5.0 out of 5 stars Music That Touch You
True jazz lovers argue that Krall only has reached such a high popularity, as she indeed has, thanks to a shrewd marketing. That argument could be used just as effectively on singers like Norah Jones. As for Krall, she has a soft and sexy voice that appeals to many mainstream listeners who aren't concerned so much about jazz and how she plays the piano.

I do think that Diana Krall is a talented musician. She has good taste in her musical selections. However, she is NOT a very good singer. Her voice is weak. Her diction is poor, and her phrasing is often sloppy and unimaginative.

True jazz lovers argue that Krall only has reached such a high popularity, as she indeed has, thanks to a shrewd marketing. That argument could be used just as effectively on singers like Norah Jones. As for Krall, she has a soft and sexy voice that appeals to many mainstream listeners who aren't concerned so much about jazz and how she plays the piano.
The marketing people behind Diana Krall's music is of course tempted to polish and popularize the music as much as possible. As is seen at once when looking on the cover of _The Look Of Love_, this is what they have done. The album begins with S'Wonderful played with bossa nova rhytms and a laid back vocal. The whole album is actually very much inspired by bossa nova, which provides a romantic atmosphere - again suiting Krall's looks and voice and the many listeners.
On Krall's first albums, _Stepping Out_, _Only Trust Your Heart_, and _All For You_, the romantic atmosphere is somewhat missing. The marketing wasn't so much aware of her commercial oppertunities that they regulated her own sound. The albums as a result sound more raw, resulting in more piano from Krall and more jazz-like compositions and atmosphere. What i miss, though, when hearing her earlier work, is exactly what _The Look Of Love_ has to offer: the richness of the sound, the polished sound quality, the not so jazz-like songs etc. The intro on I Get Along Without You Very Well for instance, is beautiful and heartbreaking. So is all other songs on the album. I understand people's objections to Krall's music, but at the same time I feel that the music is gripping, moving, meaningful and whatever words there is to express good music.

I think it may be a bit of a shame this album is in the "jazz" catagory, for although Diana Krall may be a "jazz artist", on this miraculous CD she simply a singer of standards.... she has style, but (thank God), she sings these songs without destroying or molesting the lyric or melody that so many artists are prone to do today. THE SONGS are the stars on this album, not the "stylings" of a "diva"... how refreshing that is! These songs are not for those with limited attention spans who must have a driving beat and an occasional yelp or cry from the vocalist... these songs are for those who know how to listen and hear truly great orchestrations from veterans like Claus Ogerman (who orchestrated the most mellow of all Frank Sinatra's albums "Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim" in the 1960s).. and this album is a tribute to that very sound. This album is lush, romantic, beautifully crafted and sensuous.. it is for a night of romance and for decompression from the traffic and noise of everyday life. I hope Ms. Krall will give us more albums like this masterpiece. TOP musicians, superbly crafted arrangements and a clear and clean vocalist who respects lyric, melody and emotion make this clearly a 5 star masterwork in every respect.

After the first listen to this album, I was a goner. It was on a romantic weekend with my wife, and the luxury hotel we stayed at had put the disc in the room, a wise choice for both their business and the guest's contentment. The fluid, sensual flow of Diana's croon sweeps you up, gently massages away thoughts of the hard world of concrete and clocks, melts your anxieties and woes, and lulls you on its gentle, swaying stream of steamy, lush vocal waters into a soft and sultry place in your heart. One classic song after another is made fresh, each one so delicious that at the end you're thinking, "More, I want more." The only possible complaint about this disc is that is finally does come to an end. After the last smooth, lazy note has stopped vibrating in your mind, your next thought is "I hope she has more albums." Luckily, there are some -- and I made sure I got them too. This album is a charmer, a favorite, a "can't-possibly-go-wrong" musical purchase, an enduring pleasure, and a classic in its own right.
5.0 out of 5 stars Diana continues with a successful formula,
Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
Following the success of her two previous albums, Love scenes and When I look in your eyes, Diana recorded another album in similar style. It doesn't quite make the same impact, but that may be due to raised expectations because this is still a high quality album.
Diana has once again selected songs from the Great American Songbook to fill the album, though this time she also has included a sixties song, The look of love, which was a hit for Dusty Springfield, and a fifties song, Cry me a river, which was a hit for Julie London.
S'wonderful was originally a top five American hit in 1928 for the long-forgotten Frank Crumit. Love letters was a hit for its writer, Dick Haymes, in 1946, but only really became popular when Ketty Lester covered it in the sixties and had a huge international hit with it. Elvis Presley and Alison Moyet have also had huge hits with their covers. I remember you is another 1940's song that waited for the sixties to gain popularity, this time via a Frank Ifield cover.
Diana sings these songs as well as anybody, and also plays piano on all tracks. However, all tracks feature either the London symphony orchestra or the Los Angeles session orchestra, so Diana does not get the chance to show just what she can do with a piano.
This is a wonderful album that confirms Diana as the leading jazz lady in the world today.
4.0 out of 5 stars Solid & Slickly Done,
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
Krall is close to defining the mood of late night cool. She's become extremely popular over the last few years... largely in part due to THIS album. It is slick and well produced; perhaps a bit over-produced. This album is not about a singer and her piano, and 3 bandmates backing her up. This album is about rich textures and many helping hands. If you ask me, there are too many orchestra and string arrangements in the background taking away from Krall's wonderful piano playing... as well as the rest of the band (McBride on bass, Erskine on drums, and Malone on guitar). My favorite releases from Krall are still "Love Scenes" and "All For You". Her "Live In Paris" release is excellent too. This disc is very good and it can easily grow on most 30-somethings or 40-somethings looking for something other than rock or country to please their ears. It's immediately likable. It's silky smooth, fresh & ready-to-go, party perfect jazz. LOOK OF LOVE gets a high score due to it having a few of my favorite tunes redone beautifully by Krall & Co... "S'Wonderful", "Cry Me A River", "The Look Of Love" and "The Night We Called It A Day".

I do think that Diana Krall is a talented musician. She has good taste in her musical selections. However, she is NOT a very good singer. Her voice is weak. Her diction is poor, and her phrasing is often sloppy and unimaginative.
I would consider the following women great singers: Lena Horne, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Rosemary Clooney, Julie Andrews, and Barbra Streisand. These are artists whose voices are multi-octave. These gifted performers have the ability to exhibit power or subtlety consistently and appropriately. Their technical skills are immaculate (with the exception of Judy Garland in her later years when her substance abuse caused her to slur her words). These magnificent singers bring exceptional clarity, sophistication and originality to their interpretations of classic American pop songs. They can infuse the music with profound emotion.
Diana Krall's vocals are superficial and pedestrian in comparison. The quality of her voice is tenuous and inconsistent.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Unsung Hero in Diana Krall's "The Look of Love",
Barbara J. Major "bjbear71" (Upper Darby, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
I've read a lot of reviews on this CD and absolutely no one has bothered to acknowledge the obvious: a popular singer needs to surround themselves with great arrangers. After all, that's what Sinatra did. Unlike other comments I've read on this particular album, I'm here to state that the bulk of this album has Diana Krall not performing with a small group, but instead in a lush setting with a full string orchestra which delivers some sexy and sultry bossa nova arrangements. These arrangements could have only been written by the master of such arrangements, Claus Ogerman. Just listen to those extended endings on "Love Letters" and "Dancing in the Dark" if you want to hear arranging and musicality at its finest.
There have been critics who have panned the arrangements of "S'Wonderful" and "Besame Mucho" as not new because Claus also used them (to great success) on Joao Gilberto's "Amoroso" album in 1977. Still, Diana has put her own mark on these songs even though they are the same orchestral arrangements Claus did several decades ago. They are absolutely timeless, so nothing about either track sounds dated.
There simply isn't much not to like on this album if you are 1) a fan of Diana Krall; 2) a fan of bossa nova; 3) a fan of fine musical standards and 4) a fan of Claus Ogerman.
Diana did a very smart thing in wanting to work with Claus and have him do the arrangements for this album. It's to her credit and thanks to her excellent judgment, she may have just introduced a whole new audience and even a couple of generations to the talents of Mr. Ogerman.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Jazz Singer,
Bluejay Way (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
I have to speak up. This is not my favorite Diana Krall album, and - with all due respect to Bruce Weber - I'm a little put off by the photographic overkill in this CD package. But, big deal - so someone had a funky idea about how she should be marketed - it's been done since the earth cooled - and it makes her no less an artist.
As for Diana Krall's musical talent, I don't see how it can be questioned. She has a style, and she interprets music within that style. Her melodic and lyrical sensitivity is amazing, her rhythmic sense is impeccable, AND she's doing all this while plunking out some very tasty stuff on the keys...
Jazz is every bit as much about the silence between the notes as it is about the notes. If Diana Krall isn't the singer you want her to be, music fan, then listen to Sinatra sustain his notes (which he does very nicely) and get off her case.
Right now, I'd rather gear down and listen to an artist giving me consistently lush, complex and textured interpretations of great music. This album gives me that in spades - "S'Wonderful", "I Remember You" and "Dancing in the Dark" are particularly delicious.
3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Voice & Music, But Sadly Monotonous Album,
C. Michael Massey "litterateur" (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
Most of the reason, I suppose, that I'm as frustrated as I am with this album is that I really LIKE Diana Krall. Unfortunately, however, she seems to lack whatever is necessary to make most of the songs on this album worth even trying to listen to. In some cases, it's a lack of playfulness. In others, it's a lack of saucy attitude. In general, it's a sad lack of enthusiasm, resulting in a generally dead, monotonous collection of songs. It can certainly be relaxing, but if I weren't paying close attention, I might take the album for one incredibly long, slow song instead of the ten that it is.
I found "S'Wonderful," "I Remember You," and "I Get Along Without You Very Well" almost painful to listen to. They're just sung in such a dead-pan manner that they almost seem like a parody of themselves. I think she does adequately well on songs like "Cry Me A River," "Besame Mucho," "Maybe You'll Be There," and "The Look of Love." The diffference is subtle, but I think she's considerably more emotive in these tracks than she is in most of the others.
Over all, I agree with other reviewers that it's time for Krall to snap out of her daze and put a little more passion and attitude in her songs.
5.0 out of 5 stars Kick Back in the Dark, and Just Listen...,
This review is from: Look Of Love (Audio CD)
Those who do not know Diana Krall's music but have happened onto this album for whatever reason are in for a treat. And please be advised, you decidedly do not have to be a jazz enthusiast to enjoy and appreciate "The Look of Love," on which the inimitable Krall reinvents such standards as "S'Wonderful," "I Remember You" and "Cry Me A River," among others.
Krall is something of an anomaly in her field; acoustic-oriented jazz musicians do not generally have albums that go platinum and gold, nor do most have the kind of following that sells out the larger auditoriums and venues night after night, as she did in Paris in November/December, 2001, during her four shows at the Olympia. She's played the Lilith Fair and topped the billboard charts twice, the first time in 2000 with her album, "When I Look In Your Eyes," (which also landed her a Grammy nomination for Best Album of the Year, putting her in competition with such diverse artists as Santana, The Backstreet Boys, TLC and The Dixie Chicks), and most recently with this unforgettable collection.
By the time you've listened to this album for the first time, you'll understand how Krall has made such an impact on the music scene during the past ten years. The pianist/vocalist has an earthy quality in her sultry, magnificent voice that will keep you in thrall song after song, with the kind of music that seems to fill you up inside. The influence of artists who have preceded her are apparent in her style, most notably Carmen McRae, Nat "King" Cole, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and even Joni Mitchell and Sting, and yet her sound is her own; without question, Diana Krall is unique-- jazz's top selling vocalist, a crossover phenom who has remained faithful to her bop/swing roots, successfully incorporating the kind of music she loves into the musical impressions that have taken her to the top of the charts and generated a solid and ever-increasing base of loyal fans.
This is the kind of music that transcends generations or category; the kind that sooner or later will entice even the die-hard heavy metal/rap crowd, because this is music that will stop you in your tracks and tie up traffic. For a real experience, kick back in the dark, put on "The Look of Love" and just listen. It's transporting; and once you emerge from Krall's spell, you'll find that your world will forever be a bit sweeter. And a whole lot brighter.

New Technology Turns Food Leftovers Into Electricity, Vehicle Fuels
October 25, 2006
today, tons of table scraps from the Bay Area's finest
restaurants will be turned into clean, renewable energy at a new
UC Davis research and technology demonstration facility.
today, tons of table scraps from the Bay Area's finest
restaurants will be turned into clean, renewable energy at a new
UC Davis research and technology demonstration facility.
The Biogas Energy Project will process eight tons of leftovers weekly (and later as much as eight tons daily) from premier restaurants such as San Francisco's Slanted Door, Jardiniere, Scoma's, Boulevard and Zuni Café, and Oakland's Oliveto and Scott's Seafood.
If all goes well, each ton of broccoli spears, cantaloupe rinds and fish bones will produce enough energy to provide electricity to power 10 average California homes for one day.
The Biogas Energy Project is the first large-scale demonstration in the United States of a new technology developed in the past eight years by Ruihong Zhang, a UC Davis professor of biological and agricultural engineering. The technology, called an "anaerobic phased solids digester," has been licensed from the university and adapted for commercial use by Onsite Power Systems Inc.
The goal of this innovative public-private alliance is to divert organic matter -- stuff made from plants and animals, such as food waste and yard clippings -- away from landfills and into the energy grid. That reduces greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and turns trash into a substantial source of clean energy.
"The new Biogas Energy facility at UC Davis allows us to conduct innovative research on renewable energy sources. By utilizing agricultural and food waste as alternatives to fossil fuels, UC Davis continues the tradition of protecting California's environment," said Neal Van Alfen, dean of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
"The College of Engineering is leading a campuswide initiative that emphasizes renewable energy, energy efficiency and transportation," added Engineering Dean Enrique Lavernia. "The opening of the Biogas Energy Project marks a significant step, and we're delighted that we were able to partner with industry in addressing this important problem for the state and for the nation."
Zhang's system differs from other anaerobic digesters, most of which are in use on municipal wastewater treatment plants and livestock farms, in three key ways:
Zhang has proved in the laboratory on a small scale that in anaerobic, or oxygen-free, conditions, naturally occurring bacteria can quickly convert food and green wastes into hydrogen and methane gases.
Now the challenge is to make the gases in consistently high quality and large volumes over the long term.
Zhang believes it can be done. "My UC Davis students and I have determined the efficient bacterial species and their favorite environmental conditions for turning various wastes into gases," Zhang said.
"We know what happens with bacteria in 10 to 5,000 gallons of water and waste. Now we expect to see those bacteria perform as well, if not better, when they are in 50,000 to 300,000 gallons."
If they do, Onsite Power Systems CEO Dave Konwinski will be closer to his goal of selling similar power-production facilities to waste-generating businesses, such as food processors, farms and dairies, and municipal green-waste collection programs.
"Onsite will actually scale the digester to fit the customer's operations, then build it on their property. We will take the customer's waste stream in and send the energy it produces right back out to their plant," Konwinski said.
"This technology will make a substantial dent in both our landfill needs and our use of petroleum and coal for fuels and electricity. It also will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions."
Onsite Power Systems has invested almost $2 million in helping Zhang refine the technology and prepare it for transfer to the commercial market.
The other major funding source for Zhang's ongoing research has been the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program, which has awarded the university grants of nearly $1 million. The PIER program supports innovative energy research, development and demonstration projects that improve the quality of life in California by bringing environmentally safe, affordable and reliable energy services and products to the marketplace. Other supporters include:
Norcal Waste Systems of San Francisco is supplying the waste for the project because it already collects restaurant leftovers for its composting operation near Vacaville. Every day, Norcal collects 300 tons of food scraps from 2,000 restaurants in San Francisco and 150 more restaurants in Oakland, said Chris Choate, the firm's vice president of sustainability.
"Of the waste-collection companies in the U.S., Norcal is the most aggressive recycler," Choate said. "We pioneered collecting restaurant food scraps separately from other garbage and turning food scraps into nutrient-rich compost that is applied to vineyards and farms as an alternative to chemical fertilizers.
"New technology like UC Davis' offers California opportunities to harvest energy out of approximately 50 percent of the waste material that the state currently sends to landfills and to significantly reduce landfill disposal."
The Biogas Energy Project is one of several recent milestones in energy research and technology transfer at UC Davis.

Ball previews Holland tour
Coach hoping to learn more about new players on trip.
Sunderland's development squad travel to Holland this weekend as their pre-season schedule picks up pace ahead of their Barclays U21 Premier League opener against Bolton Wanderers on Monday 12th August.
The young Black Cats are set to play Borussia Monchengladbach on the opening day of their tour prior to a fixture with Dutch Third Division side RKSV Leonidas on Saturday 3rd August.
Coach Kevin Ball says the trip is an exciting prospect for the under-21s, who will look to recover from a 3-1 defeat to Spennymoor United on Saturday.
"We go to Holland for a mini pre-season tour," Ball said. "Originally we were meant to by playing PSV but unfortunately for us, fortunately for them, they've been promoted into a different league by the Dutch FA.
"I was a bit disappointed but then we've been given a fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach and I can't wait for that one.
"We finish the tour against an amateur side, they're a third-tier side in Holland but they're meant to be decent again so it will be two good games for us."
Ball said he will be glad to get together with the side, who have been boosted by the arrival of Duncan Watmore and multiple members of last season's successful under-18 side.
"It's nice to get the players away and nice for us to be together," he added. "It's nice for us to spend some time in each other's pockets because for the next ten or 11 months that's how it's going to be.
"We can learn to deal with each other's quirky little ways and for me to identify anything I need to work on with each individual or the team in general.
"It's nice to see people in a different light, it's nice for them to see me away from here, I think it's quite interesting that you might be a different character away from here.
"They come in and they see me as a coach, and I am, but I'm also there as a confidante when they need someone to talk to or anything that need help or advice on."

Kyle Gibson had three hits and one drove in a run as the Cardinals reached 40 wins for the seventh time in eight seasons.
CAMDEN, N.J. - Scoring two runs in the 11th inning, the fifth-ranked Louisville baseball team returned to its winning ways with a 6-4 series-clinching road victory over Temple on Sunday afternoon at Campbell's Field.
After their 12-game winning streak was halted on Saturday, the Cardinals (40-12, 16-5 American) bounced back to clinch their third straight series triumph and remain tied for first atop the American Conference standings. Louisville also clinched its seventh 40-win season in eight years under the guidance of head coach Dan McDonnell, who is 349-154 with the Cardinals.
With the game even at 4-4, Louisville gained control in the 11th when senior third baseman Alex Chittenden (Indianapolis, Ind.), who started the inning with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior catcher Kyle Gibson (Henderson, Ky.), stole third before scoring after the throw by Temple (13-29, 8-13) catcher Michael D'Acunti sailed over the head of third baseman Frank D'Agostino and into left field. Later in the inning, the Cardinals added an insurance run when junior Mike White (East Orange, N.J.), pinch running for freshman Will Smith (Louisville, Ky.) after he reached on another error by the Owls, scored from third on a two-out, RBI bunt by junior second baseman Zach Lucas (Louisville, Ky.).
The victory was locked down by junior righty Nick Burdi (Downers Grove, Ill.), who closed a strong performance by the Louisville bullpen by striking out six in three innings of perfect relief for to earn the win and improve to 3-1 on the season. Including the work from Burdi, who lowered his ERA 0.59 and has 53 strikeouts in 30.2 innings of relief this season, the bullpen finished with 11 strikeouts and allowed only one hit and in 6.2 innings of shutout relief.
At the plate, Gibson finished 3-of-5 with a RBI and a stolen base, while Chittenden was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Senior outfielder Jeff Gardner (Louisville, Ky.) was 2-for-5 with his team-leading seventh home run and two runs driven in, while senior outfielder Cole Sturgeon (Owensboro, Ky.) added a home run and a single in the win. Lucas chipped in with two hits and one RBI and freshman outfielder Colin Lyman (Algonquin, Ill.) had two hits, a stolen base and a run scored.
Louisville opened the scoring on Sunday when Gardner delivered a two-out, RBI single to center to score Lyman for a 1-0 lead in the first. The advantage was increased to 2-0 in the top of the third inning later after Gardner sent a 1-1 offering from Temple starter Ryan Kuehn over the wall in right center for a solo home run and a 2-0 cushion.
That lead was short-lived as the Owls charged ahead in the bottom of the third inning after catcher Michael D'Acunti powered a 1-1 pitch from sophomore righty Anthony Kidston (Defiance, Ohio) over the right field wall for a two-out, three-run homer. Walks to outfielders David Hall and Bobby Heitzman preceded the home run for Temple.
Louisville pulled even at 3-3 in the fourth inning when Sturgeon crushed a 1-0 pitch from Kuehn sending it out of the ballpark in right field for his second home run of the season and the fourth of his career. After Temple moved back ahead in the fifth inning at 4-3 on a RBI groundball off the bat of Jimmy Kerrigan, the Cardinals tied the game in the seventh on a two-out, RBI single up the middle by Gibson to score senior first baseman Grant Kay (Omaha, Neb.).
The score remained even at 4-4 until Louisville plated the final two runs of the day in the 11th inning. Reliever Tim McCarthy was charged with the loss for the Owls and dropped to 3-3 on the season after allowing the two unearned runs in the 11th inning.
Up next, Louisville will begin a four-game homestand in the final week of the regular season with a visit from No. 9 Indiana on Tuesday at 6 p.m., ET at Jim Patterson Stadium.

Martha Graham Dance Company to Perform at Pomona With Students on March 1
The Martha Graham Dance Company, one of the most celebrated contemporary dance companies in America, will be in residency at Pomona College from February 27 to March 1. Among the residency's components are a choreography workshop, access to rehearsals and, for some students, the opportunity to perform with the Company.
At the conclusion of the residency on March 1, the Martha Graham Dance Company will give a public performance at 8 p.m. in Bridges Auditorium (450 N. College Way, Claremont). The program will include a multimedia program of dance works from the 1920s and 1930s by Martha Graham and her contemporaries, including Panorama, performed by 26 students from the Claremont Colleges; Lamentation Variations and Diversion of Angels.
The students performing Panorama have given up their Friday and Saturday afternoons since October to rehearse under the direction of David Zurak, a former Graham Company member, and Laurie Cameron, director of the Pomona College Dance Program.
William Appleton '14, who has been dancing for three years, jumped at the opportunity to participate. "I knew that it was a rare opportunity to work with one of the most culturally significant institutions of modern dance in America. So, I auditioned for Panorama even though it was a long shot considering my lack experience, and I was lucky enough to get in. Until Panorama, I had only taken classes in ballet. I had to re-orient myself very quickly during rehearsals because Graham technique is, in some ways, the exact opposite of ballet."
For theatre major Sam Gold '11, "Learning Graham technique has made me a better, more expressive performer. The Panorama choreography takes your body to a place that is simultaneously powerful and vulnerable. It keeps you honest onstage--if only because you're so exhausted. Not just seeing but experiencing the progress made at every rehearsal-- both in my own work and in all the other dancers—has been an inspirational and beautiful thing.
"I am excited to get to work alongside these phenomenally talented professional performers," Gold added. "I can't wait to experience what it feels like to walk onstage after they've left the room charged with energy, take a deep breath, and perform."
For Tulsi Mehta '12, who has been performing and studying dance for the last 10 years, in both India and the U.S., "This choreography is like a little taste of the whole era in which Martha Graham was creating her repertoire, so with most of us not being trained in Graham technique, we've had lots to work on! To be able to master the movement in Panorama, we need to find it deeper in our bodies and minds…. For me, it was most important to have the time to really delve deeply into what it all meant. It's exciting to be carrying on her legacy."
"In addition to the Choreography Workshop, I am really looking forward to seeing how the company members move in rehearsal and performance," says Mehta. "I'm so curious to see how they interact with one another, to be able to observe their work ethic and energy, and I'm excited to ask them about their experiences."
For Cameron, "The Panorama experience has brought to life Graham's passion and her belief in dance as a powerful tool of social protest. Zurak has taken great pains to bring students into dialogue about how the piece, a 'call to action,' resonates today, most immediately in Egypt and other areas of the Middle East."
Students from all five of the Claremont Colleges auditioned to participate in Panorama. The cast of 26 represents Pomona, Scripps, Pitzer and Claremont McKenna, as well as one high school student who studies at Inland Pacific Ballet and three graduates of the Pomona and Scripps Dance Programs.
Tickets, which are free, for the performance have all been claimed. You may check with the Bridges Auditorium Box Office, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm., on the day of the event to see if any more tickets have been released.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 7, 2000 The Women in Military Service for America Memorial is perhaps the largest and best-known tribute to women's contributions to the nation's defense and defenders. It's also only one of hundreds of its kind.
Statues and inscriptions etched into marble in parks, gardens, cemeteries and cathedrals honor military women, war correspondents, industrial workers, American Red Cross and Salvation Army workers -- and women who took their husbands' places on the front line after the men fell in combat.
At the ceremonial entrance to Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial is the first major national tribute to all military women -- past, present and future. It also recognizes women who have served in direct support of the armed forces, particularly during conflicts, in a special way called "We Also Served."
The memorial project completely restored a structure formerly called the Hemicycle and took about 11 years from concept to completion. Dedicated on Oct. 18, 1997, it attracted more than 162,000 visitors last year.
The Vietnam Women's Memorial, dedicated in 1993, is part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial complex on the Washington Mall. Congress authorized the memorial in 1988 to honor the "women of the armed forces of the United States who served in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era." The bronze statue by sculptor Glenna Goodacre of Santa Fe, N.M., depicts three women, one of whom is tending a wounded soldier. The statue is 68 inches tall and weighs one ton.
The memorial pays tribute to 10,000 women stationed in Vietnam during the war. It also honors the more than 265,000 other military women who served stateside and in other areas of the world during the Vietnam War.
Eight trees encircling the statue's site commemorate the eight women who died in Vietnam. Their names are engraved in the shiny black granite wall panels of the nearby Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
American Red Cross spokesperson Kelly Alexander said women are honored by several memorials and other tributes at Red Cross Square in Washington. Over the years, hundreds of Red Cross workers lost their lives while supporting American combat troops, she noted.
A sculpture dedicated in 1959 in the square's garden depicts two men and a woman of the Red Cross carrying a casualty during World War II. The inscription etched into the white marble base reads: "In honor and memory of the men and women of the American Red Cross who have given their lives in the service of mankind."
Nearby is a bibical-looking memorial dedicated to Jane A. Delano. "She was the founder of Red Cross nursing and health services and was in charge of Red Cross nurses during World War I," Alexander said. More than 295 Red Cross nurses died in service during the war. Delano later became the second superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps and died in France while inspecting Army hospitals after the war.
A verse from the 91st Psalm inscribed on the marble base of the Delano Memorial reads: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday."
Pointing to the front of the main Red Cross building, Alexander noted that it was built in 1917 to house the national headquarters executive offices and is now a national historic landmark. "In memory of the heroic women of the Civil War" is etched into the white stone above the building's tall white columns.
Inscriptions gracing the front of the Red Cross visitors, history and education center include: "In memory of heroic women of the world war," "And that this memorial may carry on the light of her service for the sick and wounded of war and for those who suffer from diseases," and "To the mothers who gave their sons for their country."
The only sculpture honoring Red Cross founder Clara Barton is inside the center. The bronze bust was presented to the Red Cross by the Armenian Assembly of America with the inscription, "To the American Red Cross in commemoration of their 100th anniversary of the relief mission to Armenian led by Clara Barton, June 5, 1998."
African American activist and educator Mary McLeod Bethune isn't normally thought of as a major contributor to the nation's defense efforts, but she lobbied the War Department during World War II to commission black women officers in what became the Women's Army Corps.
In 1944, Bethune became the national commander of the Women's Army for National Defense, an all-black women's organization founded on Nov. 15, 1942. The organization was created to seek "opportunities for service ... share in this fight for democracy ... and to provide an instrument through which our women could serve in this great crisis, with dignity and pride... ."
With the help of President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bethune fought for better conditions for African Americans men and women in the military. The National Council of Negro Women, Inc. erected a huge statue honoring Bethune's many contributions to the nation on July 10, 1974, in Lincoln Park in northeast Washington. The three-person statue features the renowned educator and two students.
Several quotes from Bethune are inscribed around the larger-than-life-size statue: "I leave you finally a responsibility to our young people. I leave you also a desire to live harmoniously with your fellow man. I leave you a respect for the use of power. I leave you racial dignity. I leave you a thirst for education. I leave you the challenge of developing confidence in one another."
In northwest Washington, the Nuns of the Battlefield Monument pays tribute to more than 600 nuns who nursed battlefield casualties during the Civil War. The monument stands on the corner of Rhode Island Avenue and M Street.
The history of women serving in defense of America began more than 220 years ago with those who served in the Revolution and it continues with those who serve today, said Judy Bellafaire, curator of the Women's Memorial.
Several heroines from the Revolutionary War are honored with memorials, including "Molly Pitcher," who followed her husband to war and took his place at his cannon at Battle of Monmouth after he fell in combat, Bellafaire noted. Pitcher, whose real name was Mary Hayes, is memorialized on a stone pillar at the battle site, near the town of Freehold, N.J. A life-size statue of her also stands near her gravesite in her hometown of Carlisle, Pa.
A life-size statue in the town of Carmel, N.Y., honors Sybil Luddington, the "female Paul Revere." In 1777, 16- year-old Luddington rode cross-country to alert members of her father's militia to the British attack on the nearby town of Danbury, Conn.
A monument at West Point, N.Y., honors the deeds of Margaret Corbin during the Battle of Fort Washington, Bellafaire said. "When Margaret's husband was killed in the battle, she manned his cannon until she too was wounded. Corbin was the first woman awarded a disability pension by Congress for wounds incurred during military service."
A statue in the town of Martins Ferry, Ohio, honors Betty Zane's bravery during the siege of Fort Henry (present-day Wheeling, W.Va.), Bellafaire said. "When defenders of Fort Henry ran out of gunpowder in September 1782, Zane dashed about 100 yards to the storage shed, wrapped a supply of gunpowder in a cloth, and ran back to the fort through heavy crossfire," she said.
Two monuments in Arlington Cemetery honor civilian nurses who risked their lives caring for soldiers and sailors during a yellow fever epidemic of the Spanish American War. One is a shield-shaped monument dedicated to Dr. Anita McGee, who organized the civilian nurse effort during the war. Nearby, a Maltese cross, the symbol of the Spanish American War nurses, is carved into a rock in recognition of the women who died while nursing yellow fever victims.
"A white marble monument in Arlington National Cemetery stands guard over the graves of more than 400 Army and Navy nurses who died during World War I," Bellafaire said. "Many of them were victims of the influenza epidemic which swept across military bases and ports both in Europe and across the United States." It also honors the memory of Army Nurse Corps Superintendent Jane Delano.
Bellafaire said more than 300 of the nearly 500,000 American women who served during World War II died during the war, but there are only a few memorials in their honor.
Three statues honor members of the World War II Women's Airforce Service Pilots. WASPs served as test and ferry pilots and towed targets for student gunners. The memorials are at the Greater Wilmington Airport in Delaware; Avenger Field at Texas State Technical College, Marshall, Texas; and in the Jimmy Doolittle Garden of the Confederate Air Force Museum and Airfield in Midland, Texas.
A memorial to all "Women of the Sea Services" during World War II is on the Avenue of Flags at Wood National Cemetery in Milwaukee, Wis., Bellafaire noted.
Some memorials encompass all wars and both genders, such as the Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, N.H., dedicated to all men and women who have given their lives for their country, Bellafaire noted. She said some of the pictorial stones set in the cathedral's "Altar of the Nation" honor military women of the Revolutionary War and the Indian Wars, the Army nurses who served in the South Pacific and at Anzio, Italy, during World War II; and Navy nurses who died at sea.
"These are only a few examples of tributes to women that are scattered across the country," Bellafaire said. "They're usually small statues recognizing a specific group, like the Navy WAVES -- Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service."

McConkey's 1/7/12
Today we opened Kings Crown to the public. We have moved the snowguns from Kings Crown to Willy's. We don't typically make snow on Willy's but want to give our guests a variety of terrain to experience. Once we are done making snow on Willy's, we will move the snowguns back to King's Crown so that we can make snow for the terrain park. We are also currently making snow on Heckler.
How much natural snowfall do we need to open up additional terrain?
That varies: depending on several factors ranging from the run's pitch to what direction it faces to the obstacles on that run to the water content of the snow. These obstacles could include: rocks, stumps, downed trees, springs and creeks; all things you find in any mountain environment. Some runs can be opened with less snow than others.
When is Town Lift going to open?
Town Lift has been on a maintenance hold due to an issue with the gearbox. Our lift maintenance team has been working very closely with the gearbox and lift manufacturers to get the lift up and running. We are hopeful we will have it open by next weekend, just in time for the Martin Luther King holiday weekend. In the meantime, the ticket windows at the Town Lift Plaza remain open for guests to purchase tickets and mountain hosts are directing guests to the city busses to transfer to the Base area.
Why isn't the wind turbine working at the top of Silverlode lift?
On Dec 12 the brains of the turbine which consist of inverters and a wind controller, failed. The components have now been received by the local company that installed our system and they are in the process of programming the units. Hopefully, installation will be soon. We've missed some great wind generating opportunities. According to Brent Giles, the solar system has continued to produce at a rate that exceeds his expectation. He was hoping for at least 80% efficiency but it has consistently produced around 88%.
Hello, great post. I appreciate it. Also, I love snow winter. Great job. Thank's

The best thing about the lack of snow is discovering the King's Crown run! What a fabulous run: : view, sunny, pitch & perfect orientation! Please don't turn it into a terrain park...

Nick - groomers are great, and the off trail around Silverlode is generally rock free, but stay far from McConkey's on that new board of yours.
— Posted by Daniel on January 9, 2012 9:10 AM MST
Please CLOSE Tycoon, or at least put a sign up in addition to the "Experts Only" which should say "Nothin but Rocks". Glad for my rock skis, about 5 core shots from one run. Recommendation---DO NOT SKI. Just OK lines to be found down the bowl though.

@Daniel-- Im goin up thursday and am wondering if i should risk using my new board after reading your comment??

Ryanair, the World's Most Hated Airline, are facing legal action by Italian consumer watchdog Codacons after passengers travelling from Denmark to Rome on Thursday reported receiving insect bites during their flight.
In a statement the organisation said it would be filing a complaint with the Rome prosecutor's office and asking for compensation on behalf of the travellers.
Passengers had to receive medical treatment on arriving in the capital as a result of soreness and itching caused by the bites, thought to be the work of ticks. The plane was subsequently grounded and disinfested before resuming service on Friday morning.
Ryanair, keen to make a quick buck, are retrospectively charging passengers credit cards with a £5 tick bite surcharge. Blood sucking bastards.
