Bruno Walter, "whose reading may be accepted as authentic", conducts Mahler's 2nd
Fabulously improved sound quality for "this admirable issue" in this 32-bit XR remastering
REVIEW 1959 UK LP issue
In good time for next year's Mahler centenary comes a recording which is certain to make a strong appeal to all real Mahler enthusiasts, all the more since it is conducted by the composer's distinguished disciple, Bruno Walter, whose reading may be accepted as authentic and who clearly loves this music. The Second Symphony, provided by Mahler with a weighty "programme" about life and death, the Last Trump and the resurrection of the dead, and the assurance of a life hereafter ("Sterben werd* ich, um zu leben"), is nevertheless a work which takes a good deal of stomaching. Faced with concepts of such magnitude, Mahler becomes merely grandiloquent: the enormous apparatus he demands—a huge orchestra, with large reserves of extra brass and percussion, organ, chorus and soloists—ends jby becoming unwieldy; the suspicion increases, as the symphony's vast length unfolds, that it would have been the better for more matter and less art; and it cannot be denied that at the very point where nobility of thought is needed, Mahler (like Strauss in a similar context) falls dangerously near bathos. For all that, beneath all the pomp there lie some characteristically striking and beautiful ideas, and when Mahler, for contrast, reverts to the vein of childhood innocence and naivete—as in the Landler movement - (based on one of the Knaben Wunder horn songs)—he is at his most charming. Indeed, there may be more of heaven here, as seen through the eyes of a child, than in all the alarums and excursions later.
The Klemperer recording which has been the only one available until now was not particularly satisfactory, owing to the general sense of constriction, the restricted dynamic range and the string quality, which tended to sound starved just when it should have been most opulent. The present issue, except for a short patch in the finale where the engineers, not altogether surprisingly, seem to have feared for the safety of their equipment and have brought their fader down a notch or so, is remarkably well recorded, with particularly good balance and excellent quality. Adequately to contain Mahler's vision of the heavens opening, with trumpets disposed to right and left, near and far, stereo at least is called for (and, in fact, the stereo version exists in America); but even in mono this does not overload. It is Walter's interpretation, however, which is the real joy of this issue: not only is he more apocalyptic than Klemperer, but in the lyrical passages he brings far more grace to the music. The second subject of the opening movement, for example, has more Viennese charro, without, as in the previous recording, turning into mere goo at the recapitulation; the Landler flows more easily (what lovely singing tone from the 'cellos, incidentally!); and the Scherzo, which before seemed unduly protracted, is taken at a better speed and is more pointed rhythmically. Though one should not forget the wonderfully steady singing of Hilde Rössl-Majdan in the earlier set, the soloists and chorus here are very good, and complete the attraction of this admirable issue.
L.S., The Gramophone, June 1959
Notes on the recording:
As with other issues in this series of Bruno Walter's Mahler recordings, Pristine's 32-bit XR remastering system has succeeded in delving deep into the original recording to reveal new depths and new heights. Where previously the brass sounded perhaps a little veiled, now they can be heard in all their blazing glory. Meanwhile the choir opens out wonderfully, making previous issues sound perhaps a little strangled by comparison. Finally the full rumbling majesty of the lowest organ stops can be felt as well as heard to marvellous effect. The Gramophone's reviewer talks about an "apocalyptic" performance - now we can hear it in sound to match that artistic vision.

Bruno Walter
notes from Wikipedia
Bruno Walter (September 15, 1876 – February 17, 1962) was a German-born conductor. Born in Berlin, he is known to have lived in several countries between 1933 and 1939, before finally settling in the United States in 1939. Though he was born Bruno Schlesinger, he began using Walter as his surname in 1896, and officially changed his surname to Walter upon becoming a naturalised Austrian in 1911. Walter was for many years active as a composer, but his works have not entered the repertoire.
Born near Alexanderplatz in Berlin to a middle-class Jewish family as Bruno Schlesinger, he began his musical education at the Stern Conservatory at the age of eight, making his first public appearance as a pianist when he was nine. However, following visits to one of Hans von Bülow's concerts in 1889 and to Bayreuth in 1891, he changed his mind and decided upon a conducting career. He made his conducting début at the Cologne Opera with Albert Lortzing's Der Waffenschmied in 1894. Later that year he left for the Hamburg Opera to work as a chorus director. There he first met and worked with Gustav Mahler, whom he idolized and with whose music he later became strongly identified.[1]
In 1896, Schlesinger took a conducting position at the opera house in Breslau – a job found for him by Mahler. The conductor recorded that the director of this theater, Theodor Löwe, required that before taking up this position he change his name of Schlesinger, which literally means Silesian, "because of its frequent occurrence in the capital of Silesia",[2] although other sources attribute the change to a desire to make his name sound less Jewish.[3] (Note: It is often stated that Walter was his middle name and he merely dropped the surname Schlesinger. This is not true; he had no middle name and "Walter" had never been one of his names.)[citation needed] In 1897, he took an opera-conducting position at Pressburg, and in 1898 he took one at the Riga Opera, Latvia. Then Walter returned in 1900 to Berlin, where he assumed the post of Royal Prussian Conductor at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, succeeding Franz Schalk; his colleagues there included Richard Strauss and Karl Muck. While in Berlin he also conducted the premiere of Der arme Heinrich by Hans Pfitzner, who became a lifelong friend.
In 1901, Walter accepted Mahler's invitation to be his assistant at the Court Opera in Vienna. Walter led Verdi's Aida at his debut. In the following years Walter's conducting reputation soared as he was invited to conduct across Europe – in Prague, in London where in 1910 he conducted Tristan und Isolde and Ethel Smyth's The Wreckers at Covent Garden, and in Rome. A few months after Mahler's death in 1911, Walter led the first performance of Das Lied von der Erde in Munich, as well as Mahler's Symphony No. 9 in Vienna the next year.
Although Walter became an Austrian citizen in 1911, he left Vienna to become the Royal Bavarian Music Director in Munich in 1913. In January of the following year Walter conducted his first concert in Moscow. During the First World War he remained actively involved in conducting, giving premieres to Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violanta and Der Ring des Polykrates as well as Hans Pfitzner's Palestrina. In 1920 he conducted the premiere of Walter Braunfels' Die Vögel.
In Munich, Walter was good friends with Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli (later Pope Pius XII).[4]
Walter ended his Munich appointment in 1922 and left for New York in 1923, working with the New York Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall; he later conducted in Detroit, Minnesota and Boston.
Back in Europe Walter was re-engaged for several appointments, including Berlin in 1925 as musical director at the Städtische Opera, Charlottenburg, and in Leipzig in 1929. He made his debut at La Scala in 1926. In London, Walter was chief conductor of the German seasons at Covent Garden from 1924 to 1931.
In his speeches in the late 1920s, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler complained bitterly about the presence of Jewish conductors at the Berlin opera, and mentioned Walter a number of times, adding to Walter's name the phrase, "alias Schlesinger."[5] In 1933, when the Nazis took power, they undertook a systematic process of barring Jews from artistic life.
While rehearsing Mahler 9 with the Berlin Philharmonic, Nazis entered the theater to take Walter. The orchestra hurried the maestro out the back door. He left for Austria and did not see his family for 5 years. Later, when listening to a playback of the first movement, principal players of The Columbia Symphony were ushered out of the booth as Walter began to weep. After the door was closed, the musicians were told, "Gentlemen, you must excuse him. This was the place in the symphony when the Nazis entered the hall. He was smuggled out the back door and didn't see his family for 5 years."[told by James Decker, principal horn of the Columbia Symphony and witness to the event]
Austria became his main center of activity for the next several years, although he was also a frequent guest conductor of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra from 1934 to 1939, and made guest appearances such as in annual concerts with the [[]] from 1932 to 1936. At the time of the Anschluss in 1938, Walter was at a recording session in Paris; France offered Walter citizenship, which he accepted. (His elder daughter Lotte was in Vienna at the time, and was arrested by the Nazis; Walter was able to use his influence to free her. He also used his influence to find safe quarters for his brother and sister in Scandinavia during the war.)
Walter's daughter Marguerite was murdered on August 21 of 1939 in Berlin by her husband, who then killed himself; his motive was jealousy over her growing relationship with the Italian basso Ezio Pinza. Walter's wife fell into a permanent depression, and Walter blamed himself for the tragedy, as his daughter had met Pinza only because Walter had made special efforts to hire him to sing the role of Don Giovanni.
On November 1, 1939, he set sail for the United States, which became his permanent home. He settled in Beverly Hills, California, where his many expatriate neighbors included the German writer Thomas Mann.
While Walter had many influences within music, in his Of Music and Making (1957) he notes a profound influence from the philosopher Rudolf Steiner. He notes, "In old age I have had the good fortune to be initiated into the world of anthroposophy and during the past few years to make a profound study of the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Here we see alive and in operation that deliverance of which Friedrich Hölderlin speaks; its blessing has flowed over me, and so this book is the confession of belief in anthroposophy. There is no part of I my inward life that has not had new light shed upon it, or been stimulated, by the lofty teachings of Rudolf Steiner ... I am profoundly grateful for having been so boundlessly enriched ... It is glorious to become a learner again at my time of life. I have a sense of the rejuvenation of my whole being which gives strength and renewal to my musicianship, even to my music-making."
During his years in the United States, Walter worked with many famous American orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic (where he was musical adviser from 1947 to 1949, but declined an offer to be music director), and the Philadelphia Orchestra. From 1946 onwards, he made numerous trips back to Europe, becoming an important musical figure in the early years of the Edinburgh Festival and in Salzburg, Vienna and Munich. His late life was marked by stereo recordings with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble of professional musicians assembled by Columbia Records for recordings. He made his last live concert appearance on December 4, 1960 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and pianist Van Cliburn. His last recording was a series of Mozart overtures with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra at the end of March in 1961. Although raised a Jew, near the end of his life Walter converted to Catholicism.[6]
Bruno Walter died of a heart attack in his Beverly Hills home in 1962.
Walter's work was documented on hundreds of recordings made between 1900 (when he was 24) and 1961. Most listeners became familiar with him through the stereo recordings made in his last few years, when his health was declining. But many critics agree that these recordings do not fully convey what Walter's art must have sounded like in its prime. For one thing, the late recordings sometimes have a geniality that contrasts with the more mercurial, intense, and energetic performances Walter recorded in earlier decades. For another, the late recordings focus mostly on music from Mozart through Mahler, but in Walter's youth he often conducted what was then newer music (including Mahler).
Walter worked closely with Mahler as an assistant and protege. Mahler did not live to perform his Das Lied von der Erde or Symphony No. 9, but his widow, Alma Mahler, asked Walter to premiere both. Walter led the first performance of Das Lied in 1911 in Munich and of the Ninth in 1912 in Vienna with the Vienna Philharmonic. Decades later, Walter and the Vienna Philharmonic (with Mahler's brother-in-law Arnold Rose still the concertmaster) made the first recordings of Das Lied von der Erde in 1936 and of the Ninth Symphony in 1938. Both were recorded live in concert, the latter only two months before the Nazi Anschluss drove Walter (and Rose) into exile.
These recordings are of special interest for the performance practices of the orchestra and also for intensity of expression. Walter was to re-record both works successfully in later decades. His famous Decca Das Lied von der Erde with Kathleen Ferrier, Julius Patzak, and the Vienna Philharmonic was made in May, 1952, and he recorded it again in studio with the New York Philharmonic in 1960. He conducted the New York Philharmonic in the 1957 stereo recording of the second symphony. He recorded the Ninth in stereo in 1961. These recordings, as well as his other American recordings, were released initially by Columbia Records and later on CD by Sony.
Since Mahler himself never conducted the Ninth Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde, Walter's performances cannot be taken as documentations of Mahler's interpretations. But in the light of Walter's personal connection with the composer, and his having given the original performances, they have another kind of primary authenticity. In his other (greatly esteemed) recordings of Mahler – various songs and the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth symphonies – there is the great added interest that he had heard Mahler's own performances of most of them.
Walter made many highly acclaimed recordings of other great Germanic composers, such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauss Jr., and Anton Bruckner, as well as of Bach, Wagner, Schumann, Dvorak, Richard Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and others. Walter was a leading conductor of opera, particularly known for his Mozart, and recordings of some from the Metropolitan Opera and the Salzburg Festival are now available on CD. So are performances of Wagner, Verdi, and Beethoven's Fidelio. Also of great interest are recordings from the 1950s of his rehearsals of Mozart, Mahler, and Brahms, which give insight into his musical priorities and into the warm and non-tyrannical manner (as contrasted with some of his colleagues) with which he related to orchestras.

First Baptist Church of Philadelphia
The history of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia can be traced back to 1698 at which time the congregation met and worshipped at an old abandoned building which they shared with a group of Presbyterians. From these humble beginnings, the church grew in size and stature, and eventually moved in to the existing church building. This impressive structure was constructed in 1808, and what a magnificent sight it is. Dominated by a large central spire, the church is spacious and richly decorated with rich gilded paint and mould work. A vibrant and welcoming place of worship, the church supports a host of community groups, outreach programs and support groups, apart from its religious activities. All are welcomed with open arms to join the congregation in prayer and worship.

The act of recording information can be done in various ways, photos, videos, journals, audio, and so on. Throughout this five-week long exploration, the idea of record keeping was introduced to an object that is already known to be practical, functional and great at doing its job, a tape measure. What started with the disposal of a piece of masking tape, evolved into a physical object that is designed to be a living journal of measurements, memories, and process.
Through a series of sketches and initial prototypes this concept was born by simply taking an existing tape measure, and covering the surface with a piece of masking tape. This marriage of materials created an opportunity to add an element of permanence and storytelling in regards to distance as well as time. But what physical form could this idea take? The initial A D.I.Y activity that transformed the functionality of an existing measuring tool for a period of time, and which could be easily returned to its original state once the intended purpose of jotting down relevant measurements.
A series of advertisements aimed at putting this notion into context revealed that the intended user determined the objects final form. Was this a tape measure for someone doing a home renovation that would carry this around with them at all times, and record every inch of the project on this one tool? This iteration was a traditional tape measure on the top half, and with the other half left blank for note taking. Who would produce such an item? Most likely a company such as Stanley would partner with a company like Sharpie to create the ultimate measuring/recording device, a "writeable" tape measure.
The opposite end of the spectrum and the final artifact delivered for this project was a finely crafted tape measure, constructed out of high-end materials like wood and brass that was completely blank. With its intended use left up to the user, this is an instrument for recording not only measurements, but thoughts, ideas, memories and more. This artifact is intended to be a precious object that would live on through generations as would a photo album or video. The process of creating this artifact revealed that one idea can take many different forms, and within these forms the context, and content can be discovered.

Tuesday (Since 1963) is the final concept delivered at the end of an eleven-week design research process. It is a new way for singles born before 1963 to date. From bars and restaurants to art classes and exercise classes, older singles can decide what they want to do and where they want to go any given Tuesday. Any business can participate by signing up online and adding a logo to their front window. There's no need to RSVP. It's like Yelp meets Meetup for dating after 50.
A key feature of Tuesday is the gold pin that members are encouraged to wear to events to recognize each other. The stylish pin serves as anti-wedding ring and is a piece of jewelry that both men and women can comfortably wear. Another aspect of the pin is that once a member puts it on a bag or jacket, they may decide to keep it on as they go about their daily life -- sparking word of mouth marketing and extending Tuesday's ethos to other days and locations. Tuesday has clear value for the user as well as businesses. For users, it creates a new routine and for businesses, it helps bring in new clients on a slow night.
The brief for this product was to redesign dating among older singles. This is an especially important issue because divorce rates among couples over 50 have doubled in the past 20 years and one out of three baby boomers are unmarried. As poverty rates are five times higher among unmarried boomers than their married counterparts, unmarried boomers are especially vulnerable to the vagaries surround aging (Bowling Green State University, 2010).
The process began with research and interviews with ten people, including a dating coach, a professor of courtship and marriage, a recent divorcee, and a single boomer event organizer. After synthesizing the observations into key insights and design opportunities, a couple of the opportunities were combined to create Tuesday.
Tuesday is based on the insights that older singles have accepted online dating as a means to find someone, but they find it to be unnatural and that women go to singles events to seek men, but men don't seek singles events.
The concept was prototyped through a mock-up user journey and tested with potential users and businesses to gain their feedback. With overwhelmingly positive feedback, including one business owner who was so excited about the idea that he went ahead and put a Tuesday sticker on the door of his Italian restaurant, the concept for Tuesday is ready to be piloted.

"Beacon" is a sculptural object designed to promote interaction between the piece and its viewers. The overall form is simple and unassuming, while the details in construction and materials draw the viewer into the piece. Once the viewer begins the engage with the piece, a capacitive touch sensor engages a motor, which creates a whirlwind of metallic confetti inside the main body of the piece. Additionally, a light turns on as the motor starts running which makes the metallic pieces sparkle and draws the focus directly the center of the object.
Once the interaction has occurred, the confetti, due to static electricity leaves a residue of its presence by sticking to the walls of the acrylic chamber. This not only makes for a custom experience each time it is explored, but signifies to other users that there is more to the object itself than what initially meets the eye. The same is true for the inclusion of the power cord, which helps to signify that this is not a static object.
The interaction of this piece was designed using arduino and a microcontroller. All of the components of the piece are seamlessly integrated into the body. The fan and the microcontroller are housed in the base, while the light is fed through one of the brass pillars to reach the top of the tube. It was important for the integrity of the piece that all of the electronics be concealed, so as not to give away the surprise of the interaction itself.

In this project urban farming was examined through the lens of the insect-plant relationship, where insect biodiversity is framed as the primary outcome of the system. The goal is to establish that design-for-insects is a path to a healthier, more resilient, and more productive ecosystem.
Organic agriculture and Integrated Pest Management strategies address the relationship between plants and insects in great detail. In practice however—and particularly in smaller scale urban operations—these resources too often remain untapped until a problem arises. By cultivating diversity from initial planning stages, farmers can not only minimize damage from pests, but also better harness the beneficial functions of insects as pollinators and soil builders.
Trapp offers a convenient and focused resource for identifying insects and their role in an agricultural system. Users are able to search species through a number of avenues, as well as communicate with the online community about issues and solutions. It furthermore allows the user to log findings which might be visualized to show patterns over time. This information can then be aggregated to reveal larger regional and global fluctuation in insect populations.
As the flaws of industrial agricultural strategies become increasingly apparent, a fundamental rethinking of the human-nature relationship becomes necessary. At its heart, this project is based in the idea that other members of an ecosystem should be addressed not as resources or enemies, but as allies.

A language is a form of communication, whether it is through the use of spoken word, hand gestures or written text, it allows us to communicate with one another through a system that is both organized and relatable.
"Transparent Circumstance" is a visual language that focuses on the communication of emotions through the use of transparent color. The language relies on the connection of several components that work together to begin to articulate a story, based on time and user participation.
Twelve different emotions; six positive and six oppositely negative emotions are depicted through the use of transparent color and shape. Each set of conflicting emotions is grouped together by color, i.e. happy and sad are both executed using a transparent pink acrylic, while joy and grief share the same yellow color.
The form of each emotion is extracted from a line drawing used to tell a personal life journey. The organic forms overlap in asymmetrical ways to create new, denser and more meaningful relationships between these emotions. There are three bases on which these emotions can be attached to through the use of a peg. The first base represents "me," a personal expression from oneself to another, and the second represents "you," a role reversal, in which the two participants begin to assess one another. The final structure represents "us," a collaborative effort that facilitates communication and resolution.
Time is represented in this system as well. Each base can be secured to the wall by using one of three ropes. Each rope represents the past, the present and the future and is designated by one of three different colors. The combination of all of these materials allows the user to write a sentence, the more complex the combination of elements the more detailed the story gets. For example one could say "I love you now," or "We have shared sadness and grief in the past." The layering of the transparent colors allows for an overlap of emotions. One rarely feels simply joy or exclusively sadness. This system encourages both self-reflection and communication. By combining these transparent, jewel-toned emotions together one can find beauty and clarity in even the most difficult and negative of times.

In view of the current threat of withdrawal of GSP+ concession of the EU, which is seen as another pre-planned attempt to obstruct Sri Lanka`s progress, President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday gave a firm assurance to all local export industries that the government will safeguard their industries with measures necessary to support them, in the event of a carefully managed, strategic withdrawal of this scheme, being introduced by the relevant authorities at this sensitive time.
President Rajapaksa said so in his address at the ceremonial induction of the 29th President of the Organisation of Professional Associations (OPA) held at BMICH yesterday (December 21).
President also said: "while we are concentrating on the development effort, we must also be intensely mindful about preserving democracy in our country. Democracy is the corner stone on which our political structures are built. We cannot risk our democratic way of life. World history is filled with many instances where ambitious persons who have not been brought up in a democratic framework, assuming power and then suspending democratic institutions in various countries. I am certain that the professionals and right thinking persons of our country are well aware of such risks, and that they would act in the manner necessary to preserve and carefully sustain democracy for our future generations."
President also said in his second term as President, he will ensure that every youth who completes his secondary education will be assured of a livelihood. "We will develop a scheme that will entitle our youth to specialized education of one's choice when they turn 18. Such education will be supported by my new Government," he said.
Here are some highlights of future policy announced by the President.
- bonus interest of 20% on deposits of senior citizens
- bring poverty levels down to below 2%
- 100% electricity coverage by 2016
Here is the full text of the speech by President Rajapaksa :
Newly elected President of the Organisation of Professional Associations of Sri Lanka, Professor Indraratne,
Hon Ministers,
Members of Parliament,
Your Excellencies, and
My dear friends.
Let me begin by thanking the OPA for inviting me to the Induction Ceremony of the Twenty Ninth (29th) President of the OPA, Professor Indraratne. Professor Indraratne is a well known Professor of Economics in our country and is held in high esteem by both the Government and the private sector. He serves in the National Economic Council and has been a valuable asset to our country.
At the outset therefore, I wish to congratulate Professor Indraratne, the eminent Vice Presidents, and the other distinguished office bearers of this important institution and wish them success in the year ahead.
Professor Indraratne,
My Government and I look forward to working with you and your colleagues closely over the next few years, as I have already done in the past, and I am certain that our country would benefit by your members' professional advice and contribution.
As you all know, the past 4 years have been immensely challenging for our country. In particular, the last 2 years have been very difficult. But yet, when compared to many other countries, Sri Lanka was able to do better than most others.
When other economies collapsed, ours progressed. When businesses in many developed countries closed down, ours survived. When workers in their millions lost jobs in many other nations, our workforce retained their livelihood.
When other governments pumped billions of dollars to stabilize their financial systems, we stabilized ours without such efforts. When other countries delayed or defaulted on their re-payments, as a result of high world oil prices, we were able to negotiate long term credit lines from Iran and face the crisis. When currencies of many countries depreciated sharply, the Sri Lanka rupee held its value. When hundreds of banks failed across the globe, we protected the banks in Sri Lanka.
When food riots took place in many societies, we enjoyed food security in our country by strengthening our farmers, who are an important segment of our economy. It is however very sad that one or two economists who are advising the Opposition are referring to our farmers as "Amude jokers" and are ridiculing them. I hope these people who comment in this arrogant and insensitive manner will some day realize that it was these hard-working farmers who kept all of us fed during the global food crisis.
My dear friends, the successes I described did not happen by accident. These positive outcomes were achieved because of the wise and sound manner in which we managed our economy and our country. Towards that effort, many thousands actively helped us, and I would like to thank all who made these victories possible.
Mr. Chairman, as a member of the legal profession, I am also a member of the OPA. Therefore, I know the value of professionals. That is why, in almost every type of activity in my government, I selected people with professional knowledge and ability, to implement programs and plans, in order to achieve the objectives of our nation. We also respected professionals who put the country's interests before their own.
Mr. Chairman, it takes many types of knowledge, skills and talents to operate a results-oriented administration. Some persons in the team have to be far thinking experienced politicians. Others, effective administrators. Some have to be clever planners. Others have to be smart implementers. Some have to be out-going personalities. Others have to be behind- the-scene advisors. Some have to be tough fighters. Others have to be patient diplomats. If we make mistakes in selecting the team, or mix up the skills that are required, the entire administration could collapse.
My dear friends, I think I made sound judgments in selecting persons to serve in my administration. That is why we were successful. We had the right man for every job, depending on the circumstances. If, by some chance, I did not get it right and I stationed an articulate diplomat where a quick acting implementer was needed, or appointed a crafty and fierce military man where an astute and sedate politician was needed, the entire country, would have been plunged into crisis.
I must of course admit, that I have made one or two mistakes in my selection as well. Some persons whom I thought were patriotic, have subsequently betrayed our beloved motherland for personal and material gain, and I have been very sad about that situation. But, by and large, the vast majority of my administration staff members have displayed a great love for our country, and I am deeply touched by their patriotism.
Mr. Chairman, when I took office as President in November 2005, almost everyone, including a few foreign politicians, told me that we will not be able to defeat terrorism in our country. At that time, the country had been divided by an illegal agreement. Our forces were confined to barracks. No money was allocated to up-grade our defence establishment. The mood of the nation was that of dejection and despair. We were told that we have no capacity or money to fight; we have no resources to develop; we have no money to support our public service or development activities. The negative list was endless.
But, within a few months, we changed all that.
We built our capacity and intelligence to fight the terrorist enemy on land, sea and air. We developed our legal capabilities. We gathered support for our anti-terrorism effort from within the country, especially, the clergy, trade unions, and civil society. We had regular interactions with the media and won their commitment towards our cause.
We quietly and seriously engaged with world leaders and opinion makers. When we started our diplomatic efforts, many world leaders and opinion makers had already been systematically fed untrue stories about human rights abuses and suppression of media by hundreds of terrorist sympathizers, and their well paid promoters. In response, we had to embark on a massive campaign to convince our neighbours and others of our stance, and the successes we achieved in this regard were vital in our fight against terror.
We strengthened our medical capabilities and welfare facilities to look after our fallen heroes. We set up special funds and welfare centres to assist those who were disabled as a result of the conflict. We boosted the morale of our fighting forces as well as the confidence levels of all our citizens.
While undertaking all these activities, we had to strongly resist and overcome the sinister efforts of various parties, both national and international, who tried to destabilize our country, politically, socially and economically.
In this regard, you may recall the attempts of the Opposition parties to block our sovereign bond issue, our IMF Stand-by loan facility, both of which, we were able to defeat. The latest is the threat of withdrawal of the GSP plus concession of the EU, which we see as yet another of those pre-planned efforts. In this regard, I wish to firmly assure all local export industries that my Government will safeguard their industries with the measures necessary to support them, in the event of a carefully managed, strategic withdrawal of this scheme, being introduced by the relevant authorities at this sensitive time.
Mr. Chairman, the massive development activities that we implemented in all parts of the country over the past 4 years, also needs to be mentioned. We are building 3 major power plants in Norochcholai, Kerawalapitiya and Upper Kothmale. Kerawalapitiya is already supplying power to the national grid. We are undertaking massive port constructions in Hambantota, South Colombo, Galle, KKS and Oluvil. We are building a new international airport in Mattala. Flyovers, Highways and Roads are being constructed everywhere. New water supply schemes, tank restoration works and fisheries harbours are being built in all parts of the country.
While we are doing all this, we have continued to support the schemes for the upliftment of the poor as well.
We did not reduce, and in fact, we actually increased, the allocations for the Samurdhi programme.
We continued to ensure food security in our country through the fertilizer support stimulus package. We provided fertilizer at Rs 350 per bag, even when the fertilizer prices in the world market reached a staggering Rs 9,500 per bag.
My dear friends, it took Sri Lanka 55 years, 1948 to 2003, to reach a per capita income level of around US dollars 1,000. But during the next 5 years, 2004 to 2008, we were able to increase it beyond US dollars 2,000. That is surely an amazing achievement.
The fact that this doubling of per capita incomes was achieved, while we were liberating the country from an inhuman terrorist group, makes it even more extraordinary.
My dear friends, the next 6 years will be a period where our nation will build for the next century. We will implement a new wave of development strategies to develop the country on all fronts.
We have effectively set the stage for such a take-off with low inflation, low interest rates, high reserves and a sound financial system. But sometimes, even favourable macro-economic fundamentals result in un-foreseen difficulties being faced by some stakeholders, in the short term.
A case in point is that when rates of interest decrease, it is welcomed by entrepreneurs and businessmen, but not by the savers, especially the senior citizens. Consequently, many senior citizens have appealed to us to intervene in this regard. As a leader who is sensitive to the issues confronting our people, we do see some merit in this request.
Therefore, we have decided to respond by developing a scheme whereby the Government will pay a bonus interest of 20% of the interest paid by Banks on deposits of senior citizens, to be effective from January 2010. This would mean that a senior citizen who receives interest on a deposit with a Bank, will receive an additional one-fifth of such interest from the Government as a special support, so long as Treasury bill interest rates are lower than a certain specified level.
By introducing this scheme, we would ensure that our senior citizens, who have diligently saved for their retirement, will be able to enjoy a higher income, when interest rates decline sharply. In this regard, I will request the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance to work out the logistics, so that we can implement this scheme in the New Year.
Mr. Chairman, over the next 6 years, we will also take measures to bring poverty levels down to below 2%. We showed our commitment to this effort by reducing poverty levels by one third during the past 4 years, and we are confident we can meet this new vital goal as well.
In addition, we will ensure one hundred percent (100%) electricity coverage in our country by the year 2016. We will ensure that there will never be any power shortage. Over the past 4 years, we increased the electricity coverage from 75% to 87% of our country, and we shall continue with that momentum over the next few years as well.
Our youth are our future. In my second term as President, we will ensure that every youth who completes his secondary education will be assured of a livelihood. We will develop a scheme that will entitle our youth to specialized education of one's choice when they turn 18. Such education will be supported by my new Government. By these initiatives, we will ensure that every youth would be trained for a livelihood program or profession, without exception.
We will also make the best use of the opportunities that have opened out due to the liberation of the North and the East. These parts of the country too, could deliver tremendous value to our economy over the next few years. The re-settlement process of those of our brothers and sisters who were displaced because of terrorism, is now going on at a fast pace. Our commitment to resettle 80 to 90 per cent of those displaced by the end of this year is on track, and that will be completed by the end of January 2010.
During my next term, I will also lay special emphasis on improving our country's governance structures, so that the administration as well as other sectors would be even more efficient. Over the past 4 years, we made significant improvements in our administrative mechanism, and that is why we were able to implement the biggest ever development programmes in the history of our country. Even so, our next wave of development would require the establishment of better processes and procedures, and I would make it a priority to establish new and tight standards and norms to do so.
I will also increase our focus in dealing comprehensively with organized crime and drug abuse, so that we could provide a well disciplined and safe society for all our citizens.
Through these and other initiatives, my target is to double the per capita income of our country to reach at least 4,000 US Dollars by the time I finish my next term of office as President. When we do that, we will make our country a truly middle income country. Then, we will be able to walk with our heads held high as a prosperous people.
My dear friends, while we are concentrating on the development effort, we must also be intensely mindful about preserving democracy in our country. Democracy is the corner stone on which our political structures are built. We cannot risk our democratic way of life. World history is filled with many instances where ambitious persons who have not been brought up in a democratic framework, assuming power and then suspending democratic institutions in various countries. I am certain that the professionals and right thinking persons of our country are well aware of such risks, and that they would act in the manner necessary to preserve and carefully sustain democracy for our future generations.
Mr. Chairman, every citizen of this country knows that I have delivered on my promises. My new mission is to lead our country to prosperity soon. I am confident we can do so, because we have the vision, courage, and experience to improve our society and economy. Towards that goal, our workforce and people are responding, and I am thankful for their encouragement and confidence.
My dear friends, I also look forward to draw on the strength, support and advice of the professionals of our country. You are the brains of our nation. There is plenty of work for all of us to do. I am sure, if all of us take it upon ourselves to help our country, we would soon be the prosperous nation we are hoping for.
I wish you all, a prosperous future.

I'm in, I hope
Ok, guys. It looks like one more will be squeaked in, and I will hold the drawing for the fourth parer tomorrow, around NOON. Same rules apply, and if you are in I this thread, already, that counts as your entry, but it must be your first post in the thread to be a winner. Last chance to sign up is now (well, tomorrow before noon, EST).
Also, the winners of the drawing need to sort this out as civilly as possible. There are two buckeye burl, one "somewhat curly" koa, and one cocobolo available. If you his can't sort it out in a fair and hopefully entertaining way by the time of the drawing (number four gets the last one available), I'll pull names and handle materials (then you can trade amongst yourselves, or whatever.
Thanks guys!
The winner of the draw is... #30
Send me a pm if you still want in, and we can sort out the details, Adam.
Thanks again, guys.
FranRedina, Brainsausage, Iceman91 and cookinstuff - here are the first three parers, with the last one being similar to the buckeye up top. It goes, from top to bottom: buckeye burl, cocobolo, (somewhat) curly koa.
Now figure out who gets what, or else! These are going to be shipped soon (so I need all of you to PM me with info, etc).
Thanks, guys.
cool beans! Thanks Tom! I would certainly still like it.
Alright, I haven't heard anything from one guy in a while, so I'm trying to decide the best way to go about this, but I might just have to pick another person.
Also, I'm wondering if there is any interest in another run of these badboys. PLEASE, let me know if you guys would like us to make another batch.
Best thing to do is pick post #51 and send the one on the bottom.
And if a batch is four knives I think another couple batches is mandatory.

Disregard part of my last PM Tom... I'd like the buckeye if at all possible.

"I'm a happy person," Simon Townshend says.
This may not come as a surprise, considering the 52-year-old has been recording and touring with big brother Pete Townshend's band, the Who, since the mid-1990s.
But the youngest of the three Townshend brothers — Pete is 67, Paul is 54 — admits there was a time when he was "living in the shadow of a famous rock star." He doesn't worry about being Pete's little brother anymore.
One need look no farther than "Looking Out, Looking In," the title song and emotional fulcrum of Simon's newest solo album. "It's a very introspective song," he said from Pittsburgh, the sixth stop on a four-month North American tour in which the Who has returned to performing its 1973 classic "Quadrophenia."
"I've had the ups and downs of being Pete's brother. It's helped me and hindered me along the way," he said. "But one thing I've discovered more recently is, more than ever before, I am happy. I am a happy person. I love the fact that I can write music and am still hungry to record."
The singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer was 8 when he declared that he, too, wanted to be a rock musician, according to Pete's new autobiography, "Who I Am." A year later, Simon contributed vocals to "Tommy," the Who's landmark 1969 rock opera about a messianic "deaf, dumb and blind boy."
Simon launched his own career in the early '80s. Comparisons to his brother were inevitable, especially since they share a physical resemblance and reedy, plaintive vocal timbre, and his solo career floundered. It wasn't until Simon joined the Who as a guitarist and backup vocalist on their 1996-97 "Quadrophenia" tour that he began to find his own voice, and audience, as a solo artist.
He worked on various Who-related projects, including tours by the band and its singer, Roger Daltrey, plus a couple of Pete's solo albums. Simon also released four studio albums of his own, a live set and toured solo and with his own bands. The youngest Townshend credits time, age and changes in the music industry with allowing him to reach the satisfied state he's in now. The '80s, he said, was "a time where music and success were gauged on how many sales you had and how much money you earned."
He doesn't feel those pressures anymore. "I'm a happy soul. I'm honored to work with the Who. It's a pleasure to be on stage with them," he said. "It's also a pleasure that I can play clubs and do my own little shows."
On the Who's current "Quadrophenia and More" tour, Simon has worked in various solo shows and signs copies of "Looking Out, Looking In" at a merchandise stand 45 minutes before the Who hit the stage.
He calls "Looking Out, Looking In" a "very inspired record," its 11 songs flowing out pure and easy. "I've managed to put my heart and soul in the record and keep it real," he said. "I'm sure that's what people really want, to listen to something and actually feel like they're getting to know that person."
Townshend said the key for him these days is to write when the inspiration hits him, drawing on real-life experiences over fiction. "Those sort of moments, if you can capture them, the feeling of that moment, that's when the magic happens," he said, adding "the best songs write themselves."
"She Asked Me" was written in response to a request from a fan to write a song about her. "Forever and a Day" had been kicking around for a few years when a key change "made all the difference."
Having a website, simontownshend.com, and blog allows him "the power you have and freedom" to post what he wants when he wants, including new songs and video.
He'll follow the "Quadrophenia" tour with shows of his own, opening for Heart in Canada next spring, followed by solo shows in the U.K. and a string of European festivals with his band.
For now, he's focused on "Quadrophenia and More," a four-month North American tour that began Nov. 1, runs through Feb. 26 and includes the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit in New York, a Feb. 6 show in Phoenix and Feb. 12 stop in Denver (no Texas dates have been announced).
It's a return to the Who's sprawling 18-song examination of teen angst and the original band's four distinct personalities, set against the backdrop of clashing middle-class Mods and blue-collar Rockers in early '60s England.
Simon first joined the touring version of the Who for the "Quadrophenia" tours of 1996-97, after the 1978 death of flamboyant drummer Keith Moon, before the 2002 death of enigmatic, fleet-fingered bassist John Entwistle. Those tours featured guest singers and a filmed narrator.
"It wasn't so much the Who as it was a production," he said. "This is definitely the Who."
A 10-member version of the Who, with three keyboardists, two horn players and longtime touring members Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son) on drums, Pino Palladino on bass and Simon Townshend on guitar and vocals.
For the first time, the band has inserted video of Moon singing "Bell Boy" and an Entwistle bass solo on "5:15," which was Daltrey's idea to keep "it in the Who camp, rather than stretching out and getting other people to do the parts," Simon said.
Crowds have been going wild. "The audience response has been phenomenal. I can't say enough how well received it's been," he said. "It's quite moving. I think Pete has noticed that, how well it's been accepted by the crowd."
Simon has noticed how much closer Pete and Roger have become since Entwistle's unexpected death on the eve of a tour 10 years ago.
"I think Pete and Roger are closer now than they have been for the four decades (of the band)," he said. " ... I think that there's mutual respect and there's also an element of let's get out there and do it while we still can. They're both very fit, surprisingly fit."

Design Board: Inspired by Calypso St. Barth
Last week I drove up to Los Angeles to grab lunch at the Brentwood Country Mart. Not only is this a great place to shop but they have wonderful take out food joints and you are almost guaranteed to have a celebrity sighting while there. Well one of my favorite shops at the Brentwood Country Mart is Calypso Home. My main reason in driving up was to see their new rug collection in person before I started suggesting it to clients. Well I was not disappointed and decided to make an inspiration board this week around their Pushkar Jaipuri rug and other accessories.
1 – Caravan Crib – Kalon Studios
2 – Musical Animals Series – Iota Illustration
3 – Pushkar Jaipuri Rug – Calypso St. Barth
4 – Caravan Dresser – Kalon Studios
5 – Natural Tree Stump Side Table – West Elm
6 – Ghost Smiley Pillow – Calyso St. Barth
7 – Ettienne Glider in Linen – Petit Nest
8 – Shag Pouf – Calypso St. Barth
9 – Peony Paint in High Gloss – Benjamin Moore
Now for a little more detail in the design of the room: I'd paint the walls in a high gloss white, almost lacquer finish in Decorator's White by Benjamin Moore. If there were already wood floors in the room, I'd sand and paint them in a distressed whitewash and buff them down so they look scuffed up (not that this won't happen in time anyways). There is no need for decorative bedding or sheets with a bold crib like this one. Keep it simple and save your money to buy the furniture which will last longer anyways. The natural wood grain on the crib, changer and side table bring a natural soft element to the white room. The bright rug adds color and pattern, otherwise the only other color comes from the crib and artwork. Lastly the Peony paint by Benjamin Moore is for the inside of the closet. It would be too bold if placed anywhere else in the room, but in the closet it adds and element of fun surprise. (If you are having a boy, substitute the pink for canary yellow or Caribbean turquoise and obviously another rug.) I'd summarize this nursery as being youthful, energetic, and airy with a touch of laid back natural sophistication.
Megan Wimbley
Great design ideas Andrika! I could just imagine how beautiful this room would be once it's put together!
I love this room concept and the fun, punch-colored rug. Makes me want to get a new Calpyso dress and hit the Caribbean.

I love that rug you have there, so I sneaked a look into the Calypso St. Barth site and they really have some great selections on rugs over there. I love the bold and unique patterns they have.

Kansas One Room
The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Karl John Katzer (firstname.lastname@example.com) for contributing this information.
I found this site and wonder if you're interested that my mother taught at what we knew as "Judy School" located about 3 miles south of Greeley. That would have been the late 50's. Her name was Irene Agatha (Heiman) Katzer (1920-1996), wife to Walter Henry Katzer (1915-1986). She taught there several years and I remember one to three kids in each grade, thru the 8th grade. She was very proud to be a teacher her entire life. The building was on a gravel road south of 59 a mile or so, and I don't know that it exsists any longer. If you seek more information, I have family that might be more useful.

The time of infrared imaging in classrooms has arrivedJanuary 9th, 2014 by Charles Xie
With this price tag, FLIR ONE finally brings the power of infrared imaging to science classrooms. Our unparalleled Infrared Tube is dedicated to IR imaging experiments for science and engineering education. This website publishes the experiments I have designed to showcase cool IR visualizations of natural phenomena. Each experiment comes with an illustration of the setup (so you can do it yourself) and a short IR video recorded from the experiment. Teachers and students may watch these YouTube videos to get an idea about how the unseen world of thermodynamics and heat transfer looks like through an IR camera -- before deciding to buy such a camera.
For example, this post shows one of my IR videos that probably can give you some idea why the northern people are spraying salt on the road like crazy in this bone-chilling weather. The video demonstrates a phenomenon called freezing point depression, a process in which adding a solute to a solvent decreases the freezing point of the solvent. Spraying salt to the road melts the ice and prevents water from freezing. Check out this video for an infrared view of this mechanism!

Nate Silver slams PPP again, but will continue to use its polls in his polling averages
As Twitchy reported Wednesday, the Public Policy Polling Company, a firm that conducts polls for Democrats, has come under fire from FiveThirtyEight editor Nate Silver and others for withholding the results of some of its polls.
Yesterday PPP came in for a second round of thrashing after Nate Cohn of The New Republic raised serious questions about PPP's fly-by-the-pants approach to polling:

Another Route 44 crash spurs meeting with local, DOT officials
|Another accident causing damage to this fence on Route 44 in Lakeville last week prompted First Selectman Curtis G. Rand to call a meeting with representatives from the state Department of Transportation. Cars coming down the westbound curve have veered into the fence and its owners are fearful pedestrians could be injured. Ruth Epstein Republican-American
SALISBURY — Another accident on a westbound curve along Route 44 in Lakeville on Aug. 9 prompted a meeting between local officials and representatives of the state Department of Transportation Thursday.
According to police accounts, Seamus O'Brien, 18, of Salisbury was driving near Bostwick Street when he lost control of his vehicle and hit a wooden fence in front of a home owned by Brian and Nina Goodall. This is the third time the fence has been hit this year and the fifth time since the couple bought the property in 2010.

My nails were brittle and thin as a result from gel Manicure. After using this product for a month plus now following the directions, I notice that my nails are much stronger, grows nicely and faster. Downside is that my nail bed now is looking very dry with lines. Price is steep at rm110,applies very smoothly. Would consider repurchasing
HG nail product! This saved my nails. I went from dry brittle nails, impossible to grow them and i was always fiddling with them, picking and biting them, but then i heard about this product and it has transformed my hands! I now have strong long healthy nails. I stopped fiddling and biting them and hardly have to maintain them apart from reapplying a fresh coat every now and then. I cannot stress the difference this has made. It can be used as a bottom and top coat or on its own as a clear varnish. I also out it on my toe nails. It has vitamins and minerals in it that gives the nail what it needs to be healthy. When i first got it i used it all the time, as directed on the box and constantly wore it on my nails as a treatment but now my nails are so healthy naturally that i only use it for maintenance. I was so impressed with this nail polish that i bought the whole opi nail care range (cuticle exfoliator, oil, hand cream, files and buffere) and a few colours of polish and I'm very happy with everything, as unlike alot of nail products, opi actually works and is worth the money. Opi products are also 3-free so they dont have the 3 nasty toxic chemicals most nails products do have. If you have less than perfect nails, or are growing them after acrylics or shellac, i highly recommend this holy grail nail polish treatment. Or even just use it as a base coat to keep your nails in top shape!

It was an alright product... I find if you are constantly using it every week, your nails will just keep breaking off and getting dryer. But for a normal base coat.. It works a lot better because the polish makes the nail a little stronger against breakage !

Amazing stuff! I was having my nails done all the time for a while and they became dry and brittle and broke easily.. . it was horrible, I could not even wear nail polish.
I started using this again, even though I have been buying it for years on and off since I was in my late teens - I have tried all the different ones from original to matte. I don't see much difference between them so from now on I stick to the just the original formula.
It doesn't instantly fix the problem but after a week or two my nails were stronger and could actually grow a bit without breaking right off. I use this as "maintenance" now every time I change my nail colour or on bare nails. Even when my nails are in good shape I keep using it because it allows them to grow longer without the brittleness and breaking that normally happens as I wash my hands 100x a day (work in healthcare so it's a must!) It is pricey but I have never found anything that works as well as this so I will keep re-purchasing.

It doesn't make for much of a top coat, but this stuff does what it says it will. I can definitely see that my nails grow longer, and are in better health (less chips, thick, smooth surface) with just applying every four days or so. I generally use it as a base coat for when I'm painting my nails.
The formula spreads well. It hasn't got a lot of luster, but it dries SUPER fast. If you're doing a plain coat of clear it'll do the job, but anything else I'd use Seche Vite as the top coat.
This stuff is amaaaaaazing! I have super brittle nails that tend to peel and this helped with that so much! My nails feels significantly stronger when I use this and I find that my nails didn't peel as much too. I also find that my nails didn't turn as yellow when I used this aswell. This is definitely a must have for me!
This is my Holy Grail nail strengthening product, which I also use as a base coat. I have also used the Matte formulation, which I like less than the original. The original formula is a fast-drying product that is very effective for my nails, which are prone to softness and peeling. The condition of my nails has increased dramatically and I do not need to buff my nails any more for a smooth finish.
Pros: Lovely subtle shine, can double as topcoat, do not need much for strengthening, prevents peeling, nails remain flexible, when used as a base coat polish chips less, not stain prone.
Cons: Retail price is too high (can be found for ~$6 online, vs. $17 retail), instructions can lead to overuse (calls for 5 coats over the course of a week).
I have been using this treatment for years now and would hate to be without it. With continued use I have seen long nails that retain their flexibility and remain bright and strong. Unfortunately, as with many products, continued use is the only way to assure that these effects will last. I find that going without it for more than a week leaves my nails peel prone and soft.

Not a great deal to say about this except for it does what it claims to, dries quickly and is a great base - I use this every time I give myself a manicure before applying nail polish. I find that my nails still snap at the corners occasionally (with a square shape) but this is much less frequent since starting to use Nail Envy. As for the price, it is a little steep but one bottle lasts for months. Excellent product!

Great product. It made a difference very quickly and nails grew very fast. Only downside was it seemed to make them break once before then going on to make them stronger than before and with next to no breaking. Doesn't seem to have a lasting effect, though, you have to keep using it to maintain results. Definitely worth a try!
My nails have never been fast-growing or especially strong, but after having a gel manicure go slightly wrong, they seemed very thin too. I did research online and bought Nail Envy to help speed up the recovery process. I used the product religiously for a month and it did seem to make my nails grow faster. However, I noticed my nails were peeling terribly, which has never happened before. I kept using Nail Envy, thinking the peeling was related to the damage from the gel manicure. Still more peeling. I finally gave up on Nail Envy after 2-3 months of use. Now, two month later, my nails are finally back to their original, semi-healthy state. I'm not 100% sure that it was the Nail Envy that caused the peeling, but the stories here confirm my suspicions.

Posted: 9:45 p.m.
A man was critically wounded after being stabbed Sunday after a large fight broke out along the river in the area of County 4 1/2 E and Levee Rd. in Yuma, according to Alfonso Zavala with the Yuma County Sheriff's Office.
A group of men stabbed five men who are in their 20s. The man who suffered life-threatening injuries was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center, while the other four were treated on-scene for minor injuries.
According to YCSO, the victims said they did not know the men who stabbed them.
Deputies arrived to the scene after 911 calls at 7:23 p.m. Sunday.
When authorities arrived, all the suspects were gone. It is unknown what caused the fight.
"All weapons were located, and we continue to search for more evidence," Zavala said.
Witnesses who saw the fight told authorities they also heard shots fired.
"As far as right now, we have the reports of the shots fired, we saw nothing on scene that would lead us to believe that there were actually shots," Zavala said.
YUMA--Locals enjoy a day by the river Monday afternoon.
He added that YCSO has no reason to believe this incident was gang-related.
Deputies are searching for the suspects who are on the run, but YCSO only has a vague description--that of two Hispanic men in their 20s.
No one has been arrested in connection with this case.
Anyone with information is asked to call YCSO at (928) 783-4427 or 78-CRIME to remain anonymous.
