About Alex M.Close
I have been performing music most of my life & have acquired many tips & tricks along the way, from show choirs to progressive rock bands & back again.
About Alex
I graduated from the University of St. Thomas "Cum Laude" in 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree in Guitar Performance, with minors in Music Production & Composition. While attending St. Thomas I served as the Music Theory tutor, as well as the live sound/stage/light/recording technician for student & faculty recitals.
I have been playing professionally & teaching for over a decade. My passion for music is something that I love to share with anyone else who feels inclined to make music. My goal is to share the skills & knowledge I've acquired throughout my experiences with those willing to learn & dedic
*** Lesson Details ***
I am an experienced gigging musician in most major genres of music: classical, jazz, blues, rock, funk, folk, metal, acoustic fingerstyle/slap, instrumental rock, "shred," pop, world music, electronica, etc. & feel comfortable conveying the techniques, approaches & idioms to a student by breaking them down into digestible components, while making these new ideas relatable to material they are already familiar with.
In the end, I want the student to learn what they're most interested in learning. I'm here to answer any questions they may have & with my experiences, I feel confident that I will be able to either answer these questions or point them in the right direction. Some topics covered:
Ear training
Instrument-specific techniques (ie bending, tapping, sweep picking, etc.)
Songwriting & Composition
Arranging & Orchestrating
Chordal theory & how to read charts
Practice routines & approaches
Instrument maintenance
Instrument-based gear (guitars, amplifiers, effects, picks, slides, capos, etc.)
The student will learn at the pace they set for themselves & can only get out of it the amount of effort they put forth. I expect my students to practice on a regular basis (however brief each session may be). Consistency is key for progress to be made, & if they hold up their end of the bargain, the payoffs will be quite substantial!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Practice amplifier, tuner, music stand(s), guitar picks & cables.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide guitar neck paper. I expect the students to have their own instrument & any materials they may need to achieve the goals they've set for themselves (such as a weekly notebook).
*** Specialties ***
Progressive rock, classic rock, blues, jazz, funk, disco, classical, acoustic fingerstyle/slap, flamenco guitar; music theory, sight-reading, composition, songwriting, film scoring, music production.

I found Zach through 'take lessons' after my daughter had a few years with an intense classical pianist. I want my daughter to have fun and appreciate music and not feel the intense pressure she was feeling with our previous instructor. Zach was the perfect choice. My daughter loves her lessons. Zach does take time off for his professional endevors. Good for him. He has always let us know and connected with us when he returns.

About Melody M.Close
There are many routes and discoveries toward becoming a singer and here are a few of the steps.
1) Memorize musical selections and routines, or sing following printed text, musical notation, or instructions.
2) Interpret or modify music, applying knowledge of harmony, melody, rhythm, and voice production to individualize presentations and maintain audience interest.
3) Observe choral leaders or prompters for cues or directions in vocal presentation.
4) Perform before live audiences, or in television, radio, or movie productions.
5) Practice singing exercises and study with vocal coaches, in order to develop their voices and skills and to rehearse for upcoming roles.
6) Seek out and learn new music that is suitable for live performance and/or recording.
About Melody
My lessons provide students with an opportunity to deeply explore the voice, build confidence, and to develop healthy and effective singing practices, which can be applied to any style of musical singing and playing.
A well-rounded music education is very important and I have fun and educational resources for learning vocal technique, ear training, harmony, pitch matching and music theory.
I am very fortunate to have performed and studied Classical and Opera, musical theater productions, have sang in Rock, Pop, Country, R&B
In addition to being vocally healthy, I encourage self-expression and enhance self-esteem in my students: singers of all ages, skill levels and styles. Plus, it has to be fun, otherwise why do it? Singing is a process and less about the end goal and we train the body, mind and use imagination and it's a very exciting process!
***My students regularly receive scholarships and placement in music schools and programs around the U.S., have won competitions, do well in auditions, are performing in successful bands and/or recording artists.
I am energetic and enthusiastic; actively promote values and traditional teaching practices coupled with the introduction of technology into the lesson. My experience as an educator is to share passion and talent for music with the next generation of musicians and outstanding communication skills. I really care about my students and provide the tools to help them reach their goals!
Bachelor of Music, minor in Psychology from Michigan State University
Master of Vocal Pedagogy from Oakland University
Here is some of my experience as a performer: I have sung Internationally at the renowned Eisteffodd Music Festival in Wales, toured through Britain and performed at the Laupin Agile Cabaret in Paris. I was honored with a nomination to attend the prestigious Yale Cabaret Conference and worked with cabaret legend Julie Wilson and Manhattan Transfer founder Laurel Masse. Sung and performed roles with the Mid-Michigan and Detroit Opera Companies. Performed a production of Sleepwalkers with the Kari Margolis Brown Company at the O'Shaughnessy Theatre. I currently perform all over the Twin Cities with my own R&B/Soul Band, Melody and The Dramatics! Plus, I am a contract vocalist and perform in a variety of other projects, so needless to say, it is all a very awesome ride!
*** Lesson Details ***
My laid-back and fun approach allows for versatility and is tailored to meet the needs of the individual student. When studying the art of singing you are gaining skills, which build confidence.
When you understand what you're doing and why, you bring more confidence to your performance. Progress is made with regular practice outside of lessons. Voice students record each private lesson through their devices and take notes in their own notebooks.
I have "warm-up" tracks which you can use in your car or at home and you will notice significant improvement once you start your routine.
Practicing is very important and I have great methods to teach students how to maximize their time and get the best results! I am privileged to have an opportunity to teach and very passionate about coaching a student to meet his or her musical goals!
Also, I have a Beagle named "Bacon" and he will always be very excited to see you, however he does calm down when you're in the studio. In addition, I have two cats, so please let me know if you have allergies or any special recommendations.
Thanks so much!

The house is in a cul-de-sac and there is ample street parking. Also, in the case of a snow emergency, you will be able to park in the driveway.
*** Specialties ***
I teach in a variety of vocal styles including, rock, pop, jazz, country and classical, keyboard and music theory. I have been trained by some of the best instructors in the country and strive for my students to be vocally healthy, so they'll have long careers. I also perform in professional bands, orchestras and can bring that experience into the lesson.
Energetic and enthusiastic; actively promote values and traditional teaching practices coupled with the introduction of technology into the lesson. Experienced educator eager to share passion and talent for music with the next generation of musicians and outstanding communication skills.

About Nicole C.Close
Music performance can mean many things; how do you perform in a band, in a musical, during an audition, in a coffee shop, in front of 10,000 people, in front of 1 person, even in front of a mirror. I have done all of these, and from my experience, each one requires something different. I can show you how. I also have a microphone and amplified sound in my studio.

Music Criticism: How To Handle a Critical Audience
Years ago, I heard my first band would be featured in the local paper and I was so excited to read the article. I hurried home to read it and found that the short blurb was far from complimentary. A public critique like that can make you want to give up. I certainly wanted to hide under my bed for a week! However, I have learned how to handle criticism and continued to make music that makes me happy. In the time since then, I have been lucky enough to receive both criticism and positive revie … Read More

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Cortland graduate student quarterback Dan Pitcher (Cortland) passed for three touchdowns, including two scores to sophomore John Babin (Warwick Valley), as the nationally 13th-ranked Red Dragons rallied from a 12-7 third-quarter deficit to defeat visiting Buffalo State, 28-12, in the season opener for both teams.
Pitcher finished 13-of-27 passing for 169 yards. Babin caught five passes for 86 yards and junior tailback Justin Autera (Mahopac) rushed for 82 yards and a score.
Buffalo State junior quarterback Ryan Lehotsky (North Royalton, OH) completed 21-of-33 passes for 237 yards. He was 14-of-19 for 191 yards in the first half. Sophomore Mike Doherty (Tonawanda/Kenmore East) caught six passes for 93 yards.
The Bengals took a 3-0 lead on a Nick Debbins (Lancaster) 25-yard field goal with 9:52 left in the first quarter. Less than four minutes into the second quarter, junior linebacker Pasquale Vacchio (Glen Head/North Shore) sacked Pitcher and forced a fumble. Senior Kimani George (Brooklyn/William E. Grady) caught the fumble in mid-air and raced 25 yards for a touchdown. The extra point failed and Buffalo State led 9-0.
An unsportsmanlike penalty after the touchdown, however, forced the Bengals to kick off from their own 15-yard line. Cortland started the ensuing drive on the Buffalo State 45-yard line, and on the fourth play Babin took a screen pass and broke free for a touchdown that drew the Red Dragons within 9-7.
A Debbins 27-yard field goal midway through the third quarter put the guests ahead 12-7. The Bengals, however, failed to move the ball into Cortland territory on any of its final six drives of the game.
Following the Debbins field goal, Cortland mounted a 9-play, 73-yard drive that culminated in a 24-yard TD pass from Pitcher to senior tight end Brian Haber (Northport) with 4:54 left in the third.
On their next possession, the Red Dragons drove 59 yards on five plays for another score. Babin's 29-yard reception on 3rd-and-7 moved the ball to the 12-yard line, and Pitcher found him again on the next play for a 12-yard touchdown and a 21-12 lead. Autera finished the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown run with 1:55 left in the game.
Junior linebacker Chris Bright (East Meadow) led Cortland with nine tackles, 1.5 for losses, and a fumble recovery. Junior safety Steven Lenhart (Ticonderoga) added eight tackles and senior linebacker Bill Smith (Nanuet) finished with seven stops and a forced fumble.
Senior defensive back Kevin Healy (East Meadow) paced Buffalo State with eight tackles. Vacchio totaled seven tackles, six solo, a forced fumble and two tackles for losses.
Buffalo State outgained Cortland 296-250 in total offense. The Bengals held a 222-77 advantage in the first half and Cortland gained 173 yards to Buffalo State's 74 over the final 30 minutes.
Cortland is off next week and will host Kean University on Sept. 17 at 1 p.m. Buffalo State will play its lone non-league game of the season next week, Sept. 10, when it travels to St. John Fisher for a 7 p.m. contest. Cortland and Buffalo State were playing as New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) foes for the final time – Buffalo State is moving to the Empire 8 in 2012.

In May of 2013 I was instructed by someone not to cum for a year. He also instructed me to play with myself, but any sight of pre-cum I must add six months of no cumming. This could go on for years. Of course I have six months added. I have also been instructed online to put my cock and balls in ice water for a year. I am to hold my cock and balls in ice water for 1 minute; pull out for 1 minute, then repeat this 3 times. If I spill water I add another minute. I also must set my laptop on my cock and balls with no cover, which I am doing now. This is to loosen my cock and balls so I can pull my cock and balls behind my legs during the night to stretch my scrotum and they want my balls to hurt me daily. I write this for you to understand I do as instructed even if it is by chat. My question is, will this hurt me in the long term? I must do it because I do not want to seem as a fake submissive. I guess what I really want to know is what could this do to me in the long run? I have many more things I must do; such as ruler spanking, tie up with weights etc. My instructors plan this on a yearly plus extended plan.
Thank you,
You've been at this extreme cock and ball torture and ejaculation control for nearly a year and you are just now getting around to asking about the possible adverse consequences? Well that don't make no sense at all, my friend.
And I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that you are gonna continue this behavior regardless of what I may tell you. These "instructors" of yours, you only know them from online, right? Listen, I'm all for someone enjoying the life of a submissive. Knock yourself out with that already! What I don't get is how you can submit to someone you don't really know. How can you be sure these "instructors" have your best interest at heart and not just making you do stupid and dangerous stuff for their own gratification? Maybe they know they have a gullible twit on their hands who will do anything they tell him to do; and so they make this twit (you) do stuff that endangers his wellbeing. And here's a tip, pal: doin' stupid stuff just because some jerk online tells you to do it doesn't make you a fake submissive. You clearly know nothing about Dominance and submission.
Here's the thing, real submissives don't' gamble with their health and wellbeing. They also don't entrust themselves to a Dom that will abuse the power exchange relationship.
The ejaculation control seems excessive to me, but it's your body. Apparently this gets you off in some fashion or another, just not in the tradition "shoot your wad" sorta way.
Extreme ejaculation control, especially over a long period of time will surely impact your sexual response cycle. This excessive edging may make cuming with a partner in the future difficult if not impossible. But maybe that doesn't concern you. But if future sexual satisfaction with a partner is important to you then I'd suggest you cut back on ejaculation control ASAP.
The same is true for the CBT (Cock and Ball Torture) you're doin'. Excessive stretching over many hours, like overnight, is not advised. Extreme stretching, like what you describe, can injure your nuts and damage the delicate tissues in your dick. If you want your family jewels to last, I'd suggest you cut back on the stuff you're doing.
I also suggest that you find someone to dominate you who has your best interest in mind. Remember, BDSM and power play is not abuse.
Good luck

The day before his death on the Cross, Christ instituted the Eucharist in the Upper Room. He also
offered bread and wine, which "in his sacred hands" (Roman Canon) became his Body and his
Blood, offered in sacrifice. Thus he fulfilled the prophecy of the old covenant linked to Melchizedek's
sacrificial offering. For this very reason—the Letter to the Hebrews recalls—"he became the source
of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of
Melchizedek" (5:7-10).

Choice makes nice first impression on Rangers
Outfielder acquired in trade with Oakland goes 2-for-2 in spring opener
SURPRISE, Ariz. - Michael Choice came to bat with J.P. Arencibia on first and nobody out in the second inning. With the count 1-and-1, Arencibia broke on the pitch and Choice smashed a shot up the middle for a single off of veteran pitcher Bruce Chen.
Arencibia went to third on the play and eventually scored on a single by Adam Rosales. Choice came up again in the third inning and reached on an infield hit with a hard line drive that third baseman Mike Moustakas couldn't handle.
That's how the Cactus League began for Choice on Thursday afternoon at Surprise Stadium. Playing right field in place of Alex Rios, Choice went 2-for-2 before calling it a day with the rest of the starting lineup in the Rangers' 11-7 victory over the Royals.
Choice is only getting started in the desert. He is expected to get as much playing time as possible during the Cactus League so the Rangers can assess exactly what they received in a four-player trade with the Athletics on Dec. 3.
"That's good," Choice said. "It gives me a better chance to show what I can do."
This is not about whether Choice can win a job as the fourth outfielder over left-handed hitters Jim Adduci and Engel Beltre, or if he can be the right-handed bat to complement Mitch Moreland at designated hitter. This is also not about whether Choice can play well enough in center field to light a fire under Leonys Martin.
The Rangers already know Choice's right-handed bat could play a vital role on a team with a starting lineup that includes left-handed bats Shin-Soo Choo, Prince Fielder, Martin and Moreland. Fielder is the only one of those four with a lifetime batting average higher than .243 against left-handed pitchers, a right-handed hitting outfielder who can punish lefties is a must for the Rangers' bench.
This spring is really about whether Choice can begin to show he can be a future everyday outfielder and significant run producer in the middle of the order. The Rangers are looking for more than just a role player from a guy who was acquired from the Athletics along with infielder Chris Bostick for outfielder Craig Gentry and pitcher Josh Lindblom on Dec. 3.
"He's a guy who can handle the bat," manager Ron Washington said. "Right now I just want him to do the things I ask him to do. If I want to put the hit-and-run on, I think he can handle it. He does have power but he can also do a lot of things with the bat."
The trade caught many by surprise, especially in Oakland where Choice appeared on the verge of breaking into the Athletics' starting lineup. Choice, 24, spent last season at Triple-A Sacramento, where he hit .302 with 90 runs scored, 14 home runs, 89 RBI and a .445 slugging percentage. He struck out 115 times, which suggests he still has some holes in his swing. But he also had 69 walks, a .390 on-base percentage and showed the ability to hit with power to the opposite field.
He has average speed and arm but has shown he can play all three outfield positions. That includes center field if the Rangers don't see what they want from Martin this spring or when the regular season starts.
"Obviously the goal is to be on the 25-man roster and help the team in whatever my role is," Choice said. "The time is now. As far as the future, you don't know what's going to happen. When I look back at the trade, I don't think about it much. I'm here now trying to add something to the team."
Choice was the 10th overall pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft out of UT-Arlington. The only player in Rangers camp who was drafted higher is Fielder, who was the seventh overall pick in the 2002 First-Year Player Draft by the Brewers.
"He knows how to play the game, which is big for a young guy," Fielder said. "He plays hard and knows what he's doing. There is no advice to give him. The main thing is he works hard. Any time a young guy has that, it's all you need."
Choice also needs a chance to play. Right now the Rangers have a set outfield with Choo in left, Martin in center and Rios in right, plus Moreland at designated hitter. There appears to be no room for Choice in Washington's lineup.
The Rangers don't expect that to be the case in the future. This spring will tell much and a 2-for-2 day in the first game is a good start.

(MONTGOMERY) - Attorney General Luther Strange said today's ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court, affirming that the state's chemical endangerment of a child law does protect unborn children, is a landmark victory. In its decision today, the Court held that "the plain meaning of the word 'child' in the chemical endangerment statute includes unborn children."
"The Court has ratified our argument that the public policy of our state is to protect life, both born and unborn," said Attorney General Strange. "It is a tremendous victory that the Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed the value of all life, including those of unborn children whose lives are among the most vulnerable of all."
The Court upheld the convictions of two women whose use of illegal drugs while they were pregnant caused their unborn children to suffer exposure to those drugs. The Court's ruling was a consolidation of two cases-Ankrom v. State, arising from Coffee County, and Kimbrough v. State, from Colbert County. In both cases, the defendants were charged with chemically endangering their children under an Alabama law that makes it a crime to endanger a child by exposing him or her to a controlled substance, a chemical substance such as precursors for manufacturing drugs, or drug paraphernalia.
Hope Ankrom and her newborn son both tested positive for cocaine when the child was born on January 31, 2000. Medical records documented Ankrom's substance abuse during her pregnancy. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, which was suspended, and placed on probation for one year.
Amanda Helaine Borden Kimbrough's son, T.K., was born premature on April 29, 2008, and he died 19 minutes later after efforts to save him failed. An autopsy determined that his death was caused by "acute methamphetamine intoxication." Kimbrough pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.
Attorney General Strange commended the outstanding work of the his Criminal Appeals Division in handling these cases, noting in particular Assistant Attorneys General Cecil Brendle and Michael Dean.

Students are encouraged to develop inexpensive materials for use with their lesson plans. Each lesson plan includes specific objectives to be met and specifies the Standards of Learning (SOL) which the activity meets. Students share information and materials from their own areas of study, thus widening the scope of all the other students' knowledge and making available to all a wider variety of teaching materials that they can use.
Detailed Description of Conduct of Course
Students do considerable work on their own, in individual sessions with the professor and in small groups with other graduate students, including students who may not be enrolled in the present class. Formal group meetings are conducted at intervals to discuss ideas, share problems, and test certain activities and equipment. A completed set of lesson plans is turned in at the end of the course, copied, and shared with the other members of the class.

Assessment Measures
Assessment in this class is an ongoing process. The instructor assesses a student's progress through personal observation in individual conferences and in group situations. In addition, the materials turned in by each student at the end of the class will be assessed.
Assessment will be based on the depth and quality of the student's understanding of the science topic studied, and the depth and quality of the student's understanding of the philosophical and psychological bases for various instructional models. Lesson plans will be assessed on the basis of grade level appropriateness, the quality of the work, the correspondence between activities, stated objectives and SOLs, and how effectively the student has incorporated activities that encourage higher order cognitive activity.

by misac » Sat Apr 27, 2013 11:01 am
Yeah, I was really looking forward to seeing him too.
by misac » Sat Apr 27, 2013 11:03 amSmackdown was kind of a let down. Undertaker vs Ambrose and Swagger vs Del Rio were good but Regal vs Barrett was a real throwaway match. Wish they hadn't even bothered.
Instead they had Sheamus vs Big Show for the 100th time.
by GLX » Sat Apr 27, 2013 4:36 pm
The Layla/Aksana wasn't really worth checking out, either. Gotta agree that the Regal match should've been longer.
by Stephen Day » Sat Apr 27, 2013 6:46 pm
It sucks that he had the knee injury. Well, at least I'm still going to be able to see Taiji Ishimori live, something I haven't been able to claim before.
by Punchy » Sun Apr 28, 2013 8:33 amSmackdown was a load of rubbish book-ended by two great matches.
The opener, between Swagger and Del Rio was a lot of fun, I'm enjoying this feud and making this a no disqualification match was a good escalation. It was brutal and as I've said before, the way these two reverse each other's submissions is really great. I do find it odd that Dolph Ziggler was nowhere to be seen here, but hey. I would also have liked to see Colter and Swagger do a promo attacking the UK audience, saying heelish stuff like America saved your ass in WW2 or bringing up the Revolutionary War. A feud that's all about America loses something when it's being played out in Europe, so they should have brought some more heat that way.
Layla/Aksana was a typical pointless women's match, but it was good to see Layla get a home-country win.
Fandango beat Justin Gabriel, which was actually an OK match now that I think about it, Fandango's top-rope leg-drops continue to be awesome.
Sheamus/Big Show is a match I never really want to see again, it's happened so many times it's boring. Both guys are a great in the ring, but they need to fight some different people. I did like Mark Henry's interference.
Wade Barrett Vs William Regal was a missed opportunity, it was way too short, it should have been a lot longer and given Regal a chance to get some offence in. But I did like Barrett's insulting of Regal, and it's good to see him win.
Orton/Henry... meh.
The Undertaker Vs Dean Ambrose was excellent, I am very impressed with Ambrose as a single's guy, he just looks crazy. And even though he lost, The Shield really won the day as they took out Undertaker and did their power-bomb through the table thang (and Roman Reigns did his best Spear ever thang). That was an amazing moment, it really got across how bad-ass The Shield were, more so even than when they've beaten down Cena or Ryback or The Rock or Kane or anyone. They took out The Undertaker FFS! I believe.

If he ruptured the tendon, that could keep him out until possibly the Royal Rumble next year. Would love to see a tournament for the belt on the next PPV after Extreme Rules.
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sun Apr 28, 2013 12:15 pmSome reports say its a possible achilles tendon injury. If thats so he could be out for a very long time. Really could change the landscape of the WWE title picture. Ceratainly dont want to see Ryback win it right now unless he is just gonna be a transitional champ. Dont know how many options they have right now. Punk is healing up, Y2J a part timer, who else?
by Grayson » Sun Apr 28, 2013 12:19 pm
Ugh, as much as I hate the idea of putting the title on Ryback, you could put the title on him for the summer. Have him dominate a couple of guys at the next few PPV's and then bring back a face Punk to definitively beat Ryback and take the title at Summerslam. That is assuming that Cena will be taking any time off for his injury.
by syxxpakk » Sun Apr 28, 2013 12:38 pmIt's going to be quite enjoyable to read the Extreme Rules posts when Cena overcomes all the odds, including this injury, to retain his title.
by Lord Simian » Sun Apr 28, 2013 12:55 pm
1) The injury is a work, designed for an angle tomorrow night.
2) If it's a legitimate injury, then they will obviously set up a triple threat match between Cena, Ryback, and the injury, and Cena will pin Ryback AND the injury at the same time to retain.

Wayland phone numbers changed
Phone numbers for Wayland Baptist University's Plainview campus have been changed in order to update phone technology.
According to Virgil Hart, associate director of information services, the campus' phone switch was replaced in the summer of 2001 in order to streamline numbering and bring the campus in line with 9-1-1 requirements.
Prior to the changes, the campus' numbers were under two different prefixes due to expansion made over the years. But with more expansion needed, Hart said the old switch would not support the changes.
"We needed more numbers than before, because of the new girls' dorm. Our numbering had also been very fragmented before," Hart said. "So we made the decision to get all new numbers and put them all in a logical order."
The new switch also allows the university to provide "real numbers" to 9-1-1, meaning that if an emergency call is placed from campus, the exact location on campus is known, rather than simply the main campus address. This means students and staff will be safer, because emergency personnel will be able to locate a situation without guesswork. The switch also enabled the university to use newer phone technology with features like voice mail.
Hart said the university paid for a service that actually forwards the old number to the corresponding new number for about eight months, until the new city phone directories were distributed. Now, only a few key office numbers will bear the recording informing callers of the new number, and that service will only last for a few more months.
The new numbers for key offices on campus are as follows: Main switchboard, 291-1000; President, Dr. Paul Armes, 291-3515; Chancellor, Dr. Wallace Davis, 291-3400; Alumni services, 291-3600; Registrar's office, 291-3470; Admissions, 291-3500; Financial Aid, 291-3520; Athletics, 291-1155; University Store, 291-3615; and Public Relations, 291-3585. All other numbers should be included in the new directories.

Agricultural journalists have long anguished over our failure to defend agriculture to people not in agriculture. We're preaching to the choir, we are told — our good message is hardly news to an already enlightened flock of farmers.
So imagine my surprise the other day when I got a call from a reporter at Forbes magazine wanting to interview me about an article I had written in Delta Farm Press in which I addressed myths being perpetuated about conventional cotton. I wrote that Wal-Mart's claim that its sale of 200,000 organic cotton outfits had saved two jumbo jets full of pesticide from being applied to the soil was pure malarkey — it was off by a factor of 500.
The Forbes reporter said she found my article in a Web search on the Internet, probably using the search engine Google. A search engine, for those who have not been out of a tractor cab for the last 10 years, has a search bar in which key words are entered, and if there is anything on the World Wide Web that has anything to do with what you wrote in the bar, it comes up scary fast.
I went to Google myself this morning, entered "organic cotton myths" in the search bar, hit enter and lo and behold, the first article to appear was the one the Forbes reporter had referred to.
The Forbes article "Hard Sell for a Soft Fabric," appeared in the Oct. 13 issue and was about the questionable marketing tactics used to promote organic cotton. The article referred to a marketing association called the Organic Exchange which has been busy conjuring up some nasty images about conventional cotton, including one that implies that buying organic clothes will prevent thousands of Indian cotton farmers from committing suicide over the high cost of pesticides.
The Forbes article also referred to a Web site for Gaiam, which markets organic cotton, which said many Indian cotton farmers had spent $70 to $115 a year on pesticides, over 25 percent of their annual income, before shifting to organic methods.
Something here doesn't quite seem to add up, and this begs a very important question not asked by the Forbes reporter, "Are the staff of organic marketing associations inherently deficient in math?"
Seriously though, it would seem at first glance that Indian farmers don't appear to make a whole lot of money, $280 to $460 a year, if indeed the $70 to $115 they spend on pesticides constitutes a quarter of their annual income. Heck, no wonder they're depressed. In the good ol' USA, that will barely buy you a bag of seed.
Another more likely explanation for the low income could be that Indian farmers are only farming a couple of acres of cotton. If so, why the heck were they spraying pesticides on it in the first place. Organic is probably the most cost-efficient system for them. Heck, with 2 to 3 acres and a big family, you could probably hand-pick worms off the crop.
On the other hand, the $70 to $115 figure referred to might actually be a per acre figure reported as a whole-farm figure. Who knows?
Truth be known, over the past few years, more than a million Indian cotton farmers have converted not to organic farming but to Bt cotton, and have subsequently lowered the number of pesticide applications they make and the total pesticide applied. At the same time, they've increased yield and income significantly.
I'm told their mental health has changed from down in the dumps to downright chipper.
The outside world and the consumer press may not understand agricultural economics, its cultural practices and biotechnology well enough to drill deep into claims made by the most radical of these organic marketing groups. But the Google nation puts those claims out there for everyone to see, and fortunately, to dispute.

Hoping someone can give a beginner some guidance..
160# Beginner from Folsom on 144cm twintip
Been kiting exclusively at Sherman
Hope do more locally this fall
I have bought (1) kite, a 12M 2010 Switchblade, with the plan of adding a 2nd. And hopefully stick to having only (2) kites for the next year or two (pending the level of addiction
Question: Should i buy an 8M or a 9M Switchblade as the 2nd kite?
I have been told:
1. I should stick w/ same kite model
2. Year model doesn't matter much (2010 or newer)
3. the second kite decision is pretty kite specific and someone who rides switchblades would be best able to advise.
Thanks for any guidance!

Did Universal Music Try To Expense The Costs Of Eminem's Producers Suing Over Unpaid Royalties... Back To Eminem's Producers?
from the and-again-and-again dept
While Universal Music insisted that its deal with Eminem was unique and such a ruling wouldn't apply to most other artists, plenty of other artists have been suing their labels (like Kenny Rogers above), and estimates of upwards of $2 billion in back royalties that the labels may have to pay out.
The Eminem case is back at the district court as they try to sort out just how much FBT is owed, and Eriq Gardner, over at THResq, got his hands on one of the audit reports put together by an expert for FBT. It only shows a limited range of years (July 2005 to December 31, 2009), but also shows (similar to the Rogers lawsuit) how the report turns up all sorts of other areas where Universal likely underpaid FBT.
However, the most insane thing here may be the line at the bottom, in which it appears that Universal held back $2 million in a "legal hold." Gardner notes that this is money held back to pay for this very lawsuit. This is classic record label economics. Everything that you do that costs money, they charge against the artists' royalties. Order pizza at the recording studio? They charge that against your (small) cut of the royalties. Want to do extra promotions? Charge it against the royalties.
And... apparently, sue Universal music for withholding millions in royalties? It looks like they'll charge that against your royalties too...

Wander dusty dirt roads lined with sycamore and oak trees and amble across creaky suspension bridges. Navigate narrow passages amid secret mined caves and uncover an age-old fort. Along the way, follow in the pioneering footsteps of the frontier's early settlers, during an era when Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer reflected an America coming into its own.
Pick Your Path
You'll find adventure aplenty around every corner of Tom Sawyer Island. During your tour, be on the lookout for some of these legendary sites:
Along the way, easy-to-read maps ensure you always know where you are during your island adventure.
The original Tom Sawyer Island opened to the public at Disneyland Resort in 1956. The attraction has the distinction of being the only one designed by Walt Disney.
Sharing a strong affinity for the world Mark Twain created in his novels, Walt found himself unsatisfied with the island's original design. Days before construction was set to begin, he took the plans home and re-imagined the landscape design, creating the inlets, coves and overall shape that the island is known for today.
Today, in addition to Walt Disney World Resort, a version of this beloved attraction exists at Disneyland Resort and Tokyo Disneyland.

It's one thing to review a spreadsheet of how many hours your servers have been running this month. It's another entirely to see that a certain percentage has been idle and another percentage could be running as Reserved instances--a cheaper alternative to on-demand instances--and what savings might result. Newvem claims to bring this automated pricing intelligence to cloud monitoring.
The Managerial View service becomes available online today as a free Web portal where a CIO or IT manager can log in and obtain detailed analytics on current and historical usage of Amazon Web Services. The snapshot summarizes and analyzes trends that let managers make decisions on what they want to do next in the cloud. A beta version of the analytical system was released in January for developers and system operators using the cloud.
The manager's version will soon become available as an iOS iPhone application, allowing IT managers to be mobile and still maintain a managerial hand over their cloud workloads, said Zev Laderman, Newvem chairman and CEO. An announcement of that version will come as soon as Newvem can get its beta version approved by Apple for the AppStore, he said, in an interview at InformationWeek offices in San Francisco. One cause of the delay is that there have been no reviews published of the app for Apple to evaluate.
"It's not a consumer app. They're still trying to figure out what it does," said Laderman.
[Can Newvem help answer a persistent question about cloud computing? See Cloud's Thorniest Question: Will It Pay Off?]
The Managerial View offers a summary of a company's current cloud bill (for AWS only), with a projection at current usage for what it will be by the end of the month. It can identify abnormal behavior in the use of EC2 and other services, such as unusually heavy movement of data resulting in excess charges.
The system recommends possible corrective actions when it spots idle servers and servers used on a predictable basis--candidates for Reserved instances, which cost 30 to 35% less than on-demand servers at Amazon. Amazon also has a pricing scheme that lets customers bid for server time at a particular price; Amazon will accept the bid if it has servers idle with no work available at a higher price.
AWS servers also come with a varied amount of memory, CPU and storage, and Managerial View can help rationalize which type a particular workload should be running on. Microsoft Azure cloud spokespeople occasionally mock the complex Amazon pricing structure, which varies slightly from one Amazon site to another, such as AWS U.S. East vs. AWS U.S. West. But that may mean there's a ready market for analytics that can simplify and take advantage of the many pricing schemes. A new InformationWeek buyer's guide on IaaS provides pricing details on CPU, storage and other services from 10 providers, including Amazon.
Newvem can collect extensive operational data through the customer's read-only reporting service from Amazon, then analyze what the data tells it about operations over an extended time period.
"We analyze the usage pattern and how to use services more efficiently. When it comes to storage, which objects are you calling on infrequently? Perhaps they could be pushed to S3 [long-term storage]. That would degrade their availability but lower the monthly bill," said Laderman.
Newvem is an Israeli startup company, but its name is a play on the Portuguese word "nuvem", which loosely translates as "new way." Zev Laderman explains that his co-founder, Ilan Naslavsky, is Brazilian. He says they had to go with a spelling that wasn't already claimed.
Laderman previously built Aduva into a company that was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2006. Aduva used "a rules engine that could tell you which open source components to use with Linux or Solaris," Laderman said. After the sale, Laderman realized the rules engine approach could address many other issues in the data center.
When he looked at how companies used Amazon Web Services' EC2, he realized there was plenty of work to be done in constructing rules and analytics to guide cloud usage, a realization "that sent him back to work in the garage," joined by CTO Naslavsky, a former Aduva associate.
Newvem has received $4 million in backing from Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors, Greylock Partners and Index Ventures.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Despite a 13-6 run by
MIT during the final three minutes of regulation, host Clark
University held on a for 51-46 victory in a NEWMAC women's
basketball game on Wednesday night. Aparna Sud led the Engineers
(2-9, 0-5 NEWMAC) with 14 points, including 11 during the late
Anna Merrifield notched eight points and four rebounds as Lauren Sascha Burton tallied nine assists, seven points, and no turnovers in 36 minutes of action. Stephanie Cooke grabbed a team-high six rebounds to go along with five points and two steals coming off the bench. Kristen Whaley chipped in five boards and a game-high three steals for the Cardinal and Gray. As a team, MIT committed a season-low nine turnovers, which is just two more than the Institute record.
Jill Camilleri led the Cougars (3-8, 2-3 NEWMAC) with 19 points, 13 rebounds, and four blocks. Kate Minister posted eight boards, five points, and four assists while Kelsey Johnston contributed eight points.
The first half was closely played as a three-pointer by Lauren Simmons evened the contest at eight and a trey from Burton tied the game at 15 with 5:51 left in the frame. A lay-up on its next possession ended Clark's four-minute scoring drought and sparked an 11-0 run that resulted in a 26-15 advantage at the intermission.
The Cougars opened the second stanza with a lay-up for their largest lead of the game. MIT countered with six straight points which narrowed the gap to seven (28-21) after three minutes elapsed. Clark inched out to another 13-point advantage midway through the frame, but the Engineers whittled it down to seven (40-33) courtesy of a three-point play by Cooke at the 7:25 mark. The Cougars' margin slowly returned to double-digits as a Minister basket put them up, 45-33, with 3:57 on the clock.
Merrifield's jumper on the Engineers' next trip down the court sparked their late rally. Sud followed with a three-pointer and a steal by Cooke set up a trey for Sud. Clark converted a lay-up which prompted a timeout by MIT. Coming out of the break, Sud drained another three-pointer which trimmed the deficit to three (47-44) with 1:20 on the clock.
The Cougars called a timeout 10 seconds later and maintained possession as the Engineers used a pair of fouls to stop the clock. A Clark offensive foul gave MIT the ball with 43 seconds remaining in regulation. A three-point try by Sud was off the mark and the ensuing rebound was snagged by Camilleri with 22 seconds left to play. Sally Simpson immediately fouled her, which put the Cougars in the bonus. At the same time, Clark was assessed a technical foul. Sud drained both of her shots at the charity stripe but Camilleri converted both ends of a one-and-one to maintain the three-point edge (49-46). MIT couldn't connect on its next trip down the court as a foul sent Camilleri to the line where she closed the scoring with a pair of free throws.

During Keeneland's 15-day spring season that runs through Friday, April 24, the track is offering $3.8 million in purses for 17 stakes races in one of the richest stakes programs in North America. Post time for the first race each day is 1:05 p.m. (ET). Keeneland will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and on Easter Sunday, April 12.
The first half of the Keeneland meeting will include four Grade 1 stakes. In addition to the Toyota Blue Grass, those races are the $400,000 Ashland for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles on April 4; the $300,000 Vinery Madison for fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up, at seven furlongs on April 9; and the $300,000 Maker's Mark Mile for 4-year-olds and up at one mile on turf on April 10.
The Ashland, the filly counterpart to the Toyota Blue Grass, will be run for the 72nd year. The race is an important steppingstone to the Kentucky Oaks (G1), which is run the day before the Kentucky Derby.
The Vinery Madison is making its debut as a Grade 1 race after being promoted from Grade 2 status. With the upgrade, Keeneland now runs a total of 10 Grade 1 races during its spring and fall racing seasons.
On April 18, espn2 will have live coverage of the $300,000 Coolmore Lexington (G2) from 5-6 p.m. The Coolmore Lexington at 1 1/16 miles also is for 3-year-olds.
Keeneland is renowned for quality racing, and the track has been recognized for giving horseplayers the most money for their wagering dollars. Earlier this year, the Horseplayers Association of North America (HANA), a grassroots, not-for-profit group of more than 500 horseplayers with a combined annual handle of approximately $30 million, ranked Keeneland first among 65 of the continent's top racetracks in its inaugural Track Rating System.
This spring, horseplayers will continue to find plenty of action at Keeneland with the debut of rolling daily doubles, beginning with the first race and continuing through the day's card. On April 10, the track will offer the Maker's Mark Mile-Toyota Blue Grass Double, requiring players to pick the winners of both Grade 1 races. Keeneland will offer a $200,000-guaranteed all-stakes Pick 4 on Toyota Blue Grass Day, covering the Jenny Wiley (G2), Shakertown (G3), Commonwealth (G2) and Toyota Blue Grass.
Keeneland also is a leader in employing innovative technology to enhance the fan experience, such as Trakus race video and a PolyCapping database—both available at Keeneland.com. PolyCapping provides handicappers with detailed information on every horse that has won a race at Keeneland on the Polytrack main track or on the turf course since October 2006.
Last fall, Keeneland became North America's first high-definition racetrack when it began to provide live race coverage and limited simulcasts in high-definition format. HD broadcasts of Keeneland will be available via on-track television monitors, infield LED tote board and certain HC-compatible telecasts, such as those produced by ESPN.
As always, fans can watch Keeneland's races live on the track's website at no charge.
Meanwhile, special events will be held on nearly every day of the Keeneland season. Opening day is College Scholarship Day, which will award ten $1,000 scholarships after each race.
Breakfast With the Works, popular with families, will be held every Saturday morning. The event will begin at 7 a.m. with trackside commentary about how horses prepare for a race and aspects of Keeneland and Thoroughbred racing. Those in attendance might see a superstar or a Derby hopeful training on the racetrack. Southern-style buffet breakfast and free children's activities are available. Breakfast With the Works continues with a free paddock demonstration at 8:45 a.m.
Each Saturday, jockeys and special guests also will participate in "Meet and Greet" events after the noon playing of the national anthem, giving fans an opportunity to mingle with their favorites for some 20 to 30 minutes.
From April 8-15, Keeneland will offer the Budweiser Clydesdales Sweepstakes to enable fans to enter to win a trip to receive a personalized photo session with the Budweiser Clydesdales at Keeneland, lunch at the track's Equestrian Room, and a trip to St. Louis to tour the Anheuser-Busch brewery. The Budweiser Clydesdales will be at Keeneland on April 17-18 and will perform on the track on April 18.
On April 10, University of Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks will participate in a signing of 2009 commemorative Maker's Mark bottles. The bottles will go on sale on Friday, April 3, at liquor retailers throughout Kentucky. The first 1,200 people in line at Keeneland will be guaranteed to have their bottles signed.
On April 17, Keeneland jockeys will participate in the Jockey Colony Autograph Signing, which will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. That evening, a karaoke-style competition called Riders Up! will be held at the Keeneland Entertainment Center to benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. Tickets are available for Riders Up! at http://www.jockeysguild.com/
Other special events include Police and Firefighters Day on April 5; Military Appreciation Day Presented by Windstream on April 19; and United Way Day on April 22.
