Higher education continually mediates long standing traditions while seeking new ways of thinking, creating a quiet tension as institutions respond to shifting and multiple socio-cultural values. Dance programs, not immune to these currents, must consider intersecting obligations to build a more equitable curriculum, meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population, and prepare students for a wider array of dance-based careers. In view of their critical role in stewarding the next generation of dance artists-educators-scholars-leaders and fostering change in higher education, faculty must give more attention to the experiences of those committed to dance in higher education.Stories We Dance / Stories We Tell: Essays on Dance in Higher Education (McFarland, 2025) articulates and considers these lived experiences, revealing the inner workings of dance in higher education. Autoethnographic essays varying in style and scope illuminate the pressures encountered across one's career trajectory. By unearthing and contextualizing hidden challenges, expectations, and opportunities, the authors speak to possibilities for how proactive change in dance education can occur.

Depuis 1996, le producteur français Francis Falceto a ouvert au monde les musiques éthiopiennes avec la collection Ethiopiques (Buda Musqiue). Qui n'a pas été surpris en entendant la musique de Mulatu Astatqé dans un film de Jim Jarmush ? L'éclosion de groupes entre folk et rock expérimental, chanter en amharique.

À l'occasion de la sortie des volumes 31 et 32 de la collection Éthiopiques, Francis Falceto est notre invité. Francis Falceto programme différentes musiques du monde au Confort Moderne de Poitiers lorsqu'il fait la découverte en 1984 des 33 tours de Mahmoud Ahmed grâce à Bernard Gallodé. Il entreprend alors en 1985 un voyage en Éthiopie (via Moscou en raison du régime du Derg) pour rencontrer Mahmoud Ahmed, puis, en 1986, réédite sur le label bruxellois Crammed Discs l'album d'éthio-jazz Erè Mèla Mèla (1975) du chanteur et musicien éthiopien. Après le succès en Europe et aux États-Unis du disque, il décide de créer en 1996 la collection « Éthiopiques » avec l'éditeur Buda Musique afin d'exhumer et faire redécouvrir l'ensemble des succès des artistes de la musique éthiopienne de la période 1950-1975, la plupart produits par Amha Eshèté pour le label Amha Records et Ali Abdella Kaifa pour Kaifa Records. Il en acquiert l'intégralité des droits – ou exploite une licence renouvelable tous les cinq ans selon ses déclarations –, ce qui n'est pas sans créer des tensions avec certains artistes, dont Mulatu Astatke, après le succès international important de la collection. Il anime, également dans ce but, de nombreuses conférences sur le sujet. Francis Falceto propose également à Lili Boniche de réaliser un retour sur scène au début des années 1990 et deviendra son imprésario.   Éthiopiques 31- Muluken C'est Muluken qui a inauguré les éthiopiques, voilà vingt ans et plus, avec Hédètch alu, face B de son premier 45 tours (AE 440, publié par Amha Eshèté en février 1972). Trahissant l'extrême jeunesse du chanteur (il n'avait alors pas 18 ans), sa voix séraphique a trompé plus d'un auditeur qui pensait avoir affaire à des accents féminins.

Il est l'un des derniers vinyles publié en Éthiopie, mais surtout le chef-d'œuvre absolu de l'Ethiopian Groove – et son chant du cygne. Il laisse à la postérité une idée claire du niveau de sophistication et de maîtrise qu'avait atteint la musique moderne éthiopienne avant qu'elle ne soit écrabouillée sous la botte militaro-stalinienne du Derg – le sigle qui résume la sanglante révolution en cours depuis 1974. ► Album Éthiopiques 31 - Muluken (Éthiopiques / Buda Musique 2025)   Ethiopiques 32 – NALBANDIAN l'Éthiopien - Either / Orchestra feat.

Ce sont des apatrides d'origine arménienne, Kevork Nalbandian, et surtout son neveu Nersès, qui vont contribuer à révolutionner la musique éthiopienne moderne. Il faut le souligner avec force, le grand parrain historique de cette musique est un émigrant arménien, profondément éthiopianisé, Nersès Nalbandian – Moussié Nersès –, Nalbandian l'Éthiopien.

Nersès se verra conférer la nationalité éthiopienne en 1957 pour services rendus aux musiques d'Éthiopie.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1267: CarMax taps a hospitality CEO to sharpen its digital edge, Toyota makes a disciplined move into three-row EVs with the Highlander name, and AI-generated resumes are creating new hiring headaches for retailers and operators. Show Notes with links: CarMax brings in a hospitality heavyweight to steer its turnaround. The nation's largest used-car retailer has tapped former InterContinental Hotels Group CEO Keith Barr to lead the charge as sales stall and Carvana gains ground. His mission: sharpen digital retail and squeeze costs.Barr takes over in March, replacing Bill Nash amid stagnant sales and rising competition from Carvana.CarMax operates 250+ stores covering 85% of the U.S., but retail volumes fell 8% last quarter.The focus: improve online conversion, streamline vehicle acquisition and reconditioning costs.Analysts say CarMax's omnichannel model may be confusing buyers and hurting digital sales.Barr is confident: “All those foundational pieces are there… we're going to sell more cars and continue to create more value for shareholders.”Toyota is making a calculated move into EVs with the Highlander EV—on its own terms. By putting the Highlander name on a three-row electric SUV, the company signals a strategic shift rooted in discipline, profitability, and market timing rather than rapid expansion.Toyota preserved margins while competitors absorbed heavy EV losses, maintaining flexibility as demand cooled.It's entering the most profitable U.S. segment—three-row midsize SUVs—with a name buyers already trust.Domestic production in Kentucky reduces tariff exposure and political risk while strengthening its U.S. footprint.Leadership under CEO Koji Sato appears focused on controlled scale and sustainable growth.AI may be speeding up hiring—but it's also muddying the truth. New survey data shows a growing disconnect between what candidates claim on resumes and what they can actually do on the job, with AI tools making embellishment easier than ever.80% of hiring managers say resumes often don't match real-world skills; 34% say it happens “all the time” or “often.”Retail examples include POS “experts” who couldn't navigate the system and candidates who folded instantly in negotiation role-play.86% of hiring leaders believe AI makes it too easy to exaggerate skills; 42% see it as a serious hiring risk.Meanwhile, 80% of hiring managers dislike AI-generated resumes, and over half are less likely to hire obvious AI users.As Express CEO Bob Funk Jr. put it: “Integrity is still a competitive advantage.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

We all know elections are important, from president to city council and school board. But have you ever heard anyone talk about running for office as self-care?We hadn't either — until today! This week on the pod, we were joined by two inspirational women: Jill Barkley Roy and Kate Barr. Jill is the Director of Emerge Action Fund, an organization that trains women to run for office. And Kate has been fighting against gerrymandering in North Carolina for years and now, she's actually running for office as a Republican as a genius way to beat those unfair maps.Not only did both Jill and Kate share what they've been doing to help women (including themselves) run for office, but they both said that the work they do is what helps them not lose their shit on a daily basis. Jill even said that after training 25 women to run for office at a recent Emerge bootcamp, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. That sounds a lot better than lying awake because of nightmares about ICE!Kate, meanwhile, shared this wisdom that she first heard from a Tibetan monk about not spreading ourselves too thin. We should find our torch — the issue we care about most — and carry it in the direction we feel is right and true for as we're able. It's what she and Jill have both been doing for years.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

Kentucky students stage a walkout to protest ICE, Congressman Barr says he's endorsing Congressman Massie's challenger, a bill that would give local water districts control over whether to add fluoride to drinking water advance in Frankfort, and the next steps for a city debating whether to green light a new data center.

Beshear says he's disappointed in Lexington's snow and ice removal process, and a new poll shows a tight GOP race for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky.

Roseanne Barr is now known as a reactionary cancel-culture warrior, but she was once a beloved comedian and champion of working-class politics. What exactly happened? And, in the middle of her rocketship ride to the moon of superstardom, she co-starred in a movie with Meryl Streep! What?! And the movie is really good???? Laci and Matt tell the story of She-Devil (1989), director Susan Seidelman's black comedy that pits Barr against Streep and Ed Begley Jr., with Barr as an avenging angel for neglected and forgotten women everywhere. It's a very funny and poignant comedy that critics largely dismissed at the time. Especially British critics, who compared it unfavorably to the 1986 BBC miniseries adaptation of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. That's right, this all starts with a seminal work of feminist literature by author Fay Weldon. We also tell that story, including her 2017 legacy sequel to She-Devil and her sad eventual evolution into a TERF. Then, we dive into She-Devil the film, heaping endless praise of Meryl Streep's hilarious physical comedy, Ed Begley's smarmy nice-guy evilness, and Roseanne's up-and-down performance in her first film role.  Next week's episode (Feb. 13, 2026): When Harry Met Sally... (1989) Time stamps: 00:03:00 — History segment: Original She-Devil author Fay Weldon, an important British feminist writer, and her later unfortunate turn toward TERFdom; director Susan Seidelman's career and experience working with Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr; career overview of Roseanne Barr, from early working-class comedy roots to sad turn toward reactionary pro-Trump politics and cancel culture warriordom  00:52:06 — Movie discussion 01:58:07 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Sources: "Fay Weldon: 'Feminism was a success, but then you lose a generation'" by Claire Armistead | The Guardian (2017) - https://bit.ly/4kfFIAx  "She-Devil returns: Fay Weldon writing 'transgender' sequel to feminist classic" by Sian Cain | The Guardian (2016) - https://bit.ly/3YVLiOt    "Transgender people become women for 'fashion or clothes', says novelist Fay Weldon" by Niamh McIntyre | The Independent (2017) - https://bit.ly/4qzcL4D  "Fay Weldon: transgender people become women for 'frivolous' reasons such as 'fashion' and 'clothes'" by Rozina Sabur & Olivia Rudgard | The Telegraph (2017) - https://bit.ly/4k2zOSW    "Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls" by Susan Seidelman | https://amzn.to/4a3C6ww  "Roseanne: My Life As a Woman" by Roseanne Barr | https://amzn.to/4roXRya  Review of She-Devil by Roger Ebert | The Chicago Sun-Times (1989) - https://bit.ly/4k3EtnT    Artwork by Laci Roth.   Check out Laci's coloring videos on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kKLhWb2g0bKA-RrvvLh0Q/  Matt has a monthly spin-off podcast covering the James Bond films!

Rep. Andy Barr, a Republican representative representing KY's 6th district and candidate KY's soon-to-be open Senate seat, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the House's "feat" of passing all twelve of their funding appropriation bills. Representative Barr also discussed the potential for those bills to be passed in the Senate, as Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer seems to be prepared to shut down the government if DHS funding is not removed from the minibus.

Stem cell science is reshaping treatment for complex disorders of the brain and spinal cord. Researchers develop cell based therapies to replace lost dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease, fill gaps across spinal cord injuries, and calm seizure networks in refractory epilepsy by restoring the balance of inhibition and excitation. Teams test immune cell therapies against Epstein Barr virus infected B cells in multiple sclerosis and collaborate to move treatments across the blood brain barrier to reach diseased cells. Clinicians combine imaging in the operating room, surgical tools, and research on biological age and the pace of aging to understand disease and guide treatment. Patient advocates describe challenges and hopes for better options, and contemporary art reflects on perception in digital and physical worlds.

Les piqûres des frelons de la Visma seront-elles, en 2026, aussi douloureuses et fréquentes qu'elles l'ont été ces dernières saisons ? A quelques semaines de la reprise, la formation néerlandaise a communiqué son programme de course et ses ambitions.La première d'entre elles concerne le choix de Vingegaard qui comme on le pressentait a officialisé son désir de Giro. Le Tour d'Italie sur lequel il s'alignera avant de tenter de battre Pogacar sur la grande boucle. Est-ce un aveu de faiblesse ou un bol d'oxygène salutaire pour le Danois ? La Visma qui va également devoir faire sans l'un de ses leaders Simon Yates qui a décidé du jour au lendemain de prendre sa retraite. Choix qui questionne et qui plonge la formation Néerlandaise dans l'embarras. Alors par qui le remplacer ? Les frelons qui s'ils ont perdu plusieurs hommes clefs se sont dotés en retour de quelques beaux rouleurs français : Zingle, Barré et Armirail font désormais partie de l'armada de la 2e équipe mondiale. Conservera-t-elle son rang cette année ? Là aussi on se pose la question. Christophe Cessieux, Jérôme Coppel, Pierre Koetschet et Pierre Yves Leroux vont tenter d'y répondre. Réalisatrice : Julie DerooProducteur : Théo Rodriguez

Willian (Bill) Barr, attorney who served as United States Attorney General in the administration of President George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993 and again in the first administration of President Donald Trump from 2019 to 2020 & author of One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the legality of Trump's strikes and subsequent capture of dictator Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela. Barr states that Trump's actions are legally justified due to the explicit involvement of Maduro in cartels that are harming U.S. citizens. Barr also addresses the legality if similar actions were taken against the Mexican cartels, and the pair briefly discussed the investigation into the I.C.E.-involved shooting in Minneapolis.

Bill Barr's deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein's death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr's narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr's evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump's knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein's death but couldn't recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr's testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdf

Harry sits down with Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck to dissect the seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. From the UN Charter and head-of-state immunity to the infamous 1989 Barr memo, they unpack the administration's legal gymnastics, multiple legal illegalities, and tenuous positions.  In particular, they zero in on the interplay between U.S. criminal law and the international law that we appear to have knowingly violated. They then turn to the long-term practical moral consequences of the operation, including the possible severe damage to U.S. credibility and strategic interests going forward.

In his 2025 congressional deposition, Bill Barr largely reiterated the position he has maintained since leaving office: that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that there was no evidence of homicide or outside interference. Barr emphasized the findings of the medical examiner, the DOJ's internal reviews, and the conclusions reached by the FBI and Bureau of Prisons investigations, framing the failures at MCC as severe negligence rather than conspiracy. He acknowledged the catastrophic breakdowns in staffing, camera coverage, and supervision but resisted claims that those failures pointed to intentional misconduct. Throughout the deposition, Barr portrayed the persistence of alternative theories as driven more by public mistrust and the extraordinary nature of Epstein's crimes than by substantiated evidence uncovered during federal reviews.That explanation, however, did little to quiet long-standing skepticism surrounding Barr's narrative. Lawmakers pressed him on the speed and certainty with which he publicly declared Epstein's death a suicide, the reliance on internal investigations rather than independent inquiries, and the unresolved questions created by missing footage, altered records, and contradictory statements from jail officials. Critics noted that Epstein's unique status, political connections, and intelligence-adjacent history make the “ordinary negligence” explanation difficult for many to accept, especially given the stakes involved. The deposition ultimately underscored a central tension that has followed the case for years: Barr insists the matter is settled by evidence and procedure, while a significant portion of the public—and some members of Congress—remain unconvinced that the full truth about Epstein's death has ever been disclosed.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
