Bridge: Now you see it, now you don't

There is a play in bridge that has to be seen to be believed, and even after you've seen it, you may still not believe it. It rarely occurs in actual practice, but virtually every serious student of the game has encountered the play in bridge literature or theoretical discussions, and eagerly awaits the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to execute it at the table.

Hot Buttonz: It's Fight Night Round 4 by a knockout

A boxing game looking to draw players the into the ring needs to make sure they feel in complete control of the fighter's movements while providing graphics that live up to our ever increasing high-def expectations.

EA Sports scores on both with Fight Night Round 4, the new undisputed champion of the genre.

Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience: Youngsters who adore the Jonas Brothers will have fun at this movie. It contains virtually nothing offensive, unless parents are bothered by the mildly sensual style of dance the Jonas boys do onstage or the hilariously Freudian foam spray they aim at their audience in one silly concert bit. The film is a contrived and commercial bit of nothing.

Chester Theatre marks 20 years as small-cast company with big ideas

As the Chester Theatre Company celebrates its 20th anniversary this
summer, artistic director Byam Stevens has decided to mark the occasion
in precisely the same fashion in which the troupe has celebrated every
season since 1989. That's the year professional actor and director
Vincent Dowling introduced the Miniature Theatre of Chester - the
company's original name - to area audiences, producing small-cast,
big-idea contemporary plays that celebrate the beauty of the written -
and spoken - word.
