...surprising that the people in charge of China's public image would want to trumpet this development: China's enthusiasm for capital punishment has long been a target for international criticism of its human rights record. The authorities deem China's annual tally of executions a state secret, but even the total reported in the Chinese media far exceeds that of other countries where capital punishment is practiced.

The choreography, as a whole, is technically challenging and often belies the cheery, lighthearted texture of the ballet. In the Oct. 20 evening performance, Larissa Ponomarenko’s performance as Kitri was both spirited and graceful. She is flawless in her technique, particularly her controlled and sustained...
...What Republicans are hoping is that they can use the issue of gay marriage and the ruling to motivate conservatives in key states like Tennessee, Missouri and Virginia, where Republicans are in danger of losing Senate seats. Polls this year have shown small but measurable drop-offs in enthusiasm from Christian conservatives, and there?s some worry about whether they will stay home on Election Day, particularly after the Foley scandal, which some conservative leaders blamed on congressional Republicans for being too afraid to take action against Foley earlier because it might be perceived as anti...
