Found January 20, 2013 on
Fox Sports South:
ATLANTA Two summers ago when the Falcons essentially went the draft-day equivalent of all-in by trading five picks to take wide receiver Julio Jones, there were mixed emotions about the selection.
The Falcons bet the farm to take the Alabama standout two first-round, one second-round and two more fourth-round picks over the span of two drafts on the premise that he would, indeed, live up to his all-world potential. Sunday's NFC Championship Game in the Georgia Dome served as one of the many justifications in 2012, as Jones once again decimated an opposing secondary, albeit in a losing effort to the San Francisco 49ers.
Though his Falcons fell to the NFC's No. 2 seed 28-24 after taking an early 17-0 lead, Jones set his name in stone on one of football's biggest stages. He finished with 11 catches for 182 yards and two touchdowns. His yardage ranks 15th-most in an NFL playoff game since 1960, and his 11 receptions tied him for 11th with guys like Jerry Rice (1996) and his teammate Roddy White (2009). He also set the franchise playoff record for single-game receiving yards.
Needless to say, he's more than earned his reputation as a game-changer.
"I thought Julio played great. He stepped up and we knew coming in that we needed guys to step up," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said. "I thought he fought hard the entire day and he made some unbelievable catches and he was a big reason we were in it right there to the end."
Jones accounted for the game's two opening touchdowns, allowing the Falcons to take a commanding lead early in the second quarter and send the home crowd into a frenzy. On his first score, the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder left the 49ers defense in the dust for a wide-open 46-yard touchdown catch. The second came in even more spectacular fashion as Ryan lofted the ball to the back left corner of the end zone and Jones found his way underneath, just keeping both feet in.
And just like that, 17-0.
San Francisco was forced to change its approach after that, a tactic many teams have been forced to take this season versus the Falcons passing game.
"They started rolling a lot of coverage to Julio's side. And then the later it got, they started playing a lot of 2-man after seeing how many plays we were hitting," Falcons receiver Harry Douglas said. "It opened up a lot."
Jones did not speak with the media following his eye-opening game.
With the new coverage schemes, Ryan was able to find other receivers as well, spreading his 30 completions to six different receivers, including seven to White and eight to tight end Tony Gonzalez, who acknowledged in the locker room that the loss will, in all likelihood, be his final NFL game. Ryan finished with 396 yards and three touchdowns.
In his second NFL season, Jones finished with 1,198 yards and 10 touchdowns, catapulting into the upper echelon of the league's receivers. Don't expect him to go away anytime soon, either. He's just getting started, according to teammates.
"Julio's grown tremendously. He's understanding the game more mentally," said Douglas, who finished with three catches for 31 yards. "He's really, really realizing that he's unstoppable. Can't no one stop him. And I even told him when he first started (vs. the 49ers), I said, 'Hey, keep getting it. There's even more out there to go get.' He's one of the best athletes I've ever seen in my life."
On that April night in 2011, right after he was drafted sixth overall, Jones offered up a premonition. For a guy with "CHOSEN 1" written across his shoulder blades, he did not mince his words.
"They can't double me. They can't double Roddy White. You got to pick your poison."
Eighteen months later, Super Bowl appearance or not, those words carry more weight than ever.

Donaire vows KO win over Arce
Marquez watching?
By Roy LuarcaPhilippine Daily Inquirer
HOUSTON—Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire will go for a knockout when he stakes his WBO super bantamweight crown against Mexican Jorge Arce on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at Toyota Center here.
"The fight's not going to go the distance," Donaire said during Tuesday's public workout.
The power-punching Donaire, who totes a 30-1 record with 19 knockouts, has been installed the favorite mainly due to his ninth round TKO of Japanese Toshiaki Nishioka recently.
"I never talk crap. I set the example," said Donaire. "I do my talking inside the ring. I believe that being a professional boxer means you have to carry yourself well."
Donaire, whose knuckles bled during his ninth round win against Nishioka last October, said he was willing to do battle with Arce (61-6-2 with 46 knockouts) anywhere.
"Honestly, I was going to fight him in Mexico, so I'd fight him anywhere. My main concern is to knock him out."
Arce, a four-division world champion, relishes the underdog tag.
"It's motivation for the fight," he said. "Everyone thinks I'm going to get beat, but I'm going to surprise them."
Arce will draw inspiration from his compatriot Juan Manuel Marquez's knockout victory over Filipino hero Manny Pacquiao last Saturday in Las Vegas.
Marquez is reportedly flying in from Mexico to watch Donaire and Arce mix it up.
Arce also wants to fulfill a promise he made to his son.
"I told my son, who is going to be one-year-old on Saturday, that after I beat this guy, I'm taking him to Disney!"

Is there a way to adjust the motion detection sensitivity on the outdoor camera? Mine goes off every 2 minutes during the night.
I would like to know also....same problem
The Motion Detection area can be adjusted via the "Motion Detection" tab on the "Settings" page in the Home Monitoring and Control web application for any type of Home Monitoring and Control camera.
For best results adjust the "Motion Detection Box" to cover only the area you wish to detect motion. This allows you to ignore motion such as trees or plants moving because of the wind, a busy sidewalk or other areas of motion you do not want to trigger Home Monitoring and Control Notifications or Modes.
I belive the answer you are looking for is no. It does not have a sensitivity control that I can find. Mine goes off every 2 minutes at night also even if I set my motion detection area as small as possible. Another ever growing unfixed flaw in the home monitoring debacle....errrrr system.

Oct 10, 2008
A week after President Bush signed a $700 billion bailout plan for Wall Street, the financial crisis has deepened in many state capitals with tight credit markets and new, pessimistic budget figures that pose the biggest threat to states' fiscal health in 25 years.
Grim-faced state officials, seeing reports from the first three months of the budget year that began July 1 for all but four states, are bracing for further declines in tax revenue because of the housing slump, rising unemployment and a slowdown in consumer spending.
Pennsylvania's revenue collections fell about 5 percent below estimates made in July, producing the state's largest first-quarter shortfall in 30 years. A similar lag in Rhode Island has contributed to a record $67 million deficit with nine months left in the budget year. South Carolina — whacked by high unemployment — pared its revenue estimate by 6 percent and now faces a $554 million shortfall. Massachusetts officials may have to slash up to $1 billion and have warned local governments to be prepared for cuts in state aid.
Even before this fall's meltdown on Wall Street, state officials had laid off 7,000 employees and reduced services as they cut billions of dollars in spending to plug growing shortfalls in state budgets. Now, as the financial crisis escalated in the last week, governors are taking more steps.

Hello To All...Finding our ancestors has become a passion in our lives and we truely enjoy it. It all started about a 6 yrs ago when my husband and I realized we hardly knew anything about our family history. We were soon on a conquest....
We also soon found out how important it is to have people out there who can help us find our families stones that we ourselves are unable to go visit and see. Thank all of you for what you do! Becoming a photo voluteer is our way of helping others as much as they have helped us.
My husband and I, along with our beloved little dog Sassy, truely enjoy galavanting around the countrysides visiting cemeteries and finding stones of our loved ones and adding to this wonderful site.
We try and do the best we can to fullfill all and any photo requests for Mahaska County, Iowa and have a great time doing it! At the same time we have tried to make sure that there are pictures and maps of all listed cemeteries for Mahaska County along with others we visit in other counties.
Our closest immediate family lines are Welch, Knupp, Knedler, Barnett, Rains, Saylor, Eakins, Brown, DeWitt and Ellis. We do most of our exploring in Southeastern Iowa and Northern Missouri.
We do add "non" family names from time to time that have not already been posted, so that people can more easily find their relatives.
I am more than willing to add any personal info or link relatives for these memorials if they are not your "DIRECT" relative within the 4 generations per the find a grave guidelines. I firmly believe in following the rules set by find a grave (due to some very unpleasant prior circumstances in the past)so I do my best to comply to them for transferring memorials.
So...duplicating an entry to add your own information or adding biographical information in the flower sections (which is a no-no!) will not be necessary.
Please see the Find A Grave guidelines for this type of activity!!!
I have found that requesting to manage a memorial is "NOT" the important issue here in Find A Grave....its getting information put on our family memorials that is important!
If you want multiple monuments photographed, please take the time to create a memorial for each person rather than attach a message to one request asking for multiple photos or "everyone else in that cemetery with the same surname." Its easier "not to miss" names that way and saves on gas!
I also give permission for any of my pictures to be used by anyone. Good Luck To All Of You!

Mary Ann Knupp
There are other dates that do not agree with any calculated birth date or date of death. Notes copied from Daniel Knupp's old German bible do not agree with either the birth or date of death. So I will leave as is until someone provides more acceptable proof of actual dates. Mary Ann (Knupp) Houck was my husband's 3rd great grandmother.

RE: George W Piersol
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for searching--I am not sure I was clear when I put in the photo request, but George W Piersol is technically buried in St. Mary's which is within Forest Cemetery. This was one of the first findagrave memorials I created and I don't think I found St. Mary's in it. Thanks for your help. The plot number I gave should refer to the location within St. Mary's.

Hi Sharon, you are welcome. About Doroth Urness Knedler, sorry no matches at all for a lot of different combinations, of the name. Carl's is in a family plot with Frank B. Sinnen the person who bought the grave plot, with Carl and 4 others. Dorothy is not in it or anywhere else in the cemetery. I took photo's of all the Sinnen's since Roselawn has all graves on Find A Grave. The cemetery has very good records and mapping online. Take care, good luck, Bob.

Thomas Gardner
There is no marker for Thomas Gardner. I will have to check with the cemetery when they are open and find out when he was interred. I was just at the library but didn't have his info with me. I will try to go back soon but it could be two weeks before I get there. I checked the Longmont Ledger on line and his name is not listed. The old Daily Times Call is not on line but the library has an indexes based on prior to 1977 and 1978 to present.

France's military intervention into its former North African colony of Mali, dubbed Operation Serval, could become another Afghanistan if France and other European Union members are lured into a long campaign of counterinsurgency based on nation building, instead of one that remains focused on airstrikes and ground operations by Special Forces trained in unconventional warfare.
As the Dutch Foreign Minister said, "…there is not one European country that can hide if this threat would present itself to the European continent."
Unless Western, social egalitarian countries like France are prepared to implement the kind of counterinsurgency tactics carried out by the infamous Selous Scouts in former Rhodesia, then these ferociously well-armed, highly mobile faith driven Jihadists will blend back into the harsh north African terrain only to terrorise the next weak State.
While in antithesis to how Western voters expect their nations to conduct war in morally and politically correct confined ways, the Algerian Government's approach to the hostage situation maybe exactly what is required to stop the jihadists in Mali, once and for all.
Perhaps the only reference most of us have to Mali the ancient city of Timbuktu. It was the centre of a major Islamic empire and the crossroads of trade in gold and salt.
Following independence from France in 1960, Mali endured 23 years of military dictatorship, brutal droughts, famine, several coups and more recently civil conflict by the northern Tuareg separatists.
It is one of the poorest countries in the world with a long history of slavery that continues to exist today with an estimated 200,000 people held under bondage.
After the over-throw of Gaddafi from Libya in 2011 many of the rebel fighters along with stockpiles of weapons made their way to Mali, joining forces with Islamist militants linked to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM), Ansar Dine the Tuareg insurgency and a group calling itself the Movement For Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO).
Since 2002 the United States has had Special Forces training the Mali Government army until in March 2012 a military coup led by Malian soldiers, fled to join the rebels.
Combined with its vast northern areas of poverty, corruption and no sign of government services, Islamic extremists, AQIM and insurgents who fled from Afghanistan have found a new sanctuary from which to enforce their warped version of Islam and Sharia Law.
France's best unconventional counterinsurgency forces are the French Foreign Legion, one of the world's elite military units with hardened Northern Africa experience.
The Legion will be the tip of the spear to eliminate the jihadists.
The problem for France is that unlike the Taliban in Afghanistan these extremists are not wedded to any particular village or community and have virtually no geographical domain.
Hunting them out of Mali will not end the threat as they can disappear back over the borders of Algeria and Libya, regroup and continue waging their insurgency attacks back into Mali.
France would do well to resist the wide use of conventional forces that may lack an understanding of the local tribal and ethnic networks, essential for prevailing in this kind of asymmetric conflict.
Conventional forces may also be confined to running missions from large Forward Operating Bases that can reduce situational awareness for soldiers rather than living and attacking from behind enemy lines.
France's African coalition includes over 3,000 troops from Mali, Nigeria and Chad, experienced in desert warfare and familiar with the mindset of village, community and ethnic life in this harsh environment.
It would be more effective to use the Foreign Legion, in combination with African troops to maintain an intense, guerrilla raiding style strategy as well as continuing air strikes.
This was effectively how the U.S defeated the Taliban in late 2001.
The big question is whether France, the EU and its African partners have both the resources necessary to drive the extremists completely out of northern Mali and the stomach for the kind of campaign that may be required.
The axis of Islamic Jihadists that have joined forces in Mali are a classic example of how the seeds of radicalisation can drift into failed or failing states that have remained absent from the public's mind.
While our attention has been on Afghanistan, since 2002 the U.S has invested heavily in a counterterrorism program in Northern Africa, including arming and training Malian government forces.
The Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) with its large USAID budget for schools and youth programs, has had marginal results in limiting the progress of the Islamic Jihadists.
These outside extremists in Mali have driven thousands people from their homes in the North after destroying historical places, public executions, amputations and a ban on virtually everything local communities enjoyed.
So the typical population-centric, nation-building style of counterinsurgency we saw grow to mammoth proportions in Afghanistan, will not work.
In Mali this is like pouring water into the desert sands.
The Islamic jihadists Modus Operandi in Mali could be described as an asymmetric response by non-state Islamic actors counter our actions in Afghanistan, Yemen and the border regions of Pakistan.
By their very nature, non-state actors such as al Qaeda are borderless movements. They do not rely on a one-dimensional front line and use impressionable segments of society or fragile nations with porous borders as hosts.
Whether we like it nor not or believe there is some U.S, Western conspiracy about al Qaeda and terrorism or question the relevance of some far off land, that is all very well until it reaches your doorstep. That is what the Europeans now fear.

'Bomb them back into the stone age' ? Has a vaguely familiar ring to it ?
After the Vietnam war ended the 'domino effect' never happened. I fact our major trading partner is now Communist China.

Another conspiracy theory ? How many Australian lives is this going to cost in fighting what is basically a religous war ? Who are the 'crusaders' ?
SAm says:
Its tough. If nothing is done, evil prevails. If we go in to help, we are the devil and the bad guys just never seem to go away. Even if they do, another country will be in the exact same way not long after and it all begins again.
I read once that the only constant throughout humanities existance is War. Im believing that now, we just seem to be destined to produce horrible people that will not stop at evil acts. There will never be a break no matter what tactics are used
Fed Up says:
"Following independence from France in 1960, Mali endured 23 years of military dictatorship, brutal droughts, famine, several coups and more recently civil conflict by the northern Tuareg separatists".
French colonialism created the problem in Mali….and other countries in Africa….so they're morally responsible to fix it.
Not just by removing the current problems of terrorism but also by esuring the country becomes one of self determination free from a system left by the French.
Steve says:
When Romney brought this up during the Presidential debates all of the progressive intellectuals, and the smartest guy on the planet - you know the teleprompter guy that hasn't had a budget in 4 years, laughed at his foreign policy knowledge and his stupidity.
I do so despise "journalists" which have morphed into sinecured bloggers and party machinists with a byline.
Thanks for the story. More vindication for the grown up side of politics.
But never fear. It is just that benign religion of Islam anyway. They are our friends. Multiculturalism will fix it. Galaxy said so.
Don says:
Follow the money. Insurgencies don't cost nothing otherwise Zimbabwe would have boiled over into civil war years ago.
Andrew Mackinnon says:
The entire 'War on Terror' is a fraud to justify invasions of sovereign nations such as Mali by military power under the control of the Jewish elite, such as the United States of America, in order to take control of the resources of these nations and refashion their cultures and economies so that they can be more easily absorbed into the global government which is being prepared for the entire planet. The United Nations is intended to be this global government and is a proxy for the Jewish elite who created it on the basis of the fraudulent objective of achieving 'world peace'. The only peace that is being planned is for the Jewish elite with the humanity of the entire world as their footstool under global communism and the Jewish elite at the apex ruling over them.
The idea that political leaders in the western world (the vast majority of whom are bought and paid for puppets of the Jewish elite) are concerned about protecting their own citizens or citizens of any other country from 'terrorism' is laughable. These political leaders are not the slightest bit concerned about the humanity of others, as evidenced by their willingness to shed innocent blood in the course of these invasions in order to achieve their geopolitical objectives. Rivers of innocent blood have been shed in Afghanistan and Iraq based on nothing more than a pack of lies. This is genocide, murder and war crime.Muslims around the world have been demonised by a constant barrage of propaganda in the western media, which is predominantly owned and controlled by Jews, in order to provide the justification in the minds of the public for these immoral wars and conflicts. Muslims have been framed in the worst possible way using nothing more than lies and, in many cases, staged terror incidents like 9/11 and the 7/7 bombing in London, which were both planned by the Jewish elite and carried out by their proxies.
The idea that Muslims are the cause of the conflict in the world today is laughable. Muslims have been subject to the worst kinds of violence in wholesale over the past ten years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Palestine. Muslims are the victims, not the aggressors.
I believe in Jesus Christ and I see clearly.
Jacko says:
Nice rant, I am hoping that you are just trolling otherwise you may need to stop looking at those websites, you know the ones, and maybe expand you reading material
As for rivers of blood caused by the invasions Saddam killed more of his own people than were killed in Desert Storm 1 and 2 and the occupation, their is your weapon of mass destruction for those who hang their hat on that old chesnut as the reason for not invading.
The "Jews" rant seems awfully close to an Austrian chap who had the same viewpoint, tally after his adventure about 50 million dead.
So you believe in Jesus, guess what so do the Jews and Muslims as well as the Christians, so I don't get what that has to do with anything that you have said.
Colin says:
Better still, why don't we all just stop participating in government-sanctioned mass murder and refuse to go to war..?
Or, ugh, ugh, is that such a foreign concept to the knuckle-dragging violent members of the Solving Problems by Hitting Each Other with a Stick Society that so many of you macho types seem to be card-carrying members of..?
TheRealDave says:
The problem witht he French is they kept getting their arses handed to them and they take off back home at the first sign of bad news. The French Foreign Legion are indeed the cream of the French crop - but even they didn't do to well in North Vietnam leading up to their utter disaster at Dien Bien Phu did they?
And advocating an 'Algerian' type repsonse to terrorism? Really?? How many civvies did they manage to kill in their complete abortion of a rescue?
Those that fail to learn from history and all.
If you want a good example of proper counterinsurgency doctrine that does actually work you need not go any further than the British/Australian doctrine developed in Malaya and perfected in Vietnam, by us. Even Patraeus moved to that model eventually in Iraq and it worked wonders. Its jsut a pity we abandoned it because we've never had enough troops committed to Afghanistan or Iraq
Robinoz says:
There are plenty of "potential Afghanistan's" out there as Islam spreads it's evil and ugly face across the planet. We who value our freedom, democracy and rights to determine which, if any religion we follow, should do everything in our power to prevent the spread of this evil totalitarian regime. War is only one part, we need to stop muslim immigration to our countries, stop buying Middle Eastern oil, getting rid of halal food certifications, halal finance, and do nothing that is helpful for muslims and the spread of Islam. Islam is an affront to human decency and dignity and has not place in a civilised world.
Bruno says:
here we go Mali now. I just read that around Coober Pedy there is hundreds of billions of barrels of oil. So does this mean can stop paying ridiculous prices now to overseas countries with a large proportion of people who do not like us. Why we care for these types of things going in there and helping 10 people and pissing off another 10. How about leaving them alone, let them sell their oil for 100 of their neighbours best camels and letting them sort out their own problems. And if it so happens that one of their clans is more peaceful than the other, and that clan is insufficiently equipped then lets equip them but getting directly involved is plain stupidity. I suppose the upside of getting directly involved means when planes fly into your buildings you know who did it. But hey i'm just the grandson of peasants so I'll let the professionals decide what we should do, meanwhile while someones making a motza out of all this war business I've got a donkey to swap.
vox says:
Again. Why are we temporarily in Afghanistan, when everyone and his brother knows that the day we leave another Saddam Hussein will emerge and it's yesterday all over again.
These people, the Iraqis, Afghanistans, et al, are tribal. They are dominated by a history of agression, whether of a religous, political, or simply military nature. It's what they do, and applying our beliefs, our standards, or worse, our political system on them was always going to be more than just a bit impossible.
Of course, when our lying, duplicitous, leaders used a lie to gain entry into their lives, and that lie became quickly obvious, then none of the locals did or do trust us. And why should they?
These guys have been killing each other for hundreds of years, so Howard and Bush, and Blair, having conned everyone as to their motives said to these warring factions, We are here to stop the killing!", and to prove it they began killing people. Civilians, old men, women of all ages, kids, (no discrimination with us blokes), and also our own brave soldiers, and all for what?
Does anyone really believe that a few years of wanton killing will turn these guys into paragons of democracy?
When our soldiers leave there will be a bloodbath. The "collaborators" will be slaughtered, and twenty minutes after the last plane leaves the religous leaders will claim victory and move into the various palaces. It was ever thus!
The warmongers, (have you noticed they rarely actually go to war themselves?), will cry havoc, and call me names and then go back to their lives of being Walter Mitty, but I think I'm right. Action-man Abbott will show no regret at being part of our being lied to by him and Howard and the rest of the "Coward's Cabinet", but we won't forget. Never, ever, ever!
Cheryl from Melton says:
I don't fully understand the reason for the French going into Mali. The reasons that are given don't seem to me to be enough to go to war over. After looking around, I believe it is simply that the French are worried about they will lose all their access to the uranium that they need to power the country. All it is greed really, nothing to do withTaliban….. That is just an excuse ... I think!

'The disc is a splendid and colourful addition to the Abbey Choir's recordings of special services. They themselves are in fine form, sovereign (as befits the status of their church) in musical confidence, as well placed as the bright-toned voices of the boys who rise with an aplomb many opera house choruses might envy to the high Cs of the Langlais Mass, and show their mastery in still more wonderful ways by finding the notes scattered with hide-and-seek devilry in Tippet's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. And in that connection the soloist Nicholas Trapp deserves particular mention. Their style, under James O'Donnell's sure direction, is forthright and spirited, well attuned to the Jacobean mysticism of Dering's Factus est silentium as to Howell's ecstatic Sequence for St Michael … Kenneth Leighton's Responses are subtly varied and inventive' (Gramophone)

Hyperion is delighted to present this latest CD from The Choir of Westminster Abbey under their inspirational director, James O'Donnell. They continue their exploration of the rich repertoire of the liturgy in its historical context in the Abbey with music for the Feast of St Michael and All Angels. The texts for Michaelmas are uniquely dramatic and visionary, describing the angelic host and the war in heaven, and have inspired composers throughout the centuries to create settings of thrilling immediacy. This fascinating disc presents the best of these works from a range of composers. Included is most of the liturgical output of Sir Michael Tippett, whose joyful, extroverted compositional style and powerful sense of drama is perfect for the atmosphere of this festival. Langlais' tremendous Messe solennelle is unquestionably his finest piece of church music; radiant and impassioned, using the organ particularly brilliantly to create colour and emotional depth. Herbert Howells's A Sequence for St Michael is an excellent example of the mature style of the composer, an extended and substantial setting in which the Archangel's intercession is movingly invoked. These and more established favourites and rarities of the repertoire are performed here with characteristic verve and impeccable musicality in the luminous acoustic of the Abbey. |

Introduction |
Westminster Abbey is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It dominates the south side of Parliament Square in the very centre of London, flanking the Palace of Westminster whose architecture it partly inspired. Today the Abbey fulfils several roles. Every year over one million people from all over the world visit it. Many come to see the tombs of the Kings and Queens, including that of the Abbey's great patron Saint Edward, who over many centuries have been interred here, and to experience for themselves the unique atmosphere of the site of so many coronations, royal funerals and weddings, and countless other historic occasions. Others come to admire the breathtaking Gothic architecture of the church and its beautiful precincts, and to look at the many fascinating memorials to illustrious figures in British life—statesmen, scientists, writers, musicians, explorers, and many others. But what has always given the Abbey its fundamental character, and underpins everything else that happens within it, is its life of prayer and worship dating back to its foundation as a Benedictine monastery over one thousand years ago.
It is thought that a monastic community was established by Saint Dunstan on the present site in about 959. In the mid-eleventh century a new Abbey church was built by King Edward. In the early thirteenth century, reflecting the growing importance of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Henry III added a Lady Chapel, and later built the present Abbey church in the Gothic style, incorporating a new shrine for the remains of Saint Edward, which had become a significant focus of pilgrimage. The Lady Chapel had its own pattern of Offices (or services) which took place in parallel with those in the main Abbey church. Later in the thirteenth century musical practice in the Lady Chapel began to diverge markedly from the plainsong sung by the monks in the Abbey church, and polyphonic music and organ music began to be included. The Abbot appointed a professional musician (not a monk) to oversee the Lady Chapel's music, and, most important, boys from the Abbey's almonry school were introduced into the Lady Chapel choir for the first time. In this way the seeds of today's Abbey Choir were sown. By the time the monastery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540 the daily Offices sung by the boys and men of the Lady Chapel choir had been established for many decades. The Abbey's present choral foundation is provided for in Elizabeth I's charter of 1560, which established the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster in place of the former monastic structure and granted it the status of a 'royal peculiar' (that is, under the immediate authority of the Crown and independent of episcopal control). Today the Abbey is still governed according to Elizabeth's collegiate structure and the choral foundation she established exists in much the same form. Over the centuries since the founding charter, some immensely distinguished musicians have been associated with the Abbey, including Orlando Gibbons (Organist 1623–5), Henry Purcell (1679–95), and John Blow (1669–79 and 1695–1708), and it has been the setting for the first performances of countless works, not least those composed specially for coronations and other great occasions by such figures as Handel, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Howells, Walton and many others. This disc contains music you might hear if you visited Westminster Abbey on the Feast of St Michael and All Angels, commonly called Michaelmas, which falls on 29 September. The programme broadly reflects the structure of the three major choral services of a great feast day, all of which can in turn be traced back to the worship familiar in the monastic era: Matins (or Morning Prayer); Eucharist (or Mass); and Evensong (or Evening Prayer). Matins The Preces and Responses are by Kenneth Leighton, who spent much of his working life as lecturer and, later, Professor of Music at the University of Edinburgh. Leighton composed much excellent choral music for the Anglican liturgy. His style combines astringent harmonic language with taut rhythms. Most importantly, he has a sure instinct for liturgical scale and practicality. These responses have gained a firm place in the repertory of many choirs, and include a particularly fine and expressive setting of The Lord's Prayer. In monastic tradition the Psalter formed the core of the daily Offices and the monks sang all 150 Psalms during the course of each week. The Anglican reformers spread the Psalter over a monthly cycle, although Proper Psalms are allocated to certain festivals. Here Psalm 148, which includes reference to Angels, is sung to an uplifting chant by Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. As is traditional, the two sides of the choir, decani and cantoris, sing much of the Psalm in alternation. The Te Deum follows. This great hymn of praise is one of the canticles prescribed for Matins and has attracted the attentions of many composers. Ralph Vaughan Williams's setting in G was composed for the enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury in December 1928. It starts with the choir in muscular unison against a propulsive, driving organ part. At 'To thee Cherubin' the choir divides into two, at first still in unison, but gradually enriching in texture. Thereafter the composer makes increasing and effective use of antiphonal exchanges between the two choirs, underscored by telling organ interjections, and then uniting again into one choir. The final section ('O Lord, save thy people') is simply set in a lilting metre and the canticle ends reflectively with one last, telling use of antiphony ('let me never be confounded'). By contrast, Benjamin Britten's Jubilate in C is a light-hearted, almost whimsical setting. It was composed in 1961 for the choir of St George's Chapel, Windsor at the instigation of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. A jolly and naive organ motif, perhaps reminiscent of Papageno's flute, is heard at the outset and appears throughout. The choral writing is direct and almost entirely limited to short, punchy phrases, very often pairing the treble with the tenor, and the alto with the bass. Eucharist Langlais' distinctive harmonic language is rooted in modality, often underlined by the use of bare fifths and organum-like parallel movement, but also enriched by astringent, more dissonant chords and modes. His choral writing is effective; he sometimes writes in severe fugal style (as in the opening sections of the Gloria and Agnus Dei), and at other times in massive homophonic blocks of sound (the Sanctus), or in delicately sinuous and supple lines (such as the Benedictus and parts of the Kyrie). The organ adds colour and dramatic impact, and generally sets the mood and tone for each movement except the Gloria, in which Langlais achieves a spine-tingling coup de théâtre by reserving the first entry of the full organ until the end of the apparently academic, opening fugal section. The Sanctus begins excitingly with a driving organ introduction that builds up to the first thrilling cry of 'Sanctus'. The Benedictus shows Langlais at his atmospheric best. The undulating organ part provides a shimmering, mystical backdrop for the otherwordly lines sung in parallel octaves by soprano and alto. In the liturgical context for which this music was conceived, this is an intensely effective and moving moment. The final Agnus Dei is dark and severe in mood until it reaches the final 'dona nobis pacem', which begins softly and then builds rapidly into an impassioned, blazing cry for peace as the grand organ brings the Mass to its radiant conclusion. Sir Michael Tippett's output of liturgical music is small, and indeed most of it appears on this disc. The anthem Plebs angelica occupies a unique place in the English choral repertoire. It was composed for the choir of Canterbury Cathedral in 1943. Tippett chose to set this striking poetic text in the original Latin (an unusual, even bold choice at the time for a work written for an Anglican cathedral choir), and the musical language makes obvious reference to Tudor choral music in its imitative, polyphonic style and the choice of unaccompanied double-choir scoring. But it is no pastiche: Tippett is revisiting and reimagining his Tudor inspiration, and this music sounds at once fresh and unmistakably modern, while also having a strong flavour of older music. The composer's sense of drama and responsiveness to the text is everywhere evident, not least at 'Vos, o Michael' and the following three phrases where each Archangel is given a distinct musical 'personality'. The closing word 'Paradisicolas' is serenely set, bringing this superb miniature to a richly luminous conclusion. Evensong Herbert Howells was acting Organist of St John's during the Second World War, having previously been a pupil of Herbert Brewer at Gloucester Cathedral, and of Stanford at the Royal College of Music, where Howells later taught. He was a prolific composer in many genres, although only his organ and church music is regularly performed and widely known. A Sequence for St Michael, also composed for the 450th anniversary of St John's College, is a substantial setting of a dramatic, originally Latin, poem in which the Archangel's intercession is passionately invoked. Although it is rarely performed, it is an excellent example of the music of the mature Howells, foreshadowing such works as Take him, earth, for cherishing in its confident command of harmonic tension and fluidity, control of choral texture, and evocative word-setting. A brief central tenor solo vividly paints the image of St Michael the mystical, priestly figure, ministering in the Temple of God. There is also a captivating but momentary treble solo towards the end of the work, adding radiance as it soars above the final repetition of the words 'Hear us, Michael'. The disc comes to a conclusion with Jonathan Harvey's Laus Deo for organ. The composer relates that the work was written after 'a vivid dream in which a shimmering Cinquecento Angel played an organ. What he played formed the main substance of Laus Deo'. Alongside the Angel, whose trumpet fanfare is the centrepiece of Harvey's vision, a fellow composer hovers about the piece like a kind of patron. Messiaen's influence is heard both in the opening paragraph (later repeated whole and in fragments) with its angular, incantatory motif, and in the progressively shorter phrases of ethereal, spooky calm: the opulent psychedelia of Turangalîla compressed into four minutes of astonishing energy and power.

H.S. boys and girls track: Jake Sabatini anchors 4-x-400 comeback to lift Ridgewood to Bergen County Relays victory
NEW YORK – Two meets ago, Jake Sabatini never had broken 54 seconds for a 400 leg, either in an open race or even on a relay split.
But when he ran 52.8 for second place in the Big North Freedom race Jan. 14, the sprinter began to realize that the 400 was no longer just a secondary event to the short sprints he usually ran as a featured event.
"I think I was too immature as a sophomore to put everything I had into the 400 and I had to learn how to run the event,'' said Sabatini, a Ridgewood junior.
If there was any question that Sabatini has learned the 400 — at least as a relay anchor — that was dispelled Monday night at the Bergen County Relays.
With Ridgewood needing at least a second-place finish in the night's final event, the 4-x-400 relay, to come from behind to catch Hackensack to win the boys large-school division, Sabatini was fourth when he took the baton for his two laps at the Armory Track Center. He moved quickly into third, but the anchors of Don Bosco and Teaneck seemed too far ahead to be caught. But as Sabatini hit the final lap, the Teaneck anchor came into view and Sabatini took off.
"I saw him in front of me and I knew I had to beat him for us to have a chance to win the meet," he said, and he dashed into second on the turn.
"Then I looked up and saw the Don Bosco kid dying, and I figured why not try and catch him, too."
Sabatini went by easily and won the final event, clinching a 53-50 win for the Maroons. His 50.8 anchor 400, coupled with medal-winning runs in the sprint medley and 4-x-200, earned him the Alan Wedemeier Award as the outstanding male athlete in the meet.
"Some people think track and field isn't a team sport, but they're wrong," Sabatini said. "I could see how hard my guys were working in every event and I had a chance to help us bring it home."
Ridgewood was joined by River Dell's girls in winning the large-school division and Ramsey swept the small-school trophies, with the girls winning for the first time.
