The '80s are a tough decade to emulate. Go too far and you're making fun; don't go far enough and, well, what's the point? And so it is a pleasant surprise to see that Jeff Favre's 1980s garage-band musical, "The Next Big Thing," puts just enough '80s kitsch into its storyline, costumes and decor to stir up a little collared-shirt and silk-vest nostalgia - but not so much that it becomes one big MTV-style flashback.

NEW YORK - Not until the final, upset-clinching ace sailed beyond the reach of her heavily favored opponent did Christina McHale break her stoic visage. The mask of calm evaporated, replaced by an electric smile and accompanied by the pose of a victor. Two arms raised to the sky, McHale all but bounded to the net to shake hands with Marion Bartoli, the No. 8 seed here at the U.S. Open whom McHale had just bounced from the second round, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2.

The center proposed for Holyoke amounts to a large, concerted effort to catch up, said Wilson, who told BusinessWest, in essence, that the state cannot afford to fall further behind.\n To effectively harness the hydro power, the facilities will likely be located on or near the city's canals, said Sullivan, adding quickly that it remains to be seen whether the initiative will involve new construction, renovati...
WASHINGTON - Accountable care organizations take up only seven pages of the massive new health care law, yet they've become one of the most talked about provisions. This latest model for delivering services offers doctors and hospitals financial incentives to provide good quality care to Medicare beneficiaries while keeping down costs.
