Also, be sure that your Internet connection is working. Broadway in Utah is bringing the Tony winning sensation to Salt Lake City's Capitol Thek atre for a run in November. Tickets will be available exclusively online at www.ArtTix.org Monday morning from 12:01 a.m. until 9:59 a.m. After 10 a.m'., tickets will also be available via phone at and at all Art- -' (801) Tix outlets. Individual ticket prices range between $35 and $75. "The Producers," based on Brooks' 1968 film of the same title, is the story of a producer and accountant who scheme to grab cash from unsuspecting investors by hatching a bogus musical called "Springtime for Hitler."

The cohesive gel implants now under investigation are similar to the original implants of decades ago, said Dr. Rod Rohrich, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and chairman of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "When implants first came out, they were like this," said Rohrich "But the demand was to make implants softer, so they added more oil. Now we're coming full circle with surgery.

One criticism of the cohesive gel implants is that they may prove to be too rigid for some women. Also, because the implants are less flexible, surgeons may need to make a slightly larger incision to place the implants into the breast, Adams said. Capsular contracture, which sometimes occurs with other types of implants, could also occur with cohesive gel implants, experts note. That condition, in which scar tissue forms around the implant, makes the breast feel hard. And, Adams adds, even leakage of the silicone from a cohesive gel implant, while unlikely, cannot be ruled out based on studies so far. "Right now there is no way to say scientifically that the cohesive gel won't leak," he said. d Author blogs often have a light, conversational tone, much like postcards or telephone calls. Weiner might confide she's doing laundry, or re- port that her baby daughter can now flip over from back to stomach. Gaiman, author of the "Sandman" comic book series, interweaves reader comments with his own responses. On Cook's blog, the author includes photos and commentary from a writer's conference she attended last sum- - ' mer, highlights from a recent tour and reviews of her latest media." Mixed feelings M.J. Rose, a novelist whose books include "The Halo Effect" and "Lip Service," says she has mixed feelings about online journals. A leading advocate of writers using the Interne she wonders how many new readers blogs attract and thinks a blog should reflect personal passion, not prof novel, "Multiple Choice," about a mother and daughter going to college at the same time.

But it's a still a great way to let readers feel like they're part of your life," says Cook, who has also written "Ready to Fall" and "Must ( tar-gete- Conversational tone , DAILY like to write long Publishers, too, are divided. At Viking Penguin, which publishes Cook, executive editor Pamela Dorrnan says she end courages blogs "as a very and effective way to increase word of mouth." However, she! adds that it's too soon to know if blogs help sales. At Farrar, Straus & Giroux, where one prominent author, Shirley Hazzard, doesn't even own an answering machine, president Jonathan Galassi says he doesn't pay much attention to blogs. "Maybe we're behind the times," says Galassi, who pubaulishes such award-winnin- g thors as Hazzard, Susan Son-ta- g and Jonathan Franzen. "I just think there are too many words out there already. I hope our writers will be spending their time writing their books, not their blogs." "In general, blogs don't make a lot of sense for literary fiction authors," Dorman says. "Their audience is more accustomed to seeking information through reviews and tradition-a- l al calculation. "A blog can't be a promotional tool first. It has to be rooted in a subject the author cares about, is interested in, and has something to say about," she wrote in her own blog, which started in August and focuses on the marketing of books. . Love Dogs." Writers who don't keep blogs often cite lack of interest or lack of time. "No," says author A.M. Homes, when asked if she would start a blog. "Without a doubt. No. I'm too busy writing to do a blog." Even those who have worked extensively with the Internet have resisted. Fiction writer Robert Olen Butler, who once composed a short story online in real time, says he can't bring himself to maintain an online journal. "I don't write nonfiction," says Butler, whose story collection, "A Good Scent From a Strange Mountain," won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993. "I am so against writing nonfiction that it makes me physically ill. I admire people who do it, and I love to read it, but I don't even "This blog is about marketing, not because I don't have I passion for my own fiction do you can't write novels without it but I don't have a burning desire to describe my writing life.

I know that if those people who make fun of her knew what she had been through, they wouldn't make fun of her. What should I do? Rebecca, 14, Fortuna, Calif. 4 1 Your friend is lucky to have someone as protective as you are in her life. But giving the people who torment her this information could really backfire. Imagine if they used it to make fun of her more? I know that seems beyond cruel and hard to imagine, but remember the people you're dealing with here: , They are harassers! That's besides the point anyway, because it's not your place to tell them this is very personal information. The best you can do is just keep being her friend. I'm assuming her parents are in the loop and she's already gotten professional help to deal with what happened, but if not, tell her to call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at because you can't be the only person to be there for her right now that's too much responsibility. Hi And maybe that's why you're considering taking a step like this to help her. She needs her friends, yes. But she also needs a counselor. I am bulimic, and I need help.

There's nothing wrong with the religion or anything; it's just that I don't have a religion. I had a boyfriend a few years back who was Catholic, and his mom made him dump me because I wasn't.
