The humanities are comprised of academic disciplines that study the human experience from the perspective of people everywhere in the world, during every period of history.
More than 350 million people in 22 nations speak Arabic. Understanding the language, culture, history, economics, and roles in the global community can be a vital 21st-century skill.
The Multimedia Language Lab is open 24/7. It's designed not only for individualized instruction but also for group work and small seminars that use a variety of digital materials for class discussion.
The study of classics entails an education in the languages, literature, history and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. It encompasses all that is best in a liberal arts education.
Each year, through the Beck Series for Visiting Writers, students have a special opportunity to meet and work one-on-one with such writers as Andrea Barrett, W.S. Merwin, Tobias Wolff and many more.
Students in Denison's Intensive French Program in Martinique spend four weeks exploring contemporary society on this Caribbean island, whose history was shaped by France's colonial policies and politics.
Thanks to the Patty Foresman Fund, the Department of Modern Languages can provide its students with exceptional experiences usually available only through study abroad programs.
Are you brand new to the study of Japanese? Beginning courses concentrate on correct pronunciation, an active vocabulary of 500-1000 words, and basic grammatical patterns.
Faculty in the Department of Modern Languages incorporate many technological resources. There are three important electron spaces that we use frequently: the Foresman Lounge, the Multimedia Language Learning Center, and Higley 028.
Learn about the typical career areas and the types of employers that hire people with a foreign language major.
Each semester a series of Philosophy Coffees is held, with informal discussions among students and professors, centering on a different question or issue each time.
The Language and Culture House is an exciting residential option that gives second-, third-, and fourth-year students a special environment where they can hone their language skills and participate in special cultural events.
The Goodspeed Lectureship enables the Religion Department—often in conjunction with other departments and programs—to bring to Denison scholars related to Religious Studies, to deliver an all-campus lecture.
Students may study in a pre-approved summer program that is at least six weeks long and 45 hours minimum. One course will transfer towards a major/minor from summer study.

Detecting Breast Cancer with New 3-D Imaging Technology: Tomosynthesis
Learn how tomosynthesis works
Digital tomosynthesis, or 3-D breast imaging, is recommended for women getting their first mammogram, for those whose previous test results weren't clear, and for those whose breasts are considered radiographically dense.
Using a series of low-dose x-rays through an arc of motion, the test builds a 3-D image of the breast, one layer at a time, much like a CAT scan. It may be possible to detect much smaller abnormalities and see around and under tissue that traditional mammograms sometimes cannot.
How 3-D breast imaging helped one woman
In late in the winter of 2012, on the eve of undergoing a partial mastectomy of her right breast, Linda Burroughs received a phone call from her radiologist at Dartmouth- Hitchcock Medical Center, Steven Poplack, MD.
"He asked if I would be willing to join a study and have tomosynthesis—the very latest in breast-imaging technology," Burroughs recalls.
"He told me, 'We have this new machine. It's 3-D.' I'd been having mammograms all my life, and I didn't know they were 2-D. But I said, 'Sign me up: I'm there.'"
As the 47th subject among 50 in the this clinical trial, Burroughs was joining the study relatively late...and just in time: The Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) imaging detected an abnormality in the left breast, and after an MRI biopsy confirmed the presence of more cancer, D-H surgeon Kari Rosenkranz, MD, performed partial mastectomies on both.
Four days later, Burroughs was joining friends on a long-planned trip to Washington, DC. Following precautionary radiation treatments, she is now enjoying time with her husband at a family camp on Mascoma Lake in Enfield, NH-and a future that, for now, appears cancer-free.
"It's been an astonishing experience," Burroughs said. "This shows what it means to diagnose a person, to be able to learn so much more and be able to give you the right answers."
Understanding the true benefits of tomosynthesis
Poplack is quick to point out, after nearly a decade of research into the technology, that much study remains to be done on how many women tomosynthesis can and will help, and how it will help them. For example, while in Burroughs' case DBT detected an abnormality, it helped spare other subjects of the study the anxiety of receiving wrong first diagnoses.
"Things are no longer hidden," says Poplack, codirector of breast imaging at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. "On a mammogram, the tissue can stack up to look like cancer and fool us into thinking there is a problem when there really isn't."
"It's really a double benefit. It allows us to detect what we otherwise wouldn't see, and not go down the path of a false alarm."
Team science brings new hope to life
Poplack's team in radiology has been collaborating with researchers from the Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the Thayer School of Engineering since 1999 to compare tomosynthesis with other forms of breast-cancer detection. To produce the 3-D images, a tube revolves around the breast in short arcs while sending out multiple x-rays in low doses. Radiologists then reconstruct the data gathered in a way that allows viewing of particular areas in thin layers of tissue.
While tomosynthesis exposes the patient to slightly more radiation than a conventional mammogram, the difference over time is "negligible," Poplack says-roughly equivalent to the amount to which one would be exposed on an airline flight from the east coast to Europe.
Leading the way in earlier cancer detection
Dartmouth-Hitchcock was among the first institutions in the United States to do research on the technology, Poplack says, and it's one of five institutions that contributed data that led to approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration.
Nearing the end of phase II of the current clinical trial—under the financial support of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)—our researchers are analyzing data they gathered from Burroughs and the 49 other patients, comparing tomosynthesis with Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CEMRI). Poplack expects to share what they've learned with his peers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in late November.
"We hope to publish the results in full soon thereafter," Poplack says, adding that "we have our fingers crossed" for receiving additional NCI funding for continued research.
When new knowledge makes a difference for study participants
While the researchers continue to fine-tune the technology and strive to understand its benefits, patients like Linda Burroughs are helping to spread the word about the promise of tomosynthesis for women with dense breast tissue, as well as the care that women can expect from clinicians and researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.
"Another year [without detection of cancer in her left breast] could have been too late for me," says Burroughs, a former fundraiser for New Hampshire Public Television. "It's about the technology, but it's about the people, too.

WHEELING - Youth service agencies have been providing assistance to the Upper Ohio Valley's children and teens for many years.
In Wheeling, the Children's Home of Wheeling and St. John's Home for Children, Crittenton Services for girls, and YSS offer "Level 2" treatment services for both boys and girls.
Over its 142-year history, the population served at The Children's Home of Wheeling has seen many changes. Since the late 1970's the facility has specialized in residential treatment for males and most recently in care for male youth ages 12-18. Residential capacity is currently 14.

Children's Home of Wheeling Education Coordinator Selina Sberna and Residential Service Director Joseph Platt review student records in her office at the facility.
Louise Paree, executive director, said, "It is our mission to provide shelter and treatment as well as quality of life programming that is not paid for through state funding. With donor support, we are able to offer an art program, music instruction, educational support, substance about prevention and counseling. A character building summer program is now in the development stages."
"All of the youth we serve at The Children's Home of Wheeling are court-ordered into residential treatment.
"They come from different backgrounds, from throughout the state of West Virginia. Most of their emotional and behavioral challenges stem from abuse, neglect or a lack of parental guidance. Truancy and substance abuse are growing problems."
Joe Platt, residential service director for The Children's Home, added, "The residential program at The Children's Home of Wheeling is extremely structured and individualized. We provide room/board, clinical evaluation, case management, service planning, behavior management, basic living skills training, psychological consultation, individual and group therapy, nursing and community resources for medical and dental needs. In addition, advocacy services, job preparation and spiritual development opportunities are available. All of the youth served attend school."
The Children's Home has a gymnasium with a climbing wall and a Snoezelen multi-sensory therapy room that engages all of the senses to relax and open communication.
Paree added, "Our focus is to provide quality residential treatment and quality of life programming that enriches the lives of our youth so that they can move beyond their past to live healthy adult lives."
At Crittenton Services, Stacy Rich, director of marketing and development, said things continue to move forward in treatment, utilizing many tools to ensure that West Virginia children and families are receiving the best in behavioral health treatment.
Last fall Kathy Szafran, President and chief executive officer of Crittenton, spoke at a briefing held by the National Crittenton Foundation at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Her topic, "From Adverse Childhood Experiences to Success for Young Mother-Led Families," highlighted and discussed the results of a survey conducted by all Crittenton agencies nationwide and the impact those results can have on the assessment and treatment of children and families everywhere.
The Adverse Childhood Experiences study looked at the impact adverse childhood experiences and trauma has on long-term physical, emotional and social well-being. The Crittenton family of agencies used the survey to help identify the clients' trauma history and define the population of those served by Crittenton.
"The surveys show us the true severity of the trauma and violence many of our clients have experienced in their young lives. Utilizing the ACE survey will allow us to better define the population we serve and offer the best trauma-informed treatment possible to help them heal and prevent future long-term illnesses," she said.
Crittenton's residential program is a behavioral health residential facility for girls ages 12-18 in West Virginia, offering the only licensed maternity care treatment facility in the state. Crittenton also serves young women who aren't pregnant or parenting. The girls in treatment at Crittenton are victims of abuse, neglect, sexual assault, some of whom are battling drug addiction, depression and a variety of other challenges.
Crittenton also operates Wellspring Family Services, an outpatient counseling service available in 18 counties, with offices in Wheeling, Weirton, New Martinsville, Parkersburg and Morgantown. Wellspring Family Services is currently serving more than 500 children, families and individuals.
At St. John's Home for Children, Terry McCormick, executive director, explained his agency deals with troubled boys between the ages of 8 and 14. The average age is 10.
"We opened our new building two years ago and went from eight beds to 12 beds. Since then we have seen referrals increase by nearly 45 percent. We've been operating at 98 percent of our capacity rate because the need is so great. We are almost always full. We take kids that are having hard times at school, bring them here and they make progress. To see kids shine and actually have smiles on their faces, that's progress, instead of walking around angry, that's progress."
He continued, "The vast majority of our kids continue to come from the Northern Panhandle. The average length of stay continues to be about 10-10 1/2 months. We are working with our sister agencies, and the state, in a program called Quality Care is in our own Backyard. It is an effort to keep West Virginia kids in West Virginia instead of shipping them out of state. There are economic reasons for that plus it makes it easier for the kids to see their families."
Youth System Services also offers a wide range of services for youth, ages 2 to 21. It operates the only two emergency youth shelters in the Northern Panhandle, the Helinski Shelter in Moundsville and the Samaritan House in Wheeling where YSS was started. These two facilities provided services to 192 youth last year.
In addition to community, school, and home-based services it has the Tuel Transitional Training Center in New Martinsville, where young adults between 18 and 21 learn skills for independent living, continue their education, and learn work skills needed for gainful employment. Other job training and employment programs are also offered along with a transitional living program.
Mike Toothman of YSS said, "Our goal is to give kids the tools to grow up. We're very concerned about reaching kids early if they need help."

WHEELING - The region's three House of Representatives members - all Republicans - would have supported House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" to avoid the nation's "fiscal cliff."
Boehner abandoned his plan last week after acknowledging he did not have the votes to get it passed.
Reps. David McKinley, R-Wheeling, and Shelley Moore Capito, R-Charleston, and Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, Ohio, said they would have voted for the legislation, with McKinley noting his support would have been "reluctant."
Plan B called for raising taxes on those making more than $1 million, keeping the Bush tax cuts in effect for about 99 percent of Americans, McKinley said.
The $1 million threshold was actually suggested by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, McKinley noted.
The White House didn't support it because it didn't generate enough revenue to help the national debt, and many House Republicans balked at it because no spending cuts were included, he added.
McKinley said Plan B also would have retained the tax cuts for 940,000 small businesses that would have been affected under a $250,000 proposal put forth by President Obama.
"But I didn't like it," McKinley said of Plan B. "I wanted to see the spending cuts as much as" other fiscal conservatives.
"The meltdown ... that's how they're referring to it around here ... is obviously pretty disappointing for all of us," McKinley said. "There is one more play in this chess game they do in Washington, and that is to engage the Senate.
"It's very frustrating for all of us that the Senate has failed to participate in any of this. I don't know if the American public fully grasps what has taken place."
In August - nearly six months ago - the House passed an extension for all the Bush tax cuts to avoid a fiscal cliff, McKinley said, but the Senate never addressed that legislation. Instead, the Senate passed its own bill that eliminated the tax cuts for those making more than $250,000. McKinley said the move was actually unconstitutional, as no legislation pertaining to taxation can originate in the Senate.
"The reality is the only provision the Senate could have done was to take the House bill we sent them in August, amend it and send it back - but they didn't. I don't think the Senate really wanted to participate in this, but they made a political statement by passing their own bill.
"We don't understand why (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid has taken the position he has. But now he is going to be engaged."
The House also has passed legislation to avoid the across-the-board automatic spending cuts in the federal budget set to take place next year, McKinley said. The measure specifically listed the amount of spending reduction that would occur in each area.
"That met the same fate," he said. "Nothing happened with it."
McKinley said if the American economy goes over the fiscal cliff, it won't be an immediate drop. There would instead be a gradual increase in taxation and spending cuts. If Congress returns this week after Christmas and fails to take action before the end of the year, legislation pertaining to spending and taxation could be passed early in 2013 and made retroactive to the start of the year, he said.
"It's now in the hands of Harry Reid, and how Harry Reid is going to respond to this," McKinley said. "He has a host of options."
Reid can take up the House bill that retains the tax breaks for all but those earning $1 million annually, McKinley said. The Senate also could amend the bill and send it back to the House - either returning it to the president's $250,000 level or even setting it at some amount in between. The House bill pertaining to spending cuts also remains in the Senate, he said.
"We've given them two vehicles," McKinley said. "I hope they can work with them."

Which sentence is correct? What is the rule for using consecutive adjectives in English?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
There is a degree of flexibility in the ordering of adjectives, but a frequent order is this, given in 'An A-Z of English Grammar and Usage' by Leech and others:
Cute expresses objective feeling towards the kitten, so would come first according to that schema. Little clearly expresses size and would come second. Abandoned classifies the kitten, and so can be considered defining and would be last. This analysis produces the sentence that Flexo has provided.
I wouldn't use either of those options. I would say:
I'm not sure why, that's just my intuition.
As other answers have testified, the ordering of adverbs and adjectives in English is much down to personal taste. My favoured order would be "abandoned cute little kitten" because it lets you tie "cute little kitten" together (which is probably what you want), and then tagging that whole description with "abandoned".


text: All of those experiences -- the high-art chic, the showbiz, the forceful physicality of Russian ballet and the broken lines and fragmentation that Picasso and Stravinsky were exploring -- surface in Balanchine's work. The bulk of his ballets are abstract, musically driven "pure dance." Even his few narrative pieces are little concerned with reality. Most of his works evoke a cool, purified, distant universe. And always, refinement: He loved tutus and tiaras ("Theme and Variations," 1947), showgirl legs on untouchable goddesses ("Concerto Barocco," 1941) and bracing simplicity. His ballets costumed only in leotards and tights ("Agon," 1957) had the angular, dramatic shock of a Mies van der Rohe house.

I see some use of a slightly modiffied variant of te actual pole series, say W line, able to accomodate wires inside, usb or other kind.
I can see some way to have that in place by, say, a cilindric rotator and base, upper aluminium part in top to have lateral holes for wires, the lower part of the upper part to be removable, i.e. to have only the tubes inside.
There can be 4.5 m usb cable and even more length with an active usb repeater, tested myself.
That can extend area of interes for poles to a wider area of customers like users of video cameras, and ofcourse for the photographers to benefit of live view through usb.
A wired moror drived simple tilt head can be designed if not already exist by third part if not Fanotec.
Not know how to describe this in English, but at the base we can have the kind of device wihch pulls in the cable when the pole is not extended.

We live in a world where almost all macroscopic physical phenomena are non-linear, while the description of microscopic phenomena is based on quantum mechanics which is linear by definition. What are the physics points of connection between the two descriptions?
Linear in the quantum mechanics has nothing to do with its complexity. A two-state spin can be described by a simple 2-by-2 matrix; however, 30 interacting spin, in general, must be described by a 1 billion by 1 billion matrix. It grows exponentially as the number of spins increases, for $10^{23}$ spin, you may need a matrix of size $2^{10^{23}}$. It is not easy to understand and not simple in most sense. If you learn some statistical mechanics, you will know that this number is large enough to have new emergent phenomenon.
There is an all too common misconception that because the Schrodinger equation is linear, non-linear phenomena (like chaos) are only classical. The wavefunction does obey a linear equation, the Schrodinger equation, but it is not directly related to observable physics. Observables quantities, like expectation values of operators, obey non-linear equations. In fact, many times the same equations as their classical counterparts, with small corrections.
Assuming you mean "linear" in the mathematical sense of "the sum of two solutions to the relevant equation is also a solution," there's no particular reason why macroscopic objects are inherently non-linear. In fact, there is a large body of work in the quantum foundations community on ways to have macroscopic objects behave in a linear manner but look non-linear. That's the whole point of things like the Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the research into decoherence by people like W. Zurek. There may be a scale above which it is impractical to see superposition states, but that doesn't mean that they can't exist.
If that's not what you mean, then I don't know how to answer you.
There is other "domain of linearity"; $\ddot{x}=-x$ is a linear equation with solutions nonlinear in time.
Mean field dynamics, describing the effective evolution of a particle in a system with a very large number of particles, is non-linear, even if the quantum dynamics is linear. Convergence towards mean field dynamics has been rigorously proved for quantum systems of many particles (and even quantum fields), and is nowadays a thoroughly studied subject in mathematical physics. In this sense there are solid foundations on the connection between the linear quantum dynamics and the nonlinear effective evolution of macroscopic systems.
The idea is that time-evolved reduced density matrices of the quantum system converge, in the limit $N\to\infty$, to the projector on the solution of mean field nonlinear equations (at least for some particular quantum states, e.g. coherent states, with general states the picture gets more complicated, but the nonlinear dynamics governs the evolution in the limit).

What does the Anglican church require from potential ordination candidates as far as education and background? In particular, how would they handle a candidate from a different Protestant background who came along seeking to be ordained? Obviously I would expect the candidate is expected to agree with some statement of faith covering key doctrinal distinctions, but would they also be required to undergo education in an Anglican institution? Are there set timelines for such proceedings?

Funny you should ask.
I was ordained in the Baptist church, but I've really come to believe that I personally needed to Bette connected to an ancient church, so within the last month, I have begun that process.
Here in the Diocese of Virginia (TEC), ordination candidates with an M. Div. are required to take approx. 1 years addtl training before being made a deacon, then usually a few more months before being made a priest.
If you're going straight in, the process is:
In the Church of England the process is described in detail on this website.
Candidates for the priesthood are selected by a discernment process. This will involve your priest and your bishop among others. The process is going to be a relatively long process, and usually involve a Selection Conference, where the candidate spends a weekend with other candidates and a 'selection committee'. There is no minimum education standard as such, but the site says "The job is intellectually demanding, and the academic side of your calling is just as important as any other. In principle, ordained ministry is a graduate profession.". In other words the training is 'degree level' and you will need to be able to cope with that.
After selection you will get training. "Training usually lasts two or three years, depending on your previous academic training and age. It can be full-time and residential, part-time and non-residential, or a mixture of the two". The church pays for this training if necessary. At the end you will be ordained, and then spend some years being mentored by an experienced priest before being given a parish of your own.
There are no problems with having a background in a different denomination. From the website: "it will be normal for any candidate to be confirmed, or welcomed into the Church of England from another Church, before she or he is ordained.".

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
After crushing Japanese naval power in the Pacific at Leyte Gulf, the U.S. moved to liberate the Philippines. Admiral Morison describes a series of amphibious operations and carrier actions supporting those operations and explains the countermeasures taken against the kamikazes, along with Admiral Halsey's famous Task Force 38 in the South China Sea and the deadly typhoon of 18 December 1944. Additional chapters tell the story of the assaults on Borneo, submarine operations in the southwest Pacific in 1945, and Capt. Milton Miles's last naval battle of the war with sailing junks.
Samuel Eliot Morison taught history at Harvard from 1915 to 1955, except for active duty service in the Navy on board eleven different ships in all theaters of the war. In addition to this series, Rear Admiral Morison wrote many other popular and award-winning books on maritime history, including Two Ocean War. Morison, who died in 1976, was the recipient of two Pulitzer Prizes, two Bancroft Prizes, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

WACO (January 5, 2012)--A group of six McLennan County residents began a 12-week challenge to loose weight and get fit today.
The Live Well Waco's 'New Year New You Wellness Journey' will teach participants how to eat healthy and exercise.
"We had about 30 applicants and we were able to narrow it down to the six, the super six as we call them," Tiffani Johnson with Live Well Waco said.
Those who were chosen met their trainers today at Richland Mall in Waco.
Participant Derek Anderson said he hopes to loose 100 pounds.
"I want a total new lifestyle, a total makeover from head to toe," Anderson said.
Anderson is a veteran and a single father of five daughters.
"I became Mr. Mom and when I did that, the weight came," Anderson said.
Anderson said Live Well Waco is dedicated to improving the quality of life for McLennan County residents.
Participants will also blog about their journey during the 12-week program.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Theodore Roosevelt's Naval Diplomacy examines President Roosevelt's use of U.S. naval seapower to advance his diplomatic efforts to facilitate the emergence of the United States as a great power at the dawn of the twentieth century. Based on extensive research, the author introduces a wealth of new material to document the development of Roosevelt's philosophy with regard to naval power and his implementation of this strategy. The book relates Roosevelt's use of the Navy and Marine Corps to advance American interests during the historically controversial Venezuelan Crisis (1902–03), Panama's independence movement (1903), the Morocco-Perciaris Incident (1904), and the choice of a navy yard as the site for the negotiations that ended the Russo-Japanese War. The voyage of the Great White Fleet and Roosevelt's actions to technologically transform the American Navy are also covered. In the end, the book details how Roosevelt's actions combined to thrust the United States forward onto the world's stage as a major player and cemented his place in American history as a great president despite the fact that he did not serve during a time of war or major domestic disturbance.
"CDR Henry J. Hendrix hails from Indiana, far from saltwater. Yet, one would be hard pressed to find an author better qualified by combination of education and experience to write on the maritime dimension of national security. He holds advanced degrees from the Naval Postgraduate School, Harvard, and King's College in the United Kingdom. His thesis at the first was on Japanese militarism, and he is widely published, especially in the Naval Institute's Proceedings. He commanded a tactical air control squadron and deployed at sea five times, once aboard the nuclear carrier Theodore Roosevelt. Hendrix is an authority on naval affairs and diplomatic history, and his prose is a joy to read.
Thus, for the modern reader, Hendrix's book offers a case study about the flexible combination of diplomacy and the measured use of military force to achieve national objectives at minimal cost. It is hard to argue against Hendrix's notion that Roosevelt and Jefferson were the only two presidents to achieve a special greatness without wartime leadership or grave domestic crisis—and both are on Mount Rushmore along with Lincoln and Washington. He might also have argued that both came closer to being "A Man for All Seasons" than any of the others. You should give Theodore Roosevelt's Naval Diplomacy a high place on your reading list."
— Air Force Research Institute
"…Impressive account that will delight any navalist with its stress on the value of naval force as an appropriate means of graduated response…. this is a fine book."

There are several questions similar to this one but after reading those, I am still very confused.
I also did a similar problem of this one and I think I got it, but then I got stuck again.
So if four dice are rolled, the chance of getting three of a kind is: $ \binom{6}{1} \frac{1}{6}* \binom{5}{1} \frac{1}{6}*\binom{4}{1} \frac{1}{6} *\frac{1}{6}$
so if seven dice are rolled, in my understanding, the chance of getting three of a kind and four of another would be: $ \binom{7}{1} \frac{1}{6}*\binom{6}{1} \frac{1}{6}*\binom{5}{1} \frac{1}{6} *\binom{4}{1} \frac{1}{6} *\binom{3}{1} \frac{1}{6} *\binom{2}{1} \frac{1}{6} *\binom{1}{1} \frac{1}{6} $ however, the answer in the book is $ \frac{6 *5*\binom{7}{4} }{6^7} $ and I am totally lost. Please help!
additional problems The answers you guys gave kind of make sense to me but they also make me very confused. can I think of it using the way I did above? for example, another part of the questions asked about the chance of getting two fours, two fives and three sixes. I think of it as: $ \binom{7}{2} \frac{1}{6}^2*\binom{5}{2} \frac{1}{6}^2*\binom{3}{3} \frac{1}{6}^3 $ which matches the solution in the book.

I have a long reach and was wondering what the optimal position is for my grip during bench press. From finger-tip to fingertip I measure 6'6". I currently bench with my ring finger lined up on the band. Wondering if that is too wide or if I can safely get away with a wider grip.

In Starting Strength, a well-known book on barbell training, Mark Rippetoe says (emphasis mine):
Ideally, your spotter should tell you if your forearms are in a correct position when down; if that is not possible, then use whatever feels comfortable to you (but between 22 and 28 inches). Don't use a too wide grip if your goal is strength: the shortened range of motion is sub-optimal.

Is there continuing growth in Christianity around the world or has it stalled/declined? I'm interested in worldwide stats rather than for individual countries.
Sign up

The numbers appear to be inconclusive, at least according to this site.
It appears the number of Christians is growing, but in terms of percentage of population, some studies show a slight growth, while others show a slight decline. Of course the various studies are over different time periods, so it's impossible, with the given data, to draw any conclusive results.
Wikipedia estimates the 2007 growth rate of Christianity at 1.38%, which appears to be within the range of the various studies cited above.
The answer to this question really depends on how you measure the growth. One way to do so would be to measure the languages to which Christianity is becoming available. Bible translation is probably a lagging indicator, as missionaries often precede the work of translation.
According to Wycliffe Translation Statistics, the number of people win the world who speak languages where no translation work has been either begun or completed is 340 million (slightly more than the population of the United States). This is 5% of the World's population.
So, Christianity is, indeed, continuing to spread across more and more language groups. This is a fulfillment of the prophecies in the book of Revelation that spoke of people from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
I can't find where I saw estimates of when the last language would get a Bible translation, but it's quite feasible to reach that goal in the next hundred years, maybe even 50.
This is directly copied from a Pew Forum Survey under the title "Religious Affiliation":
Based on this information, as well as the other graphs and questions in that survey, I would venture to say that Christianity is not growing, but rather declining. Of course, for every survey that says it's declining, there is probably one that says it's growing...

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -Dornwood park has experienced some rough times over the years but a recent rejuvenation from volunteer workers and the county has put some life back into the park.
The ballfields in particular are beginning to see some of those efforts paying off.
A year ago thieves took all the excitement of night time baseball away from the young ball players at dornwood park when they stole the expensive copper wiring that operated the ballfields lights and scoreboard.
With the help of the newly formed Shawnee County Parks and rec fitting the fields with aluminum wiring that is able to be funneled underground and more secure.
Fans and ball players at Dornwood can play under the lights once again and it hasn't taken long for users to notice the benefits...
Catcher the "Da Bears" Gareth Wendt says, "It's great becaue now we can play night games and we don't have to get up early and play games, it's cooler and easier to see when i'm catching."
Teammate Trevor Schattilly says, "With better lights we can see at night instead of playing in the dark when you can't see at all."
Sponsor and coach Jim Parrish sees the positivity from the new lights as well, saying "It helps with excitement now that people see we are willing to put money back into the park. Before, it hurt us with recruitment but now that they see what is going on they are paying more of an interest."
The shawnee county parks and rec put in a little over 50 thousand for the lights and scoreboards which the kids are extremely greatfull for.

On the Shabbosim before Rosh Chodesh we "Bench" the new month between Shacharis and Mussaf (like here).
Why do we do this? What's the source for it?
On the Shabbosim before Rosh Chodesh we "Bench" the new month between Shacharis and Mussaf (like here).
Why do we do this? What's the source for it?
The earliest source seems to be Machzor Vitry (by Rabbeinu Simcha of Vitry, one of Rashi's disciples), sec. 190. He states that this is done so that:
Aside from this, I've also seen a statement by the Rogatchover Gaon (cited here), that it is in memory of the formal declaration of Rosh Chodesh by the Sanhedrin.
A really intriguing answer is brought in the Aruch Hasulchan (417:6-9) That it is based on a Yerushalmi in Sanhedrin 5:3 Where it brings a case where 2 people came to testify about a crime and one says it was the Second day of the Month another says it was the third and we cant disprove their testimony because maybe one knew that the Month had an extra day and the second did not, there Reb Yosa says "like me when once I did not say Mussaf. I did not know when Rosh Chodesh was".This could be construed to mean he missed it because he did not Daven Mussaf the Shabbos before in shul so that's why he missed Rosh Chodesh Because he missed Rosh Chodesh bentching and Hence Mussaf thereafter a semi proof for our Minhag of saying it a shabbos before. More of what was said earlier cant be found in the Levush in Siman 481 says "The custom is to bless every new month on the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh so the Matter is Publicized and everyone knows on what day Rosh chodesh will be". That is since there are more people in shul on Shabbos it is the optimal time.

How do Karaites pray? If the text of the Amidah originated in the mishnaic period, do Karaites recognize it? If not, what do they daven?

I am a Karaite Jew, born and raised in an Egyptian Karaite Jewish family. I attend Congregation B'nai Israel, the only Karaite synagogue in the United States. I co-authored a primer on Karaite Judaism (As it is Written) and I run a blog on Karaite Judaism (ABlueThread.com). I consider myself Jewish. I consider myself Jewish before considering myself a Karaite. I have even taught Hebrew school at a conservative Rabbanite synagogue.
I bear no animosity towards Rabbanites, as you can see from my compliments to the faith and devotion of Rabbanites (see my post here). In fact, I believe that Karaites have a lot to learn from Rabbanites.
I think there are some great answers to this question, but to confirm, Karaites do not pray the Amidah. As far as what our prayers look like:
1) Karaites preserve the traditional practice of full prostration. 2) The prayer is a series of responsive readings/singing in Hebrew. 3) The service is led by a hazzan, but some portions are recited aloud by individual members of the community (even women). (Karaites don't have a prohibition against kol issha). 4) Interestingly, we have a prayer/song that is virtually identical to your Ayn K'Elohenu. But ours includes "K'Goaleinu" in addition to kelohenu, kadonenu, kemalkenu, kemoshi`enu.
I am happy to answer any questions, and I promise not to "spam" this board with Karaite topics/questions. I am only responding to some of the thoughts/comments here.
Most Karaite prayers are scriptural passages, mostly from Psalms. For example, they say Shema Yisrael every morning, without the Baruch Shem Kavod or the blessings before and after it (they also only say the one pasuk rather than the three paragraphs that we consider as the Shema).
Their existing siddurim derive from the siddur of Aaron ben Yosef, a prominent 13th century Karaite leader who composed Seder Tefillot in the late 13th century. There are clearly many imitations to Rabbinic liturgy and piyutim when the text is not scriptural, but to directly answer your question:
The Karaites do not pray the Amidah that we pray. Something most similar is what they call "whispered prayer" and that is recommended rather than obligatory. You can find that text in the siddur printed by the Crimean Karaite scholar Abraham Firkowitsch (1786-1874), digitized by Harvard University here.
This is a good video on how they pray

Chandler Hash Named NABC First-Team All-DistrictMarch 19, 2014
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Anderson University men's basketball guard Chandler Hash continues to add honors to his resume, as the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) has announced the 2014 NABC Coaches' Division II All-District teams and coaches, recognizing the best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes and coaches in the division.
Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC in NCAA Division II, these 88 student-athletes and eight coaches represent the finest basketball players and coaches across America.
Joining Hash on the first team from the Southeast District were Vincent Bailey (Lincoln Memorial), Troran Brown (Montevallo), Evrik Gary (Francis Marion), Ishmael Hollis (North Georgia) and Ronald Zimmerman (USC Aiken).
Hash, a two-time First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference selection, also earned Daktronics First-Team All-Region accolades following the regular season. The left-handed sharpshooter led the conference in scoring at 24.3 points per game and currently ranks fifth in the nation in scoring average.
His school-record 778 total points this season leads NCAA Division II and marks the second-highest single-season total in league history. The SAC Tournament MVP closed his stellar three-year career with the Black and Gold in third place on Anderson's all-time scoring list with 1,537 career points. Hash's career-high 44-point outburst in the Trojans' win over Coker in the 2014 Food Lion SAC Tournament ranks seventh in the league all-time for points scored in a single game.
The Greer, S.C. native is a two-time recipient of the Men's Basketball SAC Scholar-Athlete Award and off the court, Hash is a member of the AU Deans List and serves with numerous organizations, including Hospice House and Discipleship-Now. He has also given time as an elementary school speaker, youth clinic volunteer, church clothing drive organizer and an Anderson freshmen orientation leader. He was earlier named Capital One Second-Team Academic All-America.

About the National Association of Basketball Coaches
Located in Kansas City, MO, the NABC was founded in 1927 by Forrest "Phog" Allen, the legendary basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Allen, a student of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this collective group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently has nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college men's basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service and education.

POB Giselle 2006-7 Season
Posted 20 November 2006 - 10:24 AM
Actually it makes me wonder why the POB hadn't scheduled more performances "Giselle", as the tickets have been sold out so quickly...
Posted 20 November 2006 - 10:32 AM
It is indeed a shame that only people who are aware of that (mostly regular ballet goers) are able to get tickets in advance... If the POB doesn't want to make a run last for too long, and it's understandable, given how tiring it must be for the dancers, they should do two runs of the same ballet in the season as they used to (split between December and late January/February for instance).
Posted 20 November 2006 - 10:35 AM
Posted 20 November 2006 - 11:01 AM
Not a mystery to me Estelle, the Parisian public is fairly starved of classical works at the POB these days. They probably go crazy when they see Giselle scheduled.
Yes probably... The other performance in the same period is "Coppélia", but it is not Patrice Bart's recent production, not a traditional production (and the next full-length classics this season will be Nureyev's production of "Don Quixote" in February-March and "Cinderella" in April-May). All that makes me think once again about the logic of the programming at the POB, with so many modern works And also, for example, it seems to me that "The Nutcracker" hasn't been performed for years (in France it doesn't have the same status as in the US for example, however I think it would surely attract quite a lot of audience, especially in the holiday season).
Posted 06 December 2006 - 12:59 PM
There's one new injured dancer every day, it seems, and we haven't even got to the opening nights of Giselle and Coppélia - wonder how the company will manage to survive until January !
Posted 06 December 2006 - 02:14 PM
Do you have any idea why this happens? Should the company be performing at both theatres simultaneously? I realize that with 150 dancers the POB has the numbers to perform at two opera houses at the same time, but it does seem to run out of soloists along the way.

Posted 07 December 2006 - 02:31 PM
And for the soloists, I guess there can be a lot of possible explanations, but one can wonder if dancing in so many different styles in a very short time is good for their bodies ? And aren't they dancing too much ?
Posted 07 December 2006 - 04:13 PM
That would be my question as well. I don't really understand why the company would schedule two full-scale works simultaneously, especially since the promotion exams also take place in December. Theoretically, the exams shouldn't be a problem, but when injuries to the top ranks force members of the corps to assume larger roles, it becomes an issue. I see that the company has been reduced to 4 Albrechts for 18 performances of Giselle and 4 Swanildas for 17 performances of Coppelia. I suppose that ABT principals would be envious of that work load, since most of them get only 1, maybe 2 performances of a given ballet during their season at the Met, but when etoiles and premiers danseurs begin dropping like flies, there's something very wrong.
And aren't they dancing too much ?
Posted 08 December 2006 - 08:31 AM
Posted 08 December 2006 - 11:30 AM
I see that Legris has been scheduled to dance one performance after all. Thank heavens his injury is not serious.
Now Manuel Legris is injured as well, after Hilaire and Moreau.
Posted 13 December 2006 - 02:04 PM
And Johnny Hallyday is moving to Switzerland for tax reasons. (Seriously, I don't understand why producers of news programs think stories like this merit top billing.)
Posted 13 December 2006 - 03:42 PM
Well, the media always seem to spend a lot of times about any detail concerning Johnny Hallyday (a sixty-something French singer, for all the readers unfamiliar with that name- very famous in France), and perhaps even more now as he also is a bit involved in the presidential campaign as he publicly supported a candidate.
Posted 14 December 2006 - 06:02 AM
The Hurel/Ganio pairing was a real treat last weekend - they looked lovely together and they both acted their parts incredibly well. Aurélie Dupont the next day was a wonder in Act 2 - her dancing was flawless, truly ghostly - unfortunately, she has a hard time playing the peasant in Act 1, and Nicolas Le Riche is not the best partner for her...
Emmanuel Thibault and Myriam Ould Braham are close to perfection in the peasant pas de deux, warm, sunny, technically amazing (Thibault's jumps made the audience gasp) - I'm so glad they are scheduled to be on the DVD.
More to come later, I will see other casts as well, including one of the recorded performances. If anyone went, tell us what you thought ;)
Posted 15 December 2006 - 12:42 PM
I have heard Ganio express admiration for the Albrechts of Baryshnikov and Le Riche. Does his performance resemble theirs in any way? I have a difficult time imagining that it would since he doesn't resemble either one of them physically.

I haven't seen Baryshnikov's Albrecht and therefore couldn't comment... But Ganio's take on the part didn't resemble Le Riche's IMO. Matthieu Ganio has a much more restrained bearing, which fits his physical appearance, and he was very much the prince who has fallen in love unexpectedly. Le Riche always seems to be giving his all when he's on stage (not that Ganio wasn't of course, but it shows differently) - he's more of a virtuoso, and his Albrecht appears totally spontaneous, less aristocratic, but his relationship to Giselle wasn't as strongly portrayed as in the Hurel/Ganio cast. I'm looking forward to his performance with Laëtitia Pujol, as she was his original partner.
And if anyone can watch French TV, France 3 will be airing Giselle on January 1 (Pujol/Le Riche/Gillot).

Alvarez leads in first money reports
Union contributions fuel his surge
Searchable database: Follow the money in mayor's race
City Councilman David Alvarez has come out strong in the first major disclosure of money in the mayor's race, with his campaign and committees that support him raising almost one-and-a-half times that of his nearest competitor.
Contributions in support of Alvarez topped $1 million by Friday.
In second place was Qualcomm executive Nathan Fletcher, with $765,000 raised to support him. Councilman Kevin Faulconer came in third with $635,000 raised on his behalf.
The totals include candidate committees, limited to $1,000 contributions per individual, and political action committees with no such limit.
Most of the money to support Alvarez came from labor interests — $822,900 through Friday, including sizable donations from Sacramento- and Washington-based arms of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees.
"I think that these are regular San Diegans who support this message of a positive vision, and I think that's what David stands for and that's what he would deliver as mayor," said Gabriel Solmer, Alvarez's campaign manager. "I think all of the money that goes into this campaign is to bring that message and give it to the voters."
Alvarez also received $20,000 from the San Diego County Democratic Party.
A PAC to support Fletcher received $25,000 from for-profit college company Bridgepoint Education Inc., along with $10,000 each from Ace Parking, the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local Union No. 230 PAC and the Southern California Pipe Trades District Council #6.
Fletcher also received $75,000 of support from Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs and his wife, Joan, along with more than $20,000 from their family members and Qualcomm employees.
Fletcher's candidacy drew the broadest base of support, as measured by the number of contributions of $1,000 or less. Fletcher and Faulconer each reported nearly 1,200 such transactions, compared to 300 for Alvarez.
"San Diegans want a mayor who will focus on the basics and bring people together to get things done for San Diego," Fletcher's campaign said in a statement. "Nathan's broad base of support from around the city and all walks of life reflects that desire."
Faulconer has won the backing of many in the business community. His campaign donors include two former mayors, Roger Hedgecock, a conservative talk show host for U-T TV, and Jerry Sanders, who heads the chamber of commerce.
His top donors were associations representing restaurants and builders.
"Businesses like him because he understands finance really well, he understands in order for businesses to thrive you need to get out of their way and let markets run their course," spokesman Tony Manolatos said.
Former City Attorney Mike Aguirre, the fourth major candidate in the race, reported raising $3,385 through Oct. 5. He has sworn off big-money contributions.

6 Things You Won't Believe Got Banned By Modern Governments
#3. Russia Bans Emo
Like any parent, mother Russia just plain does not understand today's youth. The government was looking for a reason for the high suicide rates, depression and general gloominess predominant among teens throughout their vast, impoverished and often freezing country. It finally landed on a likely culprit: emo clothing. Hell, that has to be it, right? What else is there to be depressed about in glorious Russia?
"I've just bribed our way on to a bread queue!"
Dubbed "a threat to national stability," Russia introduced a bill to ban anyone in emo clothing from entering public schools and government buildings as if they were suicide bombers smuggling sadness bombs under their safety-pinned corsets from Hot Topic.
"You don't understand my inner pain. This corset has punctured my lungs."
So what is the tangible danger behind emo culture? Well, a hearing on Government Strategy in the Sphere of Spiritual and Ethical Education claims that emo culture is a "dangerous teen trend" that ranks right up there with being a skinhead. It encourages social withdraw and feelings of hopelessness. According to an advisor of one of the bill sponsors, "The point of the bill is so that by 2020, Moscow will have someone to rule its government."
It'll still be this guy presumably. He'd look good in eyeliner.
So the fear is that emo will eventually collapse the Russian power structure from within by wiping out a generation of future Putins. That's right: They believe that emo fashion would do what both Hitler and Napoleon could not. Although ...

All we're saying is that, he wore black, had an asymmetrical fringe
and thought nobody understood him. Come to your own conclusions.
Don't worry, Russia. The emo thing passes. Then it's the hipsters you have to worry about.
#2. China Bans Reincarnation (Without Prior Government Approval)
For Tibetan Buddhism, reincarnation is kind of a big deal because it will determine how an individual spends his entire next life. This is of particular importance for the tulkus, otherwise known as the "living Buddhas." Unlike other monks, tulkus have the distinct benefit of actually choosing how they are reborn, which, when you think about it, is really, really fucking cool. Though we suppose choosing to be born with an 11-inch dong probably disqualifies you from the position.
"Hey, I have all my inner peace right here!"
But tulkus can't just go around reincarnating willy-nilly, not anymore anyway. As of September of 2007, China banned reincarnation without express permission from the government. The State Administration for Religious Affairs calls the ban, "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation." Now, we are no experts on death and rebirth, but not only does this law seem pointless, it also seems pretty damn hard to enforce. We're pretty sure that would be the equivalent of a government regulating when and where Christ was allowed to perform his Second Coming.
"We've got yoga Wednesday and Paul's wife is having a baby next week, so this is a real dick move on your part, Jesus."
So why would the Chinese government try to legislate something so intangible and beyond the scope of a mortal control? The answer is this guy:
Via elephantjournal
He's coming back as buffalo, somebody stop him!
China is flipping out because the Dalai Lama has already begun his succession plan, and has said that he flat out refuses to be reborn in Tibet while it remains under Chinese control. And since China insists that any reincarnated living Buddha that was not approved by the government is "illegal and invalid," people are looking at the distinct possibility of two Dalai Lamas existing; one chosen by the monks, and the other by Beijing. The only way he could make it worse is if he went around telling fake stories about when he traveled through time.
Or if he just had enough of the whole mess and came back as an eagle.
#1. Australia Bans Small Breasts in Porn
Back at the beginning of 2010, the Australian Classification Board decided it needed to put an end to some of the more unsavory aspects of adult films and publications. First on their hit list was the depiction of any sort of female ejaculation. The Board felt these scenes were most decidedly deserving of a Refused Classification because it was one of two things:
Urine, and thus banned under the label of "golden showers," or;
an abhorrent depiction.
We presume all the wives of the men on the Classification Board are having affairs.
Also in the Classification Board's sights for banned content? Breasts. Or rather, the lack thereof. If you were going to have naked titties, they needed to be big titties. By order of the Australian government.
"What's that, Skippy? Big titties? Also this joke is playing on a horrible stereotype? Good boy."
The reason is that an Australian group called Kids Free 2B Kids was leading a campaign to forbid women with an A-cup breast size from appearing in pornography, claiming it encouraged pedophilia, since apparently all flat-chested women are under the legal age of consent.
Pictured: a 15-year-old boy, apparently
As a result, depictions of non-voluptuous women in their late 20s have been banned, including those in mainstream publications like Hustler. Not only that, but according to Fiona Patten of the Australian Sex Party, "It may be an unintended consequence of the Senator's actions but they are largely responsible for the sharp increase in breast size in Australian adult magazines of late."
OK -- we think we've discovered an ulterior motive here.

6 Impossible Escapes Using Impossibler Methods
As we never get tired of pointing out, when you combine desperation, perseverance, ingenuity and giant balls, wonderful things happen. This is proven by these tales of men who found themselves in hostile territory with no chance of escape ... and just fucking escaped anyway.
#6. Eugeniusz Pieniazek Builds an Airplane in His Living Room
Eugeniusz Pieniazek was an aircraft designer in Communist Poland. In the early 70s, he was persecuted by the Secret Service for palling around with Swedish pilots. One day, Pieniazek had enough and decided to escape Poland ... by secretly building his own airplane. All by himself. In his apartment.
There was no way Pieniazek was going to get a passport, so building a plane from scratch seemed like the most reasonable option for him. This was a man who worked with airplanes every day, by the way. Presumably he could have stolen one from his flying club at any moment, but didn't do so because he wasn't comfortable with the idea. Or maybe he didn't think any of them looked badass enough for him.
Via Thom R
Hell, it didn't even need flames painted down the side.
His self-made aircraft (appropriately named the "Cuckoo") was built from the discarded parts of four different gliders and planes. In lieu of a workshop, he used his 8-square-meter living room and then lowered the larger parts out through his apartment's window to assemble them on the airfield. We wonder what he told his neighbors all that time.
Via Wikipedia
"This spice rack isn't coming off like I planned."
Pieniazek hid his home made creation in plain sight -- he actually had his escape vehicle registered and even used it to train pilots until he decided it was time to make a break for it. Finally, in 1971, on a day with the worst possible weather for the trip, Pieniazek took off in the middle of a thunderhead. Polish authorities logged him as missing. That was a very real possibility, by the way: Hitting the business end of a thunderstorm can rock far larger planes, and this was basically a flying homemade soapbox car. So, besides evading subsequent Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Yugoslav radar systems, Pieniazek and his massive balls also managed to slip right past Zeus.
The plane landed in Yugoslavia, where Pieniazek was finally able to enjoy his freedom ... for a few seconds anyway, before the Yugoslavs threw him in jail for seven months. Eventually they allowed him to sneak across the Austrian border, possibly because he threatened to build a jumbo jet out of the prison they were holding him in.
From there, Pieniazek made his way into Sweden and settled there. Except there was one bit of unfinished business: Two years after his escape, he returned to Yugoslavia to retrieve his damn plane. Not only did he have to tow it back to Sweden by himself, but he was also forced to pay a dubious "parking fee" that amounted to $1,200. This was a sound investment, though, because Pieniazek was still flying the Cuckoo as recently as 2005.
#5. Lone Navy Seal Vs. The Taliban
In 2005, four Navy SEALs were in the middle of a recon mission in Afghanistan when they were discovered by three goat herders. Rather than killing them, the SEALs decided to let them go. The goat herders then repaid the SEALs' kindness by giving away their position to the Taliban, which in military terms is known as "a dick move."
The SEALs were encircled by somewhere between 50 to 200 Taliban fighters and had to decide whether to fight or surrender. After some careful consideration the leader of the patrol, Lt. Murphy, announced their decision: "Fuck surrender." During the ensuing battle, one Marcus Luttrell was knocked out by an RPG and fell down a ravine. Turns out he was the lucky one: all the other SEALs were killed.
One badass motherfucker.
His nose was broken, three vertebrae were cracked and he had been shot in the leg. Luttrell couldn't even call a rescue chopper on the radio, because that would have involved showing himself in the middle of hostile territory. Not so big on the idea of dying in a ditch, Luttrell started crawling through the mountains. At this point he was attacked by six Al Qaeda assassins, and because he was so wounded, he surrendered.
Just kidding -- he killed them all.
Via W Curtis Draper
A business suit should make him look a little more -- nope. Still badass.
Luttrell made it seven miles through the mountains and was dehydrated to the point where he was licking his own sweat. He later fell off a ridge and was discovered by Afghan villagers, who took him in and cleaned his wounds. They also protected him from the Taliban -- by some incredible strike of luck, Luttrell had fallen into the lap of a village that was bound by tribal custom to defend their visitors to the death. When word got out that the villagers were openly sheltering an American soldier, the Taliban was forced to respect the age-old custom, in the sense that they tried to bribe the villagers, beat up their kids and threatened to kill entire families.
The villagers moved Luttrell back and forth to keep him away from the Taliban, who were lurking in the mountains. And then, after six hellish days of fighting the Taliban and dragging himself through the mountains, Luttrell was rescued by American forces. When Army Rangers found him, the first thing he did was apologize for dragging them out into the cold.
Via Larry D. Moore
He then made them all some hot tea out of the bodies of his enemies.
After returning stateside, Luttrell left the Navy and wrote Lone Survivor. He now lives in Texas, where he runs the Lone Survivor Foundation. He recently appeared in a country music video -- but you know what? We're not gonna make fun of that ... he's earned it.
#4. Bernd Boettger Rides a Torpedo Across the Sea
It turns out building insane vehicles from scratch was a hugely popular method of defecting communist regimes back in the late 60s and early 70s. Take Bernd Boettger, an engineer who lived in East Germany and was not too happy about it. Boettger was an excellent swimmer, but he knew he couldn't just jump into the Baltic Sea and swim his way to freedom, because that would be nuts. So he went and built himself a machine to do it for him. Basically it was a little motor and propeller that he could hang onto while it dragged him along the surface of the water.
The first trial run in 1967 was an epic failure: A patrol boat picked up Boettger and his gadget and he was jailed for several months. He was eventually let go on because he was an indispensable professional. Indispensable professional that he was, he went right back to planning a way to escape the country instead of working. The new machine had to be quieter than the old one, pull him not above the surface but under the water and carry enough fuel for a 15-mile trip. In other words, a silent fucking long-distance torpedo.
Via AquaScooter.com
Boettger spent a year building his personal torpedo, using a motor scooter's engine, a fiberglass tank, snorkeling gadgetry and a propeller. At this point, we wonder if Stasi agents who monitored him were too stupid to know something was going on, or if they were too curious to find out what the hell he was building.
In September 1968, Boettger went into the Baltic again, diving right past the patrol boats and into the open sea. After five hours of trying not to get his nose cut off by the propeller whirring right in front of him or letting the fucking thing break away and disappear into the darkness, he reached the Danish lightship he'd set his mind on more than a year earlier.
His escape gained worldwide acclaim, ending up in such esteemed publications as Sports Illustrated and Soldier of Fortune. All this recognition ultimately led Boettger to work on a lighter, prettier commercial version of his water scooter. You might recognize the final product as the creatively named AquaScooter.

Mercurial was created on Soto and Weese, with Liang in the solo principal role. I think the parts Wheeldon has created for Whelan tend to mirror or emulate the Balanchine leotard ballets. He takes full advantage of her flexibility and angular, neoclassical approach. In his more story driven ballets, he tends to use Tiler Peck, who has great dramatic skills. (Didn't Tiler originate Carousel A Dance with Woetzel? She definitely originated Estancia, which has a narrative "plot.") I loved Tiler in Mercurial earlier this season.

A Ratmansky Ballerina? A Wheeldon Ballerina?Can it be said yet that there exists a type?

No, Ansanelli, another dancer with great imagination and flair for story-dancing. I miss her.
Didn't Tiler originate Carousel A Dance with Woetzel?
I think the point about Balanchine schooling his dancers to become what he needed was key. I also think that, especially with choreographers like Wheeldon and Ratmansky -- essentially global freelancers, even if they are Choreographer in Residence somewhere or other) -- the most important quality they look for is the ability to understand what he wants of them. Sometimes -- you know? -- people just miscommunicate with each other. Especially in the arts, where suggestions may be more poetical than specific. And further complicated if the choreographer, working in a second language, uses a word with unintended nuance.
Posted 25 December 2011 - 09:32 AM
Ratmansky ballets have deep emotional undercurrents in addition to their whimsical humor. The PdD, in Nutcracker, for example, are rapturous, and I think the ballerina who most exemplifies that aspect of Ratmansky is Veronika Part. IMHO she hasn't been given the opportunities at ABT that she deserves, and I so much hope that Ratmansky will choreograph a ballet on her the way Balanchine choreographed ballets specifically for one or another of his ballerinas over the years.
