The result was a mishmash of motions, from slow rolling around on the floor to precise ballet poses. Partway through the song, many dancers re-converged to climb up a pole on the stage and extended their arms to the dancers on the floor, while others continued to roll and jump about the stage. Overall, the improvisation was awkward, and this comical, scatterbrained section was a slightly unsettling conclusion to the precisely structured show that preceded it.Nevertheless, on the whole...
...irony is that Chávez and Ramírez are adamant that Venezuela can keep delivering to the U.S.--about 1.3 m.b.d., or 12% of U.S. imports.

Given its weight and power source, the Solar Impulse design can't handle turbulence, rain or even heavy clouds. During the day the HB-SIA is expected to climb to 28,000 ft. (8,500 m) so it can preserve battery power after sunset by gliding down to 10,000 ft. (3,000 m) at night. For as much as one-third of the night, says Piccard, the plane will be able to fly its descending course without engine power. But once it reaches its nighttime cruising altitude, the burden of powering the plane will fall to the batteries alone...

Last Sunday, one of the protestors, Nathaniel Hill, 24, injured himself falling from one of the trees while trying to climb down to meet his father. At Columbia University, hunger strikers met with university officials Monday, but failed to see any real changes after a week of protest.
