Culture center hero sculpture to be commissionedUPDATED 6:24 PM MDT May 06, 2014
A long-standing controversy with the Hispanic Cultural Center in New Mexico is finally settled.Video Transcript
NEW TONIGHT, A LONG STANDING CONTROVERSY WITH THE HISPANIC CULTURAL CENTER IS FINALLY SETTLED. WHEN THE CULTURAL CENTER WAS BUILT, A PARK DEDICATED TO A ROLE MODEL IN THE BARELAS COMMUNITY, WAS BULLDOZED. KOAT ACTION 7 NEWS REPORTER REGINA RUIZ JOINS US TO EXPLAIN THE NEW AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FAMILIES AND THE CENTER. PETE PADILLA AND MANUEL MORA WERE NOT ONLY HEROS KILLED IN WAR, THEY WERE COMMUNITY HEROS GROWING UP IN BARELAS. NOW, THE HISPANIC CULTURAL CENTER WILL FEATURE A SCULPTURE OF THE MEN IN A PARK DEDICATED IN THEIR HONOR. IT'S SOMETHING THE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN WANTING FOR A LONG TIME. this has brought closure to us.From our family, our extended family, from South Barelas residents, this is what we have been waiting for PETE PADILLA -- PASSED AWAY AT 26 IN THE VIETNAM WAR. HE WAS A POET, A BOXER, A ROLE MODEL IN BARELAS. MANUEL MORA --ALSO DIED IN THE WAR. HE WAS A PILLAR IN THE COMMUNITY. The community honored them because of who they were and what they stood for. They made a lot of changes for the kids who grew up here and showed them a way out. Showing they can accomplish anything they want to accomplish if they put their mind to it. THERE'S A LONG HISTORY HERE. TO HONOR THE TWO YOUNG LIVES LOST IN WAR, THE HISPANIC CULTURAL CENTER PLANNED A SCULPTURE. THERE WERE THREE PROPOSALS. ONE OF PADILLA AND MORA, ANOTHER A MODERN APPROACH. You see them in an image of a statue and they are back home BUT, THE FAMILY WAS OUT VOTED BY THE HISPANIC CULTURAL CENTER BOARD IN IT'S CHOICE FOR A SCULPTURE 5-2. It's a beautiful sculpture, but it doesn't represent what we were after or what the community was after BUT, EARLY THIS YEAR A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT THE CULTURAL CENTER BEGAN MEETING WITH THE FAMILIES I think the most important thing is always to do the right thing even when no one is looking NOW, BOTH SCULPTURES WILL BE FUNDED AND ON DISPLAY. The sculpture of Pete Padilla and Manuel Mora will be put right here at the front of the memorial park. The cultural center hopes to have it finished by the end of the year AND WITH THAT SCULPTURE IN PLACE, THE FAMILIES SAY PADILLA AND MORA'S LEGACY, MEMORY AND ADVICE TO YOUTH WILL LIVE ON. We were behind social barriers, we had a bad image here and my brother for one said no there's got to be a better way. We have to break out of this. THE SCULPTURE OF PADILLA AND MORA ORIGINALLY WOULD COST 125-THOUSAND DOLLARS. BUT, NOW THE ARTIST REYNALDO RIVERA HAS AGREED TO DO IT FOR ONLY 80-THOUSAND. THE FAMIIES WANT TO RAISE MONEY BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S A MORAL OBLIGATION TO PAY RIVERA WHAT THE SCULPTURE IS WORTH. THE SCULPTURE OF MORA AND PADILLA WILL BE FUNDED BY THE "ART IN PUBLIC PLACES" PROGRAM. TOURS FOR A PIECE OF NEW MEXICO'S DARK

"Some people say they are harder to breed than the scarlet-chested, but that has not been true for me. In fact, they are hardier than the scarlet-chested and just as easy to breed. I think their color is just as striking as the scarlet-chested."

By Maureen McDonough
Dec 2005 / Jan 2006 | If the twentieth century was the century of the gene, then the twenty-first century is the century of the cell. In the race to turn cutting-edge science into profits, stem cells appear to be the horse everyone is betting on — or at least some European and Asian governments, a few U.S. states, and a few old Wall Street favorites.
No one wants to be left behind, or worse, miss out on the profits of tomorrow's science. This is why the European Union provided EuroStemCell, the European Consortium for Stem Cell Research, with 11.9 million euros in funding for four years and California earmarked $300 million per year for the next decade with Proposition 71. In the United States alone, nearly $4 billion in private and state monies have been committed to stem cell research over the next decade, and another three-quarters of a billion dollars are under active consideration.
In 1992, Geron established its headquarters and main facilities in Menlo Park, Calif., before the state became the center of the stem cell gold rush. When the company was first founded, it focused on isolating the human gene coding for telomerase — a molecule thought to prolong cellular life by preventing cell death (apoptosis). Hyped for its potential use as an anti-aging agent and cancer target, telomerase had Wall Street tripping over itself to invest in the company. Though Geron continues to actively pursue therapeutic products that target telomerase, today its human ES cell programs play a more prominent role.
Geron is looking to mimic the familiar blockbuster model. "We are going to sell these cells in a pill," says Thomas Okarma, CEO of Geron. Local pharmacies will have the cells on ice, ready to fill patients' stem cell prescriptions. The company's first stem cell trials, which could begin as early as next year, will be for patients with spinal cord injuries. However, there are only 11,000 cases of spinal cord injury per year, and Geron is hoping to move quickly onto heart disease and diabetes where there is a greater patient population, says Okarma.
Of the types of stem cells to choose from, Geron has chosen to focus its energy on the embryonic variety. "Embryonic stem cells are the only available platform that's fully scalable," says Okarma. And scalability is a key component to creating a blockbuster. However, these cells have created more ethical controversy than therapies to date. Okarma doesn't think the political climate or the public perception of ES cells will affect the development of therapies. "What will change the public debate is when ES cells are in clinical trials and there is data," he says. "Until there is data, we are all just talking."
In contrast to Okarma's "ES cells or bust" attitude, some companies have chosen less controversial routes, such as stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood. Companies such as Viacord (see "Cord Blood Commerce") are creating some of the most profitable stem cell businesses. However, unlike the blockbuster cell therapy Geron is after, cord stem cells could only be used to treat relatives of the donor.
Compatibility IssueOne company working to create even more patient-specific cell therapies is Advanced Cell Technology (ACT). With 300 patents and patent applications, ACT has focused almost exclusively on the problem of immunological compatibility. Even if ES cells can be used to treat a disease, there is still the problem of rejection, as ViaCell (see "Cord Blood Commerce") can attest.
One application of nuclear transfer (or therapeutic cloning) involves taking the nucleus from a patient's cell and putting it inside an egg so that ES cells can be generated from the subsequent blastomere. Because the genome in these cells matches the patient's, the chance of rejection is theoretically abolished. This technology is ACT's intellectual property and scientific strength, says Bill Caldwell, CEO of ACT. Yet nuclear transfer is also one of the most ethically challenging technologies because it results not only in the destruction of the embryo (when the ES cells are harvested) but also in the derivation of cloned embryos.
"Nuclear transfer is the most advanced technology, but we are actively looking at others," says Caldwell. "However, we cannot derail [work on nuclear transfer]. All the other potential alternatives are just that — potential." But ACT is actively pursuing that potential.
In October, ACT published results in Nature announcing that the company had derived ES cells in mice by removing a single cell from an embryo, a technique that does not destroy the embryo. "The most basic objection to ES cell research is the fact that embryos are deprived of any further potential to develop into a complete human being," said Robert Lanza, medical director of ACT and senior author of the study. "We have shown in a mouse model that you can generate ES cells using a method that does not interfere with the developmental potential of the embryo."
ACT is focused on being the first to commercialize the most profitable applications of regenerative medicine. "Clearly, on a corporate level we create competition," Caldwell says. In what appears to be an obligatory step for ambitious stem cell companies, ACT recently expanded its senior scientific team in California.
U.S. Versus the Rest of the WorldWhile the cautious political approach to federal stem cell funding has handicapped research in the United States, competition around the globe, particularly in Korea and the United Kingdom, is heating up and threatening to leave the United States lagging behind, Caldwell says. "The U.S. has a distinct advantage over the world. We have the economic infrastructure, we have innovation plus creativity, and finally the key to success, and we have the entrepreneurial spirit. The tragedy is that we have potentially left this field open to the rest of the world to capitalize on," Caldwell says.
One company trying to use America's slow start to its advantage is Stem Cell Sciences (SCS) Ltd. Company president and CEO Peter Mountford offers two reasons why this company will be successful: a simple business model and a global stance.
In 1993, Mountford and Austin Smith, chair of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology in Cambridge, England, filed a patent for a technology that allows the isolation of essential cell types that differentiated from stem cells. "Some people are calling [the patented technology] the PCR of stem cells," Mountford says. "It's not quite that, but it's close."
A year after filing the patent, Mountford founded SCS as a virtual company in Australia. Today SCS has research facilities in Melbourne, Australia; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Kobe, Japan. Each center has close ties with its local academic institutions including Monash University, the Australian Stem Cell Center, and the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology. At the University of Edinburgh, SCS is the commercialization partner of the Institute of Stem Cell Research and has an intellectual property licensing agreement with the university.
Part of SCS's strategy is to align itself with some of the best stem cell research centers in the world, but the company has yet to set up shop in the United States. "We want to build strength outside the U.S. before we go there," Mountford says. "Right now, the company is self-building in getting the best of the best." But like most everyone in the business, SCS is looking toward California, both as a potential funding source and as competition.
Mountford counts Geron and ACT among SCS's stiffest competition. "Geron is known for its financial assets; we are known for the science," he says. "But the state of California will be a serious threat to us all."
While U.S. researchers have had to look beyond the federal government for funding for ES cell research, scientists abroad are almost entirely reliant on public funding. In an attempt to increase its chances of making money from stem cell technology, Scotland has created an organization with 150 million pounds to spend over the next decade.
ITI Life Sciences closely monitors the global life science landscape and tries to identify the best places for investment in precompetitive work. The organization then creates and funds research programs designed with commercial applications in mind. "We are an economic development tool," says Karen Sullivan, director of intellectual asset management and commercialization. "But we aren't very VC-like because we take a very active role in the projects. We are spending taxpayers' money, so we need to be responsible. All the time we try to capture as much benefit for Scotland."
Though Scotland's investment may seem small in comparison to the numbers being thrown around by some U.S. states, the country is hoping to get the most for its money through carefully managing projects likely to have intellectual assets. The strategy contrasts starkly with the chaotic nature and mixed motives behind U.S. state and federal stem cell funding, but then Scotland is also lacking the VC money that has played such a large role in the United States.
Like most new life science industries, the stem cell business landscape looks like a maze. There are many paths, turns, and dead-ends, but it is quite possible that there will be more than one route to the finish line.

Money Talks
Unpopular budget cuts to two state departments are being avoided through a bizarre new technique: talking.
The innovation was prompted by a House Ways and Means subcommittee, which has forced union representatives and department managers to sit down and jointly shave money without cutting core services.
"It's such a different way to do a budget than how budgets were done before," says committee member Randy Leonard, a Portland Democrat. "I hope it's kind of a precedent."
In his proposed budget, Gov. John Kitzhaber's cut 157 positions, mainly troopers, from the Oregon State Police. That didn't sit well with lawmakers, so Leonard, the former head of the Portland firefighters' union, asked Jim Botwinis, president of the Oregon State Police Officers Association, to come up with an alternative. He suggested consolidating patrol districts to cut managerial costs. OSP administrators liked the idea and hope to restore 121 of the positions.
"The Legislature deserves as much credit for this as anyone," says Botwinis. "They had the moxie to say 'We want you to talk'--and they directed it."
Meanwhile, the governor's Department of Corrections budget also drew protests. Guards worried that his proposal to cut inmates' recreational activities as well as educational and drug and alcohol programs would lead to violence.
"The state probably has a need for one dungeon," says Mary Botkin of AFSCME, which represents corrections officers. "We almost ended up with 12 of them."
Last Friday, however, AFSCME and DOC administrators reached a tentative compromise that will restore the programs that were on the chopping block. Instead, money will be saved by slowing down hiring at new prisons and by cutting managers. "I'm very encouraged," says Botkin. "It really changes the way we do business with the department."

Hey, what are you working on?
It isn't easy being an amateur. Michael Tolley is the volunteer driver representative on the city of Portland's Taxicab Board of Review. The 10-year veteran cab driver has been pushing House Bill 3244, which would make any assault on a cab driver a felony. The bill stems from three driver murders over the past decade, including one in February. Over the past few months Tolley has taken a crash course in how to weave his way around legislative roadblocks. So far, so good. The bill has already passed the House and has a hearing May 17 before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Why is this bill important for taxi drivers?
Cabdrivers are particularly vulnerable because they work alone, they're known to have cash with them. They frequently have to go into high-crime and desolate areas and they are required by city code to pick up anybody who has a demonstrated ability to pay. Many assaults already are felonies, but not all. The bottom line is to post a notice in every cab that says assaulting a cab driver is a felony.
What was the hardest thing to learn about lobbying?
Well, four weeks ago I could have named maybe five senators. Now I can tell you the names of all 90, the committees they serve on, their party affiliation and what the other lawmakers think of them.
What do you think of them?
Even with 4,000 bills to consider, nearly every member of the Legislature has found time to sit down and talk to a cab driver. I've been real impressed.
It seems most people hate politicians.
There are a lot of people do, but I wish everyone could have this experience. There are some intelligent, dedicated and hard-working people down there. The negative things make the news; the hard-working legislators aren't newsworthy.
--Patty Wentz
* Drug lords are rounding up allies in their fight against Gov. John Kitzhaber's pharmaceutical cost-control formulary. In a press conference organized by a former Pfizer lobbyist, members of the Oregon Bioscience Association, a trade association for biotech companies, claimed that Oregon would be blackballed if the bill passed, cutting off their access to venture capital.
* Two words of advice for Rep. Rob Patridge: caller ID. Word is, the Republican lawmaker was standing at PDX last Wednesday morning to catch a flight to Washington, D.C., for a national legislative conference. Patridge had dutifully obtained permission from House Speaker Mark Simmons to be absent...or so he thought until his cell phone rang at 5:05 am. It was the Speaker, saying Patridge's absences would not be excused. We're sure it's just a coincidence that Patridge has been pushing bills that run counter to the Speaker's plan to handle energy deregulation.
"We know that poor women and children don't vote and don't have the resources to contribute to campaigns."
--Kate Brown, the frustrated Senate Minority Leader, on lawmakers' reluctance to restore cuts made to the state's Human Services budget.
give a damn
* Willamette River Cleanup: So far, all that's moved is a bill sponsored by Randy Leonard that would prohibit dumping toxic fill on Ross Island. Expect to exit the 2001 session with no plan to clean up the polluted river.
* Mercury poisoning: A bill has to jump three hurdles before becoming law. It must pass both houses of the Legislature, then get signed by the governor. The proposal to phase out thermometers, thermostats and other products that include mercury made it past the first barrier when it passed out of the House of Representatives two weeks ago on a vote of 55-3. Now, though, it's been referred to a dormant Senate committee, where it will die of neglect unless the. Oregon Environmental Council can nurse it back to life.
* Big money in Oregon politics: The folks at Money in Politics Research Project have put together a list of campaign donors and free-spending lobbyists. Big Tobacco, Big Pharm, Big Labor...they're all there: www.oregonfollowthemoney.org.
* Mental health: Can you imagine your insurance agent storming into the operating room and halting a partially completed surgery because your policy has run out? Bizarre as it sounds, that's what happens in the mental health arena, where insurers cap coverage for psychiatric conditions and drug and alcohol treatment. HB 3017, which would grant "parity" to mental health coverage, is scheduled for a May 22 hearing and work session in the House Health and Public Advocacy Committee at 1:30 pm in Hearing Room D at the State Capitol in Salem.

Lower Extremity Injury Prevention Update: For the Competitive Cheerleader
Cheering is more popular than ever, with more than 500,000 high school girls either cheerleading at sports events or on competitive cheer teams. Unfortunately, it is also more dangerous; cheering accounts for two-thirds of catastrophic injuries among high school female athletes. Cheerleaders, some as young as 6 or 7, are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries. Most of these injuries, especially to the lower extremities, can be prevented.
Presented by the U18 Sports Medicine Rehabilitation staff, local cheerleading coaches are invited to attend an information session on managing and preventing common foot, ankle and knee injuries affecting cheerleaders. Coaches may choose from the 9am session or 11am session.

Ladders damage cars on Interstate 89April 28,2013Vehicles damaged
by ladders on I-89
SHARON — Extension ladders that somehow ended up in the middle of the Interstate 89 northbound lane Friday afternoon damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries, according to Vermont State Police.
Police were called to a section of the divided highway near mile marker 15 just before 5:30 p.m. after two vehicles struck the ladders.
Police didn't say how the items came to be in the roadway, but indicated it may have been unintentional.
While the damage to the two cars was minimal, police said reminded motorists that failing to properly secure items while driving on public highways could result in a ticket and fine of up to $1,191.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

Tribune Chronicle
NEWTON FALLS - The Newton Falls School District said it will appeal to voters on the November ballot after its emergency operating levy failed to pass.
"It's disappointing. We haven't had any new money in 22 years in Newton Falls, and we are currently operating in deficit spending," Superintendent Paul Woodard said. "We will reassess our situation, and I'm sure it will be back on the ballot in November."
The 6.3-mill levy would have generated $774,000 each year for five years. Results tallied late Tuesday showed 38 percent for and 62 percent against, according to incomplete, unofficial results. There are provisional and some mail-in ballots yet to be counted.
Woodard said even if the levy had passed, the district was still looking at $500,000 in additional cuts, citing a $1.2 million loss in state and federal funding.
Fact Box
6.3-mill emergency operating levy
For - 38 percent
Against - 62 percent
The district made $600,000 in cuts last school year, including middle school general music; technology positions; building substitutes; high school / junior high physical education; the French program; and replacing the junior high principal with an assistant principal.
Further action proposed includes numerous position cuts, including high school tutor, educational aides, transportation secretary, teachers, basketball and football assistants, assistant bus mechanic, library aide, Ski Club adviser, custodian, building substitutes and Prep Bowl adviser.
Other proposed cuts include the elementary and middle school art shows and extended days for band and guidance. The loss of seven teaching positions also would result in larger class sizes.
"We don't have a lot of excess trimming that we can take care of there, so we are going to have to go back to the voters and explain it better if we can, and see what happens. We're going to have to do something to get the voters to help us out here," he said.

Who said improved health meant no illness ever? It's a cold. It happens.
I woke up with a sore throat and feel awful. I thought going primal meant I would have better immunity! I am very disappointed. I can only think that drinking over the weekend despite food intake being primal was the culprit. At least this time I won't push it and hit the gym. I plan to relax, drink tea and stay as primal as possible. I am looking forward to some chicken soup that's for sure.
Who said improved health meant no illness ever? It's a cold. It happens.
the rare times i get sick it's mild
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
My terrible blood pressure might be gone with primal eating, but you can bet 3 nights of poor sleep or high stress will bring it back.
In other words: there's more to health than eating primal. Plus if I recall correctly from your posts that you've only been primal for one month? You're being a bit hasty, no?
My boyfriend only had one cold each year since we've been primal, and all his life he got colds every month. But primal results are different depending on the person. We're all different.
Primal clearly failed you forever. Give it up and embrace the bread!
It could be the drinking. Every time I have the slightest amount of chocolate I end up sick. Mostly because it leads to more chocolate but for the most part it wouldn't be any more than what a night of drinking would do.
In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
Go back to bread - ouch, that's harsh!
I enjoy this way of eating and have done well with it so far. My 20% is alcohol and the occasional night out up way later than I should have been. I bet that is what did it. It's "just a cold" for me means I have to take time off work since being in the health industry no one wants to workout with a trainer that is sick. So colds = less money. I think for that, I am entitled to complain. Also, I didn't realize that the longer your doing this meant it was more ingrained in your body, one month might not seem long, but my body already rejects deviations such as too much sugar if I have a treat too big or sweet or anything bread or pasta like.
I'll second that the longer you do this, the better you'll feel. It's about your overall health. Primal won't turn you invinceable. You'll still bleed if cut, bees can still sting you. But overall you'll be on a better path.
Don't know if alcohol per se would be the culprit, but a late night out sounds like you could be pushing yourself too hard after a tough work schedule, lowering immunity. Be judicious and get your sleep, keep eating well, and hope you get over this soon.
joo must be VUHN HUNDRET PERCENT COMPLIANCE!
no but seriously. sleep. you'll be fine in a few days
and if you don't want to get sick again.............
sleep. and wash your hands.
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.

Screen comparison of Sony Xperia Z vs HTC Butterfly shows almost perfect calibration by HTC
0. phoneArena 18 Feb 2013, 05:07 posted on
If you are a screen purist, you will be interested in color calibration, viewing angles and contrast ratings a bit more than whether your mobile screen is HD or Full HD, where, for all practical purposes, the difference is negligible from a normal viewing distance...

I like cold whites. I can't stand any sort of yellow tint.

Sony's TFT is competing with others' IPS or OLED, BRAVO! I'm wondering how exhilarating it will be if Sony is going to use its own OLED or IPS in the very near future.
61. Obie-Wan (Posts: 86; Member since: 24 May 2012)
Sony really need to learn about this. They need to throw all the best for their 'flagship' smartphones line. Its flagship n come with premium price after all, so we customer should get what we deserve.

Hi! My name is Orange
I am Domestic Shorthair from yreka, CA
Nicknames: Orange Davey, O.D., O kitty
Age: 8 years old
Gender: M
Coat: short haired
Education: Orange is the most social cat there ever was - when it comes to other cats, he not only adopted me, he visits all the neighbors too whenever he can! Whats truly shocking is he gets a long with and plays with their cats too!
My favorite tricks and treats are: Orange would do just about anything for a treat! and He loves all things food.
Where I hang out: doesn't matter as long as he curled up next to another cat!
My favorite grubs: Anything and everything!
My pet peeves: He doesn't like his ears touched.
What I love about my owners: She helped me grow my hair back!
My cat hobbies: EAT and play with Davey Jones
Pet motto: There is no such thing as a hopeless case.
See all awards »
I rescued Orange and his two littermates from a 'drug house' literally. They were all in bad shape, all three had ringworm, respiratory infections, worms, ear mites, eye infections etc. Orange was the worst off. He had almost no hair due to the ringworm being so severe! Almost everyone told me it would probably be best to just put him down as his recovery would be so expensive...His two brothers recovered quickly and were able to be adopted out, Orange kept getting sick. It took him almost four months to be completely ringworm free, and then he had to keep going to the vet with severe ear infections, which would jump around from his ears to his throat. He couldn't keep weight on and was very very small for a long time. Eventually he got over all his challenges and today he is a healthy guy although maybe a tad overweight! I never intended to keep him (hence the name Orange) but he decided to keep me and here we are two years later! He loves all other cats, especially his 'brother' Davey Jones. Orange was originally named 'Orange Davey' as he followed Davey Jones around so much he started to think HIS name was Davey! Orange and Davey do everything together and are absolutely hilarious during playtime!

Artist Puts Comic in the Picture
Deaglán de Bréadún
This particular blogger has devoted much time and energy to the fall-out from the Holocaust "joke" from our own Tommy Tiernan. The responses have been fairly dispiriting by and large and have weakened my faith in human nature – at least in its blogospheric manifestation.
Tommy T likes to joke, so let's hope he sees the funny side of an Irish artist portraying him as an Hassidic Jew. For more on this, click here. Incidentally, I believe artist Tom Byrne is mistaken in his belief that TT has apologised. I am not aware that he has done so: when he does, I'll leave him alone.
And while I'm on the subject, it is not every day this Blog has a complimentary remark to make about our current Taoiseach. But full marks to him for attending the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony. His remarks were apposite and the following extract is worth reproducing:
We come together this evening to recall one of the darkest periods of
European history.
We recall in particular the horrors revealed at the extermination camp at
Auschwitz- Birkenau 65 years ago, when the camp was liberated by the Soviet
army on 27 January 1945.
It is estimated that two thirds of European Jews perished in the Holocaust.
Millions of other victims were murdered by the Nazis and their
This ceremony seeks to cherish the memory of all of those who were
persecuted because of their nationality, ethnicity, disability, religious
belief, political affiliations or their sexual orientation. It serves as a
reminder of the dangers of racism and discrimination and provides lessons
from the past that are relevant today. We remember so that future
generations will never ignore history and, in turn, repeat its mistakes.
The Holocaust has left an indelible blemish on the landscape of history. We
in Ireland are very conscious of the need to learn the lessons. The Irish
Government is actively committed to promoting an inclusive society and to
eliminating all forms of racial intolerance in our country.

Columbia Elementary School students were led away from the building after school workers noticed the smell.
It was not immediately clear what caused the smell. The evacuation was ordered as a precaution.

Good stuff, Allen! Way to go for both of you!
Just had a couple of success stories to share. Keep in mind were the typical married couple with children both working full time jobs, and in our middle 30's. This might get a lil long winded.
1. My wife is 35, had always been somewhat active but over the years since her early 20's she had always complained of the figure she had lost. Athlete in high school etc. Marriage, kids, work, life...you know the rest of the story.
While I was deployed in the 1st part of 2013 my wife joined a Crossfit gym since I have a Crossfit background myself and use it sometimes to train. She was going 2-3 days a week, and she did not embrace any type of healthy eating however, and was very sporatic with her goals, and eating. She made some noteable gains in appearance Was very proud of her. The summer went by, and summer was summer. Lots of camping, family stuff etc, not the healthiest summer on record
Mid summer rolled by into the fall and she had still been going to the gym, and maintaining, but not improving her overall figure. I kept hammering home nutrition, but what Wife will listen to a husband when they talk nutrition?? I had been doing this for a long time since 2012 as well.
As the summer wound down I headed back out on a deployment Sept 20th.
The gym had this deal called a "Whole Life Challenge" which operated on a points system within a gym as a way to measure yourself and compete with other members during an 8 week challenge with nutrition and workouts as the guidelines. The guidelines basically mimc'd the Primal BluePrint/Paleo principle. It ran for 8 weeks.......and my wife decided to take a huge step and commit for 8 weeks starting Sept 1st. No portion control, lots of meat, veggies, and minimal sugars. What happened next was insane.
In 8 weeks she lost 31lbs, 3" off her hips, and 2.5" off her waist while doing a dedicated strength program and Crossfit 3-4 days a week!!!
Fitness capacity and strength was also baselined before and after the 8 week mark. She improved her squat/deadlift/bench/press by no less than 25lbs on each of her lower body lifts (squat/dead) and 10lbs on her upper lifts. Her conditioning was also baseline and tested by a 20 min workout for Crossfit of 5 Pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. She initially did 10 rounds during baseline. At the 8 week mark she did 15 round during that 20 min period vs 10 before.
Huge gains....not just weight lost. The nutrition fact is what really shines here since this is the same gym she had been going to before with bad eating, and the nutrition side was adjusted, and the magic happened.
Keep in mind....All of these improvements were done while I am currently deployed 5000 miles away. She also works a fulltime job as a Pediatric nurse, and is essentially a "single" mom due to my deployment.
If this doesnt spell success I dont know what does. She said it has changed her mentally, and physically as well. She looks at everything different.
2. I have been following some sort of primal eating plan in 2011 where my life changed for the better, I havent been perfect, but the intent and about 80% of the time I eat like I should within the Primal Blueprint. I have always cooked for the family like such, and they eat when I cook, but I couldnt control the other 2-3 meals they werent there for during the day. Im an active person, lifter, mountain biker, crossfit etc. At age 35 im in the best shape of my life.
To help her along her Journey I decided to do this challenge with her the past 4 weeks while at my deployed location. It wasnt such a shock for me due my prior lifestyle. I have been able to devote alot more time to training and recovery here than normal. The location I am at actually has decent food so I have been able to control my intake. Over the past 4 weeks I managed to drop 11lbs and I havent even been trying to drop weight. I have a strength background and have made big strides in my main lifts over the past month, and overall physique that have otherwise been very hard in the past. My conditioning has always skyrocketed as well. Win/Win in my book.
Just a couple of success stories from a working family. Thanks again for all the info, and motivation.

MOUNT PLEASANT — Town Council voted unanimously Wednesday to change the town's election from a winner-take-all format to one where the winner would need at least 50 percent of the vote.
Council appears certain to give final approval to the change on Aug. 13, two days before filing opens for the mayor and four Town Council seats.
"We have one more reading," Councilman Chris Nickels said. "It will pass unanimously again."
The change comes after Mayor Billy Swails surprised town officials by announcing that he will not seek a second four-year term this fall. He had attracted only one challenger, former Councilman Joe Bustos, but now the race could include several more.
Swails abstained from the vote, and Councilwoman Linda Page was out of town.
Page, Councilman Ken Glasson, former Councilman Paul Gawrych and lawyer Waring Howe are among those considering a mayoral run.
The city of Charleston also has a system where if no mayoral or council candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote during the initial election, the top two vote-getters face off in a runoff.
Council members also agreed to make the change apply to their own elections, which the town attorney had advised. Nickels said there would not have been a runoff two years ago, when about eight candidates sought one of four at-large seats.
However, he said if there are many more candidates seeking four seats — such as the 19 hopefuls who ran in 2009 — then a runoff would be held among the top five vote getters.

Veteran Hong Kong cyclist Wong Kam Po today confirmed the form that led to his 2012 Asian Road Cycling Championship win in Malaysia last month. Today's second stage covered 112 kilometres (or 118.01 kilometres, or 135 kilometres, depending on the official communication) and included three categorised climbs – but none too challenging for a motivated sprinter.
[Note: as mentioned in yesterday's post, Cycling iQ is no longer on-site in Taiwan. The below report and provided photos have been provided by the Tour de Taiwan organising committee. Spell-checking has been applied, but the report has otherwise been left "as is" – it's more interesting that way!].
"I'm not sure if I'm Asia's most successful cyclist ever", moderated a very humble Wong. "Cycling has developed in Asia only lately. There is still a big gap with Europe. What I have achieved matters less than what's coming up in the next few decades. The best Asian cyclist ever will be the one who will show the best sporting spirit."
When he travelled from Hong Kong to Taiwan to take part in his first stage race of the 2012 season, Wong joked with his teammates. "Keep me covered and unseen for the first three days of racing, I want to wait for my birthday for winning stage 4", he told them. He was obviously happy to have anticipated the time set for celebration. "A large group of riders (48) made the selection in the main hill of the day", he described. "The wind on the sea side after the last climb with 25 km to go made it easier to split the group. We got a 30 seconds lead and the uphill finish suited my sprinting abilities at perfection."
Dirk Muller (Nutrixxion Abus) has raced in Tour de Taiwan at 1993 and 10th in GC. Both Muller and Wong are senior cyclists whose age already beyond 38-years. "The final sprint delivered by Wong I just watched him fly away," said Muller.
"Team Saxo Bank came here to win stages and GC", Miyazawa made clear. "My first job is to work for our sprinters Jonathan [Cantwell] and [Lucas] Sebastian [Haedo] but when I get a chance, I try my luck in a breakaway in order to win a stage. That's how yesterday and today, I ended up at the front and now in the lead. I'm very happy to be in yellow. I don't know how I can go in tomorrow's uphill finish. However, it's the right day to bring good news to Japan. I don't forget what happened exactly one year ago."
Miyazawa was highly emotional when he talked about 311 earthquake, "when the terrible disaster occurred I was trained in Italy, I felt sorry and sorrow for Japanese victims, can't go back to share the sufferings I cried several times." said Miyazawa.
Khalilikhosroshahi Behnam (Tabriz Petrochemical Team) bravely solo ride for almost 50 km, Behnam took 2nd and 3rd KOM points took the polka dot jersey. It is a pity that Beknam cramped after KOM 3 and finally placed 81st.
Feng Chun Kai (Action Cycling Team) kept the green sprinter jersey ranked 10th GC.
Stage 3 (3/12) Taoyuan County race will be played out from Taoyuan County hall around 9:30, they are two sprint points and two CAT1 KOM point. With the peloton completing a course of 142km in total including a CAT1 KOM mountain finish at Kanpanzan. The race is estimated to concluded around 13:30 p.m.
1. Feng Chun Kai (Action Cycling Team) 20pts
2. Miyazawa Takashi (Team Saxo Bank) 8pts
3. Jang Chan Jae (Terengganu Cycling Team) 8pts
1. Khalilikhosroshahi Behnam (Tabriz Petrochemical Team) 9pts
2. Feng Chun Kai (Action Cycling Team) 8pts
3. Othman Muhamid Adiq (Champion System Pro Cycling Team) 4pts

like their marine relatives, prefer colder waters and therefore are restricted to the deeper waters of Lake Erie during
the summer months. They move to shallower waters after fall cool-down to eventually spawn during the winter. Their
young seem to tolerate warmer water as they can be found in the near-shore shallows around and under rocks and bedrock
shelving during their entire first year.
In Pennsylvania, burbot are not unique to Lake Erie, where they are considered abundant. Their maximum length is
somewhat longer than 30 inches and the Lake Erie burbot population should continue to prosper in the future. Regulations
for Lake Erie are listed within our Fishing Summary Books.
Elsewhere in the state their populations are considered poorly established and the burbot is considered a endangered
species, not to be caught or possessed.

The lawyer for one of the men facing charges in connection with the Lac-Megantic train disaster says the way his client was arrested was completely over the top.
Thomas Walsh says members of the SWAT team stormed into Thomas Harding's house on Monday as though he was a heavily armed Hells Angel.
Walsh says he told Crown prosecutors several times that Harding was willing to appear in court voluntarily if they ever decided to charge him.
Harding was the driver of the train that derailed last July, sparking explosions that killed 47 people.
He and two other men are to be arraigned in Lac-Megantic this afternoon on 47 charges of criminal negligence causing death.
As well as arresting Harding, Jean Demaitre and Richard Labrie, the Crown has announced that Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd. — the railway at the heart of the accident — is facing the same charges.

Church is a pillar, should not change
The March 10 article, "Do Catholics care who fills Peter's chair?" suggests that the Catholic Church might like to modernize in order to keep pace with contemporary society. That is exactly what the church must not do. Are we to build our houses on sand or on solid ground? It is imperative that one pillar of strength remains, one signpost pointing toward the goodness and truth and beauty that does not change.
Some people opine that the church's position on sex is entirely backward for 2013. But we can dig deeper; what does it really mean to love? A sexuality based on lust and consumption will do everything to deplete and destroy humanity. Sexuality causes society to exist, and for this reason it affects society from the roots on up. The church teaches that sex should be a committed, lifelong and loving gift of oneself to another person – a giving and receiving that is always open to new life.
The church will undoubtedly undergo change in the years to come. These changes need to be a perfecting of what it means to be Catholic; we cannot remove the Catholicism. I'm 26 years of age. Mainstream American culture has left my generation empty and hungry. We want something more. That is why you can expect more orthodoxy from us – a generous orthodoxy rooted in faith, hope and love.

One of the best things about the Super Bowl – aside from being surrounded by food, family, and friends – are the commercials. Long after the game ends, favorite – or least favorite – Super Bowl commercials are talked about for weeks, and watched over and over again on YouTube. This year, however, the build-up and surprise of the best-and-worst comercials may be slightly watered down, as brands advertising during the contest are using social media to gain attention and fans before the game.
Beginning immediately, Mercedes-Benz is offering a competition that will award a car to two people who can garner the most Facebook "likes", tweets on Twitter, and other forms of social media attention. The first step is to "like" the Mercedes-Benz page on Facebook. In case you don't win a Benz, Audi is also offering a chance at trips and other prizes if you follow the brand before the big game on Facebook. The most active social media fans of Audi will be noted as "Inner Circle" fans of Audi, and during Audi's commercial be prompted to compete for these prizes.
The car-makers are not the only ones who will be utilizing social media to draw attention to their brand before the Super Bowl in 2011; it is expected that most marketers will have some sort of Facebook or Twitter tie-in. The problem with this is that consumers will become overwhelmed with requests to "like" brands, and the shock and surprise value of a Super Bowl commercial for a brand that a consumer has otherwise not heard about in a few weeks or months is no longer effective. Brands also loose the ability to stand out if every other brand uses a social media component; and those that don't are really left in the dust.
Will you particpate in the pre-game social media contests for brands advertising during the Super Bowl? Or will you stick with tradition and just enjoy the commercials?

The Nissan GT-R, Toyota Prius and Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid are a few of the more aerodynamic cars available today based on their coefficient of drag. We hesitate to say they are the "most aerodynamic" because we don't have drag coefficients for every new car out there.
Coefficient of drag (Cd) is the most common term to describe vehicle aerodynamics and is a measurement of how well air flows around a vehicle. A lower number, such as 0.28, indicates that the engine doesn't have to work as hard to maintain a certain speed as a vehicle with a Cd of 0.38, potentially reducing fuel consumption.
Drag coefficient is one measurement of a vehicle's ability to slice through the air, and it does not take into account the size of the vehicle's frontal area, which also affects aerodynamic drag. It also is a number that can be manipulated by an exterior nip here and a tuck there. For that reason, some automakers avoid releasing a coefficient of drag for some or all models because they fear they will get blown away by rivals bent on claiming a more slippery shape.
The Audi A6 sedan and Nissan GT-R sports car are among the more aerodynamic cars with a drag coefficient of 0.26, but the Toyota Prius hybrid is a hair better at 0.25. Nissan's goal with the GT-R's styling was to maximize speed, and Toyota's was to maximize the fuel economy of the Prius, so they reached similar goals for different reasons.
Among other cars with low Cds are the Ford Fusion, Lexus LS 600h and ES 350, Mercedes S400 Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid, all of which are rated at 0.27 by their manufacturers. In comparison, the Nissan Leaf electric car has a 0.28 and the Ford Focus SFE 0.295.
You can find other aero cars by diving deep into the specification charts for individual models in the Cars.com Research section. Most cars these days come much closer to 0.30 than 0.40 (even the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV is 0.36), so you aren't going to find many four-wheel bricks among 2013 cars.
Though aerodynamics play a role in fuel economy, vehicle weight, the size and efficiency of the engine, tires and other factors are important, as well, so a low Cd doesn't guarantee high gas mileage, as the GT-R illustrates with its EPA ratings of 16/23 mpg city/highway. A more aerodynamic shape may do more to increase a vehicle's visual appeal than its fuel economy.

|Some Questions and Answers about Back onTrack
What is Back on Track?
Back on Track provides information and professional guidance to people who have operated a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The program was created in 1998 to help people learn to separate drinking and other drug use from driving.
Do I need to take Back on Track?
You need to take Back on Track if one of the following applies to you:
You have had a warn range suspension of your drivers licence more than once in a five-year period. A warn range suspension is for drivers who are found to have a blood alcohol content ranging from .05 to .08 per cent.
You were convicted of an impaired driving offence and you wish to have your drivers licence reinstated when the suspension period ends. This includes first-time offenders who qualify for the Reduced Suspension with Ignition Interlock Conduct Review Program. Impaired driving offences include:
When should I register?
Register as soon as possible to avoid delays in getting your licence back or a further licence suspension. Early registration is especially important for first-time offenders who wish to qualify for a reduced suspension.
What does taking Back on Track involve?
Back on Track has three parts: the assessment, the education or treatment workshop and the six-month follow-up. What parts you need to take depends on why you are required to take Back on Track:
If you are eligible for the reduced suspension program, you must complete the assessment prior to early licence reinstatement.
1. Assessment
The assessment takes about one hour and determines whether you need to take the education workshop or the treatment workshop.
2. One DAY EDUCATION WORKSHOP OR TWO DAYS TREATMENT WORKSHOP
Education workshop
Topics covered in this eight-hour workshop include:
the myths and facts about alcohol and other drugs
how alcohol and other drugs affect driving performance and safety
the legal and personal consequences of an impaired driving offence
ways to separate drinking and other drug use from driving.
Treatment Workshop
This 16-hour workshop covers the same topics as the education workshop and also looks at:
why people drink or use other drugs, and how it affects our lives
ways to cut down or stop your alcohol or other drug use
strategies and skills to manage stress, anger, communication and leisure
3. six-month follow-up
The follow-up interview can only be done six months after you complete the education or treatment workshop.
Where do I go for Back on Track?
Local providers deliver the program in various locations in Ontario. A list of providers will be sent to you once your registration has been processed.
How will I get to Back on Track?
It's up to you to find a way to get to the program. Most people take public transit or a taxi, or ask someone to drive them.
What if I don't speak or understand English or French well?
The Back on Track program is offered in English, and is also available in French in some areas. Program materials are available in English or French.
If you have difficulty reading or speaking English or French, please note this on your registration form. You will need to bring a translator or interpreter to the program. This person must be 18 years of age or older.
What if I have difficulty hearing or reading or have other special needs?
If you have any special needs that may make it difficult for you to participate in the program, please note them on your registration form.
What do I need to do to pass?
To pass the program, you must meet the following requirements:
Don't use alcohol, or drugs not prescribed by your doctor, for 24 hours before taking the program or while attending the program.
Dont use prescribed drugs that impair your ability to participate in the program.
Attend all scheduled program components and arrive on time.
Actively participate in the program.
Show that you have learned how to separate drinking and other drug use from driving.
Treat other participants and staff with respect.
Complete the required parts of the program.
If you fail the program for any of the above reasons, you will have to repeat all the steps, starting with registration and payment, and including repeating the required parts of the program. This could delay getting your licence back.
How much does Back on Track cost?
For an impaired driving conviction, the fee is $634. For a warn range suspension, the fee is $294.
How long does it take to complete Back on Track?
The time it takes to complete Back on Track depends partly on why you need to take it, and partly on you. The fastest way to get through the program is to register on-line www.remedial.net and book each required part as soon as possible. It is your responsibility to schedule each part of the program with your local Back on Track provider.
Once you are registered, completing Back on Track can take:
up to 90 days for a warn range suspension
up to 11 months for an impaired driving conviction.
First-time offenders who qualify for a reduced suspension need only complete the assessment part of Back on Track within their suspension period(3 or 6 months); however, they must go on to complete the education or treatment and the follow-up part of the program.
What happens if I do not take Back on Track?
If you have a warn range suspension your licence will be suspended until you complete the program. You have 120 days from the start of your warn range suspension period to complete the education workshop and 180 days to complete the treatment workshop.
If you have been convicted of impaired driving your licence will remain suspended. If you are a participant in the reduced suspension program you will be unable to exit the program and your ignition interlock period will continue.

ISRO: No Manned Mission to Moon
By Express News Service - BANGALORE
Published: 01st January 2014 08:22 AM
Last Updated: 01st January 2014 08:22 AM
India's quest for a manned mission to the moon will have to wait a few more years as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has clarified that there are no such plans in the near future.
Last week, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed by ISRO with the Institute of Aerospace Medicine was widely reported as the precursor to the selection of astronauts for a manned moon mission. ISRO ruled this out and said that the MoU did not 'envisage recruitment of crew for ISRO'.
"The MoU has been signed to carry out basic research/studies on human physiological and psychological requirements for human space flight crew and for augmenting/updating existing facilities at IAM to cater to ISRO's human space flight program as a pre project research and development activity," said an ISRO spokesperson in a statement.
The human space flight programme according to ISRO, is limited to sending a crew of two astronauts to a low earth orbit and returning them safely to a set destination on earth. ISRO, however, has set itself a target of 2017 for achieving this mission. As part of the prerequisites, the space agency will first have to prove that the Geo Synchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV) platform can be used for the launch. The pre-project research is being carried out with `150 crore and the project is not even part of the 12th five-year plan that ends in 2017.
It may be noted that a manned mission to the moon was the pet project of former ISRO chief G Madhavan Nair who had repeatedly said ISRO would attempt putting an Indian on the moon by 2020. A manned mission to the moon was first announced by ISRO in 1999. In 2004, Madhavan Nair revived interest in the project and said ISRO would 'rethink' its plans.

Ten months after being charged with one count of mail fraud, a Mandeville accountant was charged Thursday with 45 counts of wire fraud in a scheme to steal more than $170,000 from an oil consulting firm.
Anthony Tulli, 54, a former certified public accountant and owner of the Mandeville-based bookkeeping business, "Two Dagos in Heat," originally was charged with with mail fraud after he allegedly devised a scheme to defraud a north shore salon out of more than $40,000 over a period of six years.
According to U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office, Tulli was handling weekly payroll and tax invoices and was issuing payroll checks to the salon's employees with federal and state taxes, Social Security and Medicare being withheld. But he did not submit the majority of the legal withholdings and was stealing the money instead, federal authorities alleged.
Thursday's superceding indictment realleges the charge against Tulli from April and adds 45 counts of wire fraud, which claims Tulli stole more than $170,000 from an unnamed north shore oil consulting business.
In these charges, Letten's office alleges that Tulli, who was contracted to perform payroll services for the oil consulting business, fraudulently overstated the amount of state and federal unemployment taxes and Social Security withholdings in bi-weekly billings to the company and keeping the difference for himself. Tulli "caused data to be transmitted via email which he used to prepare the fraudulently inflated invoices," the U.S. Attorney's Office said Thursday.
If convicted, Tulli faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count, millions of dollars in fines, and he could be ordered to pay restitution to both businesses.
The alleged charges were uncovered by the Internal Revenue Service, and the case will be prosecuted by U.S. Attorney Carter K. D. Guice Jr., a member of the financial crime unit.Jim Derry can be reached at email@example.com or 985.898.4816.

(Reuters) - Neighbors of George Zimmerman say he had bandages on his nose and head the day after he shot dead Trayvon Martin, supporting statements by the neighborhood watch volunteer that he was beaten in a confrontation with the black Florida teenager. The extent of Zimmerman's injuries could be crucial to his legal defense under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law, which allows the use of deadly force when someone has the reasonable belief he could face death or great bodily harm.Police said Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the racially charged case, was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head and was treated by medics before being taken to Sanford police station after the February 26 shooting.But public doubts were later raised by the release of a grainy surveillance video from the police station in which no injuries were readily visible.Zimmerman later sought medical treatment for injuries including a broken nose, his former lawyers have said.Jorge Rodriguez, Zimmerman's next-door neighbor, told Reuters that when he saw Zimmerman the day after the incident, "he had two big, butterfly bandages on the back of his head, and another big bandage...on the bridge of his nose." He was talking to a police detective in his driveway.Rodriguez's wife Audria also said she saw the bandages and a third neighbor, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, agreed with the Rodriguez couple's account. "I saw two bandages on the back of his head, and his nose was all swollen up," said the witness, who had watched from a nearby second-floor window.The neighbors spoke to Reuters on Sunday and Monday, saying they felt they owed him their public support after he was charged with second-degree murder.Zimmerman, 28, was originally released after the shooting, when Sanford police accepted his claim of self-defense. He was arrested and charged by a special prosecutor last week after demonstrations around the country at which the police were accused of failing to properly investigate the death of the black 17-year-old.
Good post, but you do know the progressive/liberal/democrats thrive on their racism claims against anyone but themselves that is.

The Princeton University Orchestra and the Princeton Glee Club come together this weekend for two concerts strong on contrasts.
The orchestra and chorus will perform Maurice Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe" and Francis Poulenc's "Gloria." The concerts will take place tonight and tomorrow at Richardson Auditorium, in Alexander Hall, on the campus of Princeton University.
There is unity in the fact that both halves of the program consist of French masterpieces, and that both of them employ chorus and orchestra. Both pieces make a strong impact on listeners in their own respective ways, and both composers were considered radical for their time, but affinities end there.
Maurice Ravel was the meticulous purveyor of Impressionism, whose finely crafted works mirrored his calculated dandyism and fascination with intricate toys.
Francis Poulenc was one of the most successful of the group known as "Les Six," an at times irreverent collective that rose to prominence in Paris in the 1920s, as a reaction in part to the Impressionism embodied by Ravel.
Impressionism was a term used by critics to denote a kind of atmospheric music that unfolds as a sort of dreamy meditation, as opposed to following any strict tonal scheme. The style developed in the last quarter of the 19th century, and acted as a bridge (one of many) from Romanticism to Modernism. Claude Debussy, to whose works "Impressionist" was first applied in music (as opposed to in painting, for which the term was coined), loathed the description, calling the critics "imbeciles."
"Daphnis and Chloe" takes its inspiration from the unabashedly pagan romance of the Greek writer Longus, who lived in the second century A.D. The story is set on the isle of Lesbos and features shepherds, shepherdesses, pirates and even an appearance by the great god Pan.
Ravel's musical adaptation was originally written for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes between 1909 and 1912. It was choreographed by Michel Fokine. The work has been described as a choreographic symphony. It's only appropriate, then, that the music has taken on a life of its own in the concert hall, its opulent harmonies and lush atmosphere providing a colorful showcase for symphony orchestra and chorus. At nearly an hour in length, it is Ravel's longest score.
By comparison, Poulenc's "Gloria" is a trim 25 minutes. Yet in that time, it manages to cover a lot of ground, its Roman Catholic piety leavened with passages of giddy ebullience. There's no questioning the composer's spiritual conviction: By 1961, the year of the work's premiere, Poulenc had amassed a considerable body of liturgical music and music on religious themes (including his opera, "The Dialogues of the Carmelites").
Yet he never wholly abandoned the heel-kicking joie de vivre of his early years in "Les Six." Poulenc's easy melodies and breezy wistfulness were distilled from the kind of music he encountered in the cafes, music halls and circuses of Paris, a uniquely Gallic aesthetic formulated in part to sweep what was perceived as Teutonic stodginess from France's concert halls.
Gabriel Crouch, Princeton University senior lecture and director of choirs, has prepared the chorus for both works on tonight's concert. He will also conduct the performance of Poulenc's "Gloria."
Crouch says of the piece, "As with so many of his works, particularly his post-war music, the 'Gloria' balances the two sides of Poulenc's personality — 'part monk, part clown,' as Claude Rostand said."
Rostand, the French critic and musicologist, published interviews with Poulenc and his "Les Six" colleague Darius Milhaud.
Crouch continues, "Poulenc famously declared that when he wrote the piece, he was picturing some frescoes he had seen where the angels stuck out their tongues, and remembering the childhood sight of Benedictine monks enjoying a game of football."
This antic spirit is most evident in the composer's jaunty setting of "Laudamus te" ("We Praise Thee"), which forms the work's second movement.
"He juxtaposes these two moods to great effect, placing the most furiously agitated sections next to the most becalmed," says Crouch, "and all delivered with those trademark Poulenc qualities — sincerity, humanity and a wicked sense of humor."
Crouch, a baritone himself, is a former member of the acclaimed King's Singers.
Sarah Pelletier will sing the soprano solo in the "Gloria." Pelletier made her recital debut as a finalist in the 1999 Poulenc Centennial Competition. She has appeared in opera, oratorio, orchestra concerts and vocal recitals, and has sung at prominent music festivals both at home and abroad.
Locally, she sang Johanna in the Princeton Festival's inaugural production of "Sweeney Todd" in 2005. She has also been a part of the festival's choral workshops. She is on the vocal performing faculty at Princeton University and associate director of the Princeton High School Choir.
Michael Pratt has directed the Princeton University Orchestra since 1977. Over the years, he has presided over the expansion of the ensemble and an increase in the ability of its players. The ensemble has tackled some of the most daunting music in the repertoire, including a number of the Mahler symphonies, Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," and even a concert performance of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde."
Of this weekend's performances of "Daphnis," Pratt says, "There will be close to 200 of these extraordinarily gifted students performing together, producing some of the most magical sounds in the repertoire.
"The choir is going to be in the balcony, because there just isn't room onstage. The sounds that are going to fill Richardson, it's going to be unlike anything anyone has ever heard in that hall. It's going to be plain 'out of heaven.'"
This is the first time the Glee Club has sung with the Princeton University Orchestra in 10 years.
"I've done it before without the choir, says Pratt, "but it wasn't satisfying. It's a piece I've always wanted to do, so I talked to Gabriel, and I asked what he suggested as a companion piece, and he recommended the 'Gloria.'"
Made up of undergraduate and graduate student musicians, the Princeton University Orchestra has been in existence for 117 years. That's as long as many of America's great orchestras. In fact, the seed money for the orchestra — and indeed the Princeton music program — was provided by members of the New York Symphony and Philharmonic Societies, who donated the proceeds from a series of concerts they gave at Alexander Hall in 1896.
The orchestra plays eight to 10 concerts a year on campus, with additional appearances on tour. Works by graduate student composers and noted composers on the Princeton faculty regularly feature as part of the Princeton University Orchestra season.
