accounted for a large part of Snow Leopard. For instance, a new technology called Grand Central Dispatch makes Mac OS X aware of the multiple cores found on today's more advanced computer systems. That means that applications can distribute processes across multiple cores automatically.

Brian Croll, Apple's senior director of Mac OS X marketing, explained to CNET that Mac OS X is made up of more than 1,000 individual projects. According to Apple,ugg australia boots, 90 percent of those projects have been touched in one way or another. For some projects, that meant a total rewrite; for others, it could be a few minor tweaks.

While Snow Leopard includes features like built-in Exchange support for business users, there are a few surprises in the operating system for consumers too. For instance, Dock Expose allows the user to focus on an app and its open windows by simply clicking and holding the icon in the dock.

Of course, Snow Leopard is coming out just before the release of Microsoft'sWindows 7. While Croll indicated that Microsoft's new operating system isn't quite as easy to use--"we strive to make it as easy as possible on the Mac, and it's just not like that with Windows"--consumers and businesses will soon be able to judge for themselves.

Croll said the No. 1 cause of crashes in Mac OS X areSafari plug-ins. In Snow Leopard,ugg sale, if a plug-in crashes while browsing the Web, it won't crash the entire application--just that plug-in. Reloading the page will reactivate the plug-in.

Of course, Snow Leopard supports only the new multicore Intel-based architecture, not the older PowerPC machines. The move makes sense, considering that more than 80 percent of its customers have already moved over to one of its Intel-based desktops or notebooks.

I didn't consider the start-up times in Leopard to be slow until I installed Snow Leopard. Likewise for applications--opening and working with applications just seems a bit quicker.

While the speed of an operating system may not be considered by some to be a feature like Spotlight or Expose, the snappiness I have felt in using Snow Leopard has impressed me most. Everything I do feels noticeably quicker, from booting the machine to opening applications.

uglr Haiti's miracle survivors are freed_412

06:01, 1969-Dec-31 .. 0 comments .. Link

In a huge global effort, more than 1.2 billion dollars has been pledged in aid funding for Haiti, United Nations data showed on Tuesday.

Despite US military warnings that the operation would soon switch to the recovery of thousands of bodies,mens timberland shoes, rescuers kept up the search into Wednesday for survivors like Hoteline Losana who defied the deadly odds.

State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid said there were 12,000 troops in or around Haiti, with about 2,200 Marines and sailors also expected to take part in the relief operation.

US Marines also landed southwest of Port-au-Prince to link up with UN peacekeepers before more troops and equipment arrives.

Hours earlier, Mexican firefighters rescued Anna Zizi from beneath the ruins of the Roman Catholic cathedral. Zizi, aged about 70, was pulled from rubble two hours short of a full week after the quake struck.

Losana,mbt sport womens shoes, 25, was pulled from the ruins of a Port-au-Prince shopping centre.

The US deputy military commander, Allyn, said there were now around 200 daily flights into the capital's damaged airport, and that two airstrips, in the coastal city of Jacmel and in San Isidro in neighbouring Dominican Republic, would be in use by Thursday.

Meanwhile, in a surreal scene, the giant 3,600-berth cruise ship Liberty of the Seas dropped anchor off the port of Labadee where Royal Caribbean International leases a private resort with beautiful beaches.

Another elderly woman started singing when she was pulled out of the wreckage of Port-au-Prince cathedral hours before Hoteline Losana, 25, became the latest of Haiti's miracle survivors.

Some witnesses in the angry crowd, including the girl's father, said a policeman had aimed deliberately at the girl, while others spoke of a warning shot that went astray.

On Tuesday, US paratroopers secured the ruined presidential palace, which is now surrounded by a squalid refugee camp.

Rescuers hauled a woman out of the Haiti earthquake rubble after she survived for a week without food or water and barely able to move.

"We pulled someone out seven days after an earthquake, that is quite extraordinary," said Bruno Besson, another member of the French team.

"She is conscious and in good form," Thiery Cerdan of the French group Rescuers Without Borders, which carried out the nine hour operation with Haitian firemen and American experts.

The company, which has donated one million dollars to the relief effort, defended its decision to keep taking passengers there by saying it was important to still support the Haitian economy.

Camped out under makeshift tents among the rubble, survivors faced a desperate hunt for food and water. For many looting is the only way.

Some of the rescuers were so overcome that they started crying.

The UN Security Council voted unanimously to send 3,500 extra UN troops and police to Haiti to help maintain order and protect aid convoys.

US troops fanned out across the ruined capital, where the pace of the relief operation has heightened street tensions.

"Look, when you are hungry and poor, nobody helps, you have to steal," a defiant young man named Vincent said, as people plunged into the ruins of a flattened supermarket in the hope of finding food or something to sell.

International efforts are also focusing on rebuilding the country, with a major donor conference set for Monday in Montreal.

The United Nations said that 121 people had now been rescued by international teams in the past week and that there were still hopes of finding more.

"We are here to provide security to the hospital. We work with the government of Haiti. We have rules of engagement, but we are on a humanitarian mission," Sergeant Bill Smith told AFP.

The Haitian government gave a latest toll of 75,000 dead, with another 250,000 injured and more than a million left homeless.

From there, a 100-strong squad of soldiers marched to the city's general hospital, which is swamped with injured people.

Relatives told AFP that Haitian police killed a 15-year-old girl, Fabienne Cherisma, while firing warning shots over looters in the capital.

"It seems rescuers were communicating with her and managing to get water to her through a tube. She was singing when she emerged," said Sarah Wilson, of British charity Christian Aid.

Losana had been in an apartment over a supermarket when the 7.0 magnitude quake struck on January 12. The rescuers said she had no food or water, could barely move, and owed her survival to the position in which she was stuck.

But Major General Daniel Allyn,dark ghd iv styler, deputy commander of the military operation in Haiti, said US forces would soon switch the focus of the operation to recovering bodies rather than looking for survivors.

Haitian authorities officially called off search and rescue efforts on Friday, saying they wanted foreign aid workers to concentrate on recovery.

Experts say each powerful new tremor diminishes remaining hopes for people buried in rubble, who risk being crushed by masonry dislodged by the new tremors.

A French search team pulled the desperately dehydrated girl from a collapsed building in the Carrefour-Feuilles district of Port-au-Prince on Wednesday after neighbours searching in the debris heard a faint voice in the rubble.

"Surviving for more than two weeks, it's difficult but apparently it's possible," said Sebastien Caussade, another doctor who was waiting at the young girl's beside before the helicopter took her to the hospital ship.

Cases of trapped survivors holding out for a week after an earthquake are considered extraordinary, while surviving beyond 10 days is extremely rare.

They had partly dug the girl out after they heard her cries, then called the French rescue team to finish the job safely. They had to do relatively little digging to free her, rescuers said.

Etienne joins a tiny but extraordinary group of survivors who held out for more than 10 days.

Then the French team heard from Etienne's neighbours.

"She is 16 years old, she is alive and she has her whole life ahead of her. She was speaking, she said that she was happy," Orcel said. "She was worried about her friends but we weren't able to answer all her questions."

"She was in a pocket surrounded by concrete, completely dehydrated," he added.

"We don't know if she had water while she was buried. She spoke with great difficulty,timberland shoes," he said.

He added: "She is in a very advanced state of dehydration. For the moment we have to calm her, tranquilise her, stabilise her. She is very thin and has arterial tension.

"She just said 'thank you,' she's very weak, which suggests that she's been there for 15 days," rescue team spokesman Commander Samuel Bernes told AFP.

"She has undergone a debilitating ordeal. Her return to life must be done progressively but she doesn't have any injuries that would worry us, subject to further investigations," he said.

"She has her whole life ahead of her," exclaimed an emotional rescuer after 16-year-old Darlene Etienne was dragged from the wreckage of Haiti's quake after 15 days buried alive.

"When we got there we could only see her scalp. I made the hole bigger, I talked to her. We rehydrated her intravenously and in three quarters of an hour, she was free," said Claude Fuilla, the chief medic with the French civil defence team working in Haiti.

After Wednesday's rescue, Etienne was treated at the scene for dehydration and a weak pulse, and then after the field hospital she was taken to the French navy ship Siroco which anchored off the coast on Sunday.

Hopes of finding more survivors are now fading by the day, especially as Haiti has been rattled by dozens of aftershocks following the initial quake.

But the rescue teams are not giving up.

US troops on Tuesday rescued a 31-year-old man, although he may have been buried by a building that collapsed after the earthquake. The troops said he had been trapped for 12 days.

On Saturday, search teams pulled a 25-year-old man out alive after 11 days under the rubble. He had been trapped in a grocer's shop and was able to grab a small amount of food and drink to keep himself alive.

"She was treated on the spot, she wasn't able to get out alone."

Colonel Michel Orcel,timberland mens boots, a doctor at the field hospital, said the girl was "happy" following her rescue.

No one was expecting any more miracles after more than 130 people had already been pulled alive from the ruins in Port-au-Prince since the 7.0-magnitude quake, which devastated much of the capital and killed nearly 170,000 people.

Dazed rescuers spoke of a miracle as they rested at the field hospital in the capital's Lycee Francais where Etienne was taken for emergency treatment after being slowly extracted from the ruins on a stretcher.

What was your first real job (or responsibility) in the theatre?,ghd styler

The first taste of theatre that I remember was when I was a freshman in high school - a school trip to see Shakespeare (I can't remember what play) at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey. That memory may be why I am so fond of McCarter - that and their glorious, annual Christmas Carol, which we faithfully attended when we lived in New Jersey.

I came to Nashville as a country/folk singer because this is where that part of the music industry is and because the record labels were calling. I stayed here because it's an easy place to live, work, meet people and raise a *****. Bloom where you are planted - I got transplanted here, and here's where I have bloomed.

My husband, Chris, and I moved to Nashville to be involved in the music business - I was a singer at the time and had gotten some interest from a couple of record labels. So, we packed it up and moved here to build our "team." I struggled - a thousand miles away from our support system of family and friends who believed in us, I felt terribly alone.

What was your first taste of theatre?

Miss Adelaide from Guys and Dolls (because she is my favorite character in musical theatre), Susan Coyne (because she is a talented playwright, who has become a friend but lives in Canada so we've never met) and my husband, Chris (TWTP's producer and "lifter of heavy things") because I know he'd like to meet them both, too!

Go to college (not a conservatory program, but a real liberal arts college) and get your degree! I don't care what you get your degree in. You may think that you don't need to go to college to be an actor. You are wrong. You will have opportunities in academic theatre that you may not have for many years (playing older people), or that you may never have in the "real" world. You'll work more in a semester (in scene study and acting classes, as an actor for students studying directing, etc.) than a struggling actor may work in a year or more. And working is where you get your chops. Your brain will be stimulated in college in a way that it will never be anywhere else. You will have to take classes and be forced to think about things other than theater -- that's good! Intelligent, well educated, well-rounded individuals make fine actors - and fine actors get the work. There's the additional benefit that you will make contacts with people whose careers will grow with yours - people who are also beginning their professional careers.

Who would play you in the film version of your life story?

Why do you pursue your art in Nashville? What are the best parts of working here?

BWW Interviews: Maryanna Clarke, A Life in the Theatre

It seems as if Maryanna Clarke is always in motion: As the founding artistic director of the Nashville-based Tennessee Women's Theatre Project, she always has multiple irons in the fire. As the mom of college student Kate (upon whom she dotes -- and of whom she is justifiably proud), she has all the responsibilites of motherhood on her shoulders. And as the wife of Chris Clarke (her theatrical partner-in-crime aka producer), she's got the wife role down pat!

Then I started to have voice problems, which went misdiagnosed for years. We'd been here for a few years, and I had a day job as a temporary legal secretary at a big downtown firm. It was a lovely spring day, and I was sitting on the steps in front of the building. I'd just finished my lunch and had closed my eyes to do some "visualizations" - you know: imagining myself in the successful career for which I'd been planning for years. Suddenly a strong voice inside me said, with absolute clarity, "it's not there for you." My eyes popped open and I looked around to see if maybe I had overheard someone's conversation. No one was there. Yikes!

If you could have dinner with any three figures (living or dead, real or fictional) who are a part of the THEATRE, who would you choose and why?

When did you know you wanted to pursue a career in theatre?

My first real job was as an actor. In high school I played Zaneeta Shinn in a production of The Music Man.

I continued to pursue the music career - I didn't know what else to do! I had a voice coach, Phoebe Binkley, who had seen me struggle with my voice for a while. During one lesson, she suggested I give myself a break. Singing had become so difficult. She said I should not worry about singing for a while, and do something else creative. She suggested taking an acting class. So, I looked for a beginners class and took it. It didn't take long for me to realize where my true creative home was - in the theatre. That was over 20 years ago.

Isabella Rossellini

Originallyknown in Nashville theatre circles as an actress, Maryanna first gained notice, both critical and otherwise, for her roles in Guys and Dolls, Blithe Spirit and Steel Magnolias, working for a whole slew of local companies, includingMansker Players, ACT1 and Circle Players, during her acting career.Now, however, she's best known for creating the Tennessee Women's Theatre Project, which has gained notoriety in its brief existence for tackling works heretofore unproduced in the area,timberland boots usa, giving voice to new playwrights and allowing local actors the opportunity to get in on the ground floor, as it were, of some compelling original theatre.

What's your favorite play/musical?

Oh, gosh - like asking a parent to choose their favorite *****! There isn't one, but I'll give you the short list of the ones I love most and equally (in alphabetical order): Almost, Maine, Arcadia,Guys and Dolls and Kingfisher Days.

I started my theater career as an actor. The same voice problem that ended my singing career also ended my acting career. When I started to answer this question, I thought I would pick a play I love or a role I've loved and let the actor in me choose something I can no longer do. But, you know, if I had it to do over, with the exception of the lack of a voice, I wouldn't change the outcome. I direct what I want, mount the productions that I want, meet talented actors, make friend with wonderful playwrights, and don't look back - only forward. I don't know what show I want do because I'm always looking for new works,mbt shoes clearance, and chances are I haven't discovered it yet!

If you could play any role, direct any work, design any production, mount any production...what would it be and why?

Imagine a young person seeing you onstage or seeing a production in which you played a major role coming up to you and asking you for advice in pursuing their own theatrical dream...what would you say?

Somehow, Maryanna found time to answer our questions and to give Nashville.BroadwayWorld.com readers a glimpse into her "Life in the Theatre." And here's a little nugget of information left out of the interview: Maryanna's New Year's resolution is to work outside of her TWTP environs -- maybe even direct a show outside of her adopted Tennessee home -- in 2010. Any takers?

Posted: 1/28/2010
Bravo to director Lou Pepe (what a debut!), the committed cast, the brilliant designer, the LA Times's perspicacious critic (who wrote an unqualified rave). In fact, the reviews are virtually all raves; this for a production, in a small theatre, of a less well-known Tennessee Williams play, at a modest ticket price. Frankly, I feared this diamond might be -- like that gem of purest ray serene -- born to blush unseen. It MUST be seen. Pilgrimages should be made to it. Valentine Xavier is simply the perfect part for Gale Harold, and he the perfect actor for it. "Orpheus Descending" has failed with Cliff Robertson, failed with Marlon Brando. The qualities the male lead requires are seldom available in one package. And Denise Crosby, in a part played by Maureen Stapleton, Anna Magnani and Vanessa Redgrave, is equally stunning. With Harold and his colleagues, this play has triumphed. And make no mistake: it is not to be missed. Williams must be looking down in tears from the heavenly grass.

Doesn't it seem like both companies are taking too much credit for this production? Rep Stage and Baltimore Shakespeare both ought to tone down the volume of "taking credit" and boasting of this production and these award nominations. The bragging is not just here on the Broadway World site from Baltimore Shakespeare, but it',reviews mbt shoes;s all over the Rep Stage site. It seems to me that it just shows how small time these companies are. Can you imagine people from Centerstage and Woolly Mammoth being engaged in something as petty as this mud slinging? No? Me either. And the bitching from inside Baltimore shakespeare and from (apparently disgruntled) former employees has been going on for years! Is anyone else tired of this? I suppose they would be in a better position today if everyone would have just spent more energy on the plays themselves rather than the endless battles between former and current members of the festival.

Oh, I disagree. I think shame on Rep Stage for taking credit for a production that was directed and created for BSF. All Rep Stage did was plop down the production on their more comfortable, better theater. Rep Stage ought to stop embarrassing itself for trying to steal credit for BSF's work who are FINALLY trying to turn themselves around artistically. Rep Stage under previous administrations wouldn't have to sink to this level. They regularly won Helen Hayes Awards for their own work.

While the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival and Producing Artistic Director Michael Carleton is exploiting this moment in an attempt to garner an inch of limelight as they stand in the shadow of Rep Stage's Helen Hayes nominations for its production of Wittenberg it would be honorable, indeed wise, for them to remember their own Producing Artistic Decision to not co-produce this production. Their sly and backhanded 'congratulations' to Rep Stage here only adds to this embarrassing situation. If this is the ethical compass guiding the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival...well to quote the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival's raison d'etre, "Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite by bare imagination of a feast?"

I saw Wittenberg at both theatres and thought it was great at both. Seth Reichgott was fantastic - they deserve the nominations and I hope they win. That said, the show at Rep Stage was pretty identical to the one at Baltimore Shakespeare. It was the same actors and director, wearing what looked like the same costumes, and it was just 2 months later. Their stages are shaped differently, but I just sort of assumed the show had simply moved and adjusted to the new space. I was thrilled to see it again.

I am curious, Mr. Allens, as to why you would insult the dedicated artists who crafted this production (both at BSF and Rep) by suggesting that they put no effort into the latter show. Isn't it possible that they improved upon their earlier work? Learned from mistakes? Built on strengths? Honed their performances? To suggest that they merely "plopped" this production down in a "more comfortable, better theater" discredits you and shows your clear lack of understanding for the process of art.

Posted: 1/28/2010
The fact is that BSF was NOT nominated. BSF chose NOT to co-produce after pursuing co-producing and then backing out after the show was announced in the Rep season. To retroactively take credit for a production they had decided to turn their back on (and fire people over) is a desperate act to grab at glory received by another company. Another misrepresentation? Note the NEA logo sent with the release - this is not for Wittenberg. The NEA supports the upcoming production of Hamlet, but somehow BSF believes the NEA logo will give its press release credibility. A risky move if the NEA were to find out it was being misrepresented. But that is the new culture of the BSF. Misrepresent facts for its own benefit regardless of consequences.

Fabf Browserless Windows 7 refuses to go gracefull

"Microsoft is working to refresh its international online store sites, just like retailers are now," the software maker said in a statement. The fact that the "E" versions were still listed was first noted by enthusiast site AeroXP.

Although the UK site seems to have it right, many of the non-English sites, including Spanish,hair straighteners, Dutch, and German versions, list only the "E" or "N" versions of the operating system. As it did with Vista, Microsoft does plan to continue selling an "N" version in Europe, which has the media player removed.

As first reported by CNET News,ugg sale, Microsoft told computer makers in June that it planned to shipWindows 7 without a browser in Europe to try to address regulators' issues. However, both competitors and regulators expressed concerns with that plan. Ultimately,brown timberland boots, Microsoft reversed itself and said it was open to the "ballot screen" idea where consumers can choose which browsers they wish to install.

During her years at CNET News, Ina Fried has changed beats several times, changed genders once, and covered both of the Pirates of Silicon Valley. These days, most of her attention is focused on Microsoft. E-mail Ina.

Curiously, though, the "E" versions are still listed for sale on several versions of Microsoft's European online store. Nor did the software maker have a clear explanation of why those versions are still listed, weeks after the company said that it would ship the same version globally.

Browserless Windows 7 refuses to go gracefully

In any case, Microsoft is being clear that it has no plans to ship a browserless version--those that preorder the "E" version will get the standard version.

Earlier this week, Microsoft said that it would end on September 1 an offer to European buyers to get the full version of Windows 7 for the upgrade price, a relic of the browserless plan in which Microsoft said it would sell only the full version of the operating system.

With its plans now centered on creating a ballot screen where users can choose which browsers to install, Microsoft has no plans to ever ship the browserless "E" versions of Windows 7.

Microsoft says it doesn't plan to ever ship a browserless "E" version of Windows 7, though that's still the version being offered by many of its European online stores.

Seit Wochen hatten hunderte Hamburger gegen den Verkauf und für den Erhalt des Viertels gek?mpft. Noch am Mittwoch hatten mehrere hundert Menschen demonstriert, auch Hamburger Architekten setzten sich für das G?ngeviertel ein. Seit über zwei Monaten hatten zudem mehr als 200 Künstler H?user im Viertel besetzt gehalten. Der Protest richtete sich gegen die Stadtentwicklung, die ausschlie?lich die Grundstückswerte sehe, nicht aber ein Stück jahrhundertealte Baukultur. Die Sanierung müsse in jedem Fall durch die Stadt,ghd mk4, nicht durch einen Investor erfolgen. Nur so k?nne das G?ngeviertel als Kultur- und Künstlerviertel erhalten bleiben.

Jetzt scheint der Erfolg zum Greifen nah: Die Stadt Hamburg will das G?ngeviertel von Hanzevast zurückkaufen. Darüber bestehe zwischen den Beteiligten grunds?tzlich Einigung. Mindestens zwei Millionen Euro soll der Stadt die Erhaltung des historischen Arbeiterviertels wert sein. Endgültig fest steht allerdings noch nichts, bisher sei noch kein Vertrag unterschrieben worden. Auch was genau im Falle eines erfolgreichen Rückkaufs mit dem Viertel geschieht, ist unklar. Für die Künstler würde er also zun?chst nur einen Etappensieg bedeuten.

Gemütliche enge Gassen und H?fe, Ateliers und zahlreiche Künstler – so kannte man das Hamburger G?ngeviertel bisher. Allerdings war das historische Arbeiterviertel auch dringend sanierungsbedürftig. Der niederl?ndische Investor Hanzevast hatte aber keineswegs eine Sanierung im Sinne des Kultur- und Denkmalschutzes ins Auge gefasst. Vielmehr war geplant,mbt shoes clearance, das G?ngeviertel zu einem Szeneviertel zu machen – Büros und vor allem kostspielige Wohnungen inklusive.
