The division also reported that new countries has increased the turnover rate for an annual seasonally adjusted 337,000 up from a revised January the number of 322,000. The results are better than the decline of 300,000 units, analysts are still waiting, the second worst ever.

Last month, the strength of property markets has been affected by an increase in orders for military aircraft and parts, the opening of 32.4%. Demand for machinery, computers and manufacturing of metal products has increased.

However, the recovery of both markets and sales of new plants may be only temporary. Uptick in retail trade and construction, last month, with a private group index of leading economic indicators are less than expected, but was not sustainable in light of all the problems facing the economy. And a large decline in durable goods entered in January was even lower, said that the promotion of data from February a blip.

RBS Greenwich Capital analyst David Ader agreed. "Durable goods was stronger than expected, but reserves the downward revision and strength comes on the heels of several months of weakness, and we do not attempt to consider them as a sign the economy is in the ground, "he wrote in a note.

Dance music still shine in West Side Story

The production is under the direction of Arthur Laurents, the music man in the original book. It is provided in point star symbol of the story of Tony and Maria, the young lovers of these two different gangs in New York, but it still seems a bit piecemeal and slowly, with some surprising innovations. And its emotional effect is strangely muted.

Not Robbins' dances, access to the right of the Show prologue and then explode at regular intervals throughout the evening. This is the detonation dance gym, if the two rival gangs go head to head in a swirling, temperature increased competition, is another "America", a high-kicking greeting full of temperament Anita and the other girls in Puerto Rico to their homeland.

Robbins choreography, Joey McKneely again, both the character and history. Learn the movement, "Somewhere", a hymn to a better future, first sung by Tony and Maria, then danced by the company as an expression of hope.

Many things, that hope is within a radius of Josefina Scaglione, the presumption of innocence custom, as newcomers Maria. It has a pure voice and a winning stage performances, that the administration never said that innate quality turns saccharine.

Others may be a little lost, especially during times of non-singing. But Maria's "Hermosa siento" ( "I Feel Pretty"), is also on those who do not know Spanish, especially if our team Bernstein lilting melody.

On the evening of the great crackling is part of a hurricane named Karen Olivo, whose Anita impact of the measure, if it is displayed. Olivo, an alum of "In The Heights", has an indelible personality, a galvanized insistence that Latin women on stage.
