Greenfield - Despite going through particularly difficult workouts last week, the Greendale/Greenfield boys swimmers still had enough left to finish a strong sixth in the Metro Swim Officials' Invitational on Dec. 27 at Homestead.
The Panther-Hawks tallied 195 points in the 16-team event, which was packed with swimming powers from Wisconsin and Illinois and won by Lake Forest (Ill.), with 384 1/2 .
"Considering how hard the team worked the day before the meet, I am truly amazed at how well most of the swimmers performed," head coach Dale Schrank said. "A number of swimmers had double workouts and still turned in season-best performances."
Ross Rybakowicz won the 200 breast stroke with 2 minutes, 18.09 seconds for the Panther-Hawks' only first place of the day.
Rick Perez, Rybakowicz, Shawn Lucchesi and Adam Fleischhacker captured second in the 200 medley relay (1:41.3).
"We recorded a time in the 200 medley that beat Arrowhead (third at 1:41.43), which is never a small feat," Schrank said.
Perez also took thirds in the 200 backstroke (1:56.34) and the 100 backstroke (53.08 seconds) and Rybakowicz was third in the 100 breast stroke (1:02.55).
The 200 freestyle unit of Rybakowicz, Perez, Lucchesi and Fleischhacker claimed fifth (1:32.07). Andrew Staszak came in sixth in both the 1,000 freestyle (10:36.34) and the 500 freestyle (5:12.03) and Lucchesi was sixth in the 100 freestyle (50.93).
Lucchesi was also seventh in the 500 freestyle (5:16.21).
"Our sprinters did not fare as well," Schrank said. "Adam Fleischhacker, for example, could not get within four seconds of his best efforts in either the 100 or 200 freestyle events (he swam 2:00.25 in the 200 and 54.75 in the 100)."
Still, Schrank said that even though the double workouts may have taken a toll on some swimmers, they will be worth it in the long run.
"Those workouts will pay big dividends at the end of the season," the coach said. "It is very encouraging to me when the team is looking forward to our next workout. That is not the norm for the average high school team."
The Panther-Hawks next compete in the Marquette Invitational at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Schroeder Aquatic Center.
Their next Woodland Conference meet is at 5 p.m. Jan. 9, against Wauwatosa at Wauwatosa West.

This letter to the editor is directed to those who regard it as an affront to their specific beliefs to see "In God We Trust" anywhere within their sight and to those who want to dispose of anything that smacks of Christianity, like Christmas or Easter or crosses on private and public property.
Did it ever occur to them that the incidents of Ferguson, Mo., Detroit and even in movie theaters (among other places) involving young people and public education, dating all the way to back to 1963, would not have happened if ... if the removal of prayer at public schools had not occurred?
Muslims' critics are barking up the wrong tree.
This weekend, a group of loosely connected protesters are planing to host anti-Muslim demonstrations in front of at least 20 mosques across the United States. Here is a partial list of the places where events are scheduled: Amarillo; Dearborn, Mich.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Oklahoma City; Medford, Ore., and Oakland, Calif.
Some organizers are asking participants to leave their weapons at home; others, like the one who organized May's Armed Biker Rally at Phoenix Islamic Center, may be armed with automatic weapons.
Maybe someone can help me understand why Democrats support Islam.
In normal situations, those entities should oppose each other.
The Democratic Party supports homosexual marriage, abortion and believes there's a so-called "War on Women" by conservatives.
Islamic-ruled countries throw homosexuals from the top of buildings, execute women who use contraceptives and do not allow women to drive, get a job or an education.
These are completely opposite sides of the pendulum.
I enjoyed Amarillo Globe-News Public Safety Reporter Vanessa Garcia's story of the animal blessing at St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral School (Animals receive blessings in honor of St. Francis, Oct. 2, amarillo.com).
I thought about how we love animals and depend on the many benefits we receive from them — from the companionship of pets to the food we eat to observing them in nature.
Yet another tragic shooting — and sadly, the same old, molded, worm-infested White House bread is served.
Ban guns. All the while letting jihad roam free, and find another witness to what a great guy the next terrorist is while making apologies for the most intolerant destructive movement on the face of the earth today.
Punish law-abiding residents by taking away their guns and import troublemakers.
And by all means, keep the circus of criminal immunity for the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of State.
Paul Morrow
I hope (Amarillo City Councilmen) Randy Burkett, Mark Nair and Elisha Demerson are happy.
They got Richard Brown to resign from working on downtown improvement projects. They did him dirty. Here is a brilliant, dedicated and tireless worker who has given up more than 25 years of his life to make downtown Amarillo a better place, and all they wanted to do was throw him under the bus.
I am quite certain Brown put in all this work pro bono.
Without the bullets and guns, this out-of-control world would somehow push the safety back on — and our part in gaining control is loaded back in the chambers.
Imagine a series of dominoes, starting when the world began, and the dominoes quickly topple, one after another, in a never-ending effect.
I confess at times in my life I felt outraged and blamed God for allowing injustices. However, I realize God did not bring about the injustices.
I believe God gives us the freedom to choose the world over Him. His word says to obey the laws of the land. We must obey them.
My personal opinion is (Rowan County, Ken.) Clerk Kim Davis (who refused to issue gay marriage licenses) needs to lighten up her attitude a bit. Am I wrong in believing this is bias on her part?
While I respect Davis' feelings, I don't think her conscience is the final word any more than I think Obama's phone and pen are above God's authority.
Therefore, it is wrong for believers to impose our religious beliefs on others while doing our jobs.
Regarding the letter to the editor by Rick Bloodworth (Letter: America, elected officials need to repent, Oct. 1, amarillo.com), Mr. Bloodworth expressed concerns with the response in Congress to a series of videos depicting Planned Parenthood executives discussing the harvesting of the organs of unborn children. In the past two months, I voted twice to defund Planned Parenthood, but unfortunately each time Democrats filibustered these bills and prevented them from moving forward.
As an employee working at the Pantex nuclear weapons site where we refurbish and prepare nuclear weapons for the United States, I am speechless.
As we, the workers at the plant, walk on strike, not for monetary, but health issues and benefits, we find a lack of comment and even recognition of our plight regarding a contract that would strip workers of good health care — for the very workers and managers that risk their health to do the work of Pantex.

NM Air Force Base Explores Biomass for Energy
The US Air Force has entered into a license agreement with New Generation Biomass to explore development of a biomass renewable energy generation facility on Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
The license grants New Generation Biomass limited access to approximately 80 acres on Holloman AFB to determine its suitability for the proposed Black Bear Biomass Energy Facility, which would provide up to 20 MW of energy to the El Paso Electric grid, from which the base purchases electricity.
The agreement could result in an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL), a tool through which the Air Force leases real property assets to developers seeking to partner in projects that will benefit all stakeholders. If approved, the lease would provide the installation with either cash or in-kind payments to help fund Holloman needs.
The Air Force Civil Engineer Center, in San Antonio, Texas, manages the EUL program, and is partnering with Holloman AFB to develop the project. The Air Force is working with the prospective developer and coordinating with government agencies to carefully consider the effects of the proposed facility, to include environmental impacts, energy benefits and long-term sustainability. In addition, the 49th Wing is committed to transparency throughout the process, and, should the project move forward, there will be opportunities for public input.

Killer of Speech Terrain
It struck in the morning twain,
With a click he awoke in pain,
To a killer of speech terrain
That killed his speaking brain.
But he vowed he'd talk again –
Old word, new word, explain –
In an instant he formed a refrain
That was first said on the Seine:
"In the midst of a terrible rain
I found an invincible flame."
~ Peter
On What Stone is it Etched
On what stone is it etched
That man must have a Savior?
Maybe it's man's fate
To straddle the wind without hope —
Like Sisyphus, to lug the stone up the hill
Again… and again… and again …
~ Peter
Murder Should be Loathsome
It wasn't that he stole my life,
Or that he raped me,
Or that he slipped his knife
Gently beneath my ribs
Tickling my heart to death,
But that he did it so sweetly.
Murder should be loathsome,
Not lovely like a lullaby.
~ Peter
Boyish Dreams
I lived in panting excess,
Fleeing the pained remembrance
Of the sharp and shiny things
That cleaved my heaving heart.
My sins, conceived in solitude,
Like vermin in a warm, damp sack,
Ruined my boyish dreams —
I won't be getting them back.
~ Peter
Once again Shakespeare critic par excellence, Harold Goddard, provides a unique observation about Shakespeare. The play is Othello and the question is "why did Desdemona carelessly misplace the cherished handkerchief Othello gave her?" But Goddard doesn't answer the question; instead, he questions its premise:
Things are lost through carelessness or genuine accident — and the dropping of the handkerchief came about through neither of these. The truth, as contrasted with the fact, of the matter is that neither Desdemona, nor accident, nor Fate, dropped the handkerchief. Othello dropped it.
I have read Othello a dozen times, seen it performed a half-dozen times and have always assumed that Desdemona misplaced the handkerchief. After reading Goddard and re-reading Othello, I realize that in past readings I made the mistake most careless readers make: I assumed that Othello's "truth" is the truth. It is anything but. In effect, Iago not only dupes Othello; he dupes Othello's readers.
Goddard cites the following exchange between Othello and Desdemona as proof that Othello and not Desdemona dropped the handkerchief:
DESDEMONA: Why do you speak so faintly?
Are you not well?
OTHELLO: I have a pain upon my forehead here.
DESDEMONA: Faith, that's with watching; 'twill away again:
Let me but bind it hard, within this hour
It will be well.
OTHELLO: Your napkin is too little:
(He puts the handkerchief from him; and it drops)
Let it alone. Come, I'll go in with you.
DESDEMONA: I am very sorry that you are not well.
The "it" in "let it alone," Goddard says, refers not to the handkerchief but to Othello's aching forehead.
All of this seems clear enough, especially when you consider Shakespeare's stage direction – He puts the handkerchief from him; and it drops – telling us that Othello and not Desdemona dropped the napkin. So why do I and so many other readers assume that Desdemona lost the handkerchief? Because Othello says she did:
OTHELLO: I have a salt and sorry rheum offends me;
Lend me thy handkerchief.
DESDEMONA: Here, my lord.
OTHELLO: That which I gave you.
DESDEMONA: I have it not about me.
OTHELLO: Not?
DESDEMONA: No, indeed, my lord.
OTHELLO: That is a fault.
But does it really matter that Othello and not Desdemona dropped the handkerchief? Well, it does if you are a playwright who wants to depict a man provoked into an utterly irrational jealousy. In order to do this, Shakespeare must make Desdemona guiltless. She must be a paragon of the loyal and loving wife. A Saint, if you will.¹
Othello's end is more tragic when we have a spotless Desdemona. His pain is more intense and real because he recognizes that "like the 'base Indian'" he "threw a pearl away richer than all his tribe."
So what does Shakespeare do to keep Desdemona pure? He has her "neglect" the handkerchief only because she cares more for her husband's health. "I am very sorry that you are not well," Desdemona says after Othello drops the napkin. The well-directed actress playing Desdemona will not even look at the handkerchief as it falls to the ground. Her gaze must at all times be fixed on her ill husband. She is in vicarious pain; empathizing to the extreme with Othello's suffering. She suffers because the man she loves suffers. In short, Desdemona does what Saint's do.
Iago's hypnosis of Othello is magnitudes more skillful (and demonic) because Desdemona has done nothing to justify her husband's distrust. A lesser Machiavel than Iago could convince a man that his wife had been unfaithful to him when that wife had previously engaged in acts that could be construed as infidelity. Here, despite Desdemona having shown no overt signs of betrayal, Iago convinces Othello that his wife is a whore whom he must kill "else she'll betray more men." This, folks, is no ordinary villain.²
¹ Although a Desdemona who is careless with a love token would not necessarily be unfaithful or disloyal to her husband, the carelessness creates in the reader a modicum of doubt as to the depth of her love for Othello. Shakespeare, Goddard shows us, attempted in the lost-handkerchief scene to remove all doubt in the reader that Desdemona loved her husband. That I and many other readers of Othello have assumed that Desdemona was careless with the handkerchief shows that Shakespeare wrote for the stage. When reading the lost-handkerchief scene it is not as clear that Desdemona did not drop the napkin as it is when watching a properly acted stage presentation of the scene.
² Iago, with the possible exception of Hamlet, is the greatest intellect in all of Shakespeare. But Hamlet bends his intellect toward the good and it has the tragic consequence of resulting in bad. Iago, on the other hand, wants to do bad and commissions his formidable intellect to that end.
Man Is But a Talking Beast
"Man is but a talking beast
Pretending he's a God.
He sleeps and feeds like the least;
His idle boasts a fraud.
Might it be the beast that creeps
Considers man uncouth
For his pretense, his desperate leaps,
His trembling at the truth?
Were I a beast I'd think it so,
That man 'bove all is soft;
For all that he does seem to know
He seems not to know he's lost."
~ Peter
Longwood University has published an excellent guide for students, bloggers and writers on Writing about Shakespeare. Check it out. It's worth it.
Shakespeare improved Cinthio, his source for Othello, by making manifest Iago's exploitation of Othello's insecurities as a black man living in a prejudicial, white society. If everyone around you thinks you're base, lustful and inferior, you're bound to think so yourself.
In order to have believed the manipulating Iago, Othello must on some level have already believed that he was unworthy of the love of a beautiful white woman. And I would take this a step further and suggest that Othello doubted the sincerity of Desdemona's love for him every bit as much as her father had. You'll recall that Brabantio was so certain that his daughter would not have fallen in love with a Moor that he assumed Othello had used witchcraft to beguile her.
Thus, even though Shakespeare was, as we all are, a product of his times and surely held many of the prejudices and bigotries extant then, he does something extraordinary and visionary with the fact of Othello's blackness. He in effect overturns Plessy v Ferguson and the separate-but-equal doctrine, long before the Supreme Court in Brown v Board of Education did, by presenting in dramatic form the insidiousness of societal bigotry.
One of the most powerful pieces of evidence in the Brown case was a study conducted by Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife, Maime Phipps Clark called the doll test:
In the "doll test," psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark used four plastic, diaper-clad dolls, identical except for color. They showed the dolls to black children between the ages of three and seven and asked them questions to determine racial perception and preference. Almost all of the children readily identified the race of the dolls. However, when asked which they preferred, the majority selected the white doll and attributed positive characteristics to it. The Clarks also gave the children outline drawings of a boy and girl and asked them to color the figures the same color as themselves. Many of the children with dark complexions colored the figures with a white or yellow crayon. The Clarks concluded that "prejudice, discrimination, and segregation" caused black children to develop a sense of inferiority and self-hatred.
Like the black children in Clark's doll test, Othello had been primed by a racist society to believe the very worst about himself. It was therefore easy for him to believe Iago's suggestion that a beautiful white woman could not truly love him because he had lived his entire life in a world that perpetuated the notion of his hideousness and inferiority and was, thereby, denied the opportunity to truly love himself.
Shakespeare anticipates everything. Had the Justices who decided Plessy been readers of Shakespeare, perhaps we would never have had a separate-but-equal doctrine.
This is an excerpt from an interview with Harold Bloom that appeared in the Spring 1991 issue of The Paris Review. Harold Bloom, probably the most famous American critic of Shakespeare, is the author of several works of literary criticism, including The Anxiety of Influence, The Visionary Company, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, and, most recently, The Book of J. He currently teaches English Literature at both Yale and New York Universities.
INTERVIEWER: You teach Freud and Shakespeare.
BLOOM: Oh, yes, increasingly. I keep telling my students that I'm not interested in a Freudian reading of Shakespeare but a kind of Shakespearean reading of Freud. In some sense, Freud has to be seen as a prose version of Shakespeare, the Freudian map of the mind being in fact Shakespearean. There's a lot of resentment about this on Freud's part because I think he recognizes it. What we think of as Freudian psychology is really a Shakespearean invention, and, for the most part, Freud is merely codifying it. This shouldn't be too surprising. Freud himself says, "The poets were here before me," and the poet in particular is necessarily Shakespeare.
But I think it runs even deeper than that. Western psychology is much more a Shakespearean than a biblical invention, let alone, obviously, a Homeric, or Sophoclean, or even Platonic, never mind a Cartesian or jungian invention. It's not just that Shakespeare gives us most of our representations of cognition as such; I'm not so sure he doesn't largely invent what we think of as cognition. I remember saying something like this to a seminar consisting of professional teachers of Shakespeare, and one of them got very indignant and said, "You are confusing Shakespeare with God." I don't see why one shouldn't, as it were. Most of what we know about how to represent cognition and personality in language was permanently altered by Shakespeare.
The principal insight I've had in teaching and writing about Shakespeare is that there isn't anyone before Shakespeare who actually gives you a representation of characters or human figures speaking out loud, whether to themselves or to others or both, and then brooding out loud, whether to themselves or to others or both, on what they themselves have said. And then, in the course of pondering, undergoing a serious or vital change-becoming a different kind of character or personality, and even a different kind of mind. We take that utterly for granted in representation. But it doesn't exist before Shakespeare.
It doesn't happen in the Bible. It doesn't happen in Homer or Dante- it doesn't even happen in Euripides. It's pretty clear that Shakespeare s true precursor- where he took the hint from is Chaucer. But Chaucer only does it in fits and starts, and in small degree. Shakespeare does it all the time. It's his common stock. The ability to do that, and to persuade one that this is a natural mode of representation, is purely Shakespearean. We are now so contained by it that we can't see its originality anymore. But the originality of it is bewildering.
Think of Bloom's words when you read Shakespeare and you will notice "Freudian" neuroses in many of his major characters. Macbeth's concerns about his manliness, Othello's jealousy, Hamlet's vacillation and King Lear's delusions are dramatic interpretations of complex mental processes Freud would later study and write about.

Washington coach Jay Gruden disses DeSean Jackson
DeSean Jackson and the Washington Redskins will be making a trip to Philadelphia, in a critical early season game against the Eagles. Besides a share of first place being on the line, Jackson wants to make the Eagles pay for releasing him. However, a sprained left shoulder may end up keeping Jackson out, regardless of what the outspoken receiver says.
This is because coach Jay Gruden has made it known that if Jackson isn't 100 percent, he's essentially useless to the team. In addition to Gruden's remarks about Jackson's health, he also told ESPN 980 that DeSean is a "terrible blocker."
"He did a little bit today," Gruden said. "I think he's gonna be a game-day type deal. He wants to go really bad — obviously he's going back to Philly. But if he's not 100 percent — if he's 60-70 percent — he's really not that good to us."
"I know, but he's already 160 pounds," Gruden said. "He's already a very terrible blocker. We'll see. I think he wants to play. He's a tough guy. He is allowed to wear shoulder pads, so he might be all right."
It seems highly unlikely that Jackson would miss this game, regardless of his health status. Back in late July, Jackson took a shot at the Philadelphia saying that Washington has a better fan base. Jackson is use to hearing the booing and criticism that the Philadelphia fan base is known for, but Sunday might be a new level of booing – even for Philly fans.

Loved this hotel! Very conveniently located and has loads of charm. The great staff really made us feel welcomed. Within easy walking distance of all the sights. If I'm ever back in Geneva, this is where I would stay.
This cozy hotel is well located with a capable professional team.
Each room is different in style and décor, clean and functional.
The WiFi is much improved since my last visit as is the Air Conditioning.
It has a simple breakfast area but no restaurant or facilities. For business people it is ideal but still pricey when you consider all...
The hotel is family owned and in a pleasant boutique style, mixing stone and modern colours etc. Located a a few minutes from the main railway station and the lake, it is hard to beat the location. On checking in I was given an upgrade on the top floor, with a mezzanine and balcony. All very pleasant.

Good central location, very nice staff, clean and spacious rooms.
very nice for its position in the market.
Stay here and you wont be disappointed with location or service.
A short walk from the central station and the lake front.
Staff excellent, I asked for an ironing board and it was delivered immediately to my room by very polite staff....
The Hotel d'Alleves' main strength is nice bedrooms. Quite spacious (for Geneva hotels) and thoughtfully decorated giving a slight heritage feel. On their own the rooms might merit the hotel a good rating, but with a small reception area and no other common areas (apart from the breakfast room), there is no area to socialise or relax in, which is...
I have stayed in this hotel more than 10 times now, always for three nights. Frankly, I do not know if I like it, it is pretty aseptic. Certainly there is nothing to complain about. Rooms are spacious, calm and clean. Service is good and helpful. Decoration is a bit outdated to my taste, but maybe some other people find...

The impact of a proposed cap on contractor executive salary reimbursement would depend on the size of the contractor, according to a new Government Accountability Office study.
Executives at large companies, said the agency, would feel the biggest pinch under the cap proposal, which is backed by the White House's Office of Management and Budget. GAO found that few smaller companies paid their executives at levels comparable to the president and vice president.
The study, released June 19, stems from government efforts to stanch rising executive compensation under federal contracts. Currently, contractors that are paid based on their incurred costs can demand reimbursement for executive salaries. About one-third of current contract spending is included in that, according to Joe Jordan, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy at OMB.
Companies have been limited in the amount they can be reimbursed since the 1990s, but according to the GAO, the cap has dramatically increased in real terms -- by 63 percent -- since then. The cap, set at $693,951 in 2010, rose to $763,029 for 2011 and 2012. It is set to reach $950,000 this year if no action is taken by lawmakers.
In a May 31 blog post concerning president Obama's latest budget, Jordan proposed tying contractors' executive compensation levels to the president's salary of $400,000.
Tying executive salary to the president's pay grade, GAO found, would have saved the government $180 million in compensation costs from 2010 to 2012. Tying it to the vice-president's salary of $230,700, which Congress also asked GAO to consider, would have saved $440 million, GAO found.
GAO queried 27 companies about executive pay in the study. Across that sample of contractors, it found that fewer than 200 employees in any one year had compensation costs over the existing cap. However, the number would have increased to more than 500 if the cap had been set at the president's salary, and to more than 3,000 if the cap had been set at the vice president's salary, GAO found.
It also noted that contractors held the proposed caps would be tricky to apply, since work that qualifies as executive-level is not easy to pin down. One contractor, it said, listed 126 employees with compensation costs over the vice-presidential salary who had the word "scientist" or "engineer" in their job title. But the company chose not to classify any of those individuals as scientists or engineers, because they considered them to be executives.
OMB told GAO that the study underscored its point that compensation-reimbursement policies need reform. OMB added that the growth in the cap has outpaced the rate of inflation, the rate of growth of private sector salaries generally, and the rate of growth of federal salaries. It also said the proposed cap would not limit the amount companies could pay their executives, only the amount that taxpayers would reimburse the company.
Government services providers, however, warned that the study was based on a "minuscule" sample of the government contracting sector, and lacked context and depth.
"The sample size of 27 companies is simply too limited and the analysis does not take into account how the proposed caps match up against the demands of the broader marketplace for talent, which is where companies, like the government, must be able to compete," said Public Services Council President Stan Soloway in a June 19 statement. "In the end, that is the most important and relevant question. Unfortunately it remains unanswered."
The study, Soloway said, does not consider the impact of the proposed caps down the road. And the report mixes two different terms; compensation and salary, he noted, are not the same thing.
If the president's salary were subjected to the same definition used in law to determine allowable contractor compensation, which includes benefits, bonuses, and other taxable elements, "it would almost certainly be well into the millions of dollars," Soloway said. In addition, taxpayers provide the president's food, transportation, housing and security.
As such, his salary is "not even a baseline worth measuring against," Soloway argued.

I support this move. Contractor executives are not supporting one Federal client as a FTE; they are actively involved entirely across a company's internal operations. To have the government cover their salaries as an expense within a contract is just robbing the taxpayer and enriching the company even more. If a company wants to pay its executive more than the highest paid Federal government employee, that money should come out of the company's profits.

Skoll Awardee(s): Luis Szarán
Award Year: 2005
Issue Area(s) Addressed: Education
(Click here to print)
Sonidos de la Tierra
Skoll Awardee(s): Luis Szarán
"Playing music provides a vehicle for self-expression, for gaining the admiration of one's peers and improving self-esteem. It instills discipline and rewards persistence and hard work. Likewise, participating in a musical ensemble teaches patience, cooperation, and the art of listening; encourages precision and the pursuit of excellence; and promotes a sense of belonging and community. It is activities and values such as these that young people in Paraguay need in order to overcome the feeling of social malaise and the culture of violence that afflict so many of their peers."
Sub-Issue: Secondary Education
Young people living in poor areas have few opportunities for constructive recreation and often fail to develop the self-esteem and sense of purpose essential to their development as responsible adults.
The Skoll Awardee: Luis Szarán is an internationally known composer and conductor, maestro of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Asunción, Paraguay. The eighth child of struggling farmers, he was "discovered" by a prominent Paraguayan musician and given the opportunity to study with master teachers in Europe. His experience drove him to found "Sonidos de la Tierra" (Sounds of the Land) in early 2002, adapting an approach pioneered in Venezuela, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Sonidos' program engages entire towns in supporting music education and performance, and in so doing, creates new ways of thinking about development challenges. The program provides musical leadership from the maestro and a corps of itinerant professors, and financial assistance to acquire the instruments needed to start. Luis. Szarán is widely quoted as saying that "young people who play Mozart by day do not break windows at night." The project also supports studios where artisans construct and repair instruments, earning substantial income and keeping the project supplied, and is engaging its students and teachers in reviving and documenting the traditional music of Paraguay. At the time of the Award, Sonidos was working in 18 towns, reaching 1,700 young people, whose performance in school had been documented to improve by up to 25 percent.
Impact since joining the portfolio in 2005:
- Sonidos de la Tierra today reaches more than 14,000 young people from Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay.
- Music schools and youth orchestras are currently carrying out programs in more than 180 cities, towns, and rural and slum schools.
- More than 400 musical instruments have been build at the organization's workshops, including instruments made from materials recycled from trash.
- In 2012, Sonidos launched a new program, the H20 Orchestra, with instruments made of bottles, hoses, pipes, and funnels, to educate about the importance of water.
- In October 2013, Sonidos broke the Guinness World Record for the largest harp ensemble, with a performance by 420 Paraguayan harpists that more than doubled the previous record.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
04 Feb 2010 19:09 GMT
Lieberman's comments prompted Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to issue a statement reassuring Syria that Israel seeks peace.
'No preconditions'
Nir Hefetz, Netanyahu's spokesman, said the prime minister had discussed the Syria issue with Lieberman.
"The two clarify that the policy of the government is clear: Israel seeks peace and negotiations with Syria without preconditions. Having said that, Israel will continue to act aggressively and persistently to any threat toward it," the statement from Hefetz said.
In another statement, the prime minister's office said Netanyahu will ask his ministers to refrain from speaking out about the Syrian issue.
Lieberman, the head of the ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party, has stirred controversy before with statements that Israeli-Arab parliamentarians who meet Palestinian fighters should be executed and that the president of Egypt could "go to hell".
Eitan Cabel, a member of parliament from the Labor party, urged Netanyahu to get rid of Lieberman, calling the foreign minister a "warmonger who has no honour or wisdom."
Golan Heights
In his speech on Thursday, Lieberman also advised Syria to abandon its dreams of recovering the Israeli-held Golan Heights.
"We must make Syria recognise that just as it relinquished its dream of a greater Syria that controls Lebanon ... it will have to relinquish its ultimate demand regarding the Golan Heights," Lieberman said.
"All this is just posturing and things will calm down in two or three days since neither Israel nor Syria want to cause a war."
Eyal Zisser, specialist on Israeli-Syrian relations
Several rounds of indirect peace talks between Syria and Israel in 2008 ended without agreement.
Al-Assad's comments about Israel not seeking peace came in response to a warning from Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, who earlier this week said the absence of peacemaking with Syria could result in a regional war.
Eyal Zisser, a specialist on relations with Syria at Tel Aviv University, said he believed the Syrians misinterpreted Barak's comments, which were meant as an argument in favour of renewed negotiations.
Zisser described the heated language between the two neighbouring countries as "posturing".
"All this is just posturing and things will calm down in two or three days since neither Israel nor Syria want to cause a war," he said.
