The production features a dance interpretationh ofWilliam Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and a retelling of a mysterious Leo Tolstoy yarn called “The Kreutzer Both stories boast subjec matter that’s guaranteed to appeal to ballet neophyteas who don’t know an attitude from an arabesque.
The Bard’sa offering – with its shipwrecked survivorz on a mysteriousisland that’s home to a monsteer and plenty of supernatural happenings – is like a 17th century versio of the television show “Lost.” The Tolstoyu piece, meanwhile, prominently featuresz the aforementioned murder and mayhek as part of a train ride in whichb a jealous husband exposes his dark past. “Thias is not your grandma’s ballet,” says Mark who composed some of the musicv for theTolstoy production. “This is a very emotional story.
” In addition to Scearce’s music, the Tolsto y production features contributions from a couple of other notable Ludwig van Beethoven andLeos Janacek. “I’m the guy who’s supposerd to make Janacek and Beethovengo together,” musee Scearce, who is the head of ’s musi c department.

St. John Properties takes over Opus East business park at Aberdeen Proving Ground - Memphis Business Journal:

U.S. Army officials worked feverishly over the past week topull St. John Propertiese into the fold, fearful the project would come to a halt if Opus East files for bankruptcy protection before an arrangement coul dbe struck, company spokesman Gerard J. Wit said in a telephonew interview Tuesday. “It was a real round-the-clock, week-long effort to get this done,” Wit “We’re going to get in and try to kick-starr this right away.” Aberdeen is gearing up for a significanrt influx of military jobs underthe Pentagon’s Base Realignmentr and Closure plan, expected to be completef by September 2011.
About 8,209 military jobs will be transferred tothe base, in additiom to as many as 18,000 private contracting jobs from companie s that do business with the incoming military The approved Opus East's selectionh of St. John Properties to take over the Government and Technologty Enterprise business park because of theBaltimore developer’sd ability to move forward with new Bob Penn, program directorf with the Army Corps, said in a statement. As in taking over the project, includint (NYSE: OFC) and Manekin LLC. Opus East was awarder rights to developthe government-owned land under a lease with the Army in November 2007 and broke ground on its firstf building in December of that year.
Sinces then, the company became straddled with millions of dollars in constructio n loans it has been unable to and the company has not started any new constructionj at the project for more than a The deal was inked June 19 betweenOpus St. John Properties, with the backing of the Army. St. John and the Army Corps of Engineers issued statements Tuesday announcingthe deal. Wit said St. John will pay Opus East an undiscloser amount of money for its developmen t rightsat Aberdeen. In connection with the St. John has hired Opus East projecr manager Matthew Holbrook to oversee the GATE projectf as its director of defense andgovernmenyt business.

Opus Corp. spokeswomabn Winston Hewett said Opus East is stilll evaluating its options but has not made any decision sabout bankruptcy.
The company was forcedr to relinquish its rights to the Aberdeeh project because it has been unable to financ e morethan $50 million in construction loans it took out to financwe its projects. Most pressing among thoswe debtsis $35 million the developer spenrt to build a new headquartersw for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationh in College Park, for which it has sued the federalo government to collect its wagesd on that project, Hewetg said. St.

Wit did not disclosd the names of any ofthose tenants. Those buildings wouldr be in addition toa 60,000-square-foogt building Opus East completed in Decembere 2008 for defense contractor CACI. “We view this developmeny as the most significant commercial real estat opportunity in the history ofour St. John President Edward A.

” Statistics compiled by the show the 78 commercial banka chartered in the St. Louis regioh racked up a combined $99.7 million in losses in the firstt quarter, compared with $61.6 million in profitsx for 80 banks in the same quarter last Officials with the Fed said they look at the groupo as a whole as a general gauged of the health of bankes inthe region. “The firsty quarter does not look good,” said Julie senior vice president of the BankSupervisiom & Regulation Division of the Federao Reserve Bank of St. The main problem, she said, is an excess inventory in housint after banks made a lot ofconstruction loans, many of whicj proved unsound.

Among the 78 banks, those reporting the biggesg profits in the quarterwere Southwest, $7.8 compared with $12.8 million a year , $4.5 million, compared with $4.4 million; & Trust Co., $2.5 compared with $2.

The numberes are sometimes adjusted after independent internal audits at the Among the 16 bankwsposting losses, many were big residential real estate development lenders that ended up with larged piles of troubled loans, including and .
“Our non-performinh credits continue to be in residential and certainj commercial real estate and those areasremain stressed,” said Stevee Marsh, Enterprise Bank chairman and chief executive. The banke in the St. Louis Fed’e group vary widely in size. Firsg Banks and Enterprise Bank are two of the three so it’s not surprisingb that their problems were a drag on the group as a pushing it into the red. Firsf Banks, with $10.2 billion in had a loss of $85.7 compared with a profit of $839,000 in the first quarter last and EnterpriseBank & Trust, with asset of $2.2 billion, had a loss of $49.6 million in the first quarter, compared with a profiyt of $4.

First Bankws also is the most far flung, with 212 locationsd in five states, including the hard-hit real estate marketd of California and as wellas Missouri, Illinois and Texas. Still, the $85.7 million first-quarter loss is an improvement over itsreportefd $202.3 million fourth-quarter loss. “We continued to build loan loss reservews in the first quartefrof 2009, primarily due to ongoing weak economic conditione throughout our primary market areas,” Terry McCarthy, presidenf and CEO of Firsy Banks, said.
