"Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer from her third studio album A Love Trilogy album released in 1976. Summer's breakthrough had come in the form of the disco song "Love to Love You Baby" which in its entirety lasted almost seventeen minutes and took up the entire first side of the album of the same name. Due to its success (and also its success as a 12" maxi single) the format was repeated with the next album and with this song. In fact, "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" actually lasted even longer than "Love To Love You Baby", clocking in at eighteen minutes. Edited versions were also released on the 7" single format.
The song peaked at number eighty on the American pop chart and number thirty-five on the soul chart.[1] It was more popular with disco audiences, however, becoming Summer's second number one single on the dance chart in May 1976 and remaining atop that chart for three weeks.[2] The song also peak #6 in Spain singles charts and #22 in Spain Radio chart.[3]

An Igor Stravinsky composed and a Vaslav Nijinsky choreographed ballet called Rite of Spring (in French it is called, Le sacre du printemps). It was performed, first, on May 29, 1913 in Paris. It caused a riot. It was performed four more times, after, in Paris and three times in London and then the choreography was lost forever until, 1990, when Robert Joffrey and his ballet company performed the ballet for the first time in almost eighty years! The ballet is about Russian pagan rituals and, "The Chosen One" (played by Beatriz Rodriguez) dancing herself to death in order to rejuvenate the earth. (Sorry about how after the ten minute mark it kind of seems choppy. That is entirely my fault and I apologize before hand.) You'll either love it or hate it, but, nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. (Also, I'll soon put up the documentary the BBC made about the Rite of Spring, called "Riot at the Rite". I think it's a good movie."

Lebanon's defense minister has said Islamist militants entrenched in a Palestinian refugee camp must surrender or face further military action. The ultimatum followed three days of fierce fighting between the army and the Fatah al-Islam group. The army has laid siege to the Nahr al-Bared camp since the fighting erupted on Sunday, bombarding it with tank fire and artillery shells. At least eighty people have died with dozens more wounded.
On Wednesday, an informal ceasefire enabled thousands of residents to flee the camp. Some headed for another Palestinian refugee camp nearby, while others traveled to the neighboring city of Tripoli. The International Committee of the Red Cross estimates between thirteen and fifteen thousand refugees have left Nahr al-Bared. The camp is home to thirty thousand people. The internal conflict is the bloodiest in Lebanon since the civil war ended 17 years ago.
