...child-care providers whose chief aim is satisfying shareholders should not be receiving government help: "When you have subsidies available to large corporations, they will come in and subsidy farm." Critics of private care argue that it puts shareholders' interests before children's - and parents'. Community-based centers, by contrast, encourage parental involvement in everything from choosing meals to setting opening hours. "They felt like businesses, not child care," says Jill, a mother who visited several private centers in search of a place for her children. But Martin Kemp, ABC's ceo for Australia and New Zealand, dismisses the criticisms...
...audience filed in and then throughout the piece, and he succeeded in demanding the audience’s attention despite the activity of the other characters. As the director, O’Donovan’s manic and deranged demeanor lent the play humor and also created a contrast with the silent stillness of the Protagonist. The first play segued without pause into “Rough For Theater 1,” with the transition marked simply by a lighting change and Fishburn making his slow way down from the pedestal to the stage to play the blind fiddler...
...three pointers in the first half and was 11-for-23 for the game. Freshmen Adam Gore and Brian Keefer each hit four threes, several from well beyond the arc, and finished as the high scorers for the game with 16 and 14 points, respectively.

"There's no controversy," says Erlandson, who has investigated cave sites in the same region. "It hardly ever hits the papers." Of about the same vintage as Kennewick Man and found at around the same time, the Alaskan bones, along with other artifacts in the area, lend strong support to the coastal-migration theory. "Isotopic analysis...
...kelp forests, even in Peru and Chile," he says. "The thing about kelp forests is they're extremely productive." They not only provide abundant food, from fish, shellfish, seals and otters that thrive there, but they also reduce wave energy, making it easier to navigate offshore waters. By contrast, the inland route along the ice-free corridor would have presented travelers with enormous ecological variability, forcing them to adapt to new conditions and food sources as they traveled...
