The political dance in Iraq’s south
Salt Lake Tribune United States
For Shibl as haughty as he is convincing that is the way it should be. The tribes often bridging the sectarian divide reflect Iraq in their traditions identity and history. Shibl said their leaders the sheiks have power “to break bones and mend them. Shibl holds court at a half-century-old guesthouse in Hira in the countryside beyond Najaf. It is built of reeds harvested from Iraq’s marshes and bound into arches that he boasts are stronger than iron. Sitting against pillows piled on red carpets he receives guests each day many arriving opportunely for a sumptuous lunch for which his clan regularly slaughters two sheep and dozens of chickens. Since the campaign started the Supreme Council has yet to visit his guesthouse.

People can wait hours in line outside to get inside. The food if there is any is unmemorable and good luck finding a drink. There are not enough bathrooms not enough coat hangers not enough room to spin let alone dance. Attendees can see the presidential couple for about 30 seconds — the time it takes for them to twirl a little on the dance floor for the cameras wave and be off for another twirl at another ball. Strictly speaking a ball a formal party involving dancing isn’t supposed to be a foot-stomping hootenanny. But it’s not supposed to be an ordeal either. fficial balls are organized by the Presidential Inaugural Committee for friends and supporters and usually have a theme — regions and states the military youth and so on.

When the ?b-boys? and ?b-girls? spin around the follow and throw their legs in the air it seems physically impossible to accomplish. “With all the stress of school homework sometimes you need to let loose and have fun and learn a cool move” says dance instructor Godfrey Elder. “You can express yourself in many ways it’s not about competing just dance” says break dancer Pamela Castro. The break dancing program at the YMCA is not just about the dancing but also about learning other skills that the youth can use for the rest of their lives. “They learn how to lead how to work as a team and also how to build friendships” says Flushing YMCA teen director Lisette Martell. “Discipline you have to have hard work you can never quit. You have to stick to your guns and everything” says Jay Figueroa.
Snap Judgment: U2′s new single ‘Get on Your Boots’
Los Angeles Times CA
Since then one of its many missions has been to meld rock and soul in a way that doesn’t feel retro and honors both traditions. "GYB" is sharper-edged than "Mysterious Ways" faster than "Elevation" and more non-linear than "Vertigo. " It’s dance-rock with a few small tricky changes: a very Eno-esque bridge to nowhere based on the phrase "you don’t know how beautiful you are" that drags out the beat like Silly Putty and a break near the end that has Bono rapping "let me in the sound" over a muscular Larry Mullen Jr. drumbeat that yells. "Get on Your Boots" is quick and multi-layered more like the dance rock preferred by kids who grew up on electronic music than a baby-boomer boogie fest.
