The Lexington Avenue/59th Street station (signed as 59th Street–Lexington Avenue) is a New York City Subway station complex shared by the IRT Lexington Avenue Line and the BMT Broadway Line. It is located at Lexington Avenue between 59th and 60th Streets, on the border of Midtown and the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The station complex is the fourteenth-busiest in the system, with over 21 million passengers in 2016.

It is served by the , , and  trains at all times, the  train on weekdays, and the  and  trains at all times except late nights. In addition, the <6> express train stops here during weekdays in peak direction.

A free out-of-system MetroCard/OMNY transfer is available to the 63rd Street Lines ( and  trains, as well as rush-hour  and  trains) by exiting the station and walking to the Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station.

History

Construction and planning

Lexington Avenue Line station
Following the completion of the original subway, there were plans to construct a line along Manhattan's east side north of 42nd Street. The original plan for what became the extension north of 42nd Street was to continue it south through Irving Place and into what is now the BMT Broadway Line at Ninth Street and Broadway. In July 1911, the IRT had withdrawn from the talks, and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT) was to operate on Lexington Avenue. The IRT submitted an offer for what became its portion of the Dual Contracts on February 27, 1912.

In 1913, as part of the Dual Contracts, which were signed on March 19, 1913, the Public Service Commission planned to split the original Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) system from looking like a "Z" system (as seen on a map) to an "H"-shaped system. The original system would be split into three segments: two north–south lines, carrying through trains over the Lexington Avenue and Broadway–Seventh Avenue Lines, and a west–east shuttle under 42nd Street. This would form a roughly "H"-shaped system. It was predicted that the subway extension would lead to the growth of the Upper East Side and the Bronx.

The Lexington Avenue Line station at 59th Street opened on July 17, 1918, with service initially running between Grand Central–42nd Street station and 167th Street via the line's local tracks. On August 1, the "H system" was put into place, with through service beginning on the new east and west side trunk lines, and the institution of the 42nd Street Shuttle along the old connection between the sides. The cost of the extension from Grand Central was $58 million.

Broadway Line station
The New York Public Service Commission adopted plans for what was known as the Broadway–Lexington Avenue route on December 31, 1907. This route began at the Battery and ran under Greenwich Street, Vesey Street, Broadway to Ninth Street, private property to Irving Place, and Irving Place and Lexington Avenue to the Harlem River. After crossing under the Harlem River into the Bronx, the route split at Park Avenue and 138th Street, with one branch continuing north to and along Jerome Avenue to Woodlawn Cemetery, and the other heading east and northeast along 138th Street, Southern Boulevard, and Westchester Avenue to Pelham Bay Park. In early 1908, the Tri-borough plan was formed, combining this route, the under-construction Centre Street Loop Subway in Manhattan and Fourth Avenue Subway in Brooklyn, a Canal Street subway from the Fourth Avenue Subway via the Manhattan Bridge to the Hudson River, and several other lines in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company submitted a proposal to the Commission, dated March 2, 1911, to operate the Tri-borough system (but under Church Street instead of Greenwich Street), as well as a branch along Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 59th Street from Ninth Street north and east to the Queensboro Bridge; the Canal Street subway was to merge with the Broadway Line instead of continuing to the Hudson River. The city, the BRT, and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (which operated the first subway and four elevated lines in Manhattan) came to an agreement, and sent a report to the New York City Board of Estimate on June 5, 1911. The line along Broadway to 59th Street was assigned to the BRT, while the IRT obtained the Lexington Avenue line, connecting with its existing route at Grand Central–42nd Street. Construction began on Lexington Avenue on July 31, and on Broadway the next year. The Dual Contracts, two operating contracts between the city and the BMT and IRT, were adopted on March 4, 1913.

Unused construction is also present near the west end of the Queensboro Bridge. The original plan there was to build two one-track tunnels under 59th and 60th Streets, rising onto the bridge to Queens. However, on July 28, 1915, the Public Service Commission approved a change of plans requested by the New York City Board of Estimate to place both tracks under 60th Street and cross the East River in the 60th Street Tunnel, because of concern whether or not the bridge could handle the weight of all-steel subway trains. A piece of the 59th Street tunnel had already been built, concurrent with the construction of the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, and became a walkway connecting the two side platforms of the IRT's 59th Street station.

This station opened on September 1, 1919 as the new terminal of the Broadway Line with an extension of the line from 57th Street–Seventh Avenue station. This station ceased to be the line's terminal with the extension of the line to Queensboro Plaza through the 60th Street Tunnel on August 1, 1920.

Station renovations
The IRT station originally served local trains only. In Fiscal Year 1930, a crossunder under the local tracks was opened, connecting the southbound and northbound platforms. This passageway was funded by Bloomingdale's and was dedicated on November 11, 1930. The city government took over the BMT's operations on June 1, 1940, and the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940.

On November 4, 1954, the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) approved plans to convert 59th Street into an express station. The project was proposed by the executive director of the NYCTA, Sidney Bingham, to improve connections between the Lexington Avenue Line and the Broadway Line. Construction was expected to take two years and cost $5 million. The new express stop was expected to reduce transfer congestion at Grand Central–42nd Street. Even before the express platforms were added, this station was the busiest on the line.

Construction for the express station began on August 10, 1959. Along with the new express platforms, a new mezzanine was built above it to connect it to the local station, and the Broadway Line station. Two high speed escalators were added to connect the local and express platforms. Two additional high speed escalators were built to connect the local platforms with the new mezzanine. The express station opened three months earlier than originally planned. As part of the plan, the local platforms were extended to accommodate 10-car trains. In addition, new entrances and booths were added to the 59th Street ends of the northbound and southbound sides. The whole cost of the project was $6.5 million. Work on the express station at 59th Street, required express trains to run local during late nights. The express platforms were opened on November 15, 1962.

The Third Avenue entrance to the Broadway Line platform was constructed during the early 1970s as part of a project to extend the station's platform to accommodate ten-car trains. The entrance, which opened in October 1973, has the same red tile that was used during renovation of Bowling Green in 1978. It has up and down escalators and an adjoining staircase, and is open part-time only, with four street staircases on Third Avenue.

In 2002, the Broadway Line station received a major overhaul. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) repaired the staircases, re-tiled the walls, added new tiling on the floors, upgraded the station's lights and the public address system, and installed ADA yellow safety threads along the platform edge, new signs, and new trackbeds in both directions. The original late 1910s tiling at the Lexington Avenue Line local platforms and the Broadway Line platform being restored, and the original tiling at the Lexington Avenue Line express platforms being covered up with new tiling. Despite the repairs, the project did not make the station ADA-accessible.

In 2019, the MTA announced that the station would become ADA-accessible as part of the agency's 2020–2024 Capital Program.

Station layout

The center level is located at the 60th Street/Lexington Avenue end. Installed in conjunction with the 1962 opening of the lower level IRT express platforms, it allows transfer between all routes. There are three staircases up to the BMT platform, two down to each of the lower level IRT  express platforms, and one staircase and escalator up to the IRT local platforms on the upper level.

Artwork
The mezzanine between the IRT express platforms and the BMT platform has a large-scale mosaic mural entitled Blooming (1996), by Elizabeth Murray. It covers all four walls of the mezzanine area. It takes its name from the nearby Bloomingdale's department store. The mosaic features larger versions of the coffee cups and slippers found on the platform walls, with the text: "In dreams begin responsibilities" and "Conduct your blooming in the noise and whip of the whirlwind".  The text floats from the coffee cups and are excerpted from poetry by Delmore Schwartz and Gwendolyn Brooks. Additional, mini shoe mosaics can be found on the IRT express platforms.

This is one of two murals Murray made for MTA Arts & Design; the other, Stream, can be found at Court Square/23rd Street.

Entrances and exits
The complex has a total of 11 staircase entrances. There are staircases to the Broadway Line platform and that are signed for the northbound Lexington Avenue Line platform at the eastern corners of 60th Street and Lexington Avenue, and staircases to the Broadway Line platform and that are signed for the southbound Lexington Avenue Line platform at the western corners of 60th Street and Lexington Avenue. Staircases from the southbound Lexington Avenue Line platform lead to the southwestern and northwestern corners of Lexington Avenue and 59th Street, while there are two exits to the southeastern corner of that intersection from the northbound platform, with one leading directly to the street, and one located in a passageway to Bloomingdale's. The station also has staircases to all four corners of Third Avenue and 60th Street, leading to a mezzanine with escalators for the Broadway Line platform.

IRT Lexington Avenue Line platforms

The 59th Street station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line is an express station. It has two stacked levels, each of which has two tracks and two side platforms. The upper level is used by local trains, and the lower level is used by express trains. The levels are separated by the BMT Broadway Line's platform directly underneath the local platforms and a mezzanine between the BMT platform and the express level. Long escalators connect the local and express platforms directly.

The station used to have all green tile which has been covered up except for one "59th Street" sign near the south end of the northbound platform. There are whimsical stylized mosaics of coffee cups and slippers in varied colors at random spacing near the stairways to the Broadway and IRT local trains. This station was renovated in conjunction with the construction of the Bloomberg Tower at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. Although a new entrance was constructed within the building, it has remained closed due to fears of icicle formation on a railing that is part of the building's design, directly above the street entrance. A legal battle between the city and the building's management over who is responsible for modifying the design caused the entrance to be temporarily closed between 2003 and 2006.

There is a direct exit to Bloomingdale's from the uptown local platform's fare control (this exit was used in the 2008 film Cloverfield). The underpass near the south end of the station was originally the northbound platform for the extension of the BMT Broadway Line to Queens. That line had been planned as two separate, one-track tunnels, one each under 59th and 60th Streets. Later on, it was decided to alter this layout in favor of a single two-track tunnel under 60th Street. The semi-completed platform under 59th Street was then converted to an underpass between the north and southbound platforms of the Lexington Avenue Line local tracks.

On the upper level, north of the station, there is a storage/lay up track between the two tracks. It ends at a bumper block at its north end. It merges with the two local tracks on its southern end.

BMT Broadway Line platform

The Lexington Avenue−59th Street station on the BMT Broadway Line has two tracks and one island platform, and two mezzanines. The Lexington Avenue mezzanine has two staircases to each of the IRT local platforms, an escalator to the downtown platform, and three staircases down to the center level.

The distinctive "Lex" mosaics were preserved during the renovation, by installing pre-arranged blocks along the station wall that cup the Lexington Avenue Line above it. The wall tiles have the red "Lex" evenly spaced out, similar to the IND style, with blue background, green borders, and white lettering.

Despite its name, the station is located on Lexington Avenue and 60th Street, one block north of 59th Street. Originally, the Broadway subway was to run to Queens over the Queensboro Bridge. Because the side streets are so narrow, the Queens-bound track was to run under 59th Street and the downtown-bound track under 60th Street. The Broadway subway plan was changed in 1915 to route both tracks into 60th Street and to cross the East River by a tunnel just north of the Queensboro Bridge. The 59th Street crossing was now useless, and at 60th Street, the subway would have to be at a lower grade on its way to the 60th Street Tunnel. The 59th Street crossing was converted into a pedestrian underpass for the IRT station, and is still in use for that purpose; its floor level is that of the never-completed BMT station. The 60th Street crossing was mostly destroyed when the existing station was built at a lower grade. A door in the southern wall across from the platform opens into a remaining unused space, and suggests the platform level of the original grade, which is the same as the 59th Street underpass.

"For whatever," he said, an earnest smile on his face. CJ and I had a complicated relationship. There was a mutually acknowledged attraction between us, and I'd shared the two very best kisses of my life with him. Unfortunately, it just wasn't part of my plan to get involved with someone at work—for a whole slew of reasons. So despite our incredible chemistry, we were doing our best to enjoy a friendship instead. But CJ made no secret of his desire for more.
"Let's start with lunch. I need to get out of here," I said, grabbing my bag and coat.
"I'll take whatever I can get." CJ didn't move as I approached the door of my office, and I had to squeeze between him and the doorframe. The proximity allowed me to get close enough to smell the minty leathery scent that surrounded him. My nerves always started firing when I got that close to him, and I pushed past him quickly, blushing. He stood still just a beat longer as I waited for him to get going, and I was fairly certain that he had leaned in to smell my hair before finally stepping from the doorway.
We wandered to a Korean barbecue that was on the second floor of a nearby building. I would never have ventured in on my own—the signs were in Korean and the place was clearly a favorite with those who knew what constituted good Korean. Luckily, CJ had done this before.
We were seated in a private booth next to the window overlooking the street below. A small grill was built into the table in front of us, and CJ grinned at me as I looked around with great interest.
"I'm glad you're not a vegetarian," he said.
"Nope. Totally carnivorous." I smiled, part of me embarrassed. When I was with CJ, it seemed like even my most innocuous statements took on an unintended sexual tone. "Why, will this be a meat-heavy meal?" There it was again. I flushed.
Our lunch arrived, and it turned out that we would be cooking it ourselves. The grill in the middle was lit for us and each of us had a long fork that we used to put strips of raw meat onto the grill and pull them off. We also had kimchi to compliment the meat. It was a unique experience, and I found CJ smiling at me at several points as I tended to my barbecuing.

ATLETICO (IRE) is a 6 year old GELDING which was most recently trained by David Evans. This GELDING was foaled in 2012, and is by the sire KODIAC (GB) and dam QUEENOFTHEFAIRIES (GB).
Whenever an item is posted to this site relating to ATLETICO (IRE) it will be listed below, in reverse chronological order (the most recently listed items will be nearest the top of this page, below).


– Credit score (from Latin credit score, "(he/she/it) thinks") would be the rely on which permits just one get together to provide income or assets to a different celebration the place that 2nd bash isn't going to reimburse the 1st occasion quickly (thereby making a personal debt), but instead guarantees both to repay or return People resources (or other resources of equivalent price) at a later on date. To put it differently, credit history is actually a means of creating reciprocity formal, legally enforceable, and extensible to a substantial group of unrelated people.
. The resources offered could possibly be money (e.g. granting a bank loan), or They might include goods or solutions (e.g. buyer credit rating). Credit rating encompasses any method of deferred payment. Credit rating is prolonged by a creditor, also called a lender, to a debtor, generally known as a borrower.
Lender-issued credit rating makes up the most important proportion of credit history in existence. The normal perspective of banking companies as intermediaries in between savers and borrower is incorrect. Fashionable banking is about credit history development. Credit score is made up of two sections, the credit score (money) and its corresponding credit card debt, which needs repayment with fascination. The majority (97% as of December 2018) of the money in britain financial state is established as credit history. Each time a financial institution concerns credit rating (i.e. makes a financial loan), it writes a negative entry into your liabilities column of its equilibrium sheet, and an equivalent good figure over the property column; the asset becoming the bank loan repayment earnings stream (additionally fascination) from a credit history-worthy individual. If the credit card debt is totally repaid, the credit history and personal debt are cancelled, and The cash disappears from your economy. In the meantime, the debtor receives a favourable funds equilibrium (that is utilised to get a thing similar to a household), but will also an equivalent damaging legal responsibility to become repaid into the bank more than the period. Most of the credit designed goes into the acquisition of land and assets, developing inflation in Those people markets, and that is A serious driver on the financial cycle.
Every time a financial institution produces credit history, it correctly owes the money to itself. If a lender troubles excessive lousy credit rating (These debtors who will be not able to fork out it back again), the financial institution will come to be insolvent; owning a lot more liabilities than belongings. Which the bank hardly ever experienced the money to lend to start with is immaterial – the banking license affords banking companies to generate credit rating – what issues is a financial institution's complete property are increased than its whole liabilities, and that it is Keeping sufficient liquid belongings – including income – to fulfill its obligations to its debtors. If it fails To accomplish this it challenges bankruptcy.
There are two key varieties of personal credit history developed by banks; unsecured (non-collateralized) credit rating for instance client credit cards and modest unsecured financial loans, and secured (collateralized) credit history, ordinarily secured from the product currently being ordered with The cash (house, boat, auto, etcetera.). To scale back their exposure to the chance of not receiving their money back (credit rating default), banking institutions will often situation significant credit history sums to These deemed credit rating-deserving, as well as to involve collateral; something of equivalent price to your mortgage, which is able to be handed on the lender Should the debtor fails to fulfill the repayment phrases of the financial loan. During this occasion, the bank takes advantage of sale in the collateral to cut back its liabilities. Examples of secured credit rating include things like client mortgages used to acquire houses, boats etc., and PCP (personalized deal program) credit agreements for auto buys.
Actions of economic funds are Generally depending on either credit history or fairness transfers. The worldwide credit score sector is three times the dimensions of worldwide fairness. Credit is in turn depending on the name or creditworthiness from the entity which takes duty to the money. Credit can also be traded in monetary marketplaces. The purest form will be the credit score default swap market, which is actually a traded market in credit score coverage. A credit rating default swap represents the value at which two parties exchange this danger – the security seller will take the potential risk of default of your credit history in return to get a payment, normally denoted in foundation points (one basis position is 1/one hundred of the p.c) on the notional amount of money to be referenced, though the defense consumer pays this premium and in the case of default of your underlying (a loan, bond or other receivable), provides this receivable to the protection vendor and receives from the seller the par volume (that is definitely, is produced whole).
Client credit card debt may be defined as "revenue, items or expert services presented to a person inside the absence of rapid payment". Typical kinds of shopper credit score include charge cards, retailer playing cards, motor vehicle finance, individual loans (installment loans), customer strains of credit history, retail loans (retail installment financial loans) and home loans. It is a wide definition of customer credit score and corresponds While using the Bank of England's definition of "Lending to individuals". Presented the dimensions and mother nature on the house loan sector, lots of observers classify property finance loan lending to be a separate group of non-public borrowing, and For that reason residential mortgages are excluded from some definitions of purchaser credit score, including the 1 adopted because of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The price of credit is the extra amount of money, more than and over the amount borrowed, which the borrower must pay out. It consists of desire, arrangement service fees and some other rates. Some fees are mandatory, required with the lender being an integral A part of the credit history settlement. Other costs, such as All those for credit score insurance plan, may be optional; the borrower chooses whether or not They are really provided as Element of the settlement.
Desire as well as other expenses are presented in a number of various ways, but underneath several legislative regimes lenders are needed to estimate all required expenses in the shape of the once-a-year proportion amount (APR). The goal of your APR calculation is to advertise "truth of the matter in lending", to offer possible borrowers a clear evaluate in the legitimate price of borrowing and to permit a comparison for being created among competing products. The APR is derived in the pattern of developments and repayments designed in the course of the settlement. Optional charges are frequently not A part of the APR calculation.
Fascination premiums on loans to customers, no matter whether home loans or charge cards, are most often established with reference to your credit rating rating. Calculated by non-public credit score rating agencies or centralized credit bureaus dependant on components such as prior defaults, payment history and readily available credit history, persons with better scores are usually given a reduce APR than These with reduced scores.
It's a greatly-held misconception that those with superior credit rating have a far better grasp of controlling their funds. In a very modern consumer study from Marcus by Goldman Sachs®*, 34 per cent of customers with fantastic credit (FICO 660 and above) are in credit card personal debt and forty one per cent watch charge card debt as a place they wished that they had additional Command in excess of.

More information about Peru is available on the Peru Page and from other Department of State publications and other sources listed at the end of this fact sheet.
The United States established diplomatic relations with Peru in 1827, six years after Peru's independence from Spain. The United States and Peru enjoy a strategic partnership based on the shared values and interests of democracy, security, mutually beneficial trade, and human rights. The United States partners with Peru in support of Peru's aspirations for regional and global leadership, and to continue the fight against transnational criminal organizations, promote economic opportunities for U.S. businesses, and strengthen citizen safety and security. Vice President Mike Pence attended the 2018 Summit of the Americas, which was hosted in Lima.
The United States and Peru have a strong law enforcement and security relationship. In 2018, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Lima celebrated 40 years of bilateral cooperation in the fight against narco-trafficking and organized crime, and collaboration toward the enhanced peace and security of our two nations. The United States provided $85 million in Foreign Assistance funds to Peru in Fiscal Year 2018. These funds support shared U.S. and Peruvian priorities, including countering narcotics production and trafficking, combatting transnational criminal organizations and environmental crimes, promoting effective governance and rule of law, and supporting continued defense cooperation. In recognition of these shared priorities, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and First Lady Melania Trump honored Peru's National Coordinator for Environmental Prosecutors in March 2019 as one of ten recipients of the International Women of Courage award for her efforts to prosecute criminal organizations engaged in illegal mining and illegal logging.
Since 2006, the Department of Defense Southern Command, through its Humanitarian Assistance Program, has invested over $44 million in 277 projects in Peru including the construction of 15 Regional Emergency Operations Centers. At the request of the Peruvian government, the U.S. State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development have provided more than $13 million to support humanitarian assistance efforts in Peru in response to the continuing influx of Venezuelan refugees and migrants.
More than 4,000 Peace Corps volunteers have served in Peru since 1962 and continue to work with their communities on projects focused on the environment, community economic development, health, and youth development. The Fulbright Program in Peru plans and administers Fulbright Program educational exchanges. Through a network of eight binational centers, with a total of 35 branch offices countrywide, the United States provides opportunities for English instruction, educational exchange, and cultural outreach to almost one million Peruvians a year.
Since 2001, Peru has received through the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation over $2 million toward 26 projects throughout Peru.
Economic and commercial ties have deepened with the 2009 entry into force of the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA), a cornerstone of the bilateral relationship. The PTPA sets high standards for both countries on market access, investment safeguards, intellectual property rights, and environmental and labor rights protections. Two-way trade in goods between the United States and Peru has increased from $9.1 billion in 2009 to $17.5 billion in 2018, driving growth and employment in both countries. Two-way agricultural trade more than doubled since implementation of the PTPA, from $1.3 billion in 2009 to $3.9 billion in calendar year (CY) 2018. U.S. food and agricultural exports to Peru grew from $530 million in CY 2009 to more than $1 billion in 2016. The number of U.S. citizen visitors to Peru increased 40 percent in the last five years and now exceeds 570,000 per year. Approximately 3,200 Peruvian students study in the United States each year.
Principal U.S. Embassy officials are listed in the Department's Key Officers List.
The U.S. Embassy maintains a Consular Agency in Cusco for emergency and other services to U.S. citizens resident or traveling to the Cusco region.
Peru maintains an embassy in the United States at 1700 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036; tel. (202) 833-9860. The Embassy of Peru in the United States provides consular services through its Consulates General in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Hartford, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Washington, and New York.


The Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes on Monday decided to again extend the socio-economic and educational survey, also called caste census, by five days in the BBMP limits.
The Commission has been forced to extend the census as it failed to achieve 100 per cent coverage in the capital. "The enumerators in Bengaluru will continue the house-to-house census till May 15. We could not cover all the households by May 10. Hence, the Commission decided to extend the census," Commission chairman H Kantharaju said.
He said about 93.5 per cent of 23.36 lakh households in the BBMP limits have been covered till Saturday. Directions will be issued to 18,000 enumerators in the BBMP limits to thoroughly verify the list of households to be covered and ensure that they get authentic information from those people, he added. He said the Commission is yet to obtain information on the coverage till Sunday.
It is for the third time the census has been extended in the BBMP limits. It was originally planned to be conducted between April 11 and 30 in the State. But it was later extended by five days in the BBMP limits and three days in other parts of the State due to poor coverage. The Commission again extended it till May 10 in the BBMP limits and other parts where the coverage was poor.
The Commission has, however, deferred taking discussion on a proposal to introduce an online system to help those who have been left out of the census to provide information. "We are still exploring the possibility. It will be difficult to obtain signature of the person who uploads information under the online system. Appropriate decision will be taken after the census work is over," Kantharaju added.

\section{Introduction}

   Understanding the formation and evolution of the first galaxies is one of the major topics of modern astronomy. Since a dozen years, many projects and instruments have been developped to push the boundaries of the observed Universe, such as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field \citep{2003AAS...202.1705B} for example. The role played by the first luminous objects in the Universe during the cosmic reionization is still unclear. One way to explore the first epochs is to constrain the number density of galaxies along the cosmic time, and thus establish the Star Formation History (SFH) which represents the evolution of the Star Formation Rate density (SFRd) over the cosmic time. Two complementary approaches could be adopted to further constrain the luminosity function : large blank fields to select the brightest sources, and lensing clusters used as gravitational telescopes to select the faintest ones. Our group has conducted an observing program combining these two approches aimed at selecting $z\sim$ 7-10 candidates accessible to spectroscopy, namely the WIRCAM Ultra Deep Survey (WUDS) at CFHT on the CFHTLS-D3 Groth Strip field (Pello et al., to be submitted), and a lensing survey (\citealt{Laporte2011}, hereafter L11), which is central to this letter.

   The galaxy Luminosity Function (LF) is relatively well constrained up to $z\sim$6. Beyond this limit however the contamination by low-$z$ interlopers becomes more severe because a majority of samples are only supported by photometric considerations, and therefore the results at these redshifts could be seriously affected by contamination \citep{2011A&A...534A.124B}.
The only way to get rid of this problem is to spectroscopically confirm, if not all, at least a substantial fraction of sources in a given sample, a performance beyond the capabilities of present-day facilities. Only the brightest samples, including highly magnified sources, could be presently confirmed. Fortunately, the intermediate-to-bright accessible domain (M$_{UV}\sim$-20.5 to -22) is also the most sensitive region of the LF, where most of the evolution is currently observed as a function of redshift (e.g. Bouwens et al.\ 2010). However, at $z\sim$7-8 the LF started to be set with recent observations from ground based or space observatories (such as \citealt{2012arXiv1201.0755O}, \citealt{2011MNRAS.418.2074M}, \citealt{2010A&A...524A..28C}). Some attempts have been tried up to $z\sim$10 but without spectroscopic confirmation \citep{2011Natur.469..504B}.

    Deep images of the lensing cluster A2667 were obtained with ESO/VLT FORS 2 and HAWK-I in $I$, $z$, $Y$, $J$, $H$ and $Ks$ bands. All details regarding these observations and data reduction can be found in L11. IRAC data between 3.6 and 8$\mu $m, and MIPS 24$\mu $m were also included in the analysis when available (Spitzer Space Telescope, \citealt{2004ApJS..154....1W}, \citealt{2004ApJS..154...10F}, \citealt{2004ApJS..154...25R}). Based on these data, 10 photometric candidates at $z\sim$7-10 were selected based on the usual dropout technique. Among them, only one candidate, J1, is consistent with the z$\sim$9 $J-$drop selection criteria, with observed m$_H$=25.21$\pm$0.08 and a modest magnification factor $\mu$=1.3. Despite an excellent fit of the photometric SED at high-$z$, the reliability of this source was already considered as dubious by L11 given the detection of a faint compact counterpart on the HST F850LP/ACS image, with $z_{850}=$27.39$\pm$0.18. J1 was recently confirmed as a $z$=2.082 interloper based on the detection of 5 emission lines ( $[$OIII$]\lambda$5007,4959, H$\alpha$, H$\beta$ and Ly$\alpha$) with ESO/VLT X-Shooter spectroscopy (see \citealt{Hayes2012}, submitted, for more details).

	In this letter we report on new constraints on the LF at $z\sim$9 based on the non-detection of realiable $J-$dropout candidates over the field of view towards the lensing cluster A2667. The largest magnification regimes cannot be addressed with a single cluster because the effective surfaces/volumes explored in this domain are too small to retrieve significant results. Therefore, this study is limited to the low to moderate magnification regime, where this pilot study provides the most interesting results on the LF as compared to previous studies, in particular blank-field surveys. In Sect.\ \ref{results} we introduce the method used to constrain the bright-end of the LF at $z\sim$9, in particular to determine the lens-corrected effective volume and the corresponding upper-limit on the density of sources. The constraints derived on the SFH at $z\sim$9 are presented in Sect.\ \ref{SFRd}. A brief discussion and
conclusions are given in Sect.\ \ref{conclusion}. Throughout this paper, a concordance cosmology is adopted, with $\Omega_{\Lambda}=0.7$, $\Omega_{m}=0.3$ and $H_{0}=70\ km\ s^{-1}\ Mpc^{-1}$. All magnitudes are given in the AB system \citep{1983ApJ...266..713O}.

\section{The luminosity function at $z\sim$9}
\label{results}

    The non-detection of realiable $J-$ dropout candidates over the field of view toward A2667 is used in this Section to carefully determine the lens-corrected effective volume at $z\sim$9 and the corresponding upper-limits on the density of sources. In the following, we only consider the field of view corresponding to the surface covered with more than 75\% of the total exposure time in all filters. A mask was also applied to remove all the noisy regions within and around galaxies from the subsequent analysis. The region masked is only $\sim$12\% of the total area, but it reaches a maximum of $\sim$30\% in the cluster core, within the 1arcmin$^2$ centered on the cD galaxy. The final effective area is $\sim$36arcmin$^2$.

    The selection criteria adopted by L11 for $8.5\lesssim z \lesssim 9.5$ candidates require a detection above 5$\sigma$ level within a 1.3\arcsec \ diameter aperture in $H$, i.e. $H<$ 26.22, and the usual color selection as follows: $J-H>0.76$, $H-Ks<0.5$, and $J-H>1.3\times(H-Ks)+0.76$. In practice, the depth in the $J-$band limits the reliability of the $J-$dropout selection to $H<$ 26.0, corresponding to a completeness level higher than 90\%. Absolute magnitudes in the $\sim$1500\AA \ domain (M$_{1500}$) are derived from $H-$band magnitudes assuming a flat spectrum.

    As compared to blank fields, data obtained in gravitational-lensing fields need to be corrected for both magnification and dilution effects. A magnification factor $\mu$ introduces an enhancement on the observed luminosity, depending on the redshift of the source and the location of the image on the sky, without modifying the color-selection window. Dilution reduces the effective surface covered by the survey, in such a way that a pixel affected by a magnification factor $\mu$ has an effective area reduced by the same factor on the corresponding source plane. We have used the lensing model for A2667 originally obtained by \citet{2006A&A...456..409C} to compute the magnification map at $z\sim$9 using the public software \textit{Lenstool}\footnote{{\tt http://www.oamp.fr/cosmology/lenstool}}, including the MCMC optimization method of \citet{2007NJPh....9..447J}. We explicitly compute the effective surface probed by the survey through a pixel-to-pixel integration of the magnification map, after masking the pixels lying in the object's mask, as explained above. The effective surface is 32.55 arcmin$^2$, corresponding to a covolume of 57602.5 Mpc$^3$ between $z\sim$8.5 and 9.5.

    The effective limiting magnitude for the detection of $z\sim$9 candidates, however, depends on the magnification factor $\mu$. To take this effect into account when deriving upper-limits on the density of sources, we have considered different magnification regimes, with effective surface/covolume decreasing with increasing $\mu$. Table\ \ref{LF_points} summarizes these results and provides the non-detection constraints obtained on the LF. Areas, volumes and limiting magnitudes quoted in this table are effective lens-corrected ones. Given the low to moderate magnification regimes explored in this study, uncertainties in the effective surveyed volumes due to lensing-modeling uncertainties are considered negligible (see also Maizy et al. 2010 for details). The strongest limit is obtained for $\Phi$(M$_{1500}$=-21.4$\pm$0.50)$<$6.70$\times$10$^{-6}$Mpc$^{-3}$ at 68\% confidence level assuming Poissonian statistics. Figure\ \ref{LFz9_plot} displays the independent data points on the LF, together with previous results from the literature. We also computed points from \citet{2012arXiv1204.2305Z}, for comparison purpose, using MC approach taking into account the probability distribution in redshift \citep{2002A&A...395..443B} and considering two different values for the magnification : $\mu\sim$15, as reported by the authors, and $\mu\sim$8, as obtained from the MACS1149+22 model by \citet{2009ApJ...707L.163S}.

\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

    We have adopted the Schechter parametrization of the LF \citep{1976ApJ...203..297S}:
\begin{equation}
\Phi(M_{1500})=\Phi^{\star}\frac{\ln(10)}{2.5}\Big(10^{-0.4(M-M^{\star})}\Big)^{\alpha + 1} \exp{\Big(-10^{-0.4(M-M^{\star})}\Big)}
\end{equation}
to set constraints on M$^{\star}$ using a $\chi^2$ minimization, assuming a fixed $\alpha=$-1.74 \citep{2008ApJ...686..230B}. Our two independent limits in $\Phi$ at M$_{1500}=$-21.35 and -20.44 have been combined to the available upper limits from the HUDF and GOODS fields at the same redshift domain than in \citet{2008ApJ...686..230B}. As shown in Fig.\ \ref{LFz9_plot}, given the degeneracy between $\Phi^{\star}$ and M$^{\star}$, and the small number of available data points at $z\sim$9, we can only derive a limit for $\Phi^{\star}$ when assuming M$^{\star}$ or vice-versa. It has been shown that $\Phi^{\star}$ seems not evolve significatively from $z\sim$4 to 9, whereas M$^{\star}$ clearly decreases over $z\sim$4-8 (e.g. \citet{2011arXiv1109.0994B}). Assuming this no-evolution, we have used a fixed $\Phi^{\star}=$1.10$\times$10$^{-3}$Mpc$^{-3}$ and we obtain M$^{\star}>$-19.7. This result is also consistent with previous findings (\citet{2008ApJ...686..230B}).

\section{The star formation history up to $z\sim$9}
\label{SFRd}

    The SFH could be explored through the evolution of the SFRd over the cosmic time. Using the shape of the LF found in the previous section, we are now able to constrain the SFRd at $z\sim$9. This density is deduced from the UV density produced by Lyman Break galaxies and usually defined by :
\begin{equation}
\rho_{UV} = \int^{\infty}_{0.05L^{\star}_{z=3}} L_{1500}\Phi(L_{1500}) dL_{1500}
\end{equation}
where $L^{\star}_{z=3}$ =1.33$\times$10$^{41}$erg s$^{-1}$ $\AA^{-1}$ and
$\Phi(L_{1500})$ is the UV LF. The lower integration bound was chosen in order to facilitate the comparison with previous studies (see Sect.\ \ref{conclusion}).
The conversion between UV density and SFRd is done using the \citet{1998ApJ...498..541K} relation given by :
\begin{equation}
\rho_{SFR}(\text{M$_{\odot}$.yr$^{-1}$.Mpc$^{-3}$})=1.40\,10^{-28}\times\rho_{UV}(\text{erg.s$^{-1}$.Mpc$^{-3}$.$\AA^{-1}$})
\end{equation}

   As a result, the SFRd limit at $z\sim$9 is found, using M$^{\star}$=-19.7, to be $\rho_{SFR}<$5.97$\times$10$^{-3}$M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{3}$. Fig.~\ref{SFH} shows the evolution of the SFRd versus cosmic time including results already published over a large range in redshift. For consistency, all points in this figure up to $z\sim$7 have been corrected for dust extinction (at $z\ge$8 we considered that dust attenuation is negligible). A parameterization as a function of redshift has been derived based on the expression for dust extinction given by \citet{2005ApJ...619L..47S} as a function of the UV slope, the evolution of which as a function of redshift is taken from \citet{2005ApJ...619L..47S}  for $z\le$3.5, and extended from$z\sim$3.5 up to 7 according to \citet{2011arXiv1109.0994B}. The expression\footnote{$\rho_{\star}$ = $\frac{a+b\times z}{1+(\frac{z}{c})^d}$h \hspace{0.2cm} M$_{\odot}$.yr$^{-1}$.Mpc$^{-3}$} given by \citet{2001MNRAS.326..255C} is used to fit the SFH, in order to compare the above value of $\rho_{SFR}$ with the trend observed between $z\sim$3 and 8. The best-fit parameters of the Cole function are found to be a=0.0, b=0.10, c=2.85 and d=4.65. As seen in Fig.~\ref{SFH}, our result is compatible with the evolution observed below $z\sim$8, and it is also consistent with the SFRd limit published at $z\sim$10 by \citet{2011Natur.469..504B}.

\section{Discussion and Conclusions}
\label{conclusion}

    Over the $\sim$36arcmin$^2$ field of view of our survey around the lensing cluster A2667, only one $J-$dropout candidate was retained (L11). This source, already considered as a possible interloper by L11, has been recently confirmed at $z$=2.082 based on the detection of five emission lines with ESO/VLT X-Shooter spectroscopy (see Hayes et al., submitted, for more details). The non-detection of $J-$dropout candidates in our survey is consistent with previous non-detections reported by \citet{2008ApJ...686..230B} in the HDF, HUDF and GOODS fields (4.8, 9.1 and 9.3 arcmin$^2$ respectively), with m$_H$ (5$\sigma$, 0.6arcsec aperture) typically ranging between $\sim$27.6 to 26.6, and also complementary in terms of surface covered and effective depth.

   Assuming that there is no reliable $z\sim$9 candidate in our survey up to m$_H$=26.0$+$2.5$\times$log($\mu$), we take benefit from the depth and large area covered to set strong constraints on the bright-end of the LF and hence on the SFH at very high redshift by a careful determination of the lens-corrected effective volume and corresponding upper-limits on the density of sources. We have considered different magnification regimes, with effective surface/covolume decreasing with increasing $\mu$. The strongest limit is obtained for $\Phi$(M$_{1500}$=-21.4$\pm$0.50)$<$6.70$\times$10$^{-6}$Mpc$^{-3}$mag$^{-1}$ at 68\% confidence level assuming Poissonian statistics.

   We combined our two independent LF limits at M$_{1500}=$-21.35 and -20.44 with the available upper limits for the HUDF and GOODS fields, extracted from \citet{2008ApJ...686..230B}, to derive the Schechter parameters for the LF. Assuming a fixed $\alpha=$-1.74 and no-evolution in $\Phi^{\star}=$1.10$\times$10$^{-3}$Mpc$^{-3}$, we obtain a constrain on M$^{\star}>$-19.7. This result is consistent with previous findings, e.g. \citet{2008ApJ...686..230B}, \citet{2010A&A...524A..28C} (M$^{\star}$($z\sim$7)$\approx$-20.24) and \citet{2012arXiv1201.0755O} (M$^{\star}$($z\sim$8)$\approx$-19.80). The corresponding SFRd given the previous LF should be $\rho_{SFR}<$5.97$\times$10$^{-3}$M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{3}$ at $z\sim$9. These results are in good agreement with the most recent estimates already published in this range of redshift and for this luminosity domain, and confirm the decrease in the density of luminous galaxies from $z\sim$6 to 9, hence providing strong constraints for the design of future surveys aiming to explore the very high-redshift Universe.

    Several projects such as CLASH \citep{2011arXiv1106.3328P} or CANDELS \citep{2011ApJS..197...35G} are currently ongoing to constrain the evolution of galaxies beyond $z\sim$6. However, all samples highlighted by these projects need to be confirmed by deep spectroscopic observations beyond the limits of current spectrographs. Near-IR spectrographs are also needed to understand the nature of (extreme) mid-$z$ interlopers presently found in such deep surveys. The arrival of multi-object near-IR facilities such as EMIR/GTC (\citealt{2000SPIE.4008..797B}, \citealt{2011sf2a.conf..161P}) or KMOS/VLT (\citealt{2006NewAR..50..370S}, \citealt{2010SPIE.7735E..39S}) will introduce a substantial progress in this area. Given the results presented in this paper, increasing by a factor of $\sim$10 the sample of lensing clusters with deep multi-wavelength photometry over a large field of view, similar to our survey in A2667, is expected to set crucial constraints on the intermediate-to-high luminosity domain at z$\sim$7-10, and substantially improve the selection of spectroscopic targets. Such a cluster sample will provide a reference frame allowing to connect the results obtained in blank fields with those obtained in the strongest magnification regimes, as shown in this letter.

Introducing Brendan Murphy
Brendan Murphy is a man of many talents. As well as being a world-renowned artist, he's the founder of athletic wear brand Solfire, social activist, and previously worked as both a pro basketball player and Wall Street trader. Born in Bloomington in Indiana, Murphy began his artistic career in New York City and cut his teeth by mentoring under the famous painters Eric Fischl, David Salle, and Ross Bleckner.
"I was fortunate that I had friends who were very famous painters, Eric Fischl for example," Murphy recently told Forbes. "I would hit tennis balls with him in exchange to go to his studio to see his work. Also, David Salle and Robert Bleckner, I got a crash course with two or three of the best painters in the world and I began to experiment with different materials and that just kickstarted the entire process."
The next step for Murphy was opening a studio in Brooklyn and pushing his creativity to new limits by experimenting with different forms including sculpture, concept pieces and a huge variety of techniques, tools and materials. His own distinctive style is influenced by his painterly background, but also by more abstract concepts such as equations which frequently feature in his work no doubt inspired by his Wall Street experiences.
In pieces like "Passion 22" and "Desire Moments" Murphy juxtaposes scraps of formulae and apparent calculations with bursts of human emotion, depicted as scrawlings on a chalkboard. The overall impression is of someone who is questioning life from all its angles, and trying to make sense of human existence as a holistic whole.
In another iconic canvas entitled "Rock N Roll" Murphy mixes the modern obsession with sneakers with complex formulae and intransient concepts like "magic" and "mystery". Reminiscent of Basquiat's canvases, in Murphy's work there is constantly a sense of something profound being worked out in his art, a solution or reality that inspires the viewer to go deeper and examine their own emotions.
"My work has a lot going on," explains Murphy, "so I think people do have to spend a lot of time observing and dissecting what's in front of them. I want the viewer to feel inspired and more in tune with their emotions. I hope people look at my work and feel encouraged to embrace the unknown."
Today Murphy is based out of his studios in Malibu and Miami with work currently represented in more than 600 collections worldwide including those owned by Giorgio Armani, Serena Williams, Larry Page and Novak Djokovic.

Two years ago, John and I spent our first anniversary in Charleston, and since we were planning to be in Charlotte for Blake and Ginna's wedding, we decided it would be fun to extend the vacation with a third anniversary rendezvous in Charleston. Our official anniversary isn't for a few more weeks, but we decided it was too great an opportunity to pass up!
ONE | When John and I first got into Charleston, we headed to Folly Beach for some relaxing beach and sun. We were both pretty tired from the wedding the night before, so it was a perfect way to enjoy being in South Carolina without too expending much energy.
TWO | After the beach we went back to the hotel and headed into downtown Charleston for dinner at Husk. It was amazing! We had to cancel our original reservations, so we went to the bar area for drinks and food. We highly recommend eating here if you can... the building and decor is rustic and absolutely amazing!
THREE | We woke up early the next day for some serious shopping. We probably shopped a bit too much, but Charleston just has shop after shop (after shop) of amazing boutique shopping. It's hard to stop until you have been to all of them!
FOUR | We had a lunch break at a barbecue joint per John's request. If you know my husband at all, then you are not surprised by this. The man loves his barbecue (I've mentioned this before, but before he had a "real person" resume, he had barbecue listed as an interest on his resume...).
FIVE | One of my favorite buys of the day was a Southern Proper Brittany tie for my husband. Our sweet puppy, Scout, is a Brittany, and we just had to represent her while in Charleston!
SIX | We, of course, did the obligatory walk through the battery and swooned over all of the amazing homes. I mean really, these house are absolutely incredible, grand, and gorgeous. I don't think looking at them would ever grow old!
SEVEN | John was craving seafood so we made reservations at Amen Street Seafood. On our way there we stopped and took a few photos in front of some of the Rainbow Row houses. When we were there for our first anniversary, we had photos taken in front of some of the homes (my button picture, for example) so it was fun to recreate some of the photos.
EIGHT | The next morning we headed back to Folly Beach. It was much less crowded, and we really enjoyed ourselves walking up and down the beach looking at sea shells and enjoying the beautiful morning weather.
We had a fabulous trip, and despite a few difficulties getting home, the trip was pretty much perfect. Every time we go to Charleston we leave feeling like we a had a ton more to see... which makes me look forward to the next time we go!
So jealous! Charleston is on my list of must visit places with the hubby. Now if only we had the free time to be able to go away and see some of these places! Looks like you had a blast though!!
I'd love to visit Charleston! I love cities with plenty of southern charm. haha bbq on the resume - love it! What a fun tie too.
I've always wanted to go to Charleston! I will definitely have to check it out.
Looks like you all had a blast, love all the pics! Charleston is absolutely on my list. One day! And yes, I want details on that yellow dress too please!
How fun! I've never been to Charleston. I would love to go someday! You look great in that yellow dress!
I fell in love with Charleston in March - there is so much to do and see and EAT!! Love your yellow dress - so pretty on you!!
It looks amazing. I want to visit Charleston!
I love Charleston! It's such a pretty place to be, and we went there a lot when I was super little. I need to go back and take the hubby!
I've always wanted to go to Charleston!! Looks like a blast!!! :) happy early anniversary!!
How fun!!! Looks like a great trip! Those pom pom shorts are too cute!!
Sounds awesome! I can't wait to go to Charleston one day, it looks so beautiful!
BBQ really is the best! I can totally get behind your husband having it on his resume ;) One of my favorite things to do when I've been to Charleston is to look at all of the gorgeous houses! It looks like such a great trip!
Sweet tie! Looks like a great trip!
What a great anniversary celebration, definitely looks like a place I need to visit!
Charleston is my absolute favorite! Hubs and I are going to Charleston in August for a long weekend! We are eating dinner at Husk one night so I am so excited to hear it's great!
I love Charleston! The houses are just gorgeous! Happy anniversary!
Sounds like a great way to celebrate your anniversary :) I've never been to Charleston, but it sounds like somewhere I'd like to visit.
Love love love this! We're heading to Charleston for the first time in July for our first anniversary so I'm making lots of notes :) This just made me so excited!
I realllly hope to visit Charleston sometime this summer or fall!!

omg!! my swearing in is on friday!!! YIKES!
today i met my counterpart, her name is gulshat. she seems like a nice lady and hopefully she stays that way because i'll be working with her for the next two years.
so, i did get a cell phone yesterday. but i don't have a number and the phone doesn't work. . .i am also the dumbass that bought the wrong phone card. that's right. i'm an idiot. here's my sad, stupid story: there are two big cell phones companies in kazakhstan, activ and k-mobile. i got activ, and EVERYONE ELSE IN PEACE CORPS in on k-mobile. but luckily, another (more experienced) kaz15 volunteer told me that a lot of people buy both cards and switch them in and out. so, if 1)my phone starts to work or 2)i am able to get a k-mobile card, i'll post my number. no, i won't post it. i'll let people know the number by email. that seems safer. but please remember if you do get a hankering to call me when the phone number is revealed that kazakhstan in 10 ahead of eastern time.
ps - i didn't buy a winter coat. winter in ruskolova is like winter in ohio. i'm gonna stick with the coat that i brought.
i'm not going to lie... the idea that i could call you at 2am here and reach you at noon there is quite appealing.
good luck with the swearing in. and i still want that address when you get it.
So when do you move? When will you have your new address?
Good luck with your swearng in!
You'll be all right Ashli. Congrats!
Look frwd to hear about your new digs.
So, apparently, I'll be following the trend of people who didn't realize that you had a blog going and discovered it only through lurking other people's blogs (thanks, Mark). So you're on the other side of the marble now?? Awesome. Sounds like you're adjusting well. Look at you, pooping in a hole, and I'm over here worried about my 401(k). I guess we are all handling the post-college world in different ways, huh? Keep on rockin' on and show 'stan what us Ohioans are all about. I miss you, you PeaceCorpSuperCommando.
PS: I (nearly) wet myself laughing about the grapes/bread rolls. Right up my alley!
I have to second Judy, you are potty-less and I am over here b*tching about memorizing mortage loan processes and setting up a 401(k) and insurance benefits, geesh. I am so proud of you that you have Stalin-graduated from your training and am excited that you get to start doing what you do best and rocking out like a mo-fo! I love and miss you like Mary Kate misses a caloric intake!!!
mary-kate is perfect and she will NEVER miss caloric intake!!!!!
and since i dont think that this warrents a new blog post-- anyone that wants it can email me for my CELL PHONE NUMBER!! wohoo peace corps! i'm in the third world, living on $35 per month and i have a cell phone!
Golshat. Needs and differrantse* are names for the same bother. Still, even in Ohio and in parts of the several Commonwealths, if you don't need a winter coat, it;ssah (snake sound) never-ever bad, to have one.
Long johns are always a good thing. We even use them in NKY.
For a sideboard, (scoreboard) the Reds beat the Gians 17-3 and the Bengals beat the Redskins 24-18.

President Donald Trump said the use of military force in Venezuela is not off the table yet as the political crisis in the South American nation deepens, adding that he refused to meet with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro several months ago.
In the interview, President Trump also noted that Maduro had asked to meet with him a few months ago, but he denied.
"I've turned it down because we're very far along in the process. You have a young and energetic gentleman, but you have other people within that same group that have been very, very — if you talk about democracy — it's really democracy in action," Trump said.
He cited the "really horrible things" that had been happening in Venezuela as the reason for declining to meet with the country's president.

To push the boundaries of a routine "dinner and a movie" into the realm of art, no need to book a table. The most avant garde dinner party in town has been laid out for you at the Richmond Art Gallery on Friday.
"Spring Table" is a mixed media installation by Caitlin Pickall, an artist-in-residence at Spokane's Laboratory. Pickall's artwork is a communal audio visual experience centered around a blank white table with place settings and chairs beckoning viewers to take a seat. With each seating, a chain reaction begins.
Pickall has rigged all the chairs with sensors that she has constructed and programmed to activate different sounds and video elements when triggered. Depending on who sits where and when, the plates and glasses transform with every new visitor's arrival.
Herbs may start to grow and multiply on the table. The plates may turn bright red and begin to bob in a choppy, blue ocean. Plates and glasses may appear to spin like kaleidoscopes. Or visitors may get the odd feeling they are looking up at towering trees when in fact they are staring down at their plates.
Foods will suddenly appear on plates, according to different themes. One plate serves up only raw ingredients; another produces institutional food only. Still another is populated with poisonous ingredients only.
Although there are a lot of different moods within the piece, the overall feeling is one of wonderment. And power.
Among her inspirations for "Spring Table" is the 1974 installation by Judy Chicago called "The Dinner Party," now on permanent display at the Brooklyn Museum. Widely known as the first epic feminist artwork, the piece includes 39 plates representing women in history. The exhibit highlights how women contributed significantly to the development of culture and civilization, and yet their efforts were typically trivialized.
It's not Chicago's feminist message that inspired Pickall. It's not even any particular obsession with food, which for Pickall is just a metaphor. It's the idea of actors being denied agency, but finding ways to exercise it regardless. Using her expertise in software and coding, Pickall seeks to create objects and environments that are set off or changed by human interactions in all her artworks.
Pickall is the master of her own crafts, modern and traditional. She built the electronic sensors that are tripped by sitting on them. She wrote the code that operates the software she customized. She programmed the projector to light up images onto precise plates and glasses from an origin point in the ceiling.
She even built all the chairs herself. Whether adorned with bells or growing plants, each chair tells a different story harking back to food.
Pickall is a former filmmaker with Gracie Films (of "The Simpsons" fame) who returned to school a couple of years ago to pursue a master's degree in design and technology at the Parsons School of Design in Paris.
After sitting at Pickall's table, my belly was still empty. But my mind was full.

Rick Nash wants to stay with the Rangers past this season

Rick Nash tells Larry Brooks that while he sometimes thinks about his future and being a pending UFA, that stuff isn't "weighing on him." (NY Post)
Nash reiterated that he wants to stay with the Ranger, saying "this is home," and that while contract issues are usually handled in the summer, he would be open to talk and possibly sign a new contract during the year "if both sides were happy with it." (NY Post)
He added that he understands the business side of things and that the Rangers will ultimately do what they feel is best for the organization, which might be trading him at the deadline. (NY Post)
It's been reported that the Rangers and Nash have not yet had discussions about a possible extension.
It has been speculated that the Rangers might move Nash before the deadline, especially if they don't believe they will be playoff contenders.
Adam Rotter: Nash wants to return to the Rangers and I think that to a large degree the Rangers would want to bring him back, but it would have to be a bit more on their terms than Nash's. A 3-year deal would be ideal for the Rangers and keep Nash around as a leader on and off the ice, but it's the cap hit that will ultimately be the issue. Anything under $4 million, to me, would be a no-brainer for the Rangers. The issue will be that Nash will almost certainly be able to command at least $4.5 million, maybe even $5 million, a year as a UFA. More than anything I think that Nash wants to win and if he believes that he can do that with the Rangers, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a nice haircut in cap hit to stay and to help give the Rangers some extra money to keep players and make the team around him better.
There is the chance that the Rangers trade Nash, though I'm not sure the Rangers will go that route unless the bottom falls out again or someone overpays for him as a rental. I don't think either of those will happen and that ultimately the Rangers will go into the playoffs with Nash.
