New Publications- August/September, 2007
A highly anticipated and well-received addition to the Carl Fischer roster, Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a compilation of five tangos by the great Argentine composer, Astor Piazzolla, arranged for two pianos. The five piano pieces of the second Piazzolla volume are Fuga y misterio, Milonga del ángel, La muerte del ángel, Soledad and Michelangelo 70. Fuga y misterio was composed in 1968 as part of Piazzolla's hugely successful operetta Maria de Buenos Aires, which later became the signature tune for a popular Argentine television show entitled Tiempo Nuevo. Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a fantastic collection and is a must have for pianists. This piece comes as a highly anticipated addition to Astor Piazzolla-Tangos for Two Pianos, Volume 1.

Protocol: A Guide to the Collegiate Audition Process
The purpose of this book is to provide high school students with or without a private teacher with a comprehensive collection of materials that will satisfy the needs of most college/university music auditions. Many schools have specific requirements that can usually be obtained from their respective web sites. This text includes the most frequently requested audition requirements from online websites at many universities, and if it is the only guide that you purchase, you will be able to present a representative, well balanced audition. The editors of this collection have drawn from experiences as college/university music professors and from experiences supervising entrance auditions for large and small university music programs. This collection will aid students by exposing them to the expectations of the audition process, assisting their preparation for this process, and creating a comfort level that allows students to present themselves in the best light possible. This book is an indispensable guide for every student considering auditioning for any collegiate music program.
Falling is a song cycle based on two poems by Kathryn Stripling Byers (Snowbird and Lost Soul) and excerpts from David Bottoms' longer three-part poem, In a U-Haul North of Damascus. The poems have been arranged in a sequence that forms a four-part narrative of conflict, separation and the possibility of consolation and renewal. Full of restless energy and bursts of passionate lyricism, Falling is a challenging work for a mature singer. The vocal range calls for a singer who can rise to the high B above that treble staff and descend to the F sharp below the piano part. This piece is transcribed from the orchestral original by the composer and Arthur Bloom, edited by Lisa Moore, and is challenging but idiomatic. The score and parts for the orchestral version are available from the publisher's rental department.

The Antient Concert, Op. 89
Based on an intriguing premise, this one act opera (or "dramatic recital"), images the novelist and poet James Joyce as a very young man, squaring off in a singing competition with the soon to be internationally renowned Irish singer John McCormick at the Antient Concert Rooms in Dublin in May of 1904. Joyce's mother, May and his then girl friend, later wife, Nora Barnacle observe and comment on the antics of the competing peacocks. The resulting fifty minute scene touches on the nature of the creative process, sex, death, national identity and artistic integrity. The punning libretto by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Paul Muldoon is well matched by Daron Hagen's richly allusive score which uses several well-known Irish songs of the period. Scored for string quartet (parts available on rental) or piano, this is a sophisticated piece designed to be performed by adept young singing actors

A Little Night and Day Music
Commissioned by Carl Fischer for a school band series in the 1970s, A Little Night and Day Music is a classic of the modern band repertoire. The "Night Music" section is a study in color and atmosphere and makes striking use of contemporary instrumental techniques including clusters and aleatory. The second section ("Day Music") is a bright and brassy contrast, full of drive and an exhilarating momentum. We are delighted to make this marvelous piece available once again.
New Bennett Band Book, Vol. 1
The Bennett Band Books published in four volumes starting in 1923 were used to teach the march form and style to millions of young band musicians in the middle of the twentieth century. Twelve of the legendary Henry Fillmore's tuneful band gems (written using the pseudonym Harold Bennett) have been collected together by Larry Clark to form the first volume of The New Bennett Band Books. This volume concentrates on 2/4 time and the keys of Bb major, Eb major, and Ab major. In addition, a helpful march warm-up section, composed by Larry Clark, is included to help you teach the march form and style to young students. There is also the added benefit of a full recording of each march performed by a professional band on the CD that is included in the full score. This is a valuable collection for any level band to use for marches at contest/ festival performance or for sight-reading purposes.
Symphony No. 3
The largest of David Maslanka's wind symphonies in scale and duration, Symphony No. 3 was commissioned by the University of Connecticut Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Gary Green, conductor and premiered by them in 1991. It is in five movements and lasts nearly 50 minutes. The moderate tempo and forceful character of the first movement contrast with the serene "nature" music of the second movement. The third movement, a fast and bristling scherzo largely in A Minor, is followed by two slower movements, both labeled "lament." The composer characterizes the music of these movements as both sorrowful and joyful. The fifth movement, in particular, has the lamenting character overcome by an ecstatic vision of natural beauty and the life force. Symphony No. 3 is arguably Maslanka's most profound and satisfying large-scale work and it ends in an unequivocal A Major, that has the feeling of a benediction. Large score and parts are available on rental.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
A Sumner family is looking for a new place to live and waiting for insurance to replace medical equipment their son needs after a damaging fire at their home.
The teen lives with a rare genetic disorder.
He's happy his family is okay and he's also grateful his most prized possession was unharmed.
16-year-old Jacob Entrekin suffers from muscular dystrophy. He made it out from the burning home with his wheelchair, but some equipment he lives by didn't, through it all he's still smiling.
"I'm taking it one day at a time and praying and thanking the Lord that we're ok," said Entrekin.
Encouraging words from Sumner teen Jacob Entrekin, who now must adjust to living temporarily without a home as he battles muscular dystrophy.
A fire started in the family's laundry room early Sunday morning, sweeping through one wing of the home, but damaging most of the house.
Jacob and his family made it out safely, but some of his medical equipment didn't.
His cough assist machine that pumps mucus from his lungs was damaged, and his special bed he needs to sleep on up-right is also no longer working.
Insurance will replace the items, but it'll be a lengthy process.
Jacob is happy his family made it out alive and is just a happy his specially modified pick-up wasn't damage by the flames.
He got the truck back in November after community members pitched in to fix it up.
"My truck is a part of my family. I know it may seem a little naive to think a truck is a part of the family, but it's a part of my family to me," said Entrekin.
For now, Jacob and his family are living in a hotel in Tifton. The teen attends Worth County High School.
He admits the transition has been difficult, but he's used to overcoming adversity.
Now, he says he's praying to God that he and his family get through this difficult time.
"As my shirt says, my lifeguard walks on water, so he's going to help me and I'm going to make it through it with him. I just have to take it day by day and pray that each day will get better and I know it will if I pray that it will," said Entrekin.
Jacob wants to show his gratitude for all of those who reached out and helped his family in this time of need.
"I would like to tell them thank you for bringing clothes and the other stuff. My grandpa is letting us barrow a room for all the clothes I got," said Entrekin.
This teen will keep his head held high as he goes through this trying time.
We spoke with Jacob's dad off camera. He too is appreciative of the community's support, but says what he needs now is a home capable of meeting Jacob's needs.
The company that works on Jacob's modified wheelchair lent him a battery until his insurance company can get him a new battery and a nearby pharmacy has replaced his nebulizer.

Drivemocion Rear Window LED Sign
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Transportation, Videos
Next time someone cuts you off on the highway, show them how you really feel with Drivemocion. The LED sign uses emoticons and animated messages to let others know what you are thinking. Stick it on your rear window with a suction cup and control it by remote up front. Powered by 4 AA batteries, the company claims they will last up to 4 months, unless you have a lot of road rage. There are 6 different types available for £24.99 to 29.99 (~$60.00, ) including one that uses words and another that uses a certain digit as the ultimate display of anger.

cool i need to buy one of this.
i can clearly sent my love toward the police that been following me..
just hope that i m not going to get busted using this thou
This is a good idea, living in the city, you get cut off all the time. Would be nice to send the people who can't drive, a message.
Perhaps this gadget was created to help prevent road rage! People who are angry could put this on the back of their car and light it up so the other person would know how they feel about their driving. This would prevent accidents from happening on the road.
Great, Just another way to cause ppl to be distracted and crash.
great I always need one of those. Since im a half a night crawler. lol. I would show. them to other good one.
ccol gadget.A must buy.
That's similar to my idea, except mine involves spray paint and a stencil that reads "BACK OFF @$$HOLE".
what a waste of perfectly good batteries.
Haha thats really funny, but as far as practical use, I find things like that very tacky—I refuse to put a bumper sticker on my car, maybe because it does not fit my personality really
Agreed. I hate bumper stickers, unless they're on Volkswagen vans. Anything else and they are completely out of place and ugly.
Surely this may distract the driver/the driver following you… Also imagine pressing the wrong buttons. e.g. Flirt instead of Sorry
@ Linu: That would just increase the hilarity.
And I've seen scrolling-LED signs on the backs of cars before, specifically in plastic license plate frames, and I was never really distracted by them.
I see a lot of road rage being escalated by this devise. Still cool though.
I hate when someone cuts me off and around here everyone is in a hurry. They are all the time going over the speed limit and if your not going over to then their mad. This gadget would be handy for me and cute to. I want one for myself.
lol! thats funny!
only problem is,
1. it would cause distraction and crashes like someone else said,
2. most likely the person behind you wouldnt know what the faces are there for, "wtf? why is their car smiling?"

How to Raise Baby on a Budget
Parenting on a budget may seem impossible—all those toys, all that gear, not to mention food, clothing, and furniture. How can you give your baby the best without draining your bank account? These smart tips will help.
Getting Groceries
Even financial advisors are befuddled when it comes to feeding your family. What percentage of your budget should go toward groceries? Turns out, this
varies depending on your region and your family's specific needs. However, there
are tips that can help any mom trim her spending at the store:
- Strategize: A little organization goes a long way. Keep a list and stick to it. Come armed with your coupons and knowledge of which items will be on sale (use your store's circular or website to stay in the know).
- Buy in Bulk: This won't work for fresh items like produce, but when it comes to paper products, canned goods, and other non-perishables, keep an eye out for sales and stock up. You can also hit up wholesalers like Sav-A-Lot.
More grocery tips continued on the next page!
More on Getting Groceries
Eat! Sit down to a meal before heading out to the store. Not only will you need the energy to navigate the aisles, shopping while hungry will lighten your wallet while weighing you down. We can't say it enough: Stick to the list!
Go generic: Are those brand names really worth it? Test your favorite products by comparing the ingredients on the labeled brands with those in the store-manufactured brands. You'll likely see little difference.
Compare prices: Do a little sleuthing to find out which stores have the best deals on the items you need. One-stop shopping may not be the best way to go; meat prices may be juicier at one store, while produce prices may pop at another. (Don't drive miles and miles out of your way for a bargain—gasoline and time are valuable, too!) Even within one store, you'll find options and a variety of prices for the same category of items. Really think about your uses and your preferences. Are you buying tomatoes to throw in a stew? Maybe cheaper will do. Will your kids only eat grape tomatoes? The $4 box may be a deal for all that vitamin C and fiber. Debating the organic choices? Check out which produce is worth an extra expense to buy organic.
Disposable Diapers
Newborns typically go through 80 diapers in a week, so you'd better have a plan that works for Baby's bum and your budget:
Sign up: If you're adamant about swathing Baby's bottom in a brand name, you'll find that it's almost always possible to get Huggies and Pampers at discounted prices. Go to their official websites and sign up to get coupons and rebates. You can also sign up with a baby club at your local supermarket or drugstore to get additional savings. If you do your homework, you'll never buy diapers at full price.
Supersize it: Jumbo packages of diapers are almost always a better deal than large sized ones.
Do the research: Compare generic diapers with brand name at a per diaper price. Factor in the time and gas you spend to get a deal, and again, take a look at which are offered at discounted rates.
Get help: If you're in real financial trouble, contact your local Pregnancy Center to get free diapers weekly.
Cloth Diapers
If you've decided to go with cloth diapers, not only are you saving the environment, you're saving bucks. But it doesn't stop here—get ready to conserve even more:
Lose the liners: Buy diapers that are thick enough to go without lining. If you're committed to having an extra layer of protection, go with washable liners instead of disposable.
Forget flats: Cloth diapers generally come in five models—our research revealed that most moms prefer "all-in-ones" that come wrapped in waterproof cloth or "prefolds" which have a thick absorbent pad and can be secured with Velcro or snaps. Imagine wrangling with flat diapers that you have to secure around your child with pins every time you change her. Remember: Time is money.
Surf for diapers: Once you've become familiar with the different brands, models, and sizes, buy your diapers online and save with sites like Green Mountain Diapers or Diaper Swappers.
Still deciding on disposable or cloth? Take our quiz to see which is right for you!
Frugal Formula Feeding
If you
formula feed Baby, you can find tons of opportunities to pinch pennies.
Powder power: Powder formula is loads less expensive than liquid. Buy the mix and stir it up yourself. (Be sure to follow measurements and instructions explicitly—too much water can be dangerous for Baby.)
Go generic: Major formula brands (like Similac and Enfamil) tend to be more expensive than generic formulas while quality remains similar. All formula is regulated by the FDA, which maintains specific nutritional and safety requirements. Shop around to decide what's worth the cost.
Saving with samples:: Register with companies (like Sam's Club and Walmart) to get free samples of formula sent straight to your home. This website will keep you up to date on opportunities to cash in on freebies.
Buy in bulk: Find out if you can get a deal on buying formula in mass quantities. Just make sure to check expiration dates and plan ahead.
Get real help: There is federal funding for low-income moms who formula feed. Find out if you qualify for a WIC grant.
Possible Pitfall: Do not attempt to concoct your own homemade formula. There are essential nutrients in store-bought formula that are provided in exact amounts to give baby a balanced diet. These are researched by medical scientists and required by the FDA.
No-Nonsense Nursery
Sure, frilly crib skirts are cute, but who needs 'em? Your baby sure doesn't, so take a close look at your kid's room to make it
functional while being frugal.
Pieces that "grow": Choose convertible furniture that grows with your baby, like cribs that transform into big-kid beds, or a Pack 'N Play that can serve as a place for Baby to sleep and later, a playpen. (Just keep in mind that it will be easier for Baby to eventually climb out of Pack 'N Play than a crib).
Get scrappy: With some crafty creativity you can put together some standard nursery pieces yourself. Instead of a changing station, a changing pad on top of a dresser will do! Need extra storage? Adjustable shelving saves space and cents.
Go second hand: Check out Goodwill and garage sales for some nursery staples, but never skimp on your baby's safety! Take a look at some of these second-hand dangers.
Get rid of gratuitous gear: Things like diaper genies and wiper warmers just aren't necessary. Check out moms' most useless baby items for clues on what you can do without.
Before you buy anything be sure to keep up on recalls.
Clip Coupons
Before you roll your eyes and click "Next," check out easy ways to get the discounts you need without drowning in newspaper.
Use eBay! That's right! Diaper and formula coupons are frequently auctioned off at a fraction of their value. WARNING: Be sure that the value of the coupon is worth more than what you're shelling out; check the price of shipping and any additional fees.
Click—don't clip! Go paperless with your coupons. Websites like these allow you to download the savings right onto your grocery loyalty card or your cellphone:
-P&G E-Saver
Print at home: You can find loads of coupons on the Internet and print them at home. Remember to keep the cost of printing in mind—ink jets ain't cheap. Try these sites for savings:
-Coupon Mountain (you don't have to register!)
Go classic: When all else fails, turn to your grocery store circular, the Sunday paper, and the packaging on your favorite foods.
Possible Pitfall: All amateurs should avoid one common coupon mistake. Don't get so psyched on the savings that you start buying things solely for the sake of the discount. Only use coupons for groceries and gear that are typically found in your home.
Cast Out Costly Clothes
Back away from the adorable outfits! Sure it's hard to resist those beautiful colors and fun fabrics, but your little one will grow out of them before you know it, so stick with these rules when shopping:
Make a list: Write out exactly what your babyneeds, not those too-cute items that will have you cooing all the way to the poor house.
Go second hand: Hit up friends and relatives for outgrown outfits, check out thrift stores and garage sales. Make sure you launder everything thoroughly before dressing Baby and make sure that the clothes meet current safety standards.
Off-season shopping: Sales start at the end of each season, so prepare by keeping a sharp eye out for great deals.
Get organized: Coordinate with your friends to set up "swap-meets." Set up a circle of swaps so that everyone can share clothes and hand off hand-me-downs.
Beating the Bottle
Major debates have sprung up on the subject of water. Is buying bottled really worth the cost? Proponents say that tap water in certain regions contains unregulated contaminants, while opponents say bottled water is a scam: Its packaging and transport is bad for the environment, it's expensive, and it's unnecessary! Our public water supply is already protected by the government. Additionally, plastic bottles may leach harmful phthalates into your baby's drink. So, what should you do?
Investigate: Check the quality of your local tap water
Remove: Find out if any existing contaminants may be removed using a filter (like Brita or Pur)
Refill: If your water is safe, buy glass, aluminum, or steel bottles for your family and keep filling up!
Bulk buy: If you think that bottled brands are essential for your family, then buy in bulk. Getting jugs delivered will be less expensive and better for the environment than buying cases of small bottles.
Never Skimp!
Baby's safety comes first, so check out items that you should never skimp on:
Car seats: If you don't know the original owner, second-hand car seats may not be safe for Baby. Even if the seat looks unscathed, you have no way of knowing if it has been a prior crash. Buy new and compare prices for the best deal.
Cribs: Cribs can be purchased second-hand, but you must make sure your crib meets these safety standards.
Toys: It's great to when you land some hand-me-downs, but make sure that toys are clean (especially bath toys, which can contain mold or mildew) and that they have not been recently recalled.
When it comes to vintage gear, always check for JPMA certification and closely monitor recalls. Watch out for these second-hand pitfalls to be thrift store savvy.
Consider Your Time
Being a DIY mom may seem like the best way to save on cash:
-Breastfeed, it's free!
-Whip up your own organic baby food, it's cheap!
-Knit your own baby booties!
-Concoct homemade cleansers!
Although these are wonderful things to do for your wallet and your baby's health, you also need to consider the value of your time. Remember: Those minutes are a commodity, and they may not be best spent with a knitting needle in hand. Take a moment to think about how you spend your day and the most efficient ways to stay frugal.
30 Money-Saving Tips for New Parents (Save $3,000 or More!)Surprise! Equipping, feeding, and outfitting your small offspring is likely to cost you between $9,000 and $12,000 during pregnancy and the first year of life, say Sandy Jones and Marcie Jones...view gallery

Caliente /kæliˈɛnti/, formerly known as Culverwell and Calientes is a city in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States. Its elevation is 4,300 feet (1,310 meters). The population was 1,130 at the 2010 census. The city's name originated from the nearby hot springs, as "caliente" is the Spanish word meaning "hot".[1]
Caliente was founded in 1901 on Culverwell Ranch (or just Culverwell), built on land owned by William and Charles Culverwell. The town was initially given the name of Calientes, due to the hot springs present in the area, but later in the year a post office was erected and workers removed the "s" from the name of the town. In 1905, the Union Pacific railroad was completed, followed by the construction of the train depot in the style of Spanish mission architecture. The train depot, built in 1923, is now home to some city and county offices and a museum that exhibits historical information. The town once reached a peak of over 5,000 residents, but its population continually declined.[1]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2), all of it land.
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 1,123 people, 408 households, and 241 families residing in the city. The population density was 603.7 people per square mile (233.1/km²).

FLDS controversy[edit]
According to testimony given in the criminal case, Utah v. Warren Jeffs, the Hot Springs Motel located in Caliente is the site of several forced marriages between under-aged girls and older men. The hotel was owned and operated by members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS Church). This was verified in grand jury testimony involving the trial Arizona v. Warren Jeffs. Warren Jeffs was the leader of the polygamous FLDS Church, and before his capture was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

WASHINGTON -- The American people should be allowed to hear the five accused 9/11 conspirators describe what the CIA did to them in secret overseas prisons, the American Civil Liberties Union said in a motion filed at the Guantánamo war court late Wednesday.
The eyes of the world are on this military commission, the civil liberties group wrote in the 32-page motion. It was posted on the war court web site uncensored and included graphic references to water torture from a leaked International Red Cross report.
At issue is the war court system that employs a 40-second delay of the proceedings, time enough to let an intelligence official hit a white noise button if any of the men describe what CIA agents did to them after their capture in Pakistan in 2002 and 2003 and before their arrival at Guantánamo in September 2006.
The ACLU called the practice censorship. And said it was premised on a chillingly Orwellian claim that the accused must be gagged lest he reveal his knowledge of what the government did to him.
A court security officer used the white noise at an earlier, aborted effort to put the five men on trial for the terror attacks in 2008 and 2009.
It was not immediately clear whether the war court judge, Army Col. James L. Pohl, would rule on the motion before Saturdays arraignment of accused Sept. 11 architect Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other Guantánamo captives.
The ACLUs executive director, Anthony Romero, said Thursday morning that his organizations National Security director, Hina Shamsi, was seeking to join a Pentagon flight to Guantánamo on Friday in a bid to argue the point to Pohl before the men are formally charged at Camp Justice at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay on Saturday.
The Pentagon had no immediate comment. The judge will decide whether the merits of their complaint have standing, said Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale.
The ACLU lawyers also wrote that the 9/11 accused only obtained information about the CIAs secret prison network and techniques by virtue of the government forcing it upon them.
They added that the government already had declassified portions of an investigation of the CIAs own inspector general that had found agents subjected their captive to abusive treatment, and that it was in the publics interest to hear the descriptions from the captives own lips.
All five face a death penalty trial by military commission at Guantánamo as the alleged organizers, funders and trainers of the 19 hijackers who commandeered four passenger aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001 and flew them into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killingly nearly 3,000 people.
The brief included an affidavit from a scholar of military commissions who noted that past American tribunals were open, although held at remote locations that made it largely impossible for the public to see them.
Rather than presume information that comes from the mouths of former CIA captives is classified, the ACLU lawyers wrote, the judge is obliged to review each statement beforehand and make factual findings on the record before permitting any national-security-related closure.
The argument echoes one made last month to Pohl by a First Amendment lawyer at Guantánamo in the case of another waterboarded captive, Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, accused of orchestrating al Qaidas October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship off Aden, Yemen.
Ten U.S. news organizations sought to challenge plans to have Nashiri testify in a closed pretrial hearing about his CIA treatment during overseas interrogation.
The judge did not rule on the issue at the hearing because Nashiri was not called to testify.

Many of us will never know what its like to be homeless. But the reality is it could happen to anyone of us. Mission Change invites you to hear stories from those that have lived on the streets and about the programs available to help at an upcoming event.
When someone becomes homeless, a feeling of helplessness usually follows. But knowing where to turn for help is the key to turning that around.
"What we ask everybody is can you give up your bed for one night for those that don't have a bed every single night," said Ladonna Urick, Ex. Dir. Mission Change.
The 6th annual "Sleep Out" is coming to Turtle Park Friday November 8th. Bring your sleeping bags, pillows, tents and decorated boxes.
Noelle Sparks will share her story during the program. She lost her mother, her father left her and her sister and she made some bad choices along the way. "I have five kids and I met Mission Change on the process when I lost my job and I had to choose whether there was gonna be a roof over my head or food to eat," said Sparks.
A mission change program is helping to tutor her kids after school and with their encouragement and support it has changed her life. "I only have one test to take for my GED," said Sparks.
The sleep out is Mission Change's only fundraiser and helps to keep these programs going. The event is full of information on what is available to families or an individual, from getting clothes washed to putting food on the table.
"Come out and learn how to serve our community better and know what's available to people that they come in contact with," said Urick.
Sparks says no matter what your situation is it just takes some courage to ask for help. Hear her story, her new business venture along with many others from 7-10 pm next Friday night.
You can also bring canned goods for a local food bank and If you are not able to attend the sleep out next Friday but would like to learn more or help drop off donations at Mission Change at 308 Flint Avenue or online at www.missionchange.com.

|Proven Method With Hundreds of Success Stories
If you've ever wanted to make huge amounts of gold in World of Warcraft really really fast… now is the perfect time to do it.
But you've got to get on it right now: because the massive profits based on the Mists of Pandaria expansion are all going to be made in the first few days after Pandaria goes live.
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about! I'm Jonathan Kenins, I run the Massive Gold Blueprint membership, where I teach thousands of WoW players just like you how to crush it in the auction house, and in the gold making game.
Now the last time around with an expansion, for Cataclysm, my members and I made crazy gold following three detailed plans I developed for the occasion. The results were incredible… we had members reporting 100,000 gold days, more gold on their toons than they ever dreamed possible. We even had 13 members wining Realm First achievements, for hitting maximum level in their professions before anyone else on their servers. That was exciting let me tell you!
OK that was Cataclysm… now for Mists of Pandaria, I've tweaked the plans quite a lot, based on extensive play testing I've been doing in the Pandaria beta. And I've actually added a new fourth gold-making plan, based around the new Pet Battles system, that's guaranteed to be a massive win.
All of which means… as successful as my Cataclysm guide was last time around, the Pandarian Gold Blueprint is going to be that much bigger and better.
So if you have ever felt like you were falling behind in WoW, not making the kind of Gold you need to really enjoy the game, to get all the legendary gear, and mounts, and rare items that you've always wanted…
Now is the time! Grab your membership right here on this page, right now… and by this time a couple of weeks from now, you're going to have it all. Just imagine what a difference that's going to make for you in WoW.
Just do it now: like I said before, the big gold is going to be made right away, the first few days after Pandaria goes live. Just click the big button below, and I'll have you all set up to get started with the step by step videos in my members area in just a couple of minutes.

Stationary and stationery
Unlike some of the more common homonyms (e.g. their/there/they're or your/you're), this is one that most people don't think about until it comes time to spell it.
Stationary with an A means immobile or unmoving. The strong anchor kept the ship stationary despite the rough seas. George remained stationary so as not to attract the attention of the angry bees.
Stationery with an E means writing paper or office supplies. I received a beautiful stationery set for my birthday. The stationery cupboard at the office was running low on supplies today.
I have an unusual way of keeping these words separate, but it seems to work: the letter A has two legs and is stationary; the letter e has a rounded bottom and is not.

Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
At the end of a long day of traveling, this is just the place we needed! Our GPS got us lost but the park employees spent time with us on the phone and step by step got us here to the park. That extra special help was only the beginning of a wonderful stay. The employees seem to go out of the way to make our stay here the best in a long, long time. The park is new with wide and long pull-thrus, level and more than accommodating for our 42 ft motor home. The showers were as clean as I would want at home and very appealing. We will make this a stop twice a tear from now on! We are full timers and only wish that all the other parks we visit we're as nice as this one. If I could rate it honestly, it would get a 11 on the scale of 1 to 10!
Picacho, Arizona
Picacho Peak RV Resort (55+ park)
[ 10/10 ]
A beautiful and well maintained park. The word park does not do this park justice, it is a resort. Clean pool, hot tub and showers. The staff were ready and willing to help when needed. We really enjoyed the beautiful sunset behind Picacho Peak. Will definitely will make this an annual stop. Sites are mostly pull throughs which we appreciate with a bigger rig and the managers were both professional and friendly.

New Project for Young OrchestrasPosted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
I am happy to announce the creation of a new orchestra co-commissioning project which will feature a new piano concerto being composed exclusively for me by Daniel Dorff. Maestro Michael Gagliardo and the Etowah Youth Orchestra have agreed to perform the World Premiere of Daniel Dorff's 'Concerto for Piano and Orchestra' with me as piano soloist in Gadsden, Alabama in May, 2007, followed by the New York Premiere in Carnegie Hall in June, 2007. This unique project was created through discussions with Daniel, who is indeed a brilliant composer. He had sent a cd of his music to me and I was extremely impressed with the style and refreshing creativity.
The project goal is to join orchestras (youth, festivals, universities) across the US to commission Daniel to compose a new piano concerto for me to be performed with the co-commissioning orchestras in the 2007-08 season. Daniel has already enjoyed a successful output of works that are regularly programmed for young people's concerts by major orchestras. His first piano concerto will be an important contribution to the repertoire for pianists, orchestras, and will offer opportunities for the orchestras to be part of a large and visible commissioning project.
Here is Daniel's personal vision of the work:
Music will be visceral, rhythmic, hormonal; exciting for young players. Harmonic style like my other music – American influenced with some amount of jazz or rock flavor subtlely, but "serious" not crossover; compare Bernstein, Barber, Copland.
Difficulty level for select ambitious youth orchestras. I will not write down for high school orchestra level, but in writing for professional orchestra standards, I'll be careful about staying practical. See details below.
Woodwinds: by 3's or 2's, with Piccolo, EH, Bass Clar available. I'll avoid other woodwind doublings. Passagework may be difficult, but won't exceed standard high range or use extended techniques.
Brass: 4331 or less, using C Trumpets, maybe Harmon mutes called for. Writing at adult level, but I'll be careful about high register.
Harp: yes
Other Keyboard in orchestra: No
Percussion: 3 perc players on standard instruments, nothing weird to rent; plus Timpani with 4 drums
Strings: Maybe solo passages for principals; divisi a2 is fair game, but probably not a3. Passagework may be difficult in spots, but I'll watch out for high ranges.
Many ensembles find rhythm the hardest element to polish in my music, and a neoprimitive piano concerto is likely to use syncopation and irregular rhythm very strongly. I'll make a point of keeping these repetitive and clearly notated, with a minimum of irregular changing meter.
I'm tentatively thinking of a 3-movement fast-slow-fast standard concerto form with Concerto as the title; however that might change as I get into the actual writing. Either way, let's aim for roughly 20 minutes.
My initial concept is Mvt 1: fiery toccata with an arresting opening section grabbing them right from bar 1; lyric B theme keeps driving rhythm at all times, not sentimental, just lyrical. Mvt 2: A-B-A' based on an original song, maybe as variations; lots of chamber music or wind solos. Mvt 3: Rondo."
Please feel free to stay in touch with me at firstname.lastname@example.com, as it
would indeed be a pleasure to explore this further with you and your
youth orchestras. You can also visit our web sites www.cyberecital.com

With kindest regards,
Jeffrey Biegel

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Cowboys tight end
Witten will be making his 140th straight appearance, dating back to his rookie season, 2003, when he missed a Week 6 contest against Philadelphia after breaking his jaw. He underwent a CAT scan on Tuesday and was officially listed as doubtful, which is meant to project a near certainty that the player will be out, though he was cleared by doctors.
Witten had been running and catching passes for over a week, but had not engaged in any contact drills.
Nose tackle
Other inactives for the Cowboys include safety
Inactive for the Giants are wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan, cornerback Prince Amukamara, running back Da'Rel Scott, guard Mitch Petrus, defensive end Adewale Okomo and tackle James Brewer.

Hi everyone, I'm almost 33 wks pregnant and anaemic so getting tired lots and I'm feeling so low and upset after finding out my husband has been watching porn on the computer-again.
He did it a while back, maybe a few months ago and i went mad. He promised he wouldn't do it again as he knew he hurt me badly, but hey what did i find in the history from Monday!
I feel like i'm not getting any support from him, had a really bad time with sickness at the start and now getting breathless and tired because of the anaemia. All he seems to care about is that the contents of his trousers are kept happy!
Plus we did actually make love that day even though i didn't really want to and i think he watched it afterwards when me and our son were playing downstairs.
I already felt insecure because i'm getting pretty big now and he told me he liked my curves when pregnant, so why watch a load of skinny women having sex then? Also the fact that i think he watched it after we made love makes me think i really don't do it for him now. What's it gonna be like after babba's born?
I really dunno what to do, he's acting like it doesn't matter and that i'm being stupid, but it really hurts me and he doesn't seem to care!
We've been married for 3 years and i feel like there is little left in our relationship now, anyone in a similar boat?
hmmmm, i went thru this before i got pregnant, and it was horrid enough to kno that altho we had sex a lot, he still felt the need to watch it etc...
you say he is acting like it doesnt matter, but it does.
he is hurting you, and making you feel like sh*t and you dont deserve that, especially being pregnant etc.
i feel like a whale, i am 39+1, my body is purple with stretch marks and i have put on sooooo much weight its untrue. my husband went a bit "off" a couple of weeks ago, and wen i broached him about it, he was just trying not to make me feel un comfortable etc as when he did try it on wit me i pushed him away. then when he stopped trying i felt like he didnt want me.
pregnancy is hard enough tho without being made to feel like your not good enough, id talk to him again, because to be perfectly honest he is being really out of order with you.
Thanks for your reply. I have taken drastic action now, made him move the computer downstairs and changed password. He can only now use a password which allows him restricted access as i've set parental settings. He didn't argue too much as he knows he was in the wrong.
He had days of me not cooking his tea and making him sleep on the sofa, not ironing his uniform or making him lunch for work and i think he realised he hurt me badly. He was being really nice to me and kept saying sorry all the time.
We've been getting along better now and he assures me he still finds me attractive(hard to believe when i look like a house). We have actually made love 2 nights running which is unheard of lately, but it was pretty good i have to admit.
He has been pretty much a model husband after it all came to blows and i threw a glass across the kitchen and got really upset, looks like putting your foot down works. Can't say he'll never lokk at stuff like that again, but i've done all i can to prevent it i hope.
glad your getting along =)
and glad he has made an effort with you
Hi Lolly,
I'm glad things are getting better and he's making an effort with you.
I completely understand how you feel! I've argued over the same thing with my boyfriend in the past - and they honestly don't see it as a problem, they don't realise how it makes us feel and it's as if they don't really care how it makes us feel!...but at the same time I didn't want to tell him "you can't watch that!" coz he'd just not listen. It took a while to explain and get it to sink in how much it hurt me but if he REALLY wanted to use it, he had to tell me about it and not hide it, which i think helped our relationship in the long run & occasionally we'd watch a little together - not for everyone, I know, but now he very, very rarely watches it & he tells me if he's going to. I liked that we were at least able to compromise.
So....I've still got about 7 weeks left and the belly's getting bigger everyday...as for feeling attractive?!...I haven't for quite some time now. My skin is bad with spots & blackheads & my boyfriend is clearly put off by the bump....sex stopped for us about 4/5 weeks ago...feels like longer. He doesn't talk about it unless i bring it up and he is kind about the topic - very careful with his words not to upset me but the lack of intimacy & the closeness is making me feel so unattractive & unwanted & i miss him.
I've tried to warn him too, that it could be quite some time after the baby's born until he gets anywhere near me again....
enough of my ranting on....hope you ladies are well and good luck Emma...not long for you now!
x x x x
hey lolly am happy that you have made an effort to make him realise his faults and he accepts it and apologies and your husband loves you a lot dear.....

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Eclipse, election and escapees make alliterative front-page news
It isn't very often that we see a local story that makes the front page in Wyoming and New Hampshire. But today, the two states, one small in population, the other small in square miles, have a common front-page story. Cheyenne's Wyoming Tribune-Eagle says, "Cheyenne fugitives arrested in N.H." with a subhead about a bonehead move — calling a former employer and providing a new address — by one of the escaped convicts. Foster's Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H., called the escapees "dangerous" in its headline and provided mugshots of the two recaptured men.
An errant U.S. satellite was shot down by a missile, called a "Navy satellite killer" by The Huntsville (Ala.) Times, which provided a bright photo of a missile being launched on its front page. The Telegram & Gazette (Worcester, Mass.) used the headline "Ready, aim ..." and showed a graphic representation of how the satellite was shot down.
The presidential election is never far from the front page, especially the red-hot Democratic race. Kailua Kona's West Hawaii Today had large caricatures of Barack Obama (whose candidacy, according to the subhead, "galvanizes Hawaii Democrats") and Hillary Clinton with the headline "It's On." The Plain Dealer in Cleveland gave a numeric treatment to its front page, breaking down the important figures heading into Ohio's March 4 primary. Florida is hoping to avoid the snubbing of its delegates at the convention, according to Jacksonville's Florida Times-Union. And the New York Post may have the funniest front page of the day with faked pictures of Bill Clinton in a cowboy hat and Hillary in a Davy Crockett-esque raccoon-skin hat with the headline: "Clinton Alamo: Do or die in Texas."
And finally, nothing brings out a great front-page photo like last night's lunar eclipse. A few of our favorites were in the Los Angeles Times and Helena, Mont.'s Independent Record; also eye-catching were the time lapse on the front page of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald and the large, nameplate-displacing photo on the Beaver County (Pa.) Times's Page One with the headline, "It's A Cover-Up." We won't see the likes of these photos on front pages again until the next total lunar eclipse — 2010.

With the Tour de France in full swing, it's hard to remember what happened earlier this year. But as we're wont to do on occasion, we're bringing you a retrospective. This time, we're going back to the Time Trial of the Tour of California in May, where top UCI riders raced against the clock at the storied Solvang TT course. For the first time in the race's history, Levi Heipheimer did not win the day, but rather came in second behind American Dave Zabriskie. Like last year, the Amgen Tour organizers held an Amateur TT on the same course before the UCI pros went off, and those "amateurs" included pro triathletes Heather Jackson and Jordan Rapp. Enjoy our superized gallery of the day's exploits.

Mon Dec 09,2013
As a mark of respect following the passing of the former South African president and iconic leader Nelson Mandela, tonight's screening of MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM is in memory of Mandela. Nashen Moodley, director of DIFF's AsiaAfrica programme, talks to us about the great man and the film.
As a South African, Nashen, tonight's screening of MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM must be particularly poignant for you.
Nashen Moodley: It is. I was 12-years-old when Mandela was released from prison. At the time, I didn't have a complex understanding of the political events, however, I do remember there being a sort of trepidation of what was going to happen. But in his first speech, he spoke about reconciliation, peace and forgiveness and set the tone of South Africa's immediate future. Over the next four years, before the first democratic election, the atmosphere was still tense and there were many moments when many observers thought the peace process was in severe danger, but with Mandela leading the way, South Africa made a peaceful transition to democracy.
Mandela is one of the most iconic leaders of our time and has inspired many young leaders. What can audiences take away from the film?
NM: The film, while dealing with Mandela's life from childhood to his eventual election as South Africa's president, touches on the key moments of his life, both political and personal that ended up shaping his legacy. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, an inspiring film with really wonderful performances that give us a complex portrait of a dynamic and charismatic hero, who transcended cultures.
Have you ever met him?
NM: No, I've never met him, but I was at a youth conference in Durban in the early 1990s, in which he addressed us. I was very moved and inspired by his speech that reminded us of our responsibilities as the future leaders of the nation.

Special Education Office
304 Recitation Hall
West Chester, PA 19383
Call: 610-436-2579
The special education teaching force works with 28,000 students with disabilities, according to the 2010-2011 statistical summary on the Pennsylvania Department of Education website. Given the size of this population, the range of educational services required, and changes in federal law, special education teachers are still on "high need" hire lists. In addition to special education certified teachers, the field values students with advanced degrees, since these individuals would be eligible for teacher-leader or administrative positions and maintain currency in the field.
The Department of Special Education at West Chester University is continually growing its capacity to provide both post-baccalaureate certification and Master's of Education programs by offering the same quality education across increasing venues. To that end, students have a choice in both programs between traditional (face-to-face) courses on the West Chester University campus, fully online courses, and blended (combination of face-to-face and online) courses at our new Philadelphia location.
The Department of Special Education offers the following graduate programs:

Good morning!
Even cooler temperatures across the area today with isolated showers in the mix, mostly to the south of Spokane and in the mountains.
This morning look for a possible passing shower, otherwise mostly cloudy. Temps. out the door in the mid 40s.
By lunchtime we'll continue to see that small threat for showers, with most of the action staying to the south. Look for mostly cloudy skies and cool afternoon highs about 10 degrees below normal in the low 60s.
On and off showers are expected to continue through the early part of this week.

LOST LUSTER: Apple's stock slipped below $500 for the first time in 11 months amid escalating worries about customer demand for the iPhone, the company's top-selling product. At the end of Monday's trading, the stock had dropped by nearly 30 percent since peaking at $705.07 in late September.
LATEST CONCERN: Both the Japanese newspaper Nikkei and The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Apple Inc. has dramatically reduced its orders for iPhone parts because the device isn't selling as well as management hoped.
STAY TUNED: Apple Inc. declined comment Monday, but more details about iPhones sales should emerge Jan. 23 when the company will release its latest quarterly results.

More than 5,000 walked through downtown Jackson to help find a cure for breast cancer, but The American Cancer Society is pushing another initiative to help patients.
Participants were encouraged to sign this poster. On it you saw the words chemotherapy and mother.
The American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network wants lawmakers to become involved in how breast cancer patients are seen at the doctor's office.
"We are asking congress to sign on and pass legislation for palative care. Where we bring all of the doctors involved together when you're going through cancer having everyone on the same page and working together for the good of the patient," said Anita Bales, with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
ACS is taking the grassroots effort to events across the country.

Caro's Fairytale Ending
Published August 08, 2010 12:00
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Playing for the first time since her 20th birthday, Caroline Wozniacki came out with her eighth Sony Ericsson WTA Tour title, winning the inaugural e-Boks Sony Ericsson Open in her native Denmark.
World No.3 Wozniacki, the top seed at the International event, drew large crowds and fought off inspired opponents all week, going to three sets three times en route to the final - against Iveta Benesova in the second round, No.5 seed Julia Goerges in the quarters and Anna Chakvetadze in the semis.
None of them could stop her though, and Wozniacki dusted off her eighth Tour title with a 62 76(5) win over No.7 seed Klara Zakopalova on Sunday morning, rallying from 4-2 down to win the second set and holding off a late surge from the Czech, who cut her lead in the tie-break down from 6-1 to 6-5 before falling.
"It was nice to play a tournament again after a long break. I'm healthy again and I really wanted some matches," Wozniacki said. "The crowd, as always, was great. Here in Denmark there's always lots of things for me to see and do, and it was a busy week for me, but I enjoyed it. It's nice to see so many people come and watch me play. It's great for Danish tennis. I really enjoyed my week."
Check out pics of Caroline and others now in the photo gallery!
Wozniacki is now 8-7 in finals. This was her third of the year, finishing runner-up at Indian Wells (losing to Jelena Jankovic) and winning Ponte Vedra Beach.
Zakopalova made her 10th career final with a 63 16 64 semifinal win over No.2 seed Li Na, a result that may have pleased Wozniacki - the Chinese has beaten the Dane in both of their 2010 meetings. Zakopalova is now 2-8 in finals.
"I was a little bit nervous in the beginning. I improved a little bit in the second set, but not enough," Zakopalova said. "It's a shame for me, but Caroline was playing so consistently and not making any mistakes. Mentally she's so strong. It was a very good week for me and it gives me a lot of confidence now going into the US Open. I'm looking forward to come back next year."
In the doubles final Saturday, Julia Goerges and Anna-Lena Groenefeld, the No.1 seeds, took out No.4 seeds Vitalia Diatchenko and Tatiana Poutchek, 64 64. Goerges won her second Tour doubles title, Groenefeld her 11th.
Vitalia won the player party competition... see the pics here!
Goerges and Groenefeld were playing their second tournament together, having reached the semifinals at Bad Gastein a few weeks ago. They gave a walkover in that match however, meaning technically they've never lost as a team before.
"You could say we have a clean record so far," Groenefeld said. "We're both really happy to win the title this week. We'll be playing the US Open together. I won't be going to Asia this year, as my singles ranking dropped a little bit, but we'll try to commit for the whole year next year and see how it goes."
"It was a great week," Goerges said. "We didn't drop a set. We're really happy!"

Controversial spy centre GCHQ will turn its attention to online child abuse imagery under new plans announced by David Cameron.
Privacy International files legal complaint that accuses GCHQ of installing malware on millions of devices without their owners' permission.
In what Yahoo called "a whole new level of violation" for users, the GCHQ collected millions of images, many of them sexually explicit.
A new report out of Germany cites the Edward Snowden documents in saying that the GCHQ spied on German Internet companies. It also offers more info on US monitoring of Germany's chancellor.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee says the activities of the NSA and its UK counterpart, the GCHQ, could warp his baby, making the Internet vulnerable to attack and depriving humanity of a "safe space" for problem solving.
British spy agency GCHQ has been keeping tabs on our web activity and phone calls, according to new documents from a whistleblower.
GCHQ secretly gained access to fiber-optic cables that carry the world's phone calls and Internet activity, reports the Guardian, and it's sharing the data with the NSA.
A UK communications intelligence agency unit used a popular cyberattack method against hacktivist groups, according to documents Edward Snowden supplied to NBC News.
It seems that British Intelligence's passwords are kept in plain text -- complete with username, all non-encrypted. Ergo, not so secure.
The latest revelations suggest that the US and UK singled out certain Web sites for surveillance, according to a report from The Intercept, which published classified documents.

Top picks 2013: Nordea Bank, MTR Corp.
This Swedish bank and Hong Kong subway operators are top picks for global investors.
Our top conservative recommendation for 2013 is Sweden's Nordea Bank (NRBAY). The bank is focused on customer relationships, with a keen attention to risk and costs.
Our top aggressive pick for the coming year is MTR Corporation (MTRJY). This subway operator enjoys the benefits from being a legal monopoly in Hong Kong.
Nordea Bank
Some 85% of Nordea's loan portfolio is from northern Europe and Baltic. Its balance sheet is AA rated, with very low loan losses and capital growing at 9% annual clip.
It has a dominant market position, with 10 million retail customers, 520,000 corporate clients, 1,000 branches and Nordea is two times larger than nearest regional competitor.
96% of revenue comes from non-trading activities, which equals very low volatility in operating profits which have doubled over last decade.
Nordea's lending growth rate is 16% and its latest quarterly earnings show growth of 69.8% year over year; meanwhile, the stock is trading right at book value. A record of 40% of net income was paid out as dividend. The current dividend yield is 4.1%
MTR Corporation
MTR has 218 kilometers of subway and light rail track and 84 stations plus it's a leading land developer with over 29 million square feet of commercial and residential space.
Of particular interest is that while it shares in the profits with its property development partners, it doesn't share the losses.
MTR's new CEO is the former head of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Jay Walder. Over the last five years MTR has been aggressively expanding internationally, winning contracts to operate the Stockholm subway, a new rail line that served the London Olympics, and lines in Melbourne, Daxing, Shenzen and Beijing.
MTR has a great balance sheet with cash roughly equal to total debt. It has a dividend yield of 2.5% and has raised dividends every year over the past ten years.

Kings (19-35) vs. Spurs (42-12)
Time: 7 p.m. Where: Sleep Train Arena
TV: CSNCA Radio: KHTK (1140)
1. Disciplined defense: Few teams are as good as the Spurs at making the opposition work on defense. They will use crisp execution and ball movement to get what they want. The Kings can't get lazy or the Spurs will exploit them.
2. Paint approach: Tim Duncan remains one of the best big men in the NBA, and he'll give DeMarcus Cousins all he can handle. Cousins has to play smart on offense and not get into foul trouble.
3. Home momentum: This is the last game before a five-game trip, the Kings' second-longest this season. The Kings are 5-23 on the road, so they could use a boost from tonight.

The 5-6 Springs, who is slated to leave for Sweden on Friday (Sept. 14), recently captured International Basketball League (IBL) All-Star honors for the second consecutive season while playing with the Holland (Mich.) Blast in the spring and summer 2007 season. Springs placed 17th among the IBL's leading scorers this year by averaging 24.1 points per game over 18 contests.
Springs will join the Boras/Marbo Basket in the Swedish Basketettan League for its six-month season that begins with the squad's first official game near the end of September. He will be among three foreign players on the team's roster and one of only two American-born players for head coach Anders Jonsson's squad. The regular-season runs until March 2008 with a month or so of playoff competition slated to follow.
The Boras/Marbo team has claimed the Basketettan Group South Division title each of the last two years.
"It's a great opportunity for me to compete in one of the top divisions in Europe," Springs said. "It's a step closer for me to the next level and will also provide me with a chance to see another country.
"I'm excited about going to Sweden and hopefully will be able to have a great year and win some games."
Springs' opportunity in Sweden won't be the first time he's been experienced to international competition as a professional player. He spent a portion of this past year with a Mexican League team in Cancun and also traveled to Germany with an American Tour team a year ago.
"I'd like to play professionally a couple of more years, so hopefully this move will allow me to receive more exposure and boost my resume," he said.
Springs, who concluded his collegiate eligibility by leading FSU to its second consecutive NCAA Division II National Tournament appearance in March 2006, finished his Bulldog career earning all-region honors by being named to the 2005-06 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Great Lakes Region All-District First Team and Daktronics All-Great Lakes Region Second Team. He was also recognized as both Ferris State's Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player Award recipient during the 2005-06 campaign along with being chosen as Ferris' 2005-06 Dean Davenport "Bulldog of the Year" Award recipient for the school's most outstanding male student-athlete.
Springs, who led the GLIAC in assists (5.74 apg) as a senior and ranked as the league's third-leading scorer (16.8 ppg), was honored as a first-team All-GLIAC North Division selection in 2005-06. Springs' career average of 6.2 assists per game ranks tied for 17th place all-time in NCAA Division II history and is the GLIAC's top career performance average for all games played. His 713 career assists not only ranks as the school's top figure, but also presently is listed 13th on the all-time NCAA Division II assists leaders list.
The two-time (2003-04 & 2004-05) GLIAC North Division Second Team honoree compiled 28 double-figure scoring outings his final year and currently is listed among the school's all-time performers in five statistical categories, including ninth in scoring with 1,504 career points. He earned GLIAC North Division Player of the Week Award honors three times in his final campaign. Springs also received GLIAC North Division All-Defensive Team kudos for the third-straight season and picked up GLIAC All-Tournament Team recognition as a senior.
Springs, who attained NCAA-II Great Lakes Region All-Tournament Team kudos as FSU advanced to the NCAA-II Sweet Sixteen during the 2004-05 campaign, was chosen as the Grand Rapids Press' Player of the Year in 2005-06. He was the conference's assists leader three of his four collegiate seasons and dished out 10 or more assists 14 times in his playing career.
During his playing career, Springs led Ferris to back-to-back GLIAC North Division Championships (2003-04 & 2004-05), guided FSU to a runner-up league regular-season finish as a senior and directed the Bulldogs to consecutive NCAA-II Great Lakes Regional Tournament appearances his final two campaigns under head coach Bill Sall.

CHESAPEAKE - Drivers complained that Woodlake Drive in Chesapeake wasn't safe and the city is listened.
"It's a horribly dangerous situation," said councilmember Debbie Ritter.
18-wheel trucks get off there from I-64 on Greenbrier Parkway and then have to cross three lanes of traffic in a short amount of time to get to businesses in the industrial area.
Now, the city is looking to extend Woodlake Drive to connect Battlefield Blvd. and Greenbrier Parkway. That way, heavy trucks could get off at Battlefield and avoid the dangerous merging.
"It's huge for the city and hopefully it will drop that truck volume on Greenbrier Parkway," Ritter added.
There's money for the work and preliminary permits have been approved. However, environmental permits are still needed and Ritter admits the road will disturb some sensitive wetland areas.
"Without the permit, it's a no go," she said.
