From the Promoter: Remember when you were a little kid, lying in bed, wide awake in the dark as your imagination got the better of you? Picture that, and add live indie-pop accompaniment from Belaire and Fancy Feast, five of Austin's most talented dancers, and one heaping truckload of feathers. Join Yellow Tape as we re-invent the "dance show", and make it a dance epic. "I'm super-pumped about this show. The dancers are awesome, Belaire is the hippest indie-pop band in Austin, and the design is knocking my socks off! I can't wait!" -- Amanda Butterfield, Cha Cha Chaaa Choreographer and Yellow Tape Co-Artistic Director. ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER: Amanda Butterfield was last seen choreographing the outrageous musical numbers in Yellow Tape's smash hit I Love My Dead Gay Son: The Musical! Before moving to Austin, she created Studio Air, a performance space in Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg neighborhood and was the Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed New Roots Dance Art (NYC).
METHUEN, Mass. Federal safety regulators are fining a construction company more than 167-thousand dollars for failing to provide protection to employees working at a Billerica construction site. Multi Building Incorporated of Lewisville, Texas faces nine alleged violations at the Villas at Old Concord site. Two OSHA fines totaling 140-thousand dollars are for willful violations. Seven serious citations totaling more than 27-thousand dollars were issued for failing to train employees in fall protection, failing to prevent falls of more than six feet and other hazards at the site.

Even after the procrastination of consecutive 5 years the authorities concerned has failed to complete the construction work of Swadhinata Stambha at Shawrawardi Uddan in the capital city. The Tk 1.29 billion project of constructing a Swadhinata Stambha was taken by the previous government at fag end of its tenure and was not able to float tender for completing the construction work. After assuming power in 2001 the present coalition government has not shown any keen interest to start the formal procedure to start the construction work. At one stage it was about to cancel the project but due to the political consideration it curtailed the project to Tk 1.0 billion. Though it floated tender several times for starting the construction work of the main Swadhinata Stambha, it has been cancelled and the construction work of Swadhinata Stambha remained a mirage over the years.
Ranchi, Oct 14. (PTI): Jharkhand Deputy Chief Minister Stephen Marandi on Friday said the previous NDA Government had left the state with a "debt". "I don't know how much debt the Government owes to the Centre, but this much I know that the State is in debt and I inherit an empty coffer despite the previous Government having three supplementary budgets", said Marandi, who would take charge of the Finance Department today. "I have to do a lot of home work to set things right first", Marandi told PTI in reply to a query on his priorities as Finance Minister. To a query on the UPA Government having two deputy Chief Ministers that had not gone down well with Enos Ekka, Marandi said "It's not a new thing (in the country). There has been precedence like this". Ekka, who holds the rural development, transport and building construction departments, on Friday made a sarcastic remark saying "why not have five Deputy Chief Ministers instead of two".
A Somerville nonprofit organization is moving forward with plans to build apartments and condos on the St. Polycarp Church property in Winter Hill. The Somerville Community Corporation was to go before the Board of Aldermen last week to request a zoning change allowing retail and office space on the ground floor of the apartment building the organization is proposing to build there. The corporation bought the three-acre parcel and its buildings, including the church, rectory, and school, from the Archdiocese of Boston for $4.6 million in September 2005. In 1999, the archdiocese had asked another Somerville parish, St. Ann Church, to absorb St. Polycarp's parishioners. ``We've been very excited about this project," said Kristin Blum, the nonprofit corporation's director of housing development.
