DONIZETTI: Francesca di Foix
Among Gaetano Donizetti’s compositions are just over a dozen one-act operas. Save for his one
Twelve years after Opera Holland Park's first production of Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, the opera made a welcome return.
The Italianate cloister setting at Iford chimes neatly with Monteverdi’s penultimate opera The Return of Ulysses, as the setting cannot but bring to mind those early days of the musical genre. The world of commercial public opera had only just dawned with the opening of the Teatro San Cassiano in Venice in 1637 and for the first time opera became open to all who could afford a ticket, rather than beholden to the patronage of generous princes. Monteverdi took full advantage of the new stage and at the age of 73 brought all his experience of more than 30 years of opera-writing since his ground-breaking L’Orfeo (what a pity we have lost all those works) to the creation of two of his greatest pieces, Ulysses and then his final masterpiece, Poppea.
Once again, we find ourselves thanking an unrepresentable being for Welsh National Opera’s commitment to its mission. It is a sad state of affairs when a season that includes both Boulevard Solitude and Moses und Aron is considered exceptional, but it is - and is all the more so when one contrasts such seriousness of purpose with the endless revivals of La traviata which, Die Frau ohne Schatten notwithstanding, seem to occupy so much of the Royal Opera’s effort. That said, if the Royal Opera has not undertaken what would be only its second ever staging of Schoenberg’s masterpiece - the first and last was in 1965, long before most of us were born! - then at least it has engaged in a very welcome ‘WNO at the Royal Opera House’ relationship, in which we in London shall have the opportunity to see some of the fruits of the more adventurous company’s endeavours.
If you don’t have the means to get to the Rossini festival in Pesaro, you would do just as well to come to Indianola, Iowa, where Des Moines Metro Opera festival has devised a heady production of Le Comte Ory that is as long on belly laughs as it is on musical fireworks.
Composed during just a few weeks of the summer of 1926, Janáček’s Slavonic-text Glagolitic Mass was first performed in Brno in December 1927. During the rehearsals for the premiere - just 3 for the orchestra and one 3-hour rehearsal for the whole ensemble - the composer made many changes, and such alterations continued so that by the time of the only other performance during Janáček’s lifetime, in Prague in April 1928, many of the instrumental (especially brass) lines had been doubled, complex rhythmic patterns had been ‘ironed-out’ (the Kyrie was originally in 5/4 time), a passage for 3 off-stage clarinets had been cut along with music for 3 sets of pedal timpani, and choral passages were also excised.
With the conclusion of the ROH 2013-14 season on Saturday evening - John Copley’s 40-year old production of La Bohème bringing down the summer curtain - the sun pouring through the gleaming windows of the Floral Hall was a welcome invitation to enjoy a final treat. The Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Showcase offered singers whom we have admired in minor and supporting roles during the past year the opportunity to step into the spotlight.
Many words have already been spent - not all of them on musical matters - on Richard Jones’s Glyndebourne production of Der Rosenkavalier, which last night was transported to the Royal Albert Hall. This was the first time at the Proms that Richard Strauss’s most popular opera had been heard in its entirety and, despite losing two of its principals in transit from Sussex to SW1, this semi-staged performance offered little to fault and much to admire.
The BBC Proms 2014 season began with Sir Edward Elgars The Kingdom (1903-6). It was a good start to the season,which commemorates the start of the First World War. From that perspective Sir Andrew Davis's The Kingdom moved me deeply.
One is unlikely to come across a cast of Figaro principals much better than this today, and the virtues of this performance indeed proved to be primarily vocal.
Assured elegance, care and thoughtfulness characterised tenor James Gilchrist’s performance of Schubert’s Schwanengesang at the Wigmore Hall, the cycles’ two poets framing a compelling interpretation of Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte.
‘Music for a while shall all your cares beguile.’ Dryden’s words have never seemed as apt as at the conclusion of this wonderful sequence of improvisations on Purcell’s songs and arias, interspersed with instrumental chaconnes and toccatas, by L’Arpeggiata.
The acoustic of the gigantic Théâtre Antique Romain at Orange cannot but astonish its nine thousand spectators, the nearly one hundred meter breadth of the its proscenium inspires awe. There was excited anticipation for this performance of Verdi’s first masterpiece.
Richard Strauss may be most closely associated with the soprano voice but this recording of a selection of the composer’s lieder by baritone Thomas Hampson is a welcome reminder that the rapt lyricism of Strauss’s settings can be rendered with equal beauty and character by the low male voice.
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis has once again staked claim to being the summer festival “of choice” in the US, not least of all for having mounted another superlative world premiere.
In past years the operas of the Aix Festival that took place in the Grand Théâtre de Provence began at 8 pm. The Magic Flute began at 7 pm, or would have had not the infamous intermittents (seasonal theatrical employees) demanded to speak to the audience.
High drama in Aix. Three scenarios in conflict — those of G.F. Handel, Richard Jones and the intermittents (disgruntled seasonal theatrical employees). Make that four — mother nature.
The programme declared that ‘music, water and night’ was the connecting thread running through this diverse collection of songs, performed by soprano Lucy Crowe and pianist Anna Tilbrook, but in fact there was little need to seek a unifying element for these eclectic works allowed Crowe to demonstrate her expressive range — and offered the audience the opportunity to hear some interesting rarities.
‘Only make the reader’s general vision of evil intense enough and his own experience, his own imagination, his own sympathy will supply him quite sufficiently with all the particulars.
It is not often that concept, mood, music and place coincide perfectly. On the first night of Opera della Luna’s La Fille du Regiment at Iford Opera in Wiltshire, England we arrived with doubts (rather large doubts it should be admitted)as to whether Donizetti’s “naive and vulgar” romp of militarism and proto-feminism, peopled with hordes of gun-toting soldiers and praying peasants, could hardly be contained, surely, inside Iford’s tiny cloister?
‘Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,/ Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend/ More than cool reason ever comprehends.’
Among Gaetano Donizetti’s compositions are just over a dozen one-act operas. Save for his one
A case in point is the melodramma giocoso entitled Francesca di Foix (1831). For instance, William Ashbrook, perhaps the most noted interpreter of Donizetti’s career, deemed this score “largely inconsequential,” suggesting as well that it was “not the expected sequel to Anna Bolena” (1830) and that it must have been composed with “minimal exertion.” The current re-examination of opera’s narrative has compelled scholars to take a different approach. No longer is it protocol to separate out works that somehow seem apart from the norm; rather it is important, especially in light of slow but steady publication of sets of critical editions, to acknowledge each work as a step in a composer’s compositional development. Hence, a recording of Francesca di Foix, especially one as well-performed as this latest addition to Opera Rara’s CDs of the works of Donizetti, becomes as important as it is entertaining.
Francesca di Foix was written for performance at the San Carlo in Naples for the onomastico or name day of Ferdinando II. Jeremy Commons, author of the CD liner notes, seems surprised by the subject of the work: it revolves around jealousy rather than love. Given the importance and international vogue of French opéra comique, the libretto, based on a subject set by Henri-Montan Berton, hardly seems out of place at all. Furthermore, the history of Donizetti’s opera speaks to its popularity. The gala starred the most important baritone of the primo Ottocento stage: Antonio Tamburini (who, let it be noted, sang the role of the King, the character who not only sorts of Francesca’s problems with her husband but who would have symbolized Ferdinando). Given that there was no such thing as an operatic repertory, it is unfair to judge the quality of Francesca’s music on its seven-performance run. Moved to the Teatro Fondo from the massive venue in which it was premiered, it nonetheless was returned to the San Carlo, where it was sung three more times. Its future after that is predictable; since occasional pieces generally were associated with the celebrations for which they were commissioned, it is highly unlikely that Donizetti would have considered offering his name-day present to the ruler of the city in which he was employed to theaters outside of Naples. He may have gained nothing more than fame from the work, but the fact that he plumbed it later for self-borrowings suggests that he was confident about the score. The comment of music publisher Guglielmo Cottrau (“the music is very feeble”) can easily be explained away; it was par for the course, indeed obligatory for publishers to speak ill of the music of composers in whose works they did not deal (in fact, Cottrau would not publish Donizetti’s music until later).
Assuming that Patric Schmid and Robert Roberts’ performing edition, based on the holograph score at the Naples Conservatory, has preserved the work’s historical integrity, Opera Rara’s Francesco di Foix is a delight. The recording’s cast features a now-familiar set of performers who excell in this repertory. Among these regulars are Annick Massis, Bruce Ford, Pietro Spagnoli, and in another “breeches role,” Jennifer Larmore, all joined by Alfonso Antoniozzi. One comes to expect the highest quality from this core group and no one disappoints in this production. Particularly notable is Massis’ rendition of the cabaletta “Donzelle, si vi stimola,” a perfect example of the some of the inventive elements in this score. Massis and Ford offer a spectacular rendition of the stretta “Quante son delle civette” of Francesca and the Duke’s duet. As usual, Larmore’s performance is consistently excellent as is Spagnoli’s. If it is Opera Rara’s intent (and one must go by the liner notes in this case) to highlight Francesca di Foix as an opera semiseria, Antoniozzi’s interpretation, heard even in his entrance, “Che vita, della caccia” emphasizes the buffo elements of his role a bit too strongly. On the other hand, this interpretation may serve well for it allows listeners to link this score with roles like Dulcamara and Don Pasquale. Finally, the Geoffrey Mitchell Choir offers non-intrusive but substantive support that is right on the mark.
Francesca di Foix is no inconsequential work; rather it is a gem in miniature, featuring all of the stylistic elements of primo Ottocento opera in one single act. Kudos to Opera Rara for (re)introducing it to the world.

Lang Yarns is a company has been producing beautiful yarns since 1867, and we can say with conviction that everything they make, is of the highest quality.
And what makes Lang even more wonderful than it already is, is that the patterns they offer are as equally beautiful as the yarns that they have been knit out of!
The pattern books are well worth having a look through, as they are sure to inspire not only your knitting, but your overall fashion sense.
Lang is kind enough to offer a few of their patterns for free, and we are pleased that we can introduce one of these patterns to your knitting library today.
This big and cozy scarf is knit using two strands of Lang’s Nova yarn held together. Using three colours total, the strands are swapped in and out throughout the project to give an ombre effect.
As for Nova, it is an incredibly soft yarn with a chainette construction. It is composed of merino wool, camel hair and nylon. The bit of nylon gives it some strength, the merino keeps it soft and squishy, and the camel hair gives it a soft halo that gently pokes through the chained construction of this yarn- and we mean that in the coziest way possible!
Nova also comes in a gorgeous range of colours, making the colour combinations endless! Knit on a 7mm needle, this big scarf will knit up quickly, and is sure to be a classic.
Wishing you all safe and Happy Hallowe’en weekend!
And don’t forget that extra hour on Sunday! More time to knit perhaps?

Feds: Newark home turned into ‘fast-food-style drive-through' for drugs
NEW JERSEY (FOX 5 NY) - Several members of the notorious ‘Bloods’ street gang are accused of turning an abandoned Newark home into a “fast-food-style drive-through” for drugs.
According to the New Jersey District Attorney’s office, Shaheed Blake, 36, and Anderson Hutchinson, 37, led an enormous drug market that operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week, pulling in roughly $10,000 a day in sales of heroin and crack cocaine.
“These defendants are charged with orchestrating and participating in a massive drug trafficking organization that pumped heroin and crack cocaine into the streets of Newark and surrounding areas virtually non-stop,” U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said.
The home, located at 921 South 20th Street, was described as “virtually impenetrable,” with all doors and windows boarded up and the only way to get in via a ladder leading to a second-floor window. Once someone entered the home, they would also pull the ladder in. Drugs would be sold through a small hole cut out of a first-floor outer wall.
The home is just two blocks from a school.
The defendants also allegedly stored narcotics, a communal cell phone used to operate the business and a collection of firearms and ammunition in a backyard shed.
“These arrests should serve as a warning to those who choose t plague and flood their communities with violence and rugs,” said ATF Newark Field Division Special Agent in Charge Charlie J. Patterson. “Their engagement in such crimes will bring the full force of the federal justice system against them.”

Eighty-seven-year-old Alice Agbemrehwue Omadefe of Ovre-r’Eku, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State is reported missing after soldiers recruited by Presco Plc and Newcross Petroleum Limited attacked over 500 women protesting. The protesters have said that their oil wells and farm lands have been forcefully taken over by the two companies and the Edo State Government.
SaharaReporters learned that the protestors, armed with green leaves and a mock coffin covered in palm fronds, converged in the Ovre-r’Eku community where they marched to the disputed area to express their displeasure at the alleged sale of the land to the oil companies.
According to an eyewitness, when the women arrived at the scene they were confronted by soldiers led by Unit Commander Lt. E.D Oworobo. The commander cocked his rifle and ordered his men to deal mercilessly with the women, who were flogged, booted, and assaulted.
“As the women were running for their lives, the soldiers continued chasing them. While some of the women in their eighties who could not run were caught by the soldiers and trampled upon with their boots. Others were flogged with sticks and horse whips,” the witness said.
“As if that was not enough the soldiers again went on a rampage and invaded the Ovre-r’Eku community. They destroyed properties, motorcycles and bicycles belonging to residents of the community,” the eyewitness stated.
SaharaReporters reliably gathered that at the time of this report the missing octogenarian, along with scores of other women, have yet to be found.
It was reported that the soldiers threatened to kill journalists working for Vanguard and The Authority newspapers, who were at the scene to report on the disturbance.
Locals condemned the attack on the harmless protestors. During a stakeholder meeting with the people at his palace, Ogurimerime Ukori I, the traditional ruler of the Agbon Kingdom, vowed to pursue the matter to a logical conclusion.
“We have reached out to the 4th Brigade, Benin city where the soldiers were deployed from and we will be working closely with them and the Delta State government in addressing the attack on the women,” the monarch said.
Also reacting, a Warri-based human rights lawyer, Mr. Oghenejabor Ikimi, noted that the attacks were a gross violation of the women’s right to peaceful protest. He vowed to file a suit against the unit commander, the 4th Brigade, Benin city and the Chief of Army Staff. It will be recalled that SaharaReporters published a series of investigative stories in 2015 on the 19th Battalion, under the 4th Brigade, for executing a civilian who reported on how they were working with local criminal gangs to steal oil and other illicit activities.
Also condemning the attack, the Delta State House of Assembly on Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Chief of Army Staff to carry out a full scale investigation into the unlawful attacks on the women. The house further called on the management of Presco Plc and the soldiers to locate the missing eighty-seven-year-old woman.

The two friends Alex and Angus formed Goodvibes Sound back in 2019 and released their first single ‘Beachside Living’ a year later. With their catchy and psychedelic sounds, they have been gathering more and more fans around their musical project prior to their album release. Goodvibes Sound is also being recognized within the music industry: they performed on the main stage at The Big Weekend, UK; they shared the bill with Nile Rodgers & Chic and have been supported by BBC radio.
After releasing singles for a few years, they are now ready to share their debut album ‘The Institute’ with the rest of the world. The main theme of the album is the journey of someone feeling lost and alienated who ends up finding the mythical Goodvibes Institute. Based on their personal experience, it represents what the two artists went through while finding themselves in music. What started as an escapist project for Angus and Alex, became a work that they connected deeply together on and a story that expresses a few truths that they feel are important. Listening to the full album feels like a trip. It goes from carefree to angsty, fun to weird, but mostly it’s a very groovy vibe that you can put on to chill out or dance to.

Many friends and colleagues have been asking me for more details about the Burger Records Festival at Los Globos in L.A. next month. I’ve been sleuthing, and here is some more info on this exciting event: I will be participating as a Blind Date, drumming for the one and only Gary Wilson. Besides the normal thrill of backing that legend up, I’m super excited to catch mo-fi pioneer (not lo-fi!) R. Stevie Moore’s performance. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop there! Burger Records is pulling out all the stops on this one, including Jacuzzi Boys (I’m including a video of one of my favorite songs by them here), the Garden, Cherry Glazerr, and so many more, as you can see on this poster. I can only imagine who the “special guest” is, but judging by the lineup, it’s going to be someone pretty amazing. The venue for this all ages BBQ extravaganza, Los Globos (http://www.clublosglobos.com), is located on L.A.’s fabled Sunset Blvd. This historic location has been around since the 1930s, and was originally the city’s first American Legion hall. The space’s credits include formerly hosting one of L.A.’s first openly gay clubs, as well as the country’s first legal rave. I can’t wait for this one, and I’m sure I’ll be posting more about tit as it nears. Thanks for staying tuned in!
Well, another great San Diego weekend in the books, with its usual mix of friends, music, and, um…light sabers. As many of you know, I play drums regularly with Lady Dottie and the Diamonds. It’s always a blast playing our weekly rock ‘n roll dance party at Café 21 every Saturday, but this weekend was especially fun, aided by the international phenomenon we know as Comic-Con. Before the show and between sets, it was a lot of fun to soak up the Comic-Con vibes. Though the official event really only takes place at the San Diego Convention Center, the festivities spill out into downtown at night. As I sat on my drum throne laying down party grooves for the San Diego Music Award-winning band, I thoroughly enjoyed watching a parade of Deadpools, Ninja Turtles, Jedis, and zombies informally parade and socialize down 5th Avenue in the Gaslamp. And then for some inexplicable reason there was that San Diego Police Department hooptie… More to come, and thanks for staying tuned in!

San Diego folks that frequent establishments like the U.S. Grant Hotel, Riviera Supper Club, Kensington Club, and other spots are probably familiar with the city’s hardest working standards quartet, Westside Inflection. What they might not know is that the quartet was originally named Seabreeze, and was at one time the most in-demand ensemble in San Diego’s Navy Band Southwest. As the VIP ensemble for the prestigious band, the original lineup of Jason Hanna, Anders Larsson, Antar Martin, and Colin Greggs played for thousands of people, including notables like the Secretary of the Navy and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (Mr. Carter was so moved by the groups performance of a Nat King Cole classic that he actually approached Hanna to tell him that the group reminded him of his time in the Navy). The original Westside Inflection, then named “Seabreeze”. From left to right: Jason Hanna, Anders Larsson, Antar Martin, and Colin Greggs. Photo by Bill Chizek. It wasn’t long before the quartet realized that when time allowed, and on “liberty,” they could bring the classic swinging standards of Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, et al to the public in San Diego. Hanna and Larsson are now enjoying the lives of civilian, full-time musicians based in San Diego, while Colin Greggs continues to serve in uniform in Italy, and Pete Mattice (who replaced Martin on bass) is doing the same in Seattle. The quartet is busier than ever these days, with Jon Walters (Third Coast Jazz), Alex Ciavarelli, and Mark Dzula taking care of guitar duties, while Jason Littlefield (The Heavy Guilt, Archie Thompson) expertly fills the position of bassist. Besides special events, Westside Inflection plays every Wednesday evening at the Riviera Supper Club in La Mesa.
More San Diego shows announced for Javier Escovedo and the City Lights! I’m very excited to be playing more shows with this great band, and wanted to share the dates of the confirmed upcoming shows in America’s Finest City. It’s going to be a busy summer and fall for us, so buckle up! Javier Escovedo and the City Lights performing at Ray at Night. Pictured: Javier Escovedo and Anders Larsson.

September - 11 Mary Jane’s Underground (Hard Rock Hotel) September 27 - Adams Avenue Street Fair (all ages) October 6 - the Casbah Rumor has it we will also be making an appearance on NBC7’s SoundDiego TV program, doing an interview with Tim Pyles, playing a show at my favorite La Mesa venue, the Riviera Supper Club, playing the Tower Bar’s epic monthly Punk Rock vs. Hip Hop event, and doing an in-store at San Diego’s coolest record store, M-Theory. I can’t say enough about how much fun I have playing with Javier, Xavier Roji Anaya, and Thomas Kitsos. It’s a real privilege to play with those guys, and I learn something new every show. I’m looking forward to what’s in store for us in the coming months. Thanks, as always, for staying tuned in!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor spent quarantine belting out bangers in her kitchen, which the UK pop star kindly documented on social media for her fans, and she’s now releasing an album called, appropriately enough, Songs From The Kitchen Disco. The lead single is a cover of Alcazar’s 2001 Euro-smash “Crying At The Discotheque,” which heavily sampled Sheila and B. Devotion’s 1979 hit “Spacer.” Sophie puts her own spin on the high-camp classic, making it a prelude of sorts to “Murder On The Dancefloor.”
The rest of Songs From The Kitchen Disco is largely comprised of hits including “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love),” “Get Over You,” “Music Gets The Best Of Me,” “Catch You,” “Bittersweet” and “Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer).” The album will be released on CD, vinyl and cassette and is already available to pre-order here. I’m obviously very, very here for anything Sophie does, but it would be nice to get another album of original material before we all die of old age. Listen to “Crying At The Discoteque” below.

Things You Should Know About Dental Crowns in Ahwatukee AZ
Dental Crowns in Ahwatukee AZ is the name given to a fixed dental prosthesis meant to replace the crown of a natural tooth that was impaired in its structure. When a tooth is fractured, is old or is severely damaged, a dentist may recommend the placement of a dental crown. A dental crown protects and strengthens the remaining tooth structure, improving the appearance of the dental arch, which influences a person’s dental aesthetics directly. There are times where you need to consult a dentist to learn more, so if this is the case, schedule an appointment with your local dentist.
Types of Dental Crowns
1. Porcelain without metal: This option has better dental aesthetics than any other type of dental crown. It’s not as tough as ceramic/metal. It is a dental prosthesis ideal for anterior teeth.
2. Metal: Less tooth structure needs to be removed. The main disadvantage of this option is the color of the metal, and the biggest advantage is its high resistance.
3. Metal-ceramic (porcelain fused to metal): This is stronger than porcelain dental crowns and the dental aesthetics are the best. They are ideal for back teeth and can also be used for anterior teeth.
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
A dental crown is a dental prosthesis used to completely or partially cover a portion of a damaged tooth, improving the aesthetics of a patient’s dental work. In addition to providing greater resistance to a damaged tooth, Dental Crowns in Ahwatukee AZ can be used to improve the shape or alignment of teeth in the dental arch, beyond the appearance of aesthetics. A dental crown can also be placed on a dental implant, giving it shape and resembling a natural tooth, so that it can perform its original functions in the dental arch. Crowns are fixed in the tooth, unlike mobile teeth, such as fixed and removable dentures.
Advantages of Tooth Crown
One of the advantages is that it strengthens and protects teeth, keeping their original format and assisting in dental aesthetics. A crown should be placed before the tooth has cavities or fractures, preventing these problems from overwhelming the dental arch. For more information check out this website.

Videomaker – Learn video production and editing, camera reviews › Forums › Technique › Editing › MotionDV STUDIO Vista Update…Help, Please
I’m not sure if this is the right site to be at, but if someone here could help me I’d appreciate it.
I have a Panasonic CamcorderPV GS59 that came with MotionDV Studio 5.6 and Quick Movie Magic. I recently bought Magix Movie Edit 12. I can only edit on Magix ifI load it from MotionDV, which is fine, but I got a computer with Vista and MotionDV won’t download to it. I tried loading the movie through Windows movie Maker, but when I tried to get it to Magix, the sound was messed up. So I found a download on Panasonic for MotionDV for Vista (http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/soft/download/motionDV60E_LE_1.html) but I have no idea how to download it… Can anyone help me please?
I’m sure you’ve found out by now but in case someone who reads this hasn’t, here goes.
Download all the files. I think there were 7 of about 20Mb. But most importantly, download the .BAT file.
Once all the files are downloaded, run the BAT file and it joins up all the other files to create an EXE file.
It is this EXE file you run BUT only after you have removed the previous version of MotionDV.
My final comment is that MotionDV and SweetMovieLife are atrocious programs that don’t work. I’m presently trying to find a better solution and wish I could add it here, but I thought it more important to get this reply done now.

The ease with which Central Catholic powered past Nazareth in Friday night's District 11 boys lacrosse championship surprised even Vikings senior Adam Wydra.
"I was confident we could handle Nazareth," Wydra said, "but the score was a little surprising, definitely."
The final score was Central Catholic 16, Nazareth 5. But the score at the end of each of the first three quarters was 7-0, 11-0 and 14-0. The match became so lopsided so quickly that the mercy rule — a 12-goal difference — went into effect just 35 seconds into the second half.
Second-seeded Central Catholic defeated the No. 4 Blue Eagles at Emmaus' Memorial Field to become the first District 11 champion other than perennial power Emmaus. Nazareth took out big, bad Emmaus 12-11 in overtime in Wednesday's semifinals to move into the final, while the Vikings easily beat Parkland, 13-5, in the other semifinal.
The District 11 girls' title went to No. 1 Emmaus, which earned a 15-11 win over Nazareth in the opener of the championship night doubleheader.
Coach Dan Dolphin's Central Catholic boys waited until they took the biggest stage to put on a lacrosse clinic.
"We came out and the kids played out of their minds," said Dolphin, drenched from an ice-water bath that was part of the celebration. "I thought if we started off quick tonight it might sap some of the spirit Nazareth had from beating Emmaus. The boys certainly did just that, but not in my wildest dreams did I expect 11 goals in the first half."
Junior Kevin Gulyas scored three goals in the first quarter for the Vikings (18-4), junior Steve Mussoline totaled three in the first half and Wydra, a senior, contributed a goal and four assists in the first 24 minutes of play. Senior Tyler Albanese's tally 35 seconds into the third quarter started a running clock.
"This is probably the most fun I ever had in a game," Wydra said. "Offensively, we were clicking and defensively we dominated. We have so many weapons and tonight we used them all."
Gulyas, Mussoline and Albanese all ended up with three goals, and Wydra finished with two goals and four assists as Dolphin substituted freely starting late in the third period.
Nazareth (14-8) scored all five of its goals in the final 12 minutes of play.
Blue Eagles coach Kevin Fogerty praised Central Catholic's overall effort and refused to blame a letdown for the 11-goal difference.
"I don't think that was it, in all honesty," Fogerty said, when asked if his players had nothing left physically or emotionally after Wednesday's monumental upset. "Central played really well and deserved to win. I wouldn't use a letdown as an excuse. They just totally outplayed us."
While Dolphin, Gulyas and the Vikings were elated with their gold medals, it was bittersweet that they didn't get one final chance to defeat Emmaus. Central Catholic lost three one-goal contests to the Green Hornets this spring, including a disheartening defeat in the Lehigh Valley Conference championship match.
"Yes, we wanted to play Emmaus," Wydra said. "Being a senior, we've never beaten them once in four years. But the district title comes first and it's all good."
Central Catholic moves on to the PIAA tournament and will play the District 3 third-place finisher — Cumberland Valley or Wyomissing — in Wednesday's first round at Emmaus.
In the girls final, junior Colleen Ehrig came through with a clutch five-goal, two-assist effort to lead Emmaus past nemesis Nazareth. The Green Hornets were 3-0 vs. the Blue Eagles this season after losing each of four matchups last spring, including defeats in the league and district finals.
The Green Hornets (19-3) advance to the state playoffs for the first time in school history. Emmaus will play Springfield-Delco of District 1 in the first round Wednesday at Nazareth's Andrew Leh Stadium.
"I'm ecstatic," Emmaus coach Allison Moxey said. "We were excited to prove to ourselves that we could beat Nazareth. It always takes our A game against Nazareth."
Ehrig was the centerpiece of the offensive attack for the first-time district champions, but she had plenty of help. Junior Nicole Schmidt collected four goals and sophomore Sarah Kazmierski added three. Junior goalie Allison Haas provided her usual steady performance.
The Green Hornets never trailed, though Nazareth closed within one goal on several occasions.
"We have a lot of diversity on this team and that's a big key," Ehrig said. "I trust anyone on the offensive side of the field. We rely on each other. Today we scored a lot in transition."
Kaitlynn Wiltraut, a junior midfielder, led Nazareth with four goals and junior attack Rachel Repash contributed three. Junior Rachel Strzelecki was stout in the net for the third-seeded Blue Eagles, stopping 11 shots — many at point-blank range.
Nazareth coach Jennifer Nolan was disappointed with her team's play following an inspiring 10-9 overtime win over second-seeded Southern Lehigh in the semifinals.

Trying to keep up with all the confusing back-and-forth about the fiscal cliff and how it relates to federal education programs? Here’s your watchword as you read about various proposals: spending.
President Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. John Boehner, the speaker of the House, have been negotiating on the fiscal cliff, but right now, they’re not talking about specific programs. They’re just talking about broad categories: taxes, entitlements (like Social Security and Medicare), and ... spending cuts.
Spending—specifically domestic, discretionary spending—is the big, broad category that most K-12 programs, including Title I grants for districts, special education, and Head Start, get lumped into. The category also includes homeland security, environmental programs, heating assistance for the poor, criminal justice programs, and medical research.
For now, Boehner and Obama are talking about all those programs as if they are part of one big, monolithic block—they’re not getting as specific as an amount for “education” much less “Career and Technical Education Grants” or “Race to the Top.”
So where do we stand right now? The most recent proposal released by Obama would cut $100 billion in non-defense discretionary spending. But the proposed cuts—which would amount to about 2 percent of overall federal domestic, discretionary spending—wouldn’t kick in until towards the end of a ten-year period.
And the Obama proposal would get rid of “sequestration"—those automatic spending cuts that are set to hit just about every federal program, including Title I, special education, Head Start and other key education grants starting on Jan. 2 unless there’s a deal. (Everything you ever wanted to know about sequestration here.) The Obama proposal also would put up a “firewall” between domestic and military programs, so that Congress couldn’t decide to take all of the cuts out of just domestic spending (like education), said Joel Packer, the executive director of the Committee for Education Funding and an all around edu-budget smarty-pants.
The Obama proposal would also make permanent a host of tax credits that educators tend to like, including the American Opportunity Tax Credit (which helps cover the cost of college tuition), and the Qualified Zone Academy Bond program (QZABs), which helps fix up schools, as well as a tax-credit that helps teachers purchase supplies for their classrooms, Packer said.
So what has Boehner put on the table? He’s proposed an additional $300 billion in spending cuts, but it’s unclear how that would impact K-12. And now, the House of Representatives is set to vote on another proposal put forward by Boehner known popularly as “Plan B.” That proposal wouldn’t head off the automatic spending cuts, but it would avert a planned tax increase for anyone making under $1 million dollars a year. Obama’s proposal would keep tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush in place for everyone making under $400,000 annually.
The problem for groups like CEF—which represents everyone from the teachers’ unions to higher education associations—with Boehner’s proposal is that it doesn’t raise as much revenue as the president’s plan. That ultimately could mean less money for domestic discretionary spending, which could trickle down to less money for schools.
“The less revenue that’s raised, the more likely it is that there are going to be cuts,” Packer said. Of course, there are plenty of people who see room to cut in the department’s budget.
So what about the politics? Well, during a press conference today to announce his new school violence panel, Obama said it’s time for an agreement.
“It is a deal that can get done,” Obama said. “But it is not going to be—it cannot be done if every side wants 100 percent. And part of what voters [in the November election] were looking for is some compromise up here. That’s what folks want. They understand that they’re not going to get 100 percent of what they want.”
In response, Boehner made a blink-and-you’ve-missed-it statement to the media today, essentially saying that if President Obama doesn’t urge the Democratically-controlled Senate to take him up on “Plan B,” the president will be responsible for taking the nation off the cliff.
Here’s part of Boehner’s statement:
“Republicans continue to work toward avoiding the fiscal cliff,” he said. “The president’s offer of $1.3 trillion in revenues and $850 billion in spending reductions fails to meet the test that the president promised the American people—a balanced approach. And I hope the president will get serious soon about providing and working with us on a balanced approach.”
(Early-childhood educators: Does the back-and-forth between those two sound familiar to you?)
What happens from here? It’s anyone’s guess. But time is running out to avert the cliff. If Boehner and Obama reach a deal, rank-and-file lawmakers in Congress (who have largely been left out of negotiations) would have to decide what they think. All of that will take time—and January is right around the corner.
Why should you, as an educator, worry about all this? While most of the cuts for schools wouldn’t kick in until the fall, going over the fiscal cliff could lead to a short, temporary economic setback—or worse. That wouldn’t be good for state and local revenues, which is ultimately bad for schools.

Mary Sidney’s Literary Works
All of Mary Sidney’s works are available in The Collected Works of Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, 2 vols., ed. Margaret P. Hannay, Noel J. Kinnamon, and Michael Brennan, (Oxford: Clarendon, 1998).
You can find much of her work online at Luminarium.org
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Below is a list of Mary’s Sidney’s known work.
A Discourse of Life and Death, translated from the French original of Philippe de Mornay. Published as A Discourse of Life and Death, Written in French by Philip Mornay; Antonius: A Tragedie Written Also in French by Robert Garnier. Both done in English by the Countesse of Pembroke. London: printed by J. Windet for William Ponsonby, 1592.
Antonius, translated from Garnier’s French version.
The Tragedie of Antonie. Done into English by the Countesse of Pembroke. London: printed by P. (William Ponsonby), 1595. First published with A Discourse in 1592, separately in 1595. This is the first play in English written and published by a woman. It is a closet drama meant to be read aloud in an aristocratic home; Mary pushed the boundaries by actually publishing it.
Antonius. 1595 ed. (Tragedie of Antonie)
“The Doleful Lay”
Printed in Edmund Spenser’s Astrophel. A Pastoral Elegy Upon the Death of the Most Noble and Valorous Knight, Sir Philip Sidney, and attributed by Spenser to Mary Sidney. London: printed by T. Creede for William Ponsonby, 1595.
“A Dialogue between two shepherds, Thenot and Piers, in praise of Astrea”
Printed in A Poetical Rhapsody Containing, Diverse Sonnets, Odes, Elegies, Madrigals, and other Poesies, both in Rhyme and Measured Verse, ed. Francis Davison. London: printed by V. Simmes for J. Baily, 1602. Reprinted 1608, 1611, 1621. This is the first original pastoral poetry in English written and published by a woman.
The Psalmes of David (1590s). Manuscript only during her lifetime; not published until 1823. In her collection of 127 poems, she used 126 different verse forms.
“Even now that Care” and “To the Angel spirit of the most excellent Sir Phillip Sidney” (1590s).
“To the Angel Spirit,” an early version by the countess found with Samuel Daniel’s papers and erroneously included in The Whole Works of Samuel Daniel Esquire in Poetry. London: printed by N. Okes for Simon Waterson, 1623.
The Triumph of Death (1590s, transcribed 1600), translated from the Petrarch’s Italian. Mary was the first (and only for hundreds of years) translator to maintain the difficult terza rima form in which Petrarch originally wrote this lengthy poem.
Correspondence. Some of her letters are included in a contemporary volume of epistolary prose.

Dystopia is a total conversion for Half Life 2 currently under development by Team Dystopia. We are a collection of dedicated and talented gamers who are creating an action packed multiplayer game. Drawing on the themes and concepts of the Cyberpunk genre and implementing ideas born out of years of gaming experience with a diligently designed gameplay system, we hope to produce the next step in online multiplayer gaming.
Dystopia places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.
Whether the player is a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node; they'll be immersed in an action packed battle. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal we're making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

A recent article on MSN covered the alarming fact that the Earth’s freshwater reserves are disappearing.
“The myth of limitless water and the free-for-all mentality that has pervaded groundwater use must now come to an end. Society needs to turn to the agricultural sector for solutions. Agriculture accounts for nearly 80 percent of water use globally, and at least half of the irrigation water used is groundwater,” says NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory hydrologist James Famiglietti.
“Groundwater is layered in clay and sandstone. Removing the water,” says Doug Carlson, information officer at the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), “not only depletes the resource but often creates dangerous conditions of the earth sinking in on itself, which has already happened in parts of the state. Once that subsidence (collapse) happens, it’s lost forever and rainfall won’t replace it.”
This water shortage and the severe droughts that have been plaguing California for the last 13 years should be clear signs to people everywhere that we need to find solutions for conserving water on the planet.
One of the easiest and most effective ways for homeowners in drought regions to do their part in conservation is by switching from natural to artificial grass at their homes and businesses. Lawn maintenance is a massive water drain, requiring thousands of gallons of water to survive annually. In California, more than 50 percent of residential water use occurs outdoors. This is why some Southern California residents are taking advantage of the opportunity to beautify their lawns and save money at the same time.
There are turf removal rebate programs that offer homeowner cash for replacing their natural lawns. Currently, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is offering residents turf removal rebates starting at $2.00 per square foot. And with artificial grass options starting at $1.58 per square foot, some SoCal residents are actually making money by switching out to a more drought-friendly lawn option.
All homeowners need to take the time to consider their impact on this global issue. If you’re a homeowner considering a switch to a more drought-friendly lawn and you want to learn more about the process, be sure to check out our DIY Easy Install Guide. It runs through what to expect step-by-step so that you can make sure it’s the best solution for your family.

The quest for sustainable and renewable energy sources has led to a growing interest in hybrid energy systems that utilize both wind and solar power. These systems offer a promising solution for reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and meeting increasing energy demands.
What are the advantages of Hybrid Solar-Wind systems.
One of the key advantages of hybrid solar-wind systems is increased energy efficiency and reliability. Unlike standalone wind or solar systems, hybrid systems can provide a steady supply of energy even when conditions for one source are unfavorable. For example, during cloudy days, the wind turbine can still generate power while the solar panels are less effective. Additionally, by combining two renewable energy sources, the system can reduce the need for energy storage, as well as minimize the intermittency and variability of the energy generated.
And the disadvantages and challenges?
Despite the many benefits of hybrid solar-wind systems, there are also some disadvantages and challenges associated with their implementation. One of the main challenges is the cost, as hybrid systems can be more expensive to install and maintain compared to standalone wind or solar systems. Furthermore, the integration of different energy sources can also increase the complexity of the system, leading to potential compatibility issues
Hybrid solar-wind systems offer a promising solution for meeting our growing energy demands while reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Despite the challenges and disadvantages, the benefits of increased energy efficiency, reliability, and reduced intermittency make hybrid systems a compelling choice for a sustainable energy future.

My wife and I and our three adult children visited Cuba in April. We created our own itinerary and stayed in Casa Particular in La Havana, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba. As Josh Karliner so well describes in his essay, we found Cuba to be many things, some obvious and others less so. It is an Island of contradictions that has been shaped by its peculiar relationships with the world’s two superpowers. In each case, Cuba has had to struggle for its independence first from the U.S. in its post-colonial period and then from the USSR when the U.S. piqued at Cuba’s revolution and struggle for economic independence, blockaded it into the arms of the USSR. Our family has traveled throughout South and Central America and there is a vitality in Cuba and in the Cuban people that we rarely found elsewhere in the Americas. Everyone, whether they were totally with Fidel or a critic of the regime, spoke of their strength in surviving the blockade and the “Special Period”.
Their pride and love of what they accomplished, whether it was their amazing health care and educational systems, was obvious. Some of Cuba’s advances in health care, disease eradication, and cancer treatment have been truly revolutionary. At the same time, they were acutely aware of the contradictions inherent in their success, a success which was accompanied by relative poverty and lack of access to the U.S. consumer market. Many saw the potential changes associated with Obama’s shift as good but not enough. Yet, they welcomed the opportunity to continue to make contact with average Americans such as us. We too thought that the openings and opportunities for true interaction with Cuba and Cubans were likely to increase.
However, we recognized that Trump’s election could lead to a rollback of the Obama changes. Many people asked us what we thought Trump would do. Our typical answer was that he was so unpredictable but maybe, just maybe he might leave things in place as American business was benefitting from the new Cuban ties. Unfortunately, Trump couldn’t resist destroying a positive legacy from the Obama period.
We hope to return to Cuba in the next few years to stay with the people who hosted us and to explore places we were unable to get to during our two weeks. Cuba is an amazing place which has accomplished wonderful things and we hope that it continues doing what it does best.

Autumn - The Local Area
Autumn term has bought lots of change for year 3. We have studied a book called 'Just a Second' for our Take One Book week. We have written a non-chronological report all about tigers, and created a superb multimedia piece of art.
We will be investigating our local area in our topic 'Where Am I?'. This includes local author, Alex T. Smith, who has written the series of books called Claude. We will be learning about the history and geography of Nuneaton and wider local area. There will be an exciting school trip (keep your eyes peeled for letters!) where we will get to explore a certain factory that makes delicious goods...
Spring - The Stone Age
During Spring Term, we will study the Stone Age through our topic, 'What?! No Pants?'. This will begin our timeline of historical exploration at Middlemarch, giving us a strong foundation in how humans evolved into what we are today.
In English, our books will include 'Stone Age Boy' and 'Ug' in addition to non-fiction texts. The Stone Age is always a very popular subject amongst year 3, as they love to draw comparisons from life then to life now!
Summer - The Romans
During Summer, our topic is 'The Romans: How Will We Escape?'. We look at the history of the Romans, the expansion of the empire and their downfall. We look at the more gruesome aspects of Roman life; the army, becoming a gladiator, the state of sanitation amongst other things. We will be inviting a visitor this term, as a study of a Roman soldier's life.
The books we will read are Escape from Pompeii and Volcano, exploring the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD and it's devastating effects on the surrounding villages. As geographers, we will investigate how and why volcanic eruptions occur, and how experts in the field are trying to help us prepare for them.

What starts as a small lump can lead to big trouble.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and women 40 or older are advised to have their annual mammogram. Summerlin Hospital Medical Center, 657 N. Town Center Drive, and The Valley Health System are offering $50 mammograms all month.
Summerlin Hospital opened The Breast Care Center, which occupies 1,800 square feet, Oct. 1. The hospital has invested $750,000 in the new unit, including machines and build-out. It features the latest diagnostic imaging machines, including digital mammography and stereotactic biopsy capability.
"The digital equipment is so accurate, it can detect even small lesions," said Robert Freymuller, Summerlin Hospital CEO and managing director, adding that the new unit offers everything from testing to information.
"We wanted a place where it was all done at once, all in one center," he said.
Each year more than 1,000 women undergo mammograms, breast biopsies and breast surgery at the hospital.
Digital mammograms are achieved through Hologic’s LORAD Selenia system. While breast compression is still part of the procedure, the discomfort is lessened with cushioning. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 30 percent of analogue mammograms done nationally necessitate re-testing due to inconclusive results.
"As we live, we learn," said Dr. Souzan El-Eid, who heads the unit. "When we didn’t have digital, we didn’t know any better."
The machine determines whether a lesion fits into one of five categories, the highest category being "highly suspicious."
Those with suspicious lesions then step into the next procedure room for a biopsy. In the past, biopsies had to be scheduled, included sedation and left a scar as long as 3 inches. Stereotactic biopsies are done at The Breast Care Center with only a localized injection to numb the area and a needle inserted to extract cells from the suspect area.
It not only is less invasive, but it does away with the prolonged wait period that the old method heaped on women, a stress inducer for many patients.
"Once a woman is told her mammogram is suspicious, she wants the biopsy done yesterday," El-Eid said.
The Bard Encore is the latest generation of biopsy machines. The patient lies face down on the table, which has a circular hole in it. A local anesthetic is administered — a stick and a sting.
Once the patient is numb, the table platform can be raised, similar to an elevator. The doctor sits underneath it with the mammogram unit to the side. By not seeing the procedure, the patient is less aware when the needle goes in and the biopsy is taken. Once that’s done, the platform is lowered and the patient climbs off. It takes mere minutes.
The Breast Care Center also houses a Hologic Discovery Densa scanner, which addresses bone density. It can complete the scan in two minutes. Older units took 10 to 15.
Breast cancer patient Janet Brown has been diagnosed with cancer not once but three times. She found a lump in 2002 and learned she had stage 2 breast cancer. Then it was found to have metastasized to her liver in 2008 and to her neck this year.
While her first mammogram and ultrasound were done on the same day and in the same facility, she recalled having to wait two weeks to get into a separate place to have her biopsy done.
"Those two weeks were incredibly stressful," she said. "At least with knowing (having a diagnosis), you can have a plan of action."
Brown said having everything in one place, such as at The Breast Care Center, "would prevent a lot of stress and worry, especially when time is so imperative. Having them done all in one place, that’s an incredible improvement."
Summerlin Hospital said the center will be involved in clinical studies almost immediately. Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society also may play a part.
Screening results from the $50 mammograms will be mailed to the patient’s physician. The special price must be paid in full at the time of service and cannot be used in conjunction with any insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.
To schedule a screening, call 233-7203. For more information about The Breast Care Center, visit summerlinhospital.com.
