Masterworks Chorale collaborates with the Columbia Orchestra


http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/contributed/news/masterworks-chorale-collaborates-with-the-columbia-orchestra/article_a56dd1d0-7994-11e0-965a-0017a4aa4fba.html


Masterworks Chorale of Carroll County, an 80-member, all-volunteer choir is busily preparing the finishing touches on a very special Spring Concert.  For the first time since 2008 when Ode to Joy, the choral finale to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was performed, Masterworks is again collaborating with the Columbia Orchestra in presenting Franz Josef Haydn's oratorio, The Creation.
Under the baton of Masterworks Chorale's Artistic Director, Dr. Margaret Boudreaux and accompanied by organist,Ted Dix, Masterworks will also perform Dr. Boudreaux's own composition, Consolation, along with American composer, Frank Ticheli's Earth Song, two selections from Handel's Messiah, plus Thanks be to God from Mendelssohn's Elijah.
Isaac Watt's paraphrase of Psalm 19:2 provides the text for Consolation, and espresses awe and gratitude for each new day.  In Earth Song, Ticheli beautifully expresses our desire to experience the creation as we meet each day anew, in ways that honor the light of peace instead of the darkness of war.  The two excerpts from Messiah (the first and final choruses from Part I of that work) and the final chorus from Part I of Elijah set the stage for the featured work, The Creation...  http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/contributed/news/masterworks-chorale-collaborates-with-the-columbia-orchestra/article_a56dd1d0-7994-11e0-965a-0017a4aa4fba.html ...
The performance will be on Sunday, May 15, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in Baker Memorial Chapel ("Big" Baker), McDaniel College, Westminster.  A reception will immediately follow the concert.


Tickets are $12 at the door; $10 in advance and are available at the Carroll Arts Center, 91 W. Main Street, Westminster; from any Chorale member; or online at www.masterworksofcc.org.  As always, children and all students w/ID are admitted FREE.

Ryan Edward Handzo, of Phoenix, graduates from Georgia Tech


Celebrating Atlanta and Georgia Tech

LABELS: , , , , 

May 11, 2011 by Kevin Dayhoff

Ryan Edward Handzo, of Phoenix, graduated with the 2011 class of Georgia Institute of Technology at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, on Sunday May 8.

Handzo, a 2007 graduate of Dulaney High School in Timonium, earned a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace engineering, with high honors.

Georgia Tech’s main campus is located in downtown Atlanta.  It was founded in 1885, in the depths of the reconstruction era following the American Civil War.

The keynote address for the 2,300 graduates at the 239th commencement ceremonies was delivered by the fourth chief executive officer of Wal-Mart, and Georgia Institute of Technology graduate Michael Terry Duke, 61.

“Since joining Wal-Mart in 1995, Duke has led the logistics, distribution and administration divisions, as well as Wal-Mart U.S…” according to the Georgia Tech newsroom.

Duke challenged the spring 2011 graduating class of Georgia Tech to follow three key ingredients to leadership and use three guideposts as they embark upon their lives and careers.

Duke, who graduated from Georgia Tech in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, remarked that “you can be the most learned… and the best speaker…  But you cannot be effective as a leader unless you are trusted…”

He continued that the three key ingredients to leadership are caring, performance and trust and he emphasized the importance of living one’s life as best as you can every single day in an effort to make a difference and contribute to the greater good…

Mr. Duke reflected that the guideposts to making a difference in the world are integrity, live with purpose, and set high expectations of oneself – and then exceed them.

“Do what’s right every single day,” said Mr. Duke as he held forth that one of the most important classes he took at Georgia Tech was a course in business ethics.  

“It’s not just about the money.  It’s about doing good,” remarked Mr. Duke.  “Never sell yourself short.  Set the bar higher, then higher…”

Handzo is the son of Tammy and Rob Handzo, and the grandson of Louise Wright Miller of Westminster.

The fourth chief executive officer of Walmart, and Georgia Institute of Technology graduate Michael Terry Duke has challenged the Spring 2011 graduating class of Georgia Tech to follow three key ingredients to leadership and use three guideposts as they embark on their lives and careers…  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4394

Last Sunday I had the privilege of witnessing 2,300 proud graduates of Georgia Tech receive their diplomas in the midst of approximately 10,000 of their closest family and fans at the Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta.

For me the four-hour ceremony was worth it and the sage and well-prepared remarks by Mr. Duke were almost secondary to the pride I felt as I peered over a sea of black caps searching for my nephew, who received his undergraduate degree.

The opportunity to attend Georgia Tech’s 239th commencement ceremonies was certainly collateralized by being able to tour the campus of the proud institute that was founded in 1885, in the depths of Reconstruction following the Civil War.

It also gave me an opportunity to visit Atlanta, arguably the proud capitol of The South, and to gain a greater insight into the storied traditions of Georgia Tech, one of our nation’s best science, math, and engineering institutions of higher learning.

As for Mr. Duke’s background and address, the Georgia Tech news room pointed-out: “Since joining Walmart in 1995, [Mr.] Duke has led the logistics, distribution and administration divisions as well as Walmart U.S…”

Mr. Duke, who graduated from Georgia Tech in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, said that “you can be the most learned… and the best speaker… but you cannot be effective as a leader unless you are trusted…” …  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4394

Washington Post: Tweet about FCC member’s new job at Comcast sets off firestorm

Tweet about FCC member’s new job at Comcast sets off firestorm By Cecilia Kang, Published: May 19 http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/tweet-about-fcc-members-new-job-at-comcast-sets-off-firestorm/2011/05/19/AFZNiP7G_story.html?wpisrc=nl_tech


Comcast has absorbed a lot of criticism since its decision last week to hire Meredith Attwell Baker, a sitting member of the Federal Communications Commission.
But one critical remark really got under the company’s skin.
When an employee of Reel Grrls, a nonprofit educational program in Seattle, sent a tweet questioning Baker’s hiring after the commissioner voted to approve Comcast’s mega-venture with NBC Universal, Comcast’s reaction was swift and harsh.


The company cut off funding for Reel Grrls’ summer camp, where 15 teenage girls learn documentary script writing, editing and filmmaking.
The reaction to the funding cutoff was also severe — and added to consumer advocates’ criticism of Comcast. Some are trying to drum up a congressional investigation into whether Baker’s new job pre­sents a conflict of interest. Baker had criticized the FCC’s review of Comcast’s joint venture with NBC Universal for taking too long and voted in favor of the merger in a
4 to 1 decision in January.
[...]

Turns out that a Comcast executive in charge of sponsoring the Reel Grrls summer program was reading and wasn’t pleased. Last Friday, Comcast Vice President Steve Kipp wrote Reel Grrls an e-mail with a link to the tweet, saying the cable giant wouldn’t contribute the $18,000 it had promised for the film camp.
“I am frankly shocked that your organization is slamming us on Twitter,” Kipp wrote. The tweet “has put me in an indefensible position with my bosses. I cannot continue to ask them to approve funding for Reel Grrls, knowing that the digital footprint your organization has created about Comcast is a negative one.”

Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1949: Horne Robbery Was Fabricated

Baltimore Paint Salesman Faked Report After Losing Sales; Planned To Commit Suicide—Herbert F. Horne, 40, Baltimore paint salesman, admitted to State Police Tuesday night that his report of hold up and robbery at Westminster last Friday night was a hoax he practiced to cover up his failure to land business contracts at Sparrows Point and Westminster, State Trooper James S. Poteet revealed.

Horne claimed he was heldup at a traffic light on Main street in Westminster, forced to drive north to town, where he was assaulted, robbed and his car taken.

Trooper Poteet said Horne confessed Tuesday night that he was not robbed and that the entire story was concocted to win sympathy for business failures.

Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1899 Frank Ryan’s land lies in four counties

Mr. Frank Ryan, of Carroll, is the most sought man by tax collectors perhaps in the state.

His land lies in four counties, though his residence is in Carroll. Part of his property is in Carroll, part in Frederick, part in Montgomery and part in Howard.

On his property is Parr's Spring, which is the point where the four counties join.

He can put one foot in Frederick county and one in Montgomery, then bend down with one hand in Carroll and the other Howard, and drink water from a spring the centre of which is where the four counties unite.
