...Schmidt's vision not just to attract stars from opera's firmament but also to seek out talented lesser-known artists, to create a world-class house that also provides opportunities for young performers to develop. Maazel personally conducted all auditions for the opera's musicians, first in Spain, then around the world, considering some 5,000 performers to find the 90-plus musicians from over 25 countries that now make up what Mehta calls his "virgin orchestra." Indeed, most of the musicians are in their early 30s, and some have never played in opera orchestras before. The opera company...
...there at all,” said Professor of Psychology and the senior author of the study Daniel M. Wegner. But the findings, published in the Feb. 2 issue of the academic journal Science, modify the view that minds are judged on a continuum from greater to lesser, revealing instead that they are evaluated based on assumptions about the individual’s ability for doing, in combination with his or her capacity to feel sensations like hunger and pride. The authors of the study suggest that their findings conform to classical theories of morality and responsibility...
...possibly once home to hundreds of people--that dates from about 2,600 B.C. and shows, among other things, the outlines of beds and cupboards used by the potential builders of Stonehenge. Scientists have also unearthed an ancient stone road running from the settlement, which is enclosed by the lesser known Durrington Walls henge, to the nearby River Avon. A similar road connects the river to Stonehenge, which sits about two miles from the settlement and is theorized to have been a funeral site. "We knew these were from broadly the same period, but the idea that they form...
...course, couture frocks don't have much impact these days, since they cost the same as a waterfront condo in Miami and their influence on lesser-priced lines has waned. But Galliano's ostentatiously uncommercial show was a statement in itself. With it, he thumbed his nose at relevance and the drive to get designers to inveigle their clothes onto the red carpet or to compete with the high-frequency deliveries at H&M. From the moment the first model stepped gingerly under a bow of blossoms in a fuchsia kimono jacket to the last sigh of a corseted bride...
...these channelers are clustered in the Pacific Northwest. The more established ones, like Knight and California-based Jack Pursel, who channels a rather likable spirit named Lazaris, have built up multi-million-dollar businesses to market themselves and their wisdom through weekend seminars and audio- and videocassettes. On a lesser scale, such channelers as Hossca Harrison ("Jonah") in Boulder, or Paul Tuttle ("Raj") in Bellingham, Wash., make a comfortable living through private and group consultations...
