|Yolanda Sewell, RN is the July 2011 DAISY Award Recipient
Congratulations to Yolanda Sewell, RN who is the July 2011 Daisy Award Recipient. Yolanda has worked in our Emergency Center for almost five years. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse that has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
A parent recently wrote:
I am an employee of All Children's Hospital and the mother of a child with a very complex medical history. So, All Children's is both work AND a second home to me. Yesterday, my son (who has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis as a secondary condition) was in more pain than he has likely ever been in his short and painful life. Following hours of non-stop screaming, we finally brought him to the Emergency Center, knowing he would receive proper pain control and likely be admitted (my youngest son had been admitted only two days before, talk about a week!). Yolanda was our nurse, and she was fabulous. She put me and my son at ease. When it came time to start his IV, she made sure to completely numb the area and was able to find his vein in one try (I normally request an IV team member because he's not an easy stick). She continued to monitor him diligently, answering his questions and making sure I knew what was going on behind the scenes. Once the decision was made to admit him, she continued to check on us and keep us updated about our room status. She made sure to say good bye before her shift was over (even though he was peacefully sleeping for the first -time in 24 hours).
I've spent many hours in the All Children's Emergency Center and many nights in the new and old hospital. Yolanda was by far the best nurse that my son has had. She was capable, calm, friendly and personable. She is a great example of what a nurse should be at All Children's.
"Her co-workers describe her as a true patient advocate," said Susan Byrd, Emergency Center Director. "She is quick to sit with any child who does not have a parent at the bedside. She works hard to assure children are comfortable and not afraid. Her teaching skills are top notch! She helps new team members and students feel comfortable with new skills. She is often requested by families she has previously cared for! The Emergency Center staff never goes hungry when Yolanda is working! She is the first to help coordinate orders for lunch and pot luck meals."
Thank you Yolanda, for your service excellence to All Children's Hospital and your continued passion to pursue perfection.

these fabulous hand-woven frasadas are a simply a wonder.
exquisite, vintage (between 15-50 years old) and one-of-a kind, each one is more beautiful than then next! hand-crafted by traditional bolivian artisans of sheep's wool. useful, gorgeous and versatile - use as a blanket, throw or rug. thick, cozy and exceptionally warm, each set of fantastic stripes is totally unique.
each of our frasadas are handpicked. most of our current supply is adorned with stitching around the edges - in a few cases, the color of the stitching even changes.
frasadas are made by joining two longer pieces (each one is the width of a loom) together along one central stitch. some fans have removed this seam to create 2 smaller rugs or re-joining them to form a long runner.
they're in short supply, so snuggle up in one before they're gone forever!
note: these pieces are vintage. variations in color, stitching, edging, over all size and other imperfections are intentional and an integral part of their character. sizes vary but are approximately 56" x 60"
sorry! this item is out of stock.
if you'd like, we'll let you know you when it's back (approximate date below).

TIMBERLINE LODGE, Ore. -- A climber on Mount Hood lost in a whiteout Tuesday afternoon was found by searchers around 11:45 p.m., warmed up by rescuers and brought off the mountain early Thursday morning.
Jeffrey Kish, 30, of Portland, was brought off the mountain about 2 a.m. He told KGW that other than his hands being cold, he was fine.
Kish called on a cell phone around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to say he was descending from the summit of Mount Hood and had become lost in whiteout conditions.
He told KGW after his rescue that visibility was down to several feet and he had slipped several times before realizing he needed help.
Kish posted to his Facebook account from the mountainside. He posted his GPS coordinates around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, telling his friends Ok Guys. I have no idea where I am, other than right on the edge of some gnarly cliff. Too far east or west?
He also posted You're gonna hear about it in the news anyway, may as well spill it myself. Got stuck in a storm on the summit of mt. Hood. Stuck on cliffs over 10,000' in a white out. Called 911 after several hours of trying to self rescue. Search and rescue has been notified. Wish me luck!
Kish said on his Facebook page he was trying to keep warm inside a down sleeping bag while waiting for searchers to locate him. He said he was prepared for the elements and had enough clothing, food and water for a few days.
The search was concentrated below the Hogsback near the 10,000 foot level. Kish was in cell contact with his rescuers but his cell phone died around 9:30 p.m.
When Clackamas County searchers got to the GPS location Kish had given, they could not find him. Searchers split into two crews and continued to look, and located him just before midnight at a second set of coordinates deputies received from his phone.
Those guys saved my life, he said.
Kish is an experienced climber and hiker, having hiked the Pacific Crest Trail this summer, according to his Facebook page.
In anticipation of the climb, Kish had posted the following on Tuesday. Anyone in the Portland area with crampons, an ice axe, a car, and Tuesday night and Wednesday off of work wanna go on an adventure?

text: With only my second throw ever with a Katana (145g), flipped it into a roller after about 100 feet. It kept it's line along the right side on the slope up to the road. Weaseled down through the trees and over the culvert pipe. Missed hitting the poll by a foot or so and laid down fifteen feet behind the basket still in bounds. Sadly with all the excitement in watching that throw, I didn't even bother to putt.

An acquaintance (who doesn't get out much) ordered a cappuccino, kinda, when she requested a cup o' chino.
I like it! :)
Oh, lots of ghits for "cup of chino," though most of them are second-hand sightings. (hearings?)
Actually come to think of it, wouldn't this qualify as a legit eggcorn?
Even though Lisa placed this in the "Slips, innovations and reshapings" section, Craig is probably correct that it's an eggcorn. Granted, the "chino" part is ambiguous; The utterer views it as something concrete, yet unknown about the product. Even so, the "cup o'" portion of the utterance seems to be enough for this to be an eggcorn.
could the "chino" be a color reference? Bcs chinos are brown? And a cappuccino, having frothed milk on it, becomes less black and more brown?
Nah, probably not. I think I'm just making it up—and stretching, at that.
It's probaby that "ambiguous" idea—people think that must be the word they know, and that there's some sort of connection to "chino" but they don't know quite what it is.
The color idea has merit. The word cappuccino comes from the capuchin (sp?) monks because the dollop of frothed milk in the center mimicked their shaved pates with the ring of dark hair around it (if my recollections are correct). Hence the original word is based somewhat on color, so why couldn't the "spin-off" word be based on the (typical) color of chinos?
Feeling quite combobulated.
or are they thinking "china"? That somehow there's a foreign-language reason it's chinO instead of chinA?
I don't think the utterers are thinking anything specific about "chino"- it's just the exotic part of what their cup is filled with. They don't have to know what it is that's special, just that it's special. Which it is, if you've got a good cup of it!
"Would you like a cup 'o chino?"
"A cup? Oh gee, no."
tablogoid, I groan in your general direction!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help determine the cause of unexplained excessive or repeated episodes of bleeding, to diagnose von Willebrand disease (VWD), and to distinguish between different types of VWD
When to Get Tested?
When you have a personal or family history of heavy, prolonged, and/or spontaneous bleeding; when your health care provider suspects that you may have a bleeding disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Von Willebrand factor (vWF or VWF) is a protein that is one of several components of the coagulation system that work together, and in sequence, to stop bleeding within the body. VWF testing measures the amount of the protein present in blood and determines how well the protein functions.
Normally, when a blood vessel is damaged and bleeding begins, VWF forms an adhesive bridge between activated cell fragments called platelets and the injury site. This is followed by the clumping (aggregation) of platelets at the site and a series of actions referred to as activation of the coagulation cascade, resulting in the formation of a stable blood clot.
VWF further affects clotting by influencing the availability of coagulation factor VIII. VWF carries factor VIII in the blood, increases its half-life, and releases it as necessary. If the amount of functional VWF is insufficient, then platelet adherence and aggregation are affected, levels of factor VIII could be decreased, blood clot formation takes longer, and therefore bleeding is prolonged. This deficiency causes a condition referred to as von Willebrand disease (VWD).
VWD is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It is a group of conditions associated with prolonged bleeding due to deficient and/or defective VWF. VWD is separated into different types and sub-types, including:
- Type 1 – with this type of VWD, there is a decrease in the amount of VWF produced, but the VWF functions normally. Levels of factor VIII are also typically low but may be normal. This is the most common type of VWD, accounting for about 75% of cases. It tends to cause bruising and mild to moderate bleeding, such as persistent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods, and prolonged bleeding following childbirth, trauma, dental procedures, and surgeries. Symptoms and the severity of bleeding will vary from person to person and from episode to episode.
- Type 2 – this type is associated with a normal amount of VWF, but the VWF does not function normally. Bleeding may be more severe with this with this type. Type 2 is further divided into Types 2A, 2B, 2M, and 2N.
- Type 3 – this rare type is associated with very little VWF production, very low factor VIII levels, and moderate to severe symptoms. It is often detected in infancy because of early bleeding episodes.
Rarely, VWD may be due to an acquired VWF deficiency, where there is no family or personal bleeding history up to the point when signs and symptoms develop. (For more on this, see Common Questions #7.)
Von Willebrand factor testing includes VWF antigen, which measures the amount of VWF, and VWF activity (also known as Ristocetin Cofactor), which evaluates the function of VWF. Some laboratories may offer a panel that includes both of these tests along with a factor VIII activity test.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.
The Test
Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Art abounds around town
OXFORD TOWN – Last week, the University Museum unveiled its latest art exhibit "One World, Two Artists; John Alexander and Walter Anderson" headlining a frenzied art explosion all around the L-O-U community. Other exhibits include the showing of Bozarts Art Gallery's exhibit "12 Invite 12," the Powerhouse's ongoing exhibit "Costal Art Show" and a new exhibit at Southside Gallery (photos on Page 12). The 2010 painting on the Oxford Town cover this week is titled "Octopus" by Alexander and the photo seen here titled "Stormy Monday" is also by Alexander. Check out these and other great music and cultural event listings in Oxford Town's Community Calendar on Page 4 of this week's issue. (August 25, 2011, Page 4)

(NewsUSA) - Americans may read thrillers and watch adventure movies, but their days aren't exactly fueled by pure adrenaline. They work, drive the kids to soccer practice, eat dinner, watch HBO -- but those with a handheld GPS can satisfy their thirst for adventure through modern day treasure hunts, or geocaching.
Geocaching is a global treasure-hunting game. Someone hides an item, uses a GPS to determine its coordinates, and then posts the information online. Geocache-seekers then use their own GPS units to track down the geocache, usually a box or a small item and a logbook.
The game sounds deceptively simple. While geocachers know the items' coordinates, reaching them might require a workout -- some locations require hiking and climbing, for example. Also, GPS units only take geocachers within 10 to 15 feet of the geocache, which is hidden to avoid accidental discovery by "Muggles" -- those uninitiated in the ways of geocaching.
Geocaching.com, the largest Web site for geocachers to announce new geocaches and log their successes, lists over 1,000,000 geocaches in over 200 countries.
The game has become so popular that GPS manufacturers are starting to design handheld GPS units specifically for geocaching.
When geocachers find a geocache, they write their name in the logbook or exchange one of the items in the cache for one of equal value. Then they put the cache back in its original location, so other treasure-seekers can enjoy the thrill of the chase and, perhaps, discover a place previously unknown to them.

Beans and Franks Bake Recipe
- 2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) corn bread/muffin mix
- 1 can (28 ounces) baked beans
- 4 hot dogs, sliced
- 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Prepare corn bread batter according to package directions; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the beans, hot dogs, bacon, ketchup, brown sugar and onion. Transfer to two greased 8-in. square baking dishes. Sprinkle with cheese; top with corn bread batter.
- Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months. Bake the second casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- To use frozen casserole: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 2 casseroles (4 servings each).
Reviews for Beans and Franks Bake
Sort By :
"Loved this recipe! I made it exactly as written and served it with some fresh pineapple on the side."
"Made a few changes. Beef sausage instead of hotdogs (had a coupon), grilled the onions in the bacon fat, used Bush's Baked Beans (another coupon deal), added some garlic salt and pepper to spice up, and used GF cornbread mix."
"This was a fun recipe. Thanks. I twisted it up a bit. I used Bush's canned beans and added a can of black beans and a small can of rotel original. We are empty nesters and usually eat a lot healthier. But my husband had this craving for beans and franks and voila! Thanks again."
"Wasn't sure how this would go over at my party. It was delicious and a big hit. What great comfort food. I left out the mozzarella cheese cause I didn't see the point. It was still excellent. Thanks for this."
"We thought this casserole was OK, but prefer the Sloppy Joe Under a Bun (also a Taste of Home recipe) in terms of casseroles that have bread on the top. I think maybe with the beans and cornbread both it is just a little too sweet for our taste."

Yeah, nice if you live in a city big enough to have taxi's at ready call, not so good for the rest of us. Taxi's are certainly not the best option either as they are expensive and require people to be familiar with the Chinese town know as Tipping. Buses and trains also work, but again, due to U.S. political and geographical realities they aren't everywhere either and aren't really cheaper than a car unless you are traveling more than 200 miles. I want a true autopilot for my car. My phone knows where it is
Taxis do exist, one could wish they were cleaner than my own car, not dirtier than my own car.
Depends where you live - in my locality taxi is cheaper than private car, unless you drive really a lot, especially thanks to parking fees.
That's almost much the other end of the territory. And would cost the equivalent of USD 40. Parking 8 hours is half that much already.

Not that I need one as I live in a country where I can get pretty much anywhere I want by public transport cheaply, and in a city where I can get pretty much anywhere I want for free.

Probably the best car we've ever owned is a Ford Ranger Pickup. We have two of them. Big enough to be useful - about the size of a 1970s F150. Small enough to be sensible and easy to park. A modern car, so mostly maintenance free (compared to those 70s cars), but still essentially an old school Ford truck in terms of technology, so it's reliable and doesn't tend to break. It's been discontinued. The dealer claims because "Americans don't by small trucks." Like anyone needs an F350....

- Run on a clean, cheap, limitless (or nearly so) fuel source.
- Be able to carry as much cargo as I need to when I need it, but be compact and maneuverable when I don't.
- Self-repair itself. If I didn't have to go to another mechanic for the rest of my life I would be perfectly happy.
- Actually be safe, with zero chance of injury to passengers.
In my opinion these are way more important than the bunk listed in the options Can you imagine all the idiots on the road today, except that every single one of them can potentially smash your house flat from the sky?
I wish my car could: drive itself, park itself somewhere cheap, come over if I call it via my smart watch, be practically indestructible so it can drive through walls, go under water be bulletproof and drive itself in a driving truck with a hot female mechanic inside. Old geezer asking stupid questions optional.
I want all that, I just don't want to look like Daivd Hasselhof and have the car talk back to me.
... make the cell phone explode in the face of the annoying soccer mom next lane over.
Generate a repelling field to propel that dangerously overly timid derp who is waiting for that car 1/2 a mile away to go by before making his left turn into the intersection.
Generate an EMP in a nice tight beam (so as not to cause collateral damage) in order to silence those rolling boom boxes that no one else cares to hear. Or failing that, just give me the ability to cast Bigby's Punching Fist against the driver (if the driver is a hawt 20 or 30 something gal though, make it Bibgy's Spanking Hand instea
Yeah, I know, this is getting silly. But to quote Ergo (the Magnificent), "If you are going to wish, wish big."
I want my automobile, and the cars of everyone else who lives in an urban environment, to move away and never return so that we can reclaim the horrendous amount of wasted space and inconvenient placement of services. Cars for city folk should live in parking structures in the urban/rural interface where they can be rented and taken for work or recreation. The money we save by drastically reducing the number of vehicles we own and reduced infrastructure costs directly through roads and indirectly by placing things so far apart from each other can be used to build mass transit systems which don't suffer a large host of problems which plague them in automobile-centric communities.
I do not have a car, you
I wish my car would:
- - Whinny
It's a Reverse Cowboy Neal. All the options are stupid, except the last, which is sadly realistic.
None of the capabilities matter in the slightest if your vehicle requires too much maintenance or results in unpleasant driving experience.
(Yes, personal issue - I currently own one of those highly ranked Japanese cars whose owners tend to be extremely loyal and rave about its quality in variety of online media. Bought it after extensive research based on best available information. Never had a worse piece of junk in my previous experience. Perception is reality? But I digress)

I want my car to:
1. Stop using fossil fuels.
2. Drop me off where I want to go and go park itself.
Is it really that much to ask?
Yep, run on electricity is pretty huge since you'd save about 90% as much as what you pay in gasoline. Get some solar panels and save even more. Electric car revolution is going to be huge once they get down to the price of an economical car. The reason it hasn't exploded yet is that the cheapest electric car compared with the cheapest gasoline car means you can spend 10 years worth of gasoline before you come close to the savings.
The other problem with electric cars is the range. 60 to 100 miles is fine for a commuter vehicle (for most commuters), but is no good for longer distances. So far, battery technology has not been able to create an all electric car with the range and recharge convenience of a gasoline, diesel, or natural gas vehicle. Find a way to solve this problem and get the cost down, then the electric car will be practical.
Get from point "A" to point "B" using fewer dinosaurs/more MPG, say 100 MPG with cleaner/more complete combustion. And fly, of course.
I would love to have a car that could navigate under water... I have involuntarily proved that mine could not.
I would settle for "navigate on top of the water."
Where is this option, it is actually realistic in our lifetimes. I would love to have a car with auto-pilot.
Stink less.
Be solar powered.
...go invisible.
Could get tricky when stuff's coming the other way though. So perhaps just generally ghost-like, so you can drive it through things with no harm to either party.
.. Exist!

Desktop Computer Overview
It's a good idea to consider how you will be using your desktop computer. A variation of tasks may warrant specific devices and functions of your desktop computer. Some people use their computers for basic needs such as emailing and composing documents, while others address many needs on their computer such as downloading videos, modifying pictures, etc. More intensive tasks will require more memory and higher processor speeds.
Basic information about desktop computer components.
Computer Monitor
The monitor is your computer screen. A huge factor in choosing a monitor is the associated native resolution of the images appearing on screen. Like a television, most consumers want to view the best possible picture. The images on screen will improve in reference to a higher number of resolution. In addition, think about a desired size. Monitors are measured diagonally (like TVs), so choose a size that is aligned with your desires.
A desktop's case refers to the structure which holds internal working and hard drives. Cases come in different shapes and sizes, so it is important to think about where you would like the case to rest. Some people prefer to place the case on top of a desk next to their monitor, while others place their case on the floor. The decision is up to you, but it is important for the case to receive proper ventilation and rest safely away from any hazards (such as liquids).
In addition, think about choosing a case that will allow for upgrades since computer technology is constantly advancing. Opting for a lower-grade model may limit your upgrade options.
Better running speeds and smooth usage is contingent on a desktop computer's memory. It is very easy to upgrade a desktop's memory after an initial purchase, yet it is easier (and more economical) to purchase a desktop computer with enough memory to address immediate needs, while keeping future needs and interests in mind.
Think about all the functions/components you want your desktop computer to address/use before choosing a motherboard. You will want your desktop's motherboard to have at least two USB ports, which enables connection to printers and external hard drives. Higher-end models and multimedia-focused models should have audio/visual inputs and FireWire ports within easy reach.
Hard Drives
Hard drives refer to information stored in your desktop computer. If you're going to store a lot of files, pictures, and music on your computer, then you will want to purchase a computer with a large hard drive. While memory helps the speed and fluidity of applications, hard drives store all necessary, used information. Hard drives with 200GB (giga-byte) - 500GB space is optimal for most desktop computer users.
Processors facilitate a desktop computer's interaction with leveraged applications (such as WordPerfect, video games, DVDs, etc.). Dual-processors allow for faster multitasking and speedier performance in reference to particular kinds of graphics and video games. For most, basic functions, just about any processor will be sufficient.
Desktop Computer Buying Tips
- Many people choose to shop online for desktop computer because online suppliers may offer better prices. They do not have to compensate for related brick and mortar costs such as salespeople, rent, and utilities. Many online suppliers, such as Sam's Club, offer the same quality, brand-name computers (such as Dell desktop computers, Acer desktop computers, and HP desktop computers) you will find in brick and mortar stores.
- Utilize the internet to research specific models and brands prior to making a purchase. Review processor types, memory, warranties and more.

I'm filing a relatively simple tax return - only complicated issue is that I moved from NYC to MD about halfway through the year.
Everything is fine until I get to the NY state tax portion. After entering all info in it is reporting the wages as the full amount on my federal return. I should be about 50% since I only worked in NY for the first half of 2012. The strange thing is that when I entered the MD info for turbotax - It gave me the option to designate how much of my income was earned only in Maryland and shows the taxable amount to only be the wages I earned in Maryland as opposed to my total wages.
Does anyone know why for the NY state portion it is filling in the total wages instead of those just earned in NY. the Funny thing is that on previous screens it shows just the NY amount but on the final screen showing the return it shows total federal wages as the amount taxable in NY.

Happy Friday. Here comes another great Guatemala.
June 13, 2014
Guatemala Huehuetenango La Libertad shows balanced sweetness and acidity, and plum fruits to boot. It's a bodied cup - inky and thick - and makes a wonderful SO espresso too.
June 13, 2014
Guatemala Huehuetenango La Libertad shows balanced sweetness and acidity, and plum fruits to boot. It's a bodied cup - inky and thick - and makes a wonderful SO espresso too.
If you are interested or know someone that is, let us know. Here's the details...
Kenya Kirinyaga Kiangoi AA is a complex cup of sweet fruits, bright acidity, and an ultra clean finish. The profile is delicate, yet well structured, with easily discernible flavor notes and a refreshing finish.
Ever notice those little holes in the bags we ship our coffee in? Believe it or not, we actually take the time to punch them into every bag. This allows the coffee to breathe during shipping and in your green coffee storage area.
Air circulation is important. In humid environments, condensation can form in an airtight bag or container since the moisture both in the coffee and around it has nowhere to go but if you live in an environment with stable temperature, you shouldn't have to worry. Some folks like to store green coffee in cloth bags which we think is an excellent method for large amounts and longer storage times but the plastic bags you receive your coffee in work very well too.
The best way to keep your coffee fresh is to simply roast, brew and drink it within a month or so after it gets to your doorstep. Leave it to us to worry about bulk storage. We are lucky to have a warehouse that is very stable in temperature. It does get a little cold during the winter but never too hot during the summer.
Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Rosma is as juicy as ever, loaded with honey and dark sugars, as well as fruits like blackberry and grape. This makes for a syrupy bodied cup, and at Full City roast, shots of espresso are out of this world! Look out for tomorrow's additions too, which include one more Guatemala as well as two more Kenyas.

The Starkville-Mississippi State University Symphony Orchestra announces a March 5 concert featuring music from the European Romantic period.
Free to all, "Romantic Rendezvous" includes some major pieces written and performed between approximately 1800 and the beginning of the 20th century.
The 7:30 p.m. program in Lee Hall's Bettersworth Auditorium opens with an overture of Beethoven's "Lenore Overture, No. 3," the most popular of three the German composer wrote for his only opera, "Fidelio."
MSU music department strings instructor Simona Barbu will be featured as the cello soloist on Russian Peter Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme," which gained widespread modern fame through performances and recordings of Leonard Rose and Yo Yo Ma.
Also on the bill will be the work of another German, Robert A. Schumann's Symphony No.3 in Eb, Op.97 ("Rhenish")

BELMONT – Any college basketball coach will tell you he wants his team playing its best basketball and his best player playing his best basketball in February.
Belmont Abbey College's Stephen Miss is getting both these days.
Saturday's 110-92 victory over King gave the Crusaders their eighth win in their last 10 games. And senior guard Tyshawn Good's 43 points gives him the two highest single-game scoring efforts in school history in a five-day period.
"It's good to be in the race this time of year," Miss said. "We've played well the last 10 games, but that'll be ancient history come Tuesday when we go to Queens."
The Crusaders (16-6, 9-5) finds itself all alone in fourth place of the 11-team league with three weeks left in the regular season. Barton (10-4) has sole possession of first, but King and Limestone (10-5) close behind in a tie for second, with Coker (9-6) in fifth, Mount Olive and Queens (8-6) in a tie for sixth and Erskine (8-7) in eighth.
After Tuesday's 7:30 p.m. against Queens at Charlotte's Grady Cole Center, the Abbey hosts North Greenville next Saturday on Stanley Community Night. The women's, men's doubleheader starts at 5:30 p.m.
Sparking the recent Crusaders' surge has been Good, a senior from Jamaica, N.Y. who led NCAA Division II in scoring at 25.6 points per game entering Saturday.
Good scored a school-record 44 points in last Monday's 103-94 win at Pfeiffer, then scored 43 in Saturday's victory.
Ironically, Good had those 43 points with 7:21 to play and missed the front end of one-and-one free throws and had a 10-foot bankshot go long in the next minute before finishing the game with 14-21 shooting accuracy overall, including four of eight on 3-pointers.
"He's had a tremendous week," Miss said. "He's now first and second all time – and in the same week. What an accomplishment."
But as Miss was quick to point out, Good had plenty of help in the victory.
Former Gaston Day School standout Terrone Sheffey had 20 points, including 17 in the second half. And Jay Council had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Darryl Durham had 13 points. Good also had eight rebounds and team-highs five assists and four steals.
"We played well tonight," Miss said. "We got a lot of contributions from a lot of players."
After trailing by as many as five points in the first half and by 53-51 at the half, the Abbey started the second half on a 38-15 surge to take a 21-point lead with 8:46 to play at 89-68.
King (15-6) wouldn't get closer than 16 the rest of the way.
Aaron Wheeler's 19 points led the Tornado.
King women 51, Belmont Abbey 48 – The Lady Crusaders played hard, but were unable to claim their 10th league victory.
King (11-9, 7-9) snapped a 44-all tie with 7:14 to play with seven straight points before holding off an Abbey (10-10, 9-7) comeback bid.
"We'll be OK," said Lady Crusaders coach Susan Yow, whose team lost its second straight after a stretch of four wins in its previous five games. "We played really hard, but we didn't always play smart. And defensive rebounding hurt us and they made four more 3-pointers than we did and won by 3."
Morgan Midkiff, back in action after being diagnosed with a concussion following last week's 70-65 win over Coker, led the Abbey with 16 points. She also had a hurried 3-point try in traffic as the buzzer sounded that was too strong.
McKenzie Owen added nine points and Kelsey Long and Candace Fox six apiece for the Lady Crusaders. Bonnie Durrett and Kelly Jackson led King with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
