“Transmigration” begins with city sounds–cars, sirens, footsteps–and a boy’s voice repeating the word “missing” like a tolling bell. Over hushed strings and chorus, the names begin: “John Florio, Christina Flannery…” From up in the third tier, a mournfully soaring trumpet. A false climax with kettledrums and jangling bells coming at you in waves, then a sudden quiet space and back to street noise. Then the real climax, the chorus savagely belting out, “I wanted to dig him out....

The joyous celebration of releasing balloons into the air has long bothered environmentalists, who say the pieces that fall back to earth can be deadly to seabirds and turtles that eat them. So as companies vow to banish plastic straws, there are signs balloons will be among the products to get more scrutiny, even though they’re a very small part of environmental pollution. This year, college football powerhouse Clemson University is ending its tradition of releasing 10,000 balloons into the air before games, a move that’s part of its sustainability efforts....

Pomeranz was injured when he whacked the back of a chair Monday night following his shortest outing of the season.

Pomeranz took the loss Monday night against Texas after allowing a career-high eight runs — seven earned — in 3 2-3 innings....

Hesse was born to an Orthodox Jewish family in Hamburg, Germany, in 1936. She escaped the Holocaust on a children’s train to Amsterdam and, reunited with her parents, moved to New York in 1939. After studying art at Yale, she met and married the sculptor Tom Doyle in 1961, and began a career as a painter. Truth be told, she was an ordinary one. She first did brushy, introspective portraiture, then tried to liven things up with compositions that looked cartoony....

Bruno Manser has always had a streak of daring. Last year the Swiss environmentalist descended by motorized paraglider into the remote Malaysia state of Sarawak. He wanted to deliver a symbolic toy lamb to Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud during a Muslim holiday. The minister was not amused and quickly deported the activist. Manser had already been banned from the country for his efforts to protect the Penans, who are one of the world’s few remaining nomadic rain-forest tribes....

Analysis Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, who has built his campaign on stopping illegal immigration, boycotted the Dec. 9 debate at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., because it was being broadcast in Spanish. The rest of the pack, whom Tancredo accused of “pandering” to Spanish-speaking voters, attended: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson. Three-thirds of the Uninsured Former Arkansas Gov....

During the Fourth Age, a new Dwarven realm emerges and is led by none other than Gimli, son of Gloin, who was himself a member of the fellowship on the quest to destroy the One Ring. The quest takes the friends through many strange paths, and into many great battles for Middle Earth. Whilst Frodo and Sam are making their way to Mordor, lead on their own treacherous journey by the creature Gollum, Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn are fighting to protect the Rohan stronghold of Helm’s Deep....

Bilbo Baggins first came into possession of the ring when he beat the creature Gollum at a game of riddles during his own adventures under the lonely mountains several years prior. The ring is then passed down to his heir Frodo, who believes that he must only take it as far as Rivendell, and then his part in the quest will be over. However, this is sadly not the case, and Elrond reveals during the council that the ring cannot stay there, for it would too easily fall back into the hands of its evil master....

Perhaps this situation has happened but it is not mentioned really in the Lord of the Rings universe. So perhaps it was just not recorded for one reason or another. In any case, all the famous elf-human pairings seem to be elven women marrying mortal men. And that’s interesting. Surely at some point, an elven man must have fallen for a mortal woman. Or maybe not? To understand the answer to these questions, it is crucial to understand the reasons behind the rare elf-human pairings....

Too bad. This year’s parties at Comdex (a.k.a. the Zoo) were as lively as ever. But techies seeking direction found mainly confusion. As usual, they invaded in force – 190,000 of them. They chowed down on three-alarm chili, raced armadillos and talked ardently about the Information Highway, the Internet and the big opportunities in electronic retailing. But wait. Weren’t these last year’s hot topics? And where were all the great new products, the Widget 1....

Lou Lamoriello and the Islanders are having discussions regarding a possible position within the organization, according to Sportsnet’s John Shannon. That specific report surfaced late Friday night, but speculation on Lamoriello’s possible departure has increased gradually ever since Leafs president Brendan Shanahan moved Lamoriello into a special advisor role two weeks ago — essentially phasing him out of the team’s future plans.

It was a big week for Armstrong anyhow. Last Friday at New York’s JVC Jazz Festival, eight of his lost compositions suddenly burst into the canon, including a fuller version of his classic ““Weather Bird.’’ In fact, for someone who died in 1971, Armstrong keeps a consistently high profile. The 1988 ““Good Morning, Vietnam’’ soundtrack made his 1967 recording of ““What a Wonderful World’’ a surprise hit, and the ’90s have brought enough reissues to keep fans broke but happy....
