# Tom Durkin (sportscaster)

Tom Durkin (born November 30, 1950) is a semi-retired American sportscaster and public address announcer specializing in Thoroughbred horse racing. He was the race caller for NBC Sports from 1984 through 2010 and served as announcer for the New York Racing Association from 1990 until retiring in 2014. For his career-long dedication, he was awarded the Eclipse Award of Merit in January 2015.

## Life and career

Durkin was born in Chicago, Illinois. He studied drama at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. In 1971, he was hired as a race caller at Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred races at county fairs in Wisconsin. He did this each summer through 1975 then the following year was employed by the Daily Racing Form as a call taker responsible for documenting the comments and statistics used in the official charts of the races at Cahokia Downs and Thistledown Racecourse. He went on to work as a race caller at Florida Downs in Oldsmar, Florida, Miles Park in Louisville, Kentucky, Quad City Downs in East Moline, Illinois, Balmoral Park Racetrack in Crete, Illinois, Hialeah Park Race Track in Hialeah, Florida, Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
At The Meadowlands, Durkin called the match race in 1989 Hambletonian Stakes harness race between Park Avenue Joe and Probe: the horses finished in a dead heat, becoming the only co-winners of the prestigious race.

### NYRA

In 1990, Durkin was hired to call races at the New York Racing Association's Aqueduct Racetrack Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course. Like his predecessor at NYRA, Marshall Cassidy, Durkin also served as TV voice on important stakes races on ESPN beyond the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup series.
On May 10, 2014, Durkin announced that he would retire from his announcer position on August 31 near end of the 2014 Saratoga meet. He owed his "inexpressible gratitude" to the racing fans and horseplayers in a retirement speech following his final race call.
Almost a decade later, Durkin came out of retirement to call the 2023 Belmont Stakes for FOX as part of the network’s coverage for its debut of the race.

### NBC

Durkin served as the Breeders Cup's chief TV voice from its inception through 2005 and was a longtime broadcaster on NBC as part of the network's sportscasting crew for horse races, providing analysis, commentary and features in addition to the descriptions of races.
Durkin earned fame in this decade from calling the U.S. Triple Crown races for NBC, which took over coverage of the events in 2001. Due to his contract with NBC, Durkin no longer called Breeders' Cup races, starting from 2006 as those races moved to ESPN. However, he continued calling the Belmont Stakes, which aired on ABC because of his position as the track announcer at Belmont Park.
On April 26, 2011, Durkin announced his decision not to renew his contract with NBC Sports, citing anxiety and stress. “It’s just the stress got to be too much,” he told Daily Racing Form.

### In popular culture

In 1980, Durkin appeared as a contestant on the game show Match Game PM and won $1,000.
# La Chanson d'Ève

La Chanson d'Ève, Op. 95, is a song cycle by Gabriel Fauré, of ten mélodies for voice and piano. Composed during 1906–10, it is based on the collection of poetry of the same name by Charles van Lerberghe. It is Fauré's longest song cycle.

## Composition

Fauré was introduced to van Lerberghe's poems by Octave Maus. The songs were composed over the period June 1906 to January 1910. "Crépuscule" came first, in June 1906; its origin was as a re-setting of the music of "Mélisande's Song". The latter, an 1898 setting for voice of "La Chanson de Mélisande" from Act 3 of Fauré's Pelléas et Mélisande, was his only setting of a text in English.
Fauré only conceived the idea of a song cycle after "Crépuscule" had been published as an independent song. The composition of "Paradis" and "Prima verba" followed in September, while Faure was visiting Stresa and Lausanne. "Roses ardentes" and "L'Aube blanche" came in June 1908, and the rest was composed from July 1909. Over these years, Fauré was also working on his opera Pénélope.

## Settings

Fauré's settings, selected from three of the four sections of van Lerberghe's collection, are as follows:
* "Paradis" (from Premières paroles)
* "Prima verba" (from Premières paroles)
* "Roses ardentes" (from Premières paroles)
* "Comme Dieu rayonne" (from Premières paroles)
* "L'Aube blanche" (from Premières paroles)
* "Eau vivante" (from Premières paroles)
* "Veilles-tu, ma senteur de soleil?" (from La tentation)
* "Dans un parfum de roses blanches" (from Premières paroles)
* "Crépuscule" (from Crépuscule)
* "Ô mort, poussière d'étoiles" (from Crépuscule)

## Premieres

The first songs to be premiered were "Paradis", "Prima verba" and "Crépuscule", on 18 March 1908 at the Bechstein Hall, sung by Jeanne Raunay. The pianist was Fauré. On 26 May 1909 at the Salle Érard, Raunay and Fauré premiered "Roses ardentes", "Comme Dieu rayonne", "L'aube blanche" and "Eau vivante", as well as performing the three earlier songs.
Raunay and Fauré premiered the complete cycle on 20 – April 1910 at the first concert of the newly formed Société musicale indépendante. This occasion also saw the premieres of Claude Debussy's D'un cahier d'esquisses and Maurice Ravel's Ma mère l'oye. Ravel wrote to Fauré the next day that he had been extremely moved by Fauré's cycle.
The complete song cycle was published by Heugel in 1911, dedicated to Jeanne Raunay.
# S-curve (art)

* The Venus de Milo statue has an S-curve form.
* Diagram S-curve form of Doryphoros by Polykleitos
In the visual arts, an S-curve is an S-shaped curve that serves a wide variety of compositional purposes. The term is usually applied to the standing human figure bending first one way and then back the other. It may also be applied more generally, for example in landscape painting and photography.

## Human figure

In Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, the S-curve is a traditional art concept where the figure's body and posture is depicted like a sinuous or serpentine manner. It is related to and is an extension of the art term of contrapposto which is when a figure is depicted slouching or placing one's weight and thus center of gravity to one side. However, the S Curve involves more of the body than the contrapposto, and is therefore considered to be a more advanced technical development. The "S Curve" concept was probably invented by the famous Greek sculptor Praxiteles, son of Kifissodotos, who lived in the 4th century BC.
The Indian tribhanga ("three bend") pose is similar, but generally more pronounced, often with the neck also curved to one side. This goes back to at least 100 BC. The S-curve was revived in Gothic art from the 14th century onwards, especially in sculptures of the Madonna. Gothic figures in ivory, typically of the Madonna, had already acquired a "Gothic sway" to one side to fit into the curved tusk, and curving the head or upper body back the other gave a more satisfactory result.
The figura serpentinata is a variant or development of the pose. The term is usually applied only to art from the Renaissance onwards, and Donatello is often regarded as its inventor. While in all these periods the S-curve originated in sculpture, it was also used in two-dimensional figures in various other media.
* Madonna and Child, German, 14th-century
* Saint Barbara, German (?), 1490
* Abduction of a Sabine Woman, 1579–1583. Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence
* Indian tribhanga ("three bend") posed bronze Krishna playing flute, Odisha, c. 1800

## Landscape

An S-curve can help guide the viewer's eye through the image to the main subject at the end of the curve, but can also serve as a subject in and of itself. It has been variously described as dynamic, feminine, restful, and hypnotic. The S-curve is particularly prominent in a vertical composition, where it may be stacked to form a double S-curve for maximum effect.

# Adeline Morrison Swain

Adeline Morrison Swain (1820-1899) was an American writer, politician and suffragist. She was inducted into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in 2000.

## Life

Swain née Morrison was born on May 25, 1820, in Bath, New Hampshire. After completing her education she took up teaching in Vermont at the age of 16. There, she taught drawing, painting, and modern languages. In 1846 she married James Swain and the couple settled in Fort Dodge, Iowa, in 1858. In Fort Dodge she organized French, English, music, botany, and art classes specifically for young women. She went on to organize Fort Dodge's first women's suffrage meeting the following year.
Swain's main interests lay in public affairs and social reforms rather than the arts and sciences, with a particular focus on women's rights.In the early 1870s the couple built a large Victorian house in Fort Dodge. The house was grander than their income allowed and they rented out rooms to boarders and also made the house available for events. By 1879 they sold the house to Webb Vincent. In 1977 the Swain-Vincent House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Vincent House.
Swain was appointed as a correspondent of the Entomological Commission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture which led her, in 1877, to write a report documenting the devastation of crops brought on by the Colorado grasshopper. She subsequently became a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and became the first woman to present a paper at their national convention.
Swain was active in politics where she was affiliated with the Greenback Party. In 1883 Swain ran for Iowa Superintendent of Public Instruction. Though she lost, she was the first woman to run for statewide public office in Iowa and gained nearly 27,000 votes.
Swain died on February 3, 1899, in Illinois and was buried in Fort Dodge.

## Legacy

Swain was included in the 1893 publication A Woman of the Century. She was memorialized in the "Annals of Iowa, Vol. 4, No. 1 (1899)" and was inducted into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in 2000.
