The sale grows each year, with vendors and crafters offering gift items including jewelry, hand painted visors, miniature lighthouses, shell ornaments, pottery and much more.
There will also be a large yard sale with "slightly used" items for the home; a snack bar offering a pulled pork plate for eating inside or for take out, a great menu for that football tailgate party and "Granny's Cupboard," offering canned pickles and jams and baked goods for that someone special on your list.
Vendors are welcome - this is a good time to clean out the closets and drawers and turn those unwanted items into cash for holiday shopping.

Three Huskers Earn NACGC/W All-America Awards
Three members of the No. 8 Nebraska women's gymnastics team earned a total of seven regular season All-America awards from the National Collegiate Gymnastic Coaches Association (NACGC/W) on Friday. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong all captured honors for their performances throughout the Huskers' 2013 campaign.
Wong led all NU gymnasts with four total first-team All-America awards, garnering honors on bars, beam, floor and in the all-around. DeZiel captured a pair of first-team laurels on vault and in the all-around, and Giblin picked up second-team accolades on uneven bars.
A native of Grand Forks, N.D., Wong is the nation's No. 4 all-around gymnast with an regional qualifying score (RQS) of 39.610. She is also ranked in the top eight on bars (9.920), beam (9.900) and floor (9.925). Wong earned her second consecutive Big Ten title in the all-around last weekend, earning a career-best 39.725 in competition.
DeZiel is ranked No. 8 nationally in the all-around, holding an RQS of 39.525. Hailing from Rogers, Minn., DeZiel also took home first-team honors on vault (9.930) for her regular season efforts. She finished second in all-around competition at the 2013 Big Ten Championship and captured a share of the conference title on vault.
Giblin snagged second-team honors on uneven bars to cap a stellar regular season on the event. Ranked 12th nationally on the event with an RQS of 9.905, she became only the second gymnast in program history to post a perfect 10.0 on bars against Iowa last March.
The NACGC/W awarded regular season All-America honors for the first time this season. Gymnasts were chosen based on their RQS entering NCAA Regional competition. The top eight ranked gymnasts in each event and the all-around earned first-team awards, while second-team honors were granted to those ranked ninth to 16th. All ties between gymnasts stood.

- Bolder Boulder draws tens of thousands: 'Everyone said it's the best run'
Nine months after participating in her fifth Olympic marathon, Boulder's Lidia Simon ran away with the women's citizens race at the Bolder Boulder and flirted with the race record time.
Simon won the race with the fastest time by a woman in nine years dating back to the last time she won in 2004. Simon crossed the finish line in 34 minutes, 4.59 seconds. It was just 5 seconds slower than the 34 minutes flat time she ran in her previous win. That time remains the fastest time ever in the women's citizens race.
"It's amazing to promote your town and to see so many people running this race," Simon said. "It's amazing.
Simon, who will turn 40 in September, was more than 1 minute ahead of her closest competitor in the women's field. Ellie Keyser of Fort Collins finished in 35:13.11 to capture second place and Kristen Fryburg-Zaitz of Broomfield was third in 35:32.13.
Simon is actually a three-time winner at the Bolder Boulder. She also won the women's pro race in 1999 representing her native Romania in the International Team Challenge. She is the only person in race history to win both the citizens and professional races.
"I always wish to run in this race," she said.
As Simon pulled away from the other women in the race, it probably didn't seem fair to some of them. She is, after all, the only woman in history to have participated in five Olympic marathons and has been among the world elite in distance running for nearly 20 years.
"I'm not sure what still keeps me so strong," Simon said after being told she was just 5 seconds off her winning pace nine years ago. "I'm a very good worker and I always wish to be very good and I work very hard.
"I'm not that fresh, but I'm still working hard and I hope to keep going."
She said she has always tried to participate in the Bolder Boulder since her win in the pro race in 1999. She considers it her hometown race and it holds a special place in her heart. She also hopes that her accomplishments inspire younger runners to believe they can also compete at a high level even after they move beyond their prime.
"I wish for me to be an inspiration to others to find when they decide to run," she said.
Simon said she has wanted to participate in the pro race again but hasn't been able to get a Romanian team together. So she chooses to run the citizens race instead.
This year's Bolder Boulder served as a nice training run for Simon who will compete in a half-marathon in five days in San Diego. She said her goal for that race is a top-10 finish.

Often times in the midst of your draft, you'll find yourself deciding between a couple players at the same position. With Player Showdowns, we take two players who are closely ranked by Average Draft Position (ADP) and/or Rotoworld's 2013 season projections and have writers take a side and debate who should be selected first. Whose side will you be on?
We'll offer up one Showdown per position (catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base, outfield, starter and reliever) here, and you can get dozens more by purchasing the 2013 Rotoworld Baseball Draft Guide. It's an essential weapon to have in your arsenal at the draft table this spring.
Also, be sure to sign up for a free fantasy baseball league with our partners over at Yahoo! Sports. As you're all well aware of at this point, it's the best fantasy platform out there.
Chase Headley vs. Ryan Zimmerman
There's no doubt that Zimmerman has a better track record than Headley. After all, Headley parked just 36 balls over the fence in his first 2,114 big league plate appearances before last year's 31-homer breakout. It's easy to be skeptical of such an extreme spike in production, and I concede that another run at 30 bombs for Headley is probably unlikely. But this is a guy that's always had good raw power, and he's in the midst of his prime hitting years. Headley will also surely benefit from the fences coming in at Petco this season, and he's as good a bet as any to lead those at the hot corner in stolen bases. As far as Zimmerman goes, multiple cortisone shots proved to be magical for the Nats' third baseman last season, allowing him to delay surgery until the offseason. He's yet to encounter any hiccups during his rehab, but there's no guarantee his shoulder issues are completely behind him, and even if they are, it's possible his power will be slow to come around. Also, for a guy generally viewed as a steady fantasy option, Zimmerman's production has actually been more up-and-down than you might think, as he's posted the following OPS' over the last seven seasons: .822, .788, .774, .888, .899, .798, .824. If I were totally convinced Zimmerman would stay healthy, I might side with him, but Headley is much more durable and I think has a tad more upside. – Ryan Boyer (@RyanPBoyer)
Shoulder problems plagued Zimmerman early last season, but he was everything fantasy owners hoped for and more following a cortisone shot in late June, batting .321 with 22 home runs, 73 RBI and a .967 OPS over his final 90 games. He had surgery following the season, but all reports have been positive this spring and he should be ready for Opening Day. It's easy to dig in on Headley, as he's coming off a breakout year in which he batted .286 with 31 homers, a league-leading 115 RBI and 17 stolen bases, but I'm afraid he could be overvalued because many will be focused on the short-term production. Keep in mind that Headley had a grand total of 36 home runs over his first 521 games in the majors, so I'm skeptical whether the power spike was completely legitimate, especially considering that he didn't hit fly balls more often than in his previous seasons. Meanwhile, Zimmerman has five seasons of 20 or more homers, including a 33-homer season back in 2009. I still think Headley will be valuable in mixed leagues and the changes at PETCO Park should help his cause, but I'll go with the guy with the longer track record. - D.J. Short (@djshort)

Smearing Jim Rubens: A shameless political hitEDITORIAL
September 19. 2013 10:37PM
The political world was set momentarily abuzz on Wednesday by a report that Republican Jim Rubens of Hanover, who announced his 2014 challenge to U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen that day, blamed mass shootings on women in the workforce. That Rubens has never done so was of no concern to the Democrats happily spreading the false claim, or to the writer who let himself be used as a pawn in a deceitful, shameless smear campaign.
Earlier in the week, the Shaheen campaign was shopping the allegation around New Hampshire. No local reporters took the bait. But on Wednesday Evan McMorris-Santoro, a writer for the news and entertainment website Buzzfeed.com, posted a story that proclaimed: "New Hampshire Senate Candidate: More Women In The Workplace Led To More Mass Shootings."
McMorris-Santoro wrote that Rubens, in a 2009 blog post, "connects the rise of working women with what he says is a rise in mass shootings and other violence perpetrated by men." But that is not true.
In the blog post, Rubens linked to a New York Times story reporting that men had suffered 82 percent of job losses since the start of the recession. He wrote, "The collapsing number of male jobs in the increasingly female-centric economy just adds to the already harsher impact of OverSuccess on males." (Rubens was referring to his book, "OverSuccess," in which he devotes a chapter to this topic.)
Nowhere in the blog post or in his Buzzfeed interview does Rubens link mass shootings to "the rise of working women." Rather, he links it to a decline in manufacturing jobs. It is not that women are working. It is that men are not. That is a critical — and obvious — distinction. Rubens not only cited data to back up his point, he explained it to McMorris-Santoro. "The point of this, if you read the whole thing, is that manufacturing jobs, which have been the basis for higher wage working men during the post-World War II era have been in decline."
Moreover, this view is common in psychological literature. For example, in a December, 2012 article for Psychology today, Dr. Kathy Seifert used this precise argument to explain why mass shootings tend to be perpetrated by white males.
But Seifert and other researchers who popularized this theory are not running for U.S. Senate as Republicans.
We write all this not to prop up Rubens, who is not our breed of Republican, but to illustrate for the record how the Shaheen smear machine operates. (McMorris-Santoro gave away the partisan source of his hit-piece when he wrote in his second sentence, "Democrats are questioning his ability to reach women voters," but quoted not a single Democrat in the story.)
Not only has Team Shaheen knowingly tarnished Ruben's good name with a false allegation of sexism, but to pull off this smear it was willing to also discredit a serious scientific theory that could lead to new strategies for reducing mass shootings. And it did so the day after a mass shooting. Disgusting. Anything to win, right Sen. Shaheen?

Once again we're taking a look at the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft – this time picks 16-30, some notables and finally we're breaking down the draft day trades.
To catch up on picks 1-15 you can click here, and to follow me on Twitter for real-time news and fantasy information you can click here.
* Note: For clarification purposes when I use the term 'Shallow' leagues I'm generally referring to 8-10 teams and the rest are as follows: Standard (12), Deep (14-20), Super-Deep (20-25) and Massive (25-30 teams). It's not an exact science as you have to figure how many roster spots you have, etc.
16. Lucas Nogueira, Spain – C – Hawks (from Celtics)
'Bebe' took the basketball world by storm when he fit his oversized NBA team hat onto a massive afro, and if all goes right for the Hawks he'll be taking that same world by storm with his potentially elite skills protecting the rim. DraftExpress.com calls him "as mobile of a 7-footer as you'll find on this side of the ocean" (whatever that means), but weighing just 220 pounds there are serious doubts about his ability to patrol the paint at an NBA level.
Offensively he is well-below average with only dunks and putbacks to his repertoire, and his decision-making is only average at best. His experience in Spain has been colored by a lack of playing time and an unregimented environment. Some have also questioned his commitment to the game and in the weight room, and at 20 years old there's a pretty good chance that he's not going to find the bulk he desperately needs. Chris Mannix reported on draft night that he would likely be stashed overseas for the upcoming season. Though the Hawks could use somebody to move Al Horford out of the center position, Bebe is a project for at least another year and probably more.
Recommendation: Worth a look in super-deep Dynasty leagues only
17. Dennis Schroeder, Germany – PG – Hawks
Schroeder started his surge up draft boards following the Nike Hoops Summit in April, as the 19-year old took control of his squad's offense and also took a leadership role with his younger teammates – a reflection of the experience he has gained playing in the German League. His jumper is good enough to convince scouts that he has 3-point potential, but his first step and overall quickness on both sides of the floor are the real draws here.
His smallish 6'2/165 frame is a big concern, but his on-ball defense provides a nice counter to any talk that he will be a defensive liability. Schroeder still needs to address his turnovers, which are a function of his constant attacking, and scouts think it's within his grasp to get it under control. He lands in Atlanta, where middle-tier starter Jeff Teague is a restricted free agent and should see good interest from potential suitors.
With only a handful of point guards on the market this summer it would be surprising to see Danny Ferry let Teague walk unless he receives a way-over-market offer. Still, with practically no depth in Atlanta behind Lou Williams (ACL surgery) there is plenty of room for Schroeder to earn a 15-25 minute role early on, and some upside beyond that if everything breaks the right way.
Recommendation: Worth owning in deeper Dynasty leagues and worth a look in deeper redraft formats
18. Shane Larkin, Miami – PG – Mavs (from Hawks)
Larkin impressed talent evaluators after a solid sophomore campaign running the show for Miami, proving he can operate the pick-and-roll and hit outside jumpers with regularity. Standing just 5'11" tall, size is going to be an issue against larger point guards, and he will have to take big steps on that end to make any full-time signal calling job a reality.
The son of MLB star Barry Larkin, he's shown excellent work ethic and combined with his impressive ball-protection and playmaking skills he profiles as a guy that can earn a coach's trust, albeit with some rough edges to smooth out still. He will likely push Darren Collison for a time-share at some point during the year, and that moment could be sooner rather than later. In a best-case scenario he can topple Collison, who was on the wrong end of Rick Carlisle's tirades a few too many times last season.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deep Dynasty leagues and drafting today he's worth owning in super-deep redraft formats.
19. Sergey Karasev, Russia – SF – Cavs
Karasev was predicted by both of our mock drafters to land in Cleveland at No. 19, and he profiles as a 3-point shooter and perimeter-based small forward with major defensive issues. He is also an average athlete at best, and combined with a below average dribble-drive game he's going to be a one-trick pony early on in his career.
Still, he's just 19 years old and already has significant professional experience playing internationally and he could make some quick leaps to address those shortcomings. Alonzo Gee is the only real small forward in competition with Karasev for minutes and the Cavs reportedly view Gee "as a backup." Karasev could leap-frog him right away if he can prove he's not a total defensive liability. Considering the Cavs have very little depth on the wing in their group of Dion Waiters, C.J. Miles, and RFA Wayne Ellington, the rookie could emerge with some job security if the Cavs don't acquire a free agent small forward.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deep redraft leagues if the Cavs don't acquire a small forward, and a player to own in super-deep Dynasty leagues, regardless.
20. Tony Snell, New Mexico – SF – Bulls
The Bulls showed their lack of depth last season and the one major knock on Tom Thibodeau has been the costly culture of playing through injuries he has created in Chicago. Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah are in those injury cross-hairs, and recently Deng has landed in the trade rumor mill though nothing appears to be in the hopper right now.
With Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and rumored-to-be-outbound UFA Marco Belinelli the only established wings, and only Butler capable of playing the 3, there is a real chance for Snell to gobble up some wing minutes if he can figure out Thibodeau's defense. He is a solid 3-point shooter and has the physical tools to be a good defender, but he has suffered from a lack of focus on that end and a lack of aggression in general. Thibs doesn't really do that, so like it was with Butler it will likely be an all-or-nothing situation with regards to a rotation slot.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper Dynasty leagues and massive redraft formats if Deng stays, and he'll be worth a look in standard Dynasty leagues and deep redraft leagues if Deng somehow skips town.
21. Gorgui Dieng, Louisville – C – Wolves (from Jazz)
As mentioned before, Flip Saunders and Co. looked to be a bit flummoxed by the night's events, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Dieng isn't a good NBA prospect. With good size and athletic ability for an NBA center, the Big East Defensive POY is well on his way to being a solid rotation player. Limited offensively to clean-up duty and the occasional short-range jumper, he struggles with his back to the basket but the small improvements he has made shooting give some hope that he can continue to develop.
A relatively good decision-maker on offense, too, he profiled as one of the better bets to jump in and give backup minutes immediately in this range of the draft. Nikola Pekovic looks like a good bet to stick around for next year, and it seems likely that Dieng's selection would make Greg Stiemsma's team option expendable. Don't be surprised if during the year Pekovic gets hurt and Dieng becomes a useful source of boards and blocks.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper Dynasty leagues
22. Mason Plumlee, Duke – PF – Nets
The four-year center from Duke lands in Brooklyn as the only true center behind injury-risk Brook Lopez, but he'll need to work on his lateral quickness and strength before he's given any rotational minutes. Teams would regularly attack him on the pick-and-roll in college and that spells doom for him in the NBA if he can't get it cleaned up. His offensive game is very limited and he struggles across most fantasy categories, which doesn't exactly mesh with a lack of overall upside.
Recommendation: Only on the radar in truly massive formats
23. Solomon Hill, Arizona – SF – Pacers
The Pacers surprised many folks with this selection as Hill was pegged as a second round prospect in most drafts, but it's clear that they liked what they saw from him as a mature 3-point shooter with good basketball IQ. He has lateral quickness deficiencies and defense will be an issue at the next level, but his work ethic and efficiency on both sides of the floor will go a long way toward covering that up.
A pick that serves as insurance for Danny Granger if he gets hurt or traded, it also bodes well for Hill that the Pacers have very little team-wide depth. His 3-point shooting and relative efficiency will give him a leg up providing fantasy value compared to other low-minute players if he can make the NBA leap.
Recommendation: Worth monitoring in deeper Dynasty leagues and a good preseason could put him on super-deep redraft radars.
24. Tim Hardaway, Jr., Michigan – SG – Knicks
Hardaway enters the league with perhaps a bigger name than his game, but in the end he still profiles as a guy with the chance to one day be a solid rotational player in the league. With middling to above-average attributes in most categories, and an improving shot with 3-point range, he has a shot to contribute if the Knicks can't re-sign J.R. Smith. If the team is sitting on just Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni and Iman Shumpert after the free agency period, there could be some borderline deep league appeal for owners.
Recommendation: Worth a look in deeper redraft formats if J.R. Smith leaves and the Knicks don't add a guard.
25. Reggie Bullock, North Carolina – SG – Clippers
In terms of a late-first round pick, Bullock is everything the Clippers could have asked for and then some as one of the draft's best shooters and potential to be a serviceable defender. He was profiled as a spot-up shooter at North Carolina, and that's where many draftniks believe his upside ends, but it's possible that his surrounding cast kept him from profiling other parts of his game.
Indeed, he will need to bulk up a bit and work to advance beyond a Danny Green-like offensive skill-set, but with good intangibles he has a shooter's chance as a role player next season if the last legs of Caron Butler don't hold up.
Recommendation: Worth a look in massive re-draft formats and super-deep Dynasty leagues
26. Andre Roberson, Colorado – SF/PF – Thunder (from Wolves)
Roberson appears to be the Thunder's draft day attempt to find a successor for Thabo Sefolosha on the defensive end, albeit more slanted to cover the 3s and 4s (think LeBron James). He can defend the shooting guard position, too, and is also a plus-rebounder for his position. The bad news is that he really struggled shooting the ball (55.1% FTs) and he's a bit undersized for his offensive position as a power forward. With no clear shot at a rotation slot and a lack of fantasy upside, owners can safely ignore him.
Recommendation: Ignore in all formats.
27. Rudy Gobert, France – PF/C – Jazz (from Nuggets)
At 7'1" tall with a 12-foot max vertical leap, Gobert has upside as a defensive presence in the NBA but at just 237 pounds he has a long ways to go gaining the strength necessary to bang down low. Other than soft hands and a decent free throw stroke (70% last year), his offense is very limited and his athleticism is sub-par. Gobert will likely play overseas or in the D-League next season, and with the Jazz frontcourt stocked the upside equation doesn't justify fantasy attention this year.
Recommendation: Ignore in all formats
28. Livio Jean-Charles, France – SF/PF – Spurs
When the pick was called the first words out of Doc's mouth was "that was a very Spurs-like pick." Known for their draft scouting and overseas work, Jean-Charles is a credible pickup in a section of the draft where the success rate is low. He took over the Nike Hoops Summit and subsequently got a promise from the Spurs, and did not work out for any other teams.
Ball-handling and building his strength are the areas he needs to work on, and he will likely be stashed overseas for at least a year. That means he should be available in almost all Dynasty leagues, so owners can watch his development from afar, but this is the type of player that does the little things and those guys have a knack for showing up on the floor under Gregg Popovich.
Recommendation: Worth a look in massive Dynasty leagues
29. Archie Goodwin, Kentucky – SG – Suns (from Warriors by way of Thunder)
Goodwin had a tale of two seasons last year as a freshman for Kentucky, and at 18 years of age he was the youngest American selected Thursday night. A prototypical upside pick, he has the athleticism and size to make an impact at his natural shooting guard position down the road, but overall inconsistency and some question marks about his mental makeup caused him to fall this far.
The good news is that he seemed to play better against good opposition before an in-conference slump dragged him down, and the Suns apparently view him also as a point guard. It wouldn't be shocking to learn that they hope he can be the answer for disappointing Kendall Marshall as the backup to Goran Dragic. With Phoenix having some of the worst depth in the league, Goodwin is a stone throw's away from deep league relevancy.
Recommendation: Worth a look in super-deep Dynasty leagues
30. Nemanja Nedovic, Lithuania – PG – Warriors (from Suns)
After a few small trades that saw Archie Goodwin and Malcolm Lee pass through the Warriors' possession, they settled on Nedovic as a backup point guard with the last pick of the first round. Nedovic has good athleticism and playmaking ability, but his fundamentals, handle and decision-making need work and that will keep him anchored to the bench for most of this year.
That said, if the Warriors cannot re-sign Jarrett Jack then a late-season role as the swing backup at guard is within his reach, depending on who the Warriors may pick up to backup the point.
Recommendation: Worth a look in massive Dynasty leagues if Jarrett Jack skips town
31. Allen Crabbe, Cal – SG – Blazers
Crabbe faces more competition than he can handle from a fantasy perspective with Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum ahead of him. But he is one of the best 3-point shooters in this year's draft and when one considers the lack of NBA-level talent on the Blazers' roster, it's conceivable he finds his way into the rotation at some point. Just keep his name in the Rolodex if injuries strike down the road.
35. Glen Rice, Jr., NBADL – SF – Wizards
Rice will enter this season with very little chance at playing time in a loaded wing set that includes Bradley Beal, Otto Porter and Trevor Ariza. And there are plenty of red flags for Rice, who was kicked off his college team for disciplinary reasons and doesn't play hard or smart. But like his father, he can shoot the lights out as he averaged a 40 percent clip from distance in the D-League, where he took over last season. If he can straighten out the deficiencies and keep from being a liability, and walk in a straight line off the court, then he could have some super-deep league value as a 3-point shooter.
Recommendation: Worth a look in super-deep Dynasty leagues and massive redraft leagues
37. Tony Mitchell, North Texas – SF/PF – Pistons
Mitchell had a first round grade by many and fell into the second round amidst concerns about his intangibles, and is your prototypical boom-or-bust prospect with plenty of athleticism. He won't get any immediate access to playing time behind Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, but beyond that he has just Charlie Villanueva to compete with on the current roster (Jason Maxiell is a free agent). He won't likely make an impact in fantasy leagues of any type this season, but the lack of depth in Detroit puts him one injury away from relevancy – if he can hack it.
Recommendation: Worth a look in super-deep Dynasty leagues if he has a noteworthy preseason
39. Jeff Withey, Kansas – C – Blazers
Withey has a ways to go before he hits the fantasy radar – namely he has to make a name for himself during Summer League and training camp – but with J.J. Hickson's future in doubt and LaMarcus Aldridge popping up in trade rumors, there could be an opening for a senior that averaged 13.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and a whopping 3.9 blocks per game last season for Kansas.
DraftExpress called him possibly the best defender in the NCAA last season, but noted his struggles on offense and the chance his sub-par athleticism has neared its ceiling as a senior. If he can beat out Joel Freeland for backup center duties, the next rung up on the ladder in Meyers Leonard is still more 'potential' than 'productivity.' There is upside for boards and blocks here but he's going to have to address the physical issues before he will get enough minutes to accumulate any fantasy value.
Recommendation: Worth a look in massive Dynasty leagues
***The Celtics traded Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry for Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and three first round picks, among other spare parts.
***The Sixers traded Jrue Holiday for No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel and the Hornets top-5 protected first round pick in 2014.
Gerald Wallace – Crash. As in 20-car pileup. It was hard to watch Wallace lose all of his confidence and wear his contract like a scarlet letter all season long, which was only exasperated by the Blazers grabbing Damian Lillard with the pick it cost the Nets to get him. Always prone to streaky shooting from year-to-year, it was still shocking to see him attempt just 6.6 shots per game last year in a sizable 30 minutes per contest (his lowest total since he played nine mpg for Sacramento in 2003-04).
Part of that was having heavy-touch guys all around him in Brooklyn, but the other part of that was him running away from the ball. With a history of his shot coming and going, and the potential that he is asked to do much more in Boston, fantasy owners shouldn't outright ignore Wallace this year.
His defensive numbers didn't slip much, if at all last season, and while a repeat of past top-50 campaigns is probably asking for too much – a bounce-back campaign likely sees him wander into the top-75 per-game rankings. Owners will want to adjust for the injury risk and chance he's over the hill, but as of right now he looks like a good late-round value if he's not overvalued by the crowd that thinks he's still Bobcat Wallace.
Kris Humphries – If it's possible for Humphries to pull out of his lateral spin, a change of scenery playing for a team going through reclamation shock might be the way to do it. But still, it's hard to ignore his disappearance last year and if we're drafting today he's well off the standard league radar. Don't be surprised if he's moved again, as Charlotte's name continues to come up in the rumor mill.
MarShon Brooks – Brooks took a nosedive in Brooklyn last year when he proved his rookie season to be a fluke, as he was no longer one of the team's only scorers and the Nets were no longer playing in a garbage-time environment every night. Yes, the Celtics are going to lack depth and they'll need scoring, but they already have a defensive liability with poor shot selection in Jordan Crawford, among others, and there's no guarantee Brooks can earn significant minutes. I'm waiting for multiple solid reports that he has turned the page before I'm paying too much attention here.
Kevin Garnett – KG dropped from a top 15-25 per-game play in 2011-12 to a top 35-50 guy last season, but playing in just 68 games he just missed being a true draft day win for fantasy owners. His numbers all stayed within a normal range with the exception of a seven-point drop in free throw percentage (78.6) over the past two seasons, but signs of decline were evident as he took incremental hits in many categories.
It comes with the territory for a 37-year old player, who will now get perhaps his last shot at a title playing in Prokhorov's billion dollar playpen. The Nets have bodies in Mirza Teletovic and rookie Miles Plumlee to help spell Garnett during the season, but they could really use Andray Blatche (UFA) back next season and it's unclear if they will want to pay him.
Either way it's fair for owners to expect a similar 26-29 mpg role for KG, and with some injury risk he looks like a guy to start considering in the late-middle rounds. It's not going to help that he's surrounded by guys capable of cutting into his touches, but Garnett doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective and he may also see a rebounding bump playing next to phobic glass cleaner Brook Lopez.
Paul Pierce – Every year there is a group of older players that are undervalued in drafts because of the threat of decline, and as usual Pierce helped carry the torch for those of advanced age. He had a top-40 finish on a per-game basis and played in 77 games, though he often looked like he was falling apart in the process.
Moving over to Brooklyn he's going to see a distinct change at the point guard position with willing scorer Deron Williams versus pass-happy Rajon Rondo. He's also going to contend with open mouths to feed in Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez. If the Nets are wise they move Johnson way off the ball and into spot-up position behind the arc, and while Garnett doesn't demand many touches both Williams and Bropez will – so the days of Pierce dominating the ball like he did late last season are pretty much over. Targeting him somewhere in the later-middle rounds to start makes sense.
Jason Terry – The Jet gets out of Boston and it's doubtful that either party is crying after the one-year experiment gone wrong. Terry is a long-shot to win any fantasy awards coming off the bench in a loaded lineup, but he is in striking distance of the top-75 if he can secure 27-30 mpg and add about 3-4 shot attempts per game over last year's 8.2 mark.
Despite his often invisible role for the Celtics, his shooting numbers held strong and his value will be buoyed by his 3-point shooting. Like Gerald Wallace, there's some value in the late rounds if your adversaries aren't drafting him like he's Dallas Terry.
It took some tweeting by our own resident Sixers expert Adam Levitan to chill me out on my empathy for Philly fans, who appeared to be gut-punched following the trade of Jrue Holiday to the Pelicans for the plummeting No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel.
It didn't help that Adrian Wojnarowski originally tweeted that the first round pick was going from the Sixers to the Pelicans. He eventually set the record straight during the middle of the chaos, but still, the outcry from analysts everywhere (this guy included) was a dying trumpet sound.
As Levitan pointed out, however, hanging on the middle rungs of mediocrity is a sure path to nowhere in the NBA. Getting a potential big-time talent in Noel and a top-5 protected pick from a likely cellar dweller in the Hornets to be used in a loaded 2014 draft isn't a bad call. And yes, Holiday is an above average point guard in the league on the upswing, but the net effect of this swap just positions them better as they tank the season – with the side benefit that Michael Carter-Williams gets a year to try and become a serviceable starting NBA point guard. They'll likely have the Hornets pick and their own lottery pick to reload with and they got younger in the process.
It's not a guaranteed success but hanging onto Holiday and winning 49 games wasn't bringing the next Julius Erving through that door. It's the same type of move the Sixers made with Andrew Bynum, which incidentally failed in spectacular fashion. And this move may not work out either.
It's a bold and ballsy decision, but as they say it's better to have lived than to never have gotten out of the first round (or so the legend goes).
As for Holiday's value, he's certainly not going to New Orleans to step aside for Greivis Vasquez or anybody else, and the only real concern I'd have about his value is that the Pelicans don't ride him nearly as hard as Doug Collins did in Philly. Eric Gordon could also try to take the air out of the basketball (or take his ball and go home), but with relatively little depth there should be enough touches to go around. He'll have plenty of weapons to space the floor with, too.
Owners can move into next year with the same expectations, as his improvement will likely outweigh any decrease in usage. As for Vasquez, he was a fantasy system guy in that turnover leagues killed him and his peripherals weren't strong – keeping him in the 65-100 range on a per-game basis. Now that he'll be moved into a swing backup guard role and off the ball, he's going to struggle to maintain standard league value as long as injury-prone Gordon is healthy.

For the Courier
The ball was probably in the air for three seconds, but it felt more like a minute. As it fell out of the sky Columbine's Andy Wright waited for it, undoubtedly ready to hit a smashing overhead winner.
Then, as the ball met his racket, it was clear his massive windup was a decoy the entire time. Wright faked everyone out, including his opponent, Dakota Ridge's Micah Schulman, and perfectly decelerated his racket to hit a gorgeous shot with precision and touch just over the net for an easy winner.

Diablo III is getting hit with a major change to the Monk class, after Blizzard determined that letting a overpowered rune exist in its current state was a "mistake." This comes among other hotfixes that apparently weakened the Wizard class as well.
The change comes to the Mantra of Healing rune, called Boon of Protection. It now caps damage absorption at the amount of healing provided by the Mantra of Healing in the first three seconds after activation. Blizzard recommends discontinuing its use until the rune is replaced in a future patch.
"The Boon of Protection rune was approximately ten times over its budget on the benefits it provided, and it was quite simply a mistake on our part to let the rune ship as it was," read a post from community manager Bashiok. "We don't intend to take these quick and drastic measures often, but considering the severity of the issue, we felt it important to correct it swiftly."
The post notes that other fixes are coming, and forum users seem to have spotted at least one of them. Many players are noting that the Wizard has had his Force Armor weakened without a notice yet.
So how is Blizzard just now catching such large problems after the game spent two years in "polish mode"? A follow-up post from Bashiok says that the game is adapting to player data. "The game is still young, there were some skills that threw things out of whack, and we expect the landscape to settle out a bit more evenly. Or at least change again so we can continue to monitor the impact," the post read. "Maybe we're wrong, maybe there's no current chance for monk or barbarian to compete with ranged, but our current suspicion is that's incorrect and until we know for sure we're not going to turn any dials."
And to assuage some fears that the Monk would be underpowered now, Bashiok points out that "general class balance is an ongoing investigation" and claims that "the monk and barbarian are not as bad off as they seem."
If you want some tips on surviving Nightmare Mode, check out our latest Diablo III Diary. John Keefer is playing as a Monk, and "use overpowered rune" wasn't even one of his tips.

NEW LONDON, N.C. -- Junior Julian Suri fired a six-under 66, while senior Spencer Anderson and junior Adam Sumrall each recorded two-under 70s on Saturday as Duke posted the second-best round of the day with a 10-under 278 to move into fifth place after 36 holes of play at the ACC Championship at Old North State Club. The Blue Devils climbed four spots on the leaderboard and enter tomorrow's final round at nine-under (567).
" It was nice to get into double digits [under-par] today," said head coach Jamie Green. "Certainly Georgia Tech is dissecting this golf course at another level, but it was nice to move up the leaderboard and get into the hunt. Julian was in a really good frame of mind today and that is certainly the bounce back you are looking for. It was nice have him be in that position, while Spencer and Adam continued to play solid golf and were able to finish a little bit more and fill in the gaps a little bit better today."
Defending champions Georgia Tech continues to set the pace at the Old North State with a -32 under 544, 11 shots better than second place Virginia. Florida State is third with a 559 (-17) and followed by Clemson (-11, 565), Duke (-9, 567), North Carolina (-7, 569), Virginia Tech (-6, 570), Maryland (-6, 570), N.C. State (-3, 573), Wake Forest (-2, 574) and Boston College (+22, 598).
Richie Werenski (Georgia Tech) holds the lead after two rounds of play with a nine-under 135 after firing a 66 on Saturday. He currently sits one shot ahead of Lee Bedford (Wake Forest), Denny McCarthy (Virginia) and Blake Redmond (Virginia Tech).
Suri put together a terrific round featuring eight birdies, eight pars and a pair of bogeys. He opened the day with birdies on No. 1 (par 5) and No. 2 (par 4) and added another birdie on No. 4 (par 5) to move to three-under. Suri suffered a bogey on the par 3 seventh hole but countered with his fourth birdie of the front nine on No. 8. After the turn, the St. Augustine, Fla., native ripped off four straight birdies to charge up the leaderboard and get to seven-under on the round. Suri parred the next four holes before dropping a stroke on the par 5 18th hole. With his 16th under-par round and the ninth round in the 60s this season, Suri surged into a tie for 13th on the leaderboard.
"There was not a huge difference out there today but my tempo was a lot better off the tee which allowed me to be aggressive on some holes I wasn't able to yesterday," said Suri. "Conditions were very similar to yesterday so I knew I needed to make a lot of birdies. It was nice to see some putts go in. I am looking forward to some of the same tomorrow."
Anderson collected his second under-par round of the tournament with a two-under 70 to move into a tie for 16th at three-under 141. The Pacific Palisades, Calif., native began the day with eight straight pars before getting into red figures with a birdie on the par 4 ninth hole. He fell back to even-par following a bogey on No. 13 but quickly recovered with a birdie on the 191-yard, par 3 14th hole. Following three more pars, Anderson capped the round with a birdie on No. 18 for the second straight day.
Sumrall continued his stellar play with a two-under 70 to move into a tie for 19th at 142 (-2). The junior from South Bend, Ind., opened with a birdie on No. 1 but made the turn at even-par after carding a bogey on No. 6. He collected seven pars and birdied both par 5s (No. 11 and No. 18) on the back nine for his second under-par rounds of the year. Sumrall has 28 pars, five birdies and three bogeys through the first two rounds of play.
Junior Brinson Paolini is tied for 26th after shooting an even-par 72 for the second straight day. He began the day with four pars before collecting a birdie on the 427-yard par 4 fifth hole. The Virginia Beach, Va., native dropped strokes on No. 6 and No. 8 to make the turn at one-over. Paolini recovered with birdies on No. 13 (par 4) and No. 16 (par 4) to move into red figures before suffering a bogey on the par 5 18th hole.
Austin Cody, a sophomore from North Charleston, S.C., is tied for 47th (+6) after recording a four-over 76 on Saturday. He had three birdies and nine pars in the round but also suffered five bogeys and a double-bogey on the day.
Duke opens final round play on Sunday at 10:10 a.m. and will be paired with Clemson and North Carolina. Live scoring for the event is available at www.golfstat.com. Live web streaming will be available for free on Sunday, April 22 (1:30pm to conclusion of play) on the ACC.com.
"It sounds like there could be some weather issues tomorrow that can make the course more challenging," said Green. "We aren't really going to have a number expectation going into the round, but I know our guys wouldn't mind it if the wind starting blowing and the rain is coming down. That will start to separate the field and the guys that are a little more tough-minded, patient and smart will be the guys that continue to move up the leaderboard."
*** Duke's 10-under 278 matched Clemson for second-lowest team score of the second round ... the 278 is also tied for the second lowest Blue Devil round at Old North State Club in ACC Championship play ... Duke has posted an under-par team score in 10 of the last 14 rounds at the course.
*** As a team, the Blue Devils had seven birdies on the opening five holes of play ... Duke was also five-under on the par 5s at Old North State Club on Saturday.

Christmas brings the child out in everyone.
Well just look what has sneaked upon us. Not winter, even though it has been unusually cold this year and so early. It is Christmas that has sneaked upon us. Can anyone believe that it is Christmas already? Well almost 365 days ago we were celebrating Christmas 2012 and in just a few days we will be celebrating the Christmas of 2013. The Christmases do begin to stack up, don't they?
Christmas brings the child out in everyone. We all remember when we were kids at Christmas time. We all remember the anticipation of Santa Claus, the birth of Jesus Christ and the magic of the Christmas spirit. That is what Christmas is all about. It brings the memories of yesteryear with us also. Those memories, good or bad, are there for everyone to pull out.
The memories of those trips to grandmother's house. Those are precious and everyone has a specific one, don't they? Remember all of those fresh baked pies, those aromas coming from the kitchen that made you so hungry. That is the visit to grandmother's house during the holidays. Every family has their own memory and believe me we still can remember after all of those years.
My Grandmother and Grandfather Austin in DeWitt always had their house open to us for Christmas. We started to arrive there around 11 a.m. My cousins from Texas were always there when we arrived because they had stayed there over night or with relatives in and around the DeWitt area. Because there were so many kids there we always had fun and our grandmother always made it fun.
I remember one time, when she was cooking and I was down there when I was much older, she had a number of pots boiling on the stove counter and watching all of them at one time.
She would taste them and throw some ingredients in the pots, like salt, pepper or some herbs. I asked her, "How much did you put in there Grandma?" She would reply, "a pinch of this and a pinch of that." I just looked at her. I knew she knew what she was doing because everything tasted so good.
My grandparents never bought a tree from the local merchants. My relatives went out in the country and cut her a tree or she went out and picked out the tree to put in her house. That was how Christmas was spent at our Grandparents Austin's house. They always bought our parents gifts, which weren't much, maybe some things for the house, sheets, linens or towels, but always something. The kids got $1 each. This was when $1 went a lot further than it does now. We were all excited. This was say 50 or 55 years ago.
Life was much simplier back then. I also remember one time when we stayed over and we boys were altogether in one room and somehow Grandpa got in there. We were all lying on pallets, remember what that was? Anyway, We all rolled our eyes when Grandpa was in the room. We asked him why he was there and why we were going to bed so early. It had to be around 7 or maybe 7:30 p.m. He told us we needed to go to bed early because Santa Claus was on his way.
We were of different ages from five to around 12 or 13, maybe 15 or 16. I don't think anyone was any older. We all had fun and didn't know any different. My grandparents in DeWitt didn't have much money back then, but we didn't care besides the house always seemed like it was very comfortable. The house was torn down just in the past year or two. Only memories are there now. That is the way it should be.
Christmas is that magical time when you make memories. I made a special memory with someone. I took her shopping each Chirstmas from when she was 2 years old until she was maybe 17, when that stopped. That is a special memory and you can do that too. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Frictional Games Blog has a postmortem on Amnesia: Dark Descent, the horror game that was first released a little over two years ago (thanks Joao). They explain why they can only estimate how many copies they've sold at around a million, and how they are still managing to sell about 10,000 copies per month. They estimate the game cost $360K to make, and has since earned ten times that amount, prompting them to offer this perspective on piracy: "It has been over a year since we even thought about piracy. With sales as good as above we cannot really see this as an issue worth more than two lines in this post, so screw it."

Eurogamer reports that account holders on EA's Origin service are receiving emails confirming they have successfully changed passwords and/or email accounts, in spite have not making any such request. They say this has affected one of their own, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter, and point to a thread on NeoGAF with similar stories.

I am frequently asked what the difference between the parties is. The Republicans are conservatives aren't they?
To the editor:
I am frequently asked what the difference between the parties is. The Republicans are conservatives aren't they? Aren't the Democrats liberals? This common perspective is both widely accepted (the dictionary definition of myth) and also misleading.
Many Republicans do support such conservative beliefs as opposition to abortion, mainstream religious values, balanced budgets, etc. Many Democrats do support a more fair and equal society, relegation of religious values to the non-public sphere, and free issuance of money and debt in pursuit of benefits for all members of our society. This is the truth part of these myths. However, the values of both parties have eroded and the majorities of both parties (at least those in office) favor lines typically closer to the middle. In fact, some Democrats share values more in line with the Republican platform while some
Republicans share values more in line with the Democrat platform.
It has become harder and harder to tell the difference based solely on their label. It is a citizen's duty to get to know them. Unfortunately, most of us will not do that but just vote along major party lines because we have always voted that way or because we have been told to do so.
One party does stand out and because of that, it is growing – 50 percent over the past year. It certainly appears to be the party of the future. The Conservative Party holds the values that our grandparents would have recognized but which both parties have largely forgotten or just give lip service to. Religious values, Second Amendment, fiscal sanity, and America first (including ending all too common military adventures) – the party was created to support all of these because many know that no other party will. The Conservative Party has now come to Leavenworth. Hope to see you at the membership meeting at the Leavenworth Public Library on March 23 at 10 a.m.

Hey y'all...I have Coach's okay to offer for sale several autographed Chiefs items/memorabilia from my personal collection of the past 20+ years in this forum. I will begin posting photo's & descriptions later this evening. I have many autographed footballs & mini helmets autographed personally by Chiefs legends, including HOF'ers. As well, many novelty items too, including vintage.
Most of the autographed items I've obtained myself over the years, or through people I knew personally to be reliable that had access to Chiefs practice's at Arrowhead, etc.. I personally guarantee all items to be authentic. I'm an honest person, and I will also note any defects or flaws that the photo's may not reveal, although most of my items are in excellent condition overall.
As a result of my divorce in April 2009...my priority now must be surviving financially until I can sell my home, move closer to Kansas City, obtain employment. I need to pay my basic bills to survive in the meantime, as no feasible job opportunities have come to be, that I've applied for surrounding my rural community in the last several months.
Those items that are dear to my heart specifically, such as those my kids or friends have given me over the years as special gifts...I will be keeping. As well, a future home in Kansas City won't be able to feasibly display my collection of Chiefs memorabilia. No need to feel badly for me, nor for buying an item. It makes me happier knowing items will be going to homes of dedicated loyal Chiefs fans, of whom will appreciate the items as much as I do, & have over the years. God is beside me, I'm a survivor, and hopefully soon my house will sell, and I'll be able to re-build my life completely. I'll be closer to Arrowhead too when I'm able to relocate! :)
I have a difficult time pricing items, as I have no idea of current market or collectible value. This is the sort of personal collectible that varies in value...depending upon an individual desire and what it's worth to them. As well, I want any one interested to have a fair opportunity to acquire an item they may want...rather than just put a price on an item selling it to the first person that happens to want it.
All factor's considered, I feel it's best, including fair opportunity for all...for me to offer the items for sale on a 'will accept best offer' method. If you see an item you would like to buy, please PM me the best offer you're comfortable with. The item will be sold to the person making the highest offer, regardless of whether or not it may be considered low, as I said, my priority is paying my basic survival bills, not whether an offer may be considered low. I realize I'm not the only one struggling financially, so please offer what you feel comfortable with affordably. I will accept offers through August 15th. :)
Payments can be made one of three ways:
1) To my Paypal account, of which transactions are secure & insured.
2) Personal check or money order mailed to me directly.
3) In person, paid for when picking the item(s) up. It's not feasible for me to make several trips to Kansas City, so if you're wanting to pick an item up personally, you will need to do so either at location arranged near my home, or at my home if I know you and am comfortable, haha. I live about an hour & half drive NW of Arrowhead Stadium. If you're going to be attending the MNF game tailgating event, I can also bring items with me then. :)
If an item is to be mailed to you after receipt of payment, I package all items safely, & will mail Priority with tracking. I will note shipping cost to the item description post, which will be in addition to your best offer.
Any questions?...please ask.

DURHAM, NC – Senior Henrique Cunha became the program's all-time leader in career doubles wins Sunday, as the fifth-ranked Duke men's tennis team defeated Charlotte, 9-0, at the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center. The Blue Devils move to 3-0 on the spring with the win.
"It was a great first home weekend for us, I thought we played well again today," said head coach Ramsey Smith. "This will give us a lot of confidence going into the ITA Kick-Off in a couple of days."
For the second consecutive day, the Blue Devils overwhelmed their opponents in doubles. The top-ranked pair of Cunha and sophomore Raphael Hemmeler continued their impressive play, collecting their 11th consecutive victory dating back to the fall with an 8-2 decision over Jack Williams and Forrest Edwards of Charlotte. With the win, Cunha passed Doug Root to sit atop the program chart for most career doubles wins in a career at 122.
"It is just numbers," Cunha said of the record. "I prefer to just stay focused on the courts and to keep doing my job. Rafa [Hemmeler] and I are playing well. I think we have a chance to have a very good season if we continue to do well."
On court two, freshman Michael Redlicki and Jason Tahir defeated Charlotte's Alex Calott and Paul Cisti, 8-2, to clinch the doubles point for the Blue Devils, while the duo of juniors Chris Mengel and Fred Saba completed the sweep with an 8-2 victory over Jordi Massalle Ferrer and Krzysztof Kwasniewicz.
Freshmen Daniel McCall and Josh Levine defeated Linares and Shanok, 8-1, in an exhibition doubles match.
In singles, 38th-ranked Hemmeler earned the first singles point of the match for the second consecutive day as he defeated Paul Cisti in the No. 5 position, 6-1, 6-2. Cunha, who became program's all-time leader in singles victories in the fall, downed Jack Williams in the No. 1 position, 6-0, 6-0. The Jaú, Brazil native, has won 18 consecutive games over the past two days.
Playing in the No. 2 position for first time in his collegiate career, Redlicki overpowered Forrest Edwards, 6-2, 6-2, to earn his third consecutive victory in a dual match, while moments later Mengel clinched the match for Duke with his 6-4, 6-2 decision over Calott at the No. 4 spot in the lineup.
"Mike played really well," Smith said. "He is working on being aggressive, using his size and trying to dictate a little more. He did that in doubles and singles this weekend. It's a really good start for him. It is key for freshmen to get wins early and get confidence in dual matches. He is looking really good."
After staying on serve until 3-3 in his match on court six, Tahir was able to pull away from Charlotte's Kwasniewicz by winning the final nine games of the match to clinch a 6-3, 6-0 decision. After pulling out a thrilling three-set victory on Saturday over Elon's Stefan Fortmann, Saba won his match over Massalle Ferrer, 6-2, 6-3, in the No. 3 slot.
With Duke and Charlotte playing a rare best-of-nine contest, McCall clinched his fifth consecutive singles match over Hector Linares, 6-1, 6-0, at the No. 8 spot while Levine defeated Linares, 6-2, 6-4, in the No. 7 singles match.
Up next, the Blue Devils will serve as one of 15 host sites for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kick-Off Jan. 25-27. Duke will play Middle Tennessee State Friday, Jan. 25 at 10 a.m. The winner of that match will then face the winner of Virginia Tech and Northwestern match in a championship on Saturday at 6 p.m., with the winner advancing to the ITA National Team Indoors Feb. 15-18 in Seattle, Wash.

Johannes Brahms
Scherzo e flat minor op. 4
Editor: Katrin Eich
Fingering: Andreas Boyde
11.95 $
Urtext Edition, paperbound

Order no. HN 569 · ISMN 979-0-2018-0569-6
Level of difficulty (Piano): difficult (Level 7)
The Scherzo op. 4 was written in 1851 – Brahms was not even 20 years old – and was a kind of calling card with which the young composer and pianist introduced himself to influential musicians. He also played the Scherzo to the Schumanns several times in 1853, and thus might have inspired his older colleague to write the famous article "Neue Bahnen" (New Ways). In it, Schumann praised "single piano pieces, some of them turbulent in spirit while graceful in form". We are publishing the work that has until now only been available in the volume HN 38 in a single edition. It has recently been revised following the musical text of the new Brahms Complete Edition and now also contains new fingerings by Andreas Boyde.

Guide to the levels of difficulty
"I don't know what 'difficult' means. Either you can play or you can't" – this was the rather terse comment by the great violinist Nathan Milstein, on being asked about the unbelievable difficulty of Niccolo Paganini's Caprice no. 1.
The relativity of the evaluation of difficulty in music immediately becomes clear. Yet I gladly take up this great challenge, presented to me by G. Henle Publishers. For I am aware of how useful a guide like this can be, both from my own experience as well as that of many colleagues. In particular so as to be able to identify "appropriate" works. For example for music teachers, who teach at very different levels, from beginners to those preparing for music conservatories, but also for all those interested amateurs for whom this guide is intended.
After careful deliberation I have settled on nine levels of difficulty, which I have divided into three groups: 1–3 (easy), 4–6 (medium), 7–9 (difficult). A number of parameters have been considered when assessing the level of difficulty. I have not just looked at the number of fast or slow notes to be played, or the chord sequences; of central importance are also the complexity of the piece's composition, its rhythmic complexities, the difficulty of reading the text for the first time, and last but not least, how easy or difficult it is to understand its musical structure. I have defined "piece" as being the musical unit of a sonata, or a single piece in a cycle, which is why Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" Part I comprises a total of 48 levels of difficulty (each prelude and fugue is considered separately), Schumann's Sonata in f sharp minor op.11 only has a single number. My assessment is measured by the ability to prepare a piece for performance.
While assessing the pieces, it became clear that the medium level of difficulty (4–6) is the trickiest. Now and again this means that a piece is judged as a "3/4", even if it only deserved a "3" as far as piano technique is concerned. An example of such a "borderline" case (easy/medium) is Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood" op. 15 Von fremden Ländern und Menschen or at the other end "6/7" part of Bach's "English Suites". And of course within a main category there are also "from-to" evaluations (e.g. 7/8).
Any evaluation of art or music will always be subjective, even if the aim was to be objective. Despite the fact that I have endeavoured to be as careful as possible, I am all too aware that the results of my work can be called into question, and am therefore grateful for any suggestions you might have.

ROCKFORD — Wes Kemp grew up along the Rock River and the boat culture that goes with it.
Now, he spends a chunk of his summer patrolling it as one of the Winnebago County Sheriff's deputies assigned to operate the department's three boats.
"I'm used to being on the water — boats, jet skis — that's what I grew up doing," said Kemp, a 1993 Harlem High School graduate who began working at the Winnebago County Juvenile Detention Center in 2000 and the Sheriff's Department in 2003. The Sheriff's Department puts deputies in boats to patrol the river each weekend during the summer, as well as Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.
"When we are out there, we are doing 12-hour shifts and that can wear on you," Kemp said. "But at the end of the day, you were out on the water and I've always enjoyed that."
The Sheriff's Department has about a dozen deputies who rotate river duty, said Lt. Chief Scott Meyers. Mainly they are out there to remind people to drive their boats safely. Deputies write just a handful of tickets each year.
"Mostly, it's for speeding," Kemp said. The speed limit on the Rock River is 45 mph during the day and 25 mph at night.
That isn't to say the job is without hazards. Kemp said jet skis, because of their maneuverability, are the biggest concern. Then there's the party-boat crowd.
"You get that a lot on the holiday weekends. You'll have people who drive a boat once a year and really don't know what they are doing."
Alcohol is also a complicating factor.
"A couple of years ago (2011) there was a fight on the boat and a guy was knocked into the water and died, but it didn't happen on my shift," Kemp said. "Really, we're just out there to make sure people are behaving safely so everyone can have fun. The river is something to be enjoyed."
What's the strangest reason he had to stop a boat?
"One time there was this pontoon boat and they had 13 people sitting on top of the roof. That's not safe," he said.

A new generation of Falcons are soaring into the future.
Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School held commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2014 on Saturday at the school's football field, with 202 students receiving their diplomas.
Lauren Farris, valedictorian for the class, congratulated her fellow graduates for meeting the challenges that high school presented since the first day of freshman year.
"Ever since, classmates, you have risen to and overcome challenges every week, every year," Farris said. "On the field, in the classroom, on the stage and beyond, every one of us took advantage of the opportunities given us and came out better for the experience."
Farris said it's now time for the Class of 2014 to approach new challenges, but that D-R has prepared them well.
"Now, as we go forth with lessons learned at D-R in mind, we again must start over as we did four years ago," Farris said. "Whether it be at college, in the military, or in the workforce, we all must once again rise to new challenges. This time, however, taking on the unknown will not be as frightening. We have done it before, have we not?"
Zoe Karavolis, class president, told her fellow graduates that the way they have turned mistakes — like forgetting homework, failed tests, break-ups and bad days — into lessons has created defining moments in their lives and has built character.
"Although these past four years have been full of failure, we have still succeeded," Karavolis said. "Our real success is how we have reacted to our failure. I do not mean our immediate reaction. I mean the way we take our mistakes and turn them into lessons. High school has not only provided us with the opportunity to do that, but has demanded that we learn more than the material taught in the classroom. It has given us the opportunity to experience so much more than what is in our textbooks."
Dighton-Rehoboth Assistant Principal John Harrison told the graduates "life is not easy," but it's always important to keep learning from the challenges they face.
"The decisions you face in life often lead to uncertainty, but when you are true to yourself, you will grow as a person and eventually achieve success that makes you happy," Harrison said. "On behalf of the faculty and staff, we wish you nothing but the best in life. You deserve it."
Case Framson, salutatorian of the graduating class, quoted Aristotle, saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Framson said that the 202 graduates were able to succeed by working together to build a community, and that the Class of 2014 should continue building community wherever life leads them.
"Our years together have taught me that D-R is not only a school with a Falcon in the foyer," Framson said "Everyone here has taught me that someone will always be on your side. … Wherever you go follow your heart and create a community like we have here, one where you know that you can trust your friends and your mentors and when you fall you have hands to help pick you up and dust you off. … Wherever you go in life create a community where the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts."
Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee Chairwoman Eliza Couture told the graduating class to follow their heart, take what they learned from D-R and make the community proud.
"As you continue to challenge your mind, don't neglect your heart," Couture said. "It, too, was trained here through teamwork and service to community. So be successful graduates, do well and always do good along the way. And it was here, surrounded by those that supported you that your courage and confidence flourished. Be brave, take risks and do the impossible. We're counting on you."

Hamm, overslept today in spite of falling off early last night. Not sure what's up with that, it's not like I feel sick or overtired or anything. Oh well, it could have been worse; I could have been awakened by the G-Man, but I wasn't. At least I don't think I was.
