New AAJ Report Highlights Problem with Unsafe Medical Products and Lack of Accountability for Manufacturers
Analysis of Past Hazardous Women's Products Released for National Women's Health Week
Washington, DC—Michelle Garcia (Miami, FL) never thought a simple doctor's office procedure for birth control would result in the removal of both of her fallopian tubes. Yet last year Michelle underwent surgery to remove Essure, a medical device marketed as a "surgery-free permanent" birth control procedure. It was supposed to be Michelle'seasy solution for birth control for life; instead, it was her worst nightmare. One of Michelle's coils* broke and pierced her abdomen, requiring surgery to remove the coil and both damaged fallopian tubes.
Women suffer disproportionately from faulty drugs and medical devices, and Michelle is just one example. As part of National Women's Health Week, the American Association for Justice (AAJ) has released "Unequal Harm: The Disproportionate Damage to Women from Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices," an analysis detailing a history of a few of the many products that have harmed women over the years.
Because of a Supreme Court ruling (Riegel v. Medtronic), Michelle will never be able to recover any medical expenses for her surgery from the manufacturer of Essure, even though the product was defective and became a hazard to her health.
"For decades women have suffered enormously from unsafe medical products," said AAJ President Mary Alice McLarty of AAJ's new report. "Essure could turn out to be another example of a medical manufacturer putting profits ahead of women's health. Unfortunately, because the manufacturer is shielded from litigation, we will never learn the truth about what the company knows about the safety and effectiveness of their product," added McLarty.
The report examines dangerous and defective products from the past several decades, from the Dalkon Shield in the 1970s, to the intrauterine device (IUD) Cooper-7 in the 1980s, vaginal mesh in the 1990s, and Prempro and other hormone replacement therapies in the 2000s. Most recently, DePuy metal-on-metal hips have proven to not only release metallic debris into the body, but have a 29 percent higher risk of failure in women than men, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The makers of Essure are shielded from litigation because the Supreme Court ruled in Riegel v. Medtronic (2008) that medical devices that have gone through the FDA's premarket approval process (PMA) cannot be held responsible for injuries, even when the device is defective or has been recalled.
"Lawsuits serve as a valuable tool to uncover undisclosed or unknown risks and provide an incentive for manufacturers to promptly disclose safety risks," added McLarty. "Unfortunately, Essure's maker has a 'get-out-of-jail-free' pass from the Supreme Court's Riegel decision."
*Essure is a coil inserted in each fallopian tube that is supposed to create a "natural barrier," or scar tissue in the tube to prevent pregnancy by blocking the tube. In Michelle's case, one coil broke and migrated to her abdomen, where it could have pierced a vital organ. Other women have reported getting pregnant, coils piercing organs, coils migrating to other parts of the body, and having complete hysterectomies because of complications from Essure birth control.
See "Unequal Harm: The Disproportionate Damage to Women from Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices, for more information about dangerous women's products and the role lawsuits played in product safety.

Steve Inskeep talks to local NBC reporter Jeremy Jojola about Friday's shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colo. To be on the safe side, neighbors were evacuated from the area near the suspect's apartment.

Authorities in Aurora, Colo., say a gunman wearing a gas mask set off an unknown gas and fired into the crowded movie theater. Police are searching the suspects apartment.
A gunman wearing a gas mask set off an unknown gas and fired into a crowded movie theater in suburban Denver at a midnight opening of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises." At least 12 people were killed.
Let's try to get a little more insight now from Howard Pankratz. He's a veteran reporter with the Denver Post newspaper. He's been talking with law enforcement officials and he has a special insight on this because he covered another mass shooting, the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. Mr. Pankratz, welcome to the program.
HOWARD PANKRATZ: Thank you very much.
Eight hours ago, a gunman burst into a packed movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, tossed in a can of tear gas, and then opened fire. Those in the audience had lined up hours in advance to get seats for the world premier of the Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." Many were dressed festively, in costume, but the movie and the evening ended in horror.
At least 12 people were killed in Aurora, Colo., when a gunman walked into a theater showing the new Batman movie. One witness saw an explosion at the bottom of the theater near the screen.
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with news of a gradual escape. More than 2,000 turtles were in captivity at a northwest Georgia farm. The owner sells them as pets, or to the Chinese market. Turtles are not known for their speed, but somehow 1,600 of them got away. The farmer suspects vandals tore down the fences around his farm. Turtles known as snappers, eastern paints and yellow belly sliders made their way to nearby waterways and freedom - slowly. It's MORNING EDITION.

JACKSON, Miss. — The U.S. Attorney's office has asked a federal judge to deny State Auditor Stacey Pickering's request to authorize the release of Mississippi Department of Marine Resources records that are being sought by a Gulf Coast newspaper.
Gulf Publishing and the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss., have been fighting Pickering for the records, and Harrison County Chancery Judge Jennifer Schloegel recently sided with the newspaper. But the documents are now in the possession of a federal grand jury, which has been investigating alleged corruption at MDMR.
Pickering asked the federal court on Dec. 5 for the records to be released in response to Schloegel's rulings that the documents are public records.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Rushing in Jackson argued in a court filing Wednesday that the records should not be released to the newspaper for publication at this time.
MDMR's former director, his son, and two former agency employees were indicted Nov. 5 on federal corruption charges related to the use of the agency's money, but Rushing said the investigation continues.
"Releasing these records at this time, and for the purposes set forth in the petition, would defeat the purpose of the secrecy of the grand jury," Rushing wrote.
In response to Rushing's argument, an attorney for Pickering said in a court filing Wednesday that the auditor wants to be "placed in a position to comply with the orders of the Harrison County Chancery Court."
Schloegel first ruled that the documents were public records in October. The U.S. Attorney's office for south Mississippi subpoenaed the records Nov. 4, around the same time Schloegel ordered they be delivered to the chancery court, according to court records.
Pickering said in court documents that he couldn't comply with both orders and gave the records to the federal grand jury.
The Sun Herald continued to challenge Pickering for the records, and Schloegel said again in early December that they should be handed over. That's when Pickering asked the federal court to authorize their release.
The documents are contained in about 60 boxes, according to Rushing's court filing.

Bronxville 16-year-old Patrick Conaton isn't heading to London this summer for the Olympics, but he's still pleased with his performance at this past weekend's Olympic Trials in Ohama, Neb.
"Going to the meet, I didn't really know what to expect. I've never been to a meet of that caliber," he said. "It was a great experience. Overall, I think it went really well. My swims weren't my best times, but the experience overall was great, and it's something I can learn from and use to get better."
Conaton swam in the 200 meter backstroke, finishing 88th out of the 100-plus swimmers. He finished the race in 2:06.73. The first round of his race, and the finals the next night, were won by Ryan Lochte, one of America's top swimmers. Lochte qualified for four individual events at the Olympics.
Heading into his junior year at Fordham Prep, Conaton feels like the taste of big meet experience he received at the trials will keep him working hard.
"Seeing all those guys posting all those fast times, and they're all jacked and buff, it definitely inspires me to get to that level," he said. "If I keep working hard and improving, I can definitely see myself getting there in four years. It's inspiring, it keeps me going."
Later this summer, Conaton will compete in either the the U.S. Open of Junior Nationals, and in the winter he hops to compete in states and winter nationals. Thanks to his trip to the trials, Conaton now has a feel for big meets and said he should feel comfortable at any of those. This past weekend, he wasn't totally comfortable at first in that sized meet.
"I was nervous," he said. "There were like 10,000 people, so that's like 10,000 more than I'm used to."
New Rochelle Teen Misses Out On Olympic Bid
Emily Escobedo also won't be heading to London this summer, as the 16-year-old from New Rochelle competed in the 200 meter breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic Trials this past weekend in Omaha.
Her time of 2:36.07 placed her 58th out of 120-plus.
Escobedo will be a senior in the fall at Maria Regina High School in Hartsdale.

The summer months can cause all sorts of hair issues. From constant frizz to curls dropping at a moments notice; it's often hit and miss when it comes to our hair. On the upside, summer brings with it an array of gorgeous hairstyles for you to consider for your wedding. Summertime equates to carefree and loose hairstyles; so we've found 10 looks to save you from worrying about having a bad-summer-hair-day.
1. Flower Clip
Pin a small flower into your hair if you're wearing it down. This works especially well if you have a side part, and the flowers can help to keep any loose strands from flying into your face.
2. Cascading Floral Braid
Blush pink is a popular wedding color choice these days, but if you prefer your pink to pack a little more punch, might we suggest Raspberry instead? Bright and bold, Raspberry pink is what we like to call "pretty with attitude". It's a super fun color, perfectly suited to the festive celebration that is your wedding day.
If you love bright pops of color, this color palette is for you! Like a ray of sunshine on your wedding day, it's guaranteed to make you smile all day long.
Purple is a hot color this year and pairs well with Raspberry pink for a dramatic jewel-toned color scheme.
We love pairing pink and red together; it's a bold choice, and while it's not for everyone, it is oh so chic!
This one is similar to the last color palette, but the addition of black and gold gives this color scheme a sophisticated Kate Spade feel.
This almost neon color palette is slightly more muted and sophisticated than a full-on fluorescent pink and yellow combo, while still being super hip and on-trend.

When you think of Las Vegas, chances are that sophisticated and intimate aren't exactly the first adjectives that come to mind, but that's exactly what TJ and Shannon wanted for their destination wedding in Sin City. Avoiding all the noise, flashing lights, and kitsch Las Vegas has to offer, the couple wed outdoors in the Venus Garden at Ceasar's Palace followed by an intimate reception at the Barrymore; successfully capturing for their wedding day some vintage Vegas charm without any of the cheesiness!
A huge thanks to Mike Olbinski for sending over the photos so we could share them with you today!
Shannon, 29 & Thomas, 31
Las Vegas, NV
Wedding Date: February 22, 2014
Number of Guests: 53
Wedding Cost: Around $15,000
Wedding Ceremony Location: Caesars Palace, Venus Garden
Wedding Reception Location: The Barrymore
Why did you have an intimate wedding?
It was hard to have an intimate wedding in Las Vegas. When TJ asked me to marry him, I actually wanted to go to the Milwaukee Courthouse – no sparkles, no frills, just make it official. It didn't take him long to convince me to do the next best thing and go to Las Vegas. When I think of Vegas, I think of cheesy parties, air conditioning, smokey casinos, blinking lights, dinging machines; those weddings are for some, but not us. So, we decided to have our ceremony in the Venus Garden at Caesars Palace so we could be outdoors. Our reception dinner was held at The Barrymore. It was exactly what we were looking for; it was intimate, cozy and has the vintage feel of Las Vegas without the cheese-factor. It was perfect.
What are some the challenges that you faced planning an intimate wedding?
Once we decided on a destination wedding, we knew it would pose difficulties for some guests. Traveling in/out of Milwaukee in the winter is a hit or miss on weather delays. That, in fact, came up with my brother who was delayed due to wind. He and his girlfriend arrived within a few hours of the ceremony. Besides that, planning the wedding was relatively painless! Both Caesars Palace and the Barrymore are both so beautiful, we didn't need to bring in any other decorations to make our day special!
Was it difficult to pare down the guest list?
Not at all. We knew the people who we love would make it there. And they did.
Did you have any 'issues' with the small guest list from friends and family? If so, how did you address them?
TJ's family is much bigger than mine so the scale was heavily weighed on one side. That didn't pose any difficulties or issues though.
What were the highlights of the ceremony?
Shannon: Even though our ceremony started at 4:30PM, we decided to not do a first-look. Seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle was very memorable and very emotional. The actual aisle was rather short so when we got to the base, my dad whispered "let's stop" to me. I'm thankful he suggested it. When I looked up, I saw TJ looking at me, and all of our family and best friends who traveled so far to celebrate with us. It also gave me a few seconds to compose myself and stop crying.
TJ: Of course, seeing Shannon walk down the aisle is something I'll never forget.
What were the highlights of the reception?
Shannon: The food! The food was so good!
TJ: My grandmother's toast. It was important that my 98-year old grandma be there and she delivered a wonderful toast to us. Unrelated: she also played penny slots the whole trip and won a few bucks!
What was the best thing about having an intimate wedding?
Having the destination wedding, we didn't feel the need to invite long-lost cousins or my mom's running buddy. We knew our families would be there and invited our closest and best friends. We knew everyone was there to celebrate and support us.
What advice do you have for couples who are considering an intimate wedding?
Do it! Some brides like to plan, plan, plan and that's awesome! We wanted simple and that's how we kept it. We knew the day was about us and our love for each other. It wasn't about the centerpieces, the flowers, the fireworks… it was about celebrating with our loved ones.

This is the Save the Earth Wallpaper, the first work of my Save the Earth collection.
My project is committed to raising public environmental consciousness. There are obviously several organization doing this by supporting scientific research and educational programs, you may have a look at the Save the Earth Foundation's website for example to find out more.
The Save the Earth wallpaper is simple, the light blue background fits very good if you have many icons on the desktop and I think the contrast brown / light blue is really perfect. For the "Do you think it's forever?" text I used the Ravie font. For the "Save the Earth" logo I used a custom font imported in Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Here is a little preview of the wallpaper. Download it from the links below.
Here are the resolutions available:
Comments are welcome! I hope you like it!
Remember.. it's never too late!

Bottom Hunting: The New Economic Pastime
Some guesses about when the economy will hit its low point--and start to rebound
We used to seek deals, steals, and undiscovered treasures. Forget all that. Nowadays, all anybody wants to know is, where's the bottom?
The stock market, the housing market, the job market – all have been getting unremittingly worse. We're not used to this. A little downhill slide is one thing, but the great American economy has always had more ups than downs.
This ride, however, seems to be getting steeper and darker every week, starting with all those four- and five-figure layoff announcements. For months, Caterpillar, the huge tractor builder, had bucked the economic slump, thanks to a weak dollar that helped boost exports of its earth-moving equipment. That silver lining has turned gray, and Cat now says it will lay off a staggering 20,000 workers.
[See why there's nothing new about this recession.]
Dozens of other struggling firms are working through their own layoffs: 8,000 at Spring Nextel, 7,000 at Home Depot, 3,400 at Texas Instruments. Even stalwarts like Intel and Microsoft are axing thousands of jobs.
Those layoffs - and more coming - will darken the entire year: With fewer people working, most other aspects of the economy can only get worse. The obvious upshot is that 2009 is going to be one lousy year.
If there's any good news, however, it's that we may finally be sinking deep enough into the economic trough that the elusive bottom – the point at which the plunge in employment, house prices, and the national mood begins to subside – may be coming into view. A breakdown, by some of the economy's key measures:
Unemployment. When to look for the bottom: Late this year or early next year. Forecasts for the unemployment rate – which is 7.2 percent now – range from a low of about 8 percent to a high of about 10 percent in 2009. That's a pretty wide range. But the forecasts are fairly consistent in terms of when they peak: Late in 2009 or early in 2010.
[See why more failure might be healthy in 2009.]
That means it will be a nerve-wracking year for millions of workers, since the economy could still shed 1 to 2 million more jobs before it starts to recover. If you still have your job six months from now, you probably will have survived the worst; a year from now, you'll probably be able to consider your job safe.
Those who lose their jobs, however, are likely to find the going tough. Most economists expect the job market to recover slowly and spordically, with the unemployment rate staying well above 7 percent throughout 2010. Another "jobless recovery" could be in store. That will also diminish workers' ability to move from job to job and to get a raise.
Housing. When to look for the bottom: Late this year. The boom and bust in real estate is what torpedoed the economy in the first place, and the economy won't start to recover until the housing bubble deflates. The good news is that housing prices have already been falling for more than two years. And housing may bottom out before other parts of the economy. Moody's Economy.com predicts that housing prices should stop falling nationwide by the second half of 2009. Overall, the forecasting firm predicts a 30 percent drop in home values from the peak values of 2006.
[See 9 reasons this recession might be good.]
Once it seems clear that house prices have stopped falling, there could be a buying boomlet, as buyers stop worrying that they could be purchasing a costly asset that's still falling in value. But don't expect another housing surge. Consumers will be cautious until jobs seem plentiful and incomes start to rise, which could still be years off.
Consumer confidence. When to look for the bottom: Next year. Consumer confidence closely tracks the job market, since work and income most directly affect whether people fell well-off or not. The dismal numbers of the last few months may creep up throughout 2009, but not significantly. Homeowners have lost more than $3 trillion worth of value in their homes over the last three years, and investors have seen their stock portfolios shredded. Even with modest improvements in the economy, it will take a lot of repair work before Americans in general start to feel better off.
The stock market. When to expect a bottom: Mid-2009. Or 2015. During a recession, the stock markets usually rebound before the broader economy, since companies get more efficient as they shed jobs and cut costs. That pattern may already be playing out, as huge job-cut announcements from companies like Home Depot and Sprint actually boosted the stock price.
But don't bet what's left of your savings on the usual pattern to hold. With the banking system still fragile and corporate losses mounting, predictions of a stock rebound could be off by years. That, in fact, may end up being the usual pattern.

TRAVERSE CITY — Authorities accused two Traverse City sisters of making a $7,000 profit after they conned an elderly woman who suffers from dementia out of her car, though one of the accused denied the allegations.
Kandee Sheffer, 56, and Gloria Schroeder, 61, each face a felony charge of embezzling from a vulnerable adult, according to 86th District Court records.
Sheffer said the charges are based on false information.
"This is crazy," Sheffer said. "It's the first we've heard of it."
Schroeder is a neighbor of the victim, 92. She arranged for the victim to sell her 2006 Ford Taurus to Sheffer for $1,000. Sheffer then sold the vehicle to another person for $8,000, court records state.
"That's a good profit margin," Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department Capt. Dave Meachum said.
Deputies began investigating the sales after a Michigan Department of Human Services employee noticed the victim's Taurus was missing during a November home visit.
The suspects told investigators the Taurus' poor condition warranted a low selling price.
But the final buyer will testify the car was in excellent condition, and was advertised as such according to court records.
Sheffer said Schroeder had nothing to do with the transaction. Schroeder declined comment for this article.
State law defines a vulnerable adult as any individual over the age of 18 who requires special care because of age, disability or mental illness, or who lacks the personal and social skills required to live independently.
Schroeder faces up to five years imprisonment if convicted of the crime.
Sheffer could face a longer sentence if convicted, based on previous convictions for welfare fraud in 1985 and retail fraud in 1995.

The intention of Compatible Christmas Duets is to provide instrument players the opportunity to play fifty popular Christmas carols in arrangements for two instruments. These duets will work with any combination of any two instruments, so you can play carols with your friends no matter what instrument they play. There are endless possibilities for using duet combinations for fun and entertainment around the holidays. You can play for family, friends, or in a concert setting.
Taken from our years of experience as music teachers, composers and arrangers, the Compatible Christmas Duets provide you with interesting and playable arrangements. They can also help to make practice time fun around the holidays and can be used with friends and teachers as well.

We believe greatly in this approach to learning an instrument, but we also know that many of you want to just play for fun, so we are happy to add this collection of Christmas duets to the Compatible Duets series.

The Rite of Spring, Movements I and II
(I. Introduction - A Kiss of the Earth; II - Dance of the Young Maidens)
By Igor Stravinsky
Arranged by David Dutkanicz
Carl Fischer Music
On May 29, 1913, an over-capacity audience in Paris' Théâtre des Champs-Élysées witnessed an historical spectacle as they became a brute catalyst in the most (in)famous opening night of the twentieth century. The Rite of Spring premiered that evening in the midst of a riot, inspired by the overwhelming primitivism both onstage and in the score. One hundred-plus years later, the music still incites the senses. The ballet was first published in 1914 in a reduction for two pianos, and serves as a basis for this arrangement. This edition is presented in honor of the centennial of the ballet's premiere, and is intended to give soloists and accompanists a chance to perform two movements from this monumental work. The movements can be performed separately, and the first movement can be played as a solo without piano accompaniment. For advanced players.

The mastery of scales and scale patterns has long been established as the best way to improve technical abilities on all instruments.

The four-part chorales of Bach become excellent material for trumpet ensembles in intonation and interaction. Wenger uses alternate dynamics, voice switching, and more to encourage players to listen carefully to each other, and often uses the Chorales as warm-up material. Published in score form, so that each player sees what the others are doing, and to facilitate voice switching in practice, it is recommended that a score is shared by no more than two players. For intermediate to advanced.

From Balquhidder: "It is hard to believe that the Rite of Spring is one hundred years old. More than any other piece in the 20th Century it seems never to age. Those of us fortunate enough to have performed the piece often seem to have it engraved in our psyches. It's something that just doesn't let go.
"In what would at first seem an impossible task, Ed Hoffman has made a brilliant synopsis of the piece that is playable by two trumpets. Of course, some things are missing but you will surprised at how well this duet calls up the music in all its mystery and feral energy. And you are free to add to it and make a small ad hoc ensemble to intensify your recital experience." For advanced performers.

Chops for Trumpet
The Ultimate Guide to Building Tone, Technique and Flexibility
By Frank T. Williams
Foreword by Larry Clark
Carl Fischer Music
Chops: The Ultimate Guide to Building Tone, Technique and Flexibility is a thorough method for brass instruments written by Frank Williams, one of the most respected brass pedagogues in the world. These exercises are not glamorous, but they are the vegetables that all brass players must eat in order to improve their tone, technique and flexibility. This is a one-of-a-kind collection of exercises and insights into mastering the skills necessary to be a solid player on a brass instrument. Williams' students are living proof that these exercises work, ranging from private students, high school bands, award-winning drum and bugle corps, current composers, band directors, and professional musicians, including Mike Roylance, tubist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. With diligent work, Chops will help current students succeed, too. See also: Chops for trombone.
The Dauverné Solo Collection for Trumpet
from Collection de VI Solos pour la Trompette Chromatique
By François Georges Auguste Davuverné
Compiled and edited by Ronnie Ingle
Carl Fischer Music
WF125 — Book and CD — $19.99
This collection of solos composed by François Dauverné is unique in that they are among the very first solos ever written for the valved trumpet, culled from Collection de VI Solos pour la Trompette Chromatique. The collection comes with a CD that contains piano accompaniments as MP3 files and as printable PDFs, as well as printable PDFs of Trumpet in C parts.
Dauverné was the first trumpet teacher at the famed Paris Conservatory and maintained that post for thirty-five years. He was also the teacher of such notable students as Jean-Baptiste Arban and Louis Saint-Jacome. As a performer, Dauverné was first trumpet in the Paris Opera Orchestra for over thirty years. Dauverné is credited for being one of the first individuals to play on the valved trumpet in a public performance, and convinced such composers as Berlioz, Rossini, and Meyerbeer to write for the instrument.
This collection of six solos was originally composed for solo trumpet and chamber orchestra. Associate Professor of Trumpet at the University of North Dakota, Ronnie Ingle has meticulously transcribed and edited these groundbreaking works for solo trumpet, and has made available here for the first time a modern edition for solo trumpet and piano. This is a collection that all trumpeters should have in their library.

David Vining's Ear Training for Trumpet is one of the first methods to integrate performance on the instrument with singing to enable the player to internalize the music. Written by David Vining, a leading brass educator with extensive orchestral, chamber, and solo performance experience, Ear Training for Trumpet is a comprehensive and progressively organized method for improving the ear of students on any brass instrument. In turn, this brings marked improvement in tone, intonation, pitch accuracy, and musical understanding. The book contains more than 70 exercises in pitch, scales, arpeggios, and intervals, including melodious etudes and orchestral excerpts. A brass equivalent of the ear training method is long overdue, and this book is appropriate for not only young students, but brass students of all ages.

In conjunction with Balquhidder Music, Carl Fischer Music is proud to present the sixth installment of the critically acclaimed Anthony Plog Method for Trumpet. Book 6 focuses on the importance of perfecting one's technique in all registers of the instrument, as opposed to focusing only on higher or lower registers. The etudes contained in this book are specifically designed to build strength of playing in all registers. Etudes and exercises meant to improve musicality in the upper register may be transposed in order to achieve utmost strength in this range. Plog's expertise and experience as both an orchestral and film score trumpet player lend themselves beautifully to the creation of this essential exercise book. The unique approach of The Plog Method's sixth book is a vital tool for trumpet players at all levels, ensuring the improvement of tone across the instrument's entire spectrum of pitch.
Balquhidder Music
The eagerly-anticipated seventh volume in the Anthony Plog Method for Trumpet addresses chords and intervals, and will help to develop a player's sound. These versatile exercise and etudes can be slurred, tongued, or a combination of both. Serious trumpet students will be appreciative of further literature in the Plog method.

A faculty member at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, composer, teacher and performer Lauren Bernofsky wrote this work as her doctoral dissertation for Boston University. The composer decided to write for trumpet citing its clear, brilliant sound, but also with the desire to contribute a more "meaty" concerto to the trumpet's library. In three movements, the composer attempts to create variety in the piece through different textures. Originally orchestrated for a classical-size orchestra with double winds and brass, the piano reduction was commissioned by trumpeter Mary L. Thornton as part of her doctoral dissertation project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This work received its piano reduction premiere on July 28, 2001 in Madison, Wisconsin, with Mary Thornton as soloist, and its orchestral premiere on August 12, 2001 in Bergen, Norway, with Gary Peterson as so loist. Audio samples can be heard here, and an interview with the composer in the International Trumpet Guild Journal can be read here (PDF).

Jean-Baptiste Arban (1825-1889) wrote and arranged over 300 pieces of music, with his cornet a pistons solos being the most important to trumpet and cornet players. After his death, much of his work fell into obscurity during the twentieth century. Rediscovering Arban's masterful music was the motivation for compiling this collection of cornet pieces. Included pieces are: "Variations Brilliantes," "Fantaisie brillante sur l'air populaire de Marlborough," "Fantaisie brillante sur des motifs de La Cenerentola de Gioachino Rossini," "Le Pre aux Clercs," "Romance de Mignon de Ambroise Thomas," among other brilliant works. This collection of solos represents a very important piece of Arban's legacy. Includes a piano accompaniment audio CD for effective practice.

The value of duets for teaching has long been established, and the pieces in this collection that predate 19th century traditional harmony provide another possibility for duet use. The simplicity of two-part Renaissance counterpoint has immediate appeal, but also provides a precise opportunity to focus on intonation, tone quality and attack. The duets often provide octaves and other open intervals for pitch adjustments as well as awareness of suspensions and cadential figures. W. Jonathan Gresham, Professor Emeritus of Northern Kentucky University, has compiled these thirty-two melodies and adjusted them for the modern trumpet. For intermediate players.

This volume contains the complete works from Thomas Morley's First Book of Canzonets for Two Voices. They are comprised of nine instrumental fantasies and twelve pieces with lyrics that could have been sung, played on instruments or a combination of the two. The instrumental works were most likely played on viols or recorders. Mark Dulin has adapted these works for trumpet, and since the original works do not indicate dynamics, tempo markings or articulation, he has elected to exclude them here as well. Playing a few of these pieces as a suite would be excellent for performance, and they are also useful tools in studying intonation, imitation and early music performance.

Arban's fundamental method book for trumpet was first published in 1864 and has held a top spot in trumpet studies ever since. In 1936, two of the finest trombonists of the day, Charles Randall and Simone Mantia, revised the method for trombone, creating the basis for trombone studies over the ensuing 75 years.
Today, Alan Raph brings the Arban into the 21st century, enhancing and expanding the complete Arban text, and addressing new skills and techniques developed up to current times. Sections have been expanded (i.e., scales, arpeggios), and new sections have been added (i.e., slide drills, contemporary forms of double and triple tonguing). Alternate positions have been updated and expanded. Sometimes F-attachment positions are given to facilitate awkward slide movements.
Raph's exceptional edition also includes a CD of MP3 accompaniments to the 12 Celebrated Fantaisies and Airs Variés, as performed by John Walker, for a complete instructional package for trombone students.

The mastery of scales and scale patterns has long been established as the best way to improve technical abilities on all instruments. The Complete Scale Compendium focuses on what is most common in the study of classical music: core major and minor scales, as well as chromatic, pentatonic, whole-tone, and blues scales. Students will learn the construction of these scales while practicing unique patterns, enriching their technique. Specific slurs and articulations have been left off of the exercises so that a multitude of different articulation and slur patterns can be used. The exercises are presented in two ways: by scale pattern and by key. Also available for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, and violin.

If you have played and studied the trombone, then it is likely you are familiar with the book commonly referred to as the "Rochut" book. In 1928, Joannes Rochut edited Melodious Etudes for Trombone, published by Carl Fischer Music. Rochut thoroughly selected and edited the wonderfully lyrical vocalises composed by master vocal pedagogue Marco Bordogni, and so the study of the trombone was forever changed. After more than 80 years, Carl Fischer Music editors decided it was time to give this long-established publication a fresh new look. We asked the renowned trombonist and author Alan Raph to re-edit the book to fix errors that have existed since its inception. It was Raph's intent, however, to preserve the important pedagogical sequence established by Rochut, while also taking this new edition one step further. Piano accompaniments have always existed for these delightful etudes and Mr. Raph has now made them part of this new edition. On the included CD, you will find PDF files of all of these piano accompaniments as well as superb MP3 recordings by pianist Rae Moses. With the inclusion of the piano accompaniments, the practice experience is greatly enhanced and the player can deepen their musical expression. This, along with painstakingly edited and re-engraved music, takes this seminal book into the twenty-first century. Every serious teacher and student of the trombone should have this new edition as part of their repertoire. For advancing players.
Chops for Trombone
The Ultimate Guide to Building Tone, Technique and Flexibility
By Frank T. Williams
Foreword by Larry Clark
Carl Fischer Music
Chops: The Ultimate Guide to Building Tone, Technique and Flexibility is a thorough method for brass instruments written by Frank Williams, one of the most respected brass pedagogues in the world. These exercises are not glamorous, but they are the vegetables that all brass players must eat in order to improve their tone, technique and flexibility. This is a one-of-a-kind collection of exercises and insights into mastering the skills necessary to be a solid player on a brass instrument. Williams' students are living proof that these exercises work, ranging from private students, high school bands, award-winning drum and bugle corps, current composers, band directors, and professional musicians, including Mike Roylance, tubist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. With diligent work, Chops will help current students succeed, too.

Ear Training for Trombone is one of the first methods to integrate performance on the instrument with singing to enable the player to internalize the music. Written by David Vining, a leading brass educator with extensive orchestral, chamber, and solo performance experience, Ear Training for Trombone is a comprehensive and progressively organized method for improving the ear of students on any brass instrument. In turn, this brings marked improvement in tone, intonation, pitch accuracy, and musical understanding. The book contains more than 70 exercises in pitch, scales, arpeggios, and intervals, including melodious etudes and orchestral excerpts. A brass equivalent of the ear training method is long overdue, and this book is appropriate for not only young students, but brass students of all ages.

These essential collections for trombone and baritone technique have been adapted from two best-selling Carl Fischer Music trumpet publications of the same name. The trumpet versions were first released in 1923 as six small pamphlets, and have been used to teach lip flexibility and tonguing agility for 85 years with great success. In 2003, the pamphlets were combined into the top-selling Complete Shuebruk Lip and Tongue Trainers for Trumpet. Popular composer and Carl Fischer Music Editor-in-Chief Larry Clark has carefully edited these important methods for use by trombone and baritone students. The books will also work equally well as part of a study program on the tuba. The publications contain detailed instruction and etudes/exercises from Shuebruk, designed to build the musculature necessary to develop fast and accurate lip flexibility as well as quick, clean and crisp articulation. The Complete Shuebruk Lip and Tongue Trainers for Trombone/Baritone, along with the previously published books for trumpet, are a must for all serious students of brass instruments. This adaptation is long overdue and will be gladly welcomed by brass students and teachers alike.

Franz Biebl (1906 - 2001) made his way from choir director to professor of choral music to head of choral programs at Bavarian Radio. In this latter capacity, he often encouraged American choirs to visit Munich to perform on radio and with German choirs. A copy of the Ave Maria was given to the Cornell University Glee Club's director, who brought it back to the U.S., where it became ever more popular.
A recording by Chanticleer made it a hit with the American public, which also brought it to much wider attention in Germany, where it had previously languished. Originally written for male chorus, the Ave Maria is now available in several voicings by the composer, including a version for 7-part mixed chorus, and has been arranged for instrumental ensembles, as well. Now, Jeremy Yager provides a definitive brass choir version, faithful to the original, and suitable for high school and college ensembles.

Indie pop singer/songwriter Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek has been inventively arranged by Vicky Greenbaum for small brass ensemble. A strikingly unique and contemporary song, its YouTube video has been viewed more than 4.7 million times. This arrangement is not technically difficult – but it does present musical challenges in terms of nuance and inflection. Trumpeters may use bucket mutes if flugelhorns are not available, but open trumpets would not be appropriate. This would be a unique piece for a brass recital and is also playable by advance high school students, who will no doubt greet it with enthusiasm.

Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1555-1612), perhaps best known for his many published motets and instrumental canzoni, spent the majority of his career as organist at Venice's Basilica San Marco. Sonata XVIII survives in the 1615 print Canzoni et Sonate (RISM G88), compiled and edited posthumously by a Father P. Thaddeo, Gabrieli's confessor (likely assisted by Alvise Grani, who is credited with the same for Symphoniae Sacrae II). The work is scored for 3 choirs, with rubrics indicating the use of 4 cornetti and 10 tromboni. The present edition is based on a copy of RISM G88 located in the Staatsbibliothek Augsburg. All notes and accidentals are true to the print; ficta and optional ornamentation based on the treatises of Bassano and Dalla Casa are located above the staff. Substitute parts are available in PDF form from the publisher by request.

Scherza Amarilli e Clori was written in 1600 for the wedding of Gabrieli's close friend Georg Gruber, a Tuscan nobleman. It was originally scored for a chorus of six voices: two sopranos, alto, tenor, baritone and bass voices. Unlike many of his works that were written for performance in Italy's St. Mark's Cathedral, this piece is not antiphonal in nature. This transcription was taken from the complete works (Giovani Gabrieli Opera Omnia, Volume XII: Madrigalia, edited by Denis Arnold, American Institute of Musicology, Hänssler-Verlag, 1974). Editorial additions have been kept to a minimum: the slurs were taken from the text, while the dynamics are suggested by both the text and texture of the music. Musical interpretations should bear in mind that the work is vocal in nature. Dur.: 3'

Senate confirms White to head SEC
Monday - 4/8/2013, 6:26pm EDT
AP Business Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Senate has confirmed Mary Jo White's nomination as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, making her the first former prosecutor to lead the federal agency that oversees Wall Street.
White was approved Monday by a Senate voice vote. She will replace Elisse Walter, who has been interim SEC chairman since Mary Schapiro resigned in December.
President Barack Obama nominated White, who had served as U.S. attorney in Manhattan from 1993 through 2002.
Critics have complained that the SEC has failed to act aggressively to charge top executives at the biggest U.S. banks who may have contributed to the crisis that set off the Great Recession.
White told the Senate Banking Committee last month that she would aggressively pursue enforcement and hold accountable "all wrongdoers -- individual and institutional, of whatever position or size."
As SEC chairman, she will also lead efforts to complete and enforce complex regulations called for by Congress in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
White, 65, was the first woman to be named U.S. attorney in Manhattan, one of the most prestigious jobs in law enforcement. During her tenure, she built an extensive record of prosecuting white-collar crime, won convictions in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 terrorist attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, and put crime boss John Gotti away.
She left the U.S. attorney's office in 2002 and went to work for Debevoise & Plimpton, where she served as head of litigation for the prominent New York law firm. Her clients included JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, General Electric and Toyota, and former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis.
During her confirmation hearing, White pledged to avoid potential conflicts of interest from that work. She also promised in writing to step aside as SEC chairman from any decision affecting a former client for one year after she represented them. That's in line with federal ethics guidelines for agency officials. The same pledge has been made by a number of SEC chairmen, many of whom were formerly private securities lawyers.
The SEC chairman and commissioners must vote to approve enforcement actions against specific companies or individuals as well as new rules that apply generally.
"The American public will be my client, and I will work as zealously as possible on behalf of them," White told the Senate Banking Committee.
In addition, White has pledged to abstain from all decisions before the SEC brought by the law firm of her husband, John White, who is a corporate attorney and a former high-ranking SEC official.
