Mummers have strutted and
twirled at Philadelphia’s annual
New Year’s Day parade, a colorful
celebration that features string
bands, comic brigades, elaborate
floats and plenty of feathers and
sequins.
Participants danced wildly a nd
toted parasols Friday down
Broad Street, the city’s main
north-south thoroughfare, during the 116th edition of what has
been called Philadelphia’s Mardi
Gras.
New this year was the
“Philadelphia Division,” meant to
inject some diversity into the
parade, with two new Hispanic
performance groups, a black drill
team and the LGBT Miss Fancy
Brigade.
But some critics called the
parade offensive, with one performing group painting their
faces brown to portray Mexicans
and a comic brigade mocking
Caitlyn Jenner.
Dozens of activists from the
Black Lives Matter movement
used the parade to stage a
protest.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — She
began as a 1970s soul singer
hyped as the next Aretha Franklin
and peaked in the 1990s as an oldfashioned stylist and time-defying
duet partner to her late father, Nat
“King” Cole.
Natalie Cole, who died Thursday
in Los Angeles at age 65, was a
Grammy winning superstar honored and haunted by comparisons
to others.
“Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ...
with dignity, strength and honor.
Our beloved Mother and sister will
be greatly missed and remain
UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts
forever,” read a statement from her
son, Robert Yancy, and sisters
Timolin and Casey Cole.
According to her family, Cole
died of complications from ongoing
health issues. She had battled
drug problems and hepatitis that
forced her to undergo a kidney
transplant in May 2009. Cole’s
older sister, Carol “Cookie” Cole,
died the day she received the
transplant. Their brother, Nat Kelly
Cole, died in 1995.
“I had to hold back the tears,”
Franklin, who had feuded with
Cole early in Cole’s career, said in a
statement. “She fought for so long.
She was one of the greatest singers
of our time. She represented the
Cole legend of excellence and class
quite well.”
A mezzo-soprano with striking
range and power, Cole was destined to be a singer, the only question being what kind. She was
inspired by her dad at an early age
and auditioned to sing with him
when she was just 11 years old.
She was 15 when he died of lung
cancer, in 1965, and would reunite
with him decades later in a way
only possible through modern
technology.
All along, she was moved by and
sometimes torn between past and
present sounds. As a young
woman, she had listened to
Franklin and Janis Joplin and for
years was reluctant to perform her
father’s material. She sang on
stage with Frank Sinatra, but also
covered Bruce Springsteen’s “Pink
Cadillac.”
“I was determined to create my
own identity,” she wrote in her
TE

Natalie Cole
2010 memoir “Love Brought Me
Back.”
The public loved her either way.
She made her recording debut in
1975 with “Inseparable,” and the
music industry welcomed her with
two Grammy Awards — one for
best new artist and one for best
female R&B vocal performance for
her buoyant hit “This Will Be (An
Everlasting Love).” Her quick success and the similarities to
Franklin, another mezzo-soprano,
did not please the “Queen of Soul,”
who at the time called Cole “just a
beginner.”
“The first time I saw Aretha was
at an industry banquet,” Cole later
told Franklin biographer David
Ritz. “She gave me an icy stare and
turned her back on me. It took me
weeks to recover.”
Backed by the writing-producing team of Chuck Jackson and
Marvin Yancy, she followed with
such hits as “Our Love” and “I’ve
Got Love on My Mind,” and by
1979 had a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. But her career faded
in the early 1980s and she battled
heroin, crack cocaine and alcohol
addiction for many years. She
spent six months in rehab in 1983.
Her recovery began later in the
decade
with
the
album
“Everlasting” and reached multiplatinum heights with her 1991
album, “Unforgettable ... With
Love.” No longer trying to keep up
with current sounds, Cole paid
tribute to her father with reworked
versions of some of his best-known
songs, including “That Sunday
That Summer,” ‘’Too Young” and
“Mona Lisa.”
Her voice was overlaid with her
dad’s in the title cut, offering a delicate duet a quarter-century after
his death.
Although criticized by some as
morbid, the album sold some 14
million copies and won six
Grammys, including album of the
year as well record and song of the
year for the title track duet.
While making the album, Cole
told The Associated Press in 1991,
she had to “throw out every R&B
lick that I had ever learned and
every pop trick I had ever learned.
With him, the music was in the
background and the voice was in
the front.”
“I didn’t shed really any real
tears until the album was over,”
Cole said. “Then I cried a whole lot.
When we started the project it was
a way of reconnecting with my dad.
Then when we did the last song, I
had to say goodbye again.”
She was nominated for an
Emmy award in 1992 for a televised performance of her father’s
songs.
“That was really my thank you,”
she told People magazine in 2006.
“I owed that to him.”
Another father-daughter duet,
“When I Fall in Love,” won a 1996
Grammy for best pop collaboration
with vocals, and a follow-up
album, “Still Unforgettable,” won
for best traditional pop vocal
album of 2008.
She also worked as an actress,
with appearances on TV’s
“Touched by an Angel” and “Grey’s
Anatomy.”
But she was happiest touring
and performing live.
“I still love recording and still
love the stage,” she said on her
website in 2008, “but like my dad,
I have the most fun when I am in
front of that glorious orchestra or
that kick-butt big band.”
Cole was born in 1950 to Nat
“King” Cole and his wife, Maria
Ellington Cole, a onetime vocalist
with Duke Ellington who was no
relation to the great bandleader.
Her father’s graceful easygoing
style was admired by Sinatra, Ray
Charles and many others and, in
1956, he became the first black
entertainer to host a national TV
variety show.

Japanese research institute earns
the right to name element 113
TOKYO (AP) — A team of
Japanese scientists have met the
criteria for naming a new element, the synthetic highly
radioactive element 113, more
than a dozen years after they
began working to create it.
Kosuke Morita, who was leading the research at the government-affiliated Riken Nishina
Center for Accelerator-Based
Science, was notified of the decision on Thursday by the U.S.based International Union of
Pure and Applied Chemistry.
“Now that we have conclusively
demonstrated the existence of
element 113, we plan to look to
the unchartered territory of element 119 and beyond,” Morita
said in a statement.
A joint working group of the
IUPAC and International Union of
Pure and Applied Physics also
announced decisions on recognition of discoveries of elements
115, 117 and 118.
Discoveries of atomic elements
have often involved competition
between scientists. The news is a
morale booster for Riken, which
has undergone a reorganization
of some of its research following a
scandal over stem-cell research.
“To scientists, this is of greater
value than an Olympic gold
medal,” Ryoji Noyori, former
Riken president and Nobel laureate in chemistry told reporters.
Riken had earlier said japonium might be proposed as a name
for element 113, which provisionally had been named ununtrium.
However, Morita has no specific
candidates under consideration.
He said he planned to spend part
of next year considering a name
for the element.
The IUPAC group gave collabo-

KosuKe MoritA of Riken Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based
Science points at periodic table of the elements during a press conference in Wako, Saitama prefecture, near Tokyo Thursday. A team
of Japanese scientists have met the criteria for naming a new element, the synthetic highly radioactive element 113, more than a

Institute for Nuclear Research in

Russia;
Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory in
California and the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory in Oak Ridge
the right to name elements 115
and 117. Separately, scientists
from the Dubna laboratory and
Lawrence Livermore were invited
to name element 118.
Element 113 sits between
copernicium and flerovium on
the periodic table. A joint team of
scientists in Russia and the
Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory in the U.S. also were
vying for naming rights for 113
after announcing its discovery in
2004.
Morita and his group used
Riken’s linear accelerator and ion
separator to search for new synthetic superheavy elements,
beginning in the late 1980s. In
2003, his team began working to
create element 113 by bombarding a thin layer of bismuth with
zinc ions traveling at about 10
percent the speed of light, Riken
said.
Isotopes of element 113 have a
very short half-life, lasting for less
than a thousandth of a second,
making its discovery very difficult.
