THE CITY'S Great Fire of 1889 ignited a new boomtown energy as businesses took out loans to begin the great labor of rebuilding more than 30 city blocks.
The technology for running electric trolleys came to Seattle only months before the fire. After the destruction, trolley systems and cable cars began to send out trunk lines in most directions from the city's core. Many in the immigrant tide needed cheaper land to build their homes — sites not in old Seattle but not far from it. The new common carriers to Ballard, the University District (still named Brooklyn then), Beacon Hill and those on the east shore of Lake Washington obliged.
Three lines reached the lake — at Leschi, Madison and Madrona. There, each of them featured parks and other attractions like promenades, canoes for hire and nature trails. The line to Madrona was the last of the three; and where the trolley cars descended to the lake, they were in the embrace of a picturesque forest. On reaching the lake, riders found bathhouses, a dance pavilion and rustic benches distributed along paths that led back into the forest. The hotel shown here greeted them at lake's edge.
The Madrona hotel was built in 1892, and that's the date penciled on the flip side of the original photo card produced by A.J. McDonald, a photographer responsible for a few of the best suburban scenes hereabouts in the early 1890s. On the left, a trolley car stands at the end of its line. Perhaps McDonald rode that car to the park to make this impression, while the conductor waited for him to return for the ride back to Pioneer Square, with a First Hill transfer on Broadway Avenue to a James Street cable car. The fare from waterfront to waterfront was 5 cents.

Weasel words
In advertising there is a language called doublespeak , which was designed to distort or disguise the meaning of even the simplest word that promoters use to sell their products . William Lutz , in his book coined the term weasel words to mean words that advertisers use to appear to be making a claim for a product when in truth most of the claims are fraud , untruthful and doesn 't live up to their claims Everyday words such as help , new , improved , better , extra , etc , are only some of which are blatantly used by advertisers
to make products appear more appealing , of high-quality , `better ' than other products or even better then the products they introduce to the market . If we look closely to the words that advertisers use to make their sales soar high these words are actually empty or the opposite of what they are saying Visual images on tv , magazines , newss along with a tricky but memorable tag line , enhances the salability of a product
Everyday , we go thru our lives buying products without even paying attention to what we are purchasing . We tend to buy products thru recall , what we see in the television , hear in the radio or read in newss or magazines . We forgot to scrutinize these products to be able to get the value for our money . This article gave me a lot of insights on how we can detect if the product advertisement or the product itself is being true to their claims or not...

Irish runner fails test for EPO
Sunday 08 August 2004
While the presence of Marion Jones in Europe yesterday would appear to scupper suggestions that she might not travel to the Athens Olympics in light of investigations by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the shadow of drugs in the countdown to the Games spread across the Atlantic into Irish athletics, with the distance runner Cathal Lombard testing positive for EPO.
While the presence of Marion Jones in Europe yesterday would appear to scupper suggestions that she might not travel to the Athens Olympics in light of investigations by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the shadow of drugs in the countdown to the Games spread across the Atlantic into Irish athletics, with the distance runner Cathal Lombard testing positive for EPO.
Jones was in Munich training with the United States 4 x 100m relay team and intends to take part in a race against quartets from Germany and France this afternoon. She is then expected to travel to the United States' pre-Olympic training base in Crete.
For Lombard, however, the prospect of competing in Athens looked remote, when it was revealed that the 28-year-old had tested positive for erythropoietin - the drug the International Olympic Committee has targeted with the introduction of blood tests at the 2004 Games, which open on Friday.
Jack McGowran, press attaché to the Irish Olympic team, said: "The Irish Sports Council have come across an EPO positive for Cathal Lombard. He will be given 24 hours to come up with a response."
Lombard, who had been selected for both the 5,000m and 10,000m, has made staggering progress in the past 18 months, smashing the Irish record with a time of 27min 33.53sec earlier this summer - an improvement of three minutes on the personal best he had at the start of 2003. He failed to finish in the 5,000m in the Norwich Union London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace nine days ago, since which he is understood to have been training in Cyprus with his coach, Joe Doonan, the man who guided Catherina McKiernan to victory in the 1998 London Marathon.

LG Electronics Inc. claims it was the top air-conditioner manufacturer in the world for the fifth year in a row last year, selling 10.1 million units of its "Whisen" air-conditioners.
Citing a report from the Fuji Economic Research Institute, the electronics manufacturer said its share of the global air-conditioner market reached 19.6 percent and was worth U.S. $2.6 billion. Total world sales of the product reached 51 million sets last year.
LG Electronics has held the top ranking since 2000 when it sold 4.1 million units. Whisen was also the largest market share in 43 countries last year.
"We plan to earn revenue of 10 trillion won (approx. U.S. $9.64 billion) from the air-conditioner sector in 2010," said Roh Hwan-yong, vice president of the appliance maker. It expects its air-conditioner sales to reach $3.3 billion this year.
LG will expand its annual production capacity of 12.9 million in 7 countries to 15 million by developing new production bases and will also increase its research and development workforce by 15 percent every year to support that goal. (Yonhap)

Editorial: How to fix Yakima's racially polarized elections
Yakima city officials should not appeal a court ruling calling for district-based elections. And state lawmakers should follow suit by protecting small populations from voter discrimination.
Seattle Times Editorial
Last week's federal court ruling ordering Yakima to discard at-large citywide elections in favor of a more representative process prescribes a needed fix, but leaves much of the rest of the state underrepresented at the local government level.
The vast majority of Washington cities use at-large voting systems. That's democracy, but not the most representative democracy.
Subtly, and sometimes intentionally, at-large elections leave distinct geographic communities completely unrepresented. It's why Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The Yakima case featured a modern example of racially polarized voting: a woman with a Latino name lost a 2013 school board election by 20 points even though her white opponent had withdrawn from the race.
Voting-rights advocates also point to nine central Washington counties where Latinos make up at least a third of the voting population but hold none of the 213 major elected city and county positions.
Yakima's status as the state's poster child for such misrepresentation was solidified in 2012 when the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington chapter sued the city.
Though Latinos make up a third of Yakima's voting-age population, the city has never elected an at-large Latino council member.
Yakima should abandon any notion of a costly appeal.
Instead, the council, which meets Thursday, should follow the court directive to come up with a remedial districting plan by the Oct. 3 deadline.
Legislators should also rectify this un-American disparity, too common in the state, and pass the Washington Voting Rights Act, which empowers local jurisdictions to solve problems of voter exclusion at the local level.
The act won't mandate district elections, but would give municipalities the option to voluntarily protect against excluding the voting influence of minority communities.
Seattle voters took a bold step toward district elections last year.
The Legislature should provide a comparable remedy for the entire state.

ND Rank: #51-55
Dec 29, 2013, 12:43 PM EST
Craig Chval, the official 2013 football beat writer for the Strong & True blog, is currently a junior at the University of Notre Dame. Over the course of the year Craig will bring you insight from within the student section, interviews with Fighting Irish players and previews of each game. You can follow Craig (and the rest of the Notre Dame student beat writing staff) on twitter at @JrNDBloggers.
After Notre Dame's bowl win yesterday and Michigan's loss, the Irish's 9-4 season was good enough to surpass the Wolverines in all-time win percentage, thanks to a 2-6 finish by the former #1. But I'm not going to spend any more time talking about Michigan, so enjoy today's rankings of the players who helped create that winning percentage.
#55: Greg Marx – Defensive Tackle – 1970-1972
Unanimous All-American (1972)
1972: 96 tackles, 6 tackles for loss
A captain on the 1972 team, Greg Marx was a prolific tackler on the line for Ara Parseghian's defenses. He made at least 80 stops in each of his three years as a starter, solidifying a defense that held its opponents to single digits 18 times from '70-'72.
Excelling both on the football field and in the classroom, Marx was a two-time Academic All-American who also graduated from Notre Dame Law School after spending a year in the NFL.
Marx's 263 career tackles set a Notre Dame record among defensive linemen, and still ranks fourth all-time behind Ross Browner, Steve Niehaus, and Jeff Weston. After the 1972 season, his 96 tackles was just behind the single-season record teammate Mike Kadish set in the '71 season.
#54: Jack Snow – Split End – 1962-1964
Consensus All-American (1964), 5th in Heisman (1964)
1964: 60 receptions for 1,114 yards, 9 TDs
523. That is the most receiving yards a Notre Dame player had ever had before 1964 (Jim Kelly set the record in 1962). In 1964 Jack Snow, who had 10 receptions for 128 yards in his career up until then, shattered that number, giving birth to the Notre Dame passing attack with 1,114 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
That number would, for the most part, stand the test of time, as it is still the sixth best total in Notre Dame history. Snow's 1964 season and Tom Gatewood's 1970 season are the only in Irish history to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark before 2005.
The man throwing to Snow, John Huarte, ended up winning the Heisman in '64 with the split end finishing fifth.
The only thing keeping Snow out of the top 50 on this list is that he just had the one great season after moving to receiver following his junior year. If he had the opportunity to play more than one year under Ara Parseghian, I suspect he'd be a lot higher.
#53: Vagas Ferguson – Halfback – 1976-1979
Consensus All-American (1979), 5th in Heisman (1979), National Champion (1977)
1978: 211 carries for 1,192 yards, 7 TDs
1979: 301 carries for 1,437 yards, 17 TDs
Still Notre Dame single-season records, Vagas Ferguson's 1,437 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns in 1979 were good enough to secure him a top-five Heisman season in a year when Billy Sims couldn't even win.
Ferguson is all over the Notre Dame rushing record books, from rushes in a season (1st) to rushes in a career (4th) to yards in a game (2nd and 7th) to career yards (3rd) to career touchdowns (4th). Most of those numbers were "1st" at the time of his graduation.
He was the MVP of the 1978 Cotton Bowl, which saw the fifth-ranked Irish pummel No. 1 Texas 38-10 to jump in the polls to a national championship. Ferguson had 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the game.
I can go on and on with these accolades, but it all just boils down to the fact (OK, my opinion) that Vagas Ferguson is the greatest Notre Dame running back of the last 45 years.
Here's another great video from 125 Years of Notre Dame Football that has an interview with Ferguson. Link here if video doesn't work.
#52: Alan Page – Defensive End – 1964-1966
Consensus All-American (1966), National Champion (1966)
1966: 63 tackles
I know I said in my intro that I only considered college careers in this list, but Alan Page's life after Notre Dame is incredibly difficult to ignore. And being one of just five Notre Dame players to be in both Hall of Fames (college and pro) is just the tip of the iceberg. He was NFL MVP in 1971 and all-pro six times over his career.
While playing for the Vikings, Page was also pursuing a law degree from the University of Minnesota. During the offseason he worked at a law firm and in 1985 he became an assistant attorney general in Minnesota – only four years after his retirement from pro football. In 1992 he became the first African-American justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court.
But this list is about players and their college careers, and Page delivered on that front spectacularly, starting three years for Ara Parseghian. Along with Jim Lynch, he led arguably the best defense in Notre Dame history, surrendering just 3.8 points per game in 1966. Page has gone down in history as one of the most dominant players on one of the most dominant Irish teams ever.
I think some people will be upset that Page isn't higher, so let me give my reasoning. I said in my intro that this list is based on All-American status, awards, and national championships. I said I had to move some players whose status transcends those indicators.
Page didn't have eye-popping numbers, and he was only an All-American for one season. His on-paper numbers put him around #70 for the best Notre Dame players, but his dominance on the '66 team and his iconic status bring him up to #52.
#51: Don Miller – Halfback – 1922-1924
1st-team All-American (1923), National Champion (1924)
1923: 89 carries for 698 yards, 9 TDs; 9 receptions for 149 yards, TD
1924: 107 carries for 763 yards, 5 TDs; 16 receptions for 297 yards, 2 TDs
Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below.
It's arguably the most famous passage in Notre Dame lore, save for the Gipper speech. Grantland Rice gave the four players the iconic nickname in 1924, their championship senior season. Behind the "Seven Mules," the Four Horsemen led the Irish to their first-ever national title in 1924, which culminated in a Rose Bowl victory over Stanford.
Our first member of the Four Horseman, Don Miller was the starting right halfback in the legendary backfield from 1922-1924. Rockne called him the greatest open-field back he'd ever seen.
Miller was named a first-team All-American in 1923, the same year Red Grange broke onto the college football scene as a sophomore. Despite the wealth of talent at halfback in the early '20s, Miller stood out with an incredible 6.8 yards per carry over the course of his career. Unfortunately, he was the only one of the Four Horsemen not to be a consensus All-American, but his place in Notre Dame lore transcends awards.
Next time we get into the top 50, so stay tuned.

Love that picture of Greg Marx. With those glasses he looks more like a big lawyer than a football player.
- irishrugby990 - Dec 30, 2013 at 5:53 PM
Hard to believe Vagas Ferguson's single-season record is still in tact. Of course, I say that in part because I grew up watching Autry Denson re-write almost every other Notre Dame rushing record. Incredible to contrast that with Jack Snow's receiving records, which didn't FALL until recently. It just goes to show you how much the Irish have traditionally been running teams up until the 2000s, and further how much college football as a whole has moved away from smashmouth football.
Keep up the great work, Go Irish.

West Point Cadet Sues Singer Patti LaBelle Over Airport Beating
A West Point cadet from Houston has filed a lawsuit against soul singer Patti LaBelle, her bodyguards and Bush Intercontinental Airport, claiming her bodyguards beat him viciously for standing too close to her luggage.
The lawsuit filed by 23 year old West Point senior Richard King claims he was seriously injured by LaBelle's bodyguards after returning to Houston for spring break back in March.
King says he was so beaten up he woke up the next day in a hospital with staples in his head, unable to remember what had happened.
The lawsuit says King was waiting for his father to pick him up in a passenger pickup area outside the terminal, when LaBelle and her entourage walked past him to a stretch limo.
King says he was standing near LaBelle's luggage, with his back to her limo, talking on his phone, when she apparently decided he was too close and told her bodyguards to move him away. The lawsuit says the bodyguards attacked King and hit him in the face until he fell and hit his head on a concrete pillar.
King's attorney released airport security video that appears to support the charges, but LaBelle's bodyguards say the video doesn't show everything that happened. The HPD report quotes the guards as saying King was drunk and attacked them, and they were protecting LaBelle and themselves.
via West Point cadet sues Patti LaBelle, bodyguards over alleged assault at Bush IAH | khou.com Houston.
Cadet King says because of erroneous information from Houston Police, West Point has suspended him for at least a year. During that time he will go on active duty as an enlisted man and he could be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. If he makes it through his tour of duty he will be allowed to reapply to West Point.

Titan: Over a Torrent Sea (SPOILERS)

Re: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea (SPOILERS)
Baerbel Haddrell wrote:
The confrontation between Lavena and Riker was very interesting and gave good insights into both characters. It seems even in the present-day Star Trek universe there are human families that are more prudish than others. Being a German living in England I can see that there are some general differences in attitude and maybe it is realistic that such differences in human society didn`t disappear. Therefore I shared Riker`s criticism of Lavena`s irresponsible neglect of her children but not his view about her sexuality. She is an alien after all and that she likes having sexual experiences with several partners is perfectly fine in my book if nobody is harmed by it.
I'm glad to hear that, because you got what I was going for.
Compared to Lavena Riker was the extreme at the other end. I don`t share a lot of his attitude but I can respect and understand it. I am not a man but I think I can understand that it was more difficult for him than it would have been for a naked female captain stuck together with an officer who was for a short time a lover. It starts with it that it is a fact that men react stronger to looks than women do. The vast majority of porn is aimed at men and not at women. Also a naked man can`t hide being sexually attracted. In spite I rolled my eyes a bit at Riker`s prudish attitude I couldn`t help feeling very sorry for him. His frustration and embarrassment was very understandable. That Riker was not very well, that his wife could give birth at any moment and that Lavena didn`t help at all to defuse the difficult situation only made matters worse.
First off, I don't think it's true that men react more strongly to appearance than women do. There was a terrific
New York Times Magazine
recently about sexual attraction and response in women, indicating that it's a lot more complicated than that. If anything, women respond (at least physiologically) to a wider range of visual erotic cues than men do. But female sexual response, and the relationship of physical arousal to mental desire, is more complex and multifaceted than in the male, so it appears.
And I wouldn't say Riker's attitude is prudish. He's always had a healthy, open attitude toward sexuality. But he's a married man who believes in his monogamous commitment, and he's defensive about it because of the circumstances -- being separated from his wife at a critical moment, being alone and unclothed with a woman he finds very tempting. His overreaction to Aili's sexuality is not about prudishness per se, it's more about fear -- the fear of losing Deanna, the fear of letting her down. He already feels guilty about not being there for her as she's about to give birth and is potentially in danger. So that intensifies his sense of guilt at being attracted to Aili.
I agree that Dr. Ree was not responsible for his actions and that it is very unlikely that he will enter this extreme "guardian mode" again. What he did was frightening but on some other level also very touching. I also understand now that Dr. Ree must love children very much. My guess is that being rejected by the females of his own kind he decided to be a doctor so that he can help children and their families. I can also understand better now that what happened between Deanna and him was not only traumatic for her but also much more difficult for him than I realized. In spite of what happened I can see that Dr. Ree is a good person and he would be a good father if he ever gets that chance. I think both sides have learned important lessons and I would like it very much if Dr. Ree will continue to play a part in the upbringing of the little girl in future books.
Thank you for that. This was just what I meant to convey.

Kiwi pilot blamed for deadly PNG crash
Relevant offers
South Pacific
A New Zealand co-pilot and an Australian pilot of a plane that crashed in Papua New Guinea killing 28 people failed to take actions that could have saved the aircraft, an official accident report says.
It said that as the plane was going down the pilot called out "what have we done?"
New Zealander Campbell Wagstaff, 40, was the first officer on the Airlines PNG Bombardier which crashed near Madang on October 13, 2011.
The report by the PNG Accident Investigation Commission highlighted problems with the aircraft but said its crash was "at least partly attributable to the fact that the flight crew did not use the standard emergency procedures early on".
It said that if they had dealt with problems systematically and earlier the outcome might have been positive.
Wagstaff, from Te Kuiti, suffered minor injuries. Pilot Bill Spencer, 64, of Cairns, Australia, was more seriously hurt.
Neither man was named in the crash report.
A cabin attendant and a passenger in an aisle seat in row seven also survived.
The report said the plane's autopilot could not be used on the flight "so the aircraft had to be hand-flown by the pilots".
The pilot was conducting a low power, steep descent in an attempt to get below cloud in order to be able to see across the ocean to Madang on PNG's northern coast.
Neither pilot noticed the aircraft's speed increasing to its maximum operating speed. When this speed was reached, a warning sounded in the cockpit.
Wagstaff said that as this happened Spencer pulled the power levers backwards "quite quickly".
Moments later both propellers over-sped as the plane was 2075 metres above sea level.
The action caused severe damage to the left engine although the right engine was not badly damaged.
Its propeller was feathered but the two men could not get power from it ". . . which meant that a forced landing without power was inevitable".
The plane crashed near the Guabe River and caught fire.
The crash report found the propellers over-sped because Spencer pulled the power levels through a gate to idle the aircraft. This was prohibited in the flight manual.
There is now a mandatory worldwide lock-out mechanism on the aircraft to stop power levers being able to send propellers into reverse.
The report said that as the emergency began, Wagstaff identified the over-speeding and smoke appeared in the cockpit with various malfunction alarms occurring.
"The crew did not respond to any of these alerts by implementing the emergency procedures detailed," the report said.
The aircrew did not slow the airspeed, further reducing the time available to them to manage the emergency, consider their options, and conduct an approach to land.
The report said the landing gear and flaps were not used to slow the plane down. Had they have been the impact could have been less severe.
"The noise in the cockpit was deafening, rendering communication between the pilots extremely difficult," the report said.
"The emergency caught both pilots by surprise."
There was confusion and shock on the flight deck.
As the pilot repeated "what have we done" Wagstaff replied they had a double propeller over-speed and the right engine was shut down.
As cockpit nose dropped the pilot asked again.
"Both pilots then agreed that they had 'nothing'," the report said.
Although still flying and issuing a Mayday distress call, the aircrew did not run through emergency checklists and procedures.
They did not try to slow the plane down and it hit the ground at 211kmh and debris was spread along 300 metres.
The aircraft also caught fire.
The report says the aircrew were the furthest from the fuel tanks and the cockpit section has partly separated from the fuselage.
When they managed to get out they saw the surviving passenger who had said the fire was intense. He had escaped through a gap in the roof above his seat.
The report said the "other occupants had very little time to evacuate before the cabin was completely engulfed by fire".
Investigators interviewed the pilot and co-pilot over their failure to conduct a formal emergency response and they said there had not been enough time.
"However, the time from the initial propeller over-speed to the forced landing was 4 minutes 18 seconds," the report said.
"The flight crew's perception of time during the emergency may have been affected by stress.
"It is possible they were overwhelmed and this somehow prevented them from putting into effect the procedures and methods they had been trained to use in such circumstances."

Defense lawyers for an Army general facing sexual assault charges say they plan to press his primary accuser on inconsistencies in her story.
Associated Press
Defense lawyers for an Army general facing sexual assault charges say they plan to press his primary accuser on inconsistencies in her story.
Attorneys for Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair will get their chance Monday to cross-examine the female captain at the center of the closely-watched case.
The woman testified Friday that toward the end of their three year affair Sinclair twice ended arguments by unbuttoning his pants and forcing her head into his lap as she cried.
The defense says they'll show the woman is lying by presenting a trove of emails and text messages she exchanged with the general, many of them sexually explicit.
Sinclair is believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever tried for sexual assault. He faces life in prison if found guilty.

Danger From European Banks' Too-Big-To-Fail Syndrome Keeps Growing - Report
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Angelo Young | September 19, 2012 1:24 AM EST
Some of Europe's largest banks aren't keeping up with their end of a deal to reduce their too-big-to-fail problems.
Instead of getting smaller, they've gotten comfortable enough with their dependence on the European Central Bank (ECB) to provide them with capital that they've increased their assets by €34.4 trillion ($45 trillion) in the year ended July 31, according to the ECB, instead of abiding by a pledge to trim assets by $1.2 trillion in that period.
The cycle of dependence on a central bank that oversees 17 independent banking systems all sharing the same currency has become one of the biggest issues in resolving the euro zone's banking crisis. Key to stabilizing the euro and holding the monetary union together is getting banks to sell risky assets at depressed prices or even at losses and to lend more money; basically to go back to their roots as smaller and leaner institutions.
But according to analysts, with the ECB there to offer a cushion, some of the biggest banks in Spain, Italy and France -- Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN), UniCredit SpA (BIT:UCG) and BNP Paribas SA (EPA:BNP) -- have grown rather than shrunk after the ECB decided in December to offer €489 billion. In February, it loaned another €530 billion.
Instead of deleveraging, the banks are leveraging.
"The fact that we haven't got on with [deleveraging], or very slowly, suggests that when the time comes, we'll need another ECB injection to roll over the first one, just to keep the balance sheets of Italian banks in business," Simon Maughan, bank analyst for Olivetree Securities Ltd. in London, told Bloomberg News.
With the ECB there to possibly open up its wallet once again, banks have not been too keen to shed assets at a loss.
At the same time, governments in the most troubled euro zone economies, such as in Italy, are hesitant to endure the painful process of letting their own, smaller banks -- the ones that are too big to fail locally but not regionally -- go under.
According to the ECB, the euro zone's financial institutions held €32.2 trillion euros in July, three times the currency zone's gross domestic product in 2011, according to Bloomberg News.

After a less than stellar (and briefly delayed) Japanese debut, the blokes at Evolution Studios went back to the old drafting table (a drafting table full of game development hardware we imagine), to do "some additional fine tuning and [get] the online features squared away" for MotorStorm, their down-and-dirty racing title for the PlayStation 3. This extra functionality doesn't come cheap though ... current going rate is about one month's time tacked onto your game's release date. Originally scheduled to be released in February, MotorStorm won't be riding dirty in the States until March, though a specific date hasn't been given. Considering the harsh response to the Japanese release's lack of online multiplayer, this is time well spent!

SMF starts summer on a high note
Date: May 29, 2013
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Most Sarasota Orchestra musicians are off for the summer season, but Sarasota Orchestra is still buzzing with summer symphonies. In fact, the orchestra's website has a countdown to the second of the June 3 start of the 2013 Sarasota Music Festival.
This Sarasota Orchestra event has brought up-and-coming, college-aged musicians to the area to perform chamber music for three weeks since 1965. It includes nine concerts as well as lectures and student recitals.
Sixty students were selected from a group of nearly 500 who auditioned to participate in the intensive learning experience, in which they work alongside and perform with more than 40 professionals. It's such a rewarding experience that students make a musical exodus to Sarasota from as far as Taiwan, South Korea, China and Australia.
But just because they're students doesn't make them amateurs — these 60 musicians come from the best conservatories in the country: Oberlin College and Conservatory, Yale School of Music, Rice University, New England Conservatory, Curtis Institute of Music and The Juilliard School.
This means these students are on their way to being tomorrow's professionals, and Sarasota receives the chance to see them on their way. For instance, former SMF student David Coucheron is now the concertmaster of the Atlanta Symphony.
Coucheron will return Saturday, June 8, to Sarasota to perform the Bruch Violin Concerto. Two other festival alumnae are returning as faculty — flautist Christina Jennings and violinist Noah Bendix-Balgley.
And, in case you already miss the Sarasota Orchestra musicians, this year violinist Daniel Jordan and pianist Jonathan Spivey have joined the music festival staff.
+ Music Festival spotlights artist
Sarasota Music Festival has featured a local artist each year since 1987. The artwork is used on all the festival marketing material — for instance, you can see it on this year's program. Local artist Julia Gorbaty's painting, "Music," which has semblances of the bayfront and Ringling Bridge, is this year's featured piece. It's available for purchase by calling 487-2730.
