TMP-SMX Comparative Trial
This double-blind, randomized trial compared the safety and efficacy of atovaquone tablets with that of TMP-SMX for the treatment of subjects with HIV/AIDS and histologically confirmed PCP. Only subjects with mild-to-moderate PCP were eligible for enrollment.
A total of 408 subjects were enrolled into the trial. The majority of subjects were white (66%) and male (95%); the mean age was 36 years. Eighty-six subjects without histologic confirmation of PCP were excluded from the efficacy analyses. Of the 322 subjects with histologically confirmed PCP, 160 were randomized to receive 750 mg atovaquone (three 250-mg tablets) 3 times daily for 21 days and 162 were randomized to receive 320 mg TMP plus 1,600 mg SMX 3 times daily for 21 days. Therapy success was defined as improvement in clinical and respiratory measures persisting at least 4 weeks after cessation of therapy. Improvement in clinical and respiratory measures was assessed using a composite of parameters that included oral body temperature, respiratory rate, severity scores for cough, dyspnea, and chest pain/tightness. Therapy failures included lack of response, treatment discontinuation due to an adverse experience, and unevaluable.
There was a significant difference ( P = 0.03) in mortality rates between the treatment groups favoring TMP-SMX. Among the 322 subjects with confirmed PCP, 13 of 160 (8%) subjects treated with atovaquone and 4 of 162 (2.5%) subjects receiving TMP-SMX died during the 21-day treatment course or 8-week follow-up period. In the intent-to-treat analysis for all 408 randomized subjects, there were 16 (8%) deaths among subjects treated with atovaquone and 7 (3.4%) deaths among subjects treated with TMP-SMX ( P = 0.051). Of the 13 subjects with confirmed PCP and treated with atovaquone who died, 4 died of PCP and 5 died with a combination of bacterial infections and PCP; bacterial infections did not appear to be a factor in any of the 4 deaths among TMP-SMX-treated subjects.
A correlation between plasma atovaquone concentrations and death demonstrated that subjects with lower plasma concentrations were more likely to die. For those subjects for whom Day 4 plasma atovaquone concentration data are available, 5 (63%) of 8 subjects with concentrations <5 mcg/mL died during participation in the trial. However, only 1 (2.0%) of the 49 subjects with Day 4 plasma atovaquone concentrations ≥5 mcg/mL died.
Sixty-two percent of subjects on atovaquone and 64% of subjects on TMP-SMX were classified as protocol-defined therapy successes (Table 8).
|Outcome of Therapy a||Number of Subjects (%)|
|Atovaquone Tablets (n = 160)||TMP-SMX (n = 162)|
|Therapy failure due to:||28||17%||10||6%|
|-Lack of response||11||7%||33||20%|
|Required alternate PCP therapy during trial||55||34%||55||34%|
The failure rate due to lack of response was significantly higher for subjects receiving atovaquone, while the failure rate due to an adverse reaction was significantly higher for subjects receiving TMP-SMX.
Pentamidine Comparative Trial
This unblinded, randomized trial was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of atovaquone with that of pentamidine for the treatment of histologically-confirmed mild or moderate PCP in subjects with HIV/AIDS. Approximately 80% of the subjects either had a history of intolerance to trimethoprim or sulfa antimicrobials (the primary therapy group) or were experiencing intolerance to TMP-SMX with treatment of an episode of PCP at the time of enrollment in the trial (the salvage treatment group). A total of 174 subjects were enrolled into the trial. Subjects were randomized to receive atovaquone 750 mg (three 250-mg tablets) 3 times daily for 21 days or pentamidine isethionate 3- to 4-mg/kg single IV infusion daily for 21 days. The majority of subjects were white (72%) and male (97%); the mean age was approximately 37 years.
Thirty-nine subjects without histologic confirmation of PCP were excluded from the efficacy analyses. Of the 135 subjects with histologically confirmed PCP, 70 were randomized to receive atovaquone and 65 to pentamidine. One hundred and ten (110) of these were in the primary therapy group and 25 were in the salvage therapy group. One subject in the primary therapy group randomized to receive pentamidine did not receive trial medication.
There was no difference in mortality rates between the treatment groups. Among the 135 subjects with confirmed PCP, 10 of 70 (14%) subjects receiving atovaquone and 9 of 65 (14%) subjects receiving pentamidine died during the 21-day treatment course or 8-week follow-up period. In the intent-to-treat analysis for all subjects, there were 11 (12.5%) deaths among those treated with atovaquone and 12 (14%) deaths among those treated with pentamidine. Among subjects for whom Day 4 plasma atovaquone concentrations were available, 3 of 5 (60%) subjects with concentrations <5 mcg/mL died during participation in the trial. However, only 2 of 21 (9%) subjects with Day 4 plasma concentrations ≥5 mcg/mL died. The therapeutic outcomes for the 134 subjects who received trial medication in this trial are presented in Table 9.
|Outcome of Therapy||Primary Treatment||Salvage Treatment|
|Atovaquone (n = 56)||Pentamidine (n = 53)||Atovaquone (n = 14)||Pentamidine (n = 11)|
|Therapy failure due to:|
|-Lack of response||16||29%||9||17%||0||7%||0||27%|
|Required alternate PCP therapy during trial||19||34%||29||55%||0||4||36%|

text: Sunrise Orchards owners Chris and Barney Hodges met in 1989 while studying ocean biology and pollution aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer, a 134-foot-long brigantine that calls Woods Hole, MA, home port. After graduating college and trying out careers in geology and teaching, they followed their hearts back to the family farm and were inspired by the entrepreneurial and environmental challenges and opportunities that growing food offers. Since that day 25 years ago, they have weathered many ups and downs, become a mainstay of apple production in Vermont and the wider New England region, raised Sophie, Sam and Malia and continue to reinvent the farm, always striving to grow food responsibly, be good neighbors and take care of their beautiful corner of Addison County. Sunrise Orchards is 100% solar powered from growing to packing to refrigeration, and has been run by their own solar farm since 2016 and their refrigerated apple storage facility, Vermont Refrigerated Storage in Shoreham VT, has its own solar array that powers all of the cool rooms that safely hold the apples until we can eat them all! Our solar fields are also an abundant habitat for many pollinators, thanks to our friends at Bee the Change.

Once you have that stellar Gardner grin, it might seem like your orthodontic treatment is over. However, there are actually several stages of braces and Invisalign treatment, including the planning stage, the active stage and, finally, the retention stage.
Without the retention stage, which is when you wear a dental retainer (or retainers), you would experience shifting teeth and, eventually, you could need another round of orthodontic treatment. Wearing a retainer is the only way to maintain your braces or Invisalign results and lock your new smile in place so that it lasts a lifetime.
The Science Behind Teeth Shifting After Braces or Invisalign
During the active phase of orthodontic treatment, your braces or clear aligners exert continuous, gentle pressure. This stimulates the natural process of bone remodeling. The teeth-supporting bone and tissues break down and the periodontal ligaments loosen, allowing your pearly whites to move in the directions we want them to go. Don’t worry, the process is painless!
When your braces are removed, or you take out your final set of Invisalign aligners, the pressure is no longer there. It takes time for new bone and tissue to form and the ligaments to tighten back up in order to secure the teeth in their new positions. Before this happens, the teeth have a natural tendency to move back towards their old places.
When Do Teeth Stop Moving?
So, when do teeth stop moving? Do teeth continue to move after the age of 35? 45? Unfortunately, shifting teeth can strike at any age. If you had orthodontic treatment, teeth shifting can be more drastic if you don’t wear a retainer, particularly in the months following your treatment.
This is because the teeth want to revert back to their original positions. Even if you never had braces, Invisalign or Invisalign Teen, or you wore your retainer for a few years and then stopped using it, the teeth can continue to move after the age of 35 and beyond.
Studies suggest that there are natural age-related changes to the jaw and soft tissues that occur throughout our lives. While the most dramatic facial and jaw growth happens during childhood, it continues on a smaller scale in adulthood. Many people experience a natural deepening of the bite, as well as worsening crowding as they get older.
This is why Dr. Gardner, Dr. Tang and Dr. La Rochelle perform extensive treatment planning using high-tech diagnostic tools and cutting-edge orthodontic software before you start braces or Invisalign. They move the teeth into their ideal positions on a 3D model of your mouth and create a smile that complements your lips and face. They also account for how your face shape will change as you age, so that you always look and feel your best.
Aside from teeth shifting due to natural age-related changes or not wearing a retainer, teeth can continue to move as an adult due to:
If a permanent tooth is knocked out or extracted and not replaced, the teeth surrounding the gap will drift into the empty space. This can cause crowding, which is why it’s important to consider your teeth replacement options, such as a dental implant or dental bridge, soon after losing a tooth. This will stop the remaining teeth from shifting.
If not treated, gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can advance into periodontitis. Periodontitis, the more severe type of gum disease, may cause the loss of teeth-supporting bone. The bone loss then results in loose and shifting teeth and, in extreme cases, tooth loss.
As soon as you notice signs of gum disease like red, swollen gums, bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, gums that feel tender, bad breath and loose teeth, schedule a visit with your dentist. Gingivitis can be reversed with proper care. While periodontitis can’t be reversed, it can be managed to ward off further bone loss and teeth shifting.
Teeth Grinding and Clenching
Teeth grinding, technically known as bruxism, puts undue pressure on the teeth and gums and causes excessive wear of the enamel. As teeth are damaged, they can become shorter and changes in your bite, as well as teeth shifting, might occur. If you suspect you’re grinding or clenching your teeth, a custom oral appliance that’s worn at night may be needed to provide protection.
How an Orthodontic Retainer Prevents Teeth Shifting
So, the bad news is that the teeth can continue to move in your 30s, 40s and even in your senior years. The good news is that this is easily prevented by wearing a dental retainer after braces or Invisalign, as well practicing good oral hygiene and seeking treatment for issues like bruxism and gum disease.
A retainer is an orthodontic appliance that’s custom-made for you. It holds the teeth in place while that new bone we talked about forms and those ligaments snap back to how they were prior to treatment.
Your retainer is designed based on the position of your teeth when you finish treatment, and it retains them exactly as they are and doesn’t allow them to drift. Most patients can benefit from using their retainer for the rest of their lives though, eventually, you’ll likely only need to wear it a few nights a week.
If you didn’t have orthodontic treatment as a child or teen, but your bite is healthy and your teeth are relatively straight, a retainer could help stop teeth shifting.
In some cases, an orthodontist can create a retainer for you to wear to keep your teeth in their current positions. In other cases, if shifting teeth have led to unwanted changes in your bite and smile, braces or Invisalign treatment, followed by a retainer, can help you reclaim and maintain your straight teeth.
The Different Types of Retainers
There are a number of different types of dental retainers. The most common are:
A permanent retainer, sometimes referred to as a bonded retainer or lingual retainer, consists of a metal wire that’s cemented to the back of your teeth. It can’t be seen at all when you smile. As the name suggests, a permanent retainer is, well, permanent and stays in place until it’s removed.
A Hawley retainer is probably what comes to mind when you hear the word “retainer.” This type of dental retainer is comprised of an acrylic piece that sits against the roof or bottom of your mouth, depending on whether it’s an upper or lower retainer, and a thin wire that wraps around the teeth to hold them in position. Hawley retainers are removable.
Essix Retainers (Clear Retainers)
An Essix-type retainer is a removable, clear retainer made from a thermoplastic material that fits over your teeth like a mouthguard. Patients sometimes call clear retainers Invisalign retainers because they’re very similar to Invisalign aligners.
In fact, the makers of Invisalign do make a clear, plastic retainer called a Vivera® retainer. Clear retainers are by far the most popular option with our Richmond Invisalign and braces patients because they’re comfortable and virtually invisible.
When you finish your braces or Invisalign treatment, Dr. Gardner, Dr. Tang or Dr. La Rochelle will provide you with specific retainer instructions to ensure you’re able to prevent shifting teeth and keep your smile looking fantastic. However, in the meantime, to give you a better idea of what wearing and caring for a retainer entails, here are some general retainer instructions:
- If you have a removable retainer, or retainers, wear them according to the specific schedule you were given by Dr. Gardner, Dr. Tang and Dr. La Rochelle.
- We’ll show you how to put on retainers. To put in a clear retainer, make sure your teeth are clean, open your mouth and position the retainer with the opening facing the chewing surfaces of the top or bottom teeth, depending on whether it’s a top or bottom retainer. Push the retainer over the teeth so that it covers the entire dental arch. Bite down to make sure it’s completely in place.
To put in a Hawley retainer, open your mouth and position the retainer so that the top of the acrylic piece is facing the roof or bottom of your mouth and the wire is in front of your teeth. Gently push it into your mouth so that the wire wraps around the teeth and the acrylic is sitting against the top or bottom of the mouth.
- If you have a permanent retainer, make sure to be diligent about brushing around it and flossing under the wire since the wire can trap food and plaque.
- Clean your retainers at least once daily. Wondering how to clean retainers? Well, to clean a clear retainer or Hawley retainer, the easiest, most affordable solution is to simply brush the retainer with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse it with lukewarm water before putting it in your mouth. If your retainer needs some stronger cleaning power, brush it with a mild, unscented, clear dishwashing soap. You may also want to clean your retainer prior to storing it in its case to prevent bacterial growth and a bad smell.
You can deep clean retainers once a week or so if you find it necessary. Use a retainer cleaner or a DIY solution made by mixing one part water with one part distilled white vinegar. Soak the retainer for 15 minutes and then rinse it off.
- Always keep your removable retainer in its retainer case when you’re not wearing it. Pets love chewing on retainers and leaving your retainer on a napkin or tissue while you eat is a surefire way to accidentally throw it away.
- Never store your retainer in a hot car or wash it in hot water, especially if you have a clear, plastic retainer. Extreme heat can warp the retainer and affect its fit.
- Take your retainer out before eating or drinking anything aside from plain water. Clear retainers fit snug against the teeth and any food or liquid can get trapped under them and sit on the teeth for a prolonged period, increasing your risk of tooth decay and staining. Hawley retainers may get damaged if you chew with them in your mouth. It’s a good idea to thoroughly rinse your retainer with water after eating and before putting it back in.
- Bring your retainer with you to any check-ups at our office.
- If your Hawley retainer or plastic retainer gets damaged or you feel as if it needs to be adjusted, don’t try to adjust it yourself. Call our office and we’ll take care of it for you so that it can continue to hold your teeth in place. If your permanent retainer breaks or comes loose, contact us right away so that we can repair it.
- A question we get a lot is, should you wear your retainer if it doesn’t fit? While, yes, retainers are supposed to be tight at first, they shouldn’t be painful, and any tenderness and sensitivity will subside once you get used to wearing them. If you forget to wear your retainer for a few days, it will once again feel tight. If you can get it in without forcing it, then wearing it is fine and discomfort will go away when the teeth are back in place.
You should not wear a retainer if it doesn’t fit if it requires force to get it in. This can damage your enamel. Instead, give our Richmond orthodontics office a call and we’ll determine if it needs to be adjusted or you need a new retainer.
As you can see, wearing a retainer and caring for it properly will prevent teeth shifting after braces or Invisalign treatment. If you think you need a new retainer or you’d like to learn more about your options for braces or Invisalign in Richmond, Virginia, schedule a complimentary consultation at Gardner Orthodontics today!

Book 2 Chapter 21.6 - Can You Hear My Heart Beating?
Perhaps to curry favor with Piccolo who had just revealed the tip of the iceberg in terms of the power he controlled right now, a robust black man stretched out his body a bit before saying sinisterly, “Girl, I don’t care what kind of black saint or whatever you are. Since you came here, why don’t you let us properly ride you for a few days! Maybe I can first fuck you in the…”
After shouting at the black man, the silver haired elder looked towards Madeline, and with a sigh, he said, “If you had stayed in the Town of Trials, inside of your home field, no one would be able to do anything to you. Why did you decide to leave?”
Madeline continued to laugh and say, “Because your plans did not leave me with a choice, so I could only come here to kill you.”
The old man roared with laughter and said, “Madeline, this joke...

We’re really pleased to have teamed up with Juice Plus+ for this giveaway – we’re big fans of healthy living, and sometimes in our busy lives taking supplements is the easiest way to make sure we’re getting the right nutrients every day.

On top of which, all the ingredients in Juice PLUS+ are harvested when they are fully ripened. To manage this they have built their Juice PLUS+ juicing and drying plants very close to the farms where the foods are harvested, processing them while they are still fresh from the field.

And they provide you not just with important minerals and vitamins, they also contain the right amount of carbohydrates, protein, dietary fibre, and fat. Everything you need in one meal – so you’re well looked after!
And if it’s just a straight nutrient supplement you’re after, then the capsules might be for you; mix up the vegetable, fruit and berry options to gain the full range of nutrients; and the Chewables are great for kids too!
So we happily teamed up with the oh-so-lovely folks at Juice Plus+, and sorted out a great prize bundle for you; not one but THREE prizes up for grabs!
The first is a box of the Complete Shakes, both chocolate and vanilla flavours – plus a super-useful blender to mix them into dleicious smoothies before you leave the house in the morning.

About the Story
In this very short one-room game, you play as someone abducted to solve a series of related word puzzles.
21st Place - 15th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition (2009)
Number of Reviews: 4
Write a review
This is a pretty minimalist game. A cube appears with writing on it. Deciphering the writing gives you a command to use. This gives you new writing.
There are about 6 commands to puzzle out. Then the game is over. Every puzzle is based off of (Spoiler - click to show)taking one letter from each word.
Not much of a game, but interesting to word puzzle fans.
Gleaming the Verb is not one of those deep, immersive IFs that will take your breath away. It is however, a very interesting way to spend ten minutes. The game is set in a bare room. You are naked and carrying absolutely nothing, your only companion in the room is a cube. And so, the puzzle begins. There is only one puzzle and itís rather short. Once I understood the mechanics behind it, I was able to solve it relatively quickly.
I wouldnít call Gleaming the Verb a full-fledged IF. Itís more like a brain teaser set in interactive fiction format. The idea behind the puzzle is quite clever and you will definitely feel a pang of satisfaction at completing it. I would love to see more games of this kind from the author in the future.
A simple word puzzle of a game, without any meaningful IF elements. It also feels under-implemented, with parser "I don't understand that verb" messages your only feedback. The puzzle (and it is the puzzle) is moderately interesting, but the game is ultimately unsatisfying, and the experience has more of the throw-away browser game to it than it does IF.

Louis Rocco ate too much bread for decades, but didn’t realize that it was dangerous for his diabetes until he met a registered dietitian in August.
"I’m Italian, so I enjoy eating a lot of bread,’’ he said. But after he spoke to his dietitian and had a session at his local grocery store in Philadelphia, Rocco, 90, noticed a great health difference.
"Several changes in my diet, and eating less bread helped me bring down my sugar readings,’’ he said. "If only I knew about this in the past’’.
Around 15 million Medicare enrollees with chronic kidney disease or diabetes are qualified for the benefit, but only 100,000 recipients were paid to get counseling in 2017 by the federal health insurance program, and the latest billing data is available. But it does not include the 20 million enrollees in private Medicare Advantage plans.
Experts for health say that most people don’t know about the benefit so it is a lost opportunity for beneficiaries to improve their health, and also for the program to save money by preventing diseases from costly complications.
In the past 20 years the prevalence of diabetes has risen markedly, and as people get older the condition is more common.
The Medicare benefits
About 100,000 registered dietitians exist nationwide which is more than people need, said Krista Yoder Latortue executive director of Family Food in Philadelphia, which has employed around 50 dietitians including the one who met with Rocco. According to Medicare data, around 3,500 dietitians billed the program for nutritional counseling in 2017.
Not all doctors know about the Medicare benefit, which represents a problem because they should refer patients to a dietitian.
The benefit was approved by the congress in 2002, after studies found older patients who consulted a nutritionist got their health improved.
Starting from 2011 the counseling has been available without any extra costs to Medicare which has been covered by health provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
The first three hours of dietary counseling are been covered by Medicare in the very first year, where the following years Medicare is covering only two hours.
If a physician believes an additional nutritional therapy is necessary, the doctor can appeal to Medicare for it.
It’s important to talk to a dietitian
Larry Lipman, 70, of Falls Church, Va., said that he couldn’t believe when he learned this year he had diabetes, because he was thin and an active cyclist.
He went to his doctor and accepted going to see a dietitian with his wife, who is the one doing the cooking.
“It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed talking about the food I eat with the dietitian,’’ said Lipman, a retired journalist. "I also learned that I need to keep my carbohydrates down by avoiding rice,’’ he said. "I’m more cautious about what I eat now, and I try to avoid ice cream and Doritos.’’
Doctors who don’t advise patients to talk with dieticians are also responsible for their health.
“Doctors find it easier to prescribe a medicine to patients rather than giving them an advice to talk to a registered dietitian,’’ said Dr. Holly Kramer, a Chicago nephrologist and president of the National Kidney Foundation.
“I don’t understand why are we not using dietitians in our clinics for all these patients, obesity and diabetes are growing rapidly, and we are spending our money for things that mediate from the disease process such as dialysis, arthritis and amputations,’’ she said.
Getting nutritional counseling
Jennifer Weis, who is a registered dietitian in Philadelphia, says that Medicare covers only a limited amount of hours which is not enough in order to change the behavior in older people.
“Even though these limited hours are better than nothing, I’m not fully satisfied,’’ she said.
Doctors may not know all the options Medicare provides, since "It is difficult to keep up with covered and not covered benefits,’’ said Dr. Michael Munger, chairman of the American Academy of Family Physicians who practice in Overland Park, Kan. He said that doctors are not familiar with dietitians in their community because they don’t practice with a large health system.
To make things easier, Munger refers to his diabetes patients to a nurse practitioner in his office for nutritional information and counseling. His Medicare patients face a copayment for the service because the nurse nutritionist is not registered, and therefore not covered under the Medicare benefit.
Nutritional counseling is a Medicare benefit which is underused, even though it prevents health complications, there are also other underused benefits.
Less than 5 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are using 10 to 12 hours of diabetes self-management training benefit, which covers individual and group sessions that provide tips for, monitoring blood sugar, being active, eating healthily, taking drugs and reducing risks.
“It is a huge problem that the public trusts nutritional advice which is not fully correct,’’ said Yoder Latortue in Philadelphia. He also added “Everyone eats different foods and everyone has different opinions.’’
“The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sends out notices to health providers once a year but more information is needed,’’ said Lauri Wright, a Jacksonville, Fla., registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
A CMS spokeswoman said that around 10,600 registered dietitians have enrolled to treat Medicare Patients. She said that health providers were advised by the agency about the benefit and promoting it to enrollees on its website and annual handbook that they send to beneficiaries.
"People ignore it, because only two diseases are covered by Medicare and the rest aren’t,’’ said Wright.

Sometimes you just know a release will be good before you even hear it, and when the names on the tin are Calibre and CIA you can be pretty sure the contents will be worth your attention.
True to form, the maestro delivers four top notch new tracks for Total Science’s long running imprint, with Another and Believe It providing the soulful rollers, Posh Boy going in on the bassline grit and Dreamz Dub harnessing a playful dub bassline and ethereal pads for the EP’s deepest cut.
No surprises on this one then, but by now you should know if you worship at the altar of Calibre or not, and if you do his deceptively simple compositions haven’t lost their charm. Check out the clips below and look for this on vinyl and digital from September 18th.

RU sprints past Thurston, 66-25
Redford Union's girls basketball team put on a ball-distribution clinic during Tuesday night's 66-25 victory over visiting Redford Thurston.
Guards Shae Smith and Cashmiere Jones picked up 17 and 16 assists, respectively, to make life easier for leading scorer Renee Reed, who pumped in 28 points.
The Panthers' second straight victory improved them to 2-7 overall and 2-1 in the Western Wayne Athletic Conference's Red Division. Thurston, which was riding a two-game winning streak into the contest, dropped to 2-5.
"I liked the way we shared the ball and cut down on our turnovers," said Jones, who added nine points and seven rebounds. "We were smart with the ball and we shared it."
RU head coach Scott Purdy said Jones may never lead the Panthers in scoring, but she's without a doubt his team's catalyst.
"When she gets the ball in the middle of the court, I don't think there's anyone in our league who can guard her," said Purdy. "She makes good decisions and gets the ball to the right teammate.
"I don't have one true point guard with the offense we run. I trust both Shae and Cash and a couple other girls to play the 'one', depending on the situation."
Smith was a defensive wizard for the Panthers, netting six steals.
The Panthers led 14-8 after one quarter before turning on the jets in the second stanza when they raced to a 34-15 halftime lead. The hosts outscored the Eagles 15-6 in the third period.
"I thought we came out a little flat early on," said Thurston head coach Bob Ostrowski. "We were tied at 8-8 at one point in the first quarter, but I could tell by the shots were taking that we weren't running our offense like we can. I tip my hat to RU; they out-hustled us and out-played us.
Ivory Mamo led the Eagles with eight points. Megan Abela and Sydney Taylor both contributed six.
Sophomore guard Angelica Wellons and junior forward Kiyonna Hardin both provided energy off the bench for RU. Wellons netted 10 points and four steals while Hardin yanked down seven rebounds.
"Our girls work hard; I'm proud of them," concluded Purdy.
On Friday, RU upended Dearborn Heights Annapolis while Thurston defeated Clarenceville, 32-26. The Panthers' win was sealed by Jones, who sank all six of her fourth-quarter free throws.
Mamo fueled the Eagles' triumph with a team-high nine points.

I don’t have any low beans,I changed bulbes.changed relay, fuse good,I even changed switch,still no low beans. any answers?
Low ‘beans,’ eh? That’s a new problem. Surely, you want low beams, not beans. I’m just kidding. What year is your Cavalier? This will help us help you. Older ones used a pushrod in the steering column to actuate the switch, and they can be tricky to get properly aligned when the switch is replaced. Newer ones did away with that and had everything in the multifunction switch. Other things to check for are voltage at the sockets, corrosion in the sockets at the bulbs, switch, and relays, and part number on the bulbs if you have a newer Cavalier with dual filament bulbs. Hope this helps.
Have you consulted Heinz or the B&M company?
They might be more helpful on this topic than we could be.

SAN DIEGO — An admiral and captain in charge of U.S. naval units in Asia were removed from their commands due to loss of confidence in their abilities, the Navy said Monday.
They are Rear Adm. Charles Williams, who commanded Task Force 70, which has tactical control of U.S. ships in Asia, and Capt. Jeffrey Bennett, who led the destroyer squadron based in Japan.
This is the latest fallout from a deadly series of ship mishaps in Asia this year that killed 17 U.S. sailors and left at least two U.S. warships gravely damaged.
The move comes one day before the Navy secretary and chief of naval operations are scheduled to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the incidents.
On Aug. 21, 10 sailors died when the destroyer John S. McCain collided with a Liberian chemical tanker.
That followed the June 17 death of seven sailors when the destroyer Fitzgerald destroyer collided before dawn with a container ship.
Additionally, the San Diego-based cruiser Lake Champlain was hit by a South Korean fishing boat while deployed in Asia in May. The cruiser did not suffer major damage.
And in January, the Japan-based cruiser Antietam ran aground on shoals just outside its base in Yokosuka and spilled fluid into Tokyo Bay.
In addition to today’s announcements out of Japan, the Navy has also replaced its commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. That fleet, led by a three-star admiral, oversees all naval forces while they are in Asia.
Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin was removed from his job last month as an expression of loss of confidence. It was a somewhat ceremonial gesture; Aucoin was already scheduled to retire a month later.

Emerging Firms in BRIC Countries raise FDI to #1.3 Trillion in 2010
Global Strategic Enterprises, Inc for Peace and Prosperity- www.globalbelai4u.blogspot.com
World Bank Press Review
show details9:00 AM (2 hours ago)
This summary is prepared by the External Affairs Department of the World Bank. All material is taken directly from published and copyright wire service stories and newspaper articles. The daily summary and other news can be found on the World Bank’s external website at http://www.worldbank.org/news. For inquiries call (202) 473-7660 or send a written request to the News Bureau.
Emerging Firms Raise Foreign Investment To Record High: UN. “Companies from emerging and developing economies raised their global direct investment abroad to record levels last year, a UN economic think tank said on Wednesday. ‘The BRICs are the leaders,’ said James Zhan, the director of the investment division at the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), referring to emerging nations Brazil, Russia, India and China. UNCTAD said in its latest Global Investment Trends monitor that global flows of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) reached $1.3 trillion in 2010, an increase of 13 percent….” [Agence France Presse/Factiva]
France 24 adds that “…UNCTAD underlined a shift in the pattern of investment abroad with a more dynamic economic recovery in Asia and Latin America than in developed Western economies and a strong Russian corporate presence abroad. ‘Outward FDI from developing and transition economies has reached a record high both in absolute terms and as a share of the global total,’ Zhan said….” [France 24]
However, Reuters reports that “…risks are increasing, threatening the rebound in FDI, UNCTAD said. Risk factors include ‘unpredictable global governance’ amid financial reforms, sovereign debt crises, rising energy prices, inflation risks, and currency volatility, it said. ‘So all these factors may derail the current fragile FDI recovery,’ said Zhan. ‘Overall it is cautious optimism.’…” [Reuters/Factiva]
OECD Urges Governments To Tackle Rising Child Poverty. “More children are living in poverty-stricken households in the world's most advanced economies and governments must work harder to protect the most vulnerable, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said Wednesday. ‘Poverty in households with children is rising in nearly all OECD countries,’ the OECD said in its first ever report on family well-being, Doing Better for Families….” [Agence France Presse/Factiva]
UPI adds that “…OECD said families with children have replaced pensioners as the group most likely to be living in poverty. The OECD report said the percentage of children worldwide living in economically poor homes rose to 12.7 percent in the last decade even though birth and marriage rates have declined. One in five children, 20 percent, in the US, Mexico, Israel and Poland are considered to be living in poverty….” [United Press International]
FT writes that “…entering work does not guarantee that children in a low-income family will be free of poverty - indeed, in-work child poverty has been growing recently. But work forms a crucial part of tackling child poverty. OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said: ‘Family benefits need to be well-designed to maintain work incentives.’ But benefits must also protect the most vulnerable, ‘otherwise we risk creating high, long-term social costs for future generations.’…” [Financial Times]
World Bank Says China's Growth Prospects Strong. “The World Bank raised its growth forecast for China and urged the government Thursday to tighten monetary policy to avert risks from inflation and its surging real estate market. The Bank's 9.3 percent growth forecast, up from its earlier 8.5 percent outlook, reflected the government's struggle to rein in an overheated economy and cool surging prices….” [Associated Press/Factiva]
Xinhua adds that “…In the latest China Quarterly Update, a regular assessment of China's economy, the World Bank said that China's economic growth has remained resilient as the macro stance moved towards normalization and the economic outlook remains broadly favorable…. The report predicted another decline in the current account surplus in 2011 with the surge in raw commodity prices. However, whether the trend towards a lower external surplus and lower dependence on external trade will be sustained remains to be seen, said the report….” [Xinhua/Factiva]
Dow Jones writes that “…a rising yuan exchange rate should be a key policy tool for China to control inflation, and a one-off revaluation would be most effective both at fighting inflation and relieving capital inflow pressures…. A one-off appreciation of the yuan would have the biggest impact on prices, Ardo Hansson, the lead economist of the World Bank's Beijing office, told Dow Jones…. In addition, a sufficiently large one-off revaluation would introduce uncertainty as to whether the yuan is still undervalued, making speculation on the currency a ‘two-way bet,’ Hansson said. That would reduce the incentive to bring money into China, thus reducing capital inflows which are another underlying cause of money creation and inflation pressure in China….” [Dow Jones/Factiva]
Asian Economy To Grow Robustly Amid Inflationary Pressures: IMF. “Economic growth in the Asia and Pacific region is expected to remain robust in 2011, but the potential overheating pressures and the inflationary risks remain on the upside, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its Regional Economic Outlook released on Thursday. The overall economy is seen to accelerate gradually over the course of 2011, leading to annual growth for the region of nearly 7 percent in both 2011 and 2012, unchanged from IMF's October forecast last year….” [Xinhua/Factiva]
Dow Jones adds that “…the IMF said that high commodity prices appeared to be spilling over into core inflation and influencing public expectations of price growth. It noted that interest rates were below levels consistent with stable growth and low inflation, and urged that greater currency flexibility be used as a key line of defense against overheating. ‘While we expect inflation in many Asian economies to increase further in 2011 before decelerating modestly in 2012, inflation risks in Asia remain tilted on the upside,’ said Anoop Singh, director of the IMF's Asia and Pacific Department….” [Dow Jones/Factiva]
AP reports that “…the IMF said turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa could also pose a risk by causing further spikes in oil prices, which would shave economic growth in countries reliant on oil imports, such as China and Japan. Asian economies could also be affected if higher oil prices result in a global slowdown, which would result in a drop in demand from wealthy countries for their exports….” [Associated Press/Factiva]
China Census Shows Population Ageing And Urban. “China's census shows its population grew to 1.34 billion people by 2010, with a sharp rise in those over 60. Nearly half of all Chinese now live in cities and people over the age of 60 now account for 13.3 percent of the population, up nearly 3 percent since 2000. But the figures reveal that China's population is growing more slowly than in the past. That could affect the economy, as the number of potential workers, especially from rural areas, could shrink….” [BBC News]
AP adds that “…Wang Feng, a population expert and director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing, said the census results confirmed that China's population has turned a corner, with massive migration flows and a fertility rate of no more than 1.5 children per couple….He said the numbers showed that China has added about 40 million people aged 60 or older in the past decade. ‘We're looking at a province in China or a large country in the world and that's how many elderly people have been added,’ Wang said. ‘This is only the beginning of an accelerating process, given that fertility is so low right now, population aging will only get more serious.’…” [Associated Press/Factiva]
Bloomberg reports that “…China will eventually move to a two-child policy, the China Business News reported. Farmers and national minorities can often have more than one child, and rich people can pay fines for having a second or third child…. The one-child policy, which has led millions of women to abort female fetuses to have a prized male child, has resulted in men making up 51.3 percent of the population, with 34 million more men than women….” [Bloomberg]
Also in This Edition, Briefly Noted…Ghana's ministry of trade and industry has increased the price of seed cotton by 43.3 percent as part of the government's efforts to boost cotton production in the country, a statement by the ministry said. [Dow Jones/Factiva]
Drought has left more than 8 million people in the Horn of Africa short of food and water, and the number could rise sharply if funding to help them is not increased, the Consortium of British Humanitarian Agencies said on Wednesday. [Reuters/Factiva]
At least 2.4 million Somalis – 32 percent of the country's population – are in need of humanitarian assistance but with the ongoing conflict coupled with the current drought blighting crops and killing livestock, many more Somalis may fall into crisis, the UN warned on Wednesday. [Xinhua/Factiva]
The UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) on Wednesday said the region could establish a better cooperation strategy with the EU. [Xinhua/Factiva]

It's time to play catch-up on some of the latest junior formula news. In this week's edition I will recap the latest driver signings, publish my F2000 Championship preview, and summarize all the rest. As always, I hope you enjoy.
Make the jump for all the details...Skip Barber
Ashley Freiberg Becomes First Female to Win a Skip Barber Championship- Homer Glen, Illinois resident Ashley Freiberg became the first female driver to win a Skip Barber championship this past weekend by claiming the overall title in the Southern Regional Race Series. For those wondering, you can also watch her in the National Championship where she is competing in her second full season. She has done a nice job developing her craft and has really taken her time doing so - which is nice to see for a change.
USF2000 National Championship
USF2000 National Championship Adds Exhibition Round at Laguna Seca- The USF2000 National Championship officials have added an exhibition round (non-points) to the current schedule. The event will be held in late-May with the competitors running in front of the ALMS teams and fans. The Star Mazda Championship will also be competing that weekend, which should make for a pretty exciting weekend for anyone in Monterey, California.
Season Preview: F2000 Championship- As promised, here is the link to my F2000 Championship Series preview. The 2010 championship got underway this past weekend at Virginia International Raceway with Brazilian Victor Carbone taking the win in Race 1 and American Cole Morgan claiming the top-spot in Race 2. In case you missed any of the other season previews and want to catch up, you can do so here.
Tim Kautz Signs with Liberty Motorsports- Multi-time SCCA Champion Tim Kautz signed with Liberty Motorsports just prior to the F2000 Championship season opener. He finished 14th in Race 1 and 8th in Race 2. He qualified inside to top-ten in a 30+ car field during both sessions.
Daniel Erickson Signs with Primus Racing- Australian driver Daniel Erickson was another late addition to the VIR entry list. The 22-year-old driver was originally planning to compete in Star Mazda but was unable to secure adequate funding prior to the start of the season. Jon Baytos, of Primus Racing, decided to give Erickson a one-off opportunity in the F2000 Championship this past weekend. Erickson was extremely impressive in his debut, grabbing the pole position in both qualifying sessions. A misfiring engine cost him a near 3-second lead in Sunday's race relegating him back to 10th. It remains to be seen if he will return for the next round.
Joel Miller Planning a One-Off at Long Beach- American Joel Miller has signed with Andersen Racing for the Long Beach Indy Lights race. It's great to see Joel back in a race car and I'm hopeful that he will be able to come up with enough funding to run some more races this season.

“The Science of Being Human: Nature AND Nurture”
The Nature versus Nurture debate is out-of-date. In this public lecture series, members of The University of Western Ontario Psychology Department will share their research showing that humans are neither the exclusive product of our biology nor environment, but rather their interplay.
What: A lecture series aimed at showing how psychological science sheds light on what ‘makes us tick’.
When: The series takes place on four consecutive Thursdays (7-8:30 pm) in April 2012 (the 5th, 12th, 19th , and 26th).
Format: 60 minute talk followed by 30 minute Q and A.
Where: Central Library (251 Dundas Street), Stevenson & Hunt meeting Room A.
(Two hours of validated parking in Citi Plaza during library hours)
April 5: What can twins tell us about human behaviour?
Presenter: Dr. Tony Vernon
Why are some people more extraverted, more conscientious, more intelligent than others? Behavioural genetics is the scientific study of these individual differences, seeking to identify the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to them. I will illustrate how studies of twins have contributed to our understanding of personality.
Dr. Vernon studies individual differences in personality and mental abilities. The majority of his research deals with identical and fraternal twins
April 12: Children’s emotional development: Biological influences in social context
Presenter: Dr. Elizabeth Hayden
Decades of research indicate that children’s emotional styles (i.e., child temperament) are influenced by both biological and environmental factors, but how these influences interact is less well known. In this talk, I will discuss my research on how children’s biological characteristics shape, and are shaped by, their environments.
Dr. Hayden studies children’s emotional development as a function of biological factors and the early environment
April 19: How cultural experiences shape brain function: Evidence from reading and math
Presenter: Dr. Daniel Ansari
One of the hallmarks of our culture is the use of symbols such as letters and numbers. We are a symbolic species. In the present talk I will discuss how the brain becomes enculturated and how biology and culture interact in order to enable us to read and calculate.
Dr. Ansari studies how children learn basic number concepts and acquire arithmetic skills. He uses both brain imaging and behavioural methods in his research.
April 26: The effects of music on brain and body.
Presenter: Dr. Jessica Grahn
Music affects us in many ways, even before we are born. This talk will explore how our musical sense develops over time and the long-term effects of music on brain function.
Dr. Grahn investigates how music affects brain and behavior. Topics include: how music makes us move; how musical training changes brain structure, and whether music can benefit neurological patients. Her research involves both brain imaging and behavioural techniques.

Family, friends show support for teen charged in accident
Stanley is accused of manslaughter in connection with an April 29 accident on Interstate 84 that killed a 52-year-old woman. Police said Stanley was racing another man, leading to the fatal crash.
"I believe in my son 100 percent," said his mother, Colleen Stanley, a member of the Danbury Common Council. "I would lay down my life to prove it. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body."
The Rev. Gerry Waterman, who said he sees Jack Stanley and his family every week at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Danbury, remembers when Stanley got the pickup truck he drove the night of the accident. Stanley got the truck as a birthday present and was picking someone up from the church when he saw Waterman and asked Waterman to bless the truck, he said.
"I said to be safe and don't do anything crazy," said Waterman, who added, "I think the world of his family."
Stanley's pickup truck, a Ford F150, wasn't the vehicle that struck the 1997 GMC Jimmy in which Janine Wheeler, 52, was a passenger, police said. But Stanley faces nearly the same charges as John Morales, 23, of Bronx, N.Y., whose car did hit Wheeler's, because the pair were racing when the crash occurred, police said.
"It was his act of racing that contributed to the accident that resulted in the death," Connecticut State Police spokesman Sgt. J. Paul Vance said.
Stanley, 18, of Claremont Terrace, was arrested at school around 11:30 a.m. Thursday. He was held that night at the state police barracks in Southbury pending Friday's appearance in Danbury Superior Court.
His three brothers and their parents, Bill and Colleen Stanley, along with other relatives and Jack's girlfriend, attended the court appearance, where Stanley pleaded not guilty.
"He was not involved in the accident nor did he cause it," said Stanley's attorney, Michael A. Fitzpatrick of Bridgeport. "He was not drag racing or racing. He has no reputation for racing. I am absolutely shocked he was arrested."
Both Stanley and Morales face charges of first-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and reckless driving.
Investigators said the two were driving west at a high rate of speed, weaving in and out of traffic, when Morales' 2005 Acura collided with the Wheeler vehicle near Exit 2 about 6:40 p.m.
The Jimmy rolled over several times, spilling luggage across the highway before coming to rest on its roof, closing the highway for hours. Janine Wheeler and her husband, David, of East Windsor, were reportedly on their way to see their daughter, who has cancer.
Stanley allegedly left the scene and was charged with evading responsibility, two counts of carrying a weapon in a vehicle and racing.
The weapons charge stems from a knife and brass knuckles police allegedly found in his truck. Fitzpatrick said police seized the truck about 12 hours after the accident. The truck, owned by his father, who has a paving business, is part of a fleet of commercial vehicles, Fitzpatrick said, and anyone could have put the weapons in the truck during that 12-hour span.
Stanley posted $500,000 bail around 2:15 p.m. Friday. Looking upset and red-eyed, he was greeted by an anxious group of family and friends as he came out of the courthouse.
They gave him hugs and reassurances. His girlfriend rushed to his side.
"There couldn't be a more loved boy," said his aunt Alane Meehan of Brookfield.
"Jack is the boy you hope your daughter marries, the son you hope to have," she said. "He has a bright future."
Jeff Lima, 18, a Danbury High School senior, said after the accident, Stanley "was pretty shaken up" and wouldn't talk about it.
Stanley is not known to race, Lima said. He is usually with his girlfriend or his family.
Stanley works almost 30 hours a week for his father and coaches Little League with his father.
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton wrote a letter to the court that said Bill and Colleen Stanley "have proven to be outstanding citizens and proud members of our community" who have been active volunteers in many civic organizations, including youth baseball leagues.
Danbury Police Department Officer Robert P. DiNardo, a school resource officer at Broadview Middle School, wrote a letter saying he has know Stanley for eight years through school and coaching him in baseball. He believes Stanley has good character and "is a student who will be responsible for his actions. I sincerely hope he will be given serious consideration and understanding for his actions."
Another letter was from Danbury Town Clerk Joseph L. Scozzafava, who has known the Stanley family for years. In a telephone interview Scozzafava said the accident is "an unfortunate situation for everybody."
While he has no idea what happened, he knows everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
"I have faith in the legal system that the truth will come out," Scozzafava said.
Jack's friend Lima hopes so.
"This could ruin his whole life," Lima said.

Prices slashed by half as electrical retailers fight for sales
By SEAN POULTER
Last updated at 22:00 25 May 2007
supermarkets moved to snatch business from High
Street electrical giants.
The impact of competition from the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer – coupled with rapid advances in technology and a
shift in production to China – has seen prices tumble.
Retailers such as Currysdigital, Dixons, Comet and Argos are advertising savings of up to 50 per
cent on everything from flat-screen TVs to digital telephones.
According to research by the web bank Egg, the cost of electrical appliances has fallen by just over 50 per cent in the past ten years.
The net effect is that DVD players can now be bought for less than £20 and a basic MP3 player for £5.
Scroll down for more ...
The deals at Comet include 50 per cent off a Morphy Richards bagless upright cleaner, bringing
down the price to £99.99.
It has also slashed the cost of a 40in Sony HD-ready LCD TV with integrated Freeview by £700 to
£799.99, while a Panasonic digital camera is half-price at £129.99.
The deals at Currys include a Panasonic 32in HD-ready digital LCD TV with digital DVD recorder
and stand at £699 – a saving of £360. Meanwhile, a Siemens S455 digital cordless telephone with
answer machine has £15 off at £54.99.
Argos’s deals include a 32in LG LCD HD-ready TV at a £50 saving of £499.99. A pink Apple iPod
shuffle is down from £55 to £49.
The supermarkets are following the trend of the U.S. retail chains, specifically Wal-Mart, which have moved way beyond food sales.
While at one time the supermarkets were limited to little-known manufacturers, they have now struck deals with some of the biggest brands.
Sainsbury’s was yesterday offering a Hotpoint WD440 washer-dryer on its website for £297, which is substantially less than Comet’s web
price of £347 and its in-store price of
£379.99. The saving equates to 14.4 per cent on the Comet web price and almost 22 per cent on the High Street price.
Sainsbury’s also had a Hotpoint fridge freezer at £339, which is a price cut of £40. The same product in Currys or Dixons is £499.95.
Tesco deals include a Sony 32in HD LCD TV at £649.97. This is £20 less than on Comet’s website and a saving of £40 on its store price.
The supermarket is offering a Sony mini hi-fi for £99.97, which it boasts is a saving of £45. The same product on Comet’s website is £126.
The scale of the savings available with the supermarkets changes depending on the delivery charges that are applied, however they remain significant.
Deals at Asda range from a third off the price of an Electrolux bagless vacuum cleaner, bringing it down to £57.55, to 19 per cent off a
Bosch fridge freezer, taking it to just under £300.
An Egg spokesman said: "Rather than being for the privileged few, the low cost of technology has meant it has increasingly become an essential part of most people’s lives.
"Consumers have embraced technology as a lifestyle enabler, using gadgets to organise and control our lives."

Discover our new releases: June 8th!
Franz Joseph Haydn
Haydn 2032, Vol. 6
The year 2017 was a vintage one for Giovanni Antonini: he was awarded an Echo Klassik, two Gramophone Awards and a Diapason d’Or of the Year for his recent releases. Two of these prizes distinguished ‘Il Distratto’, volume 4 of the complete recording of the Haydn symphonies on which he embarked for Alpha in 2014. For the sixth volume, released in 2018, the Milanese conductor is again joined by the Kammerorchester Basel, which shares the project with Il Giardino Armonico and which he knows very well, since he conducts it regularly and they have made many recordings together, including volume 5 of the Haydn series. This volume focuses on symphonies with a ‘sacred’ inspiration: the Symphony no.26, ‘Lamentatione’, was composed in 1768 for Holy Week, and no.30 was nicknamed ‘Alleluja’ after the plainchant melody Haydn uses in it. Symphony no.41 was written in 1769.
Ensemble Masques, Olivier Fortin
Vox Luminis, Lionel Meunier
The Abendmusiken were a legendary concert series organised by Buxtehude in Lübeck. Even Johann Sebastian Bach travelled a long way to attend these concerts of sacred and instrumental music and met the master Dietrich Buxtehude, the most famous organist in Europe. To mark the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, Vox Luminis and the Ensemble Masques have come together to perform a programme of cantatas (Gott hilf mir, denn das Wasser geht mir bis an die Seele, BuxWV 34 | Befiehl dem Engel, dass er komm, BuxWV 10 | Jesu, meine Freude, BuxWV 60 | Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr, BuxWV 41) and instrumental pieces (Sonatas BuxWV 255 and 261). The recording assembles leading specialists of this repertory, with the expert voices of Vox Luminis combining with the vitality of the instrumentalists of Ensemble Masques.
Thomas Dunford continues to expand his discography on Alpha with a programme of solo lute works by J.S. Bach, recorded in the ideal surroundings of the Salle de Musique of La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. He performs an original composition by Bach for the lute, the Suite in G minor BWV 995, as well as his own arrangements of the (Cello) Suite BWV 1007 and the famous Chaconne from the Partita BWV 1004 – the latter piece has a notorious reputation for being (virtually) unplayable, at least on the violin!
The German soprano Juliane Banse has sung the Lieder of Brahms, Schubert, Wolf, Ullmann, Strauss, Schumann, Loewe and Berg, earning a reputation for both the quality of her interpretations and the warmth of her timbre. She and her regular partner Martin Helmchen, who has just joined Alpha, have chosen to record Paul Hindemith’s song cycle Das Marienleben, composed in 1923 and revised by the composer in 1948. A bewitching, sometimes disturbing cycle whose texts, taken from the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke, retrace the life of the Virgin Mary. Fifteen poems, fifteen episodes tinged with mysticism and lyricism. They proved to be the ideal inspiration for Hindemith, whose compositional style here draws on both the power of Wagner’s operas and the subtle nuances of Debussy.
Piano Quintets / Bagatelles
Miguel Da Silva
After two earlier Dvořák releases, the Trios nos.3 and 4 (Dumky) and the two Piano Quartets, Omri Epstein, Mathieu van Bellen and Ori Epstein are joined by one of their teachers at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, the violist Miguel da Silva (founder member of the famous Quatuor Ysaÿe) and the violinist Maria Milstein, who was also an artist in residence at the Music Chapel from 2011 to 2014. Together they continue this recording of the Czech composer’s complete chamber music with keyboard, this time in the two Piano Quintets and the Bagatelles. There is an obvious close rapport between these musicians, who share with us their passion for this repertory and their enjoyment of playing together. A gap of fifteen years separates Dvořák’s two Piano Quintets, which have few features in common except a shared home key: the first marks the debut of a youthful composer, while the second shows him at the peak of his art. The Bagatelles, originally scored for two violins, cello and harmonium, are among his bestknown short pieces. A recording scheduled for release in autumn 2018 will complete this quadriptych of Dvořák’s piano trios, quartets and quintets.ISTEN / BUY
L'amoroso e crudo stile
Luca Marenzio was the most brilliant representative of the sublime art of the madrigal during the last twenty years of the sixteenth century. Whereas the style of his early works is light, fluid and transparent, in his maturity Marenzio’s language turned towards a more complex, introspective attitude that made him the most emblematic musical exponent of Late Renaissance melancholy. L’amoroso & crudo stile brings together some of Marenzio’s finest madrigals, aiming to reproduce the most intimate expressive facets of a music of extraordinary beauty and profound humanity.With the emotional intensity and deep respect for the poetic text that distinguishes the ensemble, RossoPorpora begins in this debut recording its personal exploration and celebration of the madrigal, the earliest and still unsurpassed representation of Italian musical identity.
With Nuances, pianist Jeremy Hababou gives us an album of stripped-down, sometimes minimalist, pieces, the reflection of an aesthetic profoundly rooted in his personality. As he likes to say, 'technical mastery of an instrument does not suffice for becoming an artist. Being an artist precedes artistic discipline. Above all, it is a necessity, a sensibility, another way of looking at the world, a quest.' Whilst his approach and compositions are inspired by literature, poetry, the visual arts, and philosophy, Jeremy Hababou also borrows from the classical repertoire. These references are perceptible throughout his work, even though they take varied forms of expression. Travel constitutes a common theme in his progression, attesting to a constant need for sharing, exchanging, feelings and emotions. The mixtures of rhythms and colours present throughout the album are so many invitations to 'go further' and discover an unknown made up of surprises and astonishments.
