New McDonald's to Replace Burger King
Hangout spot and job opportunities to come
Nick Alvarez, Mirada Staff|March 20, 2015
Amidst the ruins of the Burger King, people are wondering what's next.
McDonald's is apparently the answer.
With the location at Fair Oaks and Arden, it would be ideal for people going after school.
A new McDonald's will mean a new hangout spot for students, among numerous others, like Crazy for Yogurt across the street.
Plus, potential jobs for teens to make money. And if there's one thing teens want more of, it's money.
The county's approval process was long but thorough, so construction began. Which started by destroying the Burger King and parking lot. It is predicted to be done by spring.
As with any vote, there is bound to be some opposition. Junior Nate Rubinoff opposes the McDonald's and said, "I believe this provides an outstanding opportunity to replace the old Burger King with a new Burger King."
Senior Justin Shatz agrees. "[Removing Burger King] was devastating. I loved that place."
The real issue is the concerned parents. Child obesity, and obesity in general, is a big problem we face today.
In my opinion, obesity is a matter of self-control. You don't have to eat four Big Macs, seven large fries, and a diet coke.
People blame it on their genes and how they "just can't lose weight". That's a matter I don't want to get in to.
The new McDonald's will take on the more modern look seen on newer buildings, which is becoming quite the trend.
Most of the students, however, will probably be disappointed if it doesn't have a PlayPlace.
This kind of development has been seen before. In fact, it happened almost right next door.
Taco Bell was the resident restaurant, but was closed due to questionable management.
El Forastero replaced it, and some say it's better than Taco Bell. Hey, the burritos don't lie.
Some disagree though. "A Taco Bell put there put there would be prime," said Shatz. "Or maybe an In-N-Out."
"A Taco Bell would ruin everything. You have a better mexican restaurant next door," said freshman Jon Sampo, in response.
Either way, a new McDonald's is coming in. It's owned by the people who own the McDonald's at Watt and Arden.
"I believe the family that owns the franchise are sincere in their efforts to assure the community that this McDonald's will be an asset," says a person who supports it and wished to remain anonymous. "The longest part was the approval. Construction will go quickly."
McDonald's will be a good addition. With a 20 piece nugget for five bucks and dollar drinks, you can't go wrong.


Adelaide Oval to build Australia's first stadium hotel
3 years ago – December 4, 2018
In another exciting development for the home of football in South Australia, it's been announced today that Adelaide Oval will become the first stadium in Australia to feature an integrated hotel.
Under the plans unveiled by the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority (AOSMA) – which is the joint venture between SANFL and SACA responsible for managing and maintaining the stadium – a boutique 128-room Adelaide Oval Hotel will be integrated into the eastern façade of the existing structure.
The project will be funded by a loan of up to $42m to be provided to AOSMA by the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA) at commercial rates. It's anticipated that it will be open by August 2020 in time for the ICC World T20.
SANFL CEO Jake Parkinson said the announcement was "great news for football".
"There are stadia around the world that incorporate hotels, and we've heard the AFL announce similar intentions for Marvel Stadium earlier this year," he said.
"A boutique hotel will add another layer to the experience of coming to Adelaide Oval and will encourage even more interstate fans to make the journey.
"From a SANFL point of view, this is an innovation that will help offset the ongoing costs associated with operating and maintaining the stadium, ensuring the benefits from Adelaide Oval will continue to flow into grassroots sport."
The design of the hotel has been extensively reviewed by the Office for Design and Architecture South Australia (ODASA) to ensure it complements the current outstanding Adelaide Oval design environment. Plans will now be lodged with the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) for approval ahead of a construction tender process early next year.

Key facts of the development include:
The Adelaide Oval Hotel will be built and managed by the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority. It will not be operated by an external provider, nor will it carry any large-scale external signage.
The loan from SAFA of up to $42m will be provided at a standard market rate on a 30-year principal and interest arrangement. As the landlord, the State Government has provided the necessary works approval following consideration by Cabinet.
Like the Oval itself, the new Adelaide Oval Hotel will be built on Crown Land. Therefore, at the end of AOSMA's lease, it will be returned to the people of South Australia.
The design is being overseen by COX Architecture and project managed by Mott MacDonald, the same team responsible for the award-winning redevelopment of Adelaide Oval.
The 128-room boutique hotel will feature two wings that will integrate into the existing design on either side of the East Gate. They will be linked by an elevated foyer and lounge pod with views into the east atrium and out to the parklands and city skyline.
The hotel will utilise current kitchen and restaurant facilities (including Hill of Grace Restaurant) within the Eastern Stand. Access will be via the existing lifts and from the underground carpark.
Rooms have spectacular views, including St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide Parklands and the city skyline.
The hotel integrates with the Eastern Stand, celebrating its parkland setting and context. It maintains the current scale and proportion of built form, retaining views of the seating bowl and roof structure.
AOSMA's business case for the hotel has been built and stress-tested by consultants including KPMG, BDO and Horwath HTL.
When complete, the hotel will create 120 ongoing FTE roles.
While connected to/integrated with the current structure, the Adelaide Oval Hotel will be built as a 'pod', separated from the back of the Eastern Stand. Therefore, the seating bowl will not be impacted during construction.
None of the stadium's existing access/egress including the plaza and atrium entry are affected by the development. Planning is already underway to ensure the impact of construction on gameday patrons arriving/leaving the stadium at the East Gate is kept at a minimum.
Construction is anticipated to commence in May 2019 and is expected to complete in June 2020 before opening in August 2020 in time for the ICC World T20.

President Of Iran Calls FIFA "Dictators"
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described FIFA as "dictators" on Tuesday for a headscarf ban in soccer that affects the women's team.The Iran team forfeited a 2012 Olympic qualifier against Jordan on Friday because it wouldn't play without the hijabs.
"Theses are the dictators and colonialists who want to impose their lifestyle on others," Ahmadinejad said at a news conference.
The Iran president said he'd assigned Ali Saeedlu, the head of Iran's physical education, to pursue the case.
"We will deal with those who carried out this ugly job," Ahmadinejad said. "We follow definite rights of our girls."
Iran's ambassador to Jordan, Mustafa Musleh Zadeh, said the ban was "inhumane" and "politically motivated." Zadeh said Iran would complain to the Asian Football Federation.
The ambassador called FIFA's ban "extremism," similar to Afghanistan's Taliban restrictions on women in sports.
FIFA said the ban on the Islamic scarf covering a women's neck was for safety reasons. FIFA banned the hijab in 2007 and has extended the safety rule to include neck warmers.
At the 2010 Youth Olympics, Iran's girls covered their hair with specially designed caps.

How I Learned About Sex
For Gay Kids
By Alexandra Sifferlin
In spring 2014, parents in the normally progressive Bay Area city of Fremont, California, started a campaign to get a book removed from the 9th grade curriculum for the five district high schools, arguing it was inappropriate for their 13 and 14-year olds. They hired a local lawyer and put together a petition with more than 2500 signatures.
Their target: Your Health Today, a sex-ed book published by McGraw Hill. It offers the traditional advice and awkward diagrams plus some considerably more modern tips: a how-to for asking partners if they've been tested for STDs, a debate on legalizing prostitution. And then there was this: "[One] kind of sex game is bondage and discipline, in which restriction of movement (e.g. using handcuffs or ropes) or sensory deprivation (using blindfolds or masks) is employed for sexual enjoyment. Most sex games are safe and harmless, but partners need to openly discuss and agree beforehand on what they are comfortable doing."
"I was just astounded," says Fremont mom Teri Topham. "My daughter is 13. She needs to know how boys feel. I frankly don't want her debating with other 13-year-olds how well the adult film industry is practicing safe sex." Another parent, Asfia Ahmed, who has eight and ninth grade boys, adds: "It assumes the audience is already drinking alcohol, already doing drugs, already have multiple sexual partners…Even if they are experimenting at this age, it says atypical sexual behaviors are normal. "
But school board members contend that 9th grade students have already been exposed to the contents of the book—and much, much more. They argue that even relatively modern sex ed has even not begun to reckon with what kids are now exposed to in person and online.
The singer Rihanna, for example, has legions of young fans. Her music video for the song "S&M"—viewed more than 57 million times on YouTube so far—shows the artist, pig-tied and writhing, cooing "chains and whips excite me." It then cuts to her using a whip on men and women with mouths covered in duct tape.
"I think denying that [sex] is part of our culture in 2014 is really not serving our kids well," says Lara Calvert-York, president of the Fremont school board, who argues that kids are already seeing hyper-sexualized content—on after school TV. "So, let's have a frank conversation about what these things are if that's what the kids need to talk about," she says. "And let's do it in classroom setting, with highly qualified, credentialed teachers, who know how to have those conversations. Because a lot of parents don't know how to have that conversation when they're sitting next to their kids and it comes up in a TV show. Everyone is feeling a little awkward."
But the Fremont parents aren't budging. "Any good parent monitors what their child has access to," says Topham. "We don't say, 'they're going to drink anyway, let's give them a car with bigger airbags.'" The parents note that the book was actually written for college students, and refers to college-related activities like bar crawls. (While acknowledging this, the book's author Sara L. C. Mackenzie, believes it's appropriate for high schoolers; her children read it at 13.)
The book has been shelved, at least for this year. But the problem isn't going away. The Fremont showdown is a local skirmish in what has become a complicated and exhausting battle that schools and parents are facing across the nation. How, when, and what to tell kids about sex today? TIME reviewed the leading research on the subject as well as currently available resources to produce the information that follows, as well as specific guides to how and when to talk to kids on individual topics.
(Read more: How—and when—to talk your kids about which subjects.)
The average American young person spends over seven hours a day on media devices, often using multiple systems at once. Studies show that more than 75% of primetime TV programs contain sexual content, and the mention of sex on TV can occur up to eight to 10 times in a single hour. And that's the soft stuff: A national sample study of 1,500 10 to 17-year-olds showed that about half of those that use the Internet had been exposed to online porn in the last year.
How do you learn appropriateness and consent in a culture where Beyoncé's song about pleasuring a guy in a car is championed by some as feminist and others as lewd? Or where Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" can refer to violent sexual acts in a music video viewed on the web at least 36 million times? Or where, in a major news story, it becomes apparent that wholesome girls from teen adventure movies send naked photos. Or where primetime TV shows—the kind you often watch with your family—not infrequently make reference to anal sex?
Uncensored media is not harmless. Longitudinal studies suggest exposure to sexual content on TV and other media in early adolescence is linked to double the risk of early sexual intercourse, and young people whose parents limit their TV time are less likely to partake in early sexual behavior. Other studies have found that 10% of young women who had their first sexual experience in their teenage years say it was not their choice, and the younger they were, the more likely this was the case. While the vast majority of primetime programming contains sexual content, only 14% of sexual incidents mention the risks or responsibilities associated with sexual activity according to research from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
And that's just the media teenagers consume. There's a whole different set of issues raised by the other ways they use tools of communication.
"I was sexting and sending pictures to a guy older than me because he told me he loved me and i believed him and he showed everyone my picture and i had everyone asking me for photos and making fun of me and calling me a slut."
"me n my girlfriend have been datin a year an almost 2months, she has sent me naked pics of her and she asked me to send her some of me naked, but i dont want too and i dont want to lose her either."
"My girlfriend will text me good morning, if i dont respond right away she will send a question mark with a question, then a few more question marks, then call me. If i don't respond she gets realy upset and angry. is this abuse? what do i do?"
Young people now engage in relationships increasingly via technology, which means they're able to connect in a variety of ways and at a speed and frequency not known to prior generations. They also appear to be more comfortable showing skin. A 2014 survey published in the journal Pediatrics among over 1,000 early middle school students found 20% reporting receiving sexually explicit cell phone text or picture messages (more colloquially known as "sexts") and 5% reporting sending them.
While many parents think that explaining the consequences of sending out explicit images will get teens to stop, they may be missing the point. "There's a pressure that people feel to send a sext as a digital currency of trust," says Emily Weinstein a Harvard University doctoral student who collected the texts above from an online forum run by MTV, for a study on the digital stress of adolescence. "It's a way to say to someone, here is a thing that could destroy me, I trust that you won't use it."
On paper, the United States is checking all the right boxes of managing teen sexual behavior. The national pregnancy rate is at a record low and it appears teens are waiting longer to have sex, and those that are sexually active are using birth control more than previous years. But these numbers only tell a tiny snippet of the story.
"Sex education in the U.S. has only gotten worse," says Victor Strasburger, an adolescent medicine expert and distinguished professor of pediatrics at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. "Most of the time they don't talk about contraception, they don't talk about risk of pregnancy, STIs [sexually transmitted infections]—certainly not abortion. At some point you would think adults would come to their senses and say hey we have to counteract this."
(Read more: Sex Education, From 'Social Hygiene' to 'The Porn Factor')
Strasburger says the U.S. shouldn't base success on its teen pregnancy numbers: "Everyone else's teen pregnancy rate has gone down too. Before we pat ourselves on the back, we should acknowledge that we still have the highest rate in the Western World."
Not only does sex education still virtually not exist in some areas of the country, but school programs that do teach kids about what used to be called the facts of life start too late. A recent CDC study showed that among teens ages 15-17 who have had sex, nearly 80% did not receive any formal sex education before they lost their virginity. Or, if they did, it was only to discourage them from being sexually active. "Parents and legislators fail to understand that although they may favor abstinence-only sex education (despite the lack of any evidence of its effectiveness), the media are decidedly not abstinence only," reads a 2010 American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement.
"I had sex with my older boyfriend at 16," says Ashley Jones, 22, a young Georgia woman. "Suddenly my dad wanted to talk about the birds and the bees. I was like, what? It's too late!" (The Kinsey institute puts the average age that kids have first have sex at 16.9 for boys and 17.4 for girls.)
Current sex education, where it does exist, often teaches the basic plumbing, but it's not answering the questions young people really have when it comes to sexuality: What should I do when my girlfriend/boyfriend is pressuring me to have sex? What on earth was happening in that video I probably shouldn't have clicked online? What do I do when my best friend tells me they're gay—or I think I am?
School-wide sex education largely ignores gay men and women. "I think the Internet is one of the most commonly used sources for young LGBT folks to gain information," says Adrian Nava, 19, who says his question about same sex relationships in his Colorado high school sex ed class that was shot down by the teacher. "In some ways it's great because online forums tend to be supportive and positive. But there's so much misinformation that reinforces negative feelings."
(Read more: How to Talk to Your Gay Teen About Sex)
Sex ed courses tends to hyper-focus on the girls. "Girls are the ones who have babies," says Victoria Jennings, director of the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, whose research has shown there are globally more programs developed to help young girls navigate their sexuality than to help boys. Given the fact that recent CDC literature shows 43.9% of women have experienced some form of unwanted sexual violence that was not rape, and 23.4% of men have experienced the same, public health experts agree both sexes need education on appropriate behavior.
It doesn't help that the two groups are getting quite different messages. "The way we talk to boys is antiquated and stereotypical," says Rosalind Wiseman, educator and author of Queen Bees and Wannabes, about teen girls and Masterminds and Wingmen, on boys. "There's an assumption that they're insensitive, sex-crazed, hormone-crazed. It's no surprise that so many boys disengage from so many conversations about sex ed."
We teach girls how to protect themselves, adds Wiseman, and their rights to say yes and no to sexual behaviors. But we don't teach boys the complexities of these situations or that they're a part of the conversation. "We talk to them in sound bites: 'no means no.' Well, of course it does, but it's really confusing when you're a 15-year-old boy and you're interacting with girls that are trying out their sexuality," she adds. Data show that boys are less likely than girls to talk to their parents about birth control or "how to say no to sex," and 46% of sexually experienced teen boys do not receive formal instruction about contraception before they first have sex compared to 33% of teen girls.
Yet completely reshaping the sex education landscape is currently almost impossible, not just because of disagreements like the one in Fremont, but because schools lack resources. There's historically large funding for abstinence-only education, but supporters of comprehensive sex education—which deals with contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and relationships—face significant logistical and financial barriers.
Only 22 states and the District of Columbia require public schools teach sex education. Oklahoma and Alabama—two states with the highest teen pregnancy rates—don't require any sex ed. And few states really take a critical look at sexuality in the way kids encounter it, through TV shows, movies, and yes, even pornography. It's like taking a child to a waterpark without teaching them how to swim.
This leaves the ball in the parents' court. A recent survey from Planned Parenthood shows that 80% of parents are willing to have "the talk" with their kids, but in order for these conversations to have real meaning, parents need to understand just how much sexual exposure their kids are getting daily and how soon. They also need to overcome the desire to lecture, and kids need to understand that the conversation is less about rules and more about guidance. All of this while having a conversation about what is usually a very private matter.
(See a gallery of vintage sex education books from the 19th Century to now: Sex Education Through the Ages.)
Some experts believe that many of the obstacles can be overcome by approaching the adolescent in his or her own habitat: using the Internet or cell phones as learning tools.
"Perhaps it's time to fully embrace the power of 21st century communication and direct it toward public health goals more deliberately," wrote Strasburger and Sarah Brown, the CEO of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, in a July report. "Online material and social media could help to fill the gaps in sex education and support for many young people."
Websites like Bedsider.org (developed by Brown's group) offer easy to understand facts about contraception in an open-minded and legitimate way. As do other websites like StayTeen.org, GoAskAlice! and Sex, etc. On Scarleteen.com, educators answer questions from "How do I behave sexually without someone thinking I'm a slut?" to questions about pubic hair.
For reaching teenagers right where they gather, it's hard to beat YouTube. Laci Green has made a name for herself by providing frank and funny videos that answer common questions young people have and dispel myths. Her approach is not for everyone; two of her more popular episodes are "You Can't POP Your Cherry! (Hymen 101)" and "Sex Object BS."
Texting has also proved to be a surprisingly useful tool. Some health departments and community groups in states like California and North Carolina have established services where teens can text their sex-related questions to a number and receive a texted response in 24 hours, allowing for anonymity. Planned Parenthood offers a chat/text program where teens and young adults can either live text or chat with a Planned Parenthood staffer. Since the launch in May this year, there have been a total of 393,174 conversations.
Should parents really cede sex education to the digital realm? Given that an incredibly high number of young people go to the Internet for information on sex anyway, directing them to quality material that appeals to their age range may be the one of the better ways to circumvent poor education at school. Showing kids a reliable website can't replace a good conversation, but it can complement one.
In Fremont, parents are supplementing their children's sex education in different ways. "I don't just rely on the school to teach sex ed to my children," says Topham. "I told my kids about [sex] when they are in third grade, and open up the dialogue at that point. When we are watching movies together or discussing current events that may touch on this topic, we talk about it."
Not all parents are prepared to go as far as Topham: Her five kids did not get a smartphone until they were 18 and they can't have TVs or computers in their bedrooms. "You can be the best kid possible but we don't want you to have porn in your pocket," she says. To some her views may seem extreme, but when it comes to sex ed, Topham's decided it's better to take no chances. In the age of Innocence vs. the Internet, some parents won't go down without a fight.

How to Talk to Your Gay Teen About Sex
Advice from Dannielle Owens-Reid and Kristin Russo, co-authors of This Is a Book For Parents of Gay Kids
I never learned how to have safe sex. I am sure that I had a few health classes that talked about condoms and rattled off a lot of facts about scary diseases I might get if I did the wrong thing with the wrong person—but no one ever mentioned what to do if I wasn't having sex with a boy. I didn't know if I was supposed to protect myself and, if I was, I had never heard of any ways in which I could do so. My parents didn't know that I was gay until after I was sexually active, and I don't think they ever even considered talking to me about having safe "gay" sex. —Kristin
If your kid has recently come out to you as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, there is a chance that you might feel a bit like a deer in headlights when it comes to approaching them with tips on safe sex. Between 1991 and 2010, the average age of coming out dropped dramatically from 25 to 16, which means many young people are already out by the time parents would start talking with them about sex.
Finding out how to talk to your LGBTQ kid about safe sex is much, much easier than you think. The more you know, the more open you can be with your child and the more open you can be about sex, the easier it becomes for your kid to talk to you about their questions and concerns. Here are the three main points to remember:
Be Open to Questions
The earlier you start talking to your kids, the easier things will be for you later in the game, according to globally recognized sex expert Dr. Justine Shuey. "The most important thing you can accomplish is to become an askable parent," she says. This does not mean you have to have all of the answers, or that you need to be comfortable talking to your child about everything (or telling them what you do sexually) — just that you are approachable. If you don't know an answer, research it together, or look for reliable and factually accurate sources with your child.
"When I teach educators, I teach them to first say 'Good question,' " Shuey explains. "That is your moment to think about your answer before you laugh or blurt out something silly or negative."
Before you start looking for resources to answer your questions, it's helpful to address the many misconceptions surrounding the LGBTQ community. First, your child isn't going to have any more sex than their classmates — our identities do not shape our personalities or our interest in sex. Second, they face the same risks; fluids are fluids are fluids, and sexually transmitted infections can happen to any sexually active human being on this planet.
Lastly, there's no such thing as "gay" sex acts—there are sexual acts that are shared between people of all genders, and the way we keep ourselves safe is always the same. Inform yourself about ways to be safe when engaging in oral sex, anal sex and sex with toys. Newsflash: these are sexual acts that any person may engage in, so even if your kid doesn't identify as LGBT, they still need to be informed.
Learn What Works for Your Kid
We all have our own relationships to sex, and we also all have our own relationships to our children. You know your kid, and you also know yourself, so don't feel as though there's only one way to exchange this important information. The "sex talk" doesn't—and most likely shouldn't—have to be one long conversation held at the dinner table. It can be something that evolves over time, perhaps in a letter or over the course of several smaller discussions. Prepare yourself with information, and communicate in the way that you think will bring the highest level of comfort to both you and your child.
Sometimes that means having a talk without actually talking. Oluremi, an out 18-year-old whom we spoke to while researching our book, said her mother took a different route than most when approaching safe sex.
"Luckily, my mom understood that I wasn't really one for talking, but knew I would read anything put in front of me," she said. Oluremi's mom communicated most of her thoughts on safe sex with her daughter through e-mail, which she knew would make the exchange of information easier.
Just like Oluremi's mom, you can send your kid an email if that's easier. Or hand them a copy of This is a Book for Parents of Gay Kids with the safe sex chapter bookmarked (shameless plug alert!). Or talk to them about your feelings on sex as much as you are both comfortable and then tell them to check out some of the websites listed in the main story. You can even make them read this article. The point is, you have options in how you approach this topic with your kid.
When all is said and done, familiarizing yourself with the resources available and making them available to your kid is the critical piece of this sex-talk puzzle. Be prepared in case your kid does feel comfortable enough to ask you questions, even if that means just knowing where to point them when you don't have the answers. Many teens say that they listen to their parents more than anyone else when it comes to practicing safe sex. What you say matters, and what you don't say can matter even more.
Resources and Guidelines
How to talk to your kids about sex, intimacy and other awkward subjects. Plus reliable, relatable sites to send them for more information.
What kids should know at what age: As a parent, it can be tricky to know when to have The Talk, and how much you should bring up to your kids at what time. The National Sexuality Education Standards suggests that by the end of second grade, kids should know the proper names for male and female body parts and know that all people have the right to tell others not to touch their body when they don't want to be touched. By the end of fifth grade, they should be able to define the process of human reproduction, and be able to describe puberty and how friends, family, media, society and culture can influence ideas about body image. By the end of eighth grade, kids should be able to explain the health benefits, risks and effectiveness rates of various methods or contraception, including abstinence and condoms and should know how alcohol and drugs can influence sexual decisions. By the end of 12th grade, students should know how to communicate decisions about whether and when to engage in sexual behaviors and understand why using tricks, threats or coercion in a relationship is wrong.

Camden Fringe 2019
Genre: Political, Youth Theatre
Venue: Etcetera Theatre
Festival: Camden Fringe
This production of Kennedy Fin's 'Fast' intents to mirror the amazing work young people have been doing recently with Extinction Rebellion and climate strikes. As well as show that young voices are key, and people should listen to them.
'Fast' is about the life of a young student (Cara) whose life is ripped apart by the big supermarkets and the fast-food industry. After her class participates in a 24-hour charity fast, she decides to go on a hunger strike to force her community to listen to her and take action.
The production is well-staged with minimal set, allowing the young actors to work as an ensemble in order to create the world of the play. The direction, by Felix Connolly and Ashen Gupta, is very imaginative and really ties the piece together with some excellent choreography. The transitions are particularly strong and the moment when Cara climbs up the stairs to her parents' bedroom is choreographed beautifully. Another well-staged moment is the conflict between Cara and her classmate at his father's chicken shop.
The cast showed a lot of promise and raw talent and worked very well together. Although perhaps they could have benefited from a few more rehearsals in order to polish some of the choreography that did not flow as smoothly. An example of this is when the ensemble plays the single part of a councillor who is standing for re-election. A travel mug is used to indicate who is the councillor in each moment and a change in accent and voice helps with that too. But the passing of the mug was a bit messy and distracted from the fact that they're all supposed to be that one person.
But overall the standard was high and there are moments that you forget you are even watching an amateur production. The commitment of the cast and their collaborative spirit is of professional level. And when it comes to their performances everyone shows strengths. Nansi Love, who played the lead role of Cara, did a great job driving the story and gave an understated and emotional performance. Oscar Chandler (Saj) had some very strong moments and his last image was particularly touching. Heather Campbell-Ferguson (Jamie) demonstrated great comedic timing and was very strong in the moments the ensemble played other non-student characters. Maliha Varmani (Saff) started off perhaps quite reserved, but her character developed and eventually became one of the most fleshed-out ones. Marc French (Chris) portrayed his character with truth and commitment. Alice Gulliver (Robin) gave a bold and brave performance. Harriet Nokes (Kirsty) embraced her role as the more mature sister and got across the emotional burden of having to act as a mother to her younger sibling. Ilana Lloyd (Kasia) and Dana Collins (Harriet) both showed commitment to their characters and their individual journeys.
The play is very topical and it represents the voice of young people. Although the story arc is perhaps a bit bittersweet, it's okay, because it is hopeful and holds some important messages. It was really beautiful to see all the students coming together in the final scenes and putting their differences aside. And the actors did an excellent job undergoing this character development. Even though the text presents this change quite abruptly, the cast embraced it and justified it perfectly.
This was a very good show by Burnt Orange, who have done a great job providing a platform to these talented young performers to be heard and hone their craft. And well done to the cast for a performance that will certainly leave any audience thinking.

Kravitz: Brady will beat the Colts (but I'm often wrong)
By Bob Kravitz
bob.kravitz@indystar.com
Coby Fleener took some journalism classes at Stanford, so he thinks he has figured out the storyline for Saturday night's divisional game between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.
If the Colts win, he said, it will be that they rode the massive wave of emotion from the Kansas City game.
If the Colts lose, he said, the storyline will read that the team maxed out itself last Saturday and had nothing left for the game against New England.
He might be on to a little something: Three times, the Colts have come back from double-digit deficits. The week after those comebacks, they've lost all three times and been outscored 97-28.
So will we see a team that's still cresting after the Kansas City comeback, or will we see a team that figures it has taken this as far as it can go, a team that's wiped out after leaving its guts on the field last week at Lucas Oil Stadium?
My hunch is it's going to be the former.
Here are a couple of things the Colts need to do to beat the Patriots tonight in Foxborough.
>> Limit New England's two- and even three-pronged running game.
The Patriots are ninth in the league in rushing, averaging 129.1 yards a game. They do it with three guys who share the load — Stevan Ridley (773 yards), LeGarrette Blount (772 yards) and Shane Vereen (208 yards rushing, 427 yards receiving). If Tom Brady spends the day in third-and-3, it's going to be a long, rain-swept day in the Colts' personal House of Horrors.
>> Get a huge game out of cornerback Darius Butler, who will be covering the Patriots slot receiver, whether that's Julian Edelman or Danny Amendola. Throughout Brady's time in New England, he has always made his money by throwing to his slot receivers in the middle of the field (see: Wes Welker).
"He'll play a major role, especially on third down," coach Chuck Pagano said of Butler. "…They do a great job of designing plays to get those guys open. They're always on the move. They're not just sitting there stationary. They do a great job of stacking receivers in two-man stacks, getting in bunches, all sorts of things to get those guys loose to where you can't get your hands on them.''
>> Break even on special teams.
A year ago, Edelman returned a punt for a touchdown. Can't happen this time around.
>> Establish something on the ground offensively.
We're not talking about 100-plus yards; the Colts rarely, if ever, reach that milestone, especially as they've recently gone with more wide-open passing sets and thrown the ball around. But the Patriots are 30th in the league in rush defense (134.1 yards per game), largely because they lost defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, the human road block, to a season-ending injury.
The Colts need something/anything from Donald Brown and yes, Trent Richardson, who's in a position to atone for last week's blunder.
>> No turnovers. None. Be the team that led the NFL in fewest turnovers (14) and not the slip-shod unit that gave the ball away four times last week.
"The margin for error keeps shrinking, obviously; it's minute," Pagano said. "Again, you can't beat yourself. We know coach (Bill) Belichick and his staff and his team, they don't beat themselves. They don't make mistakes. We talk all the time, you don't win games in the National Football League, you lose games.''
>> Get pressure on Brady.
Move him off his spot. Change his release point. Make him uncomfortable. Just like the Colts did against Peyton Manning earlier in the season. If Brady has time to pat the ball and survey the field, it's curtains.
"You've got to do a great job of mixing it up," Pagano said. "It can't be something that you do all the time. Our guys have to do a great job of disguising. There's nothing that Tom hasn't seen, as you know. Got great recall. They do a great job with their system, the way they run their offense, trying to get you to show your hand. We've got to do a great job pre-snap and post-snap, whether we're playing coverage or going after them."
>> Run, Andrew, run.
When Luck uses his legs, the Colts win. The past two regular seasons, when Luck ran for 20 yards or more, the Colts were 13-4. There's no easy defense for schoolyard football.
A year ago against the Pats, Luck ran just once for 4 yards.
So beyond that, it should be a piece of cake, right?
It's like this: The Colts have beaten all the best teams in the league, are 5-2 against playoff teams. They can be Jekyll and Hyde, capable of excellence, capable of looking horrendous. My belief is they will play well and stay with New England until the fourth quarter, but lose in heartbreaking fashion at the very end.
Because of Brady.
Of course, I could be wrong. And usually am.

Boonin on the Future-Like-Ours Argument against Abortion Pedro Galvão Centro de Filosofia da Universidade de Lisboa David Boonin s recent book 1 is an impressively deep and detailed attempt to establish the moral permissibility of abortion on terms that the critics of abortion already accept. In order to show on such terms that the moral case against abortion is unsuccessful, one must defend abortion without committing oneself to the moral permissibility of infanticide. I am going to argue that, at least on this account, Boonin fails to undermine Donald Marquis s future-like-ours (FLO) argument against abortion. The position he develops in criticizing that argument strongly supports the permissibility of infanticide. According to Marquis 2, let us recall, the loss of a future of value is what explains the wrongness of killing, and abortion is wrong because it imposes such a loss on the fetus. Boonin is willing to accept the FLO approach to the wrongness of killing, but attempts to show that, on the best way to develop this approach, it turns out that although infanticide is wrong, most abortions are all right. His attempt to establish this result is flawed -- or so I will argue. I Let me summarize Boonin s critique to the FLO argument. We have to consider five cases: (A) (B) The typical human fetus; The typical human infant; (C) (D) (E) The temporarily depressed suicidal; The temporarily comatose adult; The typical human adult. A finer distinction is needed to deal with case A. We have (A1) (A2) The typical preconscious fetus; The typical conscious fetus. Since the fetus becomes conscious only at some point from 25 to 32 weeks after fertilization, and the vast majority of abortions occur earlier than that, claiming that it is all right to kill in case A1 is enough to endorse the general permissibility of abortion. According to Boonin, the FLO argument against abortion rests on the following principle: (P1) If an individual P has a future-like-ours F and if either (a) P now desires that F be preserved, or (b) P will later desire to continue having the experiences contained in F (if P is not killed), then P has a right to life. But there is a simpler, non disjunctive, FLO principle: (P2) If an individual P has a future-like-ours F and if P now desires that F be preserved, then P has a right to life. We assume that killing is wrong in cases B-E, and want to explain this in a FLO way. Boonin s central claim is that, despite appearances to the contrary, P2 is enough to account for the wrongness of killing in cases B-E. So, on grounds of parsimony, P2 is the better FLO principle -- and P2, unlike 2 P1, does not support the idea that the preconscious fetus has a right to life. Not all versions of P2 can do the job. If we say that P has a right to life if he has a future-like-ours F and now has the occurrent desire that F be preserved, we will be unable to explain the wrongness of killing the temporarily comatose adult. And since most of the time even a typical human adult do not has such occurrent desire, we will be also unable to deal with case E. But, in the same way we retain dispositionally our beliefs each time we go to bed, the comatose now has the dispositional desire that his FLO be preserved. So the dispositional desire version of P2 can account for the wrongness of killing in case D. And obviously also in case E. The depressed suicidal, however, does not desire now that her FLO be preserved -- not even dispositionally. Can P2 account for the wrongness of killing in this case? Not if we think that P has a right to life if he has a future-like-ours F and has now the actual desire that F be preserved. But since the suicidal would desire that her FLO be preserved if she had formed her desires under better conditions, we can say that she now has the ideal desire that her FLO be preserved. So the ideal desire version of P2 can account for the wrongness of killing in case C. Boonin argues forcefully that, when desires matter morally, dispositional desires are the relevant ones, and that the same is true of ideal desires, at least in those cases where the actual desires have been formed under significantly imperfect conditions, such as lack of important information or deep emotional distress. I think that his arguments for these claims are right. Therefore, I accept that the best versions both of P1 and P2 are the ideal dispositional desire ones. 3 3 But what about the human infant? Boonin attempts do deal with this case by claiming that, like in case C, the infant now has the ideal desire that his FLO be preserved. Let me quote at length the passage where he argues for this view: A newborn infant does have actual conscious desires. He has a desire to enjoy the sensation of warmth, for example, and the experience of satisfying his hunger. It is true, of course, that the infant cannot put the content of his desires into words, and so there is one sort of conscious desire that he does not have. But this does not mean that he does not have any conscious desires at all. It is also true that the newborn infant does not yet possess the concept of himself as a continuing subject of experience, and it is true that he does not understand that death involves the annihilation of such a subject. Indeed, it seems unlikely that he has any concepts at all and so in this sense unlikely that he understands anything. But if he did understand these things, he would surely desire that his future personal life be preserved since he would understand that this is necessary in order for him to enjoy the experiences that he does already consciously desire to enjoy. And in this sense, at least, he is no different from the hiker who would desire to turn right if he understood that this was necessary in order for him to satisfy the strongest desires that he does in fact have. On the account that I have been defending, then, all that is required for the newborn infant to satisfy the conditions sufficient for having the same right to life as you or I is that he have a future-like-ours and that he have actual conscious desires that can be satisfied only if his personal future is preserved (even if he does not understand that his personal future must be preserved in order for him to satisfy these desires). I do not believe that it is controversial to maintain that the 4 newborn infant has conscious desires in this fairly minimal sense, and so the account that I have been defending as superior to Marquis s can easily accommodate the claim that the newborn infant has a right to life. 4 The conscious fetus already has actual desires similar to the infant s desires. So Boonin thinks that, since the satisfaction of such conscious desires requires the preservation of the fetus s future, he too now has an ideal desire to preserve his FLO. For this reason, P2 supports the wrongness of killing in case A2. Case A1 is strikingly different. Because ideal desires are supervenient on actual desires, one cannot have the former without having the latter. As Boonin remarks, [t]here is no desire that a rock would have under more ideal circumstances, for example, because a rock does not have any desires to begin with. 5 Therefore, we cannot meaningfully say that the preconscious fetus has the ideal desire that his FLO be preserved, and so P2 does not have the implication that it is wrong to kill in case A1. I agree. I also agree with the claim that if the ideal dispositional desire version of P2 can account for the wrongness of killing in cases B-E, then this principle is better than P1. But P2 cannot account for the wrongness of killing the infant. II Having actual desires is a necessary condition for having ideal desires, but it is not a sufficient condition for having any kind of ideal desire. So is Boonin right when he claims that the infant, in virtue of his actual desires, already has the ideal desire that his future personal life be preserved? The infant surely does not have the ideal desire that his overall 5 future be preserved. The infant s actual desires, as Boonin examples make clear, are of a very limited sort, and their satisfaction only requires at most the preservation of a tiny portion of his immediate future. Therefore, unlike the depressed suicidal, he has only the ideal desire that a tiny, insignificant part of his FLO be preserved. Is this enough to say that under P2 the infant has a right to life? Here we have to distinguish between two versions of this principle: (P2a) If an individual P has a future-like-ours F and if P now desires that his overall F be preserved, then P has a right to life. (P2b) If an individual P has a future-like-ours F and if P now desires that any part of F, no matter how small, be preserved, then P has a right to life. P2a clearly fails to explain the wrongness of killing the infant. But, at least if we accept Boonin s rationale for the FLO approach to the ethics of killing, P2b also fails to give us a strong reason to reject infanticide. That rationale comes in this passage: The great merit of the future-like-ours approach in general is that it enables us to account for the prima facie wrongness of killing by understanding killing as one instance of a more general category of acts that are prima facie wrong: acts that frustrate the desires of others. It is in general prima facie wrong to act in ways that frustrate the desires of others, and in general more seriously prima facie wrong to act in ways that frustrate their stronger desires. And surely the desire to enjoy one s personal future is one of the stronger desires that one expects others to have. 6 6 True, the desire to enjoy one s overall personal future is one of the stronger desires most people have. The problem is that the infant does not have such an ideal desire. What he ideally desires is something much weaker: that a very tiny portion of his immediate future be preserved. Therefore, if we assume Boonin s rationale for the FLO approach, from P2b we will get the conclusion that infanticide, even if it is prima facie wrong, is easily justifiable, because it only frustrates a rather insignificant desire. So neither P2a nor P2b adequately support the rejection of infanticide. There is another reason why P2 fails to explain the wrongness of killing in case B. The infant s actual desires are indeed of an extremely limited sort. He just likes certain conscious experiences (e.g., the sensation of warmth) while he is having them, and so desires to enjoy them as long as they last, and dislikes other conscious experiences (e.g., the sensation of hunger) while he his having them, and so desires to satisfy the needs that prompted them as long as they last. When the conscious experiences cease, these desires vanish with them. So an unconscious infant does not desire, not even dispositionally, to enjoy the sensation of warmth and the experience of satisfying his hunger. A temporarily unconscious infant, unlike the temporarily comatose adult, seems to have no actual dispositional desires that can be satisfied only if his personal future is preserved. Therefore, a temporarily unconscious infant has no ideal desire that his FLO be preserved. This means that under P2 such an infant has no right to life. And this means that under P2 infanticide will not be prima facie wrong if the baby is already unconscious, or maybe even if, before performing the killing, we make him unconscious with some powerful anesthesics. So P2 does not adequately support the rejection of infanticide. 7 There is an obvious way to amend P2 in order to make it grant the right to life to the temporarily unconscious infant. We could say that an individual P has a right to life if P has a future-like-ours F and P now desires that F be preserved or P had such a desire some time in the past. But this revision would be hopelessly ad hoc, and with it P2 would cease to be obviously better than P1 on grounds of parsimony. III So far I have assumed that P1 is the principle upon which the FLO case against abortion rests. But I think that this assumption is wrong. The real FLO principle is just this: (P3) If an individual P has a future-like-ours, then P has a right to life. Somewhat surprisingly, at the beginning of his critique to Marquis s argument Boonin accepts P3, and not P1, as the moral principle underlying the FLO case against abortion. For he says that, according to Marquis, the property that the individual s [in cases B-E] share and that is sufficient to make killing them seriously wrong is the property of having what he calls a future-like-ours. (2003: 57). This is really Marquis s view. 7 A sufficient condition for having a right to life is just the possession of a FLO, not the possession of a FLO plus something else. Because Boonin s critique is entirely addressed to P1, it affords us no reason at all to prefer P2 to P3, and by the standards of parsimony this latter principle is clearly superior to the other two. Let us accept P3, then, as the right FLO principle. By taking P3 as a premise, we only need to add a further premise in order to reach the conclusion that the typical human fetus has a right to life: 8 (F) The typical human fetus has a future-like-ours. Boonin does not challenge this premise. Since he gives us no reasons to reject either P3 or F, should we conclude that his critique is entirely irrelevant to evaluate the soundness of the FLO argument against abortion? 8 No. After we accept P3 as the right FLO principle, there is still room for disagreement about the right FLO concept. And there is a pair of alternative FLO concepts that strongly resembles the pair P1-P2 of alternative FLO principles. For this reason, although Boonin s critique is misguided because it addresses a wrong FLO principle, it can be restated (with the necessary adjustments) as a defense of a particular FLO concept. The success of such defense, as we shall now see, would amount to the conclusion that the typical human fetus has not a future-like-ours. The FLO argument against abortion would thus be unsound. What is the right FLO concept? What property one should have in mind when one talks of having a future-likeours? Fortunately, no detailed answer to this question is required for the present discussion, but a cursory clarification is in order. Having a FLO is matter of having a future that contains valuable experiences. Maybe it is also a matter of having valuable activities, projects, commitments, but for the sake of simplicity let us restrict ourselves to experiences. Not every future that contains valuable experiences is a FLO. An oyster-like future is not a FLO, no matter how much pleasure there is in it. If an individual has a FLO, some of the valuable experiences contained in her future must have a certain quality. Perhaps a chimpanzee-like future is a FLO, but maybe the experiences with the required quality are accessible only to human beings. It is very hard, or even impossible, to specify adequately the higher goods that 9 must be present in any FLO. However, the possession of a FLO surely involves having a future with valuable experiences that are above a certain qualitative threshold. 9 Let us call experiences V to those experiences. Presumably, not any future with some experiences V is a FLO. A future is not to be regarded as a FLO if it contains too few of such experiences, or too many experiences with negative value (e.g., an enormous amount of physical pain). So let us say that having a FLO is a matter of having a future that contains some adequate balance of valuable experiences V. Moreover, it seems that those who have a FLO must value or desire to have such experiences some time in their lives. So this is a plausible way to identify the property of having a FLO: (C1) An individual P has a future-like-ours iff his future contains an adequate balance of valuable experiences V and P now desires or will later desire to have such experiences. If one takes C1 as accounting for the right FLO concept, premise F remains acceptable, for it can be said that the typical human fetus will later desire to have the relevant experiences. But in the same way Boonin advances P2 as an alternative to P1, one can propose the following, more parsimonious, alternative to C1: (C2) An individual P has a future-like-ours iff his future contains an adequate balance of valuable experiences V and P now desires to have such experiences. From C2 it follows that the typical preconscious human fetus has no future-like-ours -- and thus that premise F is false -- 10 because he does not have any present desires at all. But is C2 a plausible alternative to C1? Does it allow us to deal properly with the cases above considered? It could be argued that the comatose and the suicidal both have a FLO under C2, for the former now dispositionally desires, and the latter now ideally desires, to have the relevant experiences. Therefore, by P3, both have a right to life. However, C2 leads to the undesirable conclusion that the human infant does not have a FLO. Since the satisfaction of the infant s rudimentary actual desires surely does not require having any valuable experiences above a reasonably high qualitative threshold, we are left with no grounds to say that he now has an ideal desire to have such experiences. For this reason, C2 does not allow us to explain in a FLO way why infanticide is wrong. I conclude that, even if we try to make Boonin s critique relevant to the assessment of Marquis s argument by reshaping it as critique to a particular FLO concept, the wrongness of infanticide precludes its success, at least as an attempt to establish the moral permissibility of abortion on terms that the critics of abortion already accept. 1 David Boonin A Defense of Abortion. Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. 2 Donald Marquis. Why Abortion is Immoral. The Journal of Philosophy 1989; 76: Boonin just discusses the actual occurrent desire version of P1, because he thinks that this is the FLO principle advanced by Marquis. 4 Boonin, op. cit. note 1, pp Ibid. p Ibid. p Marquis says, e.g., that for any killing where the victim did have a valuable future like ours, having that future by itself is sufficient 11 to create the strong presumption that the killing is seriously wrong. Marquis, op. cit. note 2, p This argument obviously includes a third premise: if the typical human fetus has a right to life, then abortion is normally wrong.

J. Goodison Co. receives $519K federal grant for supplies, staff
J. GOODISON CO. will receive a $518,538 federal grant to purchase equipment and expand its staff. Above, J. Goodison Co.'s travel lift, the largest in New England. / COURTESY J. GOODISON CO.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – Local shipyard company J. Goodison Co. will receive a $518,538 federal grant to purchase equipment and expand its workforce, the Rhode Island congressional delegation announced Friday.
The grant comes from the U.S. Maritime Administration's fiscal year 2019 Small Shipyard Grant Program.
Goodison Co. operates in the Quonset Business Park and provides repair services to commercial and government vessels, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration vessels and U.S. Coast Guard cutters. The veteran-owned company also provides services to the U.S. Navy, General Dynamics Electric Boat and Specialty Dining Services.
"Rhode Island's shipyards are among the best in the country," stated Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., Friday. "The Small Shipyard Grant Program helps these local businesses compete to build and service ships for the government and private sector, bringing more jobs and opportunities to the Ocean State and enhancing our domestic shipbuilding and manufacturing base. As always, this was a competitive process, and I commend J. Goodison for putting together a strong application."
The company will use the funds to purchase portable diesel-engine-driven welder generators, a portable dust collector and other supporting equipment. The company will also use the funds to expand its workforce. The purchases and hiring are expected to create additional opportunities for its vendors and subcontractors, the delegation said.
The grant program is made available to U.S. shipyards with fewer than 1,200 production employees. The delegation said the program was developed to increase efficiency, competitive operations, quality ship construction, repairs, and reconfiguration in small shipyards across the United States. The program is also expected to increase employee skills and enhance productivity related to shipbuilding, ship repair and associated industries.
"This grant will help give our workers the modern tools they need for the shipyard to provide faster and more efficient service in a safer, more environmentally sustainable manner," said Jack Goodison, owner and partner of the company, in a statement. "It is a win for the entire Northeast maritime community. We thank Sen. Reed and the entire Rhode Island congressional delegation for supporting this project and supporting our Quonset Point operation."

Viennese founder of 'Hollywood Sound' paid homage 50 years after his death
By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press
Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart ... Korngold?
Countless millions have at least heard of the classical masters associated with Vienna. Not only the titanic trio of Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johannes Brahms viewed the city at some point as their musical home.
So did Anton Bruckner, Joseph Haydn, Gustav Mahler and Franz Schubert.
But a half century after his death, mention of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, another great musical son of Vienna, often draws blank stares here and elsewhere _ despite his legacy as the founder of the "Hollywood Sound."
But in a small way, this year has been Korngold's moment in a Vienna that is still recovering from the marathon musical and marketing excesses of the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 2006.
The city's Jewish Museum is devoting a major exhibition to the man whose classical career fell victim to a triple whammy _ a domineering music critic father, the advent of atonal music, and finally, the rise of Hitler that perpetuated his self-exile to the U.S.
A sampling of his famed film scores was performed for the first time last month in one of the Austrian capital's prestigious concert halls. And a film retrospective was dedicated to the Vienna's musical "Wunderkind" of the early 20th century who, neglected at home, morphed into the creator of the Hollywood soundtracks that continue to set the standard.
It's a tribute that may be 50 years late: Only a handful of his classical works remain popular.
But Korngold has established a huge musical niche _ and won two Oscars _ through nine works for film. They include genre-creating swashbucklers for Warner Brothers like "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938), in the lush operatic style that initially made his name.
Korngold himself saw no difference between his classical and screen writing, declaring: "Even if I wanted to, I could not write music below my own standards." He called his screen music "operas without singing," and experts consider his film compositions on par with much the world of "serious music" has to offer.
"Like Mozart, he wrote," says composer and arranger John Mauceri. "It didn't matter whether he wrote a concert, an opera, or light entertainment, he wrote the highest quality music."
His symphonic creations for the screen _ and those of successors following in his footsteps _ have been enjoyed by millions more attuned to melodies from "Lord of the Rings' than Ludwig van's "Fifth." And some of Hollywood's greatest screenwriters freely acknowledge the debt their industry owes the man who, while lionized by the movie moguls, suffered from the perception that his music was not taken seriously in Vienna.
"Anyone who works with music and film feels part of this historical line _ the golden years of what became known as the 'Hollywood Sound,'" said Howard Shore, whose credits include scoring Tolkien's "Ring." Even now, "the compositional ideas" of writing music for film derive from Korngold and his contemporaries, the Oscar and Grammy winner told The Associated Press.
Mauceri, founder of Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and chancellor of the North Carolina School of the Arts, calls Korngold's musical legacy "so important they tend to dominate our conversation" about the history of music in cinema.
"Millions of people ... heard his music through the medium of film," said Mauceri, who conducted the Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna in a Nov. 29 death-day retrospective of Korngold works and contemporary film music at the city's art deco Konzerthaus.
"When you hear 'Harry Potter,' and 'Star Wars' _ that's something Vienna can be proud of," he said.
And yet Korngold viewed his legacy as a tragic mistake _ the result of a promising "classical" career gone awry.
Recognized by age 10 as a musical prodigy, Korngold logged his share of early operatic and symphonic successes.
As one of the last proponents of sweeping German romanticism, he was at one point the most performed German-speaking composer of his era. By the time he was in his 30s, his works were played by some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, and his most popular opera, "Die Tote Stadt," was staged by dozens of major houses, including the Met in New York.
But with the rise of Arnold Schoenberg and other masters of atonality, detractors increasingly found his lush and sweeping melodies out of date.
Adding to his woes were the victims of his father, Julius, one of Europe's most influential music critics of the day. Soloists and conductors savaged by Julius took their revenge on Erich, refusing to perform his works.
Sensitive and withdrawn, the younger Korngold retreated into the world of operetta, focusing on arrangements and adaptations that would soon be reflected in his Hollywood era. His first trip to Hollywood was in 1934, to work with Max Reinhardt on the film classic "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Hitler annexed Austria four years later while Korngold was visiting the U.S. As a Jew, Korngold was unable to return home. But the composer steeped in Old World traditions never stopped yearning for his musical and emotional roots _ and for the city and continent that rejected him well past the Hitler era.
Still, Mauceri feels Vienna has made amends.
"There is a willingness (there) to accept that he is part of Vienna's culture," he said. "What is significant is that 50 years after his death, Vienna is ready to reconsider his assessment of him."
