Shelf Life of Happiness by Virginia Pye
Press 53, October 2018
Reviewed by Clifford Garstang
Full disclosure: the author is a friend of mine; I was provided a review copy in advance of publication by her publicist; Press 53 has published my two story collections and the three anthologies I've edited, as well as the literary magazine I used to edit. Having destroyed my credibility with these disclosures, let me try to earn some of it back!
I read and enjoyed Pye's earlier books, River of Dust and Dreams of the Red Phoenix, both historical novels set in China. Because of my own familiarity with China, I was drawn to these stories of conflict between American missionaries and their Chinese counterparts, set against a backdrop of enormous changes taking place in Chinese society.
This book is completely different. Comprising nine stories set in contemporary America (except for the one set in Rome), it will be relatable to a wider audience. The title story, which concludes the book, is exemplary. In it, a young man who got his start in the publishing business with the help of his female friend is now tempted by her apparent advances, despite the fact that they are both happily married to other people. What is happiness, the story asks, and how long can we expect it to last?
This sense of underlying anxiety is also at the heart of "Crying in Italian," in which a couple visits Rome with their two children. Maybe it's because of the setting and the mention of the Coliseum, but the story puts me in mind of Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever," one of the great short stories of American literature. This story, told from the wife's point of view, is about the appeal of following a different path than the one we're on.
Two of the stories in the collection involve artists at the end of their careers. In "White Dog," a painter visits the home of an arrogant gallery owner and there is an inevitable clash of the creative and commercial sides of the art world. In "Redbone," another painter faces a more existential conflict, that of being understood. "All I ever wanted was to be part of a dialogue," he says.
Perhaps the biggest emotional wallop of the book is felt in the opening story, "Best Man." Here, a man has come to Reno to be the best man in his old friend's wedding. As it develops, though, the groom, who is marrying a woman, is gay and dying of AIDS. From the beginning, the reader is aware that there are unresolved feelings between the two men, and the best man finds himself in an awkward situation.
Although the settings in the stories are varied and the central characters unique, the stories share a contemporary sense of disquiet and longing. They ask themselves what is it going to take to make them happy, and how will they know when they've achieved their desire. It's a wonderful collection by a fine writer.
The book publishes in October but is available for pre-order now.

It's a funny place, Jeddah. Nobody knows the half of what goes on.
On September 25, 2011, the aging ruler of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, gave a remarkable speech to the Majlis al-Shura, the formal advisory body to the Saudi monarchy in Riyadh. Beginning in 2013, the king said, women would be allowed to serve on the 150- member body; and beginning in 2015, they would also be permitted to vote and run for office in municipal council elections.
To most outside observers, these moves were hardly worth noting. In 2011, popular revolts were toppling autocratic regimes across the Middle East; even fellow monarchies like Morocco and Jordan were amending or changing their constitutions to show they would be more accountable to the people. By contrast, the Saudi king's speech conceded no new authority to the Majlis al-Shura, an unelected body with limited powers of consultation only, and Saudis have shown little interest in the largely symbolic local councils, only half of whose members are elected. Moreover, Abdullah's innovations, such as they were, would only happen in the future: the 2011 municipal elections, which took place a few days after the speech, were, as in the past, open to men only.
Yet in a country whose only written charter asserts the Koran as its basic law and in which women have few legal rights, let alone the right to vote, the announcement struck many as revolutionary. Liberal Saudis and women activists called the decision "historic," citing it as further proof that their nearly ninety-year-old monarch was a "reformer." For their part, members of the government rushed to reassure the country's powerful ulama—the religious leadership, which adheres to the puritanical branch of Hanbali Islam known in the West as Wahhabism—that the new women members of the Shura would not mix with the men. The king himself, in making the announcement, carefully noted that "since the time of the Prophet, the Muslim woman has had valid opinions and [sound] advice that should not be regarded as marginal." Even so, prominent Saudi clerics suggested that the decree did not have religious backing, and two days later, as if to assert their continuing writ, a court in Jeddah sentenced a woman to ten lashes for driving a car.

Postoperative outcome after modified unilateral-approach microendoscopic midline decompression for degenerative spinal stenosis
Clinical article
Mitsuru Yagi, Eijiro Okada, Ken Ninomiya and Michiya Kihara
The object of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a novel, minimally invasive spinal surgery technique to correct degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis involving a modified unilateral-approach microendoscopic midline decompression.
In this prospective study, 41 patients with lumbar stenosis were randomly assigned to undergo either a novel, median-approach microendoscopic laminectomy (20 patients) or a conventional laminectomy (21 patients). Spinal anteroposterior diameter, cross-sectional area, lateral recess distance, spinal stability, postoperative back pain, functional outcomes, and muscle trauma were evaluated. Follow-up ranged from 16 to 24 months, with a mean of 17.8 months for the novel procedure group and 18.6 months for the conventional laminectomy group.
Compared with patients in the conventional laminectomy group, patients who received the novel procedure had a reduced mean duration of hospital stay, a lower mean creatine phosphokinase muscular-type isoenzyme level, a lower visual analog scale score for back pain at 1-year follow-up, and a faster recovery rate. These patients also had less mean blood loss compared with the conventionally treated group. Satisfactory neurological decompression and symptom relief were achieved in 90% of these patients. There was no significant clinical difference compared with the conventional laminectomy group's results. There was no evidence of spinal instability in any patient, and no patient required a follow-up conventional laminectomy.
This novel procedure provides effective spinal decompression. Although this method requires more operating time than a conventional method, it requires only minimal muscle trauma and spinal stability maintenance, and allows for early mobilization. This shortens the hospital stay, reduces postoperative back pain, and leads to satisfactory neurological and functional outcomes. Moreover, with the midline approach, decompression was accomplished without compromising the facet joints, even with a narrow width of lamina.

Symptomatic osteochondroma of the spine in elderly patients
Report of 3 cases
Mitsuru Yagi, Ken Ninomiya, Michiya Kihara and Yukio Horiuchi
Whereas osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor in adolescence, it is rarely observed in elderly patients. It is unknown why osteochondromas, which usually develop during skeletal growth, rarely develop in elderly patients. The authors report 3 cases of symptomatic spinal osteochondroma in elderly patients and discuss the possible reasons for the onset of the enlargement of osteochondromas in elderly patients.
Clinical history, radiographs, MR images, and CT myelography studies were obtained in each patient and are described. A review of the relevant literature is also presented. In the first case, the cervical osteochondroma caused spinal canal compression and occipital nerve irritation. It was totally excised, which successfully relieved the pain and allowed the patient to return to normal neurological function. In the second case, total removal of the tumor was effective in alleviating clinical symptoms. In the last case, ablation of the articular facet joint partially relieved the patient's lower-back pain. In the first 2 cases, the patients suffered from psoriasis and associated psoriatic arthritis and in the last case, the patient suffered from HIV-associated psoriatic arthritis. The psoriatic arthritis was characterized as asymmetric chronic multiple-joint arthritis and was HLA B27 positive. The pathology of psoriatic arthritis was the accelerating bone turnover and ankylosis.
Symptomatic osteochondroma of the spine in elderly patients is extremely rare since it typically develops during skeletal growth. In this report, the authors show that pathological accelerating bone turnover such as psoriatic arthritis may be a possible mechanism for the onset of the enlargement of osteochondromas in elderly patients. The age of the patients in this report suggests that growth of the osteochondroma continues after skeletal development.

Long-term surgical outcome and risk factors in patients with cervical myelopathy and a change in signal intensity of intramedullary spinal cord on magnetic resonance imaging
The goal of this study was to determine the long-term clinical significance of and the risk factors for intramedullary signal intensity change on MR images in patients with cervical compression myelopathy (CCM), an entity most commonly seen with cervical spondylotic myelopathy and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
One hundred seventy-four patients with CCM but without cervical disc herniation, severe OPLL (in which the cervical canal is < 10 mm due to OPLL), or severe kyphotic deformity (> 15° of cervical kyphosis) who underwent surgery were initially selected. One hundred eight of these patients were followed for > 36 months, and the 71 patients who agreed to MR imaging examinations both pre- and postsurgery were enrolled in the study (the mean follow-up duration was 60.6 months). All patients underwent cervical laminoplasty. The authors used the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and recovery ratio for evaluation of pre- and postoperative outcomes. The multifactorial effects of variables such as age, sex, a history of smoking, diabetes mellitus, duration of symptoms, postoperative expansion of the high signal intensity area of the spinal cord on MR imaging, sagittal arrangement of the cervical spine, presence of ventral spinal cord compression, and presence of an unstable cervical spine were studied.
Change in intramedullary signal intensity was observed in 50 of the 71 patients preoperatively. The pre- and postoperative JOA scores and the recovery ratio were significantly lower in the patients with signal intensity change. The mean JOA score of the upper extremities was also significantly lower in these patients. Twenty-one patients showed hypointensity in their T1-weighted images, and a nonsignificant correlation was observed between intensity in the T1-weighted image and the mean JOA score and recovery ratio. The risk factors for signal intensity change were instability of the cervical spine (OR 8.255, p = 0.037) and ventral spinal cord compression (OR 5.502, p < 0.01). Among these patients, 16 had postoperative expansion of the high signal intensity area of the spinal cord. The mean JOA score and the recovery ratio at the final follow-up were significantly lower in these patients. The risk factor for postoperative expansion of the high signal intensity area was instability of the cervical spine (OR 5.509, p = 0.022). No significant correlation was observed between signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images and postoperative expansion of the intramedullary high signal intensity area on T2-weighted MR images.
Long-term clinical outcome was significantly worse in patients with intramedullary signal intensity changes on MR images. The risk factors were instability of the cervical spine and severe ventral spinal compression. The long-term clinical outcome was also significantly worse in patients with postoperative expansion of the high signal intensity area. The fact that cervical instability was a risk factor for the postoperative expansion of the high signal intensity indicates that this high signal intensity area occurred, not only from necrosis secondary to ischemia of the anterior spinal artery, but also from the repeated minor traumas inflicted on the spinal cord from an unstable cervical spine. The long-term neurological outcome found in the preliminary study of patients with CCM who had cervical instability and intramedullary signal intensity changes on MR images suggests that surgical treatment should include posterior fixation along with cervical laminoplasty or anterior spinal fusion.

Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors for cavernous hemangiomas of the spinal cord: a retrospective cohort study
Narihito Nagoshi, Osahiko Tsuji, Daisuke Nakashima, Ayano Takeuchi, Kaori Kameyama, Eijiro Okada, Nobuyuki Fujita, Mitsuru Yagi, Morio Matsumoto, Masaya Nakamura and Kota Watanabe
Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma (CH) is a rare vascular lesion that is mainly characterized by the sudden onset of hemorrhage in young, asymptomatic patients, who then experience serious neurological deterioration. Despite the severity of this condition, the therapeutic approach and timing of intervention for CH remain matters of debate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of CH patients before and after surgery and to identify prognostic indicators that affect neurological function in these patients.
This single-center retrospective study included 66 patients who were treated for intramedullary CH. Among them, 57 underwent surgery and 9 patients received conservative treatment. The authors collected demographic, symptomology, imaging, neurological, and surgical data. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the prognostic indicators for neurological function.
When comparing patients with stable and unstable gait prior to surgery, patients with unstable gait had a higher frequency of hemorrhagic episodes (52.4% vs 19.4%, p = 0.010), as assessed by the modified McCormick Scale. The lesion was significantly smaller in patients who underwent conservative treatment compared with surgery (2.5 ± 1.5 mm vs 5.9 ± 4.1 mm, respectively; p = 0.024). Overall, the patients experienced significant neurological recovery after surgery, but a worse preoperative neurological status was identified as an indicator affecting surgical outcomes by multivariate analysis (OR 10.77, 95% CI 2.88–40.36, p < 0.001). In addition, a larger lesion size was significantly associated with poor functional recovery in patients who had an unstable gait prior to surgery (8.6 ± 4.5 mm vs 3.5 ± 1.6 mm, p = 0.011).
Once a hemorrhage occurs, surgical intervention should be considered to avoid recurrence of the bleeding and further neurological injury. In contrast, if the patients with larger lesion presented with worse preoperative functional status, surgical intervention could have a risk for aggravating the functional deficiencies by damaging the thinning cord parenchyma. Conservative treatment may be selected if the lesion is small, but regular neurological examination by MRI is needed for assessment of a change in lesion size and for detection of functional deterioration.

Risk factor analysis of kyphotic malalignment after cervical intramedullary tumor resection in adults
Satoshi Nori, Akio Iwanami, Akimasa Yasuda, Narihito Nagoshi, Nobuyuki Fujita, Tomohiro Hikata, Mitsuru Yagi, Takashi Tsuji, Kota Watanabe, Suketaka Momoshima, Morio Matsumoto, Masaya Nakamura and Ken Ishii
A number of studies have reported that surgery for cervical intramedullary tumors via the posterior approach can result in postoperative sagittal malalignment of the cervical spine; however, the risk factors remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in cervical spinal alignment after surgery for cervical intramedullary tumors in adults and to elucidate the risk factors for cervical spinal sagittal misalignment.
Data for the period from April 2001 to December 2011 for all adults who had undergone surgery for cervical intramedullary spinal cord tumors at a single institution were retrospectively analyzed to determine the postoperative changes in cervical spine alignment. Patients younger than 20 years of age and those who required postoperative radiotherapy were excluded from the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to tumor location: upper tumor (U) group, in which the central region of the tumor was above the C-5 level; and lower tumor (L) group, in which the central region of the tumor was at or below the C-5 level. Changes in alignment of the cervical spine were measured on plain lateral radiographs. Data on atrophy of the deep extensor muscles (DEMs), tumor location, detachment of the DEMs from the C-2 spinous process, the C2–7 angle before surgery, patient age at surgery, tumor histology, patient sex, tumor size, and number of laminae affected were reviewed for each patient, and the correlation of each of these factors with cervical spinal malalignment was evaluated using statistical analysis.
The 54 adults eligible for analysis had a mean age of 49.1 years. Ependymoma was the most common cervical intramedullary tumor (63.0%) in this series. In the tumor location U group, the kyphotic angle of the C2–7 spinal segments increased after surgery (−5.8° ± 2.8°). In contrast, in the L group, the C2–7 lordotic angle increased after surgery (6.4° ± 2.6°). In the univariate analysis, atrophy of the DEMs, detachment of the DEMs from the C-2 spinous process, and an upper cervical location of the tumor were identified as factors significantly correlated with the development of cervical spinal kyphosis after surgery. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the following as risk factors for kyphotic change of the cervical spine after surgery: 1) atrophy of the DEMs after surgery (β = −0.54, p < 0.01), and 2) detachment of the DEMs from the C-2 spinous process (β = −0.37, p < 0.01).
Atrophy of the DEMs after surgery and detachment of the DEMs from the C-2 spinous process are directly related to the risk of cervical spinal kyphosis after surgery for cervical intramedullary tumors in adults. Therefore, preservation of the DEMs, especially those attached to the C-2 spinous process, is important for the prevention of kyphotic malalignment of the cervical spine after surgery for intramedullary tumors.

Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) and knee osteoarthritis (KOA), both of which are age-related degenerative diseases, are independently correlated with increased pain and dysfunction of the lower extremities. However, there have been few studies that investigated whether LSS patients with KOA exhibit poor clinical recovery following lumbar spinal surgery. The aim of this study was to elucidate the surgical outcomes of lumbar spinal surgery for LSS patients with KOA using multiple health-related quality of life (HRQOL) parameters.
A total of 865 consecutive patients who underwent posterior lumbar spinal surgery for LSS were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics, radiographic parameters, perioperative factors, and multiple HRQOL parameters were analyzed preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up. HRQOL items included the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ). The effectiveness of surgical treatment was assessed using the JOABPEQ. The treatment was regarded as effective when it resulted in an increase in postoperative JOABPEQ score by ≥ 20 points compared with preoperative score or achievement of a postoperative score of ≥ 90 points in those with a preoperative score of < 90 points.
A total of 32 LSS patients with KOA were identified, and 128 age- and sex-matched LSS patients without KOA were selected as controls. In both groups, all HRQOL parameters markedly improved at the 1-year follow-up. On the SF-36, the postoperative mean score for the role physical domain was significantly lower in the KOA group than in the control group (p = 0.034). The treatment was significantly less "effective" in the social life domain of JOABPEQ in the KOA group than in the control group (p < 0.001).
The surgical outcomes of LSS patients with KOA are favorable, although poorer than those of LSS patients without KOA, particularly in terms of social life and activities. These results indicate that LSS patients with KOA experience difficulty in routine work or ordinary activities due to knee pain or restricted knee ROM even after lumbar spinal surgery. Hence, preoperative KOA status warrants consideration when planning lumbar spinal surgery and estimating surgical outcomes of LSS.

Q: How can Find My iPhone be working with no data plan? We have an iPhone4 and replaced it with a iPhone5s. In the process of setting up iCloud we registered both of these devices. Now that the phone number has been transferred to the new iPhone 5s, the old iPhone4 only has WiFi and no cell data plan. However, on Find my iPhone in iCloud it still shows the iPhone4 has been updated a minute ago and the location is correct as it is sitting in our house.
Is the GPS in the iPhone4 sending data of it's location via WiFi?

A: Yes, the device can communicate with Find my iPhone over Wi-Fi. Find my iPhone uses the currently available network connection, regardless of whether that be Wi-Fi or cellular. The GPS is still used to obtain location information along with Wi-Fi data and the location is sent over Wi-Fi to Find my iPhone.

Burroughs d. Gabrielino, 25-12, 25-14, 25-11: The Indians improved to 10-2 with the nonleague win Tuesday at home.
Burroughs, ranked No. 3 in CIF Southern Section Division III, received 28 assists, five kills and two blocks from Tyler Yanez. Lucas Yanez had seven kills and five digs, Robby Rutecki added seven kills and four blocks and Daniel Jacobs had six kills.
Burroughs 8, Arcadia 1: Despite wet conditions, the teams were able to get in their Pacific League opener Tuesday at Arcadia.
Junior pitcher Heather Haynes threw a complete game for the Indians (5-3), giving up four hits and one unearned run to improve her record to 3-0.
Junior third baseman Haley Shulman went three for three with a walk, single, double and triple. She also drove in a run and a stole a base. Junior catcher Shannon Trujillo went two for four with an RBI and sophomore leftfielder Brice Edrington went two for three with four stolen bases.
Burroughs stole six bases in the game.
Bellarmine-Jefferson 7, St. Genevieve 6: The Guards pushed across five runs — all with two outs — in the seventh inning to pull out a Santa Fe League victory Tuesday on the road.
Bell-Jeff (4-2, 2-0 in league) received two runs batted in each from Johnny Karalis and Mitch Kellogg, Ryan Okishii went two for four with an RBI and Brian DelValle went three for four with an RBI.
The Guards scored the winning run with two out in the seventh with a bit of trickery. Karalis was a third base and DelValle was at first with Sam Kachikian at the plate. After a strike on Kachikian, Bell-Jeff Coach Hector Perez had DelValle break for second. But instead of going to the base, he stopped in the base path and fell to the infield, faking a hurt ankle. When the St. Genevieve catcher tried to throw to second, DelValle got up and made it safely at second, as Karalis motored home with the winning run.
"It was one of the wildest games I've ever been a part of," Perez said.

See a PDF sample of the Book here.
The Book of Unremitting Horror was nominated in the Best Monsters/Adversaries category of the Ennie Awards.
The Book covers using creatures with The Esoterrorists background, and another includes detailed adventure hooks for use with that setting. There are also artifacts and new GUMSHOE abilities.
Finally, the book includes two full length adventures.
In Esterrorists, you are a highly competent investigator, tracking down creatures of Unremitting Horror. You may risk injury, madness and death, but it's your choice. In Fear Itself, your just a normal person, and the creatures are after you. Let's take an example creature, the Sisterite. She hunts down vulnerable men online, arranges a date, then kills them. In Fear Itself, the adventure would start with your techie friend going missing. In Esoterrorists, you would be part of the OV investigating the work of a peculiar serial killer.
Bonus: Webpages of Unremitting Horror!
The Book of Unremitting Horror is our most critically acclaimed. See the complete reviews to date here.
In my option The Book of Unremitting Horror is a must-have for any GM interested in running horror campaigns, regardless if he/she is using a GUMSHOE game or not.
Excellent, atmospheric and very printer friendly. As a fan of gory, disturbing horror I can't recommend this book highly enough. As a gamer, these monsters will show up in most of the sessions I run, and what higher review can I give this product than that?
The Book of Unremitting Horror is based on the d20 Book of Unremitting Horror already released by Pelgrane Press Ltd, and contains duplicate material from that publication.
There are no links to any reviews of the book. Is there a reason for it? I found a few.

Nickelback Wouldn't Change Even If They Wanted To
Martin Kielty
Martin Kielty Published: June 27, 2018

Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger said the band wouldn't move away from the brand of pop rock that gave rise to their "love to hate them" status, because it wouldn't best serve the fans who've stood by them.
He cited an attempt to diversify on the 2014 album No Fixed Address, which preceded 2017's Feed the Machine.
"They've developed a taste for what we do, so we don't want to go too far and shake them off," Kroeger told MusicRadar in a new interview. "On the previous album, No Fixed Address, we explored more diverse territory stylistically. Some of that was received well and some of it was not – and that's by our people – so you come to expect it when you push the envelope that far."
He argued that while some artists are in a position where they could explore any music they wanted to, that doesn't apply to the majority. "There is the exception where every once in a while someone says, 'Fuck that, I'm doing it my way,' and everybody does happen to like it, but that is a rarefied event," Kroeger said. "For the most part, if you're out there and you're playing for a bunch of people, you're beholden to them. They are who put you up there, and you've got to respect that. Does it mean you owe them everything? No. But when it comes to you being on the stage, and you writing the songs and making the records, you've got to be cognizant of who you're working for."
Kroeger was critical of other artists who claim they're "just in it for the music," when, in fact, he said, they're being "self-indulgent." "As my brother [frontman Chad Kroeger] once said, If you're only playing for yourself, why would you ever take your amp out of your bedroom?" he explained. "Just stay home and do whatever it is. … That's where you should be. But don't stand in front of a stadium full of people and think, Oh, I'm just doing it for me, and all these people just happen to like it too."

Classical music: The Madison Symphony Orchestra opens its new season with a strong and memorable concert that had something for everyone — with no outside help from a guest artist
ALERT: On this Saturday, Oct. 5, from 4 to 5 p.m., cellist Amit Peled will teach a master class at Farley's House of Pianos, 6522 Seybold Road, near West Towne Mall, where he will instruct local students. This is a FREE event that the public is invited to observe, and is part of the two concerts by Peled and pianist Daniel del Pino. For more information, go to:
https://welltempered.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/classical-music-cellist-amit-peled-and-pianist-daniel-del-pino-open-the-salon-piano-series-this-friday-and-saturday-nights-with-music-by-beethoven-strauss-and-others/
Many orchestras, including the Madison Symphony Orchestra (below, in a photo by Peter Rodgers), often use the opening concert of a new season as a chance to lure audiences by wowing them with some big-name guest soloist.
But last weekend maestro John DeMain (below, in a photo by Greg Anderson) once again preferred to show off his own ensemble. And it worked, making for a memorable concert.
The MSO opener had something for everyone, and what you saw as the highlight probably depended more on your personal taste or preference than on the overall impressively tight playing and singing of the MSO, its principals and its chorus.
It seemed clear that, for most listeners the MSO's young organist Greg Zelek (below, in a photo by Peter Rodgers) filled the role of the impressive imported star or guest artist.
The virtuosic Zelek is simply so good that he managed to turn a second-rate piece by Samuel Barber into a first-rate crowd-pleaser that brought huge applause and a long standing ovation, then an encore and another standing ovation.
As music, the concerto-like "Toccata Festiva" (1960) is simply not on par with Barber's Violin Concerto or his Adagio for Strings or his Overture to "The School for Scandal." It is 15 minutes of mostly loud and bombastic music meant to show off the new organ that it was commissioned for.
The King of Instruments seems to invite such bragging. And the boyish, vest-clad Zelek milked the score by Barber (below) for all it was worth, including an astounding three-minute cadenza played only with the feet. It's hard to argue with such dramatic success.
If you preferred more serious fare, there was the Symphony No. 7 in D minor by Antonin Dvorak (below). Last spring, DeMain announced his fondness for Dvorak – in the spring the MSO will perform his Requiem.
DeMain's feeling for Dvorak showed in a convincing and engaging performance of this darker, non-programmatic Brahmsian work that goes beyond the Czech folk dances, folk song-like melodies and nature mimicry of Dvorak's other major symphonies and chamber music.
If you wanted exciting Romanticism, it would be hard to beat Wagner's rhythmic strings soaring in the Overture to the opera "Tannhauser" by Richard Wagner (below). And that flowed into Wagner's sensual "Venusberg" music that featured the MSO chorus singing offstage.
But The Ear thinks that the best measure of musicianship – orchestral, instrumental or vocal — is not how loudly they can play or sing, but how softly.
For that reason, he found the standout work at the concert to be "Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun" by Claude Debussy (below). The balance among various sections proved ideal at expressing subtlety. You could hear everything combining to make a distinctive and atmospheric tonal color.
For example, it is hard to imagine more sensual playing of the opening theme than how principal flutist Stephanie Jutt (below) did it. The performance and interpretation projected the exact kind of impressionistic seductiveness that the composer meant for it to have. For sheer beauty of sound, it took the top spot. (You can see a graphic depiction of Debussy's score in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
Still, there seemed to be more than the usual number of empty seats. Was it the rainy weather? The football weekend? Or do people still miss the thrill of hearing a well-known guest artist opening the season?
What was your favorite piece on the opening MSO program? And why?

Classical music: Prize-winning UW-Madison conductor Chad Hutchinson talks about the FREE and unusual all-American, all-20th century concert he will perform with the UW Symphony Orchestra this Friday night

Chad Hutchinson (below) is starting his second season at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Mead Witter School of Music by putting his own stamp on programming with an intriguing, all-American and all-20th-century concert that combines music for the concert hall with music for plays and films.
The FREE concert by the UW Symphony Orchestra is in Mills Hall this Friday night, Oct. 12, and starts at 8 p.m. with an informal pre-concert talk by Hutchinson (below) at 7:30 p.m.
Hutchison recently won one first prize and two second prizes from The American Prize for work he did – in opera conducting, orchestral conducting and orchestral programming — at the University of Minnesota and the University of South Dakota.
For more details, go to: https://www.music.wisc.edu/event/uw-madison-symphony-orchestra-3/
The Ear asked Hutchinson how, after his first year, he feels about the UW-Madison.
He answered: "What makes the UW-Madison special is the camaraderie and support of the students, faculty and staff across the numerous disciplines within the Mead Witter School of Music.
"I'm thrilled to be back working with the orchestra (below), opera and conducting students and collaborating with the amazing faculty here. Seeing the "light bulb" moments when students realize and achieve a new level of competency for themselves and the ensemble is the best part of the profession."
Here are his thoughts about the program:
"The UW-Madison Symphony Orchestra opens the 2018-2019 season with a program of three influential American composers. This concert will highlight the juxtaposition of traditional classical music and compositions heavily influenced by folk, jazz and the blues.
"A common thread throughout the concert is the idea of firsts and exploring new ideas as a composer.
"The Overture to "The School for Scandal" (1931) of Samuel Barber (below) was the first piece that he composed for full orchestra and is based on the Restoration comedy by Richard Sheridan.
"This performance will be the debut of one of the Symphony Orchestra's new doctoral conducting students Ji-Hyun Yim (below). Ji-Hyun (Jenny) comes to Madison after completing a Master's Degree in Orchestral Conducting from the University of North Texas.
"The second piece on the program is one that I have wanted to program for quite some time. The "Afro-American" Symphony (1930) of William Grant Still (below, in a photo by Carl Van Vechten), his first symphony, is widely regarded as the first large-scale piece of symphonic repertoire composed by an African-American and performed by a major symphony orchestra.
Each movement's title is influenced by short poems by the 20th-century African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar (below, in 1890).
"Since the Barber and Still were composed within one year of each other in 1930-1931, I wanted to show the dichotomy of the straight-ahead classical world and the other side of classical music in the late 1920s and 1930s that was being heavily influenced by the more popular music of the time.
"Lastly, we feature the first and only film music that Bernstein composed. "On the Waterfront" (1954), an Oscar-winning film directed by Elia Kazan that starred Marlon Brando (below) and Eva Marie Saint, shows Bernstein writing simultaneously for the symphonic hall and the big screen.
"This work will feature UW-Madison professor of saxophone and composition Les Thimmig (below) and will showcase many soloists within the orchestra. While not programmed as often as his music from West Side Story or On the Town, I believe that Bernstein's unique use of color, rhythm and melody in this work – heard in the YouTube video at the bottom — speak for themselves."

Juve pulse check
Once again, all too quickly, we are back in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Wailing despondency erupted, within the fanbase and mainstream pundit platforms after our midweek home defeat to Sassuolo. Which was the first game I had missed, gladly so it turns out.
Yet had I watched it, whilst I would have been annoyed, disheartened, not much would have changed in my general quiet positivity which has developed of late. For unlike some, I was not seriously expecting us to challenge for the league title this year. Far from it. And the recent run of solid form had done nothing to change this. All it suggested to me was that Max already is working out how to get the side to defend as a team, not worrying much of the attack, just organising movements to make us far more solid defensively than we have been for a year or so.
Perhaps 3 or 4 seasons back, I would have become horrified by such a defeat, but not now. For to do so suggests the memory of a goldfish or very little understanding of the game. I am unsure how many truly glean how fortunate we were to even achieve 4th place last season. Nor how poorly assembled this squad was forged under the appalling mudded guidance of Paratici.
Much of the blame of last year rests with Pirlo and those above who employed him. Yet even a top class coach would struggle to turn this squad into title contenders, especially after we lost an elite goal scorer late in the pre-season, and were unable to replace him. Some suggest we failed miserably by bringing home Kean, and continuing with Morata. Could be some truth to this, but the nut of the matter is that this came down to money, mainly. We haven't paid a euro for Kean yet. Precisely because we had and have barely any money to spend. And not many clubs will allow their star players to leave without money coming in to replace them.
I doubt we would have been able to sign Locatelli, again without paying a EURO for two years, had it not been for the player's determination to join his boyhood favourite club. Alongside Sassuolo begrudgingly bending over backwards to allow the move to happen.
Those two moves, easily our biggest of the mercato window, involved us spending 0 EUROS. They also came on relatively cheap wages, with Locatelli on around EU5.6m and Kean EU3.1m per year. More need to think about this…
The biggest costs of players coming IN was 10m for Morata's latest loan extension and 3m for Jorge. I don't think that is good value, but under our present dire circumstances, maybe it is?
All of this confirms what the reports of our mega losses and bail-out from EXOR confirmed, namely that we are running at a major loss. It is simply not a sustainable business model to expect a 300m EURO bail out from the parent company every year, COVID 'pandemic' or otherwise.
This is why we didnt sign Dzeko, or Scamacca, or even Giroud…let alone Donnarumma. We could not afford them. So the club have attempted to plug some gaps in the best way possible.
It is reasonable to look at Cherubini, and the curious Arrivabene, alongside the alleged involvement in recruitment of Max, yet any criticisms aimed in those directions must be tempered by the reality of our hideous financial current status.
Briefly, on the management…
Whilst I like the idea of promoting from within, and am aware of Cherubini's steady rise through the youth sector to Paratici understudy, the SD role is pivotal in italian football (increasingly so elsewhere also). This role needs to be occupied by a proven expert, with demonstrable experience, plenty of contacts and nous when it comes to negotiations. Paratici proved a superb head scout, and understudy to Beppe. This did not in the slightest make him a strong SD. The very opposite is true. As his mismanagement of the recruitment has led to an overpaid, unbalanced squad, which Cherubini has now inherited and will struggle to balance.
At best, if he can come good, quickly, we may be able to wheel and deal our way back to the top domestically in 2-3 years. We cannot afford to pay off the likes of Ramsey and Rabiot, as there will be no money to recruit to replace. Plenty more than those two, I am simply attempting to illustrate that this fledgling new SD has an incredibly tough job, with or without the help of Arrivabene – who I remain unsure of in regards to what he is doing – and Max, again no real idea of how much input he has in signings.
My suspicion is that Agnelli and his key advisors, which must be Arrivabene and Cherubini, are searching hard and daily for a new SD and astute player signings. Perhaps Carnevali. Perhaps Tare. For the future. And we have plugged another gap in the meantime with Cherubini, before either of them or comparably experienced professionals become available and willing to join us. It is possible we tried, but the cost of freeing them from their contracts alongside their appetite for the role in our current position, proved too far a leap of faith.
In light of much of the above, I had placed my hopes in September, not expectations, for the season as >>>
Get out the group stage of the CL into the knock-out rounds.
Achieve 4th spot in the league for CL qualification.
Learn to defend and attack as a team
Find most the squad playing at their average or better.
An identity to appear of our tactics and style
We already look certain to achieve the first. Great promise was shown of late to meet the third. The second aim is probably the most important and we are far removed from finding that now mission impossible. With the fourth and fifth still open to question with a huge amount of games still to be played.
Since the rather unlucky loss to Napoli, who are in their best form for many years >>>
Won 7, drawn 2, lost 1. This run included our best flurry of clean sheets for longer than I can remember, within that sequence a deserved victory over the reigning, worthy European champions Chelsea, when we had still far from our strongest selection available.
We have scored 16, conceded 9. This idea that we struggle to score goals is misleading. Evidently. What is apparent is that we are becoming capable of brief runs of strong, promising form, then we falter when that same system is changed to try accommodate more of the squad. And what is Max supposed to do? He needs to try all players in all systems, before he can settle on what works and what doesn't. This appears precisely what he is doing. If I am correct, he will learn from the Sassuolo performance and result, and tailor more the next starting XI towards what was working, whilst including some of the returning players.
Max wants to find the best of Rabiot. I wish him luck with that, as I have no idea what that might be. De Sciglio has provided key assists for two goals of late, so I understand why he was given the start (against SASS). Mckennie has been poor but retains the ability to get on the end of things in the box, as he did so, but is no solid partner in the middle next to Locatelli. Yes, I question why our coach began without a natural left sided wide attacking player, but I understand why he experimented. It failed, and all I can hope is that he has learned from this.
We don't have any naturally attacking left sided players other than Sandro. Who has been in good form, but so has De Sciglio. Chiesa can play there, as can Freddy, but we need to know who else can work there. Rabiot cannot. Maybe Max has the same view, in that we have to have Sandro, with Chiesa or Freddy on the left, or we offer nothing down that flank, but he has to try these things, he has to seek solutions.
Some say we should have kept Fagioli – who is faring well for Serie B side Cremonese – and even the LW flair merchant Felix Correira, struggling to get playing time for Parma. We had no space! It is not as simple as assuming Max didn't want them. We have no money, and a full squad on mega wages, with those we would like to sell, having not takers or not wishing to leave their luxurious position in Turin. There was no space for them. Either the U23s of senior football elsewhere.
Essentially, that run of strong results of late brought me some joy and encouragement. I don't need fancy football, I more respect and revere and enjoy solid team football, which Max managed to produce, and then we faltered and lost. So be it! To be expected. No chance I am to assume all is lost, as those who do, are at odds with watching us deservedly outfox and outfight one the strongest, best managed sides on the planet recently.
Nothing has changed. We remain on course to fight for what I considered our reasonable aspirations. Plenty of games still to come. Nothing is certain, anything is possible. And if you truly cannot bear to focus your energies so hinging on every result of Juve, I would suggest you take a break, for a year or two, then return. And in the meanwhile, read some of these amazing tomes>>>
"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you" – Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas
"But now the world breaks in on us, the world is shocked, the world looks upon our idyll as madness. The world maintains that no rational man or woman would have chosen this way of life – therefore, it is madness. Alone I confront them and tell them that nothing could be saner or truer! What do people really know about life? We fall in line, follow the pattern established by our mentors. Everything is based on assumptions; even time, space, motion, matter are nothing but supposition. The world has no new knowledge to impart; it merely accepts what is there."
― Mysteries – Knut Hamsun,
"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken."
― Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934
"It is an error to divide people into the living and the dead: there are people who are dead-alive, and people who are alive-alive. The dead-alive also write, walk, speak, act. But they make no mistakes; only machines make no mistakes, and they produce only dead things. The alive-alive are constantly in error, in search, in questions, in torment."
