If the various elements are hardly integrated smoothly, each moment appears to satisfy on its own terms.Tamar Davis gives the most nuanced performance — in the only remotely nuanced role — as the title character, Judith, whose marriage to the hard-working accountant Roger (Anthony Grant, known as Tony) has hit a bumpy and boring patch.

(One of the lesser: I liked you in Star Wars,’ Chewbacca.)At work Judith tries to referee similar oh-no-you-didn’t backtalk between her clients, although her snappish assistant, Becky (a lively Stephanie Ferrett), the play’s only white character, seems to do most of the counseling, which is to say trash talking.

(And the rafters at the Beacon Theater are pretty distant.) There is little pretense at integrating the songs into the texture of the play smoothly.

And in the latest bad news, Toyota reported Wednesday that global vehicles sales plunged 21.8% in November — its biggest drop in eight years.Watanabe’s possible successor, Toyoda, is an executive vice president and grandson of Kiichiro Toyoda, who founded the automaker.It’s no secret that Toyoda, 52, is a best-bet candidate for future president — a position in Japanese companies that wields great decision-making power and is the equivalent of chief executive in the United States.The friendly and unpretentious Toyoda, who has appeared before reporters in a racing outfit — unusual among staid suit-clad Japanese executives — has come to symbolize the rejuvenation of Toyota’s management.Toyoda’s r??sum?? reads like that of a president.His jobs span Toyota’s global empire, including its China operations, Japan sales and the Internet business.Earlier, he served as vice president at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a Fremont, Calif.-based joint venture between Toyota and General Motors Corp., giving him key experience in the United States.The founder’s family name is spelled with a “d,” but the company name was changed to read Toyota as that was considered luckier according to Japanese superstition, Toyota says.

The latest measure follows Beijing’s announcement earlier this month of a 30-point directive in which it vowed to “support the development of yuan business in Hong Kong” and expand the use of the currency to settle trade with neighbouring countries.

“And the likelihood of the United States issuing more money in the near future adds to the depreciation risk in US-dollar-denominated assets and trade settlements.”

The document called for the renovation of urban food markets, the provision of more variety of goods on sale, the setting up of more second-hand markets, incentives for distribution companies to merge and consolidate, and support of small and medium-sized enterprises.

“There is no question that we are fortunate to have one of the true rising stars of the coaching profession leading our program, and with Butch’s leadership the future of Chippewa football is certainly bright,” Heeke said last January when signing Jones to a five-year contract.

Jones will earn in the neighborhood of $300,000-$350,000 this season, now the average contract for a MAC head coach following the recent hirings of Ron English at Eastern Michigan and Tim Beckman at Toledo.

Jones preaches the motto, “Hold the Rope,” to overcome adversity, and the Chippewas have taken it to heart.
