The personalized ornament announcing our son’s engagement is special because it ushered in the age of in-laws and grandparenting. Las Vegas was the usual family destination and the venue whereupon he popped the question so the ball reminds us of that experience with my Mom along.

Libresco: I do, but I had to work myself up to it a bit! (And I have to not elbow my way onto the subway if people are going to spot me as a Christian once I get on.) In a city, I’m never the strangest thing anyone will see. I pray in public because I want to invite God into my life everywhere, and not confine Him to my parish and my bedroom.

Because we expect to be a controlled company as of the closing of this offering within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will not be required to, and do not currently expect to, have a compensation committee as of the closing of this offering. If and when we are no longer a controlled company within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will be required to establish a compensation committee. We anticipate that such a compensation committee would consist of three directors each of whom will be “independent” under the rules of the SEC, Sarbanes Oxley and the NYSE. This committee would establish salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for officers and other employees. Any

The members of Blues Traveler aren’t strangers to the notion of battling through adversity. When the band sat on the precipice of their 30th anniversary—without a record label, and their relationship with then-management decaying—they closed ranks, decamped to Nashville and went to work. Nearly two years, and two managers later, Blues Traveler has returned with Hurry Up & Hang Around, an album that rolls out a panoramic picture of their three decades together. Popper firmly believes it ranks among their best offerings to date.

Although President Trump’s administration implemented (i) a 25% tariff on imported steel products, including pipe equivalent, originating from all countries except Argentina, Australia, Brazil and South Korea, and (ii) absolute annual quotas on certain imported steel products, including pipe equivalent, originating from Argentina, Brazil and South Korea, and anti-dumping and countervailing duty remedies are in place against pipe producers in China and other countries, these tariffs, quotas and remedies could be modified or revoked. Anti-dumping and countervailing duty remedies, which impose special duties designed to offset unfair pricing and foreign government subsidization, are subject to annual administrative reviews that may be requested by various foreign and domestic parties and may be revoked as a result of periodic “sunset reviews”. We cannot predict the U.S. government’s future actions regarding duties, tariffs, quotas or any other trade restrictions on imports of OCTG and line pipe and any changes that may be made. If any of the protections currently in place or forthcoming in the United States prove to be insufficient or are revoked, we could face increased competition from lower-cost foreign imports into these markets that could adversely affect our sales volume, revenue and profitability and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

What’s your take on IDC crimps? They are faster with the right machinery. Do you feel they are as good?

Winfrey went on to coproduce, and costar in, DuVernay’s Selma—an 128-minute retelling of the efforts of King and the people of Alabama to help secure the Voting Rights Act of 1965. (DuVernay brought her father along while scouting locations.) The movie received a 2015 Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, but neither DuVernay nor Oyelowo were nominated for Best Director or Best Actor; those snubs were galvanizing factors in the #OscarsSoWhite movement, which took Hollywood to task for not acknowledging creators of color. About a year later, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a series of measures to better promote diversity and inclusion among its Oscar voters; “Shame is a helluva motivator,” DuVernay tweeted.

Some drivers and cyclists are taking their city driving habits into the park and up the narrow, curvy two-lane route to the summit. When the two meet, you can get cyclists who ride in the middle of the road and shout obscenities at passing cars, and at the same time, enraged drivers who feel blocked and then squeeze cyclists to a sliver of pavement along a rough-edged shoulder.
