Bring breakfast and a blanket, and enjoy your morning in the garden with this live theater performance of traditional Greek plays. Traditionally, Greek Theater is performed at dawn, but these performances begin at 9 a.m., with a special pre-show discussion starting at 8:30 a.m.
In a time of protests and the fall of tyrants, Sophocles' Antigone seems both timely and timeless. At its root are the basic conflicts between individual and state, human and divine law, logic and passion, conflicts between the genders and generations. The play first and foremost tells the tale of a young woman whose actions are motivated by family, concern for the unwritten law of the gods and the duty to bury her dead brother, leading directly to her trial and death. But the play also focuses on the tragic downfall of Creon whose single-minded devotion to the state results in the loss of both wife and son. A plot pattern of divine punishment involving Creon emerges from Antigone's self-sacrifice. The double plot action is counter-pointed by one of Sophocles' richest and most lyrical choruses. This play fascinates philosophers for its interplay of ideas, fascinates the cultural historians for its look at 5th century Athens, and fascinates the modern playgoer for its fast-paced plot, complex and contradictory characters, and almost inevitable movement toward tragic loss and death. A memorable Sat. morning!

Organic cells each contain a cellular membrane, a barrier which acts as the cell's "gatekeeper," deciding whether different molecules can pass into or out of a cell through tiny holes called nanopores. Living organisms use these membranes to transport molecules and nerve impulses between cells.
Professor Ilya Zharov is developing techniques for creating artificial versions of nanopores. These "biomimetic nanopores" could lead to more effective sensing of hazardous materials, separation of chemical compounds, and drug delivery systems.
Science Night Live public lectures offer a casual social and educational event in downtown Salt Lake. NOTE NEW LOCATION! (We really enjoyed the previous years' Keys On Main location and are stressing at the thought of entering a sports bar; but the science should be equally good, so we're game.)

| Fowl Play: From backyard to table--A duckling feast, sevillana style
--by Benjamin Bombard
Last night we cooked up the two ducklings we harvested a couple months back. It was quite a day in the kitchen. First, I baked a couple loaves of sourdough bread. Then I made a delicious soup of zucchini, potato, kale, chard, onions and garlic, all harvested from our garden, and a chunk of demi-glace to give it a delicious kick. Then I prepped some pie crusts. After all that, I set in on making pato a la Sevillana (duck with olive in sherry sauce)...(read more).
