RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina regulators are joining with Duke Energy in appealing a judge's ruling on cleaning up groundwater pollution leeching from the company's coal ash dumps.
The state Environmental Management Commission filed notice Monday that it intends to appeal a March 6 ruling by Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway.
The commission and Duke contend North Carolina law does not give the state the authority to order an immediate cleanup. Ridgeway ruled the state had been misinterpreting the law for years.
Environmentalists say the decision to file an appeal directly conflicts with public statements from Gov. Pat McCrory suggesting his administration is getting tough with his former employer after a Feb. 2 coal ash spill that coated 70 miles of the Dan River in toxic gray sludge.
McCrory, a Republican, worked for Duke more than 28 years prior to retiring to run for governor. The nation's largest electricity company and its employees have remained generous political supporters to McCrory's campaign and GOP-aligned groups that support him, providing more than $1.1 million in support since 2008.
Though the governor directly appointed eight of the commission's 15 members, McCrory spokesman Josh Ellis said the panel operates independently of the administration. The remaining seven members were appointed by state House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger, both Republicans.
"The commission does not report to the governor," Ellis said.
Ellis declined to say whether the governor disagreed with the decision made by his appointees.
Charlotte lawyer Benne C. Hutson, whom McCrory appointed as the commission's chairman in July, said Tuesday that he recused himself from the special April 3 closed-session meeting where Ridgeway's ruling was discussed. Hutson said his law firm represents Duke, which presented a conflict of interest.
Vice Chairman Kevin C. Martin, a McCrory appointee who presided over the meeting, said he couldn't discuss matters under pending litigation or any legal advice the commission received. However, he said a concern with Ridgeway's ruling is that it wouldn't just affect Duke, but potentially thousands of other state-permitted wastewater lagoons in North Carolina.
He said staff from the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources advised the commission without taking a position on the issue.
"No one told us how to vote," he said.
On the same day the state commission met behind closed doors, Duke filed its notice appealing Ridgeway's decision. The company also asked the judge to delay enforcement of his order until the N.C. Court of Appeals rules. Ridgeway declined.
The latest legal tussle comes after a coalition of environmental groups moved last year to sue Duke under the federal Clean Water Act over its groundwater pollution.
After state officials met with the company's chief lobbyist, the state environmental agency used its authority to file environmental violations against all of Duke's 33 coal ash pits across the state. The agency, represented in court by the office of Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper, then quickly proposed a settlement that would have fined Duke $99,111 over pollution at two of its plants with no requirement that the $50 billion company take action to clean up its pollution.
Environmentalists criticized the deal, which they contend was intended to shield the company from harsher penalties it would have likely faced in federal court. McCrory has denied his former employer received any preferential treatment from his administration.
The state agency withdrew from its proposed agreement with Duke following increased public scrutiny in the wake of the Dan River spill.
"Just a week after the state publicly abandoned its sweetheart deal with Duke and promised to 'enforce' the law, it has appealed a judicial ruling that confirmed the state's legal authority to enforce a real solution for coal ash contamination," said D.J. Gerken, a lawyer for the Southern Environmental Law Center. "We're disappointed that this administration remains so determined to delay through litigation rather than move forward to stop ongoing pollution of North Carolina's rivers, lakes and groundwater."
Federal prosecutors have filed at least 23 grand jury subpoenas as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the relationship between state regulators and the company prior to the spill.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A retired judge accused of soliciting bribes for former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor misconduct, apologizing for what he said were injudicious comments but maintaining he was the innocent victim of a political witch hunt.
Former state district Judge Michael Murphy entered the plea under a deal with prosecutors that dismissed four felony charges and ended a high-profile case that shocked the judiciary two years ago when GOP prosecutors alleged the bribes were part of a long-running practice for picking judges in southern New Mexico.
Under the plea bargain, Murphy was given a 364-day suspended jail sentence, ordered to do 200 hours of community service and barred from ever again holding public office or entering the state district court building in Las Cruces.
Murphy's indictment followed one of a string of investigations into alleged pay-to-play activities with ties to Richardson, a Democrat, over the past five years.
It was the only case that resulted in criminal charges. Richardson has called the allegations "outrageous and defamatory."
Special Prosecutor Matt Chandler said he believes he could have won a conviction on the felony charges, but that he agreed to let Murphy plea to the lesser charge because he believes that given Murphy's age and health issues, it was unlikely he would have faced a stiffer sentence. Additionally, he said, with a plea agreement Murphy is unable to appeal the conviction.
"We have removed him from the bench and he will forever be a convicted criminal," Chandler said following the hearing. "This is a just solution for the citizens of Dona Ana county and the defendant."
But defense attorney Michael Stout told the judge that Murphy "couldn't get convicted because this is not true. And this is a politically motivated witch hunt. But we know there was no witch found."
Stout said Murphy was a loud mouth who "said things to get people's attention. That's his biggest problem."
"The most damaging facts against Judge Murphy were not crimes at all but were instead boorish, ill-advised and impolitic comments made in private conversations," Stout said. "While his comments surely gave an opening for criticism, Judge Murphy's private conduct did not call for the treatment he received."
As a result of the charges, he said, Murphy has lost his income, his retirement and health benefits.
The allegations date to 2007, when potential judicial candidate Beverly Singleman said she sought advice from state District Judge James Martin on how to get her name on the list for appointment to a vacancy on the bench.
During a lunch with Martin and Murphy, Singleman said Murphy told her she needed to make weekly contributions to a democratic activist, who funneled the money to then-Gov. Richardson. Singleman reported the allegations to state District Judge Lisa Schulz, who reported them to authorities.
Republican Gov. Susana Martinez was Dona Ana County district attorney at the time and running to replace Richardson when she appointed Chandler, district attorney for Curry and Roosevelt counties, as special prosecutor to investigate the case.
Richardson was not running for re-election because of term limits, but Martinez campaigned hard on cleaning up corruption in state government and made Richardson the poster child for everything that was wrong in New Mexico.
Chandler insists the investigation was not politically motivated.

This post was written as an assignment for Professor Cindy Shearer's CIA 7091, Interdisciplinary Arts Workshop. As part of a community of artists working across art perspectives, students in this course get the chance to present their work and teach each other about their art form(s), practice, lineage and influences, and are challenged to inquire into the interdisciplinary arts as well as forms new to them.
I am an Artist because I create. I believe everyone has a creative source that fuels them, but they don't necessarily call it art... although it is art. Creation = Art. How can it not be? When we write, paint, photograph, film, sing, dance or speak about trees and flowers, are we saying that our product is art but nature's product is not? Art is in the breath of a newborn, the pan of a chef, the scissors of a hair stylist, the stillness of death. Life = Art and Art is life. As a neo-feminist pagan witch I try to see beauty in everyday things. I love to view the choreography of birds and people crossing the street. I could make a dance theater piece about many aspects of everyday life; however I choose to make art about women's issues. I feel if I made art about everything I see I would be overwhelmed with possibilities. I need to be somewhat in control of what I choose to frame in my world as an Artist!
"Eclipse Dance Theater 1995 - 2000" on Facebook >>
I am informed by my belief that everyone can dance, sing, act, draw, paint, but they choose not to because they are drawn to another medium; a medium that we "Artists" probably would not consider a medium. Do we think we are special? Gifted? Yes I do. As an Artist, I have an overactive ego and I need to believe I can do a singular thing, like colliding dance and theater, better than anyone else. I guess it's my fatalistic perspective that this rises from; I believe that we are all here to do one thing, and that one thing will change the world; a kind of divination if you will.
Creation for me happens to be in the collision of things. I like to collide mediums and personalities and facilitate the collaboration of resolution/revolution into a performance piece. I also like to violently edit to strip the material down to its essence. So if I seem abrupt, I am embodying the truth of my experience.
An interview with the artistic director of Eclipse Dance Theater, Samantha Blanchard, about the making of her first one woman show, Renee >>
My art form is Dance-Theater and that began in 1995 with the collision of sound and movement, but has progressed or processed through dance and theater/text, free writing to collaboration for conflict resolution, to consciously pushing boundaries to extend or expand the artist's reach. Right now I am interested in working with rock and roll musicians, actors, all genres of dancers, and singers.
"Eclipse Dance Theater 2004 - 2009" on Facebook >>
What's brewing in my pot next is a piece on suicide inspired by the recent romantic meme of Mozart writing himself to death. On more investigation there are theories that he was a hypochondriac and took an overdose of antimony trying to rid himself of an imaginary illness. However, his wife held that he was riddled with guilt over his father's death and that is what ultimately killed him. So that pushes me to ask the question "what would make you kill yourself?"
This brings me full circle back to I am an Artist because I create. Is it also art to destroy? To destroy, of all things, yourself? I am struggling with the duality of things and starting to wonder if we truly mimic nature and if art is life then art must also be death. I am interested in the fact that when we create no one asks why. Why was that baby born? Why did I make such a beautiful painting? Why are the mountains so beautiful? But when we destroy, or die there are many questions. Why now? Why me? Why him and not me? And this is where we forget to see art as death. We want to cut death out of the cycle of life and hopefully that will make us happy.
My journey for the next year and a half at CIIS is to continue to embrace the shadow and give it a voice so that we cannot consciously continue to deny the inevitable and in this way bring some integration and healing to the community.

I just read the sad news that 51-year-old Susan Butcher passed away on Saturday. She died at the University of Washington medical center where she was undergoing treatment for leukemia.
Not long after her fourth Iditarod win I had the good fortune to meet Butcher. She spoke at a scholarship banquet before I headed off to Colorado State University, the same school Butcher attended. Her speech was a wonderful send-off for a group of young scholars setting out on our college careers. One of the most inspirational things she had to share with us is how she set out at 19 to become a dog sled racer as a career. It was a tall order since there was no such thing when she set out on that trail.
Sad news, indeed.

Anolis proboscis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Anolis proboscis Peters & Orces, 1956
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Mayer, G.C. & Poe, S.
|Böhm, M., Collen, B. & Ram, M.
|De Silva, R., Milligan, H.T., Wearn, O.R., Wren, S., Zamin, T., Sears, J., Wilson, P., Lewis, S., Lintott, P. & Powney, G.
Anolis proboscis is a forest specialist with a restricted range. It is listed as Endangered because its known extent of occurrence is no larger than 200 km2, its area of occupancy was estimated as 33 km2 and all individuals are in fewer than five locations, as individuals have so far been found in only four locations, predominantly in vegetation along a single stretch of road. There is a continuing decline in the quality of its habitat due to logging, grazing and other human pressures, which is likely to cause declines in this species. More research is needed on the distribution and population of this species, as it may also be found in provinces to the north and south of Mindo, based on available habitat. Protected areas covering this species' distribution need to be established and population monitoring is recommended.
|Range Description:
|This species is known from mid-altitudes of western slopes of the Andes in Pichincha, Ecuador, from four localities around the town of Mindo, Pichincha province (S. Poe pers. comm. 2010, J.B. Losos pers. comm. 2010, Yánez-Muñoz et al. 2010). The furthest localities are only 13 km away from each other. Searches for the species in other areas around Mindo, including areas of better forest habitat, have not yet found any new localities (S. Poe pers. comm. 2010). However, the theoretically probable range of this species may be much larger, but confirmation of this depends on individuals being found in new localities. For example, it may also occur further north in the province of Imbabura and further south in the provinces of Cotopaxi and Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas (Yánez-Muñoz et al. 2010). Its currently known area of occupancy was estimated as 33 km2 (Yánez-Muñoz et al. 2010), and the estimated extent of occurrence is no more than 200 km2 (based on a maximum distance of 13 km between the furthest localities). All known individuals of this species are found in fewer than five locations. It has been found from altitudes ranging between 1,200 and 1,650 m above sea level (S. Poe pers. comm. 2010, Yánez-Muñoz et al. 2010).

|There are no population data available for this species. However, the species was found to be relatively abundant at some localities (J.B. Losos pers. comm. 2010).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found in montane forest habitat. The areas around Mindo, where this species has been collected, are made up of pasture land and secondary forest; however this species has been predominantly found in vegetation along a road (S. Poe pers. comm. 2010). It is a slow-moving, cryptically coloured species that occurs high in trees (J.B. Losos pers. comm. 2010). This species is named for its proboscis, an appendage extending from its snout, which is used in courtship.
|Major Threat(s):
|The area in which this species is distributed has experienced major habitat loss due to logging, human settlement, agriculture, and grazing. This is likely to cause declines in this species, as due to its small range, it is more vulnerable to habitat alteration (J.B. Losos pers. comm. 2010).
|Conservation Actions:
|No conservation measures are currently in place for this species. Research is required to ascertain whether the species ranges beyond the region of Pichincha, Ecuador, and as this species has a restricted range new protected areas should be established. Research and monitoring is necessary to establish the population trend of the species.

Durgerdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)
Durgerdam, a small town near Amsterdam, in the Dutch province of North Holland, was an Anabaptist center as early as 1534. Shortly after there must have been a congregation, of which the martyr Willem Jansz, executed at Amsterdam on 12 March 1569, was a member. Leenaert Bouwens baptized 11 persons here about 1565. Later the congregation joined the Waterlander Conference in North Holland. In 1675 the membership numbered 100. In 1687 the church burned down, but was rebuilt soon after. Continuously during the 18th century there was no minister and the membership decreased rapidly. In 1727, 1733, and 1736 the small congregation generously contributed to the Dutch Committee of Foreign Needs to help the Prussian Mennonites. In 1817 the congregation was dissolved; an amount of 6,000 guilders that was the property of the church was turned over to the Waterlander (Rijper) Societeit.

The Lives of the Saints.
May 17
St. Paschal Baylon, Confessor
From his two lives, one written by John Ximenes, his companion; the other, in order to his canonization. See other monuments in Papebroke, t. 4, Maij, pp. 48, 132.
of poverty was honoured by the choice of our blessed Redeemer, and hath been favoured with his special blessing. It removes men from many dangers and temptations, and furnishes them with perpetual occasions for the exercise of self-denial, patience, penance, resignation to the divine will, and every other heroic Christian virtue: yet these great means of salvation are by many, through ignorance, impatience, and inordinate desires, often perverted into occasions of their temporal and eternal misery. Happy are they who by making a right use of the spiritual advantages which this state, so dear to our divine Redeemer, offers them, procure to themselves present peace, joy, and every solid good; and make every circumstance of that condition in which providence hath placed them a step to perfect virtue and to everlasting happiness. This in an eminent degree was the privilege of St. Paschal Baylon. He was born in 1540, at Torre-Hermosa, a small country town in the kingdom of Arragon. His parents were day-labourers, and very virtuous; and to their example our saint was greatly indebted for the spirit of piety and devotion, which he seemed to have sucked in with his mothers milk. Their circumstances were too narrow to afford his being sent to school; but the pious child, out of an earnest desire of attaining to so great a means of instruction, carried a book with him into the fields where he watched the sheep, and desired those whom he met to teach him the letters; and thus in a short time, being yet very young, he learned to read. This advantage he made use of only to improve his soul in devotion and piety: books of amusement he never would look into; but the lives of the saints, and above all, meditations on the life of Christ, were his chiefest delight. He loved nothing but what was serious and of solid advantage, at a time of life in which many seem scarcely susceptible of such impressions. When he was of a proper age, he engaged with a master to keep his flocks as under shepherd: he was delighted with the innocent and quiet life his state permitted him to lead. That solitary life had charms for him. Whatever he saw was to him an object of faith and devotion. He read continually in the great book of nature; and from every object raised his soul to God, whom he contemplated and praised in all his works. Besides external objects, he had almost continually a spiritual book in his hands, which served to instruct and to inflame his soul in the love and practice of virtue. His master, who was a person of singular piety, was charmed with his edifying conduct, and made him an offer to adopt him for his son, and to make him his heir. But Paschal, who desired only the goods of another life, was afraid that those of this world would prove to him an incumbrance; he therefore modestly declined the favour, desiring always to remain in his humble state, as being more conformable to that which Christ chose for himself on earth, who came not into the world to be served, but to serve. He was often discovered praying on his knees under some tree, whilst his flocks were browsing on the hills. It was by this secret entertainment of his soul with God, in the most profound humility, and perfect purity of his affections, that he acquired a most sublime science and experience in spiritual things, at which those who were the most advanced were struck with admiration. He could truly say with David: Blessed is he whom thou thyself shalt instruct, O Lord.
He spoke of God and of virtue with an inimitable unction and experimental light, and with sentiments which the Holy Ghost alone forms in souls which are perfectly disengaged from earthly things, and replenished with his heavenly fire. Often was he seen ravished in holy prayer; and frequently was not able to conceal from the eyes of men the vehement ardour of the divine love, with which his soul melted in an excess of heavenly sweetness. He felt in himself what many servants of God assure us of, that, the consolation which the Holy Ghost frequently infuses into pious souls, is greater than all the pleasures of the world together, could they be enjoyed by one man. It makes the heart to dissolve and melt through excess of joy, under which it is unable to contain itself.
In these sentiments did this servant of God sing with David: My soul shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall be delighted in his salvation. All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee!
The reward of virtue is reserved for heaven; but some comforts are not denied during the present time of trial. Even in this vale of tears, God will make its desert as a place of pleasure; and its wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of praise. Isai. li. 3. It is sufficiently understood that the saint did not receive these heavenly comforts without severe interior trials, and a constant practice of self denial, by which his heart was crucified to the world. The dew of extraordinary spiritual comforts never falls on unmortified souls, which seek the delights of this world. St. Paschal in his poverty joined alms with his continual prayer; and not having any other means to relieve the poor, always gave them a good part of his own dinner which was sent him into the fields.
How great soever his love was for his profession, he found however several difficulties in it which made him think of leaving it. He was not able, notwithstanding all the care he could take, to hinder a flock of goats he had in charge from sometimes trespassing on anothers ground. This occasioned his giving over the inspection of that flock. But he found other troubles in taking care of other cattle. Some of his companions, not having the same piety with himself, were but too much addicted to cursing, quarrelling, and fighting; nor were they to be reclaimed by his gentle rebukes on these accounts. He was therefore determined to leave them, not to participate in their crimes. And to learn the will of God in this important choice of a state of life in which he might most faithfully serve him, he redoubled his prayers, fasts, and other austerities. After some time spent in this manner, he determined to become a religious man. Those to whom he first disclosed his inclination to a religious state, pointed out to him several convents richly endowed. But that circumstance alone was enough to disgust him; and his answer was: I was born poor, and I am resolved to live and die in poverty and penance. Being at that time twenty years of age he left his master, his friends, and his country, and went into the kingdom of Valentia, where was an austere convent of barefoot reformed Franciscans, called Soccolans, which stood in a desert solitude, but at no great distance from the town of Montfort. He addressed himself to the fathers of this house for spiritual advice; and, in the mean time, he entered into the service of certain farmers in the neighbourhood to keep their sheep. He continued here his penitential and retired life in assiduous prayer, and was known in the whole country by the name of the Holy Shepherd. To sequester himself from the world, he made the more haste to petition for the habit of a lay-brother in the house above-mentioned; and was admitted in 1564. The fathers desired to persuade him to enter himself among the clerks, or those who aspired to holy orders, and sing the divine office in the choir; but they were obliged to yield to his humility, and admit him among the lay-brothers of the community. He was not only a fervent novice, which we often see, but also a most fervent religious man, always advancing, and never losing ground. Though his rule was most austere, he added continually to its severity, but always with simplicity of heart, without the least attachment to his own will; and whenever he was admonished of any excess in his practices of mortification, he most readily confined himself to the letter of his rule. The meanest employments always gave him the highest satisfaction. Whenever he changed convents, according to the custom of his order the better to prevent any secret attachments of the heart, he never complained of anything, nor so much as said that he found anything in one house more agreeable than in another; because, being entirely dead to himself, he everywhere sought only God. He never allowed himself a moment of repose between the church and cloister duties, and his work; nor did his labour interrupt his prayer. He had never more than one habit, and that always threadbare. He walked without sandals in the snows, and in the roughest roads. He accommodated himself to all places and seasons, and was always content, cheerful, mild, affable, and full of respect for all. He thought himself honoured if employed in any painful and low office to serve any one.
The general of the Order happening to be at Paris, Paschal was sent thither to him about some necessary business of his province. Many of the cities through which he was to pass in France, were in the hands of the Huguenots, who were then in arms. Yet he offered himself to a martyrdom of obedience, travelled in his habit, and without so much as sandals on his feet, was often pursued by the Huguenots with sticks and stones, and received a wound on one shoulder of which he remained lame as long as he lived. He was twice taken for a spy; but God delivered him out of all dangers. On the very day on which he arrived at his convent from this tedious journey, he went out to his work and other duties as usual. He never spoke of anything that had happened to him in his journey unless asked; and then was careful to suppress whatever might reflect on him the least honour or praise. He had a singular devotion to the mother of God, whose intercession he never ceased to implore that he might be preserved from sin. The holy sacrament of the altar was the object of his most tender devotion; also the passion of our divine Redeemer. He spent, especially towards the end of his life, a considerable part of the night at the foot of the altar on his knees, or prostrate on the ground. In prayer he was often favoured with ecstasies and raptures. He died at Villa Reale, near Valentia, on the 17th of May, in 1592, being fifty-two years old. His corpse was exposed three days, during which time the great multitudes which from all parts visited the church, were witnesses to many miracles by which God attested the sanctity of his servant. St. Paschal was beatified by Pope Paul V. in 1618, and canonized by Alexander VIII. in 1690.
If Christians in every station endeavoured with their whole strength continually to advance in virtue, the church would be filled with saints. But alas! though it be an undoubted maxim, that not to go on in a spiritual life is to fall back, Nothing is more rare, says St. Bernard, than to find persons who always press forward. We see more converted from vice to virtue, than increase their fervour in virtue. This is something dreadful. The same father assigns two principal reasons. First, many who begin well, after some time grow again remiss in the exercises of mortification and prayer, and return to the amusements, pleasures, and vanities of a worldly life. Secondly, others who are regular and constant in exterior duties, neglect to watch over and cultivate their interior; so that some interior spiritual vice insinuates itself into their affections, and renders them an abomination in the eyes of God. A man, says St. Bernard,
who gives himself up entirely to exterior exercises without looking seriously into his own heart to see what passes there, imposes upon himself, imagining that he is something whilst he is nothing. His eyes being always fixed on his exterior actions, he flatters himself that he goes on well, and neither sees nor feels the secret worm which gnaws and consumes his heart. He keeps all fasts, assists at all parts of the divine office, and fails in no exercise of piety or penance; yet God declares,
His heart is far from me.
He only employs his hands in fulfilling the precepts, and his heart is hard and dry. His duties are complied with by habit and a certain rotation: he omits not a single iota of all his exterior employments; but whilst he strains at a gnat, he swallows a camel. In his heart he is a slave to self-will, and is a prey to avarice, vain-glory, and ambition: one or other or all these vices together reign in his soul.

When Joshua Bell was 21, he recorded an iconic piece of chamber music for piano and violin — the Sonata in A major by Cesar Franck. Today, Bell is 44 and he's recorded it again. It's on his new album, French Impressions, with pianist Jeremy Denk.
All Things Considered host Robert Siegel invited Bell to listen to his old recording for a little session of compare-and-contrast.
"Do you hear the same violinist?" Siegel asks, after playing for Bell the opening bars of his 1989 recording.
"It's not as bad as I thought it was," Bell says. "But then my next impression is, I could have done a lot more here in this harmony, and I could have followed some of the instructions in the score a little bit better."
In other words, Bell hears major differences in his playing some 22 years ago.
"This music is very subtle. There are so many beautiful harmonies that, if you indulged in every one, you'd lose the scope," he says. "And yet some of the beauty of French music is that there are moments that you don't think about the overall structure and you enjoy the beauty of that moment."
What's the relationship like between Bell and a piece like the Franck Sonata, which he's continued to play for several decades?
"I'm still the same basic human being," he says, "but I feel I know the piece so much better. I've internalized it so much more — the way it's paced. Hopefully, I'm bringing out much more nuance and more color and things I've discovered in the piece since. You're a constant student, as a musician."
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
The violinist Joshua Bell's new album is called "French Impressions." Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk play three sonatas: one by Camille Saint-Saens, one by Maurice Ravel and this one by Cesar Franck, who is actually Belgian but spent his life working in Paris.
SIEGEL: The Cesar Franck Sonata for Violin and Piano evidently has a very special meaning for Joshua Bell who joins us from New York. Welcome to the program once again.
JOSHUA BELL: Thank you.
SIEGEL: I'd like you to describe your connection to this 1886 composition of Cesar Franck's.
BELL: Well, it's - the Franck Sonata is one of the great pillars of the repertoire for violin and piano. Any violinist or pianist would say it's their piece, you know, but I do feel particularly close to it because I've been, well, first of all, playing it my whole life since I was 13 years old. But my first experience with it was through the eyes and filter of my teacher Josef Gingold. And Josef Gingold was a student of Eugene Ysaye. And Franck actually wrote the sonata for Ysaye who was a fellow Belgian.
And it was pretty awesome to take lessons with Gingold where he would describe how exactly he would play the Franck Sonata that was written for him, and especially considering that it was written in the 1880s. I had this direct link. I'm not claiming I had - that that means I play it better than anyone else, but it - but for me, it's a personal connection that I treasure.
SIEGEL: It's a pretty direct line of descent, actually, from the late 19th century to today.
BELL: Yeah. I call Ysaye my musical grandfather, so to speak. So...
SIEGEL: And did - you say Gingold talked to you about how, you say, he played the piece.
BELL: He did. And he would describe Ysaye his - the nuance of sound. He would imitate - well, Gingold himself had probably the most beautiful violin sound I have ever heard close up and - but he imitated the way Ysaye would express himself and almost cry through the instrument. And it was something very special. And it must have been incredibly touching to be in the room with Ysaye.
SIEGEL: As you say, you've been playing this piece almost your whole life. There was a recording you made of it back in 1989 that I owned a tape cassette of. You remember tape cassettes.
BELL: I vaguely remember those types of things.
SIEGEL: So I listened to that for years, and now I've listened to the two piece. The first recording, you must have made when you were 21, or if you made it in December, maybe you were 22. Today, you're 44. So differences between those two recordings? Do you hear the same violinist playing, or are you remarkably different to your own ear?
BELL: Personally, I haven't actually heard it for many, many, many years. It's hard to listen to one's self, you know, recordings, especially the piece that you grow with over the years, and then you think, oh, my God, why did I do that? So I think if I were to hear it, I would hear quite, well, a lot of basic things. I'm still the same human being, and a lot of things I feel the same way about. But I feel I know the piece so much better. I've internalized it so much more and the way it's paced and the way I - hopefully, I'm bringing out much more nuance and more color and things that I've discovered in the piece since.
SIEGEL: I'm going to play you a bit of the recording you made in 1989 of the Franck Sonata, and you tell me what you're hearing that isn't the way you play today.
BELL: Oh, OK.
SIEGEL: Well, that's you at 21.
SIEGEL: Sounds pretty good to me.
BELL: Oh, thank you. Well, it's not as bad as I thought it was. And then my next impression was, hmm, you know, I could have done a lot more here and this harmony could have done really - followed some of the instructions in the score a little bit better.
SIEGEL: Really? You can hear real differences between them?
BELL: Oh, yeah. I mean, this music is very subtle, and you have to choose - I think there are so many beautiful harmonies that if you indulge in every one, you would lose the scope. And yet French music - some of the beauty of the French music is that there are moments where you don't think about the overall structure. And that is just - you enjoy that sheer beauty of that moment.
BELL: Thanks for playing that. It's interesting to hear, for me, at least.
SIEGEL: You're saying you've learned to pick your fights more artfully now with the music (unintelligible)?
BELL: With the music, well, you're always making choice. It's all about choices. And jazzers are always used to choices, you know, in their improvisation, but it's the same in classical music. Like actors as well, you know, where to dwell, you know? To be or not to be, you got to figure out which word is the one you accent, and, you know, it's the same thing in music.
SIEGEL: The connection from Eugene Ysaye through your teacher Josef Gingold is, I mean, remarkable to be taught by a man who learned from the person for whom this was written. On the other hand, it could also be pretty intimidating to be a kid and saying, well, here's a century of greatness, passing this piece of music on to me right now. I mean, as a mature adult, do you feel that you're more in control of playing it and able to take more liberties with it as you play?
BELL: Well, I don't remember ever feeling intimidated for some reason. I think when you're performing, you have to have a certain amount of confidence and just - and on that certain point, you have to own it, the piece. And Gingold was one that really allowed me to be myself. He was not one that said, well, this is the way I did it, or this is the way you should do it. Never spoon-fed me things. He always asked what I thought. He would ask me questions rather than tell me the answers, you know, and so that gave me a kind of confidence in my own choices.
SIEGEL: The relationship between you, the artist, and the piece of music that you've performed over decades, is it something constant and steady, or are there moments of evolution when you decide after some performance, I'm going to do this differently now, I mean, I'm going to rethink that particular movement? Or does it just change very naturally without being so self-conscious about it?
BELL: Well, a lot of what happens in - and as a - we're basically evolving and learning. You're a constant student as a musician. So - and a lot of that, it just evolves naturally. But there are also moments where the light bulb goes off in your head and quantum jumps in understanding that those happen as well, and those are wonderful moments. You know, those often come after times where you feel a little bit stagnant or frustrated.
But I believe in things happening naturally. I think if you try to do something artificially or try to change your style or - very self-consciously, I think it won't be honest.
SIEGEL: But even trying that hard, it'll change because you're growing as an artist.
BELL: It does change. We all - I mean, we change anyway. I mean, as human beings, we change. We - the more experience we have in life, it all informs and is reflected in everything we do artistically.
SIEGEL: Well, Joshua Bell, thank you very much for talking with us.
BELL: Thank you for having me.
SIEGEL: And the album we were talking about is by Joshua Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk. It's called "French Impressions."
SIEGEL: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Paris Hilton & Benji Madden Hold Hands
Paris Hilton and man-of-the-moment Benji Madden hold hands as they shop together Monday afternoon.
An eyewitness recently told Life & Style, "When Paris saw Benji, she only had eyes for him. She walked over and gave him a huge kiss. It was over the top and lots of tongue was involved!"
It just felt like last week that Paris, 27, was dating Swedish meatballs model Alex Vaggo. Just last month, Paris had her tongue down Jared Leto's throat at Sundance. The hotel heiress is also rumored to have hooked back up with her ex Simon Rex.
As for 28-year-old Good Charlotte guitarist Benji, he and Aussie fiancee Sophie Monk reportedly met on the set of a Good Charlotte video in 2006, were engaged in January 2007 and called it quits last month.
Paris' ex-BFF Nicole Richie has a baby girl with Benji's twin brother Joel. Um, small world?
HOW LONG do you think Paris and Benji's relationship will last?

Egypt's Earliest Agricultural Settlement Unearthed
A fragment of a bangle made of a shell found only at the Red Sea suggests possible trade links with the cradle of agriculture in the Near East. (Credit: Copyright UC Regents)
ScienceDaily (Feb. 15, 2008) Archaeologists from UCLA and the University of Groningen (RUG) in the Netherlands have found the earliest evidence ever discovered of an ancient Egyptian agricultural settlement, including farmed grains, remains of domesticated animals, pits for cooking and even floors for what appear to be dwellings.
The findings, which were unearthed in 2006 and are still being analyzed, also suggest possible trade links with the Red Sea, including a thoroughfare from Mesopotamia, which is known to have practiced agriculture 2,000 years before ancient Egypt.
"By the time of the Pharaohs, everything in ancient Egypt centered around agriculture," said Willeke Wendrich, the excavation's co-director and an associate professor of Near Eastern languages and cultures at UCLA. "What we've found here is a window into the development of agriculture some 2,000 years earlier. We hope this work will help us answer basic questions about how, why and when ancient Egypt adopted agriculture."
Just centimeters below the surface of a fertile oasis located about 50 miles southwest of Cairo, the UCLA-RUG team excavated domestic wheat and barley and found the remains of domesticated animals -- pigs, goats and sheep -- along with evidence of fishing and hunting. None of the varieties of domesticated animals or grains are indigenous to the area, so they would have to have been introduced.
The archaeological team also found a bracelet made of a type of shell only found along the Red Sea, suggesting a possible trade link with the cradle of agriculture in the Near East. In addition, they unearthed clay floors of what may have been simple structures -- possibly posts with some kind of matting overhead.
In the 1920s, British archaeologist Gertrude Caton Thompson found traces of the same domesticated grains in storage pits less than a mile from the current site. After the advent of carbon-dating technology, the grain was dated to 5,200 B.C., making the discovery the earliest evidence of agriculture in ancient Egypt. To this day, no earlier evidence of agriculture has been found in Egypt. But because no surrounding settlement was ever excavated, all kinds of questions remained about the context in which agriculture began to unfold in ancient Egypt.
"We had evidence that there was agriculture by 5,200 B.C. but not how it was used in a domestic context," said excavation co-leader René Cappers, a professor of paleobotany at the University of Groningen, the second-oldest university in the Netherlands. "Now, for the first time, we have domesticated plants and animals in a village context."
The latest findings date to the Neolithic period, a stage of human development that occurred at various times around world, beginning in 8,600 B.C. Sometimes called the New Stone Age, the period is characterized by the introduction of farming, animal husbandry and a movement away from hunting and gathering and toward a less nomadic way of life, with pots, tools and settlements.
Few clues have been found of Egypt's Neolithic past in the Nile Valley, possibly because they were either buried under silt from the Nile or wiped away when the river changed its course, the archaeologists said. The UCLA-RUG excavation site is located just outside the river valley in what is now a desert region.
With more than three feet of undisturbed strata at the site, the team expects to be able to piece together the evolution of domestication in the area between 5,200 B.C. and about 4,200 B.C.
"The arrival of the entire Neolithic package in ancient Egypt has always been treated as a moment in time, but we're finding stratified layers that will allow us to tease out the development of agriculture in this area as it developed over the course of hundreds of years," said Wendrich, who is one of the core faculty members at UCLA's Cotsen Institute of Archaeology.
Called the Fayum, the oasis where the team is working was surrounded by prehistoric sites, most of which were excavated in the 1920s. Generations of archaeologists had written off the area, until the UCLA-RUG team decided to re-explore the site.
"We knew that the settlement existed, but the site had been under cultivation since the 1960s, so archaeologists assumed it had been destroyed," Wendrich said. "We got to this site in the nick of time."
Modern laser-leveling farming techniques were about to annihilate the site in 2006, but the archaeological team succeed in rescuing the six-acre plot for future research by renting it for a year while they conducted their initial fieldwork. In the meantime, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities has taken steps to permanently protect the site.
The research was funded by the National Geographic Society, UCLA, RUG and private donors on the Directors Council of Cotsen Institute of Archaeology.

I do like this kind of stuff but darn next season's digs will unearth an older and earlier settlement!
Cool! You do find the neatest stuff, blam! It continually amazes me that "modern" scientists can be so obtuse. They tell us our ancestors were nomadic hunter-gatherers. OK. I can buy that-they'd have followed the migratory herds, etc. Why are they alwasy so surprised that these people traded? They'd have to, and not just for survival. Trading is a basic human instinct. Ooh, I like that. I'll give you 10 x for 1 y.
Saw a program a long time ago—wish I'd gotten the name. There were a bunch of tracks in solid rock, what had at one time been mud. The "scientists" couldn't figure out waht they were. I took one quick glance at their unidentifiable tracks and burst out laughing. Anyone raised on a farm—a wet, muddy farm—would have picked up on it immediately. There were obvious human prints, but the ones the scientists had no clue about were the tracks of wheeled carts, etc, pulled by horses or some other beast of burden.
"What we've found here (in Egypt) is a window into the development of agriculture some 2,000 years earlier."
So the Neolithic period of any given area is deemed to have started when agriculture was introduced? Interesting. Do the above statements then suggest that both Egypt and Mesopotamia's entrance into the neolithic were coincident rather than separated by 2 millennium?
p.s. As a student (small s) of history, thanks for your wonderful posts.
Thanks Blam.

I posted it before but I can't remember who to—I grew up on a farm in Ohio, til I was 11. We had a spectacular creek,one of many, but this one was layers of rock, like layer after layer of concrete poured on top of one another. each layer was from a different time period in what had obviously been swamp/dry/swamp time after time. Growing up on a farm, you notice tracks and footprints, whether it's following escaped livestock or making sure none of your siblings found/raided your favorite berry patch.
I never gave it much thought, just accepting it in the way of children. I walked in the human footprints, which weren't too much bigger than mine. These human prints were accompanied by horses and dogs. Again, no biggie. At least until I started school and found out there had never been humans and horses in the states at the same time. Ooookkkaaayyy.
A little farther down the creek, where the layers had broken off in successive drop offs, there were distinct—we called them tractor prints cause they looked like the one-two slightly offset treads on our old tractor—dinosaur prints. You could duck walk in them, and we did frequently.
I figured out early on that 1)It was best not to say anything to my teachers, and 2)That rock either formed a whole lot quicker than what I'd been told in school, or 3)People had been around a lot longer than what my teachers said.
Probably why I recognized the muddy, blurry prints in that show I saw as fast as i did.
Thanks for the pic, but the prints in our creek were much deeper, much more distinct. The human tracks were about what you'd expect from someone walking in mud. The dino tracks were deep—2-3 inches. Don't know what it was, but it was big, and heavy.
Oh, yeah. There is none so blind as he who will not see. LOL
Part of the problem, besides being closeminded, is disassociation. How can you identify something if you have no idea what it is? Modern people, most that is, have no idea about ancient tools, etc.
Grew up close to Serpent Mound. Fascinating place, and it took a lot of effort for the peoples that built it. They didn't move that much earth on a whim, esp when they had more important things to do—like finding food.
Something else I've always wondered about—completely unrelated. If Kentucky was known to the indians that lived there as the dark and bloody ground, how big was the battle that gave it that name? Where did all the bodies go? Assuming wild animals accounted for a great many, shouldn't there have been a great many bones left lying around? How many generations had to pass before the specifics were lost and nothing but the memory of fear was left? Who was fighting whom, etc. INquiring minds want to know!! LOL
One thing anthropologists and archaeologists have learned is that there is almost always some truth to myths. So...
I know. Never let it be said that I have no imagination! LOL
Do you know if these prints have ever been studied scientifically? If not, is there someone you could interest in doing so—local scientist, educational institution, museum?
Glee—I know the ones I mentioned to blam have never been studied, except by me and my family. No one would believe us anyway! Like I would spend the time and effort it would take to carve these prints, then remember to smooth off the edges so it looked like water has been pouring over these rocks for ages... LOLOL The different layers were so cool, each with their own distinct prints.
On the same farm, sadly no longer ours, at the top of a hill way above the creek, was a single sandstone boulder. We called it the cheerio rock. The entire rock was made up of cheerio like sea creatures embedded in the sandstone. Glacier driven, or just there? If I was a cat, I'd have been dead along time ago!
Blam, do you think the hypothesis about the sunken continent in what is now Indonesia means that the Dravidian peoples of Southern India, the Harappan civilisation of the Indus valley, the ancient Chinese Song dynasty and the Sumerians and Elamites and ancient Nile Egyptians are all inter-related, descendents of this ice-age advanced culture?
Since the sea level was 300 to 400 feet lower at the end of the last ice age, it seems likely that there are drowned areas around Indonesia that could have given rise to peoples in south India and China, as well as Flores Island. However, I am inclined to think that drowned areas
in the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranian would be a more likely source of people in the Middle East, the Indus Valley, and the Nile Valley. Lets not forget the possible influence of a great commet crash in North America on relatively advanced peoples.
the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean seem far fetched considering that the centers of civ were to the east of that. Perhaps the indian ocean

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - From sprucing up hiking trails to painting schools, Americans across the country, including President Barack Obama and his family, took part in a national day of service on Saturday to help kick off presidential inauguration ceremonies.
The day honors the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., who famously said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" Obama will be publicly sworn in for a second term on Monday, which is also a national holiday honoring King.
Before his first inauguration in 2009, Obama urged Americans to spend part of January 19 helping others by volunteering. This year, the Presidential Inaugural Committee asked people both to volunteer on Saturday and pledge to do more service work throughout the year.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, accompanied by their daughters, Malia and Sasha, rolled up their sleeves to spruce up an elementary school in Washington. After varnishing some bookshelves, both Obamas spoke to about 300 other volunteers and noted the importance of getting young people to get in the habit of helping out.
"I want to say thank you to the parents, for showing early on to all our young people how gratifying, how fulfilling this is," Obama said. His wife added, "We're passing on the baton to you all."
Beau Biden, the son of Vice President Joe Biden, and Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton, helped launch a volunteer fair on Washington's National Mall.
"The national day of service is a wonderful way to honor the legacy of Doctor King, to kick off this inaugural weekend," said Biden, the attorney general of Delaware and an Iraq war veteran.
"Despite all the talk of how divided we are as a nation, more and more Americans are coming together to serve each other every day. Volunteerism in America is at a five-year high," Biden said, noting that Americans spent 8 billion hours giving back to their communities in 2011.
Service projects were set up in all 50 states, and the inaugural committee offered links online to find projects ranging from clearing invasive plants from a hiking trail to feeding the hungry to putting together packages for U.S. troops overseas.
Sharon Mudd, a high school English teacher in Maryland, went to the National Mall to get some ideas for her students.
"I want to make sure that they realize that with privilege comes responsibility," she said.
Memona and Huda Shahid, 17-year-old twins from Chicago, were at the National Mall as part of a high school trip to Washington.
"As young adults, you get experience volunteering. For example, we want to study medicine, so we volunteered in a hospital," said Memona. "The important thing - when you volunteer do it from the heart."

Index to First Lines
They are all gone
You will come
They are all gone away
They are my laddies hounds
They are slaves who fear to speak
They cannot wholly pass away
They chained her fair young body to the cold and cruel stone
The Year had all the Days in charge
They glarethose stony eyes
They had brought in such sheafs of hair
They made them ready and we saw them go
They rise to mastery of wind and snow
They rode from the camp at morn
They say that, afar in the land of the west
They tell me, Liberty! that in thy name
They tell me that I must not love
They tell you that Death s at the turn of the road
They wait all day unseen by us, unfelt
They who create rob death of half its stings
Thine is the mystic melody
Thine old-world eyeseach one a violet
This ancient silver bowl of mine, it tells of good old times
This bears the seal of immortality
This book is all that s left me now
This bronze doth keep the very form and mould
This, Children, is the famed Mon-goos
This drop of ink chance leaves upon my pen
This is a breath of summer wind
This is Palm Sunday: mindful of the day
This is the end of the book
This is the loggia Browning loved
This is the pathway where she walked
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign
This is the song of the wave! The mighty one
This is the way the baby slept
This realm is sacred to the silent past
This the true sign of ruin to a race
This was the man God gave us when the hour
This was your butterfly, you see
This world was not
Those days we spent on Lebanon
Those earlier men that owned our earth
Those were good times, in olden days
Thou art a fool, said my head to my heart
Thou art as a lone watcher on a rock
Thou art lost to me forever!I have lost thee, Isadore
Thou art mine, thou hast given thy word
Thou art my very own
Thou blossom bright with autumn dew
Thou, born to sip the lake or spring
Thou dancer of two thousand years
Thou ever young! Persephone but gazes
Thou foolish blossom, all untimely blown
Thou for whose birth the whole creation yearned
Though gifts like thine the fates gave not to me
Though I am humble, slight me not
Though thy constant love I share
Thought is deeper than all speech
Though tuneless, stringless, it lies there in dust
Though Winter come with dripping skies
Thou glorious mocker of the world! I hear
Thou half-unfolded flower
Thou happiest thing alive
Thou hast evil
Thou little bird, thou dweller by the sea
Thou, Sibyl rapt! whose sympathetic soul
Thou spark of life that wavest wings of gold
Thou tall, majestic monarch of the wood
Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State
Thou unrelenting Past
Thou wast all that to me, love
Thou, who didst lay all other bosoms bare
Thou who hast slept all night upon the storm
Thou who ordainest, for the lands salvation
Thou,whose endearing hand once laid in sooth
Thou, who wouldst wear the name
Three horsemen galloped the dusty way
Three steps and I reach the door
Through his million veins are poured
Through love to light! Oh wonderful the way
Through my open window comes the sweet perfuming
Throughout the soft and sunlit day
Through some strange sense of sight or touch
Through storms you reach them and from storms are free
Through the fierce fever I nursed him, and then he said
Thunder our thanks to herguns, hearts, and lips
Thy cruise is over now
Thy face I have seen as one seeth
Thy laughs a song an oriole trilled
Thy one white leaf is open to the sky
Thy span of life was all too short
Thy trivial harp will never please
Time cannot age thy sinews, nor the gale
Time has no flightt is we who speed along
Tinged with the blood of Aztec lands
T is but a little faded flower
T is of a gallant Yankee ship that flew the stripes and stars
T is said that absence conquers love
T is said that the gods on Olympus of old
T is something from that tangle to have won
T is the blithest, bonniest weather for a bird to flirt a feather
T is to yourself I speak; you cannot know
To-day, dear heart, but just to-day
To eastward ringing, to westward winging, oer mapless miles of sea
To him who in the love of Nature holds
Toil on, poor muser, to attain that goal
To kiss my Celias fairer breast
To me the earth once seemed to be
To put new shingles on old roofs
To spring belongs the violet, and the blown
Tossing his mane of snows in wildest eddies and tangles
To stand within a gently gliding boat
To the brave all homage render
To the quick brow Fame grudges her best wreath
To the sea-shells spiral round
To what new fates, my country, far
To you, whose temperate pulses flow
Trembling before thine awful throne
True loves own talisman, which here
Turning from Shelleys sculptured face aside
Turn out more ale, turn up the light
Turn with me from the citys clamorous street
Tuscan, that wanderest through the realms of gloom
T was one of the charmëd days
T was summer, and the spot a cool retreat
T was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Two angels came through the gate of Heaven
Two armies covered hill and plain
Two loves had I. Now both are dead
Two shall be born the whole wide world apart
Tying her bonnet under her chin
Unconquerably, men venture on the quest
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
Under a sultry, yellow sky
Under a toadstool
Under the apple bough
Under the roots of the roses
Under the shadows of a cliff
Under the slanting light of the yellow sun of October
Under the violets, blue and sweet
Unflinching Dante of a later day
Unhappy dreamer, who outwinged in flight
Unmoored, unmanned, unheeded on the deep
Unnoted as the setting of a star
Untrammelled Giant of the West
Unwarmed by any sunset light
Upon my bier no garlands lay
Upon my mantel-piece they stand
Upon Nirwánas brink the ráhat stood
Us two wuz boys when we fell out
Vengeful across the cold November moors
Venus has lit her silver lamp
Very dark the autumn sky
Wake, Israel, wake! Recall to-day
Wake not, but hear me, love
Wall, no! I cant tell whar he lives
Warm, wild, rainy wind, blowing fitfully
Was there another Spring than this
Was this his face, and these the finding eyes
Way down upon de Swanee Ribber
Weak-winged is song
We are but twothe others sleep
We are ghost-ridden
We are the Ancient People
We are two travellers, Roger and I
Weary at heart with winter yesterday
Weary, weary, desolate
Weave no more silks, ye Lyons looms
We break the glass, whose sacred wine
We count the broken lyres that rest
We follow where the Swamp Fox guides
We gazed on Corryvrekins whirl
We had been long in mountain snow
We have sent him seeds of the melons core
We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still
We lay us down to sleep
Well, yes, sir, dat am a comical name
We must be nobler for our dead, be sure
Were but my spirit loosed upon the air
Were I a happy bird
Were I transported to some distant star
We sailed and sailed upon the desert sea
We sail toward evenings lonely star
We, sighing, said, Our Pan is dead
We summoned not the Silent Guest
We took it to the woods, we two
We were boys together
We were not manywe who stood
We were ordered to Samoa from the coast of Panama
We were twin brothers, tall and hale
We wondered why he always turned aside
We wreathed about our darlings head
What are the long waves singing so mournfully evermore
What, are you hurt, Sweet? So am I
What bird is that, with voice so sweet
What bring ye me, O camels, across the southern desert
What can console for a dead world
What, can these dead bones live, whose sap is dried
What care I, what cares he
What charlatans in this later day
What, comrade of a night
What domes and pinnacles of mist and fire
What dost thou here
What! dost thou pray that the outgone tide be rolled back on the strand
What fragrant-footed comer
What great yoked brutes with briskets low
What has become of the good ship Kite
What if the Soul her real life elsewhere holds
What is a sonnet? T is the pearly shell
What is it to be dead? O Life
What is the little one thinking about
What is there wanting in the Spring
What man is there so bold that he should say
What! Roses on thy tomb! and was there then
What seekst thou at this madmans pace
What shall her silence keep
What shall we do now, Mary being dead
What shall we mourn? For the prostrate tree that sheltered the young green wood
What s love, when the most is said? The flash of the lightning fleet
What songs found voice upon those lips
What s the brightness of a brow
What strength! what strife! what rude unrest
What then, what if my lips do burn
What though the green leaf grow
What time the earth takes on the garb of Spring
What was my dream? Though consciousness be clear
What, what, what
What will you give to a barefoot lass
When almond buds unclose
When April rains make flowers bloom
When calm is the night, and the stars shine bright
Whence come ye, Cherubs? from the moon
Whence, O fragrant form of light
When cherry flowers begin to blow
When Darby saw the setting sun
When Dorothy and I took tea, we sat upon the floor
When dreaming kings, at odds with swift paced time
Whenever a little child is born
Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky
When first I looked into thy glorious eyes
When first I saw her, at the stroke
When Freedom from her mountain height
When from the vaulted wonder of the sky
When I am standing on a mountain crest
When I consider Life and its few years
When I forth fare beyond this narrow earth
When in my walks I meet some ruddy lad
When in the first great hour of sleep supreme
When in thy glass thou studiest thy face
When I was seventeen I heard
When I went up the minster tower
When late I heard the trembling cello play
When leaves turn outward to the light
When Love comes knocking at thy gate
When love in the faint heart trembles
When Nature had made all her birds
When on my soul in nakedness
When our babe he goeth walking in his garden
When Psyches friend becomes her lover
When she comes home again! A thousand ways
When souls that have put off their mortal gear
When stars pursue their solemn flight
When sunshine met the wave
When the grass shall cover me
When the lessons and tasks are all ended
When the reapers task was ended, and the summer wearing late
When the rose is brightest
When the Sultan Shah-Zaman
When the veil from the eyes is lifted
When tulips bloom in Union Square
When winds go organing through the pines
When winters cold tempests and snows are no more
When wintry days are dark and drear
When youth was lord of my unchallenged fate
Where all the winds were tranquil
Where ancient forests round us spread
Where broods the Absolute
Wherefore these revels that my dull eyes greet
Where Helen comes, as falls the dew
Where Helen sits, the darkness is so deep
Where Hudsons wave oer silvery sands
Where in its old historic splendor stands
Where now these mingled ruins lie
Where s he that died o Wednesday
Where swell the songs thou shouldst have sung
Where the graves were many, we looked for one
While I recline
While now the Pole Star sinks from sight
Whippwills singin to de moon
White England shouldering from the sea
White sail upon the ocean verge
White sand and cedars; cedars, sand
White wings of commerce sailing far
Whither leads this pathway, little one
Whither, midst falling dew
Who are ye, spirits, that stand
Who comes to England not to learn
Who drives the horses of the sun
Who has robbed the ocean cave
Who knows the thoughts of a child
Who ll have the crumpled pieces of a heart
Whom the gods love die young
Who nearer Natures life would truly come
Whose furthest footstep never strayed
Who tamed your lawless Tartar blood
Who will watch thee, little mound
Why, Death, what dost thou here
Why dost thou hail with songful lips no more
Why here, on this third planet from the Sun
Why should I stay? Nor seed nor fruit have I
Why shouldst thou cease thy plaintive song
Why should we waste and weep
Why thus longing, thus for ever sighing
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates
Wild is its nature, as it were a token
Wild Rose of Alloway! my thanks
Wild stream the clouds, and the fresh wind is singing
Will there really be a morning
Wind of the City Streets
Wind of the North
Winged mimic of the woods! thou motley fool
Withdraw thee, soul, from strife
With eyes hand-arched he looks into
Within a poor mans squalid home I stood
Within his sober realm of leafless trees
Within me are two souls that pity each
Within my heart I long have kept
Within this lowly grave a Conqueror lies
With oaken staff and swinging lantern bright
Without him still this whirling earth
With sails full set, the ship her anchor weighs
With saintly grace and reverent tread
With wrath-flushed cheeks, and eyelids red
Woe for the brave ship Orient
Woodman, spare that tree
Words, words
Wouldst know the artist? Then go seek
Would the lark sing the sweeter if he knew
Would you hear of the River-Fight
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Yer know me little nipper,
Yes, death is at the bottom of the cup
Yes, faith is a goodly anchor
Yes, he was that, or that, as you prefer
Yes, I have heard the nightingale
Yes, I know what you say
Ye smooth-faced sons of Jacob, hug close your ingleside
Yes, still I love thee! Time, who sets
Yet, O my friendpale conjurer, I call
Ye white Sicilian goats, who wander all
Yon clouds that roam the deserts of the air
You ask a verse, to sing (ah, laughing face!)
You ax about dat music made
You gave me roses, love, last night
You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse
Young to the end through sympathy with youth
Your heart is a music-box, dearest
You sang me a song
You who dread the cares and labors
You will come, my bird, Bonita

Quick and Easy Drop Biscuits Recipe
There are just 25 minutes and five basic ingredients between you and these fluffy, tender drop biscuits.
Fannie Farmer of the famed Boston School of Cooking called drop biscuits "Emergency Biscuits," which is appropriate considering that all you need to make them is 25 minutes and five basic ingredients. Not only are these quick to make, but they're also super fluffy and tender.
Why It Works
- Quickly mixing the dough with a fork reduces gluten formation, resulting in a tender, soft biscuit.
- Preparing the butter first and reserving it in the refrigerator keeps it cold and avoids unwanted melting.
Read more: How to Make Quick and Easy Drop Biscuits
- Yield:Makes about 20 small biscuits or about 8 large biscuits
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- Rated:
- 4 ounces (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and refrigerated
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (8 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; alternatively grease a baking sheet with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Toss butter into the dry ingredients until coated with flour. Working quickly and using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Alternatively, add flour mixture and butter to food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to form pea-sized pieces; transfer to a large bowl.
Add milk and stir with a fork until it just comes together into a slightly sticky, shaggy dough.
For small biscuits: Using a teaspoon or small ice cream scoop, mound walnut sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. For large biscuits: Using a 1/4-cup measuring scoop, mound balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 15 minutes for small biscuits and 20 minutes for large ones. Let cool slightly, then transfer to wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Drill Press Table
It's accurate, easy to use and built to last.
by Steve Shanesy
pages 30-32
From the April 2012 issue, #196
There are all manner of drill press tables and fences, from a simple 2×4 clamped to the machine's cast iron table to ones with gadgets and gizmos galore. The latter is not my style, so when the time came to replace my drill press table the list of requirements was short:
• Accuracy. The table must be flat and stay flat, and the fence must be square to the table.
• Ease of use. My prior table had a fence fixed to the table itself, so every fence adjustment required loosening and tightening F-style clamps to the irregular bottom of the cast iron table.
• Longevity. Though I tried not to, I eventually fouled my old table by drilling into it too many times.
• Workholding. There are times when I need to clamp down my work but normal clamps won't reach.
With these issues in mind, I developed the drill press table seen here.
