Big ideas, passion for leading Playhouse | CommunityPress.com | cincinnati.com

Blake Robison, who will take over from Ed Stern in July as artistic director of Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, wants a Big Tent.

Robison, 45, currently the producing artistic director at the Round House Theatre in Bethesda, Md., plans to "invite a lot of people under that tent."

Robison will be in and out of Cincinnati for the remainder of this season - "all my vacation time and a whole bunch of weekends" - to meet the community and plan the 2012-13 season before he formally joins Playhouse on July 1. While in Cincinnati Thursday for the announcement by the Playhouse board that he had been named to the new position after a one-year national search, Robison answered a few questions for The Enquirer.

Google Chrome má tah na branku, Firefox ztratil dech

Dnes 6:25 Jiří Macich ml.

Tvůrci prohlížečů doslova bombardují uživatele novými verzemi svých výtvorů. Roste však s číslem verze také podíl na trhu? Pro Mozilla Firefox to neplatí. Na záda mu navíc dýchá Google Chrome. Může být naprostou jedničkou?

Prohlížeč Google Chrome v září oslavil de facto teprve své třetí narozeniny , ale tah na branku se mu upřít nedá.

The best used cars and SUVs for the money - Money - TODAY.com

It’s never been more difficult for buyers to find a bargain in the used car market. Fortunately we’ve dug deep into the data to identify 11 worthy late-model cars and SUVs that are truly great deals.

According to the used-car valuation experts at Kelley Blue Book, the average value of a one- to three-year-old used vehicle has increased from $15,000 in 2008 to more than $23,000 in 2011, which amounts to an average boost of nearly 16 percent per year. This is causing an affordability problem among cash-strapped buyers who can’t otherwise afford a new car, which on average costs nearly $30,000 according to the industry research and forecasting company TrueCar.com.
