School Spotlight
Whether you're on your way to the library or stopping by City Hall, chances are you're driving by St. John Vianney School, located in the heart of Brookfield. This blog will provide insight into life and education at SJV, a 4K-8 educational anchor in Brookfield since 1957.
Wisconsin DNR Issued St. John Vianney School the Highest Honor Green School Award
On Thursday, May 27 at 7:50 am Flag Ceremony St. John Vianney School received a highest honor Green School Award from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Mayor Steve Ponto presented the award to the school. A representatives from the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Wisconsin was also present.
The award culminates and recognizes the efforts of members of the 8th grade Girl Scout Troop #2375 who worked throughout the year to have our school designated a green school through efforts such as labeling waste and recycle containers, educating students and staff on what can be recycled, which bin to recycle in the classrooms and in the hall, and what happens to materials that are recycled. When the Girl Scouts completed the initial paperwork to have our school designated by WI DNR as a Green School, they focused specifically on the initiatives for indoor air quality and school building and grounds. When they met to complete the final award application for Green School designation, they realized that the school had also accomplished and addressed other initiatives such as Integrated Pest Management, Chemical Management, Transportation and Community Involvement so they filled in the steps the school had recently taken to address these issues as well. They wanted to share their pride that SJV school administrators, parents, teachers and community recognized the benefit to the environment in the steps they had taken to improve the school and how students were learning about these critical steps to save energy in the curriculum. Little did the Girl Scouts know that these extra efforts pushed them ahead to receive "Reaching Higher Status", the highest award given by the DNR for Green Schools (only two other schools in the state have earned this award). The Scouts are now preparing the final report to receive the Girl Scout Silver Award. They hope to complete this award appl
ication after their graduation from St. John Vianney School on June 4.
The 8th grade Girl Scouts who worked on this project are Danielle K. (leader) and her team: Allison U, Erica W, Mikala F and Molly S from Troop #2375. A huge thank you goes to the parish administration for choosing to be more energy efficient when remodeling in recent years, the maintenance staff for assisting in the correct handling of recyclables and waste, and the students/teachers/staff/parents of the school community for using the receptacles correctly!
As a community, we earned this award!! Congratulations!

The mystique of Christopher Columbus looms large. Generations of books have heralded him as the man who discovered the Americas (much to the presumed surprise of the people who already lived here) after arduous journeys. Other scholars have debunked these stories.
Whether you loudly proclaim your Columbus love or have doubts about his deeds, don't let this holiday go by without learning these five facts about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day.
1. He was born into poverty and became the greatest explorer of his time. No wait, Columbus was born into a wealthy, influential family and used his connections to work his way to the top. Like much about Columbus, his life story has been exaggerated in many accounts. Here's what we know for sure: Columbus lived 1451-1506. He was born in Genoa, Italy, as the oldest of five children and died in Valladolid, Spain. He had two sons from two different women.
2. Discovering the "New World" and giving Americans off the second Monday in October of each year wasn't Columbus' goal when he set sail from Spain. He was searching for a shorter route to China and guaranteed trade riches that would come from such a discovery. The explorer didn't realize an entire continent lay between Europe and Asia, and that China wasn't just a short westward journey away. Columbus believed he landed on Asian soil, and he died believing that. He even made crews on the second voyage swear they were in Asia — and threatened he would cut off the tongues of those who didn't fall in line.
3. At least those sailors were just threatened. Columbus' treatment of native populations was much worse. He and his underlings enslaved people of Hispaniola, forcing everyone older than 14 to mine for gold. Settlers cut off noses and ears of native people who rebelled. Settlers who rebelled against the harsh living conditions, lack of promised gold and perceived mismanagement of the colony were hanged—an action that led to Columbus' eventual arrest and return to Spain in shackles.
4. Columbus Day became an official federal holiday in 1937, although some states informally celebrated it much earlier. The first known Columbus Day celebration was in New York for the 300th anniversary of the 1492 voyage, according to the History Channel. Originally, Columbus Day was always on Oct. 12, but was changed to become the second Monday in October.
5. Christopher Columbus is one of only two people to get a holiday named after him; the other is Martin Luther King Jr. George Washington comes close, but his holiday is known as Washington's Birthday, not George Washington Day. And he barely has that anymore. Although the federal government still calls it Washington's Birthday, entities from used car lots to school districts normally ditch that in favor of Presidents Day to recognize both Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Now is your chance to drive not one, but two of the most desirable supercars in the world, at the infamous Silverstone circuit. Silverstone is home to the British Grand Prix and here you will experience driving a British classic Aston Martin V8 Vantage and a beautiful Italian made Ferrari 360. Experience the force of the Ferrari and the grace of the Aston in a head-to-head challenge.
Pit the cars against each other and feel the difference in dynamics and how they handle. One thing's for sure, they are both powerful machines capable of reaching high speeds, travelling from 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds. The Ferrari 360 Modena is a light and agile sports car whilst the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the epitome of luxury and style. Drive each car for three laps of Silverstone's amazing circuit in this unforgettable experience.
On arrival at the centre you'll be asked to sign an indemnity form followed by a briefing covering safety procedures and driving techniques. Then it's onto the main event - the head-to-head challange. First, you'll drive the Ferrari 360 for 5.7 miles, and then you'll move on to the Aston Martin for the same distance.
Which one will you prefer? The modern British classic or the elegant Italian model? The experience ends with a debrief. You will also have the opportunity to purchase a photograph as proof and to impress your family and friends with.
This experience runs Monday to Friday.

Is Obama Still Leaking?by Opinion Staff
President Obama did Tuesday night what usually gets him through a crisis: He gave a speech. This time, his speechmaking failed him.
To a country hungry for details about prospects for slowing and finally capping the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, Mr. Obama offered little. Indeed, the real news came a day later, when he announced that BP will deposit $20 billion into a good-faith escrow account to pay claims and will create a $100 million fund for oil workers who aren't working because of the moratorium on offshore drilling.
Worse, the estimate of how much oil the well is leaking went up again, to at least 35,000 barrels per day. The worst case is 60,000 barrels. BP claims to be capturing a portion of that, but what numbers these days does anyone want to believe?
We think President Obama reassured no one with his speech. What do you think? Take our poll?

Luyet, I shared what I learned with my ScrumMaster friends. We were enthusiastic enough about the ideas that we started a coaching session with the following statement. . . .

Recently in a discussion with one of my customers, I heard an interesting statement, "Good enough is the enemy of great." I began to analyze the statement and understand its hard and true meaning. . . .

A website from the Netherlands explains the pioneering use of Scrum in schools. Each student knows exactly what they have to do, why they have to do it, and when they have to do it. . . . After learning about it, I wondered whether the classes I teach could benefit from this model. How would adult students take to this new approach?

Lately I've been wondering: Is there a typical profile for those people who have a hard time transitioning to Agile? Are they always the same from one organization to another? Is there a magic formula to spot them right away?
2/5/2014 by Todd Wilson
In Agile organizations . . . a partnership between technology and business must form, and each side must invest equally in this relationship. I've heard the following phrase uttered too many times to count: "The business just doesn't get it," or, my favorite, "They're just not Agile."

I've been coaching teams in the Agile space for more than a few years now, and the one aspect of the process that often seems to be undervalued is the retrospectives. . . .

For centuries, if not millennia, humans have struggled to introduce logic and structure into their world. From architectural designs dating back thousands of years to the latest technological innovations, we try to balance logic and the fundamental laws of physics with emotions and human attributes. . . .

The Frontiers of Engineering program brings together through 2-1/2 day meetings a select group of emerging engineering leaders from industry, academe, and government labs to discuss pioneering technical work and leading edge research in various engineering fields and industry sectors. The goal of the meetings is to introduce these outstanding engineers (ages 30-45) to each other, and through this interaction facilitate collaboration in engineering, the transfer of new techniques and approaches across fields, and establishment of contacts among the next generation of engineering leaders.
My research interests are in mechanically flexible electronics such as large-area photosensor arrays for X-ray medical imaging and organic sensor systems built by low-cost digital printing.
The FOE symposium is an incredible opportunity to interact with brilliant engineers across different disciplines. I came away being inspired by the breadth and the depth of the discussions towards solving the grand challenges we face today.
My current research projects focus on the design and implementation of fast programmable networking systems, future Internet architecture, and network security.
My research involves the the design and development of novel dynamics and new guidance and control algorithms to advance the frontiers of space and missile systems. Our work results in systems that take advantage of physical phenomenon rather than fight them, for example, spacecraft formations that rely on drift in orbital mechanics to maintain separation or very small-scale satellites that rely on solar pressure and atmospheric drag to achieve a desired orbit rather than relying on propellant
FOE is an outstanding way to create cross-disciplinary collaboration and foster innovation in forward thinking individuals by introducing them to the motivations, challenges, and triumphs of their various fields
My research is in vehicle propulsion systems architecture and control, in particular conventional transmission, hybrid, and vehicle electrification to continue to improve vehicle fuel economy and cost effectiveness.
FOE allowed me to meet top-notch engineers from different part of the country and to appreciate different disciplines and what can be inspiring to my own research. Great experience!
I am interested in the development of micro- and nanoscale technologies for therapeutic delivery and regenerative medicine.
FOE provide a valuable forum to meet peers across a range of engineering disciplines and exchange innovative ideas. I have gained new insight not only in my own work but in areas I would never have imagined!
My research area is nanostructured photonic and radio frequency (RF) materials for applications in rapid manufacturing of RF antennas, hyperspectral imaging, metamaterials, and smart fabrics.
The Frontiers of Engineering meeting provided a unique opportunity to interact with leading researchers, and expanded my professional network. My current work in developing the Expressive and Creative Interactive Technologies (ExCITe) Center in Philadelphia is a direct result of this networking, as I am partnered with two FOE alumni, Dr. Youngmoo Kim (Drexel) and Dr. Katherine Kuchenbecker (UPenn).

Key findings from the APEX contracts report, released earlier this year by the Convention Industry Council's Accepted Practices Exchange initiative, came to light at a recent webinar. The report recommends industry best practices for handling attrition and other contracting challenges, establishes guidelines on how to format a meetings contract, and creates standard definitions of meeting contract terminology and clauses.
In the July 25 webinar, representatives from the contracts panel discussed how meeting planners can apply the recommendations, and talked about the long, three-year process of developing this seventh and final APEX report. "I was never big on this [the idea of a contracts panel] from the beginning, but it turned out to be something good," said Larry Luteran, vice president, groups sales and industry relations at Hilton Hotels Corp., one of three panelists on the webinar along with Gregg Talley, CAE, president, Talley Management Group, and Tyra Hilliard, Esq., CMP, meetings industry consultant and educator, who also chaired the contracts panel. The forum was hosted by Betsy Bair, editorial director, MeetingsNet, and moderated by Terri Breining, CMP, CMM, president, Concepts Worldwide.
One of the major recommendations of the 44-member contracts panel--which had representation from planners, hotels, facilities, other suppliers, and industry lawyers--was to create a recommended format for meeting contracts, with all the elements in a specific order. "This is huge," said Talley. "How many times do we go blurry-eyed reading contracts when we're not even on the same page, talking about the same terms? Working from the same type of contract has the ability to make our lives a lot easier." It's a recommendation and not mandated, but over time, the panel hopes the format will be commonly used by suppliers and planners.
One hotel chain that is committed to the new format is Hilton. "We've already made the change to the new format," explained Luteran. "We want to make it as easy as possible for groups to meet with us. If contracting stands in the way of that, it's not good."
In the question-and-answer portion of the hourlong webinar, an audience member asked what it would take to get other hotel chains to adopt the new format. "This will gain traction when customers demand it," said Luteran. "You can't dictate that hotels use it, but they will when enough customers demand it."
The contracts report also put forth "approaches to consider," which are, essentially, best practices. "In several instances, we put a stake in the ground of what best practices should be," said Talley. Among the best practices, the report states: Any attrition clause should include what charges are included and how they are calculated. There are also best practices related to commissions and rebates. Some recommendations include sterner language, saying "should" instead of "may," which is an important distinction, said Talley. "In six to 10 of these (approaches to consider) we used 'should' to bring issues out of the fog and bring clarity to these issues."
The panel stopped short of recommending standard language for contract clauses—and for good reason, said Hilliard. "Contracts offer a competitive advantage," said Hilliard. Recommending standards clauses for attrition or force majeure would ultimately take some negotiating power away from planners and suppliers. "Market variations dictate different terms at different times, so it's hard to come up with one-size-fits-all clauses," Hilliard added. "It would have been a disservice all the way around." Talley concurred: "You can't possibly account for all of the variables that go into a clause;, that's why you can't have standard clauses."
Finally, the report includes standard definitions of meeting-contract terminology, such as attrition. "This wasn't something we just slapped together. This was hard-fought battleground to come to consensus on these definitions," he explained, stating that the eight industry lawyers on the panel sweated over every word. Having standard definitions takes away any disagreements over what a term can mean, as negotiators will now be able to refer to the APEX definition as the standard. "It takes away a lot of the 'back and forth-ing' if you can say, 'I'm working from the standardized APEX definition,'" said Talley.
The webinar is the final in a series of three, organized by MeetingsNet in cooperation with the CIC and sponsored by Palace Resorts. All are available online for review 24/7 at meetingsnet.com/webinars. To download a copy of the contracts report, go to the CIC web site.

Cyber threats to North America's electric grid are growing, making electric grid cybersecurity an increasingly important national and international issue. The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently noted that cyber attacks are eclipsing terrorism as the primary threat facing the United States.
The federal government, working in partnership with various state and local bodies, operates 47 different workforce development programs with a budget of more than $18 billion annually. They are intended to provide the education and job training that will help individual Americans access good jobs.

1080p tagged movies now play in Video app 6.1
A nice bug fix in today's 6.1 iOS update is that 1080p movies are no longer missing from the streamed area of the Video app. Prior to this only <1080p movies, or 1080p movies re-tagged as less than 1080p, or only synched 1080p movies would show up in the Video app. Now they all do... and play too.

And people say that Android sucks
Even my $90 Nook Tablet (running Cyanogenmod 10) can play 1080P videos just fine.

It's not about screen resolution, it's about being able to stream 1080p. Up until this update, if you had a 1080p movie in iTunes, the Video app would not see it (as if it wasn't there). If you synched it to the iPad, it would show it as a watchable video and play just fine. But for streaming, it was invisible.
If you retagged at 1080p video as 720p, it would see it for streaming (even though it was still a 1080p video). So just the tag seemed to make a difference for this particular bug. With this update, that bug is fixed. Now it sees 1080p videos for streaming. And they play just fine.
Yes, on a Mini- which doesn't have 1920x1080 pixels- it is not displaying full 1080p (it is down-converting it to 1024x768). But the key is that it can play 1080p files so we don't have to make special copies for this iPad (or use tag trickery). One master file fits all now.
I hope that clarifies things. The win for iOS users is an extra bug is fixed in the Video app. The win for Android tablets is that some of them have higher resolution than iPad Mini (for now).

Sweet Seaside Memories
From dining to weddings, we are sharing all of the latest and greatest happenings at L'Auberge Del Mar on L'Blog, and we want your input too! Share anything you like, from your favorite L'Auberge experience to a fun Del Mar happening. We'd love to hear from you.

Garden Vintage Vows in Del Mar
Every so often we have the pivilege of hosting a San Diego beach wedding so gorgeous, so awe-inspiring, so unique, that even the most professional of wedding planners stops in her tracks. Last September, Allison and Paul had one of those kinds of weddings.
When I first met Allison during the wedding planning process, I was surprised to find out that this creative genius worked in a science lab. She is one of those rare individuals with style, taste, and brains. Over the course of a year she worked tirelessly on every little detail of her big day. She collected vintage bottles for place cards, had bridesmaid outfits custom made, and selected each piece of antique china to be used on the dinner tables. Nothing was overlooked.
On September 1, 2013 the most amazing wedding day ensued. L'Auberge Del Mar was taken over by an incredible team of vendors who transformed our little seaside setting into a lavish vintage garden. The styling by Canvas and Canopy and floral designs by Isari Flower Studio left me absolutely breathless. If you do nothing else today, you must check out photos of this amazing wedding experience over on John Schnack's blog. I've been staring at them all morning secretly wishing we could do it all over again....

Hundreds of people filled Easton's Centre Square Friday night for the annual Peace Candle lighting.
The actual lighting is just a small part of the event, which also included a mummers band, ice sculptors, a petting zoo, horse-drawn carriage rides, and the Easton debut of TubaChristmas.
(The name only tells part of the story, as the group plays Christmas tunes on a variety of brass instruments, including the tuba.)
This year, the candle was lit by Easton resident Cindy Lytle, whose boyfriend, Tom Sestak, won the Easton Holiday Committee's Imperial Illuminator Auction.
Sestak won an auction to light the candle, but then turned over the honors to Lytle, "because he's a gentleman," said Sandy O'Brien Werner of the city's holiday committee.
The committee has been raising money to replace the candle.
The tradition may date back to the 1950s, but the candle itself has -- James Bond-like -- been through a few different incarnations.
The current version is 22 years old, and fundraising efforts to update it are about halfway to their $25,000 goal, Mayor Sal Panto said Friday.
In addition to the candle lighting, Panto awarded the annual Gretchen Wrenshaw Community Caring Award to Jane Moyer, the long-time librarian and current historian -- at age 100 -- at the Sigal Museum.
Easton often gets a bad rap, Moyer said, adding "I'm proud of our town. We're full of history!"
"That would be a good slogan for the city," Panto said. "Easton: Full of history."

Quick round at the Golfweek Jr. Invitational
ORLANDO, Fla. – Jonathan DiIanni and Andrew Vu could have had a lightning round at the Golfweek Junior Invitational at Reunion Resort's Legacy Course Sunday.
DiIanni, 15, and Vu, 14, ended up as a twosome when Thomas Wicker withdrew. The pair was the first off No. 1 tee, and walked off the ninth green just one hour and 35 minutes later, opening up a two-hole lead on the next threesome behind them. From there, however, the waiting began. The players quickly ran into the final group of girls to start off the 10th, and had to put the brakes on coming in.
The pace must have worked well, however, as both players shaved eight strokes from their first-round score. DiIanni shot 82-74 to finish T-21, and Vu had 84-76 for a T-27 finish.

Converting from a traditional IRA to a Roth can build wealth and enhance estate plans for families of means.
In this article, we parse some of the intertwined financial and emotional issues that inevitably arise when selling a closely held business. We examine the trade-offs of three different cash deals—one of which offers all the cash up-front, while the other two attach contingencies that can add to—or subtract from—final proceeds.
Last year was a good one for investors, though they may not have realized it in the midst of the volatility that marked 2010. In this article, we assess 2010 and the landscape ahead—potentially opportune for stocks but riskier for bonds.
With AFR and 7520 rates at all-time lows, estate planners should reconsider the benefits of the charitable lead annuity trust, or "CLAT." Although a CLAT is generally appropriate only for a client with some charitable intent, there are significant wealth transfer benefits as well.
One rule of thumb in investing says that you should pay no tax before it is due. But the coming shift in tax rates, along with the uncertainty surrounding the tax law, suggests you think twice. An article from the CPA Journal summarizes our research into the potential benefits of prepaying taxes in 2010.
Recovering markets and low interest rates have created favorable conditions for charitable lead annuity trusts (CLATs) and intra-family loans. An article from Estate Planning magazine summarizes our research, which quantifies the probability and likely magnitude of success of these two strategies in the current environment.
The Roth IRA enables investors to effectively shelter more assets from taxes for a longer period of time. But converting means accelerating taxable income into an earlier year. It is a choice that requires careful analysis. In this article, we apply our wealth management research and analytical tools to illustrate the benefits and liabilities of converting.
There's little relationship between country-level gross domestic product growth and local stock market returns. A better approach: identify companies that will benefit most and will pass on those benefits to investors.

This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
IAAF suspends six russians athletes
Yelena Soboleva, Daria Pischalnikova, Gulfiya Khanafeyeva, Tatiana Tomashova, Yulia Fomenko and Svetlana Cherkasova
Wow, I am kind of surprised, but not. There are only really a handful of athletes that I would be really surprised if they went down, but hearing of positives is shocking nonetheless.
Crazy stuff, and ridiculously embarrassing for our sport yet again.
So am I. I couldn't really trust her but I always supported her until now. But she did train with Yegorova in 2001, I believe.
I'm pretty surprised at Pishchalnikova and Cherkasova.
At least Alminova will get picked for the Russian team for Beijing!
Unless it all means they cross checked the DNA from the tests and the urine is not from the same person across their three tests...
No way, I never trusted Pishchalnikova! In fact, I'f I'm being perfectly honest, I still think the Russian team have an organised doping regime, and this kind of backs that up.
Well I never really had anything to go on so I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
Still, I think there are more obvious Russians than these ones.
i am so disapointed, yet again another scandal... sobelova a huge star and favourite and tomoshova who is always there for the champs OUT!
i just knew though when i saw six big name russians out one would be sobelova
i guess that explains 2004-2005
2008 3:56.59 Moskva 10/07/2008
2007 3:57.30 Moskva 29/06/2007
2006 3:56.43 Paris Saint-Denis 08/07/2006
2005 4:01.14 Tula 13/07/2005
2004 4:11.98 Tula 24/06/2004
also 2007-2008 800!
2008 1:54.85 Kazan 18/07/2008
2007 1:59.49 Zhukovskiy 09/06/2007
2006 1:57.28 Zhukovskiy 24/06/2006
2005 2:00.59 Tallinn 16/08/2005
2003 2:01.65 Cheboksary 28/06/2003
The AFP report appears to be a translation of this: http://www.allsport.ru/index.php?id=16639
I would probably translate the phrase "несовпадение ДНК в допинг-пробах" as "DNA mismatch in doping-probes".
BTW, the AllSport.ru site says they'll have a detailed interview with Balakhnichev soon.
Oh JEBUS!!!!!! That's some amount.
Isn't the hammer thrower JUST back in the sport?
This will make me even MORE paranoid when it comes to other athletes like the 400m girls, the walkers, the 10k and 5k runner (she has to be the most doped of ALL)!!
Me neither - the deep grunt she let out when she threw, her facial acne, and rapid progression were all small hints
Again, I agree. These athletes are from different events with different coaches, yet they all have something funky going on with their DNA testing. They must be getting the same 'instructions' from somewhere.
Whatever little hope I had in the Russian team has now been lost completely.
This would all suggest to me that more DQs may be in the offing. Too much a coincidence perhaps that this year's 1500 trio just happened to get caught up last year? Meaning that at at this point the IAAF has merely acted to go after those named for Beijing? (but has more in the hopper)
Bruce good find. I had read: http://www.trackandfield.ru/news.php/detail/id4390
I was just searching to see if they had the same coach...this absolutely STINKS of an organised doping system. Can we trust any of Russia's leading athletes? As much as I have believed quite a high amount of Russian gals were doped, I could still manage to support some members of their team like Soboleva, Guschina, Tomashova. But the fact that these 6 names, pretty much represent the entire team, well....how can anyone have faith in the rest? Samitova? Kapachinskaya? Volkova?
It's going to be tough watching a Russian Gal beat out a personal favourite in Beijing.
That said, I live by the mantra that Isi can't be on anything, nor would it help!

Isinbayeva. Thankfully none of their jumpers have been caught up...yet so I retain some hope..for now
Me neither - the deep grunt she let out when she threw, her facial acne, and rapid progression were all small hints [/quote]
I agree with you on the first two, but the latter isn't too much of an issue- rapid progression at a young age isn't really that much of a giveaway and she's still only 23...
And this absolutely does stink- do they have different coaches ? You'd have thought so...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a rapidly emerging and powerful technique used to investigate gene function by degrading a specific mRNA target in a cell or organism and thus knocking out or knocking down the level of the encoded protein. This specific mRNA degradation is mediated by complementary double-stranded RNA. This article reviews RNAi and its relationship to other RNA-mediated mechanisms generally referred to as RNA silencing. This review also addresses the involvement of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), small temoral RNAs (stRNAs), and short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in various RNA silencing mechanisms.

Andrea Bocelli's 1997 pop album, Romanza, is reportedly the best-selling album by an Italian artist in history. Bigger than Sinatra. Bigger than Bennett.
Of course, Bocelli, 54, can straddle the worlds of opera and pop and sing in six languages. Since the release of his first album 19 years ago, the Pisa-born tenor has become the world ambassador of the love song — as exemplified on his new album, Passione, in which he records songs by Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley and Edith Piaf in Italian, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Neapolitan. Pasión, a Spanish version of the album, was simultaneously released last week.
On Friday, Bocelli brings his worlds together at BB&T Center in Sunrise. The Miami Herald caught up with Bocelli via email, for a trip through culture in song.
Passion e features duets with Jennifer Lopez and Nelly Furtado and you've collaborated with Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Katherine Jenkins. What do you look for when choosing a duet partner?
To mix the sound of two voices, to weave their vibrations, is like betting; it is an exciting experience. The voice is the mirror of the soul; singing tells about its inner world. To sing well you must have a lot of passions and passionately live. The artists you have named have an overwhelming personality, and each of them is capable of enriching a melody thanks to her talent and charisma. In the opera, as well, the duet is one of the cornerstones of the narration structure of the musical theater. You have to find a common ground, a common vibration. Personally, it is a gratifying experience, indeed.
You're a crossover artist who can do opera and classical-pop; does one genre prove more challenging vocally?
Classical music and pop music are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities and artistic dignity. I don't like the term crossover, and I don't particularly feel the need to label my activity. The study path is the one of an opera singer, even if it is through the pop that I first reached the great audience. My encounter with music in my childhood was the one with the voices of the heroes of the 20th-century opera — from Enrico Caruso to Beniamino Gigli, from Tito Schipa to Franco Corelli. All of them characters who have built the history of the operatic interpretation and who have, as well, sung many popular romanzas.
To sing a song, however, is like whispering to a child's ear. Light music is born more by instinct, by that somewhat "gypsy" talent that the artist possesses: it is an art heavily relying on improvisation. Hazarding a culinary comparison, the song is like a sweet, easy to be made and to be savored, good at the moment, but to be eaten sparingly because it can easily become a bit too heavy.
You've performed at the foot of the pyramids in Egypt, before heads of state, and on the Dancing With the Stars stage. What venue is left to conquer?
I remember how the day after the concert I gave on the Great Lawn of Central Park a reporter jokingly asked me if at that point it was reasonable to expect a concert of mine to be in space or on the moon!
Andrea Bocelli performs at 8 p.m. Friday at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy, Sunrise. Tickets $75-$375. Information: www.ticketmaster.com or 954-835-8000. Follow @HowardCohen on Twitter.

African migrants around the world pay more than other groups to send money back home, costing them and their families a hefty $4 billion a year, the World Bank said Monday.
The development lender said Africa's overseas workers sent close to US$60 billion in remittances in 2012, but paid a premium over other migrant groups to do so.
"High transaction costs are cutting into remittances, which are a lifeline for millions of Africans," Gaiv Tata, director of financial inclusion in the World Bank's Africa Region.
"Remittances play a critical role in helping households address immediate needs and also invest in the future, so bringing down remittance prices will have a significant impact on poverty."
Sub-Saharan Africa was the most expensive region in 2012. The average remittance cost there was 12.4 percent, compared with 8.9 percent worldwide and 6.5 percent in South Asia, the lowest cost region, the bank said.
The bank noted that leading developed countries had set a target of 5.0 percent for the average remittance price by 2014.
"Governments should implement policies to open the remittances market up to competition" to help bring down money transfer prices, said Massimo Cirasino, manager of the Financial Infrastructure and Remittances Service Line at the World Bank.
Banks -- the most expensive remittance service providers -- are often the only channel available to African migrants, the World Bank said, and remittance costs were even higher between African countries.
South Africa was the most expensive destination country in Africa, with prices averaging 20.7 percent, followed closely by Tanzania and Ghana, "due to several factors including limited competition in the market for cross-border payments."
