	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Closer Than Ever" - 2/3/05
		Before I heard the score of Closer Than Ever, Porchlight’s decision to include a revue in their 2004-05 season seemed a bit out of character for a company that has focused on book musicals.
		Closer Than Ever, though its songs were taken from a variety of origins, is fairly tightly focused on the process of growing up from young adulthood through middle age, and on accepting the changes that come with physical and emotional maturation.
		Closer Than Ever will be performed Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m.

		Although little more than pinpricks to the Israelis, these attacks were effective armed propaganda in the Palestinians' political offensive to force the Arab regimes, particularly Egypt under Gamal Abd al-Nasser, to practice what they preached regarding Palestine.
		This was primarily due to the creeping annexation of land by the Israeli occupation authorities and the establishment of Israeli settlements on the confiscated lands.
		The uprising shattered the barrier of fear of the occupier, strengthened the sense of self-reliance, and in general empowered a population that had been systematically deprived of control over its destiny during two decades of Israeli occupation, and before that for 19 years under Jordanian and Egyptian rule.

	RECORDINGS; 'Closer Than Ever' Is One From the Heart - New York Times
		One feels the edge of forced, desperate merriment in a lyric that at bottom is about rationalizing one's fears of mortality at an age when life has begun to feel uncomfortably finite.
		The songs in ''Closer Than Ever'' are awash with emotion as they reflect on marriage, parents and children and lasting friendships.
		The most insistent thread of emotion that runs through the score is the realization that although middle age may be a time of fulfillment in career and family, the yearnings of youth still nag.

		As with their earlier revue, each song in “Closer Than Ever” is a story: an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, happiness — and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred directions at once.
		Maltby and Shire bring their celebrated craft and contemporary sensibility to songs about aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, and role reversals with parents, as well as wicked satirical jabs at Muzak, working couples and unrequited love.
		Featuring a minimum cast of two women, two men and two musicians, “Closer Than Ever” is as comfortable in a cabaret setting as in a larger theatre, filling either space with a steady stream of remarkable showstoppers.

	'Closer Than Ever' Musical Review Comes to WFU
		The Maltby and Shires contemporary musical revue, "Closer Than Ever," will open April 9 at Wake Forest University.
		In "Closer Than Ever," directed by Assistant Professor of Theater Cynthia Gendrich, there is no story line and nothing spoken, but every song is a self-contained story.
		"'Closer Than Ever' is challenging because it tells 23 short stories that make sense together, but one song or situation doesn't always lead directly into the next," says Gendrich.

		Closer Than Ever is musical full of rich material for singing actors.

		Sometimes it only takes a little to tell a lot, as is the case with the cute musical revue "Closer Than Ever," in which a small cast of singers and a single musician on a bare-boned set manage to spin over two dozen unrelated tales of life, love and more.
		Elmore’s exploration of the animal kingdom, as it relates to humans, is effective on "The Bear, the Tiger, the Hamster and the Mole," as was her efforts to move on after her sensible marriage and sensible divorce on "Life Story." But her "Patterns" fell flat.

	In-flight broadband to take off with AirCell? - Mobile & Wireless - Breaking Business and Technology News at ...
		The network, which the privately held company hopes to begin testing and deploying on commercial aircraft next year, would work by channelling communications from at least one miniature cell site - called a "picocell" - on the plane to special cell sites on the ground.
		AirCell's plan would not conflict with a federal ban on in-flight mobile phone use because the proposed network operates at a different frequency than that which could pose interference threats to aircraft navigational systems, according to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) official.
		The company said it will be able to keep traditionally high installation and operating costs low by using "commercially available" technology and a direct air-to-ground link, rather the than bulky, expensive satellites used by some existing in-flight communications systems.

		In an interview with the Herald yesterday, the Indonesian ambassador, Imron Cotan, said the tsunami had brought Australia closer to Indonesia, with the two "working days and nights together" in the relief effort.
		Before the tsunami, Mr Cotan could not have imagined Australian forces operating openly in Aceh, a sensitive province which has been closed to foreigners as a part of Jakarta's efforts to deal with separatists.
		Mr Cotan said "for the time being" Indonesia was "absolutely content" with Australia's commitment, but that the recovery effort would take years, and Indonesia recognised it could not undertake it alone.
