Some roads, parks, libraries closed today
County landfills accepting storm-related debris free
The effects of Hurricane Irene have closed several Henrico County roads, parks and libraries today.
White Oak Road is closed between Route 60 and Elko Road; Sandy Lane is closed between Creighton Road and Watts Lane; and Creighton Road is closed at the Henrico-Hanover county line.
The county's Division of Recreation and Parks has closed Confederate Hills, Dorey Park, Hunton Park, Hidden Creek, Park, Meadowview Park, the Glen Lea Recreation Center and the Roslyn Hills playground as the result of power outages or storm damage. RF&P Park and Springfield Park are open today but have no power.
The Armour House, Deep Run Park, Belmont Recreation Center, the Henrico Theatre, Walkerton Tavern, and Twin Hickory Park (business only) all are open today.
The county also has canceled the 6 p.m. Zumba class scheduled for tonight at Dorey Recreation Center and the 7 p.m. Henrico Concert Band performance scheduled for Dorey Park.
Dumbarton, Fairfield, Municipal, Sandston and Twin Hickory libraries are open; Glen Allen, North Park, Tuckahoe and Varina are closed.
Residents cleaning up from the storm can take their unbagged storm-related yard debris and vegetative waste free of charge to Henrico's East and West landfills. Bagged yard waste and bulky waste, including scrap wood, drywall, carpets and soiled food, will be charged at the rate of $3 per load.
Contractors can haul yard debris and vegetative waste for $50 per ton.
Residents with storm-related questions should continue to call the Henrico Hurricane Hotline at 501-7413.
Residents can continue to obtain free water at Fire Station No. 2, 2400 Darbytown Road, and at Fire Station No. 15, 3820 Mountain Road. Residents should bring their own containers; bottled water will not be provided.

Every week, another child is diagnosed with cancer in Central Virginia. Last summer, six-year-old Caroline Morris was one of them.
Diagnosed in June 2015 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, Morris has been receiving treatment at Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) ever since.
"It's not my hair that makes my beauty," said Morris, who lost her hair as a chemotherapy side effect, "it's my heart." > Read more.

Website Price Errors
Stumbled across this while searching for some semi-hollows
Tokai ES 155 for $2.37....
So I'm wondering out of pure curiosity, if someone were to buy this guitar and it was advertised at this ridiculously low price (surely an unseen typo) would the company be required to give you the guitar? Or would they just refund your money?
I'm just curious if anybody has been in such a situation
Well the checkout shows it at the advertised price.
Time for everyone to buy a Tokai I guess.
Not too familiar with Aussie law, but in many US states, a mistake like that (assuming it was one, and not some kind of special promotion or limited offer) has to be honored only if 1) it ges processed and 2) you can prove you were not aware it was a mistake.
If its a special promo, they probably have to honor it, even if you wouldn't normally qualify (like if it was for a limited time, but they forgot to change the price back).
in the US near every online company puts somewhere in the print that they are not responsible for typographical errors. which then they would just change it.
the only time it ever worked for me was when MF had a 20% off sale, and they forgot to exclude e-gift certificates. so i bought $1000 in an E certificate for $800 and bought it all with an additional 20%. so i paid $640 for the $1000 i got it. they caught it like the second day, but i was in.
I'd try it. Worst case scenario, you are out $2.37.
I'm not really interested in buying it since I'm in Minnesota and I'm sure shipping and customs would be outrageous. I just happened to stumble on the site somehow and was curious as to how a company would handle a situation such as this.
But if anyone in Australia wants to take a go at it, feel free! (Then let us know what happens ha)
I'm in Melbourne, so I'll give this a go.
Free guitar or not ? Stay tuned.
I'm gonna take a stab and say no one's going to be getting a Tokai for $2.37.
I know there are laws supporting the purchaser in this sort of thing, but I don't know how international they are.
I know that several years ago when I bought my acoustic guitar I got a good deal because of an error on the description - Crafter had mistakenly described one of their acoustics as an electrocoustic. I can't remember the exact prices now, but I think I paid about £200 for the guitar I ordered, which I obviously sent back and had replaced by an electrocoustic that should have cost about £350.
the guys emailed me back, telling me no. so close

GREELEY — It's been a bone-dry search this year for the many farmers and ranchers who depend heavily on leasing water from their municipal neighbors.
Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland and Longmont — each typically leasing thousands of acre-feet of excess water per year to local producers — have all said it's unlikely they'll have any extra water available in 2013.
Dismal snowpack in the mountains and not having city water as a back-up option is putting farmers in a tough spot, local crop growers say.
With spring planting beginning in the upcoming weeks, many predict they'll cut back on production even more than they did in a drought-stricken 2012.

Why Watch? A year ago, we featured a fun stop-motion car chase called Nitro Warriors and now it has a sequel worthy of all the matchbox-sized explosions. It could be a tiny Fast and Furious in the making.
Pure entertainment with adrenaline poured over it, this one takes to the sky while delivering an entire cityscape and a few iconic cars at the street level.
Excellent animation, thrilling camera work and wacky tourists — asking for more is just selfish. Here's to 6 more installments!

What gives? Lewis going to finally surprise us with something?
LOL......you have only been mentioning iPlex for at least 6 months whenever you can.....and you wonder what gives??
lets not forget - there is interest in iPlex from big pharma - remember this? ask Gwen Ransom if Merck bioventures in Boulder still exist since she is the Manufacturing Technical Advisor - just look at her linkedin profile
. . . ."And as we announced the Merck (MRK) BioVenture in the last year or so, we continue to do acquisitions with Insmed and relationships with Insmed and Avecia for a biological standpoint to build our infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities. So I think this will be an important part of our strategy. It's not put on the back burner as some have suggested that would take place."
You are the only poster here who mentions Iplex. How can anyone be so totally clueless?

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our tellywood celebrities have become used to facing rumors. Our Wednesday coloumn is dedicated to all those celebrities who have faced some of craziest rumors. This week we have Vishal Karwal with us, who was recently seen playing the role of lord Shree Krishna, in Imagine's TV show Dwarkadheesh - Bhagwan Shree Krishna. Vishal has also played some pivotal roles in shows like Bhagyavidhaata and Rishton se badi pratha.
Like all other celebs, Vishal has also been surrounded by rumors many times. Here's Vishal Karwal sharing the craziest rumor he has heard about himself.
shares: "The craziest rumor I have ever heard about myself was during the days
when I was doing Rishton Se Badi Pratha on Colors. My co-actress Shalini
Chandran was replaced in the show and according to the rumor, I got her
replaced. This rumor even came in different newspapers. I was shocked to know
about this rumor. I would surely advice the people who are behind spreading
such rumors to get a life. Remembering the rumor, I still sit back and enjoy
laughing at the situation that had happened."

Giant Doorway Spider Web
- Price:
- $99,999.00
- Prod ID:
- 67433
- 0 Reviews
Protect your house from giant mutant spiders!
If you think putting a giant doorway spiderweb on your front porch is a little over the top, then you obviously haven't been watching the movies. In Tarantula, spiders were "a deadly cargo". In the Kingdom of Spiders, spiders were a "living, crawling, hell on earth." As anyone in the know will tell you: as long as humans continue to create toxic waste, there will always be a potential for mutant man-eating spiders. Yes it's a frightening prospect, but then reality so often is. We would suggest that you place this Giant Doorway Spider Web outside your house and lock your doors and windows. That way, the spiders can only feed on those pesky trick or treaters. Make your house the creepiest and spookiest one on the block this holiday season with this great prop.
- Includes: Giant doorway Spider Web.
- Does Not Include: Spiders.
The spider web is 6 ft wide and can be secured between most doorways and windows. It is the perfect size to attach to your porch and scare away those pesky trick or treaters. For further authenticity, why not wrap a life-size figure and place in the web as the spider's meal?

'Unsound Festival Presents Bass Mutations'
Pole is a Kraut-dub legend thanks to his own productions and his ~scape label, but the schizophrenic funk he's helped inspire might overshadow him tonight. "Bad Girls," on Fabric's new Elevator Music, shows just what Untold, arguably the most game-changing recent dubstep producer, is capable of in hooking the ghosts of r&b to a wobbly bass. The Netherlands' 2562 stretched dupstep into a nervous dream on 2009's Unbalance, while Romania's TRG conjoins polyrhythms and rave sounds into dance-compelling exuberance. FaltyDL is New York's own experimental bass ambassador to the ever-nuts Planet Mu label. With Pavel Ambiont, Dave Q, Konque, and Sepalcure.

Hospital Value-Based Purchasing
Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) is part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS') long-standing effort to link Medicare's payment system to a value-based system to improve healthcare quality, including the quality of care provided in the inpatient hospital setting.
The program attaches value-based purchasing to the payment system that accounts for the largest share of Medicare spending, affecting payment for inpatient stays in over 3,500 hospitals across the country.
Participating hospitals are paid for inpatient acute care services based on the quality of care, not just quantity of the services they provide. Congress authorized Inpatient Hospital VBP in Section 3001(a) of the Affordable Care Act. The program uses the hospital quality data reporting infrastructure developed for the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program, which was authorized by Section 501(b) of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.
HVBP News
CMS Announces Release of FY 2016 Hospital VBP Program Results to Hospitals
CMS has announced the release of the Percentage Payment Summary Reports to hospitals for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Hospital VBP Program. The FY 2016 Hospital VBP Percentage Payment Summary Report provides hospitals their Total Performance Score and value-based incentive payment percentage for each Medicare patient discharge in FY 2016.
The Hospital VBP Program is funded by a 1.75% reduction from participating hospitals' base operating diagnosis-related group (DRG) payments for FY 2016. Resulting funds are redistributed to hospitals based on their Total Performance Scores (TPS). The actual amount earned by each hospital depends on the range and distribution of all eligible/participating hospitals' TPS scores for a FY. It is possible for a hospital to earn back a value-based incentive payment percentage that is less than, equal to, or more than the applicable reduction for that program year.
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, CMS has added the following measures:
- IMM-2, Influenza Immunization (Clinical Process of Care domain)
- CAUTI, Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (Outcome domain)
- SSI, Surgical Site Infection Colon Surgery & Abdominal Hysterectomy (Outcome domain)
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, CMS has removed the following measures:
- AMI-8a, Primary PCI Received Within 90 Minutes of Hospital Arrival
- HF-1, Discharge Instructions
- PN-3b, Blood Cultures Performed in the Emergency Department Prior to Initial Antibiotic Received in Hospital
- SCIP-Inf-1, Prophylactic Antibiotic Received Within One Hour Prior to Surgical Incision
- SCIP-Inf-4, Cardiac Surgery Patients with Controlled 6AM Postoperative Serum Glucose
CMS anticipates releasing the FY 2016 Hospital VBP Program results to the public during the December 2015 refresh to the Hospital Compare site. CMS will also update the value-based incentive payment adjustment factors for FY 2016 in Table 16B of the FY 2016 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rule.
Payment Adjustments
CMS Publishes HVBP-based Incentive Payment Adjustment Factors for FY 2016
CMS has continued implementation of the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program in the FY 2016 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rule (see 80 FR 49544). In that final rule, CMS relied on the finalized methodology to calculate the value-based incentive payment adjustment factor and the portion of Medicare's IPPS payments that will be subject to the adjustment factor, which was adopted in the FY 2013 IPPS rule (see 77 FR 53573-76). In accordance with the Hospital VBP statute, CMS also updated the applicable percent for the FY 2016 Program, which is 1.75 percent. For more information on these payment-related policies, please refer to the FY 2016 IPPS Final Rule and FY 2013 IPPS Final Rule in the "Related Links" section below.
The value-based incentive payment adjustment factors for the FY 2016 payment adjustments under the Hospital VBP Program may be found in the "Related Links" section below. The link will redirect to the FY 2016 IPPS Final Rule Tables page. The FY 2016 payment adjustments for the Hospital VBP Program may be found in Table 16B. Tip: The list of payment adjustment factors is organized by CMS Certification Number (CCN). If you are unsure of your hospital's CCN, please visit the CCN listing at https://data.medicare.gov/Hospital-Compare/Hospital-General-Information/xubh-q36u.
Regulations and Notices
CMS Finalizes Program Provisions for FYs 2016 and 2018-21 of HVBP
On July 31, 2015, CMS announced the display of the FY 2016 IPPS Final Rule, which included a number of policies related to the Hospital VBP Program. Specifically, we finalized payment and operational details for FY 2016, the fourth year in which value-based incentives are available under the program. We also finalized new policies for FY 2018, including (1) new measures, (2) performance periods, (3) performance standards, and (4) domain weighting.
The final rule also included policies related to certain measures for FY 2019 through FY 2021, including select performance periods and performance standards for those program years. For more information on these payment-related policies, please refer to the FY 2016 IPPS Final Rule in the "Related Links" section below.

Thurrock tours for schools
Throughout the autumn term we have been delivering pilot tours of the Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production Workshop in Purfleet, to a hugely positive response from those local schools that attended. Our state of the art, purpose-built building is where craftspeople and technicians create the scenery for productions and is set in the glorious surroundings of the High House Production Park.
Tours will be open to a greater number of primary and secondary schools and further education colleges from mid-2012, and will provide an opportunity to find out more about the backstage crafts and the people who work behind the scenes at the Royal Opera House.
The experience includes a tour of the workshop building, a virtual resource packed with educational games and films and a practical workshop exploring backstage crafts, delivered by a Royal Opera House practitioner.
Creative INSETs
"In 15 years of teaching and quite a few music INSETs, in my experience this has been the best; thank you."
- Key Stage 2 teacher and participant
Autumn term has been a busy time in Thurrock with teachers from 11 schools in Essex holding In service training day (INSET) sessions at the production park. Schools were offered a choice of creative workshops based on themes that teachers wanted to explore, and Royal Opera House Education found practitioners to deliver them. Teachers chose from sessions focussing on set making, creative writing and singing.
Creative INSETs can be full day workshops or twilight sessions, and include a tour of the Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production Workshop as well as refreshments and/or lunch.
For more information about Creative INSETs email us and if you have participated in a workshop or tour we would love to hear about your experience with us.]]>
Alongside his role as Music Director of The Royal Ballet, Barry Wordsworth has been appointed Music Director Laureate of Birmingham Royal Ballet.
Barry has enjoyed a long association with both The Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet. He joined the conducting staff of Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet (now Birmingham Royal Ballet) in 1972. Between 1990-95 he held the position of Music Director of The Royal Ballet, a role he returned to in 2007.
During a distinguished career, Barry has performed with a number of the world's great orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra and The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.]]>
Getting settled with a sandwich I was instantly welcomed into the room where groups were already chatting over lunch in the Crush Room before the show. Here I met Maureen and Louise who were very excited about seeing La traviata and had not been to the Royal Opera House before. I asked if they had seen much theatre and they replied only at the O2, which they did enjoy; the only dampner being that their bags were searched and three cans of gin and tonic discovered! Instead of throwing them away (a great waste, they assured me) they left the queue and went 'round the back' to dispose of them.
When Maureen and Louise are not enjoying a tipple they are both full-time carers for their husbands. "This is a great treat and for us and gives us a well-earned break from our daily routine" Louise told me. Other guests included a gentleman, Giri Raisilghaney, who had not been here since 1966. Another gentleman had last visited the Opera House during World War II when he came here (for one of the now legendary) dances. Special memories of Joan Sutherland, currently the focus of the ROH Collections exhibition were also evident with one of the attendees reminiscing of seeing Joan Sutherland perform here in 1980, remarking that this was a '...very special day' for them.
I could have listened all afternoon to the fascinating stories but soon it was time for the audience to assemble for the show (which - I am pleased to say - seemed to have been enjoyed by all!). I'm looking forward to meeting more people from these communities as this event will be repeated in the next few months with a ballet performance and an appearance from the Artists of The Royal Ballet.
You may have come to the event or would you like to come in the future? Let us know your thoughts.]]>
With today being Thanksgiving in the United States - the day of turkey eating (aside from those pardoned), family and American Football - we thought we'd take our pick of operas and ballets from over the pond.
'Rubies' from Jewels - George Balanchine
That most American of dance pieces, 'Rubies' is one of three elements of Balanchine's Jewels cycle alongside 'Diamonds' and 'Emeralds'. Soaked in razzmatazz and featuring sparkly choreography, 'Rubies' is set to the music of Stravinsky, the Russian composer who became a U.S. citizen in 1945. As to what inspired the work, one story claims Balanchine had the idea when purchasing a ring for his muse, ballerina Suzanne Farrell. 'Rubies' is often performed on its own and is a staple of The Royal Ballet's repertory.
Satyagraha - Philip Glass
It may be based on Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence and sung in Sanskrit, but Satyagraha is arguably one of the finest American operatic achievements. A prime example of operatic minimalism, the opera makes up one part of Glass's 'Portrait' trilogy, alongside Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. The piece is divided into three acts, each related to a historical figure: Leo Tolstoy, Rabindranath Tagore and Martin Luther King Jr..
Dr Atomic - John Adams
With a libretto based largely upon declassified US military documents surrounding the Trinity test - the detonation of the world's first nuclear weapon in 1945 - Dr Atomic focuses on the stresses and strains upon the scientists who ushered in the nuclear age. First performed in 2005 at San Francisco Opera, the original production saw Royal Opera favourite Gerald Finley singing the role of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called 'father of the atomic bomb'.
Porgy and Bess - George Gershwin
The opera that spawned jazz standards 'Summertime' and 'I got plenty o' nuttin'', Porgy and Bess was a trailblazing work at the time of its premiere in 1935. The opera tells the tale of an African-American neighbourhood in Charleston, South Carolina during the 1920s – something of an operatic first in terms of focus. Originally run on Broadway, the production wasn't seen as a legitimate opera until the 1970s when it was re-evaluated. The opera has been hugely successful since its premiere, despite controversy surrounding portrayals of African-American characters.
Rainforest - Merce Cunningham
Rainforest was inspired by Cunningham's childhood memories of Northwest America and is set in an abstract space with the soundtrack of birds and forest chatter. The movement reflects animal behavior and Cunningham's interest in nature – the choreographer filled sketchbooks with his drawings of animals and birds. In collaboration with Cunningham, Andy Warhol created the décor Silver Cloud – several enormous silver pillows that gently swirl and bounce off the stage and dancers as they move through the space.
Nixon in China - John Adams
John Adams' first opera, Nixon in China brings to the stage U.S. President Richard Nixon's 1972 state visit. With an ever-changing score, musical styles including the big band sound that was the staple of the President's youth in the 1930s are blended together. The work allowed Adams to explore his personal experience of politics during the period, such as avoiding military service in Vietnam. Nixon in China took two years to complete, a period during which Adams claims to feel like he was 'pregnant with the royal heir, so great was the attention focussed on it by the media and the musical community'. Still, Adams's labour was worth it, the critical opinion since its 1987 premiere being that the piece is a significant work in American opera.

We are saddened to hear of the death of the legendary soprano Sena Jurinac. She first appeared at the Royal Opera House in the role of Dorabella (Così fan tutte), with the Vienna State Opera in 1947 and went on to appear as Cio Cio San (Madama Butterfly) to great acclaim with the Covent Garden Opera Company early in 1959.
You can see a list of Sena Jurinac's appearances at Covent Garden on the Royal Opera House Collections website, although as this is a work in progress her performances as Mimi (La bohème) and Leonore (Fidelio) are not included.
Did you see Jurinac perform at Covent Garden or elsewhere in the world? Are there particular recordings you would recommend to anyone unfamiliar with her work? Let us know.
Teaching singing can be an exciting and inspiring way to engage students into the world of music. It's for this reason the Royal Opera House is embarking on a new programme that aims to put singing at the heart of schools' work.
Voices of the Future is a two year programme of professional development opportunities for teachers who are interested in gaining skills and confidence as singing leaders, to teach and inspire their teaching colleagues and pupils. This programme is specifically aimed at teachers across the Thurrock and the Thames Gateway, working in partnership with Essex County Council.
In consultation with Essex County Council, we've decided to work with teachers in Basildon, Billericay and Wickford in phase one of the project (March 2012 – July 13). We expect some participants to be music specialists and others to have a general knowledge with a passion for music and singing. We're particularly interested in collaborating with teachers who work with the upper end of Primary (Years 5 and 6) and lower end of Secondary (Years 7 and 8).
At the heart of the programme, there are three INSET days per year, focusing on a broad range of topics, including:
And it's not only in depth INSET days that participants will have the opportunity to experience. We feel it is important for teachers to have an understanding of the drama and decision making that goes on backstage and will therefore participants will be invited on a tour of the Royal Opera House and the the Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production Workshop in Thurrock. The programme will also include the chance to develop skills alongside a range of specialist vocal leaders and work towards personal goals and ambitions.
Apart from the cost of releasing teachers for the INSET days, participating in the programme is otherwise free!
To find out more or register your interest in being involved, please contact Stacey Kurtz, Education Officer: firstname.lastname@example.com
Voices of the Future is part of the Royal Opera House's large-scale programme of professional development for teachers in 2011-14, generously supported by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.]]>
Before I started writing this blog, I saw a tiny item in the London Evening Standard about the historian David Starkey which said that he said British school children should learn something about their "own culture". When it was put to him that Britain was "rather diverse", he was quoted as saying: "No, it's not. Most of Britain is a mono-culture. You think London is Britain. It's not." He wants our "island story" to be taught.
If there is a story that doesn't talk about immigration - from incomers, invaders, etc - does Starkey even play a part in it? His own mother's name-"Lyon" is "possibly a place name: the city of Lyons, France."
Actually: English itself is a language of West Germanic origin – brought to Britain by invaders from what is now northwest Germany and the Netherlands.
Yes poses questions and issues like these, lays them bare, and hopefully, makes people look around them. And not only look, but listen: listen to the place names, the surnames. Their origins and how they came to be British will surprise you.
So for me, making Yes is not only talking about the two weeks that I went through before I did that Question Time that also had Nick Griffin on it two years ago, it's about laying a gauntlet down and saying "you haven't got the history right."
Yes is an opera , not a play, because as a synaesthete, I hear music all of the time anyway, so to render that two weeks into this form was natural and right.
I came to this work as a playwright: plot, characters, crisis resolution, the end. A composer - especially one as brilliantly musical as Errollyn Wallen - doesn't work that way. I had to write, and then erase, and then pare down, and then find the words that set her to compose and to trust that she would complete that arc of feeling and character. Which she did. John Lloyd Davies, in charge of developing new work for ROH2, was the only guy we wanted - the Starkeys of the world might not believe the fact that we didn't ask for a black woman director. We wanted the best. And we got it.
So I wrote, built people and a kind of story and Errollyn went away and composed and orchestrated. Sometimes I wouldn't hear from her for a while, which is uncomfortable for a playwright. In the theatre of plays the music is always last and always under the control of the play. In Yes, Errollyn's music, the singers and John create character as you would experience another human being through flashes of lightning: here the person is, you get a sharp take, and then they're gone. There is no plot just "experience". There is a nation saying: "No one's listening, no one hears us", and "I hate all politicians!"; and "I must…for our mother, for our father…" and "We've lost our voices and our choices…".
I'm onstage, writing my experience and feelings as they unfold in song and music, all kinds of wonderful music including reggae and gospel. For me, Yes breaks the whole opera thing open, breaks open this whole idea of stately stasis and awe, we've stripped it out. And yet…in an hour long work, a tiny thing, we open some doors, ask some questions, quietly move on and allow the audience to get on with it.
Yes keeps opening up for me, even though I wrote the words and the people and kind of know it. Actually, I don't. It challenges me. It gets me into those places that I can't find the words to describe. It says: "Here we are. Deal with it. Together."
Yes opens on Tuesday 22 November. Buy tickets]]>

Before the rehearsal started we were joined by Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House, Tony Hall. I spoke to him about his career to date, what it takes to successfully lead an arts organisation and the future for opera and ballet.
Read the first part of this interview.
How do you balance risk-taking with projects such as Anna Nicole and the more conservative aspects of running an institution such as this?
It's a really good question. First of all, the schedule has to reflect the many different audiences you're dealing with. We're running La traviata at the moment and were slightly worried about how many performances there were. Actually that's playing awfully well but you don't want to make all your money from one work. So getting the balance right is absolutely key.
With Anna Nicole and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, they both opened within 10 days of each other and there were huge risks involved, but we were talking about them for at least three years from moment of inception. People often think that you take a risk and follow your hunch but that's not how it happened at all.
For young people in the arts, already working in the sector and hoping to lead organisations in the future, how important do you think it is to have experience outside the arts in order to lead successfully?
I don't think you need to go outside. I think attitude and energy matters. you will all know that from working with people yourselves. I think you need to be able to look at yourself from the outside but that doesn't mean you have to leave the arts.
I also think the media is an important part of the arts now. We're all becoming broadcasters and the impact of media on what we can do and the audiences we can reach is crucial.
How is the opera house dealing with the cuts to funding?
When it was clear we were all being asked for a 15% cut, I felt strongly we should accept it and not argue. This is tough but I thought it was right that we share some of the burden of ensuring some of the smaller less well funded companies survive and grow.
What have you done then to absorb that?
Our turnover is £106 million a year. We can't look to make up the shortfall by raising prices. Although ballet is selling out, the top prices for opera are proving harder to sell than they were 2/3 years ago and we want people to be able to afford to come here.
We've looked at efficiencies. We've saved a couple million over the last couple of years, by looking at things like producing our programmes much more cheaply. There's all sorts of little things we can do in order to save money.
We've then looked at how we can make money out of this place. So we set up an organisation called ROH Enterprises - bringing together DVDs, cinemas, catering - and saying, "OK, we want to get a return from that".
Then there's fundraising. We are blessed with a lot of people who give us small amounts of money and some big donors as well. When I came we were bringing in £6.7 million a year and we're now bringing £22 million. Everybody in this place contributes to that, when you walk in this building, the glory of this place is that everybody here cares about what they do.
What do you think is going to be the biggest challenge the arts leaders of the future will face?
The biggest challenge must be to keep whatever you're doing exciting. And that sounds naff but it's not. If you can't create a buzz and energy around what you're doing then you're not doing your job properly.
The thing which has worried me most about the 15% cut is that you suddenly play safe, that you make compromises. Then people suspect that and audiences don't come. The most important thing is to keep the place exciting. This is what we are trying to do and it's what you are all going to have to do in your jobs. I think we had a glorious 15 years where funding was steady in the arts, and you see that now because we've got the best arts and culture in the world. We've now got to get used to a very different funding model, it's going to be much tougher but the importance of what we all do is bigger than ever.
If you work or have worked in the arts, what advice would you give?]]>
As part of Royal Opera House Insights, he regularly presents informal introductions for live audiences here at Covent Garden, offering a unique view from the podium into the operatic repertoire. Check the website to book forthcoming Insights events.
Earlier this season, we filmed one of these when he introduced the music from Il tabarro and Suor Angelica, the first two operas in Puccini's Il trittico.
If this gives you a thirst for more Puccini, The Royal Opera present La bohème later this season. According to Pappano, no other opera better expresses the "irrepressible energy of youth".]]>

The official fourth quarter earnings season starts today with Alcoa, Inc. (NYSE: AA) set to report its financial numbers after the market.
Let's see how the results large-cap banks could fare for the October-December period.
Net interest margins (NIMs) are likely to remain under pressure in the fourth quarter, reflecting the ongoing low rate environment and pressure on asset yields. This quarter saw some increase in medium-/long-term rates as average 10-year Treasury rates were up 7 basis points (bps) sequentially.
"Of the 17 banks we track, we expect NIM declines at all but four. However, we will likely need to see rates rise by ~50bps to see NIMs stabilize," Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor wrote in a note to clients.
[Related -Bank Stocks: The Misbegottenness of the Volcker Rule Truly Knows No Bounds]
While banks continue to reduce funding costs, these efforts are unlikely to be enough to offset lower asset yields. Loan yields are coming under more pressure as more banks focus on loan growth, but pricing remains mostly rational and industry yields remain above historical averages.
Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC), KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) would see an increase in the NIM while net interest margins of BB&T Corp. (NYSE: BBT), Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) and Comerica, Inc. (NYSE: CMA) could decline in the fourth quarter.
[Related -Gold hasn't lost its allure in my portfolio]
Fed data shows that average total loans are up just 1 percent quarter-over-quarter (q/q) un-annualized with period-end balances up 0.6 percent q/q. Loan growth reflects growth in commercial and industrial and all other loans and to a lesser extent residential mortgage, partially offset by declines in home equity and credit card.
Meanwhile, mortgage pipeline likely weakened a bit. However, the fourth quarter mortgage originations are likely to be about in line with the third quarter levels.
"Underlying mortgage revenues will likely be flattish vs. 3Q with continued strong mortgage margins and volume," O'Connor noted.
Banks with more meaningful mortgage exposure include Bank of America, BB&T Corp., Fifth Third, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE: RF), SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI), U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) and Wells Fargo.
Expectations for capital markets revenues seem to have come down into the quarter as weaker seasonality were compounded with concerns over the Fiscal Cliff, the slow US recovery, and slowing global growth.
"Capital markets revenues (ex CVA/DVA) likely down q/q, but stronger vs. a year ago. We estimate trading revenues (ex-CVA/DVA) could be down 10-15% q/q on average, but up from weak year ago levels," O'Connor said.
Fixed Income Currency and Commodities (FICC) trading could be meaningfully stronger versus last year, but down from the third quarter. Lower q/q FICC trading will likely be driven by lower trading activity and less spread tightening across most products.
The highest year-over-year increases in FICC trading revenues should come from Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C), Bank of America and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS).
"Vs. 3Q, however, FICC trading will likely be down 10-15% on average. Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) is likely to be negatively impacted by Hurricane Sandy in its commodities business," the analyst wrote.
In addition, equity trading may be likely weaker in the fourth quarter on lower volumes while investment banking fees could be better than expected. Continued improvement in credit trends could be witnessed in the fourth quarter results but at a slower pace.
"We expect non-performing assets (NPAs) to continue to decline, reflecting a continued slowdown in the pace of nonaccrual inflows. While loan loss reserve drawdowns are likely to continue at most banks, drawdowns should continue to slow," O'Connor said.
Meanwhile, Basel 3 capital ratio is expected to improve in the fourth quarter, given earnings and mitigation of risk weighted assets. The highest increases should come from M&T Bank Corp. (NYSE: MTB) and PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (NYSE: PNC).
"We expect higher Basel 3 Tier 1 common at 13 of the 17 banks. We see the largest increases in B3 Tier 1 common at MTB (to 6.4% vs. 5.9% at 9/30), PNC (to 7.5% vs. 7.2%), RF (to 9% vs. 8.6%), and STI (to 8.3% vs. 7.9%)," O'Connor added.

The latest movie theater news and updates

Community Action Award Awarded To "Save the Sameric"
The following was sent in by "Save The Sameric":
At a luncheon ceremony attended by Mayor Street of Philadelphia, the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia presented the Community Action Award to The Committee to Save the Sameric, Howard B. Haas, Chairman.
The Committee to Save the Sameric was formed in June 2002 following the issuance of a demolition permit for historic Boyd Theater in Philadelphia. Dedicated members of the film community, film buffs, and preservationists were brought together by Howard B. Haas, a Center City lawyer, to create a grass-roots campaign to preserve the theater. Media support and petitions signed by 5000 individuals eventually led to Mayor Street's endorsement for preservation.
Although the future of the theater is still in question, the efforts of hundreds of volunteers-coordinated by a leadership group consisting of Haas, Shawn Evans, AIA, Michael Norris, Jay Farrell, Rob Bender, Andrew Repasky McElhinney, Adrian Scott Fine, and John Andrew Gallery-have demonstrated the effectiveness of grass-roots preservation action and given hope that the Boyd will be returned to its Art Deco splendor.
Haas accepted the award and pointed out in particular the heroic volunteer assistance of architect Shawn Evans, but noted that Philadelphia's last movie palace has not been saved yet and asked the 300 people in the audience to help.
Congratulations to Howard Haas and Shawn Evans and all of the supporters of Save The Sameric for a job incredibly well done!

Charlotte Fagan's unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant had strained her marriage to the breaking point. Then the call came--the Fagans were approved for adoption. Her estranged husband, Sean, agreed to pose as the happily married father-to-be--provided that once the adoption went through Charlotte grant him a divorce. Now at least one of her dreams would come true--even as another turned to dust.
Sean Fagan still loved Charlotte enough to help this last time, but after that they were through-- or so he resolved, until their trip to the overseas adoption agency made him rediscover everything wonderful about this woman. Would a beautiful baby girl tear Charlotte and Sean apart--or bind them together like never before?

Michael R. Vonderohe (ISP Photo)
A student at Metro-East Lutheran High School alleges a teacher had improper sexual conduct with her, according to a lawsuit filed Sept. 11 in Madison County Circuit Court.
Plaintiff Jane Doe claims Michael R. Vonderohe of Dallas City, Ill. assaulted her between October and November 2003 at the Edwardsville high school through conduct that allegedly included physical touching, exploitation, intimidation and harassment.
The conduct was "so extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency," the complaint states.
Represented by D. Jeffrey Ezra of Ezra & Associates in Collinsville, Doe is suing The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and Southern Illinois District, the high school and Vonderohe for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault and battery.
The suit claims the defendants were negligent for hiring Vonderohe when the school "knew or reasonably should have known at the time of his hiring that he had a background exhibiting questionable moral fiber..."
Doe also alleges that a background check would have disclosed his unfitness for employment with minors.
According to a state sexual offender website, Vonderohe was convicted of aggravated criminal sex abuse of a victim between 13 and 18 years of age in Madison County.
Among other things, the suit also claims the defendants were negligent for failing to:
Doe's suit was filed within two years of her 18th birthday, according to the complaint.
Doe has suffered pain, mental anguish, psychological impairment, disability, and/or distress, and has incurred medical expenses, the complaint states.
"That the conduct did indeed actually cause severe emotional distress in that Doe has sought and is continuing to seek psychological counseling, is suffering and will continue to suffer emotional distress," the complaint states.
The 23-count suit seeks in excess of $1 million in damages, plus costs of the suit.

Do you ever stop to consider
All the damage that you do
When all your wicked whispers just ain't true
Can't turn my back incase you bite
Face to face you lose the fight
Your mind is closed - your mouth is open wide
He said, she said - He said, she said
Another lie to push us under
Your false witness takes the stand
He said, she said selling slander
Oh oh oh oh..
Does it ever make you wonder
If it's all just jealousy
Makes you sneer at what you'll never be
Got a bitter twisted tongue
You like to bad mouth everyone
Stirring trouble's your idea of fun
He said, she said - He said, she said
A love life of pure fabrication
Dine out on exaggeration
For dessert have someone's reputation

Every day, TheStreet.com Ratings compiles a list of the top 10 stocks in five categories -- fast-growth, all-around value, large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap -- and publishes these lists on the Ratings section of our Web site.The rankings are based on our ratings, which assess risk-adjusted returns, as well as other criteria specific to the type of stock.
Insurance and financial services company MetLife (MET - Get Report) has merited a buy rating since December 2004. With a strong market position and growing international operations, the company is poised for strong financial performance. MetLife has bolstered its market position in the core insurance and annuity business with its acquisition of TIC. It now has one of the broadest distribution networks in the sector. Growth is expected through ongoing consolidation within the industry. The risks to the buy rating include the negative impact of any changes in interest rates, equity prices and any slowdown of the economy.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report) has been rated a buy since November 2004. This computer manufacturer's positives include robust top-line growth due to strong demand for its products, focused cost-cutting initiatives and improving profitability. Its strategy of acquiring businesses that complement its core operations is also commendable. However, the optimism is tempered by the intense competition in the desktop, laptop and printer markets from Dell (DELL) and Lexmark (LXK). This pressures H-P to cut costs.

On some platforms (in my case a SheevaPlug running on armv5te) it may be difficult or impossible to obtain a version of Erlang built with support for the crypto standard library. I grepped the CouchDB source and have attempted to reproduce the used crypto calls in pure Erlang.
I have reproduced the start/0, rand_uniform/2, rand_bytes/1, sha/1, and sha_mac/2 functions, along with test_sha/1 and test_sha_mac/1 functions to validate the pure Erlang results against the crypto library's results. The public non-test functions attempt to first call into crypto if available, as it is the preferred implementation.
As I'm not familiar with the build system, app system, etc. of Erlang I am only attaching the library implementation. I'm sure more work would be required to fully integrate it into CouchDB if accepted.
As far as licensing goes, SHA1 is defined in NIST FIPS 180-2 (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips180-2/fips180-2.pdf), and according to the IETF, the patent covering the algorithm has been made royalty-free (https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/858).

Added notes about cryptographic insecurity of the rand_* functions and corrected licensing information thanks to clarification by Dw on the mailing list. The SHA-related functions are a derivative work under the CC-BY-SA license, so I'm not sure about their eligibility for inclusion under the Apache license.
This may be a moot point however, as although the speed on small data sets is acceptable, on larger data sets it becomes a hindrance. For example, hashing 1MB of data on my Athlon64 X2 5000+ takes ~3.3s.
Though http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ states that derivative works of SA may be distributed "under the same, similar or a compatible license" (which would lead me to believe there's a chance the Apache license could be compatible), http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/ declares that one must "license their new creations under the identical terms."
Sorry for the trouble. :[
Reopening, as this is a good idea.
I think it's worth inquiring from the legal list about algorithms implemented based on wikipedia articles.
My gut says we can use it. If we can't, it's worth redoing the work based on the original govt papers, or perhaps APR because we know it is clean.
Jonathan, do you have a Wikipedia URL for the pseudocode?
I'm guessing that a big part of this hinges on 2 questions:
did you copy/paste or type from scratch?
how different is the code.
I'm working on an email to legal-discuss, but we should have the Wikipedia URLs before sending.
The SHA1 pseudo-code came from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SHA_hash_functions&oldid=338273346#SHA-1_pseudocode. It was hand-typed as I attempted to convert from imperative to functional code. This is one of my first attempts at serious Erlang and functional programming in general so it was originally intended as an intellectual challenge.
The currently posted version is very similar structurally. My latest (unposted) version has ~15% improved performance and is very different structurally (combined the extend and loop sections to avoid list construction). I can post this latest version if it'll help.
The HMAC pseudo-code came from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMAC&oldid=336183553#Implementation which is actually incorrect. I corrected my implementation from the RFC description at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2104. The code is very similar, but this is an algorithm I would argue can only really be implemented one way... It's only ten lines of pseudo-code.
I unfortunately think it's a moot point because the pure Erlang performance is too poor to be useful and will likely have to be implemented as a native extension, external port, or something like that to be feasible...
Thanks for the links. If you are interested in sharing the new version, I'm interested in pursing the licensing questions.
I'm not sure about the performance. I know it would be slower, but so much slower that it would matter for a single user running an app on an embedded device?
The idea of making a C-based port version of it seems redundant to me: isn't that already basically what the stdlib crypto app does?
The appeal of pure-Erlang crypto is that we can fall back on it in places where it's hard to build native code.
Do others think this is worth pursing or are we just setting a bunch of GameBoy users up for UUID collisions in the year 2050?
This new version exports the pure functions (prefixed with pure_) for testing, adds test_rand_bytes/1 which reports the number of collisions found in N generated UUIDs, and combines the word expansion and mixing steps for sha/1.
The SHA1 implementation is about 15% faster than the previous version due to the elimination of list construction.
Also, after actually checking the sites where sha/1 and sha_mac/2 were called, I'm much less concerned about speed. I thought they were being used to calculate the revisions, so I was worried about possibly handling several MB. All the uses are dealing with authentication, though, and this version can hash about 21kB/s on my 1.2 GHz SheevaPlug.
I say give legal a ring. :]
When you say reports the number of collisions that's always zero right? If not then I'd be a bit worried.
Right, I've never had one reported.
I've sent a request to legal-discuss. Hopefully they've seen something like this before.
It looks like the consensus is that it's OK to use this code.
With that out of the way, we should see if there are any technical concerns before we start importing this into the codebase.
I think the module is small enough to avoid needing an explicit code grant: http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt
Question for other committers: should we import this as couch_crypto.erl or should it treated as it's own library and get a directory inside src?

Yes that's why I prefer to have a native erlang fallback instead of a
lightweight c implementation. At least it will be clear for
performance reasons that you shouldn't be running on less than a full
OpenSSL-based library.
I'd I think it's worth the cost of widespread adoption on embedded
devices. Maybe it'd be smart to make a compile time dependency
warning, so people know what they are getting into.
Devs – what about this compile time warning if we drop back to native crypto? This might be more solid from a no-surprises standpoint than the current patch which switches at runtime.

Thank you kadare! Worked perfectly.
I'm also having the same problem. I played Infectonator 2 all the way through earlier this week and now that it has badges, I'm no longer able to play because of the Flash 11 requirement.

Rochester man charged in Dayton St. homicide
Posted May 14th, 2014 @ 3:41pm by Bud Lowell
A 21-year-old Rochester man has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting of Lawrence Richardson two years ago in April on Dayton Street.
Devante Spencer is accused of being the gunman who walked up to three men near the corner of Dayton and Bauman Streets and started shooting at them. All three were seriously injured and were rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital where Richardson died about 90 minutes after the attack.
Police said at the time it was not a random attack and they believe the suspect was dropped off by a car just before the shooting.
