American Halal Co.'s Saffron Road Adds Four Entrees to Frozen Food Line
Saffron Road, the packaged food brand of Stamford, Conn.-based American Halal Co., adds four all natural, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, Halal certified entrees to its line of frozen foods available at Whole Foods Market stores nationally. Varieties include: Lemongrass Basil Chicken, Moroccan Lamb Stew, Lamb Koftis and Chicken Pad Thai, as well as frozen chicken options: Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Bites, Chicken Tenders and Tandoori Seasoned Chicken Nuggets.
"Whole Foods Market continues to be a very supportive partner that values our brand's focus on providing consumers with not only all natural and Halal Certified meal choices, but also products that are truly unique and of the highest quality," says Adnan Durrani, CEO of American Halal Co.
"Good food brings people together and is a huge part of every community," says Errol Schweizer, senior global grocery coordinator for Whole Foods Market. "The Muslim community is a big part of our customer base, so we were thrilled to work with Saffron Road to develop a line of halal entrees our shoppers can trust. With an exceptional home-cooked taste and the convenience of the freezer aisle, these entrees bring tastes from around the globe to the dinner table in minutes. We're looking forward to expanding our halal product mix and bringing in even more delicious dishes for our shoppers to choose from."
Saffron Road's products are sourced from livestock fed only 100 percent vegetarian feed and are humanely treated. Consumers who prefer gluten-free foods will find that most of the new products are certified gluten-free.
"We started in India with our first entrees, and are now circling the globe to encompass truly global cuisine options in our suite of products," says Jack Acree, executive vice president. "The marketplace clearly lacks premium all natural and Halal Certified options and consumers specifically told us they want to see Moroccan, Thai/Asian and more lamb choices."
Suggested retail price of the entrees is $5.49 to $5.99, and the frozen chicken options are available for $6.99.

The word has so many connotations in today's media-saturated, Hollywood-influenced world. It's hard to believe there ever was such a thing as a non-archetypal gangster. This great new video essay from Press Play by Nelson Carvajal and Matt Zoller Seitz explores the various identities of the Hollywood gangster over the years.
What's your favorite gangster flick? I'm partial to Goodfellas myself, but hey, what else is new. Go ahead and talk gangsters, stabbings, shine boxes, and whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and don't forget to take the cannoli.

Which Disney Park is the Happiest?
There is definitely some competition between the various Disney parks, and the Which Disney Park is the Happiest? infographic design from Cheap Flights tackles this competition head-on!
There are a handful of things that this design does right:
The design is about Disney, but isn't endorsed or from Disney so they correctly avoided using any official logos that might cause a trademark infringement.
Most of the data is visualized, and not just shown in text! There are a few stats near the end that are just shown as text with an icon, and readers will consider these as secondary, less-important statistics.
The consistent icons for the different parks, helps the readers compare between the separate data visualizations
Proportionally sized circles are shown a few times, correctly sized by area.
Data sources and the publishing company are clearly shown in the footer.
The infographic clearly walks the reader through the relevant information, and makes a case for a specific, controversial conclusion, which invites comments and engagement from the readers.
There are a couple things I would suggest as improvements:
The double bar used for WDW Florida in the Number of Hotels bar chart mis-represents the data. I'm sure they did it to keep the overall length of the design shorter, but to give the audience an accurate understanding of how many more hotels there are in Florida, this should be shown as a single bar at the full, correct height.
The footer should include the URL to the original infographic on the Cheap Flights site. It's actually hard to find the original because there are no links to the infographic anywhere else on the site.
Personally, I favor the Florida parks, and can't wait to get back there soon!

China's HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI for January is out.
The headline number climbed to 51.9, a 24-month high.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg were looking for a reading of 51.7, which is a tad higher than last month's reading of 51.5.
Any reading above 50 signals growth.
Here's HSBC Economist Hongbin Qu:
"At 51.9, January's HSBC China manufacturing PMI rose for the fifth consecutive month to the highest level in two-years, heralding a good start to the New Year. Thanks to the continuous gains in new business, manufacturers accelerated production by additional hiring and more purchases. Despite the still tepid external demand, the domestic-driven restocking process is likely to add steam to China's ongoing recovery in the coming months."
Here's a breakdown of the subcomponents via Markit:
Flash is a preliminary reading of growth in China's manufacturing sector.
After slowing briefly last year, China's economy has begun to accelerate again.
Economists will scrutinize all upcoming reports for confirmation that this growth is real.

A transportation strike in Romania, of all things, is being blamed for a delay in the next Battlefield: Bad Company 2 patch on the PC.
In a thread on the EA UK forums, DICE producer Barrie Tingle confirmed the patch has been sent to EA Europe's QA department in Romania, but it isn't being worked on because the testers can't get into the office. "Transportation companies are apparently on strike, so they can't get to work," Tingle said.
Gamers expressed their characteristic sympathy for both Electronic Arts and the working man:
"Then why the hell are they striking," wrote one. "They'r [sic] salaries are not getting reduced by our awesome president. Lazy noob team."
Tingle replied: "They aren't. It is the transport systems striking not QA. QA aren't in cos they can't get into work."
Another gamer: "No QA in the west that can give it a whirl? Looks like the strike was planed [sic] ahead of time based on the article. Why not prepare for this by having another QA studio ready just in case?"
Tingle: "Hire a new QA studio for 2 days?"
People, it's a patch.

The politicians listed are all Republican.
The first wave of deposition notices went out Wednesday in federal lawsuit by a former Minnesota legislative staff member fired after his affair with the then-Senate majority leader.
Attorneys for ex-staffer Michael Brodkorb, who was a senior communications aide for Senate Republicans, filed court papers to depose three ex-senators and one sitting senator as they try to make the case his firing amounted to gender discrimination. Also slated for an early June deposition is former Secretary of the Senate Cal Ludeman.
Brodkorb's case against the Senate argues his firing from his extramarital affair with then-Sen. Amy Koch subjected him to different treatment than female Senate staffers who had affairs.
The politicians listed are all Republican. They are current Sen. David Senjem of Rochester and former Sens. Claire Robling of Jordan, Chris Gerlach of Apple Valley and Geoff Michel of Edina.
Senjem, who replaced Koch as majority leader, said he was expecting to be called on for sworn testimony. He said he has little to add about what transpired than what he has already said publicly since the December 2011 dismissal of Brodkorb.
"I welcome total interrogation," Senjem said. "I don't expect there will be too much new under the covers in my life."

Everything is bigger in Texas, or so they say, and this year's Super Chevy at the Texas Motorplex was the biggest in years. It wasn't easy picking only five Editor's Choice awards from the hundreds present, but these are never easy choices.
Sandra Jameson's '55 Nomad got our attention its stunning paint and interior, while Earl Randall's '69 Pro Street Camaro just looked right. Bobby Evans' '78 Malibu was as clean an example as you'll likely see, with a near flawless factory interior.
Gerry Wise's '63 Chevy II showed why these first gen Novas are gaining in popularity, with flawless paint and a classy interior. Dennis Kuyrkendall's '61 Impala looked completely stick on the outside, but under the hood was a 454. Best of all, it looked like it was a stock, factory install.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A video workshop for middle school teachers; 8 one-hour video programs, workshop guide, and Web site; graduate credit available
Workshop 1: Engagement and Dialogue: Julia Alvarez, James McBride, Lensey Namioka, and more
In New York City, Carol O'Donnell and her students explore themes of multiple worlds and dual identities. They read poetry by Diana Chang and Naomi Shihab Nye, the novel The Color of Water by James McBride, essays and short stories by Gish Jen, Khoi Luu, Lensey Namioka, and Julia Alvarez, and a monologue by Tina Lee. Through a series of innovative drama, role-playing, and writing activities, students examine the social and cultural experiences of the characters, and reflect on their own definitions and experiences of identity. Go to this unit.
Workshop 2: Engagement and Dialogue: Judith Ortiz Cofer and Nikki Grimes
The workshop begins with a profile of the writer Judith Ortiz Cofer and then moves to Vista, California, where Akiko Morimoto and her students read short stories from Cofer's collection, An Island Like You. They respond personally to the works, examine the author's use of figurative language, and then make intertextual connections with books they've read throughout the school year. In a culminating project, students create their own visual symbols to represent the characters and events in the text. Students then explore poems from Nikki Grimes's Bronx Masquerade and examine the writer's craft. Grimes visits the classroom, answers questions about her work, and attends an after-school reading of student poetry. Go to this unit.
Workshop 3: Research and Discovery: Shirley Sterling and Laura Tohe
At the Skokomish reservation in Washington state, Sally Brownfield and her students study and connect with the literature and issues related to the Native American boarding school program through community involvement and self-examination. Students use Shirley Sterling's novel My Name Is Seepeetza and the poetry of Laura Tohe as the lenses through which they explore topics of their choosing. The class visits the Skokomish Tribal Center to interview tribal elders about the impact of the residential boarding program on the community. Author Shirley Sterling visits the class and answers student questions related to her novel, her life, and their personal research topics. Students then decide how to make their learning public. Go to this unit.
Workshop 4: Research and Discovery: Edwidge Danticat, An Na, Laurence Yep, and more
In Clayton, Missouri, Kathryn Mitchell Pierce's students read works that explore issues of historical and contemporary immigration. Pierce uses multicultural picture books to introduce students to a wide range of perspectives and to set the stage for their novel study. In literature groups, students discuss novels by Edwidge Danticat, Laurence Yep, Walter Dean Myers, Pam Munoz-Ryan, and An Na. In culminating presentations, students synthesize themes and pose thought-provoking questions that invite others to examine these novels in new ways. This workshop features author profiles of Laurence Yep and Edwidge Danticat. Go to this unit.
Workshop 5: Historical and Cultural Context: Christopher Paul Curtis
Laina Jones and her students in Dorchester, Massachusetts, explore The Watsons Go to Birmingham
— 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis. Jones uses non-fiction, documentary film, and historical photographs to contextualize the events in the novel and the Civil Rights movement. The students make deep connections to the literature through drama, poetry, and creative writing activities. Curtis visits the classroom, addresses questions, and leads students in a writing workshop. The unit culminates with a service learning project in which students create children's books about the Civil Rights movement and share them with elementary school children. Go to this unit.
Workshop 6: Historical and Cultural Context: Langston Hughes and Christopher Moore
Stanlee Brimberg and his students in New York City study the important contributions of African Americans to the United States and the recent discovery of the African Burial Ground in Manhattan through factual texts, video, art, photography, and poetry. The students interview writer, historian, and documentary filmmaker Christopher Moore to learn more about the everyday experiences of African slaves in early New York. They examine the works of Langston Hughes, and then — drawing on all of the texts — they write their own poetry and engage in peer review. As a culminating activity, the students take a field trip to the African Burial Ground Memorial, and then design their own postage stamps to commemorate the site. Go to this unit.
Workshop 7: Social Justice and Action: Alma Flor Ada, Pam Muñoz Ryan, and Paul Yee
Laura Alvarez and her students in Oakland, California, examine different perspectives and experiences of immigrants, and then formulate and defend positions on issues with which they connect personally. They examine works including My Name Is Maria Isabel by Alma Flor Ada, Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan, and Tales From Gold Mountain by Paul Yee to compare characters' hopes, expectations, and actual experiences upon arriving in the United States. Students conduct research, including interviews with family members and nonfiction readings. Dr. Alma Flor Ada visits the classroom, answers questions about her novel, and facilitates discussion about social justice and taking action for change. As a culminating project, students write and revise persuasive letters to raise public awareness about the issues they've examined. Go to this unit.
Workshop 8: Social Justice and Action: Joseph Bruchac and Francisco Jiménez
This workshop begins with profiles of the featured authors, and then moves on to Chicago, Illinois where Lisa Espinosa's students explore themes of representation through literature, documentary film, photography, and music. Students look critically at past and current media depictions of African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans, and examine ways in which artists and writers from within those cultural groups, including Joseph Bruchac and Francisco Jimenez, represent themselves. The students analyze the individual works, make comparisons across texts, and make connections to their own lives. In a culminating project, students represent their own experience, using black-and-white photography and essays as social commentary. Teachers, family, and community members join together at a local coffeehouse for an exhibit of the students' work. Go to this unit.

- Brilliant minds are still trying to figure out the financial impact of Italy's election
- The lack of certainty is seen as a negative for Italy -- and the eurozone
- Instability could reignite the eurozone crisis
- But it depends on what deal will be done, and how the markets will respond
Editor's note: Louise Cooper is a financial blogger and commentator who regularly appears on television, radio and in print. She started her career at Goldman Sachs as a European equity institutional sales person and then become a financial and business journalist. She now writes CooperCity.
London (CNN) -- Brilliant minds across the financial world are still trying to work out the implications of the Italian election result.
For the time being, the best answer is that it is probably too soon to tell. After Tuesday's falls, a little stability has returned to markets, possibly because everyone is still trying to work out what to think.
Credit ratings agency Moody's has warned the election result is negative for Italy -- and also negative for other indebted eurozone states. It fears political uncertainty will continue and warns of a "deterioration in the country's economic prospects or difficulties in implementing reform," the agency said.
For the rest of the eurozone, the result risks "reigniting the euro debt crisis." Madrid must be looking to Italy with trepidation. If investors decide that Italy is looking risky again and back off from buying its debt, then Spain will be drawn into the firing line too.
Can the anti-Berlusconi save Italy?
Louise Cooper, of Cooper City
Standard & Poor's stated that Italy's rating was not immediately affected by the election but I think the key part of that sentence is "not immediately."
At the same time Herman Van Rompuy's tweets give an indication of the view from Brussels: "We must respect the outcome of democratic elections in Italy," his feed noted.
Really? That's a first. The democratically elected Silvio Berlusconi was forced out when he failed to follow through with austerity after the European Central Bank helped Italy by buying its debt in autumn 2011.
"It is now up to Italian political leaders to assume responsibility, compromise and form a stable government," Van Rompuy tweeted.
Did he see the results? The newcomer and anti-establishment comedian Beppe Grillo refuses to do a deal and yet he is the natural kingmaker, polling at 25%.
"Nor for Italy is there a real alternative to continuing fiscal consolidations and reforms," he continued.
Economically yes, but the Italian electorate disagree. And for the time being, Italy has a democracy (of sorts).
Finally: "I am confident that Italy will remain a stable member of the eurozone."
He hopes...
The key to whether the crisis reignites is whether investors begin to back away from lending to Italy. If so, this will be the big test of the ECB's resolve to save the euro.
Read more: Euro crisis coverage
The key thing to look at is Italian bonds, because if borrowing costs rise from 4.8% for 10-year money currently to nearer 6%, then Italy will start to find it too expensive to borrow.
The trillion euro question is if the ECB will step in to help even if it cannot get the reforms and austerity it demands (because of the political situation). That is the crux of the matter. And there will be many in the city today pondering that question.
Clearly in financial markets, taking on a central bank is a dangerous thing to do. Soros may have broken the Bank of England on Black Wednesday 1992, making billions by forcing sterling out of the EMU, but that was a long time ago.
Italy avoids panic at bond auction
What we have learnt from this crisis is not to "fight the Fed" (or the ECB). Last summer, the ECB's chief Mario Draghi put a line in the sand with his "whatever it takes" (to save the euro) speech.
But as part of that commitment he stressed time and time again that any new help from the ECB comes with conditions attached. And those conditions are what have proven so unpalatable to the Italians -- austerity and reform.
So we have two implacable objects hurtling towards each other. The political mess of Italy and the electorate's dislike of austerity and reform (incumbent technocrat Mario Monti only polled 10%).
So what happens next? The status quo can continue if Italian borrowing costs do not rise from here and therefore Italy does not need ECB help.
If markets continue to believe in Draghi and Brussels that the euro is "irreversible," then investors will continue to lend to Italy. Yes, markets will be jittery and fearful, but Italy will eventually sort itself out politically.
The big advantage for Italy is although it has a lot of debt, it is not creating debt quickly (like Greece, Spain or even the UK). And as I said yesterday on my CooperCity blog, the positive outcome from all this could be that Brussels backs off from austerity, which would be a good thing.
However, the basic rule of finance is that high risk comes with high return. Soros took a huge gamble against the British central bank but it reportedly made him a billionaire overnight.
There must be a few hedge funders looking at the Italian situation with similar greed in their eyes. If he wants to save the euro, it is time for Mario Draghi to put the fear of God back into such hearts.

Alsion, University of south Denmark
Daylight sensation
A seamless transition from day to night gives a daylight sensation at Alsion at the university of south Denmark. Fagerhult's integrated systems and special solutions realised the architect's vision of a "light house" that was nominated for the Danish lighting award.
In the southern part of Jutland in Denmark lies an exceptional building of 28 428 square meters, with its well planned architecture it embraces as much natural light as possible. Alsion is the first building in Denmark that combines education, research and culture in one roof.
Glass spaces with saving potential
The building is created around the idea of a "light house" with many glass spaces that enhance an enormous energy saving potential with the incoming daylight.
Multifunctional building
The University was founded to bring young students to the more remote parts of Denmark and to supply a bigger flow of students to Sønderborg. The University also contains a cultural centre and a section for developing companies, in order to facilitate growth for small innovative companies.
Fagerhult's competence and understanding of the architects vision gave the project a custom made solution so that the electric light fell natural at its place. The luminaires also maintained as many of the qualities of the daylight as possible.
Discrete Notor
The architect also wanted as little of the fixtures shown in the building, which made Fagerhult's discrete luminaire Notor an excellent choice.
It was our knowledge about light that was the reason the architect choose Fagerhult, we understood his vision and convinced him that we would be able to make his lighting dreams come true, says Henrik Clausen, Manager of Fagerhult's Lighting Academy.
Nominated light art
The same year the university was ready to receive its students, it also got nominated to the Danish lighting award with the jury's motivation:
Incredibly beautiful coexistence between daylight, light-art and architecture. The artificial lighting gives a fine accenture of the architecture.

Derrek Boling Built His Modified Roadster Like A True Hot Rod
Back in 1980, Hot Rod magazine ran a story on a project car built entirely from brand-new parts ordered by phone from the aftermarket. Nothing original. Nothing salvaged. Nothing hot rodded. At the time, the idea seemed extraordinary-even a little nuts. Today, you can walk through any high-profile hot rod event and see all kinds of mail-order rods like that behind velvet ropes or plastic chains.
At shows like the West Coast Kustoms Cruisin' Nationals in Santa Maria, California, on the other hand, you're far more likely to find hot rods built without the benefit of catalogs and credit cards-hot rods like this '25 Dodge roadster, built, owned, and driven by Derrek Boling.
When Derrek bought the Dodge a few years ago, it wasn't to build it up. He wanted a '26 T sedan body that a friend of his owned, so he bought the Dodge from another friend to trade for the T. A couple years later, the Dodge hadn't progressed very far, so Derrek did some more trading to get it back.
What he started with was a rough, old, untouched touring body-minus the doors-rusting on the stock frame. Derrek's original plan was just to build a cool hot rod roadster out of it, using spare parts he already had or could get easily, and fabricating the rest. He never strayed from that plan.
The first part fabricated was the new frame, built from 2×4-inch tubing to replace the original 'rails. A radical 15-inch Z at the rear drops the channeled body below the height of the tires. He said that once the frame was finished and he started hanging the suspension, the whole thing started coming together.
Much of the original steel was completely rusted and had to be replaced, especially the floor and cowl. While repairing or removing those damaged areas, Derrek was able to convert what was once the front portion of a touring into a complete modified roadster. That included building side skins to replace the doors-and creating holes in the rocker area for the split wishbones to attach to the frame. He said the biggest challenges of building such a low-riding car and keeping it drivable were hanging the rear suspension and building the steering system to keep the geometry correct.
The drivetrain is a Chevy small-block and Powerglide combination transplanted from a Chevy pickup. The interior was kept as simple as possible to fit the whole general concept of the roadster.
The vast majority of the buildup was done by Derrek at his shop, Boling Brothers Early Iron, with assistance from Jerrad Gilpin, Pepper Sanchez, and Daniel Castro, who are his fellow members in the Royales car club. When the Dodge made its public debut in Santa Maria, it got a lot of attention and appreciation. Attention because of what it looks like and appreciation because of how it was built.

1925 Dodge Modified Roadster
There's no way this is riding on a stock Dodge frame. Boling Brothers Early Iron fabricated the custom 'rails from 2×4-inch tubing, with 2×3 where it kicks up at the rear. The front and rear split wishbones mount to the 'rails though an opening in the channeled body-which Derrek told us is his favorite touch on the car. Pete & Jake's shock absorbers ride at all four corners and drum brakes grab all four wheels. In the front, Derrek added a Super Bell dropped axle with Ford spindles. The Corvair steering box is controlled by a custom-built column. The rear axle hangs on quarter-elliptic springs-the '50 Ford differential is filled with "too low" gears, according to Derrek. Daniel "Tall Can Dan" Castro sprayed the black paint on the 'rails and suspension parts and earned his nickname by refusing any payment except for a few tall cans of Coors.
A Chevy small-block of unknown origins, pulled from the engine bay of an operational pickup, seems like the perfect powerplant for this rod. The block and stock manifold disappear under a coat of body-color paint, but the chrome helmet-style air cleaner, single Rochester two-barrel carb, finned valve covers, and custom-made open megaphone headers draw lots of attention. The pickup also provided the Powerglide automatic transmission.
Body & Paint
Converting a touring car into a roadster took a little sheetmetal surgery by the owner, including lengthening the body about 4 inches and narrowing the Dodge grille. Derrek built some custom side skins to replace the missing doors. He creating an upper bead along the added steel to match the rest of the body, eliminating the door openings but retaining a seam to help break up the body lines and avoid the smooth look of a fiberglass car. A single center Model A taillight is a great touch, mounted above a Model T fuel tank, which was notched to clear the rearend. Pepper Sanchez from Royale Vintage in Tulare took care of any sheetmetal flaws and painted it in deep maroon. Pinstriping by Ruben, out of Visalia, California, followed up with some clean 'striping on the grille shell, cowl, and dash.
Wheels & Tires
Blackwall skinny bias-plies on early spoke wheels emphasize the old-time look of the roadster. The wheels are 19-inch '30-31 Model A wires. The front tires are from BFGoodrich and the rears are Cokers.
It's super simple on the inside of the roadster. Derrek and any passenger settle into custom seating, built to use the floor and the rear portion of the body as the seat structure, separated by a center piece. All the stitching was handled by Chavez Upholstery in Visalia. The stock Dodge dash is painted to match the rest of the car, detailed with some additional 'striping, and dressed up with Stewart Warner Wings gauges: speedo, water temp, and oil pressure. A wrecking yard shifter and flat four-spoke sprint car steering wheel were practical and appropriate additions.

Laramie County Community College's men's and women's rodeo team provides approximately 30 to 40 members with the opportunity to compete in intercollegiate rodeos in the Central Rocky Mountain Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.
The team competes at 10 rodeos each year as well as the College National Finals Rodeo. LCCC is centrally located in the region consisting of two- and four-year schools in Colorado, Wyoming and the panhandle of Nebraska, which makes travel to rodeos easier on the team. Coaches travel with the team, and the college provides students with travel allowances.
First-class Facilities
LCCC's rodeo team practices in indoor and outdoor arenas on campus. The heated indoor arena measures 130 by 250 feet with three left-hand and three right-hand delivery bucking chutes and a Priefert roping chute with numerous holding pens on both ends. There is space to tie horses on one side under the bleachers and a return alley on the other side under the bleachers. LCCC also provides practice stock.
The college houses 30 calves, 35 steers, 15 bucking horses, 12 bulls and five to 10 goats. There also are a limited number of horse stalls for qualified members of the team. LCCC owns a school truck and a seven-horse Exiss trailer, which the coaches take to college rodeos, as well as other stock trailers to help transport livestock when necessary.

From 2012/13, contemporary and cross-artform work previously programmed by ROH2 is to be assimilated into the new artistic management of The Royal Ballet and Royal Opera.
ROH2 has commissioned and staged productions since 2001, mostly in the Linbury Studio Theatre, Clore Studio and the Paul Hamlyn Hall but also in the regions, as well as being responsible for special projects such as the innovative, award-winning Deloitte Ignite festival, now in its fifth year, and being currently being curated by artist Yinka Shonibare.
Director of Opera Kasper Holten will lead the team responsible for commissioning and developing opera and music in the alternative spaces, working with John Fulljames, Associate Director of Opera, continuing many of the external collaborations that have developing over the years with ROH2 and evolving them further. More than 100 new opera projects have been created through the Opera Development programme led by John Lloyd Davies and The Royal Opera looks forward to working with him again in the future. Ballet and dance in the Linbury and other spaces will be overseen by the new Director of Ballet, Kevin O'Hare and his team.
The internal reorganization of the artistic management of the work does not in any way affect the Royal Opera House's commitment to commissioning innovative and challenging new work and collaborating with other creative organizations.

Peterson is racking up rushing yards, but it's not helping Vikings' woeful passing game
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – When Adrian Peterson lay prone on the Washington turf last December with a shredded left knee, even his most ardent supporters would have had trouble believing he would reclaim his standing as the NFL's best running back just 10 months later.
His remarkable return to prominence has been one of the feel-good stories of the season. It's also shaking the very foundation of the Minnesota Vikings' offensive philosophy, and one of the longest-held tenets in football: that success on the ground will open things up in the passing game.
Peterson is getting better and better every time he steps on the field this season, more closely resembling the powerful cutback runner he was before tearing two ligaments against the Redskins late last season. It's been an incredible recovery, punctuated by three straight 100-yard games, including a breath-taking 144 in the first half alone last week against Seattle.
He finished with 182 yards and two touchdowns against the Seahawks, following up a 123-yard effort against Tampa Bay and 153 against the Arizona Cardinals. He leads the NFL with 957 yards rushing and 1,107 yards from scrimmage, accounting for nearly 37 percent of the Vikings' total offense.
For decades, the belief in the NFL has been that a successful run game will set up big gains down the field by getting safeties to creep up closer to the line of scrimmage and create one-on-one matchups outside. Even in this day and age of pass-happy offenses, the Vikings have stayed committed to that approach.
While Peterson has run better and better each week, the pass offense has been stuck in a downward spiral over the last three weeks. Christian Ponder threw for 58 yards against Arizona, was able to pad his stats in garbage time against Tampa Bay, then managed just 63 yards in the loss at Seattle.
"Usually when you run the ball as well as we're running it, you get some easier route combinations that you can have success with because of the eight- and nine-man fronts that we're getting," coach Leslie Frazier said Thursday. "But it hasn't materialized for us. We're trying to figure that out and trying to capitalize on how well we're running the ball, which creates a lot of single-safety situations for our offense to see."
The problems are many. Receivers are having difficulty creating separation, Ponder has been woefully inaccurate with his throws and the Vikings (5-4) have struggled at times to pick up the blitz and keep their quarterback protected while losing three of their last four games.
Put quite simply, opposing defenses are not viewing the Vikings' downfield passing game as a threat. That means they're not biting on play-action fakes as hard as they did early in the season, not having to commit a safety to double-teaming any of their receivers and therefore are able to turn loose extra pass rushers to put as much heat as possible on Ponder, who has looked skittish in the pocket.
"It just comes down to needing to execute and be more balanced on offense," center John Sullivan said. "Obviously we're committed to running the football. We're going to do that in every game we play. Theoretically it should open up the passing game. That hasn't been happening. Our focus this week is trying to get the pass game going while continuing to do what we've been doing in the run game."
Peterson vowed to be ready for Week 1 of the season, but there were plenty of skeptics. He scored two touchdowns and rushed for 84 yards in the opener against Jacksonville, but it was apparent he was missing just a little bit of that top gear that made him so special before the injury.
He grinded out some games against Indianapolis and San Francisco before topping 100 yards for the first time at Detroit, but was still looking for the big breakaway runs that were a hallmark of his first five years in the league. They've started to come in the last two games. He scored on a 64-yard run against the Bucs, then ripped off a 74-yarder while averaging 10.7 yards per carry against the Seahawks.
"It's a little frustrating," Peterson said after the game. "You just see what you can do and see how you can improve and go from there. That's going to be our focus point; establish the run and try to be more productive in the pass game. It's obvious we didn't have a big game passing. But we'll work on it."
Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said he is re-examining the routes his receivers are running, the protections being assigned to the offensive line and running backs and everything else to try to get the passing offense going.
"We're not at all pleased with our production. We need to get back on track," Musgrave said. "Everybody can sense that. We're very disappointed. Not at all discouraged, but very driven and determined to get it back on track."
It could be made more difficult this week against the Lions if star receiver Percy Harvin is unable to play because of a sprained left ankle. He was still hobbling around Thursday and appeared to be a long shot to practice Friday. Peterson missed practice as well with an illness, but is expected to play against the Lions.

Video Highlights Earlier Beastie Boys Copyright Lawsuit & MCA's Thoughts On Sampling
from the de-minimis? dept
Bloomberg Law has put together a short video about Adam Yauch and the sampling lawsuit filed against the Beastie Boys the day before his death. Though the voiceover guy sounds a little like it's his first time reading the script, the video brings up some interesting tidbits.
One is a 2003 sampling lawsuit brought against the Beasties in which they triumphed: the Ninth Circuit ruled that a flute sample they took from a James Newton song was protected by the de minimis doctrine. Basically the court found the brief sample to be too insubstantial to qualify as copyright infringement. What the video mentions briefly (but doesn't go into in detail) is the fact that, two years later, the infamous Bridgeport ruling in the Sixth Circuit stated that samples are never protected by de minimis and must always be licensed no matter how short or simple they are. In the beginning, some major labels actually opposed that ruling, because they had already released lots of albums with samples on them and were worried about a storm of litigation. But since then, the industry has come to essentially treat Bridgeport as gospel, even though it's only binding in the Sixth Circuit and other rulings (like the Beastie Boys flute sample) have gone the other way. There are some key differences between the rulings, though: the Newton decision was about compositional rights (the Beastie Boys had licensed the sample of the recording) whereas Bridgeport was about sound recording rights.
The video also highlights a quote from Yauch in a 2004 interview with Wired Magazine, when he was asked about unlicensed samples coming back to haunt them. His response? "I think there's a statute of limitations on that stuff." This is a point a few people have brought up (because it seems so completely insane to face a lawsuit over an album that has been hugely popular for over 20 years), but the legal details are a bit more complex. The countdown clock for the statute of limitations on copyright infringement doesn't start ticking until all infringement has ceased—but Paul's Boutique has been selling continuously all these years, and was re-issued for its anniversary in 2009. If this new lawsuit goes to trial (which doesn't seem likely given the way sampling lawsuits normally go these days, but the Beastie Boys have yet to make a statement) then the statute of limitations would likely be used to argue that the Beasties are no longer liable for earlier album sales, but it wouldn't get them off the hook entirely.

ALLENTOWN (PA) – Delaware Valley College captured a championship for the fifth year in a row as the Aggies rallied from a four-point halftime deficit and defeated host Muhlenberg College, 24-14, in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) South Atlantic Bowl.
Delaware Valley, which had its run of four consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference titles snapped this year, finished the 2012 campaign with an 8-3 record. It was the third ECAC crown in Aggie football history as it also came away with bowl victories in 2003 and 2008.
Muhlenberg, which dropped a game to Delaware Valley for the third straight year (season-opening losses in 2010 and 2011), also ended its year with an 8-3 mark.
Delaware Valley sophomore quarterback Aaron Wilmer was selected as the game's Most Outstanding Player as he ran for a game-high 138 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for 106 yards and a score. He did so despite the fact that his leading receiver, Chris Ruiz, was out with an injury and his second-leading receiver, Lewis Vincent, saw limited action due to his injury.
Wilmer put Delaware Valley on the scoreboard just 4:12 into the contest as he called his own number and sprinted for a 38-yard touchdown. It was just the third offensive play of the day for the Aggies, who took over at their own 48-yard line following a short punt by the Mules. Brandon Snyder added the extra-point for a 7-0 advantage.
However, the momentum was short-lived as Muhlenberg's Isaiah Vaughn returned the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. John Gruver's point-after tied it up just 17 seconds after Wilmer's score.
Later in the first quarter and early in the second, Delaware Valley converted a pair of fourth-down plays to move the ball inside the Mule 20. The Aggies had a touchdown called back because of a penalty, but they picked up three points on the drive as Snyder booted a 34-yard field goal for a 10-7 lead with 11:46 remaining in the first half.
Midway through the second, a partially-blocked punt gave Muhlenberg excellent field position on a drive as it took over on its own 43. On the first play, quarterback Joe Carlucci found Vaughn behind the Delaware Valley secondary for a 57-yard touchdown and a 14-10 advantage with 8:07 to go in the half.
The Mules tried an onsides kick, but Mike Anusky fell on it for the Aggies at the Muhlenberg44-yard line. A five-yard offside on the kick gave Delaware Valley extra yardage, but the offense then faced a fourth-and-eight and a Wilmer pass fell incomplete. Late in the half, Aggie linebacker Cory Armstrong intercepted a Carlucci pass to end a Muhlenberg threat and the half ended with the Mules holding a four-point lead.
Early in the second half, Delaware Valley had a 53-yard touchdown run by Alquann Jones erased because of an illegal procedure call, the second score negated by a penalty in the contest. However, the Aggies continued that drive thanks to a 32-yard leaping reception by Vincent inside the Mule 30-yard line. Two plays later, Kyle Schuberth went up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown and a 17-14 Delaware Valley advantage with 7:07 left in the third. The run also made Schuberth just the third back in school history to go over the 1,00-yard mark in multiple seasons (Matt Cook three times, Steve Cook two times).
Muhlenberg was stopped on the ensuing drive and then attempted a pass on a fake punt. However, senior John Robinson prevented the receiver from getting the first down and the Aggies took over on the Mule 30. Delaware Valley managed just two yards over its next three plays to bring up fourth down. Wilmer hit Dashown Waller to move the sticks and keep the drive going. Another fourth down came up and another conversion as Wilmer found tight end James Norton for seven yards and a first-and-goal from the six. They managed just one yard over the next two plays as the third quarter came to an end. On the first play of the fourth, Wilmer found enior wide receiver Danny Fierro in the end zone for the five-yard score. Snyder added the extra-point for the 10-point lead.
Muhlenberg did not get its first, first down of the second half until the clock ticked near the four-minute mark remaining in the fourth. The Mules picked up another first down to get into Aggie territory, and Carlucci then hit a streaking Vaughn for a 40-yard touchdown to get Muhlenberg to within three, 24-21, with 3:24 remaining.
The Mules attempted another onsides kick and they recovered this one at midfield. Carlucci went deep for Vaughn again, but preseason All-American cornerback Terrance Osborne intercepted it for the Aggies at their own four-yard line.
Schuberth got a yard on first down and the Mules called timeout, hoping to stop Delaware Valley and get another shot at the tie or the lead. That went out the window as Wilmer took a keeper and raced 72 yards to the Mule 23-yard line. Delaware Valley picked up another first down and then took a knee twice to wrap up the ECAC title.
The Aggies finished with 431 yards of total offense, including 325 yards on the ground. They entered the game ranked 15th in the country in rushing with an average of 260.4 yards per contest. Schuberth went over the 100-yard mark as he carried the ball 25 times for 126 yards and a score. It was the third time this season that Delaware Valley had two or more players reached the century mark in rushing in the same game.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Aggies held Muhlenberg to just 229 total yards, including just 49 yards on 26 running plays. Only 75 of the yards came in the second half, including 40 on the one touchdown catch by Vaughn. Dwayne Shaw had seven tackles and a sack while Chad Wisniewski added six stops and one sack.
Vaughn finished with 218 all-purpose yards on the afternoon as he caught three passes for 106 yards and two scores and returned two kickoffs for 112 yards and a touchdown. Carlucci was 10-for-24 for 180 yards, two touchdown and two interceptions. Ian Gimbar led the defensive charge with 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
