In this master class Katherine deGruchy will discuss concepts of how the use of a musician's airstream can help shape musical phrases. Katherine deGruchy's Homepage
Timothy Gocklin
Known for his sensitive, colorful and engaging performances, Timothy Gocklin shares his passion for music through his deep love for the oboe. Tim's relationship with the oboe began at age 11, the day after attending a military band concert featuring the oboe when his mother expressed how much she loved the instrument. Since then, he has gone on to perform with some of the world's leading artists, including Yo-Yo Ma and Richard Stolzman.
Outisde of Akropolis, Tim performs chamber music in a wide variety of settings. This past spring, Tim was invited to perform Hindemith's Die Serenaden as part of the Yale in New York series at Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall. He has also participated in the Sarasota and Norfolk Chamber Music Festivals. As a fellow of the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival this past summer, Tim had the privilege of working with Carol Wincenc and William Purvis in a performance of Charles Gounod's Petite Symphonie and Emile Bernard's Divertissement. In addition, Tim spent the summer of 2012 as a member of the Interlochen Ensemble, a quintet-in-residence at the Interlochen Arts Camp performing around the state of Michigan.
In addition to Tim's active career as a chamber musician, he has also been fortunate to have opportunities performing as a soloist. In 2009, Tim was announced winner of the inaugural U.S. President's Own "Marine Band" Concerto Competition, and as a result performed Haydn's Oboe Concerto with the ensemble at the MTNA national conference in Milwaukee, WI. A few months earlier Tim was invited to perform Bach's Concerto for Violin and Oboe in C minor as a guest soloist with the Nashua Chamber Orchestra.
Tim can be heard on the NAXOS and Block M record labels and has participated in other recording projects, including two albums with the University of Michigan Symphony Band in 2010 and 2012, the second of which featured new works for wind ensemble under the direction of Michael Haithcock. These works were taken on a tour to China where the band performed 9 concerts in 6 cities, including at Beijing's National Centre for the Arts and Shanghai's Grand Theatre. In 2011, he recorded the three piano concerti of Alberto Ginastera with pianist Barbara Nissman and the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra.
In 2012, Tim received his Bachelors degree summa cum laude from the University of Michigan where he spent four fulfilling years studying with Dr. Nancy Ambrose King whose recording of the Vaughan Williams Oboe Concerto inspired him while learning the piece in 8th grade. Currently, he is at Yale University pursuing his Master of Music degree with Stephen Taylor. When not playing the oboe or widdling away at his reeds, Tim can be found relaxing in a coffee shop with a journal and pencil on one side and a hot, robust cup of coffee on the other.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds chose the bassoon in 5th grade under the impression that it produced only one note and would therefore be the easiest instrument to play. His disappointment upon discovering three and a half octaves of notes quickly turned to fascination and intrigue, with the "gorgonzola of the orchestra" providing daily mysteries and rewards.
Ryan has performed with the Traverse and Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestras, as well as Vivo Sinfonietta, the Ann Arbor Cantata Singers, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Ann Arbor, and many other regional orchestras around the state of Michigan. Ryan toured the upper peninsula of Michigan with the Sonrisa Wind Quintet as an artist-in-residence for the Pine Mountain Music Festival, and in 2012 was a member of the Interlochen Ensemble, a wind quintet built entirely of Interlochen alumni. Ryan frequently performs and premieres new chamber works featuring the bassoon.
Ryan is also an active educator, teaching a studio of young bassoonists from throughout southern Michigan. Ryan has taught numerous beginning bassoon camps, masterclasses, and clinics at schools around Michigan, and given talks on how to create careers as a bassoonist.
Ryan has been featured on National Public Radio's "From the Top", Interlochen Public Radio, and can be seen in numerous videos in the University of Michigan Bassoon Studio YouTube series.
Ryan attended the Interlochen Arts Academy from 2004-08 where he studied with Dr. Eric Stomberg, after which he replaced his 'Interlochen blues' with Michigan's, attending the University of Michigan from 2008-2013 while studying with Dr. Jeffrey Lyman.
In his spare time Ryan can be found buried in the stories and poetry of Jim Harrison, watching movies, or engaging total strangers in intense discussion about how "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is the greatest show ever aired on television.
John deGruchy
John deGruchy is a native of Long Island, N.Y., where he began studying the bassoon at age 15. He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied under Cleveland Orchestra principal bassoonist George Goslee. He has also earned a Masters of Music from Rice University, studying under the tutelage of Benjamin Kamins.
John served as Second Bassoon in the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra from 1988-1996. He has also performed extensively throughout southwest Ohio and the Midwest, including stints with the Cincinnati Opera and Ballet, The Louisville Symphony, The West Virginia Symphony, and the Whitewater Opera Company. He has also participated in the Grand Teton Music Festival, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute.
Most recently, John has performed as principal bassoon with the Springfield Symphony in 2003 and 2004, the Middletown Symphony 2006 and 2007, and also the Hamilton – Fairfield Symphony 2007-2009. He also has performed at the Hamilton Fairfield Chamber Series and the Dayton Art Institute Sunday Chamber Music series in 2010. He and his wife Katherine founded the Burning River Winds in 2006.
Carlos Coelho
Carlos Coelho is an oboe repair specialist and owner of Carlos Coelho Woodwinds. Born in Brazil, he studied at the Manhattan School of Music and at Temple University. His masterclass will be on selecting the right instrument. Coelho Woodwinds will have a booth in the vendor hall so oboists can purchase supplies and speak to Carlos throughout the day.
Bruce Gbur
Bruce Gbur is the former professor of bassoon and oboe at Kansas State University holding degrees in bassoon performance and musicology from Baldwin-Wallace and the University of Georgia. He is an accomplished contrabassoonist and is the founder and owner of the double reed publishing house Prairie Dawg Press.

Brewers could offer new look Sunday
Milwaukee (7-4) at New York (5-5), Sunday, 12:10 p.m. CT
NEW YORK -- Brewers sluggers Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun are trying to convince their manager to make a key change to the lineup.The players asked to flip spots in the order Saturday evening so they line up the way they did last year. Braun hit third almost exclusively after a May 2007 promotion to the big leagues, and belted 34 home runs to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award. Batting fourth, Fielder became the youngest Major Leaguer ever to hit 50 home runs in a season and finished third in NL MVP balloting. Both players are off to a somewhat slow start to 2008. They each went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets, Braun is hitting .229 so far and Fielder has yet to homer in 41 at-bats. The two young players sat at Fielder's locker after the game and talked it over, then Braun suggested to hitting coach Jim Skaalen that they would like to make a change for Sunday's series finale. That does not mean manager Ned Yost will necessarily comply. Though Bill Hall, Gabe Kapler and Rickie Weeks each homered to beat Mets ace Johan Santana, Brewers hitters have mostly sputtered a bit of late, combining to hit .147 in three consecutive losses before Saturday's win. Yost said before Saturday's game that flipping Fielder and Braun in the batting order would not necessarily offer a cure. "It's a placebo," Yost said. Yost indicated then -- before Braun had requested the switch -- that things would remain the same, at least for now. "I don't panic after six games or seven games and change my lineup," Yost said. "It's the ebb and flow of a Major League season. You go up and you go down, you get hot and you get cold. It's nothing to panic about. You can't snap your fingers and make it change. You just ride it out in a cool, calm and collected manner. You don't start making rash decisions." Tune in Sunday to see if Yost decides to make the change, after all. Pitching matchup
MIL: RHP Jeff Suppan (1-0, 2.03 ERA)
Suppan is Mr. April for Milwaukee and was on the verge of improving to 6-2 in the opening month since debuting with the team last season, only to see a win wiped away Tuesday. He worked six scoreless innings before a pair of seeing-eye singles led to a run in the seventh, and he was in line for the win before Corey Patterson's two-out, two-strike home run off Eric Gagne in the ninth. Suppan has a 2.81 ERA in eight career starts against the Mets and a 2.70 ERA at Shea Stadium, numbers that don't include his eight scoreless innings in Game 6 of the 2006 NLCS for the Cardinals. NYM: LHP Oliver Perez (1-0, 0.00 ERA)
Perez pitched in and out of trouble last Tuesday against the Phillies, walking three batters and hitting two. Still, his command was sharp enough to escape without any damage on the scoreboard, and he has yet to allow a run in 11 2/3 innings this season. Perez didn't face the Brewers last season, though he holds a 3-1 record and 4.32 ERA against them for his career. Tidbits
Hernan Iribarren made his Major League debut Saturday and hit the first pitch he saw for a single off Carlos Muniz. Moments later, Iribarren was picked off first base. Yost said he had called for a hit-and-run, but Muniz apparently sniffed it out. ... Ten of the Brewers' 13 home runs this season have been solo shots. Before Gabe Kapler's two-run homer in the seventh inning Saturday, the team's last nine home runs came with no runners on base. ... Mets shortstop Jose Reyes underwent an MRI scan on Saturday that revealed a mild left hamstring strain. He's day-to-day, but unlikely to play in Sunday's finale. Tickets

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Keith and Patrice Harrington. They were found bludgeoned to death in a bedroom of their home in Dana Point on August 19, 1980. They had been married for only a few months when they became the Golden State Killer's victims.
This photo is from the East Area Rapist Task Force files and is an example of the type of home the Golden State Killer (known as EAR by authorities) routinely chose for an attack: single story with a detached garage in a middle- to upper-middle-class neighborhood.

When he attacked couples, the Golden State Killer frequently ordered the female victim to tie up the male. The killer would become agitated and threatening if he felt the knots were being tied too loosely.
The Golden State Killer often used shoelaces to bind his victims.
The aftermath of a Golden State Killer attack. Note the plates on the bed. One of his most twisted techniques was to stack dishes on top of a bound male victim's back, telling him that if he heard the dishes fall, he'd kill the female, whom he would then lead into another room to rape.

Three chain store-brand running shoes investigators considered in their search for the Golden State Killer's shoe type.

|Fifty Years, Fifty Women
In observation of the 50th anniversary of female students being admitted to Georgia Tech, the Alumni Magazine spotlights 50 women as representative of the thousands who have attended since the first two coeds were admitted in the fall of 1952.
In 1919, Annie Teitlebaum Wise became the first woman to graduate from Georgia Tech's Evening School of Commerce and its first faculty member. In fact, she was the first woman to graduate from any state-supported university in Georgia.
Ella Wall Van Leer, the resolute wife of Georgia Tech President Blake Van Leer, knocked down barriers from the state Capitol to the Board of Regents to open the Institute's doors to women. She marshaled the support of the Women's Chamber of Commerce and spearheaded a successful petition drive to overturn the statute barring female students from Tech.
Dorothy Crosland, who ran the Georgia Tech libraries for 44 years, stood firmly with Van Leer. In early 1952, Crosland wrote a letter to the Board of Regents. "Should women be barred from contributing to the advancement of science and industry in the state? Cannot Georgia do as other states and make provisions for women who want to study architecture and engineering?"
Elizabeth Koenig Armsby was secretary to presidents at Georgia Tech from 1944 until 1965. She vividly recalls the battles fought to secure the admission of women. "Colonel and Mrs. Van Leer and Dot Crosland fought doggedly and their determination paid off. It was achieved only by blood, sweat and tears," says Armsby.
Van Leer and Crosland helped pave the way for Shirley Clements Mewborn, EE 56, the first woman to major in electrical engineering at Tech, one of the first two women to graduate and the Alumni Association's first and to date only female president.
Diane Michel and Elizabeth Cofer Herndon became the first two women to enroll in classes at Georgia Tech in the fall of 1952. Michel became the first female to make it through the Institute from start to finish when she was awarded an industrial engineering degree in 1956.
Herndon was a 30-year-old widowed mother when she arrived on campus. She later married a fellow Tech student and withdrew from classes when pregnancy made it difficult to navigate the campus.
Anne Brown, who left Tech after one year, became the first woman to lead cheers on the sidelines at Georgia Tech football games in 1953.
Paula Stevenson Humphreys, Text 58, became Tech's first majorette. She had to agree to play an instrument, so she also became Tech's first coed in the band.
The day after her four-year stint was up in the Air Force, Martha Moss Quo signed up for a whole new kind of duty tour. She spent five years as Tech's first female GI Bill student, earning a bachelor's degree in textiles in 1958 and a master's degree in textiles in 1960.
Jean McDowell Ray, Chem 65, pulled a fast one. She wanted a chemistry degree, not available to female students at Tech, so she turned in the standard change of major request form using only her initials. It received rubber stamp approval. A few days later, however, the head of the chemistry department summoned her.
Undaunted, Ray reviewed the chemistry curricula of all the public universities in Georgia, then requested admission to the Tech chemistry department from the Board of Regents. In January 1963, her request was approved.
In 1966-67, all academic departments at Tech were officially opened to women.
Among the other firsts, Ivenue Love-Stanley was the first African-American woman to earn an architecture degree from the Institute, in 1977. Amy Wepking Opfer, ME 81, became the first female student body president, in 1978. Patrise Perkins-Hooker, Mgt 80, was named the first female African-American member of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association board of trustees, in 1989.
Helen Gould, IE 82, became the first woman to serve as student body vice president and as president of ANAK. Lisa Volmar, IE 86, was elected as the first female driver of the Ramblin' Wreck, in 1984.
Kathy Harrison, Mgt 89, became Tech's first female All-American athlete after she dominated the Atlantic Coast Conference women's track and field championships, in 1987. Allison George, Mgt 88, is the first woman to serve as director of communications for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. In the spring of 1987, Susan Davis, Biol 91, became the Institute's first female Buzz.
Marie Hill Gerlach, ESM 83, was Georgia Tech's first Marshall Scholar. Kisha Ford, Mgt 97, became the first Georgia Tech player to be drafted by the Women's National Basketball Association when the New York Liberty selected her in the fourth round of the 1997 draft. Fifth-year student Tiffany Massey is the first female African-American to lead The Student Government Association.
The sky was the limit for Jan Davis, Biol 75, who became Georgia Tech's first female astronaut aboard a space shuttle, in 1992. A veteran of three space shuttle flights, she has logged more than 670 hours in space.
Only the second woman to pilot a space shuttle, Susan Still Kilrain, MS AE 85, made astronaut history in 1997 as a member of the first shuttle crew to fly back-to-back flights. A shuttle flight in April 1997 was cut short, so NASA sent the whole crew back into orbit three months later.
Sandra "Sandy" Magnus, PhD 96, is a mission specialist on the October shuttle crew delivering, installing and activating the S-one Truss to the International Space Station.
The Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Administration Building is the only structure on the Georgia Tech campus named for a woman.
Evans was never a student at Georgia Tech. Neither were either of her husbands. But her death in 1953 resulted in the Lettie Pate Evans Foundation, which over the years has given more than $340 million to the Institute.
As far as we know, Georgia Tech has produced only one romance writer Anne Bushyhead Frankenfield, CE 76. Writing under the pseudonym of Nicole Jordan, she has just released her 16th historical romance, "Ecstasy." She began writing as a stress buster during her eight years at Procter & Gamble.
Displaying both brains and beauty, Sandra Adamson Fryhofer, ChE 79, won the 1976 Miss Georgia pageant while a Tech student and went on to earn a medical degree then become the youngest and second female president of the 115,000-member American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine.
Deborah Wagnon, IM 76, won the Miss Atlanta title in 1976, then earned her law degree from Stanford in 1982. An entertainment attorney, she is now head of the entertainment practice for Cornelius & Collins, a 60-year-old law firm in Nashville, Tenn., and also works with Fox Law Group in Hollywood.
Mercedes Dullum, Biol 75, a cardio-thoracic surgeon in Washington, D.C., is among only a handful of specialists who do minimally invasive heart surgery.
Sally Lam Woo, ChE 67, the owner of Oriental Art in Atlanta, has one of the largest collections of hand-painted silk screens and scrolls in the country, as well as books and accessories for Ikebana and feng shui, handmade silk wedding kimonos, porcelain and pottery.
Janet Wylie, CE 77, president and CEO of Engineous Software, says although the business atmosphere has changed and more women have come into positions of power, things haven't changed dramatically yet.
"I've been on nine boards of directors and on almost every one I was the only woman," she says. "I don't think about it anymore, but when I was coming up things were very bad. Sexual harassment was rampant, but things that were earth-shattering to me then I can laugh at now."
Janice Nease Wittschiebe, Arch 78, M Arch 80, is a principal in Richard + Wittschiebe Architects of Atlanta. She has continued to be active as an alumnus and is a vice president on the executive committee of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, chair of the Georgia Tech Advisory Board and a member of the Georgia Tech Foundation. She is a member of the College of Architecture's Development Council and Program Advisory Board and is past chair of the college's advisory board.
Margie Lewis, NE 79, withdrew $10,000 from her savings account in 1993 and launched Parallax, an engineering and environmental management company, out of her home.
The company's focus is inspecting nuclear power plants, putting safety procedures in place and cleaning up nuclear and hazardous waste. Because of the heightened threat to national security since 9/11, Lewis says her company has doubled in size to 200 employees.
Deborah Nash Willingham, ISyE 78, is Microsoft's senior vice president for human resources. Still she makes time for Georgia Tech. She has served on the Georgia Tech Advisory and Foundation boards, the Alumni Advisory Board for Industrial and Systems Engineering and as a commencement speaker. She was named to the College of Engineering Council of Outstanding Young Engineering Alumni in 1996. Fortune magazine has listed her among the country's most powerful businesswomen.
Andrea Arena, Mgt 89, runs 2 Places At 1 Time, a concierge company she started in 1991 at age 24 with her $5,000 savings.
"I guess it was kind of gutsy, but if you're going to do it, do it when you're 23 or 24 and you having nothing to lose," she says. "I had a rented apartment and partial equity in a Honda Accord. I figured the worst-case scenario was that it would be a total failure and I'd go get a 'real' job like my classmates. I think ignorance is bliss. The possibility of failure didn't enter into my mind."
Marsha Everton, AB 73, says her Georgia Tech education helped mold her into a savvy businesswoman.
"A science-driven education really helps you learn how to use your curiosity productively. It really teaches you a lot about how to take a situation, break it down, look at it from many angles and put it back together," says Everton, the first female president and CEO of The Pfaltzgraff Co. in York, Pa.
As an engineering student, Liliana Maldonado, MS SANE 80, found herself so fascinated with water management that she made it her specialty. She received the 2002 Hispanic Engineers National Achievement Award for accomplishments by Hispanic-American professionals in science, engineering and technology.
Linda Griffith, ChE 82, has been promoted to full professor at MIT. Her research to develop a "liver chip" earned her a spot on a recent episode of the PBS series "Scientific American Frontiers."
Gena Abraham, CE 92, MS CE 99, PhD 02, loves the construction industry. She has returned to Georgia Tech as a teacher to instill that passion in students. Her decision to shift gears came as she was entrenched in the $63 million state Capitol restoration as chief engineer for the Georgia Building Authority.
"Teaching seemed to be the next step. I felt I could make a difference in an industry that I really love, that I could make a bigger difference here than anywhere else," Abraham says.
Mary Kay Cabell led the way for female Tech instructors when her husband was transferred to Atlanta in 1960. She had just earned her PhD in mathematics from the University of Virginia and she wanted to teach. She was hired as an assistant professor for the 1960-61 academic year.
Mary Nell Santacroce directed her first of 47 DramaTech productions in 1949. Dubbed "Coach" by DramaTech students, Santacroce served as director until 1966, when she returned to full-time acting.
An All-American basketball player at North Carolina, Bernadette McGlade was hired as Georgia Tech's first full-time women's basketball coach and director of women's sports in 1981 at the age of 23.
In 1987, her sister, Agnus Berenato, was hired as an assistant coach by Athletics Director Homer Rice.
When McGlade assumed full-time administrative responsibilities in 1989, Berenato followed her as head coach. In 1997, McGlade left Tech to become an associate commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Sue Rosser was named Georgia Tech's first female academic dean in March 1999 heading the Ivan Allen College. Terry Blum, dean of the DuPree College of Management, is the first woman to be seated in an endowed chair at Tech. Jo McIver was named Georgia Tech's first female registrar in February 2000. Gail DiSabatino became the first female dean of students in 1995.
Laura Scott Willis Pace, Biol 91, remembers sitting in a Georgia Tech cafeteria reading while her mom, Mary Scott Willis Christfield, MS OR 78, attended class.
So Pace personalizes the Ramblin' Wreck song. At football games, she amends the lyrics of the rousing ballad, singing at the top of her voice, "Like her mama used to do!"

Earlier on Wednesday, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com reported that Nebraska had agreed to an offer to join the Big Ten, with an announcement expected to come on Friday (he also declared the Big 12 dead while he was at it).
Now, Fox Sport Ohio is reporting the Big Ten has indeed made a formal invitation to the Huskers, and sources are telling ESPN that Osborne "informed athletic staff members within the past 24 hours that the Cornhuskers were going to make the move to the Big Ten conference."
This all comes after the Big 12 conference asked its teams for a "loyalty pledge" over the weekend, and just nine schools complied, with Nebraska and Missouri opting out. The league responded to those teams with an ultimatum that a decision must come by Friday if they decided to stay. Apparently, Nebraska AD Tom Osborne had enough:
"I think before too long - I don't know exactly what that time frame is - we'll be able to put this to bed,'' said Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne, "because I'm getting tired of it.''
Assuming the Big Ten adds Nebraska -- at this point, it sounds like a done deal -- the conference may not be done adding teams. Chip Brown details in his report that Notre Dame could be the next target.
The future of the Big 12 appeared to hinge on the Big Ten's deliberations with Notre Dame. The Big Ten has promised Notre Dame it will stop its expansion at 12 schools if Notre Dame agrees to finally forgo its independence and become part of a conference, an athletic director with knowledge of the Big Ten has told Orangebloods.com.
Notre Dame is apparently locked in a battle among its Board of Trustees about what to do. There are some who fear the Irish being left out of the formation of what could well become four, super conferences in college athletics. That could cost Notre Dame its access to a BCS bid.

Vehicle Profile: The 2012 Kia Optima Family
Dealer Specials
Looking to Save?
Check here for Dealer Specials.
Any sentence containing the words "average midsize sedan" clearly do not refer to the 2012 Kia Optima, a midsize sedan that exceeds expectations for midsize sedans so decisively that it probably skews the averages upward for the entire segment. That skewing begins with the number of choices the 2012 Kia Optima model line offers including high-powered turbocharged versions and a 40 mpg hybrid.
Glance at a Kia Optima while it's parking or passing by, and you could mistake it for a luxury-brand sedan costing upward of $35,000. If that sounds a little wild, consider that, among its many awards, the Kia Optima recently picked up a "Most Gorgeous Car" in its class accolade from Esquire magazine. Who's to argue with an expert in design and fashion?
A "gorgeous" design could easily be considered a special bonus in a sedan starting at an MSRP of $21,000. That's for a well-equipped 2012 Optima LX A/T model with a standard six-speed Sportmatic® automatic transmission with manual shift capability, USB and auxiliary audio input jacks, heated exterior mirrors, foglamps, Bluetooth® connectivity, a cooling glovebox, steering wheel-mounted controls and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel. The upscale Optima EX model adds the comfort of leather-trimmed seating, an eight-way power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic temperature control, wood interior trim, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with HomeLink®, a compass and rear reading lamps.
In Optima LX A/T and EX models, the standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces a prodigious 200 hp and 186 lb/ft of torque. That's better than nearly all models in the class, and it's just getting warmed up. The Optima EX Turbo gives you a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine. With 274 hp and a stunning 269 lb/ft of torque produced from 1,750 to 4,500 rpm, this engine outpowers competitors' V6 engines. Remarkably, it also outpowers the turbo four's standard in three 2012 luxury sedans – the Audi A6 (211 hp), BMW 5 Series (240 hp) and Mercedes-Benz C-Class (201 hp).
Even with its big power advantage, the 2012 Kia Optima EX Turbo models still deliver 34 mpg highway fuel economy and use Regular grade fuel.
Order the Premium Package with the Optima EX or EX Turbo and you add luxury that rivals some much more expensive models. Comfort features include heated and cooled front seats, a four-way power passenger's seat and heated rear seats. There's much more including a panoramic sunroof, Infinity® premium audio system and the UVO Powered by Microsoft® infotainment system with rear camera display and HD Radio™. Consider the driver's seat memory and power-folding exterior mirrors icing on this rather rich cake.
For the driving enthusiast, the top-of-the-line Kia Optima SX couples the turbocharged engine and EX-level content with a special sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels and steering wheel paddleshifters for the six-speed Sportmatic® automatic transmission. The SX accentuates its athletic demeanor with a sporty body styling package and exclusive interior trim. Car and Driver magazine described the interior of its Optima test car as "a study in elegant design, excellent materials and all-day comfort."
In the new 2012 Optima Hybrid, Kia technology combines the power of a 2.4-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor through a specially designed six-speed automatic transmission. The resulting combined system output of 206 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque provides outstanding all-around performance while also delivering the most impressive fuel economy ratings in the Optima line - 35 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. The Kia Optima Hybrid can run in full electric mode at up to 62 mph, or in full hybrid gas-electric mode at any speed. The Hybrid model's MSRP of $26,500 includes all the standard features of the Optima LX model, plus features from the more luxurious EX model.
A soon-to-be-released Optima Limited model takes all the features of the top-of-the-line SX and adds Nappa premium leather seats, an Alcantara headliner, LED front positioning lights and chrome wheels, accent side sills, outside door handles and rear spoiler. The Limited model also includes all the available options from the SX trim including heated and cooled front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a Navigation system and panoramic sunroof as standard equipment.
All Optima models deliver the peace of mind of the "Top Safety Pick" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and all 2012 Kia models come with a five-year/60,000-mile Limited Basic Warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty. The Optima Hybrid, in addition, backs up its lithium-polymer battery system with a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty.
The 2012 Kia Optima family offers style, performance, safety, luxury and outstanding fuel economy across the model line. Come in and see which one fits your life.

LEWISTOWN, Ill. -- A local museum searching for our past, is looking to its future.
On Sunday, the Dickson Mounds State Museum unveiled plans for future expansion.
New exhibits will include Native American history, American Settlement history and a 3D rendering of the Dickson Mounds Cemetery.
A display called the "Thompson Lake Gallery" will focus on the restoration efforts being done on the land surrounding the museum.
"At the end of the day we think we have a set of exhibits that will tell the whole human story," said Director Michael Wiant, "From native people who lived here for 12,000 years to the arrival of our forbearer and also one that looks at the land. How it has been transformed by modern society and what some of the merits are to make sure that some parts of it at least are left in a more pristine condition."
Officials hope to complete the new exhibits by September 14, 2014 to commemorate the museum's 20th anniversary.

Lourdes University prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. Discrimination on the basis of sex includes sexual harassment or sexual violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion, all of which constitute sexual misconduct. Lourdes is committed to the safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors, and the purpose of this policy is to provide a learning environment in which individuals are safe from sexual misconduct.
Any individual — student, faculty, or staff — found responsible for sexual misconduct is subject to disciplinary action. As defined in the Lourdes University Community Standards Code, sexual misconduct includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment, non-consensual sexual contact, non-consensual sexual intercourse, and sexual exploitation. Consent must be clear, knowing, and voluntary prior to and during sexual activity. The Code of Conduct contained in the Community Standards Code provides additional information and explanation of sexual misconduct and consent and is incorporated by reference in this policy.
Persons filing complaints of sexual misconduct will not be penalized academically or coerced in any way. Retaliation against persons filing complaints of sexual misconduct is prohibited. Anyone alleged to have retaliated or threatened retaliation against a victim of sexual misconduct will be subject to disciplinary review that may result in sanctions up to and including suspension, expulsion or termination.
Persons who believe they have been the victim of sexual misconduct are encouraged to report the incident, as reporting is the only way Lourdes can take action against the accused individual. Reports may be made to Lourdes University Public Safety at 419-574-3861, to the Assistant Dean of Students/Title IX Administrator at 419-517-8946, or to any Lourdes official. Only the persons who need to know will be told of the incident, and information will be shared only as necessary with investigators, witnesses and the accused individual.
If persons desire to report confidentially, they should speak with on-campus mental health counselors, campus health service providers or off-campus rape crisis resources who can maintain confidentiality. Off-campus resources are listed in the Campus Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights contained in the Student Handbook. In addition, the Sophia Center is a campus resource that provides confidential, pressure-free support and information to victims of sexual assault and can be contacted at 419-882-4529. The Sophia Center can provide information about sexual assault reporting options, options for medical treatment and evidence collection, campus and community resources, and victims' rights. All Lourdes University personnel should refer sexual assault victims to the Sophia Center.
Both the person filing a complaint and the person accused of sexual misconduct have the right to a prompt and equitable investigation and resolution of the complaint. Mediation will not be used to resolve sexual misconduct complaints. Both parties will be informed promptly of the outcome of the investigation and any discipline that is imposed.
Possible sanctions for students range from reprimands and community service to suspension and expulsion. Possible sanctions for faculty and staff range from reprimands to termination of employment. Lourdes reserves the right to impose different sanctions, ranging from verbal warning to expulsion or termination, depending on the severity of the offense.
To encourage victims to seek assistance and consider reporting, Student Life grants amnesty to students who may have violated Lourdes' alcohol policy at the time of the alleged incident. A student who reports that he or she was under the influence of alcohol at the time will not face Lourdes University sanctions related to the alcohol use.
Students may also change their residence housing and academic arrangements if such changes are reasonably available.
For immediate emergency medical attention, female victims should call 911 or go to Toledo Hospital, St. Vincent's, St. Luke's, or University of Toledo Medical Center, as these hospitals have nurses with special training for sexual assaults. Male victims should call 911 or go to the University of Toledo Medical Center for specialized care. Children under 14 years of age should be taken to Toledo Hospital or St. Vincent's for specialized pediatric care. To preserve evidence, the victim should not bathe, douche, or brush teeth prior to going to the hospital. If clothing worn at the time of the assault has been removed, it should be taken along to the hospital in a paper bag.
Additional assistance is available by contacting the Sophia Center at 419-882-4529 or, for 24-hour information/advocacy, by calling the Hope Center Rape Crisis Hotline at 419-241-7273.
Victims of sexual misconduct may pursue criminal prosecution and/or civil litigation. The Director of Safety & Security is available to provide assistance with filing charges with the Sylvania Police Department and to help the victim understand the criminal prosecution process. Lourdes will cooperate and assist in notifying the proper law enforcement agency if the victim so chooses.
As required by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act), Lourdes collects and discloses crime statistics, including reported forcible and non-forcible sexual offenses, to students, employees and the public. No personally identifying information is included in the statistical reports.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"Notice me if you like my work. Notice me if you want to be my lover," was leggy Peggy Lipton's swingy sixties mantra. And there was no lack of reasons to notice this beautiful Long Island-turned-California girl. Eileen Ford did and signed the fresh-scrubbed teen to a modeling contract. Aaron Spelling did, too, and catapulted the 21-year-old to fame in 1968 as The Mod Squad's undercover cop from the San Francisco 'hood. With her long, straw-colored, center-parted hair; wide-set, nut-brown eyes; bell-bottoms; and love beads, Lipton's fragile yet streetwise Julie Barnes epitomized the era's free-love look. Off screen, she played the man magnet, admitting in her hot-off-the-press autobiography, Breathing Out, to relationships with Paul McCartney, Terence Stamp, his brother Chris, Keith Moon, and Elvis Presley, not to mention her husband of 15 years, Quincy Jones. In the early nineties, David Lynch tapped Lipton for the enigmatic Norma Jennings role in Twin Peaks. More recently, she appeared on Alias, teaching Jennifer Garner's sexy secret agent a thing or two about nabbing bad guys and looking hot. As her Mod Squad co-stars would say, "Solid."

A man police say intentionally placed himself and his car in the path of an oncoming train Thursday morning is expected to survive his injuries.
It happened at the crossing on McNeil Street in downtown Shreveport. Police say the train struck the car on the passenger side, dragging the vehicle about two blocks before cars on the train disconnected and the whole thing came to a stop.
The driver was taken to a local hospital with what police are describing as "non-life-threatening" injuries. They say he admitted to driving on the tracks in a suicide attempt.
He is expected to undergo a mental evaluation at the hospital.
It's not clear yet whether the man will face any charges.

Sanding Blocks
> LARGE Four-Stage Sanding Block
LARGE Four-Stage Sanding Block
Item# LARGE-fourstage-sanding-block
1 large sanding block 1.5"x1.5"x6" (33mmx33mmx150mm) four stages of different sanding textures.
Click on Picture to ZOOM and then back arrow to return to this page.
Picture above shows three of these larger 4 stage sanding blocks. Picture above also shows other items such as the small 4 stage sanding block and the Large 1 Stage rough sanding block (all green).
This specially designed Pick Punch sanding block has 4 special sanding surfaces for finishing guitar picks.
With this tool you can sand smooth bevels on the edges of your guitar picks and also sand the sides of the picks for more grip.
Another use for sanding blocks. With just a ballpoint pen you can create custom stamps. Also when the sanding block wears out you can cut them and use all four sides for several custom stamps.
General Information about our sanding blocks:
Picture above shows all three sanding blocks we carry plus our Pick Punch tool. These items are not included.
We sell three different sanding blocks.
1. Small 4 stage ((4 progressive sides) rough, medium fine, fine, buffing) Will fit inside the handle of the punch.
2. Large 4 stage ((4 progressive sides) rough, medium fine, fine, buffing) About the same size as a Pick Punch.
3. Large 1 stage ((rough all four sides)) About the same size a a Pick Punch.
Consider buying all three sanding blocks. Keep one inside the punch so there is always one handy. The large sanding blocks are great for larger projects. We found that side 1 is used more than the other sides and therefore will wear out quicker so we created a large sanding block to handle those larger projects. If you are not sure which to get for gift giving consider all three to cover all situations that may come up. .

2011 Classical Tibetan Summer Intensive Class at Maitripa College
Past Students in the Classical Tibetan Language Summer Intensive have said:
Craig is an amazing teacher and I am quite grateful for the opportunity to study Tibetan with him. I was impressed by Craig's knowledge of both the philosophical underpinnings and grammatical structure of the works we studied. If you are interested in learning how to translate Classical Tibetan in a precise fashion, this is the place to be! Michael, MA student
Craig is a dedicated and wonderful teacher. Karl Nhambu Berg, MA in Buddhist Studies, Maitripa College
Craig Preston greatly advanced my skills and is an excellent teacher. I sincerely recommend the course to anyone who wishes to learn to read Tibetan Buddhist texts. For those from out of town, I can moreover recommend Portland as a great city to spend the summer. Jens, PhD student from Norway
I had never studied Tibetan [but] after eight weeks I was able to read in Tibetan, use Wylie, understand more Buddhist philosophy, and even do some debate in Tibetan. I was amazed and delighted. Now when I go to a teaching I can pick out some of what the lama is saying, which is so much fun. I can't think of a better way I could have started learning the language.

I've been thinking a lot about strikers lately.
20 goals is the magic number.
Everyone says, you need a striker to guarantee you 20 goals a season.
Well I'm going to come in from a different angle here.
It doesn't matter how many goals your striker scores, what matter is how many points you accumulate.
And in order to accumulate those points, goals scored/conceded is going to play a large part in this.
You'd have to ask MCofA exactly how much it correlates, and I'm aware that it's not exactly but on the whole those at the bottom half of the table have a negative goal difference, whilst those at the top have a positive goal difference.
There are of course exceptions, last year Liverpool had a goal difference of +28 mainly due to a few 5-0 victories.
Tottenham scored 66 goals and conceded 46, giving us a goal difference of +20
We conceded more goals than anybody in the top 7, and scored less than the four teams above us.
We actually scored as many as Man City but conceded 12 more goals.
The key to bridging the gap is fairly simple.
We want to score more goals and concede less. It's obvious when you say it, but that's the basis of football.
Score more than you concede.
I like to think that we should be aiming for 76 goals scored. 38 conceded.
That's an average of 2 scored per game, and 1 conceded.
If you're scoring 2 goals per game, then other than the odd 3-2 loss, you're going to be winning and drawing most games.
So at the end of our season, I believe we look at the team and say.... How can we score more goals and concede less.
Who can we add to this team to change those stats?
Going by my number of 76 goals, we need to add 10 goals to the team somewhere, it really doesn't have to be the striker, if Paulinho scores 8 that's 8 more than Parker last year.
The interesting thing is this. If you want to score 80 goals a season, and your striker scores 20, you need 60 to come from the rest of your team.
If you have that,
Then a striker scoring 13 goals gets you 73 goals and a striker scoring 23 gets you 83.
You're not putting all your eggs in one basket and the success of your season doesn't rely on one man.
Or you can have a striker like Christian Benteke who's scores 19 goals and the rest of your team score 28 like Aston Villa last year and you can finish on 47 goals in 15th spot.
If you look at the acquisitions since AVB came in you can actually see this moneyball concept in effect. The purchase of Jan Vertonghen adding goals from CB, the purchase of Siggy was supposed to have the same effect from midfield, even Dempsey, Now Paulinho.
Paulinho actually being the perfect purchase for us and arguably the most important when you see that it's our goals conceded stat that's actually most worrying from last year.
Suddenly breaking the transfer record on him doesn't seem at all strange.
So where do we add 10 goals to our team from?
Defoe scored 11 goals last year so it's a reasonable suggestion that £25m for a striker that would score 20 is money well spent. The problem being that you can never guarantee that a a striker will score 20. I don't think many of us would turn down Aguero but he finished the last campaign with 12 goals, imagine last season we had bought him for £30m on the premise that it was all we need to complete the team.
On top of that you could end up with injuries taking Mr 20 goals out for half a season.
Levy and Baldini have to look at our team and work out how to add goals and they have to work out the most cost effective way of achieving this.
Don't get too irate when they decide that a £25m to £30m striker isn't the instant solution.
If Paulinho scores 5 more goals than Parker (0). And Adebayor and Defoe manage to up their combined total of 16 to a not inconceivable 20.
That alone is 9 more goals.
Maybe replacing lennon with Chadli adds another 3 or 4. ( a cost of £7m not £30m)
Siggy not having the unluckiest season in the history of football might add 5 more.
Bale could have a better season thant last year. 3 or 4 more.
The team could have just gelled more finding better fluidity and breaking down defenses easier and as a team score more goals in total anyway. Not taking the first 10 matches to get used to the coach is another plus.
Defensively, a season of Kaboul and Sandro being fit, Lloris starting from day 1 and what looks like one of the most defensive midfield trios in the world will hopefully shore up that goals conceded stat.
(arguably a far more alarming stat)
So fellow spurs, if we sign a striker... Great.
If not, don't panic.
I genuinely think we'll score more this season, concede less. And subsequently break our record points total for the second year in a row.
Obviously nothing is as simple as I've written, but it's definitely not as simple as saying "sell defoe, buy benteke, win the league."

Recognizing PQRI Problems and Improving the Program
CMS has conducted a detailed review of the 2007 PQRI program experience. Approximately 15% of physicians attempted to participate in the PQRI 2007 program, with CMS determining that about half participated successfully and, thus, earned a bonus. While CMS has not released participation/success figures by specialty, many internists who attempted to participate experienced a variety of major problems, including: not qualifying for a bonus they thought they earned; receiving a bonus payment amount less than expected; and being unable to access their reporting and performance scores on the CMS secure website. ACP has repeatedly urged CMS to promptly address the problems experienced by internists and many other physicians. ACP Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer, John Tooker, MD, MBA, FACP, recently participated in a meeting with the CMS Acting Administrator, Kerry Weems, where the agency announced the release of a report that documents the PQRI 2007 program experience and outlines solutions to a number of the problems. This report is available here.
While ACP commends CMS for making recent improvements based on the lessons learned from early program experience, the College is pursuing additional improvements to the program to make it more viable for internists to participate and earn the bonus.

Philadelphia Orchestra will play free, unscheduled show tonight
The Philadelphia Orchestra will make an unscheduled pop up appearance at Verizon Hall in the Kimmel Center tonight. The orchestra was originally scheduled to play Carnegie Hall's Opening Night but that show was cancelled due to a stagehands strike.
The free show starts at 6:30 with pre-concert lobby activities kicking off at 5:30 and doors to Verizon Hall opening at 6 p.m. All seating is general admission. And, there's no reason to break out the suit and tie. All the musicians will be dressed casually and the audience is invited to do the same, according to a news release.
The orchestra will play the music of Mozart and Tchaikovsky and the show will last 75 minutes, with no intermission.
A pre-concert "Conduct the PO" event will give concert-goers a chance to try their hand at conducting some orchestra musicians, according to the release. One person will be chosen to conduct on stage during the concert. The show will become interactive when audience members will get to choose one of the pieces.
After the show, Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin will sign copies of the orchestra's new Deutsche Grammophon CD of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in Commonwealth Plaza.

Six Stark and Summit County managers have been indicted for their roles in a conspiracy to hire undocumented workers at a chain of restaurants, and pay them less than minimum wage and sometimes only in tips, according to Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District.
Prosecutors are also seeking to forfeit more than $16 million generated by the restaurants. Indicted are owners Miguel Castro, age 44, and Monica Castro, age 43, both of Uniontown, Ohio; and managers Cesar Castro, age 28, of Akron; Aldo Castro, age 42, of Akron; Pedro Cervantes, age 39, of Mexico; and Gustavo Torres, age 45, of Kent, Ohio.
"The owners and managers of these restaurants took advantage of their workers' immigration status for their own profit," Dettelbach said.
The defendants face charges including conspiracy to harbor undocumented aliens, aiding and abetting the harboring of undocumented aliens, harboring undocumented aliens, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and mail fraud. Miguel Castro and Monica Castro also are charged with making false statements to federal law enforcement officers.
Since 2002, the defendants owned and/or managed the seven "Mariachi Locos" and "Mariachi Cocos" chain of restaurants with locations in Akron, Stow, Tallmadge and North Canton.

Carly McAndrews says there's a stigma around it.
"Make it more accessible so it's less intimidating for women to buy," she said.
Everything from picking them out to checking out can be embarrassing.
"I bought condoms recently and I did feel very awkward," McAndrews said.
But soon there will be another option.
"They're about making the world a better place; they're about empowering women to make important choices," Jeffrey Hollender said.
Hollender, the co-founder of Seventh Generation, Vermont's biggest eco-friendly company, came up with the new socially responsible business called Sustain. Toxic-free, fair trade condoms made in India set to be in stores by January 2014.
"Wow, I guess I never thought about fair trade and condoms going together," laughed Jessica Anderson, who supports free trade condoms.
"By using fair trade labor, we're keeping children out of the rubber fields. By having a forage stewardship council plantation, we're growing the rubber trees in the most environmentally way possible," Hollender said.
Hollender says Sustain will reduce its own profit margin to provide a safer product at the same price as the competition.
"If you have a fair trade product priced the same way, that confuses the customer. They're thinking, 'Where is the premium I'm willing to pay, that I'm willing to pay to benefit the end worker?' If he's selling it at a loss, that's not a business. That's noble, but that's a charity," said Robert Letovsky, a business professor at St. Michael's College.
Hollender admits it's a condom problem that most people even don't know they have, which Letovsky says is going to be a hurdle for the organic condom company.
"I have not heard about concerns about latex and rubber workers, so he'll have to bring awareness up if there is a problem," Letovsky said.
"The German government tested condoms and found that close to 100 percent had carcinogenic chemicals above the limits determined safe," Jeffrey Hollender said.
"All condom brands are so focused on men; no one is talking to women," Meika Hollender said.
Jeffrey Hollender's daughter, Meika, will be in charge of marketing Sustain. She says the target audience is women 25-35. And according to the company's research, 40 percent of condom buyers are women.
"They want simplicity. They want something that will work and not something that has all these added things that might not work with their body," Meika Hollender said.
Jeffrey Hollander knows a thing or two about new businesses. The entrepreneur has created and sold several throughout his career.
Jeffrey Hollender: Our first manufacturing run will be about 4 million condoms.
Reporter Gina Bullard: That's a lot of condoms.
Jeffrey Hollender: Yeah, but we have a lot of confidence that we will sell those condoms.
But they won't be selling them in drugstores alongside the competition. Sustain is hoping to grab women's attention while they shop at stores like Whole Foods and Sephora. Customers will also find them at OBGYNs and university health clinics. It's a gamble this businessman is betting on.
"If this doesn't succeed, he will find something that will," Letovsky said.
The Hollenders are hiring five people to begin with and hope to hire more as the business grows.
Sustain is also starting a nonprofit that 10 percent of profits will go toward an organization called 10 Percent for Women.

Software: Autodesk 3ds Max Design
In 2008, the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) launched the "Innovation Hotel" website (www.ihgplc.com/innovation), to explore what a thoroughly guest-friendly, high-performance, sustainable hotel might look like in the year 2025. Response to the award-winning site has been extremely positive, providing insightful ideas about the hotel of the future.
"They were definitely terrific ideas," says Robert Stava, creative director of the 3D Media Group at Arup. "The only problem was that they were largely submitted as hand-drawn sketches, together with a few basic 3D renderings, and didn't convey the full potential of the concept. After some consultation, we decided to take cues from the sketches and use 3ds Max Design to help turn them into photorealistic images and animations of these advanced hotels."
"We began by accessing our 3D asset library for elements," says Cortez. "We also went online to find a variety of hotel scenes, with appropriate beds, decor, and so on. That provided about a third of the necessary assets. The rest we created using 3ds Max Design. Autodesk 3ds Max Design has the kind of physically accurate lighting information that helped make our visions much more realistic."
The Arup 3D Media Group created, animated, and delivered eight different concepts to the IHG team, complete with sustainability features. For example, the team transformed a rainwater collection system into an elegant, central feature in the lobby of the hotel. "That has simply never been done before," says Karin Giefer, senior sustainability consultant to Arup's Foresight & Innovation team. "The client was ecstatic with the results."
