Spring is coming and so is the Stonyfield Earth Day 5K and Earth Day Fair, a morning-long festival to celebrate running, walking, healthy food, and a healthy earth. There will be live music and a super post race celebration with a free buffet with very healthy snacks including, of course, Stonyfield products. In line with the Stonyfield "Yogurt on a Mission" programs, 10% of proceeds will be donated to charity. So get your "Moove" on, get in gear and begin your spring racing in Londonderry. And bring your friends, family and team to the free Earth Day Fair.
This is the second annual Stonyfield Earth Day 5K and you don't want to miss it! It's time to get mooving! Just about anyone can run or walk a 5K; that's right, both runners and walkers are welcomed to this event, including family and school teams. Taking place the Saturday after the Boston Marathon, and the day before actual Earth Day 2012 (the 42nd annual), this event will be a regional magnet for many. The race starts, as does the Earth Day Fair, at 10:00 a.m. at Stonyfield's Yogurt Works on Burton Drive, just south of the Boston-Manchester Regional Airport. There will be plenty of available parking.
Stonyfield is a Londonderry, New Hampshire based company and the world's leading organic yogurt maker. Stonyfield is supplied by many organic and family farms in New England. Stonyfield is known for its generous support of road racing over the years, and now they host their own race; it is also known for being one of the most environmentally responsible companies on the planet, and has been since its founding in Wilton, New Hampshire in 1983.
In addition to a great 5K run or walk on a gently rolling USATF-certified course, this will be a fun and unique day featuring fitness, food, and information on sustainable products and organizations, all on display at the Earth Day Fair. Take a look at the sponsors on the Race Website and you will have some idea of what is in store for the exhibits at the Fair. The Fair will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in front of the Stonyfield Visitor Center, adjacent to the race Start/Finish area. A kids' fun run (free entry) has been added to the festivities this year, with kids' races starting just after 11:00 a.m. Please join the celebration! The Fair is FREE and open to the public. There is plenty of free parking too, with parking shuttles as needed. Of course, car pooling is encouraged. The very impressive list of sponsors and vendors will feature:
• Wholesome, fun and tasty food samples from Stonyfield and other vendors.
• Demonstrations of eco-friendly products and approaches
• Live music throughout the morning.
• Information from sponsors and vendors on healthy foods, general health issues, and environmental topics
• Educational opportunities and experiences with a focus on sustainability and sustainable practices.
And you know what they say about the early bird. Take advantage of early online registration. If you are among the first 1,000 you can save $5; this fee is a very reasonable $20.00 with a special discounted rate for youth participants 17 and under (only $15). But don't delay because the race may sell out and you want to be sure to get one of the custom organic cotton T-shirts!—these are sure to become acclaimed memorabilia as this event will be a classic. Race day registration will be $30 ($20 for 17-and-under).www.stonyfield5k.com.
The Stonyfield Earth Day 5K is organized by LOCO Sports , the organization that now produces a number of outstanding races throughout New England. With LOCO having established a strong reputation over the past few years, participants can rest assured the race is in capable hands. From start to finish the entire weekend will be a professionally organized event.
The course is beautiful, featuring modest elevation changes and low traffic in a wide open, mostly rural area. The race starts and ends just east of the Stonyfield facilities on Burton Drive. It is a really fun and manageable course with chances to see the leaders, friends, teammates and family members as they enjoy their race along the route.
This race will introduce many runners to Londonderry, a small town with a rich history and distinctive character—apple orchards especially. Londonderry is also easy to get to, close to Interstate 93, about an hour north of Boston and only minutes south of Manchester. See excellent directions on the race website along with information on Stonyfield Farm, LOCO Running, the course (including maps), registration, ride share and parking, sponsors, the Earth Day Fair and Earth Day, and much more: www.stonyfield5k.com
Interested participants should know there will also be an opportunity for number and packet pickup and late registration (if available) in front of the Stonyfield Farm Yogurt Works from 8:00 a.m. through 9:45 a.m. But two notes of caution—this event will likely sell out so do not plan on race day sign up—do it now! And do not plan on arriving late, as inbound traffic will be shut off (the entrance drive is part of the course) well before race start at 10:00 a.m.
Computer chip B-tag timing by Yankee Timing Company will provide accurate and immediate results for all. Participants in this race will be using the B-tag system where the timing chip is woven into the bib number (must be worn on the front abdominal area and visible to be read) Bib numbers do not have to be returned; they are yours to keep!
Stonyfield Farm—"Yogurt on a Mission"
Stonyfield Farm has been in business and making a difference since 1983 with their humble beginnings on a small farm in Wilton, New Hampshire. Stonyfield's story is one of dedication and perseverance, of providing healthy food for healthy people and protecting a healthy planet. If you read Stonyfield's mission statement and the history of the company and its growth you will quickly learn that this is a very special company; one that is at the forefront of sustainable, organic agriculture and production, and one that provides the most delicious organic yogurts and smoothies on the market, taking the environment into consideration every step of the way.
Stonyfield Farm has supported running events, fitness, health and wellness from its beginning. It is no surprise they are sponsoring an Earth Day race of their own because promoting fitness and protecting the environment have long been core principles of the company. Their Profits for the Planet program has been a model for other businesses. As part of their commitment to healthy food, healthy people, and a healthy planet, they give 10% of profits to efforts that help to protect and restore the earth. To date, over $14 million has been gifted through various grants and programs.
As part of Stonyfield's "Yogurt on a Mission" philosophy, 10% of the race proceeds will go to Londonderry High School programs; specifically two programs will be recipients: The first is the EcoSense Club, whose mission is to promote, encourage, and increase awareness of Earth-friendly practices throughout the school community. Their current focus is the planning of projects that will encourage the student body to conserve and recycle. They are planning and preparing activities for the Londonderry schools and the town to celebrate Earth Week. The second award will be to a graduating senior who intends to further her or his education in the health field or environmental studies.
Please visit the Stonyfield website for information on recipes, coupons and offers, rewards, farmers who supply their organic milk, organic living, mission, history, Profits for the Planet Program, and much more: www.stonyfield.com
Earth Day, the 42nd Year
Earth Day began in 1970 and was intended as a "teach-in" at various universities and schools around the country. It was founded primarily by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin who saw it as an opportunity to provide information and incentive to overcome political inertia for his Congressional colleagues who were doing nothing to protect the environment despite enormous disasters, including the oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, California the year before. By April 22, 1970 hundreds of community groups joined more than 2,000 colleges and universities and over 10,000 primary and secondary schools for an enormously successful launch.
It is driven largely by local organizations with the overall guidance, coordination and leadership of the Earth Day Network: www.earthday.org
Today Earth Day is celebrated in more than 180 countries and is the largest secular holiday in the world and concentrates on local needs and local grass roots environmental issues, every community having different needs and processes for improvement. This race and the proceeds will benefit such a local, grassroots organization, in keeping with the 10% for the planet model of Stonyfield Farms.
Some General Information
The weather in April for New Hampshire can be unpredictable, but most likely it will be ideal for running. The race is on rain or shine. In Londonderry the average high temperature for April 21 is 59 and average low 31, with a mean temperature of 45. There will be a water stop about half way through the course. Organic cotton shirts will be given to all preregistered runners; the earlier you arrive the more likely it is you get the shirt you want. Runners or walkers with strollers may participate—it is a family friendly event—but they are asked to start in the rear of the field. Pets are not permitted on the course. Headphones of any type are strongly discouraged. The course will be closed to traffic; however, it is spectator friendly because of the out-back elements. All participants and spectators will thoroughly enjoy this event. You will want to be a part of it.
Be a Part of the Second Annual Stonyfield Earth Day 5K
Check the race Website for details and directions on how to get there. But do get there on April 21, 2012 and help friends and family Stonyfield Earth Day 5K with great music and a lot of tasty organic treats as well as valuable information. Have a great run and then have some wonderful fun—bring family, friends, teammates and celebrate running, celebrate the earth.

That is a possible fanboys. When pressed about his next project, John Singleton mentioned he's attatched to direct big screen adaptations of Luke Cage and The Black Panther.
While there are several actors being considered for the part of the African Prince, in an interview with Reelz Channel, Singleton mentioned Chiwetel Ejiofor would be really good in the part.
So who would you rather see; Djimon Hounsou (left) or Chiwetel Ejiofor (right)?
8 Comments
I'm not a Black Panter fanboy but I really can't imagine finding someone better than Chiwetel Ejiofor. I feel the same way about him for this role as I did when I learned Christian Bale was doing Batman.
I really like Chiwetel Ejiofor as an actor. I could see him as the Panther.
I absolutely LOVED Hounsou in Gladiator, and I think he has the look and the gravitas necessary to play the part well. Both are absolutely amazing actors, and I would be pleased to see either of them in the role. Ejiofor is a tribesman, so that would be even cooler.
Ejiofor is great, but he has a very "western" look to him. I buy hounsou more as a tribesman. But they are both great. I could see the film working well with either of them.
PLEASE go see Ejiofor's performance in "Talk To Me", especially the Pool Hall scene where he describes life as a "black guy in a suit", always underestimated by corporate America disrecpected "brothers in the 'hood". It is a great scene executed by a consumate actor. Ejiofor is perfect for a sterotype-free, Batman Begins type rendition of T'challa. Nor does he look "too western" because not every person of direct African heritage looks like a big bald buck, which is where most of Dijimon Honsou's appeal lies with fan boys. Africa is a huge place with diverse looking people.
I'm not so sure about John Singleton's vision, especially with him considering Tyrese Gibson as Luke Cage. That is worse than when LL Cool J was being considered. There are so many trained, physically suited black actors available for various kinds of roles, but Hollywood and fan boys tend to only consider Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman or rappers. Yet when it is time to cast Superman or Batman, the proper care is taken to find a spot-on actor (and in the case of Brandon Routh, a complete unknown was given a shot).
Chiwetel Ejiofor IS TCHALLA and if the script is worrthy it should get him a well deserved Academy Award. The actor is brilliNT and the role was made for an actor of his style and grace.
Chiwetel Ejiofor would be great I love to see that movie infact I wont watch unless it stars him I couldn't imagain anyone better for the role
thanks for the comment, Brent.
I think Ejiofor would do very well. I was also turned off by that 'western' comment. Both actors are from western Africa, as am i, (same ethnic group as Ejiofor) and I can tell you more people there look like Ejiofor than Hounsou, so get that 'tribesman' idea out of your head people…
with that said, i just hope the film is of good quality and that actors are chosen for their skill and not just to fill seats. if its good enough, it'll make money.

Okay, so it's not out yet. But given the range of units available and the historical accuracy of the game, maybe it's good that you have a little extra time to read up on the Second World War. That way you'll be prepared for the demo of the new WWII RTS Blitzkrieg. Sporting a mission for each of the Russian, British and American forces, the demo should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the final game in terms of forces and tactics. Fittingly, the new demo will be available on Valentine's Day (February 14 for you lovely hearts) from the game's official site.

The murder victim was greatly disliked, yet no villager wants to see one of their own hanged for the deed.

Eleanor and Ralf have little time to gather evidence before popular opinion rules the murder solved. But just who is really responsible for this crime?

Moth balls do not normally repel snakes, notes the National Pesticide Information Center. Snakes did not hesitate to cross over moth balls in a study performed by the University of Nebraska.
Because moth balls do not repel snakes, and most purchased snake repellent powders are made from crushed moth balls, homeowners have to use other techniques to get rid of snakes. Some techniques that are effective at getting rid of snakes include physically removing the snake from your property, using a snake trap and securing places, such as holes and gaps along the home's foundation, where a snake could enter the home.

Jays From the Couch reviews the projected 2017 starting rotation for the Blue Jays Triple-A Buffalo Bisons
Doing Triple-A projections at any position is my least favorite task of Spring Training. Seriously, a 33-yr-old 10-year minor league veteran doesn't cause any fan to get excited. I wouldn't blame you if you stopped reading right now because the Buffalo Bisons, while it has some intrigue, doesn't have any of the Toronto Blue Jays Top Prospects.
2016 Bisons Rotation Summary
Buffalo's 2016 rotation consisted of Wade LeBlanc, Drew Hutchison, Scott Diamond, and Chris Leroux. There were a lot of rain days at the beginning of the year which made the 5th spot in the rotation a free pass.
After spending 2015 pitching overseas Wade LeBlanc made a triumphant return to North America. He was easily the International Leagues best SP and on June 22nd the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners hammered out a trade that landed the Blue Jays second baseman Tim Lopes. Wade LeBlanc's Bison career was over after just 14 starts.
Hutchison and Diamond led the way for the Bisons after LeBlanc's departure. Hutch had some decent numbers but overall was very ordinary. He finished with a 7-6 record and 3.59 ERA in 24 starts. The 26-yr-old was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 1st for Francisco Liriano, Harold Ramirez, and Reese McGuire.
Diamond led the Herd in starts (28), losses (15), IP (166), and an assortment of other not so flattering stats. Scott Diamond was a serviceable arm for the Herd.
Speaking of serviceable Canadian starting pitchers, Chris Leroux from Montreal was just that. Leroux finished with an 8-11 record and 4.87 ERA, chewing up 140.1 innings over 24 starts.
Major league veteran Roberto Hernandez rejoined the Bisons on April 27th after failing to win a Major League starting gig out of Spring Training. In 13 starts, Hernandez went 4 and 4 with a 4.42ERA before being released on July 3rd.
New Hampshire Fisher Cats career win leader, Casey Lawrence, joined the Bisons on July 5th. Lawrence's stats improved during his time with Buffalo finishing with a 5-6 record and 3.83 ERA in 15 starts. Casey Lawrence was the Bisons pitcher to pitch a complete game.
There was an assortment of other pitchers to make spot starts for the Bisons. Scott Copeland returned from Korea to provide rotation reinforcements. Mike Bolsinger was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers, making 6 uninspiring starts. John Anderson, Wilmer Font, Pat Venditte, Chad Jenkins, Jason Berken, Arnold Leon, and Dustin Antolin combined to make 17 starts for Buffalo.
Projected Buffalo Bisons 2017 Rotation
TJ House
Casey Lawrence
Blue Jays front office did a good job adding veteran arms to fill out the Bisons rotation. 35-yr-old Jarrett Grube has 387 minor league appearances with 172 minor league starts with 11 teams. Grube made 20 starts in 2016, going 1-7 with a 3.92 ERA.
31-yr-old Lucas Harrell has 71 Major League starts and 172 Minor League starts to his credit. Harrell made 11 MiLB and 9 MLB starts in 2016. He made 5 starts for Atlanta and 4 starts for Texas for a combined record of 3-2 and 4.21 ERA.
I expect Gavin Floyd to be sent to Buffalo and join the Bisons rotation after suffering through another injury riddled season. Despite not making one start in 2016, the Bisons rotation will benefit from his 196 MLB starts.
29-yr-old Casey Lawrence has a chance to start for the Bisons or head back to New Hampshire. I think he deserves a chance at solidifying himself with the Bisons. Lawrence should build off his successful 2016.
The 5th spot in the rotation is a tricky one. I think 27-yr-old TJ House should be given the first shot at claiming that spot. Unlike Mat Latos, House hasn't lost velocity. House only made 12 Triple-A starts in 2016, making an additional 21 relief appearances. The former Cleveland starter made 4 relief appearances for the Indians in 2016.
5th Spot Darkhorse Candidates
If lefty TJ House is used as a reliever instead of a starter, Mat Latos, Brett Oberholtzer, and Matt Buschmann are all options to take his spot in the rotation.
Oberholtzer spent most of 2016 in the Philidelphia and Los Angeles Angles bullpen. The 27-yr-old made 2 starts for the Angles lasting only 4 innings and posting a 13.50 ERA in the process.
29-yr-old Mat Latos has seen his fastball velocity abandon him, dropping from 94.2 to 90.2 mph. So unless Latos can regain his form, he should be considered for spot starts only.
33-yr-old Matt Buschmann was added to the Bisons roster on March 7th giving the Herd yet another MiLB veteran SP option. Buschmann has 239 minor league starts under his belt and been starting since 2006. He made his MLB debut in 2016 with 3 relief appearances for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2016 he also made 24 Triple-A starts going 8-10 with a 5.26 ERA.

BARDSTOWN, KY (FOX19) - A House Bill named in honor of a slain Bardstown Police Officer strives to keep individuals convicted of murdering law enforcement officers behind bars for life.
The Officer Jason Ellis Memorial Act, otherwise known as House Bill 368, would set the minimum penalty for anyone convicted in the murder of a law enforcement officer to life without parole.
Representative David Floyd (R-Bardstown) announced the bill on Tuesday.
Jason Ellis, 33, was killed in the line of duty on May 15, 2013
According to authorities, a woman reported a fatal car accident on a Bluegrass Parkway exit ramp involving a police officer on May 15. Upon arrival, a trooper discovered Ellis' body and determined he had been shot, instead of the original report of a crash.
Police say Ellis did not have any radio communications with dispatch in the minutes before his death. He worked second shift and was in uniform in a marked police car on his way home from work when the incident occurred.
"The murder of Officer Ellis highlights the danger the men and women of law enforcement across the Commonwealth face on a daily basis, whether it's in a large city or a community like Bardstown," said Rep. Floyd. "My bill places the lives of our police officers to the highest possible level, and will hold anyone who is convicted of intentionally murdering an officer to at least the rest of their lives behind bars."
Floyd proposes a new paragraph to the Kentucky Revised Statutes. Under the definition of murder, the proposal states that anyone found guilty of intentionally killing an on-duty local or state police officer, sheriff, or deputy sheriff would face life in prison without any possibility of parole.
The bill will be considered during the 2014 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly.

Leather Gloves
First, animal classification. Each animal leather is different, different temperament, according to first introduce the animals. 1. Cowhide is the most widely used, shoes, leather, leather belt ... ... mainly due to the beautiful, soft firmness to achieve a good balance, especially the most important point wide variety of sources.
To identify: small leather fibers feel more flexibility in the hand, extremely fine pores of the front, but you look carefully will find that is not evenly distributed pores, but small groups, somewhat similar to drizzle fell on the ground feel.
Note, however, the cattle and beef are not the same, yellow leather good, fine fibers, leather can feel it; to die compared to buffalo, buffalo hair less thick leather fibers, pores and sparse spacing, leather look will be worse. The cattle in the case of Henan, Shaanxi and other real estate the best leather, and climate are closely related. In addition, there are a lot of foreign cattle, cow, bull or something will be used to make shoes, say Italian leather, that is a lot of different kinds of cow leather in general, different, performance varies. 2. Pigskin leather is actually kind of good, durable, waterproof, but the pig is too hard, leather look really shabby, 7.80 years there are still many domestic pig shoes, but now rare, Even if there is has been forged, and is currently mainly used for pigskin leather (softer after thinning) and lining leather (shoe lining, lining package) and other accessories, all mouth and eating its meat, but unfortunately it leather goods but can not get a grade. Identify: feeling is not reliable (the process is now made of steel plates can be soft, not to mention pigs almost), especially used for the pigskin leather handles very soft. More obvious to see leather, pig skin's pores are all very rules of equilateral three-angle, very clear, of course, some pigskin on the surface will be polished after the glue and then pressed on the leather grain, which is more trouble. 3. Sheepskin is a good thing ah, soft and delicate, but first of all say that the sheep are divided into goat and sheep skin, goat and sheep skin is not the same, sheep wool factory into the tanneries is the traitor, and goats not of one mind. Sheep than goat skin soft and fine fiber, but the intensity of the quality to badly. Sheepskin is primarily for leather, gloves, shoes lining, ladies soft boots, boots. Fatty sheep skin feel soft, leather lining is a choice to do, and mountain sheep because of high strength, has also been used for high-end women's shoes. I personally prefer leather clothing, to have that strong. Identification: in fact, a good sheep identification, feels it is the most Ruannen fine, of course, more obvious is the surface into a scaly texture. Still have to pay attention to distinguish between goats and sheep, sheep skin goat intensity difference than the reason why is because the small number of fibers, combined with fine wool sheep, is reflected in the fish-scale pattern to fine leather and beautiful at the same time soft and fluffy to handle some of the cortex. 4. Deerskin always give you a high-end, elegant impression, may be mainly the shape and number of rare deer impact, in fact, the deer is an herbivore only, but many species, some of the skin surface of the pores , the distance between the larger pores, feel is slightly better than the pig, usually processed into production of leather or suede made of suede shoes. And some very soft and delicate, tactile, but not as good as leather surface is always smooth. Identify: the picture is not specific, saying that an experience it, I hope to give you inspiration. Year to buy local products in Xinjiang, there are a lot of deer leather, feeling the first time I saw how very rough, and Made in striae, this is not the pig's virtues do! At that time, forget where they are directly asked the owner - that Uighur girl. "What are you pigskin it!" She anxious cry: "No pig, not pig!" This reaction is too intense, and I looked back and his boyfriend, that guy is very strong upset the Uygur of the over, and realized he was in Mohammed's uncle to head ah. Made a national taboo Oh, hurry to buy something leave. Note, however, many types of deerskin, I recently saw a deer leather, feel full fatty Rouran but very flexible, very strong pull to reset, or be mistaken for that special soft leather. Be the best ever seen leather fabric, I do not know whether the deer species are different. Also pay attention to "suede" this thing, suede is "Jizi" skin, very soft, breathable absorbent, made of multi-tanned suede, commonly used in making gloves may also be used to clean cars, clean eyes and so on. Because of lack of raw materials after the multi-purpose sheep alternative. Now has become a suede generally referred to, and now many other animals, suede suede leather made after the guest's (suede cow leather to make shoes feel no difference between the intensity is also particularly good, but if the price in line with PM

San Francisco Ballet: 75th Anniversary
by Kathy Lee Scott
November 12-13, 2008 -- Orange County Performing ArtCenter, Costa Mesa, California
America's oldest professional ballet company, San Francisco Ballet, celebrated its 75th anniversary with new works and a four-city tour. It brought several of those new works to the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, California.
Opening the Wednesday, November 12 show, "The Fifth Season," by Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson, featured six principals moving to Karl Jenkins' "String Quartet No. 2." First on were Katita Waldo and Davit Karapetyan, both clad in grey leotards and tights. The music sounded out of tune and tinny until the entire orchestra joined in, at which point the lights brightened and the tempo increased.
Tomasson retained the basic ballet nomenclature but experimented with different lifts and carries. The men often supported the ladies by their wrists or hands, allowing them to twist and turn easily. The couples mimicked each other's moves, chased each other and then wrapped themselves together. All the dancers matched each other in flow, size and technique. The work showcased the evolution Tomasson envisions for ballet without losing its inherent beauty.
Throughout the piece, the dancers seemed ever in motion. Individual interpretations became apparent when everyone moved alike. Lyrically exquisite, Yuan Yuan Tan reacted to her partner Damian Smith's manipulations with delicacy but strength. Sofiane Sylve showed her sauciness during the tango section. With strong arms and legs, she stalked her three partners (Smith, Karapetyan and Ivan Popov). Like the princess in "Sleeping Beauty," she danced with each one before joining with the last in a short pas de deux. The men exhibited superior control of their leaps, jumps and tours. Karapetyan's assemblé en tournant generated gasps. Each section ended with a couple together in an off-balance pose.
For "Joyrde," choreographer Mark Morris selected John Adams' "Son of Chamber Symphony," an atonal, monotonous piece, to create a modern-dance-imposed-on-ballet-dancers work. It included Morris' standards: walk on stage like a non-dancer, weave around other dancers, and turn legs in. The dancers appeared to be automatons dressed in metallic-colored unitards with a digital display on each one's chests.
Morris incorporated karate kicks in this work. He had the dancers windmill their arms and whip them across their bodies. One repetitive move had the dancers put a hand to their throats with the other out in seconde. He also made them lower their backs in arabesque, so much so that they appeared leaning over instead of upright. They skipped; they flattened their hands; they bent their arms. Men lifted women; men lifted men; and women lifted men.
Because of the frantic pace of the music, the dancers seldom interacted with each other emotionally. So when principals Sarah Van Patten and Gennadi Nedvigin kissed each other's cheek, the audience chuckled..
The final work of the evening featured soloists and principals. The ladies wore tutus; the men wore jazz pants over sleeveless leotards. Boston Ballet resident choreographer Jorma Elo used Phillip Glass' "Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra" and Vladimir Martynov's "Come In!" for his "Double Evil." Instead of modern, Elo incorporated jazz style in this piece. The women primarily used the ballet lexicon while the men stayed low to the ground in a jazz style. Occasionally, the ladies would contract their torsos or lift a hip, which contrasted sharply with their classical style.
While soloist Pauli Magierek described the choreographer as "energetic," the end result felt more frantic. Following the fast-paced music, dancers would chainé quickly across stage. Often the ladies held their arms à la "Coppelia" before flinging their arms across their bodies to propel themselves around in fast spins.
Elo created interesting holds between the couples. One put the man on the ground to push his partner's thigh so she pirouetted around. Another dragged his lady while she extended her legs in a wide lunge on pointe. The choreographer had men clasp the ladies behind the their backs to promenade them around. The men would twist their hands over before grasping the ladies' arms. The men executed barrel rolls with straight arms. They shot out their jetés en tournant across instead of up in the air. They windmilled their arms.
Because of the rapid tempo, the dancers had little time to emote or interact with each other. Their performance displayed their sharp technique and precise movements. The few adage parts allowed short exchanges of looks. Elo's relaxed back stances detracted from the dancers' grace.
The Thursday evening's program gave many corps members an opportunity to dance solo. Resident choreographer Yuri Possokhov combined pieces by Indian composer Rahul Dev Burman and by Graham Fitkin for his "Fusion." Four men (Martyn Garside, Jeremy Rucker, and twins Benjamin and Matthew Stewart) represented the spiritual side of Possokhov's decision to abandon dancing for choreography. Dressed in white, Indian-style pants, tunics and turbans, they began on their knees while performing chest isolations.
They knee-walked in synch to the Indian music before rising and moving with bent arms and precise hands. Through a slit in the rear backdrop, four ladies (Clara Blanco, Frances Chung, Kristin Long, Vanessa Zahorian) entered wearing jazz pants over long-sleeved leotards. Four similarly dressed men (Daniel Deivison, Nedvigin, Smith, Hansuke Yamamoto) joined them for partnered moves. They supported the ladies by their wrists and waists in synch and in a canon. One man stopped his lady with a hand to her stomach before she fell into his arms. The women alternated between the similarly clad men and the Indian men. One of the latter held a lady by her wrists above her head. In a squat, she moved a leg in rond de jambe, and he jumped over it.
In the adage, one man carried his partner with her lying straight on his hands. Then he folded her into a "V" before setting her down. They stretched toward and apart as far as they could reach. She wrapped her arms tightly around herself before a pirouette to deep penché. Her partner held her wrists while she grand pliéd in first position onto the top of her shoes. The man kneeled, and she rolled to join him. A light melody brought with it a brighter stage. After a brief interaction with one of the Indian men, the pair left, he carrying her stiff. Before stepping into the wings, she relaxed over his hands. It would have been a perfect ending, but Possokhov needed to hammer home his point with a final section.
For the second piece of the evening, "Within the Golden Hour," Christopher Wheeldon used six pieces by Ezio Bosso and the andante from Vivaldi's "Violin Concerto in B-flat major." Two corps members, Lily Rogers and Brett Bauer, danced one of the three lead pairs, along with soloists Dana Genshaft and Mateo Klemmayer. Principals Tina LeBlanc and Joan Boada joined the others in this lyrical, emotional work. Wheeldon maintained the ballet artistry without destroying its line and style, unlike other choreographers who seem bent on extinguishing its loveliness.
While the featured dancers displayed technical excellence, LeBlanc and Boada blew them away with their pas de deux. They infused their moves with strong emotion, giving power to their work. Boada stroked LeBlanc's arms before lifting her. She stretched as far as possible, secure in knowing he would keep her safe. He grabbed her extended foot and guided her body. When he lowered her onto himself, the audience sighed.
Bauer and Rogers waltzed together to one piece, he lifting her up on his leg on occasion. The variation showed how a waltz can evolve into more beautiful movement. They wove around each other. He lifted her on his shoulders. She slid on her pointe shoes.
In another section, Wheeldon had the man lift his partner, and they beat their legs together in a shared cabriole. Another held his lady by her leg while she penchéd. In the presto final section, Wheeldon played with his dancers. The ladies formed rings from their arms and the men looked through them. The ladies twirled their bodies when they leaped into their partners' clasp.
The program ended with Balanchine's "The Four Temperaments." First performed 62 years ago, it changed how ballet was performed and dressed. The men wore black tights, white shoes and tops, while the ladies donned black leotards over light pink tights. Balanchine used Paul Hindemith's "Theme and Four Variations," breaking the piece into four parts that each featured a solo dancer surrounded by corps.
The first lady, Dores Andre, threw her leg up to the side to get it high instead of controlling it. As the last thematic couple, Nutnaree Pipit-Suksun and Anthony Spaulding gave a lyrical performance. In "Melancholic," Nicolas Blanc fell but caught himself by an arm before he twisted to a low lunge. He alternated between flowing moves and dangling arms. He supported his ladies, then fell again to the floor.
Zahorian and Boada's synchronous moves to the minor-keyed melodies of "Sanguinic" showed their skill at working together. They had happier enchainement that included emboités, pas de chat turns and double ronds de jambe. Boada executed his multiple entrechats with ease. Pierre-Francois Vilanoba dominated the "Phlegmatic" part, controlled and precise. Elana Altman shown in her quick footwork and feel for the music in the "Choleric" section.
Music Director Martin West conducted the live orchestra and guest artists with aplomb.

The Charity Buzz auction is described as a "very brief meet and greet" with Madonna, but is still expected to fetch $25,000 when the lot closes on 19 January.
Proceeds for the auction will be handed to J/P Haitian Relief Organization, which Penn founded to help needy Haitian families rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake.
The pop queen married Penn in 1985 and they divorced four years later.
