The University and College Union annual congress last week voted by a two-thirds majority to organise a campus tour for Palestinian academic trade unionists to explain why they had called for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel, and to encourage UCU members to consider the moral implications of links with Israeli universities. Not surprisingly, this overwhelming vote met with a roar of hostility from what we have learned to call the Israel lobby.
Our government, long accustomed to sitting on its hands when any serious attempt to censure Israel is made, predictably joined the chorus. More surprisingly, the Independent's editorialist and its columnist Joan Smith followed along. The boycott, we are told, damages academic freedom, picks on Israel, and encourages anti-Semitism on British campuses.
Entirely suppressed in this harrumphing has been any thought about why Palestinian university teachers and their union, as well as all the NGOs in the Occupied Territories, have called for a boycott. Academic freedom, it appears, applies to Israelis but not Palestinians, whose universities have been arbitrarily closed, Bir Zeit for a full four years. Students and teachers have been killed or imprisoned. Attendance at university is made hazardous or impossible by the everyday imposition of checkpoints. Research is blocked by Israeli refusal to allow books or equipment to be imported.
Even within Israel itself, some universities sit on illegally expropriated land, Arab student unions are not recognised and there are increasing covert restrictions on Arab-Israelis (20 per cent of the population) entering university at all. No Israeli academic trade union or professional association has expressed solidarity with their Palestinian colleagues a few kilometres away across the wall, though the boycott call may finally encourage them to do so.
When challenged, Israelis cite examples of collaboration with Palestinians: bridges, not borders. Fine, but because Palestinian academics from Gaza or the West bank are not permitted to enter pre-1967 Israel, how real can such collaborations be? If academic freedom means anything, it must be indivisible. And what are Palestinians to make of the uncensured insistence by senior Israeli academics that their family size constitutes a demographic threat to the Jewish state?
But why should academics, culture workers, architects and doctors in the UK, who have all in recent months called for forms of boycott of Israel, take such action? Why pick on Israel, we are asked. After all, as Joan Smith points out, there are lots of ugly regimes around. How about boycotting the UK until troops are removed from Iraq? But boycott is merely a specific tactic, a non-violent weapon available to individual members of civil society. It is only one form of protest: many boycott supporters are at least as actively involved in the various campaigns against the UK's illegal war in Iraq as in any boycott of Israel.
No one asks those campaigning against China's occupation of Tibet why not Israel or Darfur? If opponents of our boycott call want to make a case for boycotting Cuba (one boycott that Israel, following its American paymaster at the UN, habitually supports) they are free to do so. The issue is not "Why Israel?" but "Why not Israel?" Yet the secular western press, so willing to express discomfort with states that describe themselves as "Islamic Republics" is seemingly untroubled by the ethnic assumptions underlying the claims of a Jewish republic.
Further, it is precisely because Israel prides itself on its academic prowess (just as South Africa did of its sporting prowess) that the idea of an academic boycott is so painful. Israel has uniquely strong academic links with Europe, and despite its Middle-East location and constant breaches of European legislation on human rights, receives considerable financial research support from the EU. That's why the Israeli cabinet felt it necessary to set up an anti-boycott committee under that well-known campaigner for a greater Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, and why teams of Israeli academics toured the UK before the UCU vote to try to block the boycott call.
Lurking behind the thinking of even well-meaning opponents of the boycott is that it is in some way anti-Semitic. This ignores the fact that the boycott is of Israeli institutions, not individuals (so it would affect the tiny number of Palestinian academics in Israeli institutions, but not a Jewish Israeli working in the UK or US). Second, it ignores the fact that the British Jewish community is itself intensely divided over Israel, between those who will defend Israel at all costs, and the increasingly vocal critics who insist "not in our name". Even a cursory look at the signatories of the various boycott calls will show the large number of prominent Jewish figures among them. It really isn't good enough to attack the messenger as anti-Semitic or a self-hating Jew rather than deal with the message itself, that Israel's conduct is unacceptable.
What could be a more democratic way of bringing debate on to university campuses than the instruction to the UCU to organise a campus tour for Palestinian academic trade unionists to engage in discussion before UCU members decide whether to support their call for a boycott? Those who cherish the idea of the university as the house of reason will surely welcome the opportunity for calm discussion of a controversial issue.

From Spokane Public Schools:
A new C.O.P.S. Shop opening at NEWTECH Skill Center will provide criminal justice students a practical way to practice what they learn in class.
Many districts across Washington have tossed out tater tots and hot dogs for healthier meal options, but a lot of them don't have the right equipment in place to make meals from scratch. That could change soon, thanks to a proposed grant in the state legislature.
Inside Spokane's Community School, Chef Rene whips up healthy, fresh meals on a daily basis, but she has some help: upgraded kitchen equipment.
More schools across the state could have state-of-the-art equipment if the Washington legislature allocates funding for the "Apple a Day" program.
"This new 'Apple a Day' grant could help schools purchase equipment that would introduce more whole foods, more fresh foods in a way that's affordable and very nutritious for kids," said Spokane Public School's Doug Wordell.
While The Community School is well equipped in the kitchen, other schools in the district are not.
"We don't have the blenders or the 'Robot Coupes,' and we don't have the ovens. We have an old, stacked convection oven, and they work, but these ovens are over 35 years old," said Wordell.
In her March progress report, Spokane Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Shelley Redinger discusses the district's Strategic Plan for 2014-2020. She outlines what issues are being addressed and how they developed the plan.
Community members are invited to share their feedback on Spokane Public Schools by using a new tool called ThoughtStream. The conversation will be open until March 10th.
Families with students who will be 5 on or before Aug. 31 take note: It's time to register for kindergarten! Spokane Public Schools is eager to welcome new students to the SPS family. To help kindergarteners get excited about school, SPS provides each with a special, brightly colored tote filled with educational activities that families can work on together.
One local college team is set to participate in one of the biggest competitions of the year. And no, it's not a basketball or hockey team. It's the Gonzaga University ROTC Bulldog Battalion.
When classes are over, GU's ROTC Bulldog Battalion is just getting started.
"We make them faster stronger smarter. We prepare them for challenges that lie ahead both in uniform and out of uniform," said GU Senior Military Science Instructor Alan Westfield.
It'll be the team's second training session of the day and their last before this weekends 'Ranger Challenge' at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
"I think it's the best team I've been on since I've been here," said team captain Micah Rarick.
The Ranger Challenge is a regional competition, pitting the Bulldog Battalion against 30 other teams including teams from EWU and WSU. Their training will be put to the test.
"It's designed to be physically, mentally and emotionally challenging," said Westfield.
The Spokane Community College Vets Club is hosting the SCC Veterans Cultural Connection Saturday afternoon. The event is designed to bring together different services, groups, businesses and schools that support the needs of the area's active military members, veterans and their families.
The event will have informational tables from different groups and their representatives as well as documentary on gardening and it's impact on PTSD. There will also be guest speakers from Spokane military and veteran organizations.
The Office of the Secretary of State is calling on Washington artists in the 4th & 5th grades to submit designs for the 2014 Voter's Pamphlet. The winning design will be featured on more than 3.2 million copies of the pamphlet and will be sent to every house in the state during the General Election this fall.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Donald Lutz came through with a two-run single to back six solid innings from Johnny Cueto, as Cincinnati downed Milwaukee, 5-1, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Jay Bruce homered and Brandon Phillips drove in a run for the Reds, who have won five of their last seven overall.
Activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the contest, Cueto (4-0) scattered five hits and one run while striking out three. He also aided his cause with a second-inning squeeze bunt that plated a run.
"We had just one concern, his shoulder," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "Other than that, we don't worry about him."
A first-inning homer from Carlos Gomez was all the offense for the Brewers, who couldn't maintain momentum from Saturday's 6-0 whitewash.
Wily Peralta (4-8) was charged in the loss with seven hits and five runs -- four earned -- over 5 1/3 frames.
Zack Cozart doubled in the home third, moved up on a Joey Votto grounder, and scored on a check-swing groundout from Phillips. Bruce followed with a long homer to right and it was 3-1 for the Reds.
Jack Hannahan walked with one out in the sixth, Ryan Hanigan followed with a double and Peralta was pulled for Michael Gonzalez. Lutz subbed for Cueto and delivered a two-run single for a four-run contest.
Alfredo Simon stranded two runners in scoring position in the seventh by fanning Norichika Aoki swinging, then retired the side in order in the eighth and ninth innings to snag his first save of the year.
"Defensively, we didn't play well," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Offensively, we didn't have a lot of opportunities but cashed in on the one we did get."
Things looked better for Milwaukee in the early going, as Gomez jumped on a breaking ball and lined it into the left-field seats with two out in the top of the first.
The hosts tied the game with a suicide squeeze in the bottom of the second. Runners were on the corners with one out, and Xavier Paul was halfway down the third-base line by the time Cueto's excuse-me bunt reached the infield grass, scoring him easily.
"I thought that slider was going to hit me, so I closed my eyes," Cueto said.

Recurring nerve damage in his back will keep Steve Nash from playing in his 19th NBA season.

Michael Brown Shooting
On August 9, 2014, an unarmed 18-year-old black man was shot and killed by the police in Ferguson, Missouri. His name was Michael Brown.
There are two main accounts of this story: the side given by the police, and the side given by Browns friend. Leading up to the shooting, Officer Darren Wilson, the white cop responsible for Browns death, was responding to a call in the area when he came upon Michael Brown and a friend, Dorian Johnson in the street. According to police, one of the men allegedly pushed Wilson into his car and attacked him, and the attack became a struggle for the officers weapon. Several shots were fired before the struggle then spilled out onto the street, where an unarmed Brown, with his arms in the air, was shot multiple times.
According to Browns friend, Dorian Johnson, events happened somewhat differently. Allegedly he and Brown were walking in the street when Officer Wilson ordered them onto the sidewalk before grabbing Brown and trying to force him into the car, where several shots were fired. Brown tried to run away, even turning around, putting his hands in the air, and getting down, but Wilson fired his gun at him multiple times.
While there are different accounts of what happened, the fact still remains that a young, unarmed black man was shot and killed by a white cop. His body lay in the street untouched for hours, and residents of Ferguson gathered around for a vigil and to mourn the tragic loss of such a young life.
The following days, the protests began. Several hundred gathered outside the Ferguson Police headquarters, and things unfortunately quickly turned ugly. About three dozen people were arrested as crowds began to burn stores, vandalize property, and mock the police. The police responded strongly to these protests--even the peaceful ones. They used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds and even news reporters.
Browns death is an example of the racial bias in the criminal justice system, and this is a human rights issue. Racial minorities face prejudice that white people simply do not encounter. This inequality can be seen in every step of the process: from the likelihood that someone will be arrested to the type of punishment they will receive. Even the police reaction to the protests show exposed the racial tensions lurking in the criminal justice system. Their rough handling of civilians, especially peaceful civilians, showed a deep mistrust in the black community.
This kind of systemic injustice shows why stories like Michael Browns are so important. They expose the inherent racism in the criminal justice system and prove that things need to change on a systemic level. Michael Browns story, and stories like his, need to be shared. His loss needs to be remembered. Perhaps it can be a catalyst for change.

... BTW, I'm still confused about my format question above - two RAM discs sold, differring only by formatting (DVD recorder vs DVD PC drive?). So they charge more for the specific formatting? Is it easy to just format it myself? That is, easier that paying the extra 10 bucks?
|DVD-R and DVD-RAM discs that are formatted for DVD Recorders can also be used in DVD-RAM drives, but require one extra step to format the discs for use in a DVD-RAM drive.

The Comic Book
Ted Kord, the second pre-New 52 Blue Beetle, is alive.Ted Kord, a dead superhero pre-New 52, has yet to be seen or mentioned in the New 52. However, in the beginning of Forever Evil #1, Lex Luthor is talking to a man named Thomas Kord, who was Ted Kord's father pre-New 52. Luthor mentions Thomas having a son and is the owner of Kord Industries. Could this mean Ted Kord is alive, but not a superhero?
One of the fictional cities of the DC Universe will be wiped off the mapThe Flash 23.1 has already established that Grodd has taken Central City in the Flash's absence, and Forever Evil 1 ends with Ultraman pushing the moon out of orbit, which logically would screw up the sea levels. With the exceptions of Gotham City & Metropolis, every city is on the chopping block - and with the past examples of Coast City, Bludhaven & Star City, a very real possibility.
The Crime Syndicate will not be the Final Boss of Forever Evil � the Legion of Doom will.Forever Evil is said to be a love letter to the classic DC villains, so it will probably go as follow: Lex Luthor founds the Legion of Doom (with Catwoman, Captain Cold, Sinestro, Black Manta, Black Adam and his creation Bizarro joining him); against all odds, they'll wind up successfully defeating the Crime Syndicate and banishing them back to Earth 3 (symbolically defeating their archnemeses at last, just not the ones from this world)... and then they'll take over from them; the Justice League will somehow come back, but the war isn't over yet � they still have to take the world back, from the Legion of Doom. Therefore, the Final Battle for Forever Evil will be the Justice League facing against some of their most classic, iconic rogues. Obviously, the Justice League will win, but the Legion of Doom will probably escape. The good guys will notice that, even though the Legion of Doom technically saved the day first, they didn't change at all � because they don't want to, because this is who they are and will always be. Forever evil.
Power Ring won't make it to the end of the series.Because Volthoom, having escaped death at the hands of Nekron during Wrath of the First Lantern by hiding his consciousness inside his ring, will have completely consumed the ring bearer. The ring's parasitic hold on Power Ring, as noted by the large, corroded, veins going up his arm have been said to get worse with every large scale use of his powers. Since Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom, along with the other teams of resistance, will be stirring up trouble he will no doubt be forced to take action within these various fights. Until, finally, his mind is wrested from him and he is utterly under Volthoom's control.
Nightwing's status quo post-Forever EvilWith the Crime Syndicate outing him as Dick Grayson to the public, Nightwing will wind up distancing himself from the rest of the Bat Family to avoid people connecting the dots and figuring out who Batman, Red Hood, Batgirl and Red Robin are, eventually forced into adopting a new civilian identity, abandoning his Nightwing identity and becoming Red X instead.
The Legion of Doom's Batman is...
We will see the Good Counterpart of the Legion of Doom.They'll be called "The Legion." Instead of directly allying with their alternates, they'll be Genre Savvy enough to know that any battle involving Evil Versus Evil won't go well-Lex Luthor will probably use this opportunity to overturn the Justice League. The Legion will play the Batman Gambit, supposedly helping the Legion of Doom only to set up their defeat at the hands of the Justice Leauge. The main members of the Legion will be composed of alternate versions of the arch-enemies we Love to Hate:
Deathstorm is more than just a referenceThe Crime Syndicate's Deathstorm is clearly a reference to the Black Lantern Firestorm who took the same name (in both name and face). But what if it's not just a reference, and the original Deathstorm has somehow returned and joined the Crime Syndicate? This might be related to the latest resurrection of Black Hand (and possibly also Hal Jordan's actions in Wrath of the First Lantern).
The Crime Syndicate's differences will lead to their downfall.While they're powerful, it's pretty clear that the Crime Syndicate is not one big happy family. Johnny Quick and Atomica are unpredictable, Owlman has a soft spot for Nightwing, Superwoman is cheating on Ultraman with Owlman behind his back, Power Ring is a coward, and Ultraman sees his teammates as tools in his quest for power. With such tension, the whole team is a powder keg ready for detonation if someone lights the fuse of discord.
Arkham War is gonna come down to Pyg vs. RagdollAnd there won't be enough Brain Bleach in the world...
The Syndicate, and especially Owlman, is defeated by a returning JokerMaybe they get closer to killing Batman and it's a only Joker gets him situation, or maybe they're about to conquer the universe and the clown just drops in. Either way I'm guessing that the Joker returns, his face inexplicably restored, and deliberately destroys the Syndicate, with Owlman dying of Joker venom.
The Creature that destroyed the world of Crime Synicate will be revealed to be...Darkseid. Either the true one (in which case his reach extends across alternative universes) or a reverse aligned "good" Darkseid that destroys evil planets like Ultraman's Krypton and Earth-3.
Jessica Cruz is going to receive the Earth-3 Power Ring.They labeled that she would appear in Forever Evil and now that Power Ring is dead it seems likely that she is going to be the new candidate.
The father of Superwoman's baby isn't Ultraman or Owlman...It's Alexander Luthor/Mazahs, and the baby will be Alexander Luthor Jr. (of Infinite Crisis fame).

The puzzle assembled: Ediacaran guide fossil Cloudina reveals an old proto-Gondwana seaway
L.V. Warren et al., Departamento de Geologia Aplicada, Instituto de Geocincias e Cincias Exatas, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Avenida 24A, 1515, Rio Claro 13506-900, Brazil. Published online 17 Mar. 2014, http://dx.doi.org/10.1130/G35304.1.
During the Ediacaran period, the Clymene ocean separated the Laurentia to the northeast, Amazonia and Ro Apa cratons to the southeast, and several landmasses to the west, forming the Proto-Gondwana supercontinent. However, no clear evidence about the existence of Ediacaran epeiric seas over those landmasses has been found so far. In this paper, L.V. Warren and colleagues report and discuss the discovery of the Ediacaran guide fossil Cloudina sp. associated with other metazoan body and trace fossils in the Bambu Group (central-eastern Brazil). This new finding helps to solve an old geologic puzzle of the Gondwana supercontinent -- the depositional age of the Bambu Group. The paleogeographic position of Cloudina-bearing successions in Brazil, Antarctica, Namibia, and Argentina suggest a new scenario of ocean connectivity among coeval intracratonic basins of South America, Africa, and Antarctica at the end of Neoproterozoic.

SUBMITTED: Friday, February 07, 2014POSTED: Friday, February 07, 2014
This negative report about us was written by the Owner of Ydraw because he is mad that we asked him time and time again to take down a video of ours that they uploaded at first on their Youtube channel. Here is the link of the same video on my channel all 100% owned by me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrE7dIYNm88. 2 years ago they asked if they could use it to promote our animation services through them (which they would outsource to us). I gave them permission to use it at first but then when it did not yield any results after about 6 months or so, I told them to take it down. Jace, the owner of Ydraw literally refused to take it down even after multiple notices from me. Eventually, i just reported them to youtube and youtube removed their upload of our video. And that just made Ydraw's owner more mad. I thought that it would end there but then they uploaded it again on their website this past month when they revamped their new website to compete with ours. And so I emailed him again about it. So not really knowing how to handle it, I just asked for advice on a recent face book post from those connected to me and somehow they saw it and got mad again.
He is also mad because we now offer our clients white board animation services as well. And for this he thinks we are a dessaster to work with I suppose. I guess he can't take the competition. If we all followed his wisdom this would not be America, where we can enjoy several resaurante choices, several movies from many different production companies etc. There are hundreds of white board video companies out there and he thinks that Ydraw is the only one with the right to make them. We do them in our own way along with all the other services that we provide such as story boarding, animation, character design work and so forth. We use a different system, different artists and offer it at a lesser price than what they do and. And I guess that is what makes him so mad.
I told him that he can use our video on his website as long as it's with the link to our own youtube video where we had uploaded it stating on there that "one of our artists worked on this video for Golden Street and we can offer the same thing as well." We did that same thing with a couple of their videos that we had provided artwork for sharing the link on Facebook and our website stating something like..."Here is a video that our quick draw artists designed for another whiteboard company...and so on" And then shared the video link from their own website or youtube channel. http://www.quickdrawservices.com/#!videos/cngp
Anyway that is my side of the story. He thinks we ripped him off for offering white board animation services as well. You be the judge. We are proud of the work we do and it is our own, it is not stolen from any other company.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

New Evidence Links Earthquakes to Fracking

On Thursday night the Metropolitan Opera was packed from the orchestra to the family circle. A new season opening production of Mozart's timeless comic gem Le Nozze di Figaro brought to life by first-tier vocalists under the baton of legendary James Levine must have been on the whole New York's must-see-no-matter-what list.
Based on Pierre Beaumarchais' comedy The Mad Day or The Marriage of Figaro (a sequel to the famous Barber of Seville) Mozart's opera revolves around one insane day, the day that takes both the masters and their servants of the Almaviva household through the trials of love and seduction, suspicion and jealousy, intrigue and deceit, disguise and revelation. At the end of the day lessons are learned, conflicts are resolved and couples are reunited.
In his treatment of Le Nozze di Figaro, the British stage director Richard Eyre gave Mozart's comedy an unusual spin. Quite literally, in fact, since the production's main (and only) set– an 18th century manor house with elaborate Moorish wall designs – was mounted on a rotating turntable, providing for both smooth transitions between the scenes and an opportunity to watch several actions taking place in different rooms at the same time. While the set emphasized the headspinning whirlwind of the events onstage, Rob Howell's elegant suits and figure-fitting dresses of the 1930s (the "sexually charged" years that Eyre had chosen to set his production in) added a bold twist to the opera. Yet, a big part of the production's success had to be attributed to the dynamic team of well-matched artists who joined forces to breathe new life into Mozart's comic masterpiece.
Baritone John Del Carlo and soprano Susanne Mentzner, the most comic duo of the production, portrayed Doctor Bartolo and Marcellina with musicality and humor, spicing their performance up with elements of farce.
Making her house debut as Countess Almaviva this season, soprano Amanda Majeski offered some floating moments in her rendition of Porgi amor, along with secure acting, as her heroine found strength and courage to stand up to her philandering husband and teach him a lesson.
Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard was hilarious as hormone-driven page Cherubino, yet managed to add a certain depth to her character in her sensual mellow-toned account of Voi che sapete.
Baritone Peter Mattei's lustrous tone paid dividends all evening. Known for his deep nuanced vocalism and sophisticated acting, Mattei delivered his showcase aria Hai già vinta la causa! with so much noble grandeur and genuine indignation that for a moment it was hard to stay focused on the fact that his character was the opera's baddie, hence did not deserve compassion.
The biggest triumph of the evening, however, belonged to the two leads, bass Ildar Abdrazakov and soprano Marlis Petersen. From the very first notes of the famous duet Cinque… Dieci…, in which the happy couple dreams of their future together while Figaro measures the space for their bridal bed (in Eyre's production Figaro measured parts of the bed prior to building it), sparks flew between the two. Their spontaneous youthful humor, fiery energy and sexy flirtation kept the audience on the edge of their seats all evening long.

A true engine of the opera, Petersen's smart, spirited and confident Susanna set everyone and everything around her in motion. Matching her exciting, accurate vocalism with a knack of flamboyant theatrics, the artist brought downright sexuality to her role, as Susanna provoked the lustful Count and led him on only to expose him to ridicule in the opera's finale.

Yet, later in the opera Petersen revealed a far more poetic side of her heroine in her rendition of Deh vieni, non tardar. While her tone boasted a sheer luminous quality in the beginning of the aria, as the music progressed, the artist indulged us in warm undertones of burnished gold, giving the piece the seductive quality of a serenade. This was one of the most breathtaking moments of the production.
Bass Ildar Abdrazakov portrayed Figaro with vocal brilliance and an abundance of comic action. In spite of his illness, of which it was announced prior to the beginning of the show, the artist soldiered right on, nailing one number after another with virtuosic ease and agility, boasting refined phrasing and endless tonal variety in his rendition of Non più andrai.
Yet, there was a lot more to this Figaro than great vocalism and acting. Using every opportunity provided by the score and the libretto, Abdrazakov created a complex character, allowing us to become witnesses to his psychological transformation.
Yet, there was a lot more to this Figaro than great vocalism and acting. Using every opportunity provided by the score and the libretto, Abdrazakov created a complex character, allowing us to become witnesses to his psychological transformation.
Ingenuous and naïve (especially in the beginning of the opera), his Figaro was an endless fount of humor, as he happily jumped into the arms of his newly found father (Doctor Bartolo) or tiptoed across the stage with fluttering arms, miming the movements of Saint-Saëns' Dying Swan. However, as suspicion and jealousy crept deeper into Figaro's heart, Abdrazakov's character changed. Filling his Aprite un po' quegli occhi with irony and bitterness (he performed the aria with a flashlight in his hand, as if probing the darkness to discover all the unfaithful women out there), the artist added deep dark undertones to his dramatic singing.
|Ildar Abdrazakov (Figaro)

Even in the opera's finale, as the truth finally came out and all the worries went away, Abdrazakov's Figaro never went back to the trusting young man we had met at the beginning of the opera. Having pushed the memories of his recent doubts and sufferings to the back of his mind, this Figaro arrived at the opera's finale a wise and mature man.
As the artists' voices blended in a sublime unison in the rendition of the opera's final (and most breathtaking) ensemble Ah, tutti contenti, performed with a barely audible touch of sadness, it became clear that Figaro's transformation was not the only change that had taken place onstage that evening. The events of the mad day made an impact on each Mozart's character turning each into a new person.
As I joined the diverse colorfully-dressed crowd on my way out of the theater, I suddenly realized the true meaning of the spin in Eyre's production. It was bigger than the revolving set and the unusual time setting, bigger than the characters' sparkling humor and sexy actions. The spin of Eyre's production (or was it the spin that Eyre had read between the lines of Mozart's timeless score?) was about us, people with strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, and the major transformation that each person eventually goes through in order to discover his or her new self.
Le Nozze di Figaro runs through December 20th at the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center.
