Death of a Salesman in Hillsboro
Playwright and essayist Arthur Miller (October 17, 1915 - February 10, 2005) needs little introduction. More than any other playwright, he dedicated himself to the investigation of the moral plight of the white American working class. With a sense of realism and a strong ear for the American vernacular, Miller created characters whose voices are an important part of the American landscape. His insight into the psychology of desperation and his ability to create stories that express the deepest meanings of struggle made him one of the most highly regarded and widely performed American playwrights.
In 1949, Arthur Miller's most famous and well-respected play "Death of a Salesman" premiered. "Death of a Salesman" focuses on a failed businessman as he tries to remember and reconstruct his life. Eventually killing himself to leave his son insurance money, the salesman seems a tragic character out of Shakespeare or Dostoevsky. Winning both a Pulitzer Prize and a Drama Critics Circle Award, the play ran for more than seven hundred performances. With its incisive critique of the American Dream and how economic circumstances can drive personal despair, the play is a true classic, as timely today as sixty years ago.*
Bag&Baggage Productions opens its 2009-2010 theatre season with "Death of A Salesman," starring Dr. Marion Rossi of OSU as Willy Loman. Director Scott Palmer has created a production which focuses on the authenticity and voice of each character, and how they affect one another. The Lomans are one family in Brooklyn. We may find them a metaphor for what's wrong with the American dream, but to them, their story is intimate and very personal…and that is, in the end, how we perceive it as well.

online note taking tools
Google Notebook is going away. Wah!
I wouldn't care so much if I didn't ask my students to make use of online notetaking tools during their research. So, here is the result of my very short quest to find a (FREE) replacement (for tomorrow's class).
I started with an article that compares/contrasts some tools.
http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/05/28/7-apps-for-online-note-taking/
I chose two to look at, based on the article:
1. Notefish
http://www.notefish.com/index.php
My main hang-up with this service is that it requires that you download the widget that works with your browser to copy/paste things to your notefish notebooks.
The interface is limited--you can only copy/paste things to the notebook; you cannot link to them for example. Only text and pictures are available. However, I like simplicity. If I'm writing a research paper, why would I need to put videos in my notebook? Fewer features=fewer distractions.
I could live with all of these if it weren't for the downloaded widget. This makes the tool less useful because people like students who use different computers (and computers they don't have admin priviledges for) can't use the service at a library computer, for example.
2. Zoho Notebook
http://notebook.zoho.com/nb/login.do?serviceurl=%2Fnb%2Findex.do
At first, I didn't like this one as much as Notefish because it seemed overly complicated. It has so many features, most of which I know I'll never use and that most of my students won't use while researching an academic paper.
However, it has not silly widget-thingy to download, which means that my information is available on any computer with an internet connection. Plus, it looks very easy to export the notebook pages into something my computer could read off-line. Plus-plus, it has a tool to import my existing Google Notebook pages (I suspected this might be the case when it told me that I could log on using my google login).
And, I got to liking the over abundance of features. Plus, the way the pages are set up as tabs in the "books" makes it really easy to navigate around.
I miss Google Notebook, but maybe I'll learn to like these others.
