There are terrific circus acts packed into "Ovo," the new Cirque du Soleil confection that opened Friday outside AT&T Park for its U.S. premiere. Death-defying Butterflies, foot-juggling Ants, contortionist Spiders, high-bounding Crickets and other bountifully talented human insects keep saving a beautifully designed show from its mind-boggling misconception and ear-punishing music. Keep your eyes on the Butterflies, Vladimir Hrynchenko's sinuous hand-balancing, Ryo Yabe's wondrous Diabolo routine, Li Wei's deft slackwire dancing or Svetlana Belova and Nantel's anatomy-defying contortions, though, and all is well. No, the egg story never pays off. But the flying Scarabs - a trapeze act without trapezes - is a feat of aerial acrobatics you won't soon forget. |

 The film does everything correct for the genre. I can find no entertainment flaw with it -- From the casting to the pacing to the humor to the out of this world look and effects. It is exactly what a summer blockbuster and a Sci-Fi adventure should be. It has the charm to enchant casual visitors and old devotees alike.

 The growing ineffectiveness of a popular and widely requested antibiotic has Chattanooga doctors emphasizing the importance of responsible antibiotic use. Chattanooga physicians say between one-half and two-thirds of the most-common bacteria — streptococcus pneumoniae — is showing resistance to azithromycin, the generic name for the antibiotic Zithromax. The antibiotic often is dispensed in a packet called the “Z-pak.”
