"K computer" Research Results Awarded ACM Gordon Bell Prize
Fujitsu Limited
[pdf] 203KB
Genuine application achieves execution performance of over 3 petaflops
Tokyo and Tsukuba, Japan, November 18, 2011 – A research group from RIKEN, the University of Tsukuba, the University of Tokyo, and Fujitsu Limited today announced that research results obtained using the "K computer" were awarded the ACM Gordon Bell Prize (*1), Peak-Performance at SC11, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis taking place in Seattle, on November 17 (US Pacific Standard Time).
The award-winning results, presented at SC11, revealed the electron states of silicon nanowires, which have attracted attention as a core material for next-generation semiconductors. To verify the computational performance of the K computer, quantum-mechanical computations were performed on the electron states of a nanowire with approximately 100,000 atoms (20 nanometers in diameter and 6 nanometers long), close to the actual size of the materials, and achieved execution performance (*2) of 3.08 petaflops (representing execution efficiency of 43.6%). The results of the detailed calculations on the electron states of silicon nanowires, comprised of 10,000 to 40,000 atoms, clarified that electron transport characteristics will change depending on the cross-sectional shape of the nanowire.
The award marked the first time that a research group from Japan won the Gordon Bell Prize for Peak-Performance since 2004, when a team led by Professor Akira Kageyama, currently based at Kobe University, won the prize for performing a simulation of a geomagnetic dynamo using the first-generation Earth Simulator installed at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
The application used in this current research is one of the core applications developed as part of the "Grand Challenges" program (which, in the field of nanotechnology, is led by the Institute for Molecular Science at Japan's National Institute of Natural Sciences) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
As a part of the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) initiative led by MEXT, both RIKEN and Fujitsu have been working together to develop the K computer and high-speed communications software (MPI library) for use on the K computer, with the aim of beginning shared use by November 2012.
Since the start of the "Development of a Next-Generation Supercomputer" project (now renamed HPCI Initiative") in 2006, RIKEN, the University of Tsukuba, and the University of Tokyo have been working to develop optimal calculation methods and programs to verify the performance of the K computer using real applications. Researchers of computational science, whose aim is to elucidate natural phenomena using computer simulations, and researchers of computer science, whose aim is to drive technological advances in the application of supercomputers, have been working together to efficiently develop massively parallel code (*3) or RSDFT (*4) based on density functional theory by discretizeing it in real space, which is used to compute the energy states and electron states of matter. In the current research, the K computer was used to compute the electron states of silicon nanowires (Figure 1), ultrafine traces made of silicon atoms that have potential for use as a next-generation semiconductor material that generates rapid switching speeds and low current leakage.
Research Methods and Results
In results computed using approximately two-thirds of the K computer system's capacity, execution performance of 3.08 petaflops was achieved. The research team succeeded in calculating the electron state of a silicon nanowire measuring 10 nm in diameter and 10 nm in length comprised of 39,696 atoms. These results were presented at the SC11 being held November 12–18 in Seattle, USA. The findings won the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Peak-Performance in a genuine application program.
The Gordon Bell Prize was established in 1987 by noted American computer scientist Gordon Bell to promote the development of parallel computing technology, and it is administered by the Association for Computing Machinery (*5). Every year, the prize is awarded to the group that has applied parallel computing to practical scientific problems and produced outstanding results.
From among five finalist papers that had passed the first round of selections, the judges for this year's Gordon Bell Prize selected the paper "First-principles calculations of electron states of a silicon nanowire with 100,000 atoms on the K computer" for the Peak-Performance Prize. The Peak-Performance Prize is given for research that shows high real-world performance in a practical application, and underscores both the practical value of this research and the K computer's practical effectiveness.
The silicon nanowires that are the subject of this research, which serve as electron channels in next-generation field-effect transistors (*6), comprise 10,000 to 100,000 silicon atoms and measure 10–20 nm in diameter and roughly 10 nm in length. These results represent the world's first attempt at calculating the electron state, using quantum theory, for a 107,292-atom nanowire measuring 20 nm in diameter and 6 nm in length. Execution performance of 3.08 petaflops was achieved (representing execution efficiency of 43.6%), showing that high-precision simulations are possible at the nanoscale level that will be used in future devices. This work also examined the electron states of nanowires comprising 10,000 to 40,000 atoms, and measuring approximately 10 nm, but in different cross-sectional shapes (round, oblong, and dumbbell-shaped), and found that electron-transport characteristics were highly dependent on the nanoscale shape, showing that computational material sciences using the K computer can contribute greatly to nanoscale design decisions.
Future Expectations
As the real applications running on the K computer received a very high evaluation, the research group was awarded the Gordon Bell Prize for Peak-Performance. This is significant in that it shows the international high performance computing (HPC) community has recognized the K computer's potential to advance science and technology. While continuing to gain a deeper understanding of silicon nanowires, researchers will also use these research experiences to raise the level of sophistication of other applications so that the K computer can bring results faster to a wider range of scientific fields.

Hello, I am Maureen Mortham and my family has lived in Norfolk for generations. For as long as I can remember, and even before I was born, there have been bulldogs in the family.
When I eventually had my own home, I acquired my very first bulldog from Petergard Kennel "Georgie Girl". She was a typical bully, gentle, loyal and lots of fun. She and my three children grew up together. It was a great experience sharing our lives with her. She taught the children responsibility, kindness, and the ability to share. They experienced a companionship second to none. It was a sad time for us when she died at eight years of age. Anyone who has shared their home with bulldogs will understand the emptiness which is left behind when they are no longer with us.
Thank heavens for the many happy memories.
Four years later we were lucky enough to purchase a bulldog puppy "Sydlaine Jubilee Jaunty" (Thurston), followed two years later by Katie. Thurston proved himself a great character, loved and remembered by all who met him. He lived to the age of 12.5 years, dying peacefully in his sleep. Katie was the founder of the Packapunch kennel. As you can see I have owned and loved bulldogs for over 30 year, but it is only since 1984 that James and I have found the time necessary to devote to breeding and showing.
For Christmas 1985 my father gave me a present of money and we decided to use it to establish an affix.
Six names were put forward and we were delighted when we were awarded "PACKAPUNCH" for our affix.
This in our view is the word that sums up the bulldog and also the effect we hope our kennels will have in the bulldog world.

Букови́нський ку́рінь — українська добровольча військова частина часів Другої світової війни.

Створення і діяльність
Був утворений в серпні 1941 як напіввійськове формування ОУН. Його члени не носили уніформу, це була інтеґральна частина похідних груп ОУН. Членами цієї формації були переважно молоді люди зі всіх верств населення Буковини: селяни, робітники, студенти, митці, адвокати, лікарі, вчителі. По дорозі до Києва, за директивою Проводу, багато з буковинців залишилися в містах України, де включилися в місцеву громадсько-політичну роботу, проводячи антирадянську діяльність та пропаганду.

Засновником і керівником куреня був полковник Петро Войновський.

За своєю чисельністю Буковинський курінь перевищував усі інші Похідні групи ОУН, разом узяті.

Основна частина куреня прибула до Києва 29 жовтня 1941 року, тому в розстрілах євреїв 29-30 вересня 1941 року в Бабиному Яру, у чому Буковинський курінь часто звинувачують, участі не брали. Але за твердженням істориків Карела Беркгофа та Юрія Радченка, окремі відділи куреня прибули до Києва раніше й могли брати участь у розстрілах, хоча їх участь у розстрілах є ними не доведеною. Однак, існує документ, який свідчить про те, що жодні підрозділи Буковинського куреня до та під час розстрілів у Бабиному Яру в кінці вересня 1941 року не прибували. Головна та пряма роль у розстрілах належала німцям із Зондеркоманди 4а Айнзацгрупи С під керівництвом штандартенфюрера СС Пауля Блобеля за підтримки двох підрозділів полку поліції «Південь» — 45-го і 303-го батальйонів поліції (Polizei-Bataillon) порядку.Військовослужбовці Зондеркоманди 4а та 45-го батальйону німецької поліції порядку прийняли безпосередню участь у розстрілах. Військовослужбовці 303-го батальйону німецької поліції порядку в цей час охороняли зовнішній периметр місць розстрілів.

Після прибуття до Києва Буковинський курінь був об'єднаний із Київським куренем під командуванням Петра Захвалинського.

Учасники Буковинського куреня одразу ж включилися у процеси національного відродження столиці, зокрема тісно співпрацювали з органами місцевого самоврядування, забезпечували діяльність українських установ, підприємств, культурних та політичних інститутів.

Наприкінці 1941 Буковинський курінь був розпущений німцями за націоналістичну діяльність, що йшла в розріз із політикою окупаційної німецької влади. Чимало членів Куреня були репресовані.

Діяльність членів куреня після розпуску
Після розпуску частина членів куреня пішла в підпілля, частина влилася до ряду батальйонів охоронної поліції (Шуцманшафт) — 109-го (Вінниця), 115-го та 118-го (Київ).

У серпні 1944 року 115-й і 118-й батальйони було реорганізовано в 62-й і 63-й батальйони 30-ї дивізії військ СС і перекинуто з Білорусі у Францію для боротьби з загонами Французького Резистансу.

В понеділок 21-го серпня 62-й і 63-й батальйони було об'єднано в один курінь і призначено нових командирів. З німецького боку новим 62-м куренем керували майор Пнцке і капітан Лібе.

Перехід стрільців 62-го батальйону на бік Французького Опору був одним з найкраще організованих та найвідважніших їх вчинків у роки війни.

Тут 62-й батальйон було перейменовано на 2-й Український Курінь ім. Тараса Шевченка, оскільки 1-м Українським Куренем ім. І.Богуна названо колишній 102-й волинський батальйон, який також перейшов на бік Французького Опору. У французьких військових документах Буковинський Курінь значився як «Le 2 Bataillon Ukrainien des Forces Francaices de L'Interier, Groupement Frontiere, Sous-Region D.2.» Курінним стрільці обрали колишнього старшину Армії УНР Негребецького, командиром 1-ї сотні Мелешка, командиром 2-ї сотні Поліщука, командиром 3-ї сотні Федоріва.

Пам'ять
Перший надгробний пам'ятник стрільцям Буковинського Куреня постав в 1945 р. в м. Дамблен, де поховано трьох українських вояків, які впали на полі бою в вересні 1944 р. До цього скромного, але виконаного зі смаком з тривкого матеріалу надгробка сходилися в дні свят українські комбатанти, вшановуючи полеглих побратимів.

Семеро стрільців Буковинського Куреня були поховані на цвинтарі м. Версель, де за десятиліття їх могили зазнали руйнівної дії часу. Тож 20 травня 1973 р. в Ліоні постав Комітет для вшанування пам'яті вояків-українців, які полягли за волю Франції (голова колишній бунчужний Буковинського Куреня Іван Слижук, скарбник — Орест Білак), заходами якого перенесено останки героїв до братської могили, на центральній алеї цвинтаря м. Версель і споруджено ґранітний пам'ятник з тризубом та іменами загиблих. Відкриття і освячення пам'ятника 14 липня 1973 р. перетворилося у величну франко-українську маніфестацію за участю командира Куреня полковника Віктора Петі, почесної роти 65-ї французької дивізії, представників французької влади та української громадськості з цілого світу. Як наголосив у своєму виступі на освяченні пам'ятника відомий митець Василь Авраменко з США, це перший раз у світі чужа армія вшановувала українських вояків…

Того ж 1973 року заходами і коштом першого командира Буковинського Куреня полковника Петра Войновського в його садибі в Керкгонксоні, США, почала споруджуватися церква-пам'ятник на спомин про побратимів з Буковинського Куреня, які віддали своє життя за волю України. Збудовану в стилі українського бароко дерев'яну церкву увінчує Мазепинський хрест, як символ братерства по зброї. Церкву-пам'ятник св. Петра і Павла урочисто освячено 12 липня 1975 року; того ж дня в недалекій оселі «Союзівка» відбулася Академія на честь Буковинського Куреня за участю представників українських комбатантських організацій та центральних українських установ, членів Буковинського Куреня з цілого світу і численних гостей. З нагоди урочистостей видруковано серію конвертів з портретами учасників Куреня та провідних діячів ОУН, пам'ятні марки та коротку брошуру з історією Буковинського Куреня.

1986 року Командою Буковинського Куреня, в 45-ліття його створення встановлено пам'ятну відзнаку — «Хрест заслуги Буковинського Куреня» на жовто-блакитній стрічці. На лицьовому боці хреста викарбувано націоналістичний тризуб і напис «ОУН 1941—1945», на зворотньому — «Хрест заслуги Боєвикови Воїневи

Буковинського Куреня». Хрестом заслуги нагороджуються не лише учасники Буковинського Куреня, але й особи, які допомагали стрільцям Куреня у воєнні роки (наприклад, в 1986 р. отримав відзнаку француз Жільбер Аміо, котрий супроводив Курінь під час його переходу до французьких повстанців) або прислужилися справі вшанування пам'яті про Буковинський Курінь.

У 1995 р. в Чернівцях, у сквері на розі вулиць Руської й Садовського, споруджений пам'ятник Героям Буковинського куреня.

Line of Research
Dr. Jean F. Rivera Perez research interests include bilingual development, biliteracy, vocabulary intervention/instruction, second language theories, assessment and treatment of bilingual (Spanish/English) preschool children and cultural and linguistic consideration in Communication Sciences and Disorder.
Current ongoing research with bilingual population:
1. The use of a bilingual eBooks App to promote vocabulary to English Learners.
This project will determine the effectiveness of using Spanish audio prompting delivered via an iPad by monolingual English-speaking speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to enhance vocabulary growth in children who are English Learners (ELs).
2. Second Language Acquisition: The Effect of Assertiveness and Shyness on Vocabulary Instructions Outcomes for English Learners.
Shyness may represent a risk factor for language acquisition in English Learners (ELs), but there is limited research regarding the effects of shyness on vocabulary learning with direct instruction. This study examines the relationship between scores on shyness scale, and gains in naming and defining words following English-only instruction or Spanish-English instruction for ELs.
3. Text To Speech/Audio Prompting: A strategy to help monolingual SLPs to promote bilingual vocabulary to English Learners.
This research investigates the effectiveness of using a child's first language (L1), specifically Spanish, with Audio Prompting (AP) delivered via a tablet computer by monolingual English-speaking clinicians to enhance vocabulary growth in the L1 and second language (L2) of children who are English Learners (ELs).
Current ongoing research with culturally and linguistically diverse population:
Perspectives of Multiple Minority Identities in COSD
1. With the constant increasing rate of members of minority groups, many people can identify themselves as members of more than one minority group. Individuals with multiple minorities identities belong to groups that have been historically oppressed. The purpose of this research is to understand the experiences of Speech Language Pathologists with multiple minority identities.

Jean Rivera-Perez – Overview
NOW RECRUITING RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
Welcome to Bilingual Education and Research Lab (BEaR lab). Our laboratory primarily investigates the development of best practices to promote language and literacy skills in children who speak Spanish, or are bilingual, with or without language disorders. Our mission is to develop strategies that support the community in the delivery of bilingual services and to disseminate the benefits of bilingual education approaches to the professional and general community.
Our research specifically focuses in the development of technological tools (e.g., multimedia) to improve vocabulary service-delivery of monolingual (English) Speech Language Pathologists and instructors for facilitation of vocabulary acquisition of bilingual children. BEaR Lab conducts research with the linguistically and culturally diverse professional/patient community in our field with the aim of promoting better understanding that supports recruitment and retention of culturally and linguistically diverse professionals in the United States.
BEaR Lab also collaborates with schools in the Fort Worth ISD system as part of our goal to reach the community and meet the communication needs of children. Our main lab is housed in the Miller Speech and Hearing Clinic on the campus of Texas Christian University.

A great automotive show display can actually help your car stand out from the pack at a present. Our professional design group will help you add dynamism and pleasure to your subsequent trade present and stand out from a sea of unusual trade show booths. Haha i know how it is im unemployed myself so have to fix every part myself – fixed my automobile twice thi syear , washing machine , cooker – advantage of being skint is you are forced to study new things out of necessity.
I am not sure what the legislation here is, but I want we would just use the stickers as a result of the placards are straightforward to take out of 1 automotive with a view to use fraudulently in one other car. The 1969 Shelby Mustang GT 350 featured a 351 cubic inch engine that produced 290 hp. This beautiful automobile had roll bars inside and the primary eight-track tape decks.
Brainstorm and cooperate with the entire staff to gather efficient and noteworthy methods and ideas. These are all close to the entry & you get out of the car & are on a covered walkway. Exhibiting at a trade show is a huge investment in time, cash and resources, particularly for smaller firms, don't waste a second or a cent by being unprepared!
J C Auto Parts included a machine shop that constructed race car engines, included some for NASCAR driver Tiny Lund, who had gained the 1963 Daytona 500. Set an indication board up on the entrance to the commerce show to advertise your sales space and products. Making one thing right into a show car just isn't all the time a straightforward job, however it is far from unimaginable. In contrast to the OBD-I connector, which was sometimes found under the bonnet of the car, the OBD-II connector is almost all the time positioned on the driver's facet of the automobile typically near the steering column.

Saint George Preca
How wonderful is God among his saints: come, let us adore him.
Saint George Preca (1880 - 1962)
George was born in Valetta, Malta, growing up not far from the Carmelite Shrine church there. At the age of four, he nearly drowned in the Grand Harbour, but was rescued by a passing boatman. When his family later told the story they would joke that he had been rescued from the waters, like Moses. George, recalling that the rescue had happened on the 16th July, feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, attributed his rescue to the protection of the same Lady. As a young man, George was enrolled in the Carmelite scapular and later joined the Third Order. Attracted to the service of the priesthood, George joined the seminary and was ordained a priest in 1906, inspired by a personal mission to convert the world.
Early on, Father George ('Dun Gorg' in Maltese) noticed the lack of genuine faith education amongst the young people of Malta. Their religion was built around festivals and formalities, with little connection to their interior lives and a truer following of Jesus. His vision for something more and his lived integrity attracted a circle of young men around him who gathered for prayer, discussion and ultimately to work as lay missionaries in parishes and villages around Malta. His society was known as MUSEUM, which stood for Magister, Utinam Sequatur Evangelium Universus Mundos, or "Master, would that the whole world would follow the Gospel." A society of laymen who would teach the catechism to the people while receiving instruction themselves was unheard of at the time, and it took twenty-five years and much tension with the Church authorities (including at one point the closure of the Society's houses) before the Society's existence was officially approved. It continued its work throughout World War II even in the places where members fled from the violence as refugees.
Dun Gorg continued preaching and writing, drawing on the rich spiritual writings of Carmelites Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, as well as his models as a Third Order Carmelite, Elijah and Mary. He had a flair for making Carmelite thoughts, teachings and traditions clear and simple for working people. In 1951 Malta celebrated the Seventh Centenary of the Brown Scapular, with Father George at the forefront. In the same year the Carmelite Prior General, Killian Lynch, formally affiliated him to the Carmelite family.
He composed the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary in 1957. He died in 1962, and was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on 3 June 2007, being described as "Malta's second father in faith" after St Paul. Today the Society has over a thousand members and is responsible for the teaching of some 20,000 young people in the Maltese islands, the UK, Australia, Peru, Albania, Kenya and the Sudan.
Second Reading: St John Chrysostom (349 - 407)
John was born in Antioch. After a thorough education, he took up the ascetic life. He was ordained to the priesthood, and became a fruitful and effective preacher.
He was elected Patriarch of Constantinople in 397, and was energetic in reforming the ways of the clergy and the laity alike. He incurred the displeasure of the Emperor and was twice forced into exile. When the second exile, to Armenia, had lasted three years, it was decided that he should be sent still further away, but he died on the journey, worn out by his hardships.
His sermons and writings did much to explain the Catholic faith and to encourage the living of the Christian life: his eloquence earned him the surname "Chrystostom" (the Greek for "golden mouth").
Galatians 6:7-8 ©
What a man sows, he reaps. If he sows in the field of self-indulgence he will get a harvest of corruption out of it; if he sows in the field of the Spirit he will get from it a harvest of eternal life.
1 Corinthians 9:26-27 ©
That is how I run, intent on winning; that is how I fight, not beating the air. I treat my body hard and make it obey me.
Philippians 4:8,9 ©
My brothers, fill your minds with everything that is true, everything that is noble, everything that is good and pure, everything that we love and honour, and everything that can be thought virtuous or worthy of praise. Then the God of peace will be with you.
Saint Sebastian, Martyr
Saint Publius

The artists were informed of their victories over the weekend, with each one receiving a phone call from Carrie Underwood to reveal the good news and wish congratulations. "Holy shit, thank you! Thanks for calling!" says McBryde in a video of the moment.

Additionally, all three performers are nominated for other awards this year: Combs for Male Vocalist of the Year, McBryde for Female Vocalist of the Year and Lanco for Vocal Group of the Year. Combs currently has a multi-week Number One song with "Beautiful Crazy," while McBryde's "Girl Goin' Nowhere" is out now and Lanco just released "Rival" from their upcoming album.

SmartDetect is a highly innovative quality monitoring option. The sensor-controlled system monitors the complete stripping process and detects any contact between the stripping blade and the conductor. The function can be activated during incising and pull-off for quality assurance purposes.
In the configuration, the user can specify how the machine should behave when detecting a conductor contact. The conductor can either be automatically cut in pieces or the operator can determine if the wire can still be used. Touching the conductor through the blades will cause an error message to show up on the display, additionally supported by a beep (if enabled in the configuration).
The performance loss when the SmartDetect function is switched on is very low and does not exceed 100 ms.
SmartDetect can be used with all available options so far (small clamping jaws, air jet kit, air jet & suction kit) and all available UniStrip 2300 blades.
The SmartDetect option can either be installed directly when ordering the machine or retrofitted by Schleuniger AG in Thun or by trained representatives at a later date. Please note that SmartDetect can only be retrofitted as of serial number 9800.

Introducing our new blog series - Interview Don'ts | smartdept. inc.
I would like to formally (or informally) introduce smartdept's new blog series — cleverly entitled, Interview Don'ts. This eight-part series was created to help give potential candidates an edge by making light of a few "don'ts" that we occasionally see while interviewing.
Accompanying these short bits of useful knowledge are video performances depicting, in a (not so) real way, how these scenarios might play out.
In addition, I am pleased to introduce, The Not Ready For Bedtime Players, a small, but mighty group of performers who took the stage in these budget-busting depictions.
Stay tuned for the first installment tomorrow, and enjoy!

Just last month we had reported that HTC may be working on a successor to its flagship smartphone the One X. Now the specs of the HTC One X+ have leaked, courtesy Twitter user @Football4PDA, an XDA-Developers member.
The tweet gives detailed specs regarding the dimensions, processor, OS and the battery powering the HTC One X+. The smartphone will measure 134.36 x 69.9 x 9.3mm and weigh 129 grams. Under the hood, it will feature an Nvidia AP37 1.6GHz quad-core processor and a 1.7GHz single core, 32GB ROM and 1GB RAM.
The device will run on Android's Jelly bean OS and and feature HTC's latest Sense 4.5 UI on top. It will be powered by an 1800mAh battery.
Codenamed Endeavour C2 , we first learned of the device's being according to a report by Stuff. The only detail listed in the report was that the device is expected to launch on or before October 1. The online tech blog also mentioned that apart from a sequel to the One X, the Taiwanese manufacturer is rumoured to be working on another 5-inch full HD smartphone, likely to compete with Samsung's Galaxy Note 2.
More details regarding the HTC One X+ are likely to surface at a press event hosted by HTC on September 19 in New York. Apart from this, the company is also expected to launch two new tablets at the event.
One tablet features a 7-inch screen with 1280X768-pixel display, Android Jelly Bean with HTC's Sense UI atop, a Snapdragon S4 processor, a 3-megapixel rear camera and 1-megapixel front camera. The other tablet is rumoured to sport a 10-inch screen powered by a Tegra 3 processor. This is the same tablet that had leaked online just a few days back. Other specifications aren't clear, except for the fact it will come with 1GB RAM and will sport an unusual design.

Murder for Two
Book and music by JOE KINOSIAN
Book and lyrics by KELLEN BLAIR
Not Currently Playing
Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre
MAY 5 - JUNE 10, 2018
Directed by PAUL MASON BARNES
Who killed the great American novelist Arthur Whitney? Found dead in his isolated, rural mansion on the night of his surprise birthday party, every guest has a motive — their dirty little secrets the unwilling and barely veiled subject of the author's bestsellers. Was the killer his loopy, scene-stealing widow? His overly curious niece? The too-friendly psychiatrist? Or the glamorous, but menacing, prima ballerina? One actor plays the overwhelmed detective while another takes on all of the suspects, creating a zany, musical comedy whodunit. Murder for Two is the perfect blend of music, mayhem and mystery guaranteed to keep you guessing — and laughing — until the very last note.
"Ingenious … a snazzy, vaudevillian double act." – The New York Times
ADVISORY: Murder for Two is appropriate for adults and teenagers. This hilarious, musical whodunit introduces a slew of whacky party guests who are suspected of committing murder, so some adult content and mild adult language ensues.
RUNNING TIME: Murder for Two runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, with no intermission.

In London, Italian Immacolata Borelli attends school for a degree in accounting. When she learns of the death of her best friend Marianna Rossetti from leukemia, Immacolata flies to Naples to attend the funeral. However, Marianna's grieving raging parents treat her with scorn even spitting on her. They blame their daughter's death on the Borelli crime family that belongs to the vicious Camorra network of families; her kin controls Naples whose trucks dumped toxic material in the fields and waters.
Immacolata is traumatized by the experience and believes redemption is in order for her implicit failure to acknowledge the harm her family causes. She returns to London where she calls the Palace of Justice in Naples offering her services as an informant turning in her family. Speciale Investigator Mario Castrolami works the Camorra case; he understands the danger Immacolata will face as the mob will kill anyone who betrays them; collateral damage being acceptable. On the other hand Immacolata failed to consider her English boyfriend Eddie Deacon a teacher; as ruthless "Il Pistole" enforces the mob rules, which means killing any informer even the daughter of a cherished leader.
This is a great suspense thriller as the reader anticipates with each spin an OK Corral confrontation on the streets of Naples and perhaps London. Fast-paced with a strong cast on all sides of the law, Immacolata makes the tale as the title character who expects to die but believes she is finally doing the morally correct thing.


We did it! Three artists, a curator, a venue, models, and a DJ - we pulled together a lovely art show and a super fun opening. Instead of catching my breath afterward I spent the weekend recovering from my opening night hangover. Missed the Paper Darts launch party, but volume 3 is out and looking awesome. Did take the lad to the see the beautifully melancholy The Illusionist, got a lot of tedious chores done around the house, blogged about the opening, and spent some time watermarking my photos and listing some for sale on etsy. And now I'm working on a postcard project for the Secret Society for Creative Philanthropy. Phew.
I love this. The Visual Language of an Autistic Photographer - Seattle-based photographer Forrest Sargent says that he uses his camera to uncover the "hidden light" in things.
French space/rock/sci-fi/disco outfit Rockets performing their biggest hit, a cover of Canned Heat's "On The Road Again" on the Italian TV show Stryx in 1978. Rockets combined the electronic pulse of Eurodisco with the driving power of classic 70's rock. "Imagine Gino Soccio mixed with ZZ Top. Interstellar Rock!" It's camp and fun, if not a little scary due to the matching bald-heads-and silver-skin look, and just how seriously they are taking it.
Skeltonics. From idea to execution. Building a working exoskeleton!
Last night I attended the second installment of the St. Paul Bureau of Arts & Beverages monthly happy hour, sponsored by Springboard for the Arts. I plan to attend future installments as well.
Well hey now, today is the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day *and* Mardi Gras. Not entirely sure how the two fit together, but there you go. And there's way too much going on in town tonight for a Tuesday! I'll have to skip out (really need to stay home and get things done) but maybe some of you could make it to Pecha Kucha night at the Bryant Lake Bowl. Or to Franklin Art Works for an evening of improvised music with Lisbon-based experimental musician Rafael Toral. Or to an International Womyn's Day celebration at a secret location.
