...collection of fairy-tale characters, from Pinocchio to the Three Bears, who are evicted from the kingdom by the pint-size despot Lord Farquaad, do a bouncy lament for their sorry plight, "Story of My Life," that is a high point, even if the screechy characters wear a little thin as the evening goes on. Composer Jeanine Tesori (with lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire) has supplied a few other cute numbers, most of them straightforward Broadway pop but with an occasional blues-rock beat, as in the funny, flatulence-enlivened love duet between Shrek and Fiona, "I Think...

Instead, Rourke, who had been a serious amateur boxer as a teenager, went professional, submitting himself to the rigorous training, abuse...
Stronger concrete translates into significant gains for the environment because it can be applied more thinly, consuming considerably fewer raw materials than regular concrete. (The basic mixture includes cement, stone or other aggregate and water.) Moreover, concrete has some properties that make it intrinsically energy-efficient when used in buildings. It insulates well because it's poured and thus doesn't let in wind and water. Its density also means that it stores heat during the day and releases it at night, making it possible to save on air-conditioning and heating. Architects including Ferrier are playing with such possibilities...
...year-old mother of three lay on an exam table in the office of her ob-gyn, Dr. Alan Bennett, with her feet in stirrups and her husband by her side. She was awake and relaxed enough to let me watch (weird, I know) as Bennett inserted first a thin camera into her uterus and then, using a video monitor as a guide, a small coil into each of her Fallopian tubes. Afterward, Jackson walked to her car and went home to her kids. (See the Year in Health, from...
