Tilikum the Orca Whale dragged veter­ an trainer Dawn Brancheau down to the bottom of his makeshift enclosure. This was not the first time Tilikum has been responsible for the death of a person. Reporter Mike Holfeld died from an attack in 1999 as did a 20 year old trainer who had fallen into his tank in 1999. The audience watched on in utter horror. Some witnesses say Ti­ likum came to the surface and attacked Brancheau, while other reports claim she slipped into the tank.

If it were possi- ble to do so, we would arrange for them to be attractive, intelligent, ambitious, sensible, and funny—all the traits, in short, we wish we could boast and never have enough of, no matter how talented we are. Obviously our children do not grow up to exhibit all these traits, but most of them do well enough with the skills and attributes we do manage to impart to them.

Sputtering to the end of the year, it just seems like this country is . exhausted. Between the election and the meltdown, we seem to be alternating between a euphoric optimism about the future and an unfolding concern over what’s w happening in the recent present. Well, I really can’t do much about what’s going on with the recent present, i.e. the economy. I’m spending as much change as I can find in the sofa, as fast as I can. And I can learn as much as I can about the mortgage bundling, derivatives, and credit default swaps that have apparently been the main cause of the bubble bust, but I can’t figure out what I personally could have done to stop these folks from such complex and risky ventures. I kept hearing it: As long as the money’s coming in, the risk is worth it. Yeah, I’ve heard that same logic espoused at the craps table in Vegas. How did it seem to make sense coming out of Alan Greenspan? He sure seemed to be an expert at the time . oh well. Powerless against the “unfolding concern,” I guess I have to turn towards the “euphoric optimism.” Oh yeah! I’m deeply thankful for a new national shift toward policy that benefits the working class.

  • Our Heory Pressbook
    Our Teory Pressbook BIO$$ OUR THEORY is a French rock/post-hardcore band that was born in 2011 from the minds of Bastien Berhault (singer) and Mehdi Major (guitar/vocals). They were joined later by Damien Bauthamy (guitar, ex-Borderline), Guillaume Cellarius (Drums) and Yoann Andrieux (bass). Our Theory has for mission to give a kick to the french music scene with a mix of tension and restlessness that is characteristic of post hardcore, along with its intensive melodies. With a pure, melodic and deep voice from their singer, strong rhythms and intensive riffs, they create an intensive tension on each of their tracks. Shortly after getting together, they were getting noticed in the scene and their success keeps growing day after day! With their videos for The Devil and The Storm, they smash statistics and prove that they have their place among the international music scene. Stage wise, the band already had the chance to play in France and Europe and share the stage with bands such as Young Guns, Memphis May Fire, Escape The Fate, There For Tomorrow, Eyes Set To Kill, Of Mice & Men, Devil Sold His Soul and Closure in Moscow. Their debut album "Collapse" is out since September the 30th and features Bert from Chunk No Captain Chunk and Edward Gibbs ex singer in Devil Sold His Soul. Considering what has already been achieved so far & so fast, Our Theory is a band to follow very closely! 03/12/2014 – Dunkerque, 4Ecluse (with Hopes Die Last) 02/12/2014 – Lyon, La Marquise (with Hopes Die Last) 13/11/2014 – Paris, Ouï Love Backstage at O’Sullivan

Jones: Goodnight Saigon GOODNIGHT SAIGON: BILLY JOEL’S MUSICAL EPITAPH TO THE VIETNAM WAR Morgan Jones* Billy Joel adopted new personae and took on new roles in several songs on both 1982’s The Nylon Curtain1 and his penultimate studio album to date, 1989’s Storm Front.2 In what some have seen as an attempt to reach a more adult audience, to “move pop/rock into the middle age and, in the process, earn critical respect,”3 Joel put on new hats (literally, at times: his fedora-wearing balladeer appears prominently in the video for “Allentown”) for “Allentown” and “The Downeaster ‘Alexa’,” “Pressure” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” and “Goodnight Saigon” and “Leningrad.”4 Each of these pairs of songs saw Joel endeavoring to make statements about issues that were bigger than he and his own life, which was in stark contrast to his sources of inspiration for his earlier, more self-centered albums.
