Think about how many times someone stood in front of a large group that had you as a member. Recall when such people talked to the left of you, the right of you and over your head. They might have yelled, screamed and threatened, but they just did not seem to be talking directly to you. These folks specialize in ordering you around, rather than explaining the reasons for the task.
No one likes to be threatened. It usually causes us to tune out the speaker. I went through countless speeches, lectures and harangues like this during my 26 years of military service, active and reserve. If we poor, dumb swine didn't do this or that, we would all be in trouble.
Maybe these events had an initial short-term impact on me in my youth, but on reflection, I made an important discovery. Whoever the "they" at the time might have been, they couldn't put us all into the brig. Think about it. There would be no one to do the work if we were all in the slammer breaking up the big rocks to create gravel. After a time, I came to the conclusion that the best thing for me to do was find the kernel of the thought that was being yelled at me and shoot to do that thing, whatever it might have been.
This is a type of communication that I now choose to define as "talking at" people. Ideas are sent flying, but no return communication is solicited. This leads to frustration on the part of the audience and diminished performance toward the goal or goals being spoken about.
The next type of communication style that I would like to discuss is the "talking to" kind of interaction. My perception is that it is a more preferable form of interaction. This comes from the fact that it is being directed to an individual, or at most a small group. I use this type of mechanism for sharing concerns, outlining courses of action and offering constructive advice.
Although the thrust of this style of communication is extremely positive in nature, the words are still couched in the words of a lecture to someone or some group. Short shrift is usually given to the concept of feedback as a determinant of successful communication. During the past several years, I have taught a number of courses that involved communication and decision-making skills. One of the keys to success in each of those skills involves the successful use of feedback, as a tool to guide the discussion of the concept and the actions that are desired from the communication or the decision interaction.
There is a third type of interaction that combines the best of all worlds. This is the concept of "talking with" people. This is the interaction between people that includes a degree of give and take on both sides. This skill involves a concept known as active listening. After you present your idea, you look and listen for the clues and cues that your idea has been properly received.
What are some of the components of active listening? Foremost is silence during the moments when the target of your communications effort is replying to you. Two people cannot talk at once.
Right after silence comes the skill of paying attention to the words being spoken. Do not be thinking of your response to the other person at the same time that he or she is speaking. You can miss important parts of the other person's thoughts. Paying attention means just that.
Once the other person has stopped, you can begin your assessment of feedback, which you are delivering in response to their feedback. Do not think that this is any easy thing to do. I have been working on this problem for over 20 years, and I am still a work-in-progress.
Another trait to avoid is finishing people's sentences for them. Do not add words to their thoughts. Let them finish in their own way. By injecting your thoughts, you may drive them away from the things they wanted to communicate to you in response to your initial thoughts.

Brazil has been a relatively bright spot in a broadly sluggish global economy. But it's hard to know how much its rapid growth has been fueled by credit, a problem that could mean trouble down the road.

To keep the country's economy growing, Brazil's central bank has been easing controls on lending -- a policy that is likely to add to an already rapidly growing consumer debt burden. Total outstanding credit was up 19.6 percent in September from a year earlier, driven by a 47 percent rise in mortgage loans, according to Bloomberg News.

The official figures, though, provide only part of the picture. Brazil has a huge informal economy that runs in part on a kind of informal credit called "vende-se fiado," or store tabs. Here's how it works: A person goes to a bakery and buys bread, and the seller writes down the name of the person alongside the item purchased and the amount. At the end of a stipulated period, the seller hopes (only in good faith) that the buyer will pay him back.

Small businesses in Brazil use such loans to attract and retain customers, and to gain space in the marketplace. In smaller cities, retail establishments that demand payment up front find it hard to stay in business. Because informal loans are documented only in the form of store tabs, the government has no good measure of how much credit has been extended, and store owners have little recourse if loans aren't repaid.

Such small lenders stand to bear the brunt of the pain if Brazil's consumers run into financial trouble. Many Brazilians haven't been trained in the use of formal credit or in how to control debt. With inflation running at close to 7 percent and credit-card companies charging interest rates of 12 percent per month or more, some are already feeling the pinch. The default rate on consumer loans stood at 6.8 percent in September, up from 5.7 percent at the start of the year.

Faced with a choice between paying a vendor's tab and staying current on high-interest financing (for a house or a car), Brazilian consumers are likely to prioritize the latter. That's not an encouraging picture for myriad small businesses, or for the millions of people they employ.

LARGO, Fla. —
Matthew E. Sopher of Indian Rocks Beach, Fla., passed away peacefully with his children at his side Monday morning, Feb. 25, 2013, in Largo Medical Center from complications of an extended illness. He was 81.
Mr. Sopher was born Oct. 7, 1931, in Grove City, the middle son of Matthew Dentin Sopher and Virginia Hitchcock Sopher of Grove City.
He graduated from Grove City High School in 1950 after playing on the Grove City Eagles football team with his two brothers.
He enlisted in the Marine Corps and was honorably discharged after several cruises associated with the Korean conflict.
He returned home to attend Grove City College and major in accounting. While there, he worked part time at Shelly Funeral Home, joined Beta Sigma Fraternity and decided to "stay in town" to establish his career.
He was soon swept off his feet by the sweet smile of a lovely brunette nurse in a blue convertible and married Alice Cleo Sholler of Harrisville on July 23, 1955.
Matt and Alice were the proud parents of Melinda Beth "Mindy" Sopher of Raleigh, N.C., a faculty member at North Carolina State University; and Michael Eugene Sopher of Indian Rocks Beach, a lumber broker.
The Sopher family made their home in Grove City until Alice passed away in 2004. Matt then moved to Florida, where he was delighted to share his final years with Michael and his family, Joann Nelson, and her children Shannon, 17, and Eric, 14.
He was employed by Cooper Bessemer in Grove City, then managed several trucking companies for the majority of his life, ending his career as general manager of J Miller Express in Mercer and president of its dry bulk division. He did private and contract accounting work after he retired.
Matt was a member of Tower Presbyterian Church, Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Fraternal Order of Eagles, all Grove City. He was a leader in the Grove City Jaycees, with whom he helped create the annual Grove City Street Fair.
"Mac Jr." followed in father "Mac's" footsteps and became a Master Mason at Free and Accepted Masons Lodge 603, Grove City, then served as DeMolay advisor when son Michael was master councilor.
He was an active member of the American Trucking Association and enjoyed traveling with Alice to ATA conventions around the country. His membership in Grove City Country Club included great memories with a wonderful longtime golf foursome and "at least two" holes-in-one.
He was thankful for the love of his siblings, his older brother Robert "Bob," Hermitage, and his wife Sally; his sister, Evelyn Robertson, The Villages, Fla., and her husband Michael; his sister, Frances Herring, Humble, Texas, and her husband Bob; and his younger brother, Dick "Richard" C., and his wife Carole, Bethel Park, Pa. Their combined 14 children gave Matt and Alice wonderful nieces and nephews to enjoy and cherish.
Matt was predeceased by his parents; his younger brother, Dick Sopher; and a brother-in-law, Mike Robertson.
Matt was a model of strength and grace as he battled both melanoma and leukemia, while his wife and daughter fought three other cancers. He loved the Marine Corps, Chinese cooking, golf, travel, reading, Pittsburgh Steelers football, professional boxing, "dancing with his bride," breeding English bulldogs and bragging about his children. Most of all, he loved Alice.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to "The Sopher Scholarship Fund" to support higher education graduate work and, as Matt said, "perpetuate the good family name" at www.kappadelta.org/makefoundationdonation; help kids have a nice Christmas through the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation at www.toysfortots.org/donate/tribute-donation.asp; or Pretty in Pink Foundation to directly help cancer survivors at www.prettyinpinkfoundation. org
The family expresses sincere appreciation to Matt's caregivers at Largo Medical Center and Hospice, Bay Pines Veteran's Hospital, his western Pennsylvania oncology team; Father Bob of Calvary Episcopal Church in Indian Rocks Beach; and their wonderful family, "extended family" and lifelong friends, Pat and George Shontz of Madeira Beach, Fla., formerly of Grove City, for the exceptional care and love Matt received through the years.
Service: As per his wishes, the family will host a celebration of Matt's life including military honors on the beach in Florida later this spring. Please post condolences and share memories at www.davidcgross.com

Hidden danger: undeclared allergens lurk in many foods
Monday, June 9, 2014 9:44 AM EDT
Monday, June 9, 2014 11:09 AM EDT
BY JONEL ALECCIA, NBC News
(NBC News) - A Seattle family's summer camping trip barely escaped tragedy last year after their highly allergic 7-year-old ate a mislabeled snack food that could have cost her
life — an alarming example of what food safety experts say are growing reports of undeclared allergens that can lead to potentially serious harm.
Isabelle Thomelin bit into what she thought were chocolate-covered banana pieces, only to realize too late that they were actually chocolate-covered walnuts.
"She comes racing back to the camp and she's saying, 'I had a nut! I had a nut!'" said Toni Thomelin, Isabelle's mother, recalling the July 2013 scare.
Food Allergy Research & Education website
Within minutes, the girl diagnosed as a toddler with a severe tree nut allergy developed hives around her mouth and began having trouble breathing. The family was camped at a rural site near Washington state's Grand Coulee Dam, miles from any hospital, but her parents hustled Isabelle and her sister into the car and started racing toward the nearest emergency room.
"It took us almost 20 minutes and spotty cell phone service," recalled Toni
, 41, a technology industry worker. "We were out of cell phone range and I was trying to call an ambulance."
Five hours and a dose of steroids later, Isabelle recovered, but the memory still haunts the now-8-year-old girl.
"It was a pretty traumatic event for her," Toni
said. "She was eating something she thought was safe, something she'd eaten before. It never dawned on us that something could be completely
In fact, many foods that U.S. consumers routinely buy have the potential to be
— and dangerous, food safety experts say. The most common food recalls in the U.S. aren't for salmonella, listeria or other pathogens. Instead, they're for eight undeclared allergens — milk, egg, peanuts, soy, fish, crustacean shellfish, wheat and tree nuts — that accidentally get into foods because of manufacturing errors.
No one keeps tabs on how many injuries or deaths have been caused by undeclared allergens, but Food and Drug Administration researchers found dozens of reactions associated with recalls reported from 2005 to 2010 — and 10 percent to 15 percent of such reactions are severe and can lead to death if untreated.
There have been nearly 70 such recalls so far this year, including an announcement last week that Ocean Spray, the top maker of dried cranberries, is recalling two production lots of its Greek Yogurt Covered Craisins because the snacks may contain peanuts instead.
"This is one of our worst nightmares!" Toni
said. "Covered with yogurt, never would we expect the inside to be a peanut."
"She was eating something she thought was safe, something she'd eaten before. It never dawned on us that something could be completely
For the up to 15 million people across the country who suffer from food allergies, such mistakes can be life-threatening, said John L. Lehr, chief executive of the advocacy group Food Allergy Research and Education, or FARE.
"Undeclared allergens are definitely a source of concern because they can have serious consequences," he said. "Every three minutes, someone is being taken to the emergency room for a food allergy reaction."
And such recalls are growing, government researchers say. Between 2005 and 2010, there were 1,637 food recalls in the U.S., including 520 for undeclared allergens, or 31 percent. When FDA officials checked again last year, using the agency's Reportable Food Registry database, undeclared allergens accounted for 44 percent of the recalls.
And those are the equivalent of Class I recalls, the most dangerous type, where there is a likelihood of serious adverse events for allergic consumers. In the 2005 to 2010 study, 64 of the allergen recalls resulted in reactions that affected 96 people.
Ten percent to 15 percent of such allergic reactions are severe or result in anaphylaxis, a severe, full-body reaction that can lead to death within minutes if left untreated. "Alarmingly, two-thirds or more of these cases involved children," FDA researchers wrote.
And those are only the reported reactions. There's no universal monitoring system for allergic reactions in the U.S. and emergency department reports often fail to say whether such problems are caused by food, said Steven Gendel, the FDA's food allergen coordinator.
Consumers often think of peanuts as the top allergen, perhaps because of growing discussion about topics like peanut-free lunch tables and allergy bullying in schools — and because the number of allergic kids in the U.S. jumped by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But milk is actually the chief cause of reactions from undeclared allergens, FDA researchers say. Milk can make its way into many foods in many forms, with disastrous results.
"A trace amount of milk can lead to a very serious reaction," Lehr said.
The only way to prevent allergic reactions is to avoid them entirely, said Dr. Stephen A. Tilles, an asthma and allergy specialist in Seattle. And the only way to treat them is with a dose of epinephrine — a so-called EpiPen — which counteracts the allergen quickly. Undeclared allergens pose a far smaller problem than outright mistakes — eating foods made with known triggers. Still, they're dangerous, Tilles said.
"Especially in these families that have done a good job of avoiding allergens, it's easy to be caught off guard," he said, noting that he advises families to have an allergy emergency plan in place, including practicing using the EpiPen.
"Every three minutes, someone is being taken to the emergency room for a food allergy reaction."
The key to avoiding undeclared allergens is to understand that they occur — and to be looped into
particular product recalls. FARE reaches about 120,000 people through its system of email alerts, and others subscribe to recall notices offered by the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. But those sources cover just a fraction of people who could potentially be exposed to hundreds of foods laced with undeclared allergens each year.
The risks that allergens pose in food was formally recognized in 2004, when Congress passed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, or FALCPA, which requires product labels to declare if they include one of the "Big Eight" allergens. But the law doesn't stop mistakes from happening, said Steve L. Taylor, professor and co-director of the Food Allergy Research and Resource Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"The major reason for recalls is putting the wrong product in the box or container," he said. "You make a mistake and you put the peanut butter granola bars in the oatmeal granola bar box. That could be a pretty serious situation."
The FDA is bolstering existing rules with new ones that specifically target allergens under the new Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA.
Often it's the situation seen with the yogurt-coated Craisins, which were produced by a separate co-packer, a bulk packager that doesn't actually make the foods, according to Ocean Spray. The products were packed by machines that failed to differentiate between yogurt-covered dried cranberries and yogurt-covered peanuts.
Companies frequently learn of the problem when a consumer alerts them — or reports a reaction, Taylor said. Three people complained about finding peanuts in the Ocean Spray snacks, but there were no reports of allergic reactions, a company spokeswoman said.
Large companies like Ocean Spray make headlines with allergen recalls, but it's the many small firms with problems that pose more of a threat, Taylor added. They're often less stringent about preventing contamination and when problems occur, consumers are less likely to hear about them.
It was a co-packer's error that led to the chocolate-covered walnuts in Isabelle Thomelin's treats.
Kristain Stone, a spokeswoman for Tropical Valley Foods Inc., the small Plattsburgh, New York, firm that made the Next by Nature Dark Chocolate Bananas that Isabelle ate, told NBC News the firm switched to hand-packing after the incident.
The banana products were recalled on May 16, 2013, but they were still on local store shelves two months later when the Thomelins stocked up on snacks for camp. Getting recalled foods properly off the market is yet another problem, food safety officials say.
"It is very scary. You feel very out of control," Toni
said. "Now we avoid chocolate-covered anything, of course. You don't really know what you're biting into."

The day you walked away you left the hurt behind
A hurt that kept on growing all the time
A hurt that lit the match that burned my world down
Till everything was gone gone gone
And now I'm left among the ashes of my dreams searching for a reason to go on
But all that's left is hurt and hurt is not enough when everything is gone gone gone
[ piano ]
Now in my quiet garden I found peace at last I've left the hurt behind me in the past
I walk among the flowers that bloom here in the sun
And all the hurt is gone gone gone
But then at night they come and take me to my room
And like a little child I go along
And if my room has force it's not that I've done wrong
Yes just my mind is gone gone gone

Sophie, my rescue springer spaniel, has (with the help of tumblr) been able to beat an aggressive cancer - at 8 years old. Unfortunately, after only 6 months, she's in danger again… and this time it's worse.
It's called a Sarcoma nerve sheath tumor, and it's eating her leg up. With much consideration of all treatment options, I have made the decision to have her leg amputated to try to stop the cancer from spreading any further. I need $4,500. I'm desperate to save my little dog. She is really all I have in this world, and I can't bear the thought of losing her. It hurts to know that she will possibly be spending her 9th birthday awaiting surgery this month. But I'm willing to do anything to save her. She is strong, she has fight in her. I won't let her suffer. Tumblr, please you didn't let me down the last time. Help us beat this cancer for good.
Here's the link to donate to the GoFundMe website:
PLEASE HELP SAVE SOPHIE! If you can't donate, then please consider trying to Tweet this, reblog this, facebook this, email it pin it, post it on Google+, instagram it - I DON'T CARE, just spread this like wildfire please. We don't have much time. There will also be a donate button that links to my pay pal on my art blog:
please use the hastags #save sophie & #heyouwitheface when you reblog / post / tweet
I will be updating her status as much as I can. THANK YOU <3
There hasn't been much of anything in donations at all, I'm getting a bit worried. With only a week left - I still have that feeling that I might not make it to the finish line with more than the skin of my teeth.
Please, boost this. I am really afraid for Sophie. She isn't eating hardly anymore. Help us please.
If everyone who boosted this gave $1 in person, or $5 online, I'd have enough for the surgery ages ago. Plus chemo. plus therapy. Plus adopting another dog even. & plus saving some other persons pet. Please. Every dollar helps.

Genre: Paranormal/Urban Fantasy
The mythic tale of Persephone and Hades is retold with a fascinating new twist in the awesome Cast's latest fantasy. Cast is, without a doubt, one of the freshest and most original voices in romantic fantasy fiction today.
Thanks to her incompetent accountant, Lina Santoro's bakery is in deep trouble with the IRS. She will need a miracle to get out of this financial mess. While working on new recipes found in an ancient Italian goddess cookbook, Lina invokes a prayer to the goddess Demeter. Suddenly Lina is swept to Olympus, where Demeter has a proposition for her: Lina will take the place of her daughter Persephone as she makes a visit to Hades and the Underworld, and Persephone will take over Lina's life and run her bakery. Hoping to save her business, Lina agrees.
All Lina's preconceptions about Hades and the Underworld are quickly blown out of the water. Hades, while dark and brooding, is also amazingly sexy and attractive. Lina's job is to bring the breath of spring to the inhabitants of the Underworld, and she is not about to shirk her duties, no matter what complications arise.

Breastfeeding may just be the most unnatural natural thing a new mother can do.
While the rewards are ultimately great, it's far from easy in the beginning. There's a steep learning curve with plenty of stumbling blocks along the way, and your little partner in the journey is pretty darn demanding.
And for those who return to work outside the home and want to continue nursing, there's a whole new set of complicating factors.
Luckily, there are plenty of products out there to help moms along. Is it possible to breastfeed without such accessories? Of course.
But adding a few key pieces to your arsenal only makes things easier. And what new mom doesn't like easy?

Venus pulls out of US Open with illness
Two days after playing her first match in two months, Venus Williams suddenly pulled out of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, revealing she recently was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain.
The 31-year-old American has won seven Grand Slam titles, including at Flushing Meadows in 2000 and 2001.
''I enjoyed playing my first match here, and wish I could continue but right now I am unable to,'' Williams said in a statement released by the tournament. ''I am thankful I finally have a diagnosis and am now focused on getting better and returning to the court soon.''
She was supposed to face 22nd-seeded Sabine Lisicki in the second round Wednesday.
Williams cited a virus when withdrawing from hard-court tuneup tournaments since losing in the fourth round at Wimbledon in late June.
She returned to action Monday, beating Vesna Dolonts 6-4, 6-3 in the first round in New York, then said: ''No one is more in one-match-at-a-time mode than me now at this tournament. It will just be one match at a time, for sure.''
According to the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation website, the disease is a chronic autoimmune illness in which people's white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands. Common symptoms include dry eyes and dry mouth. As many as 4 million Americans have the disease.
In rare cases, it can cause arthritis and joint pain, said Dr. John Fitzgerald, director of clinical rheumatology at UCLA. Fitzgerald is not involved in treating Williams and does not know her symptoms or medical history. But, he said, if Williams has the typical symptoms, ''it does not seem life-threatening or career-ending.''
Williams arrived at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Wednesday hours before her match was scheduled to begin and tried warming up by hitting balls.
When Williams left the site shortly before 5 p.m., wearing a white sweater and purple shorts, she was asked by reporters whether she would say anything. She smiled and waved and shook her head to indicate, ''No,'' then climbed into the back of a tournament transportation car and rode away.
''All of us came with the full expectation she'd be playing today. She was geared up to play her match,'' said Williams' agent, Carlos Fleming.
''I just hope she's OK,'' Fleming added, ''and I hope she's healthy and going to be fine.''
Despite all of her past success, including a brief stint at No. 1 in the rankings, Williams was unseeded at the U.S. Open, because she has fallen to 36th after a year of little action. Since reaching the semifinals at last year's U.S. Open, Williams has played only 11 matches, and the WTA projects that her ranking now will slide out of the top 100.
Her younger sister, Serena, a 13-time Grand Slam champion, is scheduled to play her second-round match Thursday.
On Monday, Venus Williams was asked about the illness that caused her to skip tournaments this summer. She said that night that her ailment had been diagnosed, but wouldn't say what it was.
''It was just energy-sucking, and I just couldn't play pro tennis,'' she said Monday. ''It was disappointing, because I had huge plans for this summer, of course, to improve my ranking. To miss out on all those points was definitely devastating. Just to miss so much time off tour was just disheartening. But I'm just really excited to be back.''
Lisicki said she saw Venus Williams on the practice courts and in the locker room and expected to play their match — until the tournament referee passed along the news of the withdrawal.
''She's a tough girl, and I think she'll come back. You know, it would be unfortunate if she couldn't,'' Lisicki said. ''Serena and Venus both are amazing players, and it's nice to have them in the women's sport. I hope she comes back.''
Said Andy Roddick about Williams and her career: "If you think about [Venus and Serena Williams'] story, actually think about it, I think we take Venus and Serena for granted. They are living legends and, five years down the road, we will realize how much we miss them. Two girls from Compton dominating women's tennis, that's not an everyday story. Venus is the epitome of class, the way she's gone about it. When I think of her I think of Wimbledon. I feel that's where she belongs, right there. But if Venus isn't playing the US Open, I'm very concerned because it's got to be something. She didn't withdraw because she's sneezing too much."

WASHINGTON — The Affordable Care Act's mandate for contraception coverage is a textbook case of government intrusion on Hobby Lobby's right to exercise religion, attorneys for the Oklahoma City-based chain of craft stores contend in a new legal filing.
Contraception mandate burdens religious exercise, Hobby Lobby argues
Just six weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case, Hobby Lobby told the justices in a brief filed Monday that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 makes no distinction between individuals and corporations.
"Ultimately, whether it is the individuals, the corporations, or both who are exercising religion, the government cannot simply wish away the reality that its policies substantially burden (Hobby Lobby's) religious exercise in a wholly unjustified manner," the brief states.
Hobby Lobby, a national chain of more than 500 stores, and Mardel, a Christian bookstore chain, are closely held corporations owned by David Green and his family and operated according to their religious beliefs.
The companies do not object to providing health care plans that cover most of the contraceptives mandated by the government under the Affordable Care Act. However, they oppose four that can prevent an embryo from implanting in the womb: Plan B, Ella and two intrauterine devices.
"Respondents believe that human beings deserve protection from the moment of conception, and that providing insurance coverage for items that risk killing an embryo makes them complicit in abortion," the brief filed Monday states.
The Obama administration is asking justices to reverse a ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Hobby Lobby and Mardel have the same rights that individuals have under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
A similar case involving a Pennsylvania furniture company owned by Mennonite Christians has been combined with the Hobby Lobby case; a federal appeals court ruled that the company, Conestoga Wood, did not have the same First Amendment religious protections as individuals.

American composer Robert Ashley – who reinvented opera with electronics and avant garde techniques – died yesterday at the age of 83.
Ashley (March 28, 1930 – March 3, 2014) was known for radically rethinking the concept of opera – reimagining it for TV and for recordings. and incorporating electronic instruments and electronic manipulation of speech.
In one work, Automatic Writing, Ashley recorded his involuntary speech (from Tourette's Syndrome) and used it as one of the characters in his opera. The other three 'characters' were:

The vibrato in the samples was also planned in such a way that it gives an extra human level, but isn't controlled by software, allowing it to breathe more like a real instrument rather than sound like a 'Kontakt instrument'.

The Supreme Court has ended the efforts of two local governments to prevent some immigrants from renting apartments.
The justices on Monday declined to take up appeals from the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch, Texas, or the city of Hazleton, Pa., of lower court rulings that blocked local ordinances regulating rental housing. Both were intended to keep people who are in the country illegally from finding housing in those jurisdictions.
The Supreme Court held in 2012 that immigration is primarily a matter for the federal government, ruling out most local and state laws targeting illegal immigration. The Hazleton case also involved an ordinance that would have denied permits to businesses that hired people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Non-mining taking investment slack: Swan
- From: AAP
- June 25, 2013
FEDERAL Treasurer Wayne Swan has dismissed fears that there will be an investment "strike" once the boom in mining project construction fades.
He's told a conference the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data for business capital expenditure showed non-mining investment plans were expected to strengthen in 2013/14.
"There is no indication of any kind of 'capital strike', which one sometimes hears about on the fringe of the business commentariat," Mr Swan told the Committee for Economic Development in Australia conference in Canberra on Tuesday.
"In fact, total investment, private and public, is close to 30 per cent of GDP - close to its highest level in 40 years."
Mr Swan also pointed to a 10 per cent rise in new dwelling investment over the past year, which was the largest annual rise in a decade.
The recent fall in the Australian dollar against the US dollar should also help the transition from mining investment to broad-based growth in the economy.
But Mr Swan also said it would be a year or two before mining investment begins to tail off, which was enough time for other investment sectors to take up the slack.
The recent surge in mining investment was already starting to generate a very big increase in commodities exports, as production on major projects kicks in.
"Iron ore exports are still ramping up, and we've barely begun to see the boom in LNG exports from massive investment in new extraction and processing facilities," Mr Swan said.
New LNG facilities will start to enter the production phase from around 2014/15, with exports expected to grow by nearly 120 per cent over the following three years.
"On these forecasts, Australia should become the world's largest LNG exporter by the end of the decade," Mr Swan said.
The treasurer also said a fall in international LNG prices was unlikely to be an impediment.
"I think there is a great deal of scepticism internationally that for the longer term - as opposed to the shorter term - that this poses a fundamental challenge to the investment that has been put into LNG here," he said.

Wales braced for England response
January 25, 2010
Ian Gough is expecting a big response from England © Getty Images
Ospreys lock Ian Gough does not believe that England's poor showing in the Heineken Cup will have any bearing on their Six Nations campaign.
Northampton were the only English side to qualify for the last eight of Europe's top competition, but Gough insisted that any disappointment would have subsided by the time Wales arrive at Twickenham on February 6.
Gough joined the rest of the Wales squad at their first day of training on Monday after helping the Ospreys into the last eight following a controversial win over Leicester.
"It is a bit of a confidence blow for them, to be honest," he said. "They have always had a very strong representation at this stage of Europe, and I am sure they will be very disappointed.
"Either way though, the players are in a different camp now. England are a very professional outfit, and it's about what they do over the next couple of weeks. It might be a confidence blip now, but two weeks is a long time in rugby. It's a big time for England - they are under a lot of pressure.
"Results and performances haven't gone their way, so they are still striving, but it only takes a bit of a purple patch to get that confidence up."
Wales also saw Cardiff Blues and the Scarlets into the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup after victories over Harlequins and Brive respectively.
"It has been a good couple of weeks," Wales assistant coach Rob Howley said. "The Ospreys have delivered in Europe, the Scarlets produced the goods in Brive and the Blues delivered at Quins a week after beating Sale.
"But we have all played in England versus Wales games, and it is what happens in those 80 minutes that count. Our players will have gained a huge amount of confidence and self-belief, but they know it's a different game in two weeks' time.
"The Heineken Cup is an important barometer, and the players have had a good hit-out in that. Our sole focus now is England. You win your first game in the Six Nations, and the momentum is with you. This is a big first game."
