Richmond Ballet II To Make Wolf Trap Debut
June 19th, 2014
Company Set to Perform at Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods at Prestigious Outdoor Venue
Richmond Ballet II (RBII), the second company for Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, is set to make its Wolf Trap debut, performing at the outdoor, Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods, June 25 and 26, 2014. The company plans to present its popular interactive children's performance, which pulls its inspiration from the professional company's 2013-14 season program, and features the well-known story of 'Cinderella'. These performances introduce children to the full-length ballet version of the beloved fairy tale, with music, dancing and narration. Sergei Prokofiev's dramatic score written for the famous story ballet and costumes designed by Richmond Ballet's own professional costume shop will round out these engaging performances. The two-day run at Wolf Trap will conclude the 2013-14 touring season for the second company.
"We have had such a successful year, touring across the Commonwealth of Virginia," said Igor Antonov, RBII Director. "We are excited to finish out our season with the opportunity to perform at one of the most well-known performing arts venues in this country."
Richmond Ballet announced the addition of RBII, an elite group of ten professional dancers led by former Richmond Ballet dancer Igor Antonov, in 2012. It has long been the mission of Richmond Ballet to awaken and uplift the human spirit; by adding another company, Richmond Ballet is able to better achieve its mission and deepen the organization's impact in the community. RBII serves as the ambassadors of Richmond Ballet's outreach and education programs by performing lecture-demonstrations and youth performances.

A mixture of passion to help those less fortunate than myself and the desire to completely immerse myself in another culture led me down the dusty dirt paths of the slums of Mishomoroni, Kenya, to New Hope Orphanage, with the countless rows of wide brown eyes greeting me at every corner. I was 18 and on my own, scared and apprehensive as I had never been out of Europe before, yet I found myself feeling somewhat at home among all of these new, smiling faces.
New Hope is a school as well as an orphanage, based in a small district of Mombasa in Kenya, near the Indian Ocean. The buildings placed so close together on the dirt tracks created a cramped atmosphere, yet the surrounding fields dotted with palm trees were a pleasant retreat away from it all, and it was also the place that the children called their playground.
On my first day, after being introduced to the 30 children who permanently reside among the narrow corridors and dark walls of the orphanage, I was thrust into the chaotic ordeal of trying to teach twenty 7-year-olds who couldn't speak English, a basic science class. I might have been slightly terrified, but the look of awe upon their innocent faces as I tried to communicate with them made the experience worthwhile and I felt a sense of accomplishment as I sauntered out of the classroom at the end of the lesson.
I was then greeted by swarms of fifty or more children, eager for me to take their picture and barely giving me a chance to breathe! Here, I learned a lot of their names and discovered that although the children I taught science to could speak only Swahili, the kids above the age of around 10 could speak conversational English perfectly. Michael, a boy of around 11 but who was not sure of his actual age, preceded to tell me that he is going to call me 'Alex' and not 'Alice', as I soon learnt that 'Alice' is an extremely popular name in Kenya!
As well as teaching the children English, science, maths and geography, I also had a hand in cooking lunch – cabbage and 'ugali', a type of maize that is utterly tasteless but fills you up. New Hope's cook, Emily, with her hard-to-read expression and slight smile was watching as I attempted to stir the thick maize, and I eventually decided that cooking for 50-plus children was not my forte, and so I helped the children wash their hands instead. With no running water at the orphanage, some of the teenagers would fetch large buckets filled with the liquid from a nearby well each day.
On a few of my days from the two months that I spent at New Hope, I went with them and was astounded at just how heavy the containers were, once filled. The children never once complained about lugging these impossibly large buckets around, and seeing the smiles on their faces gave me a sense of melancholy as I thought about how much we take our running water for granted.
My days at the orphanage also led me to sewing ripped clothes, washing floors and scrubbing the basins of lunchtime's ugali out, under curious eyes of children passing by from class to class. At playtimes, I would often hear cries of 'cheza!' coming from the kids, meaning 'dance!'. I would then become the audience for four or so of the boys who would break out into Michael Jackson-style sliding, asking me to take photos and film them. This brought a smile to my face to know that these children, some of who are HIV Positive, seem to be happy in their own way, and are just like kids in any other part of the world.
The owner of New Hope, a middle-aged kindly-faced Kenyan woman named Violet, was extremely welcoming and would invite me round her house for cups of tea after school hours. She also tried to teach me how to carry boxes and containers on my head, which, to the chorus of laughter from some of the children, I positively failed in doing so! Violet would take me to the markets to show me where to buy the bright coloured fabrics called kangas that the women here wear. I bought several as the heat was explosive at times and the material really kept you cool.
Teaching the children, and especially the older ones, was a very rewarding experience as they are all so eager to learn, with several arms soaring to the sky every time I asked a question. Willson, one of the most intelligent boys of the oldest class would often tell me about his dreams to become a pilot and his wishes to travel the world.
At the end of two months at New Hope Orphanage, I felt that I had formed such strong bonds with the children. Some of them were so intelligent and they were the smiliest, happiest children I had ever seen. Leaving them left me empty as I drove away on the local minibus, called matatus, past the herds of goats crossing the roads and the endless street stalls selling pineapples and bananas. I looked behind to see a sea of grinning children waving me goodbye, and a bittersweet feeling overcame me as I realised that even though these children do not have parents, they are happy.
Looking back, I am so glad that I decided to venture into the middle of Africa on my own to a community that changed my life. If I didn't go I would never have known that a place so far away from home could feel like I had actually come home.
Alice Bzowska is a London-based writer who currently writes for London theatre blog, Theatres.TV. She has traveled throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, and since her first trip to the New Hope orphanage has returned another year to visit.

|More routes to add to your guide book. I do not know all the names and some off the grades are ball park. We will be starting on left side of the sunshine right of the Euphamiah Beresford Wall and left of Attitude Wall (Mean Streak). Unknown name 11a/b, 200' right is Dancing with Myself 12a, it is just left of Mean Streak. Land of the Shorties- Mechanical Animals is done 12d, in between Mechanical animals and Proudest Monkey is a mid 5.11 forgot the name it pulls roof at bottom and top. AMC wall left of Rambler, Funk in the Trunk upper end 5.11 pulls roof. Big Black Face just left of Lost Ninja is a 5.10a. Just right of Cougar's Pupil is Eye of the Tiger 5.10c.The Prow, Just right of The Rally is Bald/Shaved 5.10+ same start as Rally just move right then stem the crack. Right of Sammy Sosa is Arlen the Choad 12a then you can climb past the anchors of Sundance to Arlen the Choad's anchors it MAY? make Sundance a letter grade harder. First Wall Area Twin Pipe Papa is 12a and there is a route right of this on next buttress red rock to good rock I think it is hard 10 or low end 11. Next Wall right of Lucky Strike mid 5.12 left of Witchnose Arete 12a. When I get the names figured out I will post them.

|Hey Mike. What about the route to the left of Hopeful Monsters? Isn't there a 12+/13- in there?
By Mikel Cronin
Nov 17, 2006
Yeah there is one that goes left. I think it shares the first bolt or two of Hopeful. Leave it to you to remember that.

Nobody has done Hopeful yet. It has seen some tries but no success. Speaking about grades getting soft, maybe it is you that is getting soft HAHA.

|Is that smack I'm picking up? Your probably right, I've been stuffing my hands in to many cracks lately. It sounds like your the man for Hopeful. I just got back into the gym yesterday after not climbing for almost a month. I find that being an old man requires more than gin and good beer to get my sorry ass up the wall. On the other hand I find gear gives one the opportunity to hang whenever you like, there's something to be said for that. Have you been getting out much or is the weather holding everydody inside? Speaking of old men how are Muira and Heather?

Is there a new route somewhere on the right side of the big black face?
According to the book, there are only two routes between Candy Apple Grey and the Crack route. It seems there are three and I am having trouble determining which is Land Speed Record or Husker Don't.
Also, does anyone know the grade of the route left of Astro Pop on first wall that shares its start?
By Mikel Cronin
Apr 27, 2008
I think I have the answers to your ? The farthest left most route on the big black face was put in since the guide book. So now the left most route is about mid 5.10 if you follow the bolt line, if you go out left into the choss it is about 5.9+. The 2nd route from left is Lost Ninja 5.9. That should put you on track. That would make it 7 routes on that main wall. The next route you come to after the black face is Cougar Pupil and left of that is a newer route Eye of the Tiger 5.10c. The route that starts of off Astro Pop is Feel My Heat at about 5.11a or b. Hope this helps.

|My guess is that route is lost ninja as there was a new route added to its left after the guidebook was written.

|The parking area is closer to 2 miles from Cheyenne crossing, there is a small bridge at the back of the parking lot. Spearfish canyon has amazing rock quality, but the grades at the low end are sandbagged compared to smith rock, lander, American fork, or almost any other sport crag I have been too. The bolts are typically close enough that a fall will be short and painless, but add a grade to all the 8, 9, & 10s and you'll have a more realistic rating for your chosen route. And if you want to climb the softest grades in the country check out tensleep.

|The BHCC and American Alpine Club are hosting a Trail and Crag Cleanup Day at the Sunshine Wall in Spearfish Canyon on Saturday April 26th from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Please wear the proper attire (leather gloves) and bring any trail tools (shovel, pick axes) or tree pruning tools that you may have. The blizzard and tree damage this fall wiped out sections of the trails, and it would be great to get those taken care of and the trash in parking area picked up. We have a bunch of swag to give out as well so it should be a fun event. If you enjoy climbing in Spearfish Canyon, this would be a great way to pitch in and help out. Hope to see you next weekend!

|So the "getting there" for Sunshine and the bunny slope both suck. Drive into the canyon 26 miles? From where?! Three miles from the crossing? Down what road and what direction. I just spent an hour lost in the dark. So thanks for sending me to what I'm guessing was the danks. I'm guessing the parking is 1.1-1.2 miles from the Cheyenne crossing down 85 east/south. I wouldn't know because I never got to Sunshine.

Yo Pontoon, check this guidebook out, excellent directions, and GPS to plug in as well for the individual parking spots for each crag.

|The parking for sunshine is 1.2 miles east of cheyenne crossing on google maps. The description of driving 26 miles into the caynon is if you are coming from I-90 and Spearfish. I prefer (if coming from rapid City) to take the exit at sturgis and go through deadwood/lead which will take you to cheyenne crossing. from here it is 1.1/1.2 miles. if you zoom on google maps you'll see the lot with a two track driveway on the SE side leading over a bridge. look even more closely on the north side of the road and slightly NW of the parking lot and you'll see the trail leading up to the crag. this trail will put you right in front of Astro Pop. Go left for the big black face and many more down that way (including the bunny slope, although you can park farther east/south down 85 as the walk from the big black face takes you past many walls and is roughly 10-15minutes) or go right for light bulb buttress and others.

ComRent International and Power Engineering Partner to Deliver Power Testing Solutions in the Middle East
ComRent International, LLC, the leading load bank rental service company in North America, and Power Engineering, a full-service power generation and services company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, have formed a joint venture to serve the growing demand for power testing solutions in the Middle East. From its location in Al-Khobar, ComRent International's Middle East office will be responsible for providing best-in-class testing of critical backup and primary power systems across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Middle East. The company is scheduled to open its doors in December.
When asked about the decision to expand operations to the Middle East, Paul Clewell, Vice President, Global Development for ComRent International, commented, "We expect Saudi Arabia's energy consumption to more than double in the next 15 years, giving rise to a more concentrated effort to leverage today's technology to develop more efficient power systems.
"By partnering with Power Engineering, we have created a comprehensive power testing service that will diminish the testing challenges currently faced by local energy and power consultants, service providers and manufacturers," Clewell said. "Together we will help ensure safe sustainable power operations across the Middle East."
Clayton Taylor, President of ComRent International, added, "We're very fortunate to have found a partner who shares our dedication to meeting power-related needs of customers in many industries; oil and gas, maritime, data centers, utilities and the military are among sectors that we'll be supporting in the Middle East. Additionally, Power Engineering and ComRent share very similar corporate philosophies, placing high value on customer success and doing what it takes to remain at the forefront of the power industry in our respective areas of expertise."
Power Engineering is part of the 100 percent Saudi-owned Almisehal Group, which is well known for its services to the major oil companies and telecom operators in the Kingdom. Paul Anderson, head of business development for Power Engineering, is coordinating ComRent's initial operations in the Middle East.
According to Mr. Yasser Al-Misehal, President of Power Engineering, "We have a strong track record in our Group for delivering mission-critical support across the Kingdom to customers who have high standards and require second-to-none support and quality. Communication networks and IT systems as well as primary and standby power systems are among the deliverables we provide."
"Having invested heavily in our company's own infrastructure, we consistently look to identify key services and offerings that would complement our current portfolio and fill a market requirement whilst utilizing our existing business assets. Load banks and power testing fulfilled our analysis criteria as they are key elements in the growth of the Kingdom's infrastructure," he said.
"While assessing the load bank and power testing market, we quickly realized that ComRent International is the market leader and would be the partner of choice for any company expanding into this market segment. Power Engineering is proud to align itself with ComRent International and is committed to ensuring the success of ComRent's operations in the Middle East. Through this strategic collaboration, we will bring new levels of power safety and availability to one of the strongest growing economies in the world," Yasser Al-Misehal said.
Power Engineering's customer base encompasses every corner of KSA and beyond, covering numerous market areas that include the telecoms, oil and gas, utilities, commercial and industrial sectors. Power Engineering is a full turnkey supplier, able to manage all aspects of a project cycle from design and integration to supply, installation and maintenance.

'I can't imagine teaching with just the basics given to me'
Watch your local TV news and this website for more on this story
EUGENE, Ore. - Teachers across America are spending money out of their own paycheck to make sure their students have the supplies they need.
One of those teachers is Allison Kreider. She teaches 3rd grade at Howard Elementary School in the Eugene 4J School District.
She said the district gives all teachers a $250 allowance. With a class of around 27 students, that works out to less than $10 per student.
Krieder said her strategy resembles the show "Exteme Couponing." She knows where the deals are, how to get discounts and how to get partially reimbursed come tax time.
Even then, Krieder said she spends more than $1,000 of her own money to get the supplies, iPad app subscriptions, technology and other resources to her classroom.
"I can't imagine teaching with just the basics given to me without my own investment," Krieder said.
Krieder said there is a difference between what the district will provide and what parents are expected to buy - and that teachers pay for the rest.
"We have a uniform supplies list that covers the basics of what each grade is covering, but every teacher teaches a different way," she said, explaining why the basic supplies list isn't enough to take care of a students year round needs.

When the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) issued an advisory on "unlicensed third-party service providers" back in June 2009, it killed a lot of deals that were pending at the time. It's considered a key reason Amazon.com's foray into the wine space ended before it really began. It sent a chill out to operators of third-party websites used in marketing wine. ABC said it was concerned because "unlicensed third parties" were "exercising privileges which only extend to retail licensees."
Since then ABC has a new leader and industry working groups have been meeting to discuss the issue.
I was expecting this thing to drag out longer - the wheels of the ABC turn slowly - but the ABC is making a big announcement today, coinciding with the NCSLA conference in San Francisco.
Will Amazon get back into the game now?
A list of principles to guide third-party providers and wineries will be helpful because when you're a licensee and do something that's not within the boundaries of statute and regulation, you're potentially susceptible to a fine. Third-party providers will have more clarity on what they can do and wineries will be on the hook if the rules aren't followed.
The order is expected to say that third-party marketers may accept consumer credit card information and may debit the card subject to the licensees acceptance of the order as long as funds are deposited to an account the licensee controls.
It could cause folks to scramble because it's not going to be easy to comply with. Licensees will need to control payment, compensation and fulfillment.

The High Cost of a Cheap Dollar
No. 131
Thursday, October 24, 2013
by R. David Ranson
The United States and other countries intermittently or persistently pursue currency depreciation - to the point that the phrase "currency wars" is now part of many nations' vocabularies. Switzerland and Japan remained among the holdouts for many years. But, in the last few years, central banks in both countries have joined the movement.
Since August 2011, the Swiss franc has depreciated by 20 percent from its peak against the euro, and now trades in a narrow range with the euro. In Japan, when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came to power, he reduced the value of the yen relative to dollar-based currencies by 20 percent in 10 months.
If the foreign-exchange value of a currency falls, the exports of the country appear to be cheaper in other countries, and imports from abroad appear to be more expensive. Cheap currency policies are therefore widely justified as boosting "export-led growth." This is a politically convenient doctrine. All over the world, large industrial companies are concentrated much more in the export sector than the import sector. Exporters command much more influence in politics and stock markets than the consumers who have to pay higher prices for imported goods. In accord with exporters' interests, mainstream wisdom asserts that economic policies designed to favor the export sector will benefit the economy as a whole.
Milton Friedman demolished this argument more than 30 years ago:
"Another fallacy seldom contradicted is that exports are good, imports bad. The truth is very different... Exports are the price we pay to get imports. As Adam Smith saw so clearly, the citizens of a nation benefit from getting as large a volume of imports as possible in return for its exports, or equivalently, from exporting as little as possible to pay for its imports."1
Friedman argued against both export subsidies and import tariffs. His reasoning implies that more successful economies run trade deficits - import more goods and services than they export - in comparison to countries with trade surpluses. He did not necessarily mean that the former grow faster than the latter, only that the former achieve higher standards of living from the same resources. For example, China and other countries have run trade surpluses and still grew rapidly over the past two decades, but Friedman's point is that if they had run trade deficits instead, their standards of living would have been higher.
Evidence from the United States shows that currency depreciation leads to a temporary boost in exports, but reduced growth in total output. A small part of the boost to the export sector from currency depreciation appears to persist in the long run. But it is achieved only at the expense of slower growth in the economy as a whole.
Impact of Currency Depreciation on U.S. Economic Growth. Those who advocate "export-led growth" often assert that cheap currency policies will increase exports and national output (gross domestic product) over time. However, there is a 40-year history to the contrary since President Richard Nixon ended fixed exchange rates between the dollar and other countries and allowed the dollar to "float."
The question at issue is not whether currency depreciation benefits the United States relative to other economies, but whether it benefits the U.S. economy in absolute terms. Changes in exchange rates among currencies are signs of relative depreciation or relative appreciation. Economists traditionally measure the dollar's depreciation in terms of a market basket of foreign currencies. The interpretation of a change in the foreign-exchange value of the dollar is never completely clear. At times the dollar appears to have declined when in fact it simply increased in value less than foreign currencies. At other times it appears to rise, when in fact both the dollar and foreign currencies depreciated.
This ambiguity is avoided by expressing the dollar in terms of gold, a form of money whose real value is historically constant over very long periods of time. The link between changes in the dollar price of gold and changes in foreign exchange rates is strong. Since 1973, gold prices and foreign exchange rates have moved in the same direction 72 percent of the time - 92 percent of the time when the change in the gold price was more than 10 percent. This correlation implies that the gold value of foreign exchange is more stable than the gold value of the dollar. In sum, changes in the gold value of a currency are signs of absolute depreciation or absolute appreciation.
Figure I provides a simple test to determine whether depreciation of the dollar in terms of gold tends to be followed by higher or by lower economic growth. It puts calendar years into three categories according to the degree of change in the price of gold. The categories are the eight years in which gold declined the most; the eight years during which it rose the most; and the 24 years in which its price changed intermediately. For each category, the chart shows the average growth of real GDP in the current and subsequent years. Specifically:
- By the fourth year following weak-dollar years (the red line) GDP grew about 8 percent cumulatively or, on average, 2 percent per year.
- By the fourth year following the strong dollar years (the green line), GDP grew 16 percent or, on average, 4 percent per year.
Clearly, years of dollar weakness (a rise in the gold price) tend to be followed by lower economic growth and years of dollar strength (a fall in the gold price) tend to be followed by higher economic growth. Moreover, given that the economy grows more slowly after the dollar has depreciated, it implies a tendency for reduced growth across all sectors of the economy, including both imports and exports.
The cumulative adverse effect on real GDP peaks at four to five years; then the economy begins to shake off the negative effects.
Impact of Currency Depreciation on U.S. Employment and Unemployment. Currency depreciation over time leads to another unfortunate, but not unexpected, consequence: higher unemployment. The multiyear relationship between the price of gold and the U.S. unemployment rate is confirmed by Figure II:
- Over a four-year period, the weak dollar years (red bars) resulted in an increase in the official unemployment rate averaging 2.19 percentage points.
- The strong dollar years represented by the green bars resulted in a decline in the unemployment rate averaging 0.76 percentage points.
The relationship is not symmetrical, as a fall in the price of gold does not reduce unemployment to the same extent that a rise in the price of gold increases it. As might be expected, it is easier to disrupt a well-functioning economy than it is to return it to normalcy.
Taken together, Figures I and II imply that currency depreciation comes at a high cost to the economy.
Impact of Currency Depreciation on Exports Relative to GDP. Regardless of its effects on the economy, experts widely agree that depreciation of the dollar - at least temporarily - promotes exports. Conversely, exports suffer from a strong dollar. To reconcile this with the effect on GDP, Figure III shows how exports, expressed as a percentage of GDP, respond year by year when there is a change in the price of gold. For each category of annualized change in the price of gold (high, low and intermediate), the figure shows the average change in the exports-GDP ratio subsequent to weak dollar years (red) and strong dollar years (green). The effects of currency change reach their maximum in year 3, showing:
- Weak dollar years resulted in an average increase of about 27 percent in the ratio of exports to GDP.
- Strong dollar years resulted in an average reduction of 5 percent in the ratio of exports to GDP.
- Weak and strong years diverge by as much as 32 percentage points, but after two or three additional years, the divergence narrows to about 10 percentage points.
Thus, Figure III confirms the consequences of currency depreciation for exports. There is a dramatic increase in the ratio of exports to GDP when the price of gold rises substantially, and a corresponding decline when the price of gold falls. The impact reaches its maximum after three years, but the trajectories converge after that. Comparing the degree of divergence at the high point to the change after an additional two years, about two-thirds of the increase in exports due to depreciation is eventually lost.
Recalling Figure I, over the same initial three years, national output (GDP) is reduced. Furthermore, after five years, the residual boost to the exports-GDP ratio decreases, while the cumulative reduction in GDP keeps growing. The numbers suggest that, for each percentage point depreciation in the dollar, the estimated net boost to real exports is about four basis points (0.04 percent) of GDP. That growth appears to be the long-term impact - hardly enough to compensate for the harm done to other sectors of the economy.
Conclusion. Exports are part of the cost side of the economy; imports are the benefit the country gains in return for that cost. Economic policies that promote exports at the expense of imports, such as currency depreciation, reduce the growth of GDP over time. That shift substantially lessens long-term gains in the real value of exports produced by a cheap dollar. Public policy can manipulate the currency and the economy to increase the amount that exports contribute to national output (GDP). But a country that succeeds in this effort has impoverished itself. The phrase "beggar my neighbor" is an understatement.

|It's short with an interesting boulder problem start. I found some graceful beta off of a tenuous left sidepull. Foot placement and body-tension are important. I thought it was a better warmup for Lucid Dreaming than Mr. Sandman, for instance. Also more convenient. It was pretty dirty, so I gave it a decent brushing. The bolts are placed well, and the crux is engaging enough that it deserves two stars, imo.

In the view of documentarians Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, fallen '80s televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker -- she of the pink feather boas and the streetwalker mascara -- was the misunderstood victim of right-wing religious zealots, unscrupulous reporters and a corrupt judicial system. Now living "in exile" (also known as Palm Springs), she remains a profoundly spiritual seeker of truth who's weathered all manner of insult, infirmity and humiliation with the patience of Job. Barbato and Bailey also find her a "fabulous mess." Clearly smitten, they turn The Eyes of Tammy Faye into a campy gay valentine in which the former Praise the Lord network star is held up as a pop saint, a heroine of diversity and -- we're not kidding here -- a deep thinker.
Whatever opinions you hold about Tammy Faye or figures straight out of Madame Tussaud's selling Jesus on the boob tube, the moviemakers offer no shred of evidence to support their claim that "there was nothing crooked or fraudulent about PTL." Tammy Faye's first husband, baby-faced PTL founder Jim Bakker, was convicted of fraud and sent to jail for 45 years; her second husband, PTL "contractor" Roe Messner, got out of the slammer in March 1999 after doing a stretch of his own. But Barbato and Bailey aren't investigators; they're fans. No use letting unpleasant facts get in the way of your affection for a self-made martyr.
The film's makers, whose credits include documentaries on Ellen Degeneres and HIV-positive comedian Steve Moore, may decline to address PTL's dubious finances, but Tammy Faye has some bizarre appeal nonetheless. Narrated by New York drag queen RuPaul Charles and stuffed with admiration for its subject's mulish perseverance, this arch and often hilarious documentary reveals what an icon she has become among segments of the gay community: To her credit, she was the first televangelist to embrace gays and HIV sufferers. Unwittingly, it also reveals some absurdities and hypocrisies the filmmakers seem to grasp only in part -- and Tammy Faye not at all. Cozied up on her white satin divan with a pair of miniature poodles, she declares, "I like real!" Well, fine, as long as you define "real" as six ounces of eye shadow, lots of baby talk and a capacity for bursting into tears every time someone looks at you cross-eyed. The forty-odd record albums our heroine recorded in her TV heydey, singing out of tune on every cut, must also have seemed pretty real at the time: Bedazzled fans shelled out $25 a copy.

At its peak, PTL had millions of viewers, the 2,500-acre Heritage USA theme park and a bank account that would shame most smaller countries. But by the mid-'80s, the end was near. Husband Jim was caught in the tawdry Jessica Hahn affair, the Charlotte Observer started poking around, and the PTL empire, long dedicated to "the Gospel of Fun," began to crumble. Through no fault of the management, the movie says. Enter Jerry Falwell, public moralist and enthusiastic gay-basher. It was Falwell, Barbato and Bailey say, who snaked PTL away from the simon-pure Bakkers, effectively ending Tammy Faye's nice little run at fame and fortune. Regarding the depth of the scandal, she reports, "O.J. Simpson was nothing compared to what we had around us." It's not chagrin that fills her voice, but rather an eerie kind of pride. For the dedicated self-promoter, any kind of notoriety is better than none at all.
Since kicking an addiction to painkillers (her current jones is Diet Coke), beating colon cancer, reconciling with a rebellious daughter and getting remarried, Tammy Faye says she's still a simple country girl at heart but has, in recent years, discovered her true self. To wit: "I'm a very secular person." Wow. Who would've guessed it? Near the end of The Eyes of Tammy Faye, we catch her pitching talk-show ideas in the L.A. office of a cable-TV president. Each idea is lamer than the last. The young executive gives Tammy Faye a courtesy-has-its-limit look, and she blurts, "Well, what do you see me doing?"
The answer, of course, is zilch. In the huge gap between Tammy Faye's blundering self-delusion and the heroism the moviemakers are intent on portraying, there's a good deal of unintentional comedy -- and just the slightest hint of tragedy. Obviously deluded but likable, she comes off as another dazzled striver hungering after celebrity on a minimum of talent. Today she's a Sunday church organist, a wife and mother and a campy gay icon. In other words, Tammy Faye has a few things going for her "in exile," even if her TV career appears to be over. Most important, she's a survivor. Jim J. Bullock, her co-host on a short-lived talk show she landed in the early '90s, says it all: "After a nuclear holocaust, there will be only cockroaches -- and Tammy Faye."

BERN (Feb. 20)
The first Rumanian Jew to succeed in escaping from Transnistria to Switzerland, today gave an appalling eye-witness account of how the Rumanian authorities drove thousands of Jews to death after having robbed them of all their belongings including their last shreds of clothing.
"Jews who happened to be wearing a good overcoat or good shoes were deliberately executed so that the Rumanian soldiers could get their clothing," the escaped Jew reported. "The soldiers and officers who escorted the deported Rumanian Jews to
Transnistria threatened that anyone carrying forbidden articles would be shot on the spot. Although the Jews weren't permitted to take with them any jewelry or more than 2,000 lei, most of the unfortunate people handed over to the soldiers whatever money and valuables they had."
The escaped Jew related how 6,000 Rumanian Jews, of whom he was one, were deported to a Transnistrian village named Pecorka. Most of the journey, he said, was made on foot under the most terrible circumstances. "Hundreds of the deportees, mostly women and children, died on the road before they even reached their destination,"the stated. "Those of us who reached Pecorka were quartered in ruined dilapidated barracks. It was winter, but we were not permitted to keep the barracks heated, nor could we repair the barracks because we were not given any tools. Many persons were frozen to death.
The Jews in Transnistria had to live on a small piece of almost unedible black bread and a plate of soup a day, the eye-witness related. Anyone who had succeeded in holding on to some money bribed the Rumanian soldiers to get bread at exhorbitant prices. A few succeeded in securing odd jobs and earned a little money, but the majority of the Jewish deportees literally starved.
"When Spring came," the escaped Jew continued, "nearly 4,000 of the 11,000 Jews who were interned in Pecorka had died of hunger or illness caused by starvation and cold. Many had been frozen to death after they exchanged their clothing and shirts for bread. I have seen with my own eyes how Jewish women ate grass in order to still their hunger. Jewish children whose fathers and mothers had died from starvation searched the rubbish heaps for potato peels which were considered luxurious food."
The entire scheme of mass-deportation of Jews from Rumania to Transnistria was merely a means of blackmail, the escaped Jew pointed out. "Enormous amounts were asked by the Rumanian authorities from Jews who sought to avoid being deported. Sometimes, they ran into millions of lei. Those Jews who were known to be wealthy were so exploited by the Rumanians that in the end they were reduced to beggary," he said.
The eye-witness revealed that a Jewish lawyer from Czernowitz named Zimmer, who was among the deportees, wrote to the Rumanian governor of Transnistria asking that he help him submit to Premier Antonescu an appeal in behalf of the deported Jews. Since Zimmer was a school-mate of the governor, his plea was taken into consideration. He was permitted to present a petition asking that Jews in Rumania be allowed to collect relief funds for the Jews in Transnistria and also to send them clothing and medicine. Antonescu, after long deliberations, permitted Jews in Rumania to spend twenty-five million lei a month for this purpose on condition that the relief funds collected were to be deposited with the National Bank of Rumania through which the money was to be transmitted to Transnistria. This transaction resulted in a third of the funds collected for the Jewish deportees remaining with the National Bank as compensation.

Once upon a time, an Indian writer name Amitav Ghosh set out to find an Indian slave, name unknown, who some 700 years before had traveled to the Middle East. The journey took him to a small village in Egypt, where medieval customs coexisted with 20th-century desires and discontents. But even as Ghosh sought to re-create the life of his Indian predecessor, he found himself immersed in those of his modern Egyptian neighbors.
Combining shrewd observations with painstaking historical research, Ghosh serves up skeptics and holy men, merchants and sorcerers. Some of these figures are real, some only imagined, but all emerge as vividly as the characters in a great novel. In an Antique Land is an inspired work that transcends genres as deftly as it does eras, weaving an entrancing and intoxicating spell.
©1994 Amitav Ghosh (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"In a leisurely blend of travelogue, history and cross-cultural analysis, Indian writer Ghosh reconstructs a 12th-century master-slave relationship that confounds modern concepts of slavery." (Publishers Weekly)
"Mixed Worlds"
This book contains 2 stories of the Middle East and India: a coming of age story of a young, modern Hindu scholar living among Moslems, and a story of the travels of a medieval Jewish merchant living among Moslems and Hindus. Each story is engaging, but the connection between them is tenuous. Ghosh tries to draw comparisons between his experiences and those of his medieval subject, but they are unconvincing.
"Hated it"
Boring. Tedious. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did. The performance was ok but he didn't have much to work with.

Looking back to 153 days ago, Pandora Media ( P) priced a 18,200,000 share secondary stock offering at $25.00 per share. Buyers in that offering made a considerable investment into the company, expecting that their investment would go up over the course of time and based on early trading on Tuesday, the stock is now 43.9% above the offering price.Investors who did not participate in the offering but would be a buyer of P at a cheaper price, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2016 put at the $20 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $2.73. That would result in a cost basis of $17.27 per share before broker commissions in the scenario where the contract is exercised. If the contract is never exercised, the put seller would still keep the premium, which represents a 13.7% return against the $20.00 purchase commitment, or a 7.2% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).

HAIFA (Dec. 21)
A group of Palestinian Jewish citizens arrived here today from Germany in the first exchange to be effected under the terms of a British-German civilian exchange agreement. The group, numbering 29 women, 16 children and one aged man, was repatriated in exchange for a number of Germans rounded up in Afghanistan a few months ago. They stated that their release was "a real Chanukah miracle, because we expected to be held for the duration of the war."
The Palestinians were among many caught by the outbreak of war in Poland, where they were visiting relatives. They were transferred to Berlin and placed in a detention camp. On Dec. 7 they were moved to Vienna, then to Sofia and later to Istanbul. The trip from Istanbul to Haifa was made on a Turkish steamer under British escort.
According to the arrivals, there were no signs of famine in Germany proper, though food was inadequate and there was much underground grumbling over the rationing and the irregularity of supplies. Criticism of Hitler, they said, had markedly increased since the reverses suffered by the German armies on the eastern front. The German public, they declared, was still mystified over the Rudolf Hess flight to Scotland.

A middle school principal is being tapped for the top job at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg.
Interim Pinellas County school superintendent John Stewart is recommending that Stephanie Adkinson, the principal at Tyrone Middle School in St. Petersburg, replace Kevin Gordon, who is stepping down as Gibbs principal this month to become a provost at St. Petersburg College.
The School Board is expected to vote on the recommendation next week.
"She comes highly recommended from just about every district staff member to whom I spoke," Stewart said.
"I'm really flattered and humbled at the same time," said Adkinson. "And then it turns to bittersweetness because we worked so hard as a staff at Tyrone."
Gordon is credited for beginning a turnaround at Gibbs, which earned an F grade in 2009 and has been under state oversight. The school got a C last year.
Adkinson worked at Pinellas Park High for 19 years, all but two of those as a teacher. She was an assistant principal at Morgan Fitzgerald Middle for six years before becoming Tyrone's leader in 2003. Tyrone earned two B's and six C's during her tenure.
Both Stewart and Adkinson said that big challenges remain for Gibbs. Tops on the priority list: improving reading skills.
The percentage of Gibbs students reading at grade level or above last year was 36 percent, the same as it was in 2007. The percentage of nonmagnet students reading at grade level last year was 9 percent.
"We really, really want to continue that journey, as far as pushing that reading initiative with the kids," Adkinson said. "But certainly I will have to listen to staff and see what they're thinking is, to see what some of their suggestions are."
Adkinson was making $90,763 annually at Tyrone. It hasn't been determined what her salary at Gibbs would be.
Stewart is also recommending that Robin Mobley, an assistant principal at Gibbs, become acting principal at Tyrone. Mobley was an assistant principal at Tyrone before moving to Gibbs.

The United States is providing federal funding for police departments to purchase unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with deadly capabilities – and there's currently no oversight or transparency mandated for agencies or any other entities that are using drones against civilians.
According to the Houston Chronicle, the Montgomery County Police Department has purchased a $300,000 Vanguard Shadowhawk drone with a grant provided by the Department of Homeland Security. But unlike some of the other police drones currently in operation around the country, this drone has the capability to shoot tear gas and rubber bullets, as well as "taser projectiles."
Drones have long been used by the US in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and to target enemy combatants in Yemen, Pakistan and other locations. They are also being used by China, Russia, Iran and Israel, but a fierce debate is on the horizon here at home, as many are questioning where the limits on drones — whether that is conducting surveillance on or using force against civilians.
"It's simply not appropriate to use any of force, lethal or non-lethal, on a drone," said Catherine Crump, staff attorney for the ACLU, to CBS in May after Montgomery County's police chief announced what his drone is capable of.
The ACLU is also concerned with drones outside the realm of force, but they aren't the only ones. After a lawsuit filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation found that at least 18 federal agencies, local police departments, and even universities had requested and acquired federal permission from the Federal Aviation Authority to fly drones, a mass investigation into the proliferation of domestic drones began.

Easily accessible as downloads on the EFF site, cadres of documents include files that go back several years, some as far as 2004.
"The FAA documents we received mainly address safety issues with drone flights, but there are still many unanswered questions about the privacy implications of drones," says the EFF site, which links to information about the police departments of Seattle and North Little Rock, Arkansas, and schools like Virginia Tech and Texas A&M.
MuckRock.com, a kind of 'journalist's best friend' website that specializes in Freedom of Information Act requests, joined with EFF to continue the search on who has drones and what they're using them for. After the original submissions by the team of online truth-seekers, MuckRock users were encouraged to join in and add to the FOIA request queue in an attempt to really nail down the true number of organizations that use drones.
"Between funding issues, political backlash, and various regulations, the number is really nebulous, which is part of the impetus for the census," said Michael Morisy, co-founder of MuckRock to GlobalPost. Morisy and MuckRock have been working to send over 100 user-submitted FOIA requests to the respective agencies, departments or institutions they are addressed to.
As an example of the questionable number of those using drones, New York City isn't on the list, but the NYPD have been accused multiple times of using aerial drones by Occupy Wall Street activists. And this week a street artist put up "advertisements" and faux street signs that feature the city's finest spying on citizens. New York magazine reports that the artist installed the posters in over 50 locations around the city, although he claims not to be affiliated with OWS. (The NYPD do, however, possess a fleet of underwater drones.)
More from GlobalPost: Inside America's drone war, a moral black box
The Obama administration approved FAA licensing of civilian use of drones in February with the "Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act" which mandates opening American airspace for drones (without needing warrants), making sure they could be used by anyone who had permission from the FAA by 2015.
According to the Associated Press, however, the FAA has missed deadlines set by the law to begin setting up a system to integrate "routine use" of civilian drones, a report by the General Accounting Office said. There are six test cities that the FAA is working with to implement these plans, and they are attempting to get the pilot program off the ground "as quickly as possible," FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said.
The GAO report also cautioned the FAA about privacy concerns, and "urged the Transportation Security Administration to come up with a plan to secure operation centres for unmanned drones, recommended the government formulate privacy protections to head off 'abuses' and also pointed out safety concerns that need to be addressed regarding GPS spoofing and jamming."
Still, regardless of licensing and privacy concerns, some police departments are already flying their drones: the Seattle Police Department, for example.
But not everyone in the government is gung-ho about drones, and there is already bipartisan pushback in Washington.
More from GlobalPost: Deadlier drones are coming [Slideshow]
Both Republican Congressman Rand Paul and Democrat Ed Markey have drafted legislation for tougher regulation of civilian drones, citing a fear that the country could slide into becoming an Orwellian police state if the freewheeling use of drones is not harnessed quickly.
According to Markey's bill, the Drone Aircraft Privacy and Transparency Act of 2012, which seeks to amend the FAA law by setting up guidelines to maintain citizen privacy and promote government transparency when it comes to drone use, "it has been estimated there could be as many as 30,000 unmanned aircraft systems in the sky by 2020."
Expert forecasts estimate that the potential market for civilian and military drones will be "nearly $90 billion over the next decade, more than half of that in the US," said the AP.
Although it seems the proliferation of domestic drones can't be stopped, there are those members of Congress whose concerns about privacy will possibly impact the future of the industry in America.
"This is an evolving field and we have thousands of these things that could be deployed in the sky," said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of a House Homeland Security subcommittee. McCaul has noted his concern that there is no federal agency that's stepped up to tackle the privacy issues, which he believes is crucial, according to the Huffington Post.
"I think it's incumbent on the Department of Homeland Security to come up with a policy... Local law enforcement does need that guidance," said McCaul.

I am a nurse, but I can no longer practice my profession because I have been diagnosed with Early Stage Alzheimer's. But I can and have, become an advocate for better diagnosis of this dreaded desease.
Precise diagnosis is essential in helping Alzheimer's. Many forms of dementia seem like Alzheimers and can be cured, but Alzheimer's, does not have a cure.
The diagnostic tests are expensive, but critical in designing the best care plan for the Alzheimer's patient is to more accurately pinpoint the research to find a cure.
Congress has recognized how important Alzheimer's research is and required the creation of a National Alzheimer's plan. This plan calls for an additional $100 million for research, more precise diagnosis and better care plans.
In April, hundreds of volunteers like me, traveled to Washington, D.C. to talk with our representatives in Congress about supporting this much needed funding in this year's federal budget.
I implore everyone reading this letter to send emails, letters and make phone calls to our elected officials in support of Alzheimer's funding. Mike Thompson is our man in Congress. Ask for his support, and the support of his colleagues.
Please, today add your voice in support of an additional $100 million to fund the National Alzheimer's Plan. Just visit us at www.actionalz.org to join the movement.

Kuala Lumpur, 19 April 2012: The country's leading chain of professional eye care center, Focus Point showcased the latest Autumn/Winter 2012 luxury eye wear collection at its 'Fashion On Eye' runway show at One Utama Shopping Mall last evening.
For its Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, Chopard celebrates the combination between the refined design of glasses and high jewellery creations of the Swiss Maison. Inspired by the exclusive details of the IMPERIALE watch collection, the 2012 eye wear collection focuses on a feminine, elegant, modern and timeless collection where elegance is conveyed by the combination between simplicity and exclusivity. The fine curved DAUPHINE hands typical of Chopard's Imperiale watches are reproduced in the form of ornaments on the temples.
Autumn/Winter 2012 eye wear line by Ermenegildo Zegna, is the result of a design that enhances clean and essential lines. Classic aviator shapes prevail in metal models alongside retro-inspired acetates, exclusive materials are expertly integrated, variants of polarized lenses and the vibrant colors are the emphases of the new collection. Inspiration for this Zegna collection is driven by its 100-year history of cuuture and male luxury, of passion for exclusive materials and very high quality, of constant commitment to innovation. These distinguishing features of Ermenegildo Zegna are found in the brand's 2012 eye wear collection.
The Loewe 2012 optical collection is entirely inspired by the Loewe world presented in men and women eye wear. The anagram logo is interpreted on the temples in many different ways: as a small metal detail, enameled and integrated in a small plaque, or even in a more convex version, inserted as a 3D detail: while the iconic padlock is widely used to create refined inlays. On the other hand, the 2012 sunglasses collection emphasizes the idea of a sober and contemporary range of sunglasses. The frames revisit the principles of style and functionality through classic and timelessly elegant styles, reinterpreting the distinguishing features of the brand such as leather and Loewe's noble and discreet logo.
Equally exciting was the Tom Ford Autumn/Winter 2012 eye wear collection which highlighted by the launch of a Special Edition Optical Collection, emphasizing on unique design and color tone of its optical frames. A pure representation of luxury, quality and class, the Special Edition Optical Collection exhibits Tom Ford's superb craftsmanship with outstanding workmanship and special attention to details in the designs.
"Following the success in bringing in Swarovski's first optical range, we are proud to be the first to present Swarovski's second collection in Malaysia. Extraordinary designs coupled with the excellent craftsmanship of Marcolin, Swarovski's new collection are must-have accessories that exude femininity and elegance," said Kim Ng. The dazzling collection bears Swarovski's famous faceting, the iconic Swanflower motif adorns lenses and the richness of the color palette. 'Be You', the spearhead of this second collection perfectly exemplifies these traits with an 80's twist.
Inspired by the iconic elements of the brand itself: Roberto Cavalli's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection combines distinguished elements of animal prints, snake prints and denim with a touch of elegance and modernity. The prints are back and well translated through the Cavalli designs that gives rise to extra-sensual women expressions. Feminine, sensual, sophisticated and modern – these are the elements of the woman who inspires the new eye wear collection by Roberto Cavalli.

Area of solids
Finding area of rectangular solids and cylinders by cutting them into flat pieces and adding the areas.
A lesson plan for grades 7–12 Mathematics
Learning outcomes
Students will:
- learn the concepts of lateral area and total surface area as applied to rectangular solids and cylinders, and how mathematical formulas for surface areas of solids relate to these concepts.
- discuss application of these concepts and formulas in real life.
Teacher planning
Time required for lesson
1.5 hours
- Twelve pack box of soft drink cans
- Measuring device(ruler or tape measure)
- Graph paper or plastic graph sheet (can be purchased at Wal-Mart; about the size of a placemat)
Technology resources
Formulas for area of a rectangle and circle.
- Students gently tear open the carton surrounding the cans, opening all the seams until the cardboard will lie flat.
- Students measure the carton one piece at a time, recording the dimensions of each piece.
- Students transfer the measurements to the graph paper and count the units on the graph paper, then find the total area of the solid by using individual area formulas for rectangle, square, circle, etc.
- Students use established formulas for surface area and lateral area of solids to find the area of the carton another way.
- Students compare the answers obtained by the two different methods.
- Students compare answers with each other.
- Repeat the same procedure for the soft-drink cylinders (as an alternative, use a cardboard cylindrical container, such as an oatmeal container).
- Let the students figure out the amount of cardboard and/or aluminum needed and the approximate cost of producing the containers (you can assume a per-square-foot cost of each material, or have curious students research this on the internet or by contacting soft-drink companies). Discuss how this affects the cost of the drinks.
Students must turn in their graphs and worksheets showing the formula problems. Also, one student from their group would make an oral presentation.

Hello and thank yo for listening to my new album. This is going to be a two part album project (It's already finished but it took up too much memory to put up on jamendo as one album) that is full of some of my oldest and unreleased music, while having my new stuff on here too. Consider it a collaboration of where I've been and where I'm going. The first album has mostly my more experimental or inspirational pieces. It's also full of a lot of trip hop kind of stuff. It's has an interesting sound to it. I hope you enjoy it!
