Bittner discussed the selection with other friends, but it was not until last summer, when he asked Carmichael to join him in the endeavor, that the idea became a reality. Together the two are co-directing, co-designing and co-producing the show. Though both enjoy the process, each expresses reservations about doing it all together...
...bulls are betting that Fiorina does not need Capellas to boost HP's profits. Capellas is a "good friend who brought many talents and a lot of enthusiasm to this endeavor," she said in a memo to employees.

Daniel has brought in pizza and other snacks to sweeten the deal, and the sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong drift up from the stereo. Groups of chattering students are sprinkled around the room. Some sit at the round tables covered with paper, markers and other debris. Others are splayed on the floor with their materials spread around them, and a few are cozied up on the overstuffed couches that line two of the walls. Daniel bounds around the room in response to different students’ calls...
