(AP) ? Harry Connick Jr.'s latest Broadway venture is ending earlier than he hoped.

Producers of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" said Thursday that the musical will play its final performance on Jan. 29.

When it closes, it will have played 29 preview and 57 regular performances.

The production has songs by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner that made its debut on Broadway in 1965 and was adapted into a 1970 film starring Barbra Streisand and Yves Montand.

The musical got mostly poor reviews when it opened last month. Last week, it took in $584,711 at the box office, or only about 42 percent of its potential.

Connick's last time on Broadway was in a concert show. He also starred in "The Pajama Game."

Valentine unimpressed with Yanks

I don?t know if Bobby Valentine will be as good a manager for the Red Sox as Terry Francona was. But I do get the sense that he?ll be more fun to have around. Because of fun stuff like this, when asked by Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York to comment on the Yankees? trade for Michael Pineda and the signing of Hiroki Kuroda:

?They?re probably an upgrade from Colon?and Garcia.?Probably. I don?t know. It seems it ??Pineda, when I saw him the first half, he looked unhittable. Second half, he looked OK.? [The Mariners] saw a lot of him and they traded him.?Kuroda is a good pitcher ? a year older than he was last year, pitching in the American League and not the National League, pitching in not a great pitcher?s ballpark from a great pitcher?s ballpark.?

All true statements. But all offered with the intention of being something of a pain to Yankees fans, I think. Or at least want to think.

See vets treat animals at Tampa's Busch Gardens

By Adrienne I. Pedersen, WFLA

TAMPA ? Watching surgery performed on a lion might seem like something you can only catch on National Geographic Channel, but starting Jan. 23, visitors to Busch Gardens can see it firsthand, NBC affiliate WFLA-TV reports.

A new $5 million Animal Care Center at the park will allow guests to learn about everything from animal nutrition to surgery.

Many of the animals at the state-of-the-art medical center will be treated in surgical rooms behind a floor-to-ceiling window. Guests can also see routine physicals, X-rays, dental care while the park's 2,000 animals are tended to in an interactive environment.

Internationally known animal expert Jack Hanna, who is scheduled to make appearances at Busch Gardens on Friday, said the only similar facility he has seen is in Australia.

"My mind is boggled seeing everything in here," Hanna said. "These are exotic animals. These aren't dogs and cats. In the zoo world before, no one really got to see that, and now everything is open basically."

So open you might even get more than you bargained for when you stop by a microscope.

"We look at all kinds of things under this microscope," said Nancy Stedman, a veterinary pathologist at the facility. "Guests will be able to see what we're looking at. They'll see everything from poop, pee and giraffe placenta."

Those looking for a less-intense experience can check out the kitchen. Experts will guide visitors through an animal diet.

"Similar to the cooking shows you see on TV, but instead of cooking food for people it'll be cooking for animals," said Jose Dominguez, a Busch Gardens educator.

Admission to the exhibit is included in the regular park fee. Busch Gardens is at 10165 N. McKinley Drive, off Busch Boulevard.

Huh-huh-huh-huh.

While you on vacation, my boss, Barack Obama, sign bill, make good holiday cheer for Knuckles!

What better time to sign bill than when whole nation is drunk!

Huh-huh-huh-huh.

Before, super-secret prison things I do were only legal in presidents' mind.

Now, they legal on paper, too!

Finally, indefi, indefin-- prison forever-- is US law, no need for stupid judges or constitutional stuff.

Me used to worry boss Obama would close Gitmo like he promise, but-- no worry!

Gitmo open and franchised . . . to Bagram and secret places around globe.

Because military tribunials are much better than sissy civilian courts.

Me not know what that chart just said. ?You try trick me!

And if you read law just right, it work on US citizens, too!

But don't worry, because Barack Obama said not to worry!

Announcer:

Goodness gracious, indefinite, preemptive or endless detention surely doesn't apply to US citizens unless current or future president says so. ?Don't you worry a bit.

Complete Civil War sub unveiled for first time

Confederate Civil War vessel H.L. Hunley, the world's first successful combat submarine, was unveiled in full and unobstructed for the first time on Thursday, capping a decade of careful preservation.

"No one alive has ever seen the Hunley complete. We're going to see it today," engineer John King said as a crane at a Charleston conservation laboratory slowly lifted a massive steel truss covering the top of the submarine.

About 20 engineers and scientists applauded as they caught the first glimpse of the intact 42-foot-long (13-meter-long) narrow iron cylinder, which was raised from the ocean floor near Charleston more than a decade ago. The public will see the same view, but in a water tank to keep it from rusting.

PhotoBlog: More images of the H.L. Hunley

"It's like looking at the sub for the first time. It's like the end of a long night," said Paul Mardikian, senior conservator since 1999 of the project to raise, excavate and conserve the Hunley.

In the summer of 2000, an expedition led by adventurer Clive Cussler raised the Hunley and delivered it to the conservatory on Charleston's old Navy base, where it sat in a 90,000-gallon tank of fresh water to leach salt out of its iron hull.

On weekdays, scientists drain the tank and work on the sub. On weekends, tourists who before this week could only see an obstructed view of the vessel in the water tank, now will be able to see it unimpeded.

Heartbreak of the Hunley
Considered the Confederacy's stealth weapon, the Hunley sank the Union warship Housatonic in the winter of 1864, and then disappeared with all eight Confederate sailors inside.

The narrow, top-secret "torpedo fish," built in Mobile, Ala., by Horace Hunley from cast iron and wrought iron with a hand-cranked propeller, arrived in Charleston in 1863 while the city was under siege by Union troops and ships.

In the ensuing few months, it sank twice after sea trial accidents, killing 13 crew members, including Horace Hunley, who was steering.

"There are historical references that the bodies of one crew had to be cut into pieces to remove them from the submarine," Mardikian told Reuters. "There was forensic evidence when they found the bones (between 1993 and 2004 in a Confederate graveyard beneath a football stadium in Charleston) that that was true."

The Confederate Navy hauled the sub up twice, recovered the bodies of the crew, and planned a winter attack.

On the night of Feb. 17, 1864, its captain and seven crew left Sullivan's Island near Charleston, and hand-powered the sub to the Union warship four miles (6.4 kilometers) offshore. From a metal spar on its bow, the Hunley planted a 135-pound (61-kilogram) torpedo in the hull of the ship, which burned and sank.

Some historians say that the submarine showed a mission-accomplished lantern signal from its hatch to troops back on shore before it disappeared.

What scientists have found
Mardikian has the lantern, which archaeologists found in the submarine more than a century later, in his laboratory.

Scientists removed 10 tons of sediment from the submarine, along with the bones, skulls and even brain matter of the crew members, Mardikian told Reuters. They also found fabric and sailors' personal belongings.

Facial reconstructions were made of each member of the third and final crew. They are displayed along with other artifacts in a museum near the submarine. In a nearby vault is a bent gold coin that archaeologists also found in the submarine. It was carried by the sub's captain, Lieutenant George Dixon, for good luck after it stopped a bullet from entering his leg during the Battle of Shiloh in 1862.

"The submarine was a perfect time capsule of everything inside," said Ben Rennison, one of three maritime archaeologists on the project.

The Hunley Project is a partnership among the South Carolina Hunley Commission, Clemson University Restoration Institute, the Naval Historical Center and the nonprofit Friends of the Hunley. The nonprofit group raised and spent $22 million on the project through 2010, a spokeswoman told Reuters.

The next phase of the project will be to remove corrosion on the iron hull and reveal the submarine's skin, preserve it with chemicals, and eventually display it in open air, Mardikian said.

Surprisingly sophisticated
Scientists have found the vessel to be a more sophisticated feat of engineering than historians had thought, said Michael Drews, director of Clemson's Warren Lasch Conservation Center.

"It has the ballast tanks fore and aft, the dive planes were counterbalanced, the propeller was shrouded," Drews said. "It's just got all of the elements that the modern submarines have, updated."

There were previous submarines, Drews said, but the Hunley, designed to sail in the open ocean and built for warfare, was cutting-edge technology at the time.

"Dixon's mission was to attack and sink an enemy ship and he did," Drews said. "At that particular time, the mindset of naval warfare was, basically, big ships sink little ships. Little ships do not sink big ships. And the Hunley turned that upside down."

German economy feared to have stalled (AP)

BERLIN ? Germany's economy slipped into reverse in the last quarter of 2011 in spite of showing strong overall growth for the year of 3 percent, the country's Federal Statistics Office said Wednesday.

While the overall 2011 growth figure was as expected by analysts, the statistics office also said that the German economy likely contracted by 0.25 percent in the last quarter of 2011. The exact figure for fourth quarter growth is due only in mid-February and could be revised.

Joerg Kraemer, the chief economist for Commerzbank, expressed little surprise regarding the slowdown and told German news agency dapd he expected the economy to shrink in the first quarter of 2012 as well. That would put it in a recession, technically defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction.

Most recent economic indicators suggest 2012 will be a tough year, both for Germany and the rest of Europe.

"While the German economy grew very strongly in the last two years, this year's growth will be much lower, especially because of the crisis in the eurozone," Ferdinand Fichtner, the head of the DIW economic institute, said in a statement.

The country's annual growth rate was achieved in spite of the financial crisis in Europe which has other economies such as Greece, Spain and Italy struggling with huge debts and slumping output.

"The German economy again grew robustly in 2011," the statistics office, Destatis, said in a statement.

Germany's 2011 growth puts it in a small group of strongly performing eurozone countries, along with Finland, Austria, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. France should see more moderate growth of around 1.7 for the year, according to the International Monetary Fund, while output stagnates amid high unemployment in Spain and Italy, the recent focus of the debt crisis.

Greece and Portugal, bailed out to avoid default, are in deep recessions.

Germany should outperform the United States, which announces 2011 GDP data on Jan. 27; the IMF has estimated 1.6 percent for the year. The figure remains far short of emerging economies such as China, estimated at 9.5 percent, and India at 7.8 percent.

But it did help bring Germany's deficit down to only 1 percent of gross domestic product, well below the limit of 3.0 percent enshrined in the eurozone's rules.

Germany's strongest growth was seen in the first six months of the year, when consumer spending rose 1.5 percent ? the biggest increase in five years.

In 2010, the German economy grew by 3.7 percent after a painful contraction of 5.1 percent in 2009, which was by far its worst showing since World War II.

Exports were also strong, according to Destatis, growing 8.2 percent compared with the year before. Imports rose 7.2 percent.

Simon Junker, an expert with the DIW institute, warned that expectations for the economy in 2012 were damped by the eurozone crisis and that both exports and imports would slow down.

"Germany's strongly export-driven economy will not be able to elude the slowdown of the global economy," Junker said. "Especially German exports will suffer from the eurozone crisis."

However, the DIW said, there is reason to be optimistic if the eurozone governments "manage to quickly and believably contain the crisis."

Woman campaigns to end canine cancer; Hemp City moves out ...

Happy Monday, Northwest Portland blog readers! Here's some news to get you caught up from the weekend:

-- Woman works to end canine cancer:
The Oregonian's freelance pet writer, Monique Balas, wrote a story published Friday about Warren resident Cera Reusser?s campaign to end canine cancer. She started the campaign to help fund cancer research after her beloved 6-year-old Labrador died of it.

The pup, named Chase, was treated at Northwest Portland's Veterinary Cancer Referral Center. For the full story, read The Oregonian's pet blog.

-- Hemp City moves out of Nob Hill: The January issue of The Northwest Examiner, a monthly newspaper based in and about Northwest Portland, had a brief about the quick exit of Hemp City, a medical marijuana dispensary that was located in Nob Hill.

The Examiner's story said "the business vacated suddenly in late December." And that the landlord, who lives in Canada, said the store "left without notice and without paying rent," the story said.

Hemp City was at 921 N.W. 23rd Ave. for less than a month.

Not Just a Bunch of Mitt Romneys

Again, those who have followed the church won?t be surprised by this. Last spring, church authorities publicly supported a comprehensive immigration reform bill in Utah that was opposed by anti-immigration activists. In June, the church issued a statement declaring that the ?Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is concerned that any state legislation that only contains enforcement provisions is likely to fall short of the high moral standard of treating each other as children of God.? But for those who have equated the positions of Mitt Romney or the Republican Party with those of all Mormons, this attitude toward immigration may seem unexpected. (Romney himself is, unsurprisingly, hugely popular among Mormons, according to the survey: 86 percent of the respondents who were also registered voters viewed him favorably. Only 50 percent of those respondents like Jon Huntsman, the other Mormon presidential candidate?and just 22 percent like Harry Reid, the Democratic senator from Nevada, also a Mormon.)
