Bard in the Quad, Oregon State University’s popular outdoor summer Shakespeare program, returns for its fifth season with “Macbeth.” One of Shakespeare’s bloodiest tragedies, “Macbeth” will run Aug. 4-8 and Aug. 11-15, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on the Memorial Union quad.
Set in gritty Prohibition-era New Orleans, this production features Macbeth as the owner of a seedy nightclub and member of a powerful underworld crime syndicate. Beloved by local kingpin Duncan for his loyalty and fighting prowess, Macbeth’s thirst for power gets the better of him upon hearing the ominous premonitions of three mysterious ladies of the night.This production of Shakespeare’s classic tale of ruthless ambition features brutal street brawls, baseball-bat wielding thugs, jazz music, and clairvoyant prostitutes. The tagline for the play is: “Something wicked this way comes. Dirty. Sexy. Fun.”

In addition to the circumstantial evidence, Barteet testified that Forbes implicated Kyles in the killing after she was arrested with him in Mississippi. She said Kyles gave St. Pierre an undisclosed amount of money in exchange for using her Louisiana Purchase, or food stamp, card. Often, individuals with drug habits will earn extra money by exchanging their cards for cash at a deep discount, and St. Pierre had prior issues with narcotics abuse and prostitution.
…
But, Paul Fleming, one of Kyles’ attorneys from the Public Defender’s Office, said prosecutors have not been able to identify the specific weapon used to kill St. Pierre, have not found that weapon and have only speculation and the statements of a co-defendant to tie Kyles to St. Pierre’s death. Fleming questioned whether St. Pierre was even killed in Jefferson Parish, and it was he who introduced the information about Fleming’s drug use and prostitution. He asked Kiff to refuse the case, a request she ultimately denied.

State qualifying begins today
By The Associated Press
July 7, 2010
BATON ROUGE Louisiana’s campaign season opens today, when candidates begin signing-up for elections ranging from congressional seats and the lieutenant governor’s job to local mayor positions and city council races.
Candidates must submit their paperwork and pay their qualifying fee by 5 p.m. Friday.
Up for election are the state’s seven U.S. House seats and the lieutenant governor’s post that Mitch Landrieu left to become New Orleans mayor.
Topping the ballot is Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s bid for re-election to a second term, his first time facing voters after a 2007 prostitution scandal. Vitter faces Democrat Charlie Melancon, who’s leaving his congressional seat to challenge the incumbent senator.
One candidate who won’t be on the fall ballot is Gov. Bobby Jindal. The governor’s office continued Tuesday to dispel speculation that Jindal might mount a GOP challenge to Vitter in the hopes the sitting senator could be vulnerable and the Senate seat could offer an exit from the headaches of governing amid a massive oil spill and multibillion-dollar budget troubles.

Me, I paid homage with a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich at the Arcade restaurant, where the King used to dine. Sun Studios, where Elvis, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison recorded, is an essential visit.
Beale Street is the heartland for live music. I saw funk-driven sets in the Rum Boogie Bar and guitar hero BB King’s Blues Club. As well as the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, I could not miss Stax Museum of American Soul Music, built in a replica of the old Stax Records building, where many of the planet’s greatest records were made. Look ’em up.
I was driven there by Tad Pierson, who runs a tour service with his 1955 Cadillac. He can take you to some amazing bars, such as former brothel Earnestine & Hazel’s.

The evening was capped off with the Space Age Pimps themselves. I expected to get several clear shots of Eightball but for a big cat this dude couldn’t keep still. Ball and MJG ripped through their classics “Space Age Pimpin” and “You Don’t Want No Drama.” Ball spit the first verse of “Lay It Down” acapella. The audience was a little disappointed that they didn’t perform “Mr Big.” I don’t know if the management at Minglewood Hall were concerned about excessive rowdiness or what but I was ready to get my gangsta walk on. The duo finished off their set with their current joint “Bring It Back” and the title track to their new album Ten Toes Down. Bottom line, if you missed this concert, you need to slap yourself. A message to the recent wave of new artists coming up with their one hit wonders, gimmicks and swag movements: the o.g.’s from the South haven’t gone anywhere so step your game up.
