sounds like a HOME away from home
By Mark Cadigan
Classrooms, which also serve as practice rooms,
teachers' offices, and the music library are all located in the John E. Brooks,
S.J., Center for Music, so music majors spend a great deal of time there.
The Department is especially proud of Brooks Concert Hall, which offers a
beautiful, acoustically excellent space for attending and participating
in concerts, and is equipped with a professional caliber recording studio.
concerts were presented in Brooks Concert Hall in 1996-97.
But listing the rooms in the Brooks Center
does not suffice to explain what attracts the music majors to spend so much
time in the building. They congregate there for so many hours
because they enjoy the atmosphere of the Music Department, the interactions
among students, teachers and staff.
And the students are often still in the building
at night. "Sometimes I go in there in the evening to pick up something from
my office and I'm always astounded at the number of them that are there," continues
"I think this is a unique place, says Associate Professor
Osvaldo Golijov. I can say that I feel blessed here by the collegial support,
the friendship, the commitment to serious work but in a very nice atmosphere.
And I think that that's what the students feel. That's why they are here all
the time."
Comments from a couple of music majors support their
professors' views. Maria Purciello '98 considers the music faculty's dedication
"I've never come across a department quite like the
Music Department, in the sense that professors and students all get along very
well, both inside and outside of the classroom," she says. "All the professors
on this campus are approachable, but none quite so much as the Music Department. They'll
go out of their way to make time for you."
Purciello points to a recent occurrence as being
indicative of the generosity within the department. She had a problem trying
to schedule an entrance exam for one of the graduate schools she applied to
and needed a professor to give the 5 1/2 hour exam during Christmas break. "I
had three professors volunteer to give up a day of their life to administer
this test," she says.
Like Purciello, Dan DiCenso '98 studies musicology, has applied to graduate
schools, and hopes to eventually earn his Ph.D. and teach at the college
level. He believes the Music Department combines heartfelt concern with commendable
academic and professional credentials.
"Holy Cross has excellent professors who are the masters, the authorities in
their fields," he notes. "And a lot of schools have that; they have people who
are masters. But we have genuine, honest-to-God, caring, good people here who
watch out for their students, who nurture their students and who have a true
interest not only in doing their scholarship or playing the piano or performing
on the organ, but in teaching their students. It's kind of an unsaid philosophy
here: to whom much has been given, much is expected. It seems to me that the
professors here have been given a lot and they realize that and they give a lot
back. They give freely and liberally of their time, their attention and they
really take care of you."
The Music Department includes five tenured or tenure-track professors: Associate
Professor Carol Lieberman (currently Acting Chair while Korde is on a yearlong
sabbatical), Assistant Professor Geoffrey Burleson, Assistant Professor Jessica
Waldoff, plus Korde and Golijov.
"The caliber of the faculty is extremely high," notes
Lieberman, and the cumulative experience of the members of the department confirms
her statement.
Korde, who began teaching music at Holy Cross in
1977, has composed works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, electronic
media and music theatre. He has received numerous grants and awards for his
compositions, which have been recorded for labels such as Spectrum and Neuma,
and have been featured at festivals and concerts throughout the U.S., Europe,
Australia and South America.
Lieberman, a faculty member since 1985, is a violinist who is particularly
accomplished in music from the baroque and classical eras as well as the 19th
and 20th centuries. She has made several recordings, including a world premiere
album of sonatas of Simon
LeDuc and C. P. E. Bach, and has toured throughout North and South America
and Europe. She has been concerto soloist with the Boston Pops Orchestra,
Handel & Haydn Society and other orchestras
in Europe and Canada.
Golijov joined the Music Department in 1991, prior to receiving first prize at
the Kennedy Center's Friedheim Awards competition for a chamber music composition
in both 1993 and 1995. Among
his many other awards and prizes is the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship
in Music Composition, which he was granted in 1995. He has been commissioned
to compose pieces by cities, music festivals and ensembles such as the Kronos
Quartet, and many of his works have been recorded.
Burleson started teaching in the Music Department part-time in 1991 and full-time
in 1992. Winner of Special Commendations in the 1995 Vienna Modern Masters International
Performers' Competition, he performs a broad repertoire of works from the romantic,
classical and baroque periods. He is especially noted for his interpretations
of 20th century music, and has made solo and duo recordings for Vienna Modern
Music & Arts, CRI and Neuma. He has performed as solo pianist, and with chamber
music groups throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Waldoff came to the Music Department in 1995, just a few months after earning
her Ph.D. from Cornell University. A musicologist, she has received a number
of fellowships, grants and awards for her writing, research and teaching. Among
her published works are several about opera,
including "The Music of Recognition: Operatic Enlightenment in The Magic
Flute" (Music & Letters, 1994).
Along with this core group of professors are many lecturers, instructors and
others involved with the department in
some capacity, a group that Burleson calls, "extremely essential and wonderfully
talented and giving people." These include: James David Christie, Distinguished
Artist in Residence, College Organist and director of the Schola Cantorum, a
Holy Cross liturgical choir; Nym Cooke, lecturer in musicology; Katarina Miljkovic,
lecturer and composer; Mike Monaghan, lecturer in jazz and director of the Jazz
Ensemble and Jazz Combo; Frances Flannery, lecturer in the electronic music studio;
Alan Karass, music librarian; Bruce I. Miller, director of the College Choir
and Chamber Singers; Peter L. Cokkinias, conductor of the Chamber Orchestra and
Brass Ensemble; and Robert A. Principe, director of the Holy Cross Crusader Marching
Band, Color Guard and Pep
Instrumental and vocal instructors include: Joel Cohen, cello; Jean DeMart, flute;
John Emery, violin and viola; Marian C. Hanshaw, piano; Jane Harrison, oboe;
Hugh Hinton, piano; Bruce Hopkins, trumpet; Robert Schulz, percussion; Robert
Sullivan, guitar; Maria Tegzes,
voice; and Marsha Vleck, voice.
As Lieberman says, "Our adjunct faculty who come to teach lessons each week,
are all noted soloists."
The faculty's wealth of professional and academic experience and varied approaches
to teaching result in a special kind of
Music Department, according to Waldoff. "We each ask the students to do different
kinds of assignments and we emphasize different aspects of music. The students
welcome these varying approaches, and can bring some skills
from one person's class to another's," she says. "The challenge for them is to
put those pieces together."
Students have the opportunity to take a wide range of courses in the Music Department.
Music majors are required to take at least ten courses in the department, including
four semesters of the Theory of Music, two of the History of Western Music and
a fourth-year
Senior Seminar which integrates History, Theory and Performance. The department
also offers Music & Theatre, American Popular Song, Music of the Medieval/Renaissance
Era, Music of the Classical Era, Music of the Baroque Era, Introduction to Electronic
Music (using the department's computer music studio), Music of Latin America,
Music of India, Music of Japan, Jazz Improvisation, Special Topics courses, various
advanced Tutorials
and many more.
During the 1996-97 academic year, Balinese Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence I Nyoman
Cerita and his family introduced Holy Cross students to gamelan music in two
consecutive Special Topics
courses. Participating students performed concerts at Holy Cross, the Worcester
Public Schools and Brown University.
"I think for the size of the College and for the
size of the department, we have a very eclectic mix," notes Lieberman, who
also mentions the variety of performing ensembles that students can join. These
include student-run ensembles such as the Naturals, an all-male a cappella
group, and the Delilahs, an all-female a cappella group.
In addition to having the opportunity to join ensembles that perform many styles
of music, including jazz and classical, students can also hear their
teachers, perform on campus together with professional guest artists in faculty
ensembles such as the Holy Cross Chamber Players, co-directed by Lieberman
and Korde. There are many other concerts given by professionals from outside
the College.
"I think the idea is to create a thriving musical community at Holy Cross, one
that has different stylistic and aesthetic concerns, so that students would participate
in these different activities," says Korde. "We believe that they really learn
the most by actually doing music, by playing or singing. There's no substitute
for that."
Just as the students hold their teachers in high regard, members of the music
faculty express equally positive feelings about their students.
"You can see the incredible progress that they make
as human beings from the first year to the fourth year, which
is great," says Golijov.
"The students here are of such a high quality, and they have a refreshingly positive
attitude and outlook," says Burleson. "These students are very catalytic and
"I think the Holy Cross students are really willing to respond to some of the
bigger questions," says Waldoff, though
she adds, "sometimes I get into trouble with it." When one student reacts to
an exam question about Beethoven's late style by asking how long he or she should
take to answer it, Waldoff replies, "Well, ideally, the rest
of your life," which elicits widespread laughter in the classroom.
Monaghan, who began teaching at Holy Cross in 1986, plays saxophone with the
Boston Pops, and has performed with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin
and many more, says, "These are exceptional
students." He also uses humor to build a rapport with them. When a student who
has to leave his Jazz Improvisation I class a little early gets up to go, Monaghan
slyly quips to the remaining students, "I'll tell you the secret of jazz in about
five minutes." The exiting student replies, "Somebody,
take notes."
The Music Department has grown dramatically since its birth, aided immeasurably
by Father Brooks and the College's administration. It began as a division within
the Visual Arts Department before becoming a separate department in 1979. The
late Suzanna Waldbauer,
an Associate Professor, chaired the Music
Department from its inception until the Fall of 1984, when Korde became Chair.
A departmental major was created in 1982, and the number of majors has increased
markedly since then.
"That growth has been really very impressive
in the last five or six years," says Korde. "I keep thinking that this must be
the peak but it hasn't peaked yet."
There is substantial interest in the department by non-majors, too. Approximately
25% of the student body participates in music course offerings and performing
organizations offered annually
by the department. In 1996-97, 562 students took courses in the department.
Though there is a distribution requirement for an arts course that prompts some
students to choose a music class, Lieberman believes students enroll in music
courses for several reasons.
"Many students really enjoy music and have had some
training; they want to continue their studies," she says. "I think it is a
part of one's life as an educated person and a lot of students realize that.
And we are also a welcoming department. A lot of students taking lessons here
decide to take music courses, join an ensemble and then they are inspired to
take additional courses."
While the Music Department does not offer a degree in Performance, music majors
are encouraged to perform often during their four years here. As Monaghan points
out, "It's absolutely a part of the liberal arts concept here at school that
if you're a musician, you have a chance to experience and learn here, even
if you don't have any intention of going out to be a professional player." He
adds, " If you're a music major this school gives a tremendous foundation to
enable you to go on to graduate school."
Members of the music faculty are convinced that the three-year-old Brooks Scholarship,
a full tuition, four-year music scholarship initiated by the President Emeritus
for whom it is named, has strengthened the quality of music majors entering
the college - and not just by the one student who receives the scholarship. "It
has a much wider ripple effect than you might think," asserts Korde.
The significant renovations to the facility in 1993, which included the renovation
of Fenwick Chapel into Brooks Concert Hall, the addition of a professional
quality recording studio able to capture live performances, and new offices
on the fourth floor have had a positive impact. But even prior to the structural
undertaking, the Music Department had much to be proud of in terms of tangible
objects, including the Taylor-Boody, four-manual, tracker action baroque organ
installed in St. Joseph Memorial Chapel, a two-manual French harpsichord by
William Dowd of Cambridge, and extensive library holdings. The Music Library
boasts a collection of more than 12,000 books and musical scores, 11,000 sound
recordings and 600 video recordings. It is also fully equipped with personal
computers, CD players, tape players, video stations, laser disc players, and
phonographs. Music Librarian Alan Karass offers formal bibliographic
instruction to music classes, and is available on a one-on-one basis to students
who need help locating source material for papers. He is the newsletter editor
of the New England Music Library Association, chair of its Membership Committee,
and serves on several local library advisory committees.
If the number of music majors continues to increase, the department's faculty
and facility will be stretched even more than it is already. Nevertheless,
the faculty members want to retain the special spirit of the department, what
Monaghan refers to as, "a very warm, cooperative environment."
"There is this great deal of individual attention and individual interaction
in the department," Burleson says. "Part of the reason we can offer that is the
department is still small, although it's growing exponentially to the point that
we're challenged. But it's a challenge that we welcome."

Once the hot African morning of 1908, there lived a certain light on Zakaris left. He served on the narrow gauge railway worker linking Windhoek and Luderitz, and so would have existed himself happily, if not his passion for a relaxing morning stroll.
So, walking along entrusted to his care railways, Hon ger Levan dreamed of cold beer, idly picking sand toe, when in fact the sand gleamed something suspicious. "Cool glass" - thought ingenuous Zakaris, put it in his pocket, and the same evening boasted a gimmick before his foreman Shtauhom Augustus.
Mum August Shtauha should I tell you, fools do not give birth - to work in his time in Kimberley foreman quickly recognized in a glass diamond. Without attracting undue attention, smart Shtauh rushed to stake a large tract along the narrow saddle in the Dolomite mountain range near Luderitz. On this unique corridor of wind carries the sand adjacent to the mouth of the Orange southern Namib desert further north. It was there, realized the clever foreman, small diamonds, handed down the river to the ocean, and then thrown away by the surf on the shore, carried along with the sand. In a few years, August Shtauh became a multimillionaire.
While all oceanfront Namibia belong to Germany, so the newborn epicenter diamond fever was built in the German style, with Germany's thoroughness. Africa's not resemble anything but sand and heat. In a prospecting town Kolmanskope opened hospitals, power plants, a ballroom, a theater, a casino, and room for a game of bowling.
In Kolmanskop from around the world pulled hundreds obsessed slight enrichment - in fact in this desolate corner of the diamond was so much that the workers were crawling on his stomach and easily raked them with a brush in a scoop. Luck Hunters coming and coming, the population had reached 1,100 (300 masters and 800 German contract workers).
Quench your thirst for champagne and a product of the local lemonade shop, hunger - Food own abattoirs and bakeries. Earned a furniture factory and the first in Africa tram. Owners Kolmanskopa bathed in luxury and bliss, like being in an earthly paradise.
Union of South Africa not long envied German sybarite, and then, having decided to take the situation under control, attacked Namibia. The operation was successful, and his fateful Kolmanskop sands came to power JUAS and De Beers, with its slogan "Diamonds are forever". However, it soon appeared that fate can not only present, but also take away gifts - perhaps something immigrants hurt local deities, or perhaps just born under an unlucky star.
The fun ended abruptly in 1918, the year: people Kolmanskopa, crawling on his knees, pereseyali all the sand in the area, and the deeper sand, clay, diamond was found - they just ran out along with poker and mazurka. It turned out that to live in this town hard, and no reason: not only that constant sandstorms, so also the lack of drinking water. And in ten years after the mass exodus of people - in 1918, most people had left Kolmanskop and moved south to the Orange River, where he opened a fresh field of their favorite stones.
Since Kolmanskop is amazing and a ghost town in the middle of a sandy desert. Today of past glory Kolmanskopa little like - in the once posh homes live sand and the wind howled. In 1980, the local diamond Trust little huts patched here and there threw a particularly brazen dunes and named Kolmanskop open-air museum.
Being in the Sperrgebiet - closed to the public and heavily guarded area, owned by De Beers - Kolmanskop is sensitive sites: To get to it you have to buy a special permit in nearby Luderitz. For all other wicket in the very gritty city on Earth is locked territory patrolled evil guys with guns, and somewhere close so far extracted famous Namibian diamonds. Well, there is now the tram will not wait.

This web site is about one branch of the Reddicliffe family in Australia. The family has been in Australia for over 150 years (I am the 7th generation) but our lineage can be traced back to England.
Rumor has it that my ancestor had to leave England for a small indiscression so jumped onto a ship destined for the new colony before the authorities of the time could catchup to him. After arriving in Australia, he took up mining and ended up in far north Queensland, where the family grew until they moved into Cairns from Petford. I still hear the stories from my father about having dirt floors, and going out to catching bandicoots and selling them to the rail workers.

Aged care homes could become ''reservoirs'' for super bugs unless over-prescription of antibiotics is curbed, according to the results of a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia.
The findings of the study will be published today along with a call for the establishment of a new organisation to manage the threat of antibiotic-resistant super bugs and an Australian Centre for Disease Control.
A study conducted at four Melbourne residential aged care facilities found more than two thirds of suspected infections that were treated with antibiotics did not meet the full criteria for clinical infection.
The researchers, led by Anton Peleg and David Kong, of Monash University, wrote that the emergence of multi-resistant ''super bug'' organisms in residential aged care facilities could result in the homes becoming, ''a reservoir for multiresistant organisms''.
In the same issue of the journal, three executive members of the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases warned that Australia must be prepared for inevitable future epidemics and that antibiotic resistance was a looming issue for infectious disease management. The authors were the Sydney physician and microbiologist Thomas Gottlieb, Professor Bart Currie of the Menzies School of Health in Darwin and Brisbane physician and clinical microbiologist David Looke.
They wrote that a spiral of increasing broad-spectrum antibiotic use was occurring.
''The antibiotic paradox is that the more we use, the fewer effective drugs remain,'' they said.
''When this laxity with antibiotics is extended to non-medical use in food production and over-the-counter sales in some developing countries, the antibiotic paradox becomes a downward spiral. ''For the first time in the antibiotic era, we are encountering untreatable infections alongside an antimicrobial void.''
The Infectious Diseases Society recommended the establishment of a antimicrobial resistant management body and a new centre for disease control to coordinate preparation for, and responses to, national health crises.

Tippi Hedren - Melanie Daniels

Veronica Cartwright - Cathy Brenner
Alfred Hitchcock - Director
Evan Hunter - Screenplay

Daphne du Maurier - Original Story
Bernard Herrmann - Sound Consultant
Alfred Hitchcock once admitted that he was in constant conflict with his audience. "When a new Hitchcock film appears, the public and critics sit back at the start and say to themselves, 'Let's see him scare me.' My job is to get them up on the edge of their seats, and to keep them there. It gets more difficult all the time because one must find new ways to surprise an audience. Any time a viewer of one of my films can say to himself, 'I knew that was coming,' I've lost him.
In The Birds, Hitchcock perhaps went to the greatest lengthsof his career to avoid those "cliches." His Technicolor film version of Daphne du Maurier's novella (then widely accepted as one of the greatest horror stories by a living author), scripted by Evan Hunter, showed thousands of birds making organized attacks on mankind--evil was presented as an environmental fact of life.
The director also reportedly drew inspiration from a 1961 incident in which seabirds attacked the terrified residents of Monterey Bay. Recent research has shown that the birds were suffering the effects of ingesting contaminated plankton, but in 1961, the then-inexplicable "revolt of the birds" helped Hitchcock devise the simple but horrifying "what if" premise.
In the key role of Melanie Daniels, Hitchcock cast Tippi Hedren, a model he spotted in a TV commercial. The blonde beauty rose to the challenge, working all but one-half day of the film's 75-day schedule. Acting opposite leading man Rod Taylor and stage actress Jessica Tandy (playing Taylor's mother), Hedren took sides in the bird war on mankind--but not until after she had been fomally introduced to her "co-stars."
"For a solid week," said Hedren, "we were in large cages with the birds. And five prop men threw birds at us for seven long days. They didn't exactly bite us, but they couldn't get out of our way. In order to stand it, I shut off something mentally and said to myself, 'You can do this.' It was awful." Hedren, besieged by birds for days on end while filming the terrifying attic attack scene, suffered a breakdown during production.
Perhaps the most important player on Hitchcock's team was animal trainer Ray Berwick. "I don't think (Hitchcock) knew what he was getting into," Berwick said. "He quickly had to give up any idea of using mechanical birds if he wanted realism. No book or ornithologist could give us guidance on the control of flocks of wild birds."
"I got used to [the birds] rather quickly," claimed Jessica Tandy, "simply by looking upon them as other actors. Although I must say, I was beginning to wonder in some of those scenes toward the end. I've never had another actor bite me before."
After Hitchcock completed principal photography, two separate units continued their special effects work. Ub Iwerks, on loan from Walt Disney Studios, begna intricate laboratory work while the shooting of special effects was done by another unit. To publicize The Birds, Hitchcok, his wife Alma and Hedren went to New York to begin and advance promotional tour. Joined there by Berwick, they took part in a one-hour segment of the Today show devoted to The Birds. Hitchcock also addressed an overflow crowd of top Washington journalists at a luncheon meeting of the National Press Club.
Then, The Birds was selected to inaugurate the 1963 Cannes Film Festival with a gala showing. "The Birds Is Coming!" was the key phrase of all advertising. Critics raved and audiences flocked to see Hitchcock's most expensive film to date--perhaps enticed by Hitchcock's claim that his depiction of an assault upon the human race "could be the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made." A masterpiece of thrills and sophisticated, subtle humor, The Birds became one of 1963's top grossers and yet another feather in the cap of the Master of Suspense.
"It is merely an exercise in imagination," Hitchcock claimed, "done necessarily with complete realism. We had no extensive bird data to go on, except the basic idea provided by du Maurier in her story. I like to think that our birds are merely getting back at the human race for centuries of being hunted and shot . . . This horror story offers a unique challenge to delight me. It will give audiences the entertaining taste of fear and the knot in the stomach they expect from me.

A good 100 or so of his closest friends and family helped Melbourne property developer Max Beck celebrate his 70th birthday on Friday.
Beck drily noted he was surprised that the executive chairman of high-end financial planner Joe Bongiorno and Becton Property Group chairman Bill Conn put their hands in their pockets to pay for the big bash, but was very grateful for them doing so.
The party was held at the Port Melbourne Yacht Club and since the venue was only booked until 6pm, the organisers wisely decided to keep the party going at the nearby Bay Hotel.
Beck also wisely eschewed speeches full of praise directed towards him – or perhaps the organisers did. Anyway, he was roasted on stage by quite a few of his mates, with the whole gig being hosted by TV personality

Adhesion of a Cell on a Substrate
Publication Date4/13/04
Read full article onlineFull Article
Life would not exist if the molecules involved did not interact in a very dynamical way. An equilibrium situation must not be reached and evolution has to be continual. This implies that life originates from interactions and bonds that are weak and have a short lifetime (1 µsec to several days) because of thermal fluctuations. Living systems endure a constant competition among these molecules that bind to each other. These molecular bonds, called ligand–receptor bonds or keylock bonds, define what is known as specific interactions. All molecules interact with each other, but, if possible, will form the strongest possible bond. It can be considered that two molecules that tend to bind in many situations are able to recognize each other. This can be observed in cell adhesion when two cells adhere because of specific molecules that they express at their surfaces. In real cells, this adhesion is usually difficult to quantify because of their complex physical properties and the high number of molecules that are present at their surfaces. However, for model cells, it is possible to quantify the adhesion and to deduce molecular properties of the bonds, even for very weak bonds. Here such a model of a cell adhering to a substrate will be presented. This model will be experimentally checked by the vesicle micromanipulation technique and applied to a bond involved in embryogenesis.

Sinclair's Safety specialists can help you with Competent Person Fall Protection Training. A "competent person" as defined by OSHA must ultimately have the ability to predict hazards and the authority to make changes to mitigate those hazards after training.
The goal of our training is to have an individual who can control fall hazards, resulting in a higher level of safety and compliance. You'll receive training and information on fall prevention and protection, the need for fall protection, hazard analysis, fall prevention vs. protection, general principles of fall protection, and much, much more.
The duration of training will depend on the industry you're in, and will be tailored to suit the needs of that industry to provide enough time to learn what is necessary to fulfill the Competent Person's responsibilities.
Safety training, OSHA compliance is part of our risk management approach.

Hi Chiara,
Instead of working so hard simply run a regression between lwage and
fem. Assuming that you define fem=0 as males and fem=1 as females, the
coefficient of fem is expected to be negative reflecting the wage gaps
between males and females. If in addition the coefficient of fem is
significant this implies a significant wage differences between males
and females. The command is:
reg lwage fem

Fiona MacCorquodale performs on the fiddle during the gala show.
©Guardian photo by Brian McInnis
Unbelievably, we are now through our first week of August. And as the sights and sounds of Old Home Week now embrace Charlottetown, we all sing out that same familiar chorus together when we see each other: "Where is the summer going?"
But luckily, even though that ol' "F-word" season is right around the corner, you still have six more chances to see a show that I would unquestionably describe as being the best variety I've ever seen in a summer ceilidh.
I'm talking about a show called Heartbeat Ceilidh, hosted by fiddler Aaron Crane and featuring eight young and exceptionally talented traditional music performers, playing every Monday night this summer at the Brackley Beach Community Centre.
I think it has been taking some time for the word to get around about this brand new ceilidh as Cynthia MacLeod's longtime ceilidh has now finished its more than 10 straight years of summer residency at the same venue.
But, with a fairly good crowd at the centre this past Monday night, it seems as though locals and tourists could be collectively catching on to the fact that there is a real gem of a show to be taken in here.
Some may have initially balked at the description of the show, but I suppose it could be understandable as it makes sense that, upon hearing about a show put on by a group of youth performers, it might seem as though it could be more of a "cutesy" show as opposed to one that displays impressive musical prowess in action.
But, in this case, don't let the fact that they're kids fool you. Heartbeat Ceilidh is skill-level-through-the-roof entertainment that will leave you shaking your head in delight.
First off, you have two-time Music P.E.I. Award nominee, 16-year old fiddler Fiona MacCorquodale, who shines brilliantly in her first featured starring role in a summer ceilidh, as she strolls her way through zipping tunes that many veteran fiddlers would never even attempt.
Champion youth step dancers, Janelle Banks and Kennedy Leard, make several appearances throughout the show and fire up the crowd each time that they do.
I did say that the ceilidh is not so much about the "cutesy" factor, but when "the Fiddle Monsters," 11-year-olds Lindsey Doiron, Cailyn MacAulay and Jenna Cyr (Cailyn was away that night) are on stage, the lovable trio thoroughly wraps the audience around their flying fiddling fingers.
The core group of musicians is completed by the skillful Annie Kitson on piano and Julien Kitson on vocals/guitar/mandolin (the musical offspring of well-known, award-winning Island performer Joey Kitson). And when Julien Kitson plays and sings songs like Sonny's Dream, Bye Bye Love and Wagon Wheel, the massive applause that follows each song says it all: we could be watching a new star being born right before our eyes.
Special guests are a part of each night as well, and this past Monday we had the pleasure of taking in performances by step dancer Elijah Moase (of Anne and Gilbert-The Musical), along with sweetly-sung versions of classics like Loch Lomond, Caledonia and Danny Boy by Celia Keoughan (also of Anne and Gilbert and who recently returned from playing the role of Anne of Green Gables in a visit to Japan).
Produced by dance teacher Michelle Banks and musically directed by Aaron Crane (who also plays Moody MacPherson once again in Anne and Gilbert-the Musical this summer), Heartbeat Ceilidh does feature different multiple guests every week (including dancer Brittany Banks for the next four Mondays). It runs through until Sept. 15, with all shows starting at 7:30 p.m.
Next week: I'll tell you all about show tomorrow night at The Mack.

ST. PETERSBURG — Rays right-hander Jeremy Hellickson appeared as calm and composed as a big-league veteran during his rookie season, containing his emotions like he did opposing offenses.
But Hellickson, 24, admitted he was pumped when he found out Monday he was named the American League's rookie of the year, an overwhelming choice by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
He's the second Ray to win the award, joining third baseman Evan Longoria, who won in 2008.
"I was very, very excited," Hellickson said. "It's something that I really wanted to win, and there were three, four other guys that I felt were just as deserving. So it's definitely very exciting."
Hellickson was first on 17 of the 28 ballots, which were submitted by two writers in each AL city. He amassed 102 points, topping Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo (63) and Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer (38). Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova finished fourth and Mariners second baseman Dustin Ackley fifth.
"There was no wrong choice," Hellickson said.
But Hellickson proved the best one, having led all major-league rookies in ERA (2.95), innings (189) and opponents' batting average (.210). He picked up 13 wins while pitching in the AL East and was undefeated in five consecutive starts against division rivals in September to help the Rays claim the wild card.
The Rays offered congratulations on Twitter, with manager Joe Maddon saying, "We are all very proud of you," and lefty David Price tweeting, "Helly is a beast!"
Hellickson and the Rays feel he can be even better.
"Jeremy was a big part of our success in 2011, he was able to make adjustments on the fly which is extremely difficult for someone in their first year," executive VP Andrew Friedman said. "The funny thing is, as good as he was in 2011, I think the arrow is pointing up, and I'm excited about what he brings to us in future years."
Hellickson said he made some adjustments throughout the year, including improving at holding runners and making some of his pitches better. While he had to deal with a weird schedule, once going 14 days between starts as the Rays tried to conserve his innings, Hellickson said it actually helped him remain healthy.
Hellickson becomes the first starting pitcher to claim the AL rookie of the year honors since Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander in 2006.
"If I am half as successful as he is right now in five years, I'll be happy," Hellickson said.
Hellickson could have easily had several more wins with more help from the Rays offense but received one or no runs of support in nine of his 10 losses. The Rays were shut out in five of Hellickson's starts.
"I feel like I had a pretty good year, but I felt like there were a few games there that definitely got a way from me that I know I could have pitched better in," Hellickson said. "And I could have had an even better year. I've just got to keep improving everything.
"You can never be satisfied."

Hyundai woos Japanese investment for North Korea projects
South Korea's embattled Hyundai Group is wooing Japanese investments to finance its ambitious business projects in North Korea, reports said Sunday.
Hyundai hopes to attract at least one billion dollars from Japan, Yonhap news agency said, adding the improvement of relations between Tokyo and Pyongyang would make Japanese investments active in the cash-strapped North.
Yonhap quoted a Hyundai official as saying: "Japanese businesses expressed intent to aggressively invest in our North Korea projects."
Hyundai Asan chairman Chung Mong-Hun visited Tokyo last week to contact Japanese partners, it said.
Chung, who heads the group's businesses in North Korea, last week said Hyundai would build a giant industrial and tourism complex along the North's southwest coast.
Hyundai, which runs a tourism complex on the North's east coast, hopes to follow a Chinese model for special economic zones for its new project in Kaesong near the border between the two Koreas.
Hyundai was optimistic over its project, saying it would build the first phase of the industrial park within a year by attracting up to 200 firms to produce textiles, auto parts and electronic goods.
But there have been suspicions over Hyundai's ability to finance the new project because of the group's restructuring.
The group has received emergency loans from banks in return for a bold program to streamline its bloated and family-controlled structure. — (AFP)

It has been announced that Bellator veteran and London Shootfighter's standout, 'Misiek' Mysiala will be returning to UCMMA to take on Carl Kinslow in a Light-Heavyweight fight at UCMMA 35 on August 3rd.
Misiek, who has fought around the world including on Bellator having taken on 'King Mo' Lawal, will be looking to get back to winning ways with a win over Kinslow. By far the more
experienced man, Misiek will be hoping his experience will hold the key to winning the fight.
However, Kinslow, who fights out of Combat Sports Academy (CSA) has shown that he is no slouch. Previously fighting at welterweight and now at heavyweight, he recently got a
TKO win over tough UK veteran, Ben Smith, proving he can beat more experienced guys. Although his record doesn't look great, this is the first time in his career whereby he is
training seriously... And look at what just happened!
This one looks to be a cracking fight, Kinslow loves to stand and bang however Misiek likes to take it to the floor. Kinslow has proven he has a solid defensive wrestling skill set
though when Ben Smith was unable to take him down. Wrestler Vs Striker, who knows what will happen.
UCMMA 35 takes place at The Troxy in London on August 3rd, for tickets click here, for all UCMMA news check out www.love2fightuk.comIts great to have guys like Misiek on the card, his known around the world and is ranked 3rd in the UK, Kinslow has a big challenge ahead of him with the Bellator star looking to get back on to winning ways. - Dave O'Donnell

Less than two weeks before oil began jetting from the ocean floor in the Gulf of Mexico, a state-commissioned report proclaimed the risk of drilling was extremely minimal.
It said a major spill should be expected only once every 100 years.
Even then, the report said, we might be talking about 1,000 barrels — approximately the amount of oil currently spewing into the Gulf every hour or two.
You might laugh at the report — if you hadn't spent $200,000 to create it.
Actually, State Rep. Dean Cannon decided you should spend it.

KENT, Wash. By 4 a.m. every Wednesday, a milk truck sits in the dark outside a Kent dairy delivery business.
It s run by Pete Ellis, the grandson of Ben Smith, who founded a dairy delivery in the same spot in 1920.
They did every day delivery. This is on a Sunday, Ellis said, pointing to an old photograph.
Smith started with vegetables, but made more money selling milk.
Ellis grew up beside his grandfather, learning all about dairy delivery, and took the driver s seat with his own company Pete s Milk Delivery, specializing in local, high-quality dairy in the 1970s.
Today, Ellis runs nine routes and employs 10 drivers. He sells between 10,000 and 12,000 gallons of milk every week.
The route driven by Jeff Dahlquist, however, is unique.
On a ferry to Vashon Island by 6am, Dahlquist s is the only route left that still makes stops at family homes.
Deliver to the parents, then the kids, then the kids kids, Dahlquist said.
It s the main reason, Pete says, that he s still in the milk business after all these years.
The families, how many wonderful families and kids I watched grow up, Dahlquist.
One of those long-time customers is Dorothy Johnson. The 90-year old mother of five has had milk delivered to her Vashon Island home for decades.
With five children, I probably didn t find time to go get the milk, she said.
She s been a customer of Pete s delivery for more than 20 years, even though her kids are grown, her husband has passed away, and she lives alone.
I think of it as special milk, she said.
Special milk because it s delivered the way Smith intended so long ago, even when the order is so small like Ms. Johnson s three quarts, that it brings the business absolutely no profit at all.
I always say, we ll never be the biggest, but we ll try to bring you the best, Ellis said. Loving milk, loving cows and being able to bring that to families.
Pete can t quite let go of his residential delivery, which doesn t compete financially with the commercial routes.
Ms. Johnson never realized she s one of the last.
I ll keep drinking milk, she laughed.
And for customers like Johnson, Ellis plans to keep delivering milk labeled with a picture of the same 1919 Ford Model TT Truck that Ellis grandfather once drove.
Family. Quality. Believing in what you re doing. Having a passion for it, Ellis said.
Kent milk dairy delivery going on 100 years
Most of us buy milk at a grocery store, but there is a dairy delivery in Kent that still runs routes directly to doorsteps, like their family has for nearly 100 years. Why they keep the one milk route that makes the least money.
KENT, Wash. By 4 a.m. every Wednesday, a milk truck sits in the dark outside a Kent dairy delivery business.

John Spillane was born in
Cork. He graduated from University College Cork with a degree in Irish
and English. John spent two summers playing bass guitar with Johnny
CrowleyÆs group, a job which enabled him to earn money from music
for the first time. This suited him better than the job he had in
the bank in Limerick after the Leaving Cert, a period in his life
which was the inspiration for the witty æBank of Ireland Sean-n¾s
John spent seven years singing with the Stargazers, a group which
performed American songs by singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Cole
Porter, Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer. In the early Nineties
the Stargazers split up, and John subsequently sang and played bass
guitar with the highly-popular traditional group Nomos. He left that
group in early 1998, however, to pursue a solo career.
John has been writing songs, both in English and Irish, with his old
friend Louis de Paor now for many years (he calls their partnership
æThe Gaelic Hit FactoryÆ!) They have won Raidi¾ na GaeltachtaÆs song
contest Rķalta on two occasions. John performs their winning entry
in 2001, æAg an gC¾isirÆ, during his appearance in æTuras TeangaÆ.
John has released two solo albums to date, The Wells of the World
(1997) and Will We Be Brilliant Or What (2002). That latter album
was his first with the major EMI label and it made the Top 20 in Ireland.
He won a Meteor Music Award in the the Best Folk/Traditional Act category
in 2003, ahead of popular artistes such as Altan, The Chieftains,
KĒla, Christy Moore and Sinķad O'Connor.
John has been presenting a weekly music programme called æRogha John
SpillaneÆ on Raidi¾ na Gaeltachta
since September 2003. The programme can be heard each Sunday evening
between 9.30 and 10.30 p.m.
He is married and lives in Cork. He has one daughter, for whom he
wrote the song æAll the Ways You WanderÆ.
Rugadh John Spillane i gCorcaigh.
Bhain sķ cķim amach i gColßiste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh sa Ghaeilge
agus sa Bhķarla. Chaith John dhß shamhradh ag seinm an dordghiotßir
le gr·pa Jimmy Crowley, post a chuir ar a chumas airgead a shaothr·
¾n gceol den chķad uair. BhĒ sķ seo ina phost nĒos oiri·naĒ nß an
ceann a bhĒ aige i mbanc i Luimneach tar ķis na hArdteiste, trķimhse
dß shaol a spreag an t-amhrßn greannmhar æBank of Ireland Sean-n¾s
Chaith John seacht mbliana ag canadh leis an ngr·pa The Stargazers,
gr·pa a chan amhrßin Mheiriceßnacha a chualathas ar dt·s ag leithķidĒ
Ella Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael agus Johnny Mercer.
Thßinig deireadh le The Stargazers ag t·s na n¾chaidĒ, agus ina dhiaidh
sin chaith John trķimhse ag canadh agus ag seinm an dordghiotßir leis
an ngr·pa traidisi·nta Nomos. DÆfhßg sķ an gr·pa sin go luath i 1998,
ßfach, mar gur theastaigh uaidh a bheith ag seinm ina aonar.
The John ag scrĒobh amhrßn, i nGaeilge agus i mBķarla, lena sheanchara

Koch brothers: Tea Party funders' meeting near Vail draws progressive protesters (PHOTOS)
While William Koch was paying $2 million for a photo of Billy the Kid, his brothers, conservative lightning rods Charles and David, were meeting at the Ritz-Carlton resort at Bachelor Gulch near Vail -- a get-together that spurred a protest stirred up in part by ProgressNow Colorado. Why? According to executive director Kjersten Forseth, the Koches "are leading funders of the Tea Party, and the countless unnamed groups who appear on TV every election spreading misinformation."
In a statement on view below, Forseth adds, "This secret conference is where they plot the next steps."
Look below to see ProgressNow photos of the protest and resort, as well as the full release:

ProgressNow Colorado release:
Colorado Progressives to Koch Brothers: End Your War on the Middle Class
BEAVER CREEK: Progressives from around Colorado gathered today near a top strategy meeting of conservative funders, officials, and opinion makers near Vail, Colorado organized by the billionaire Koch brothers, to demand an end to recent attacks on Medicare and Social Security, and other institutions vital to the middle class in America.
"The billionaire Koch brothers are leading funders of the Tea Party, and the countless unnamed groups who appear on TV every election spreading misinformation," said Kjersten Forseth, executive director of ProgressNow Colorado. "Their agenda is simple: they want to dismantle Medicare and Social Security, cut education and every other source of public funding beneficial to America's middle class, while giving the wealthy and big corporations even more tax breaks."
"This secret conference is where they plot the next steps," said Forseth.
Word of the Koch brothers' unpublicized conference near Vail this weekend first leaked in an obscure Virginia news report about the upcoming travels of that state's conservative Gov. Bob McDonnell. The previous Koch conference, held in Palm Springs, California last January, was met with a large protest of progressives seeking transparency--and more importantly, truth in advertising.
"ProgressNow Colorado does not oppose political donations," said Forseth. "ProgressNow Colorado is against using corporate profits to attack Social Security, Medicare, and vital institutions that the Koch Brothers want to dismantle for future generations. We're against making painful cuts to education, health care, and transportation while giving rich people and big corporations more tax breaks."
"A larger problem for the Koch brothers, and other corporate funders of the right wing, is what happens when their consumers and shareholders figure out how the profits are being spent," said Forseth. "Our message for the Koch brothers for today is simpler: take all of the swanky vacations in our beautiful state that you want, because it's great for our local economy, but please end this war on America's middle class before it's too late."

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
I use fileField path module on a multisite (in the sites/all/modules folder).
I also applied two patches :
#1512466: Multivalue field : only the first field is correctly treated
#1355170: All text-based fields wiped empty after replacing a file in a node and saving.
When i activate the fielfield path module, i have a token error in the report/status page :
The following token types are not defined but have tokens: : $info['types']['file']
I tried the #1601104: Notice: Undefined index: extension in filefield_paths_tokens() (Patch) patch but no effect.
If i desactivate it, the token issue desappear...

I'm also seeing this message (using filefield_paths 1.0-beta3), it is displayed on the status report page. I can confirm that it disappears upon disabling filefield_paths.
A similar issue is fixed here in token module for some Drupal core token providers, but
If you are getting this notice for other types, you will need to file an issue with the modules that provides the offending tokens.

Unable to reproduce this issue, both locally with the latest dev and via Simplytest.me with 7.x-1.0-beta3: http://simplytest.me/project/filefield_paths/7.x-1.0-beta3
Any further information on how to reproduce this issue would be appreciated.
Comment #4RaulMuroc CreditAttribution: RaulMuroc commented
It happens to me also.
I had installed Menu_token 7.x-1.0-beta5 and by then it never appeared this message.
Once I changed to Menu_tokven 7.x-1.0-dev it appeared this message in the Status report!
So somehow is related between File (field) path module and Menu_token module in latest dev.
Comment #5RaulMuroc CreditAttribution: RaulMuroc commented
In my case it was just problems of permissions.
../sites/all/modules/menu_token <-- this last subdirectory and its content didn't let www-data (apache server) to access and execute. Once I change that it worked like a charm and error disappeared.

Sounds like the solution is in #5, and is unrelated to this module.

or our windfall of mealy tree-apples.
Some snowy nights dark with solstice
they'd rush the yard kicking up drifts
under the spun sky
as if beauty had finally sprung a lock
on the reserve midwinter requires.
My father wanted to fell the pine,
its hulking shadow dwarfing the porch,
but was persuaded to let it die
in its own time.
My sisters and I are all grown,
our swing-set hung with bird feeders
and the picnic table, migrated
to the woods' edge.
Maybe because the neighborhood has emptied
of children and hammers no longer
pound in the distance,
a new season of deer has returned
and just before my parents dine
at the tidy hour of 5:30,
they carry heaped trays out back, like demigods
lay a spread of alfalfa, oats, clover
along the table's weathered periphery
and the deer emerge in fives and tens,
bend their necks to the splintered planks
where platters of hot dogs and citronella candles
had once been, to eat their evening meal,
not questioning its arrival or presentation,
each with a measured plot of molasses and grain,
the last cinders of dusk falling into place
while inside the house, my father draws
the struck match to the candlewicks,
my mother setting the table for two.
