The Music major is a program carefully designed to provide a rich and wide range of musical learning and experience. It combines classroom study, discussions and lectures enhanced by technology with individual instruction, solo and ensemble performance, concert attendance and internships. Students select an emphasis in performance or music history.
The B.A. degree offers preparation in music for students desiring a broad knowledge of music for teaching, research, performance, personal enjoyment, cultural development, or advanced degrees. The total curriculum includes two-thirds of the studies in the Liberal Arts and one-third in Music.
The Music Department offers a Music Ministry Certificate program for persons wishing to pursue music leadership roles in parishes. Essentially a two-year program, it can serve as the basis for a Baccalaureate degree.

Benjamin Fredrickson has become known for photography that melds auteur gay porn with the fashion eye of Helmut Newton—if Newton had much smaller budgets and was into boys.
"There is no veil of perfection to place on a subject," Fredrickson says. "Perfection is the subject themselves. Without exploiting anything, it's more of a celebration."

December 21, 2014
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Valley Authority's plans to promote energy conservation have environmental groups saying the utility should be doing more.
The nation's largest public power provider will spend $22 million next year to encourage customers to use less energy.
But Stephen Smith, the executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, says the Environmental Protection Agency has asked businesses to spend 1 percent of their revenues on conservation. That would be $97 million for TVA.
Utility president Tom Kilgore says the $22 million for conservation is just a beginning. More money is likely to be spent once conservation programs are up and running.

5 days after getting home from camp, I finally feel caught up on things. We have had so many great things going on...company, baby showers, etc., that there just hasn't been time for the normal daily grind stuff.
But, after dragging the kids on a bunch of errands today (why can't someone invent automatic buckling/unbuckling carseats?) I have officially washed and folded all the laundry, stocked up the pantry, fruit bowls, and fridge, paid the bills, made the post office, bank, and library runs, and the house is clean.
Ahhh...what a good feeling =)
I'm so excited because my mom is coming in tonight...along with several of my sisters and brothers. It will be our first time meeting Olivia and Jonas...and we are pumped!

- Project Management (1) (remove)
- The Effects of Project Management Mechanisms on Innovation Performance in Hi-Tech Firms: Mediation of Teamwork Processes and Moderating Effects of Different Team Members' Cultural Values (2011)
- High tech firms increasingly form innovation projects composed of team members with different cultural backgrounds to respond to their customers' needs. Prior studies have regarded these cross cultural innovation projects as an important instrument for developing innovative products, yet little effort has been investigated on the issue of the effect of project management mechanisms (autonomy and control) on these projects and the impacts of team members' cultural backgrounds on different project management mechanisms. Moreover, prior studies have neglected to bridge the gap between the effect of these project management mechanisms on communication and coordination of teamwork processes. Therefore, this study aims to fulfill the gaps in project management and cross cultural study by exploring the effects of different project management mechanisms on several types of innovation performance. In particular, it examines the relationships of these project management mechanisms on innovation performance mediated by the teamwork processes and moderated by the different backgrounds of team members represented by their cultural values. Structural equation modelling was used to test all hypotheses from 434 new product development project team members. The results indicated that control mechanisms had stronger effects on innovation performance than providing autonomy. Additionally, the study showed that all project management mechanisms (autonomy and control mechanisms) had indirect effects on radical innovation and project efficiency through communication and coordination. However, these control mechanisms had indirect impacts on incremental innovation only through coordination but not communication. Importantly, this study revealed that control mechanisms could apply to the team members with different cultural backgrounds in encouraging higher innovation performance. In order to enhance higher innovation performance, the suggestions to apply the appropriate project management mechanisms to their team members with different cultural backgrounds are provided.

Welcome to today's Surrey Live - bringing you breaking news, all the latest headlines from around the county and regular traffic & travel updates.
If there's something you want to tell us about, tweet , post on our Facebook or email Surrey Live .
MORNING EVERYONE: Once again said in like the great cricketer and commentator, Richie Benaud (look him up if you're not sure who I am on about), from a rather overcast Guildford. Welcome to today's live blog on Tuesday March 25. I'm David Stubbings and I will be with you throughout the morning bringing you news, travel and weather.
But the news doesn't stop there, oh no. Get Surrey will be providing you with news until 8pm so do stay with us.
If you see anything you want to let us know about, please tell us using the comment box on the home page, the or on Twitter .
WET WET WET: It's a bit of a damp, and rather chilly, start to the day. Things don't appear to get much better later on either with light rain and grey clouds forecast for much of the day. Don't expect the temperature to get above 7°C either although, according to the Met Office, it's set to feel a couple of degrees cooler than that.
I'd take an umbrella, and a coat, with you to work this morning.
TRAVEL NEWS: Even though the weather is a bit dreary, the plus side is that the roads and train services are currently moving well (hope that's not the curse of the commentator).
Just a quick reminder though for anyone in east Surrey that Woldingham Road in Warlingham is still closed in both directions between the A22 (Godstone Road/B2208 Croydon Road/Burntwood Lane/Succomb's Hill (Wapses Lodge Roundabout) and Bug Hill because of flooding, however all businesses along the route are still open.
Apart from that though, no major disruption at the moment.
FIND A HORSE A HOME: One of our most read stories from yesterday is the one about a group of animal lovers from Chertsey who are trying to find a home for horses which were abandoned in last month's floods.
Sarah and Katrina Lee, who run Katz Dogz pet grooming services in Chertsey, alongside their housemate Tim Noble, have fostered two horses which have been struggling to survive in the wake of the severe flooding.
TRAVEL NEWS: Now the traffic is starting to build up slightly. Reports of it slowing between junctions 4A and 3 on the northbound carriageway of the M3 and around junction 10 (Wisley Interchange) on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 are starting to emerge.
Away from the motorways, slow traffic is also being reported on the A24 Leatherhead bypass.
MORE SLOW TRAFFIC: It's all starting to build in the usual spots now. Southbound on the A322 at Bagshot between the A30 London Road and M3 junction 3, on the A216 Bell Street in Reigate between the B2034 and A25 and Woodbridge Road, Guildford are all slowing.
BREAKDOWN: Meanwhile a broken down mini cab on the clockwise exit of the M25 at junction 8 is causing further delays to some. The taxi is blocking the right lane at the very end of the slip road so that may hold you up this morning.
Also news from Southern about how some of its trains may still be affected this morning after a person was hit by a train at Norwood Junction last night which caused a number of services to be cancelled.
*Service update 0700 owing to to last nights disruptions services may be subject to alteration and short forms. Sorry for any inconvenience*— SouthernRailUK (@SouthernRailUK) March 25, 2014
TOP STORIES: Some more of our top stories now.
A 46-year-old man, who used to live in Ash, has been sentenced to 22 year in prison for sexually abusing three young girls between 2004 and 2011. Guildford Crown Court's Judge Neil Moss told Tony Chandler, now from McInnes Street in Lincoln: "You destroyed many years of their young lives," while his defence counsel said Chandler maintained his innocence.
Elsewhere the remains of Private Leonard Arthur Morley from Box Hill, who died while serving in the First World War have been formally identified. Private Morley was 22 when he died in October 1914. His body, along with nine comrades from the 2nd Battalion The York and Lancaster Regiment, was found during construction work near the village of Beaucamps-Ligny in 2009.
FAST CAR/SLOW TRAFFIC: It's a Paul Weller song but it can also be used to describe some of the roads now.
Here is a list of where the traffic is building at present:
- A22 Northbound between A25 Oxted Road (Naggs Hall Roundabout) and M25 J6/B2235 (Godstone)
- A3 Northbound between B2039 Ockham Road North/B2215 Portsmouth Road (Ockham Park) and M25 J10 (Wisley Interchange)

- M3 Northbound between J4A A327 (Farnborough) and J3 A322 (Bagshot/Lightwater)
TOP STORIES: A couple more of our stop stories now.
Part of Guildford town centre was shut down yesterday after a man was spotted on the roof of a car park. The man, who was said to look as if he was in his late 20s, was seen sitting on the ledge of the roof before police managed to resolve the incident.
Also suspected illegal immigrants escaped from a lorry as it arrived at McLaren's headquarters in Woking last week. A McLaren spokesman said: "We are aware of this incident and while we expect every effort to be taken to prevent such occurrences, this is the responsibility of the haulier and the UK Border Agency."
FAST CAR/SLOW TRAFFIC: Some more locations where traffic is running slowly for you now. They are at:
- Guildford - A25 Parkway inbound before A320 Woking Road (Stoke Crossroads)
- M25 anticlockwise between J13 A30 (Staines) and J12 M3
- Oxted - A25 Westerham Road Westbound between B269 Kent Hatch Road and Brook Hill
BREAKDOWN: The broken down mini cab on the slip road at junction 8 on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 has been removed and both lanes are now open again.
RAIL MEETING: Last week we reported how East Surrey MP Sam Gyimah met representatives from Southern to discuss the company's performance on routes which go through his constituency. Well for Southern passengers a few miles west, the Reigate, Redhill & District Rail Users' Association has its AGM later this week.
#Redhill #Reigate rail users AGM 7:30pm Thursday at Harlequin Redhill. Southern & Network Rail attending to answer questions @SouthernRailUK— Steve T (@RedhillRail) March 24, 2014

- M3 - traffic building up northbound between junction 4A A327 (Farnborough) and junction 3 A322 (Bagshot/Lightwater)
ANOTHER BREAKDOWN: More disruption for those travelling on the clockwise carriageway of the M25. Another vehicle has broken down, this time between junction 9 (A243/A245/B2430 Leatherhead) and junction 10 (A3 Wisley Interchange).
Lane four has been closed off meaning everything is being squeezed into lanes one, two and three.
Congestion is reaching junction 8 (A217 Reigate) so it could take some time to get through.
SHOP EVACUATED: People in Cobham may have noticed a fair amount of smoke coming from the Boots store in the High Street. Fire crews were called after a 'smoke cloak' was activated when a member of staff opened the store.
M25 BREAKDOWN: The vehicle which was broken down on lane four of the M25 between junctions 9 and 10 on the clockwise carriageway has been moved to the hard shoulder meaning all four lanes are open. All four lanes were temporarily closed while the vehicle was moved but all are now reopened however traffic is still queuing back to junction 8.
FILMING PLAN SENT TO CUTTING ROOM FLOOR: Owners of the former Wisley Airfield have had their plans to hire the land out to film producers for the next 12 months rejected by planning officers.
Wisley Action Group (WAG) had argued that plans for further filming were an attempt to establish a new access point. Wisley Property Investments wants to build a town or village on the site eventually.
SIGNAL PROBLEMS: Southern has reported that a signal problem at Hurst Green is delaying trains to and from Uckfield and East Grinstead by around 15 minutes.
SPORT RELIEF: You may be aware, but a little thing called Sport Relief took place over the weekend.
The people of Surrey got in on the act by taking part in runs and swims across the county which helped contribute to the £53m raised nationally.
One swimathon was at Guildford's Soectrum. Freedom leisure area manager, Steve May, said: "There has been a fantastic atmosphere as people have cheered on family and friends in the pool."
Another was in Redhill where 120 people swam at Donyngs Leisure Centre.
ACCIDENT: Traffic heading towards London on the M3 is being slowed by an accident between junctions 3 (A322 Bagshot/Lightwater) and 2 (M25). The road is partially blocked at the moment.
PARKING: After 18 months of surveys and consultations, more parking restrictions will be introduced in Guildford. Restrictions in Onslow Village were agreed at a meeting of county and borough councillors on March 19, along with restrictions for other streets around the town.
BROKEN DOWN TRAIN: A train has ground to a halt between Gatwick Airport and Redhill is delaying trains running between those two stations. That means everything operated by Southern, First Capital Connect and Gatwick Express.
AIRPORT EXPANSION: Bosses at Gatwick Airport have announced this morning that they aim to start construction of a second runway in 2020, if permission is given, with the first planes taking off from it in 2025.
Airport chief executive, Stewart Wingate, said: "If chosen - and with swift decision making - we are committing today to start work on site in the next parliament."
We'll have more about Gatwick's plans online soon.
AIRPORT EXPANSION: Some reaction to the announcement by Gatwick Airport bosses from Surrey's Green Party.

UNBELIEVABLE JEFF: Well how else was I going to start this entry? Bit of an open goal isn't it! I'll leave now if you can't take anymore of that 'humour'.
Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling opened a new third generation (3G) artificial grass pitch (AGP) on behalf of the Matthew Arnold School in Staines on Friday while Drew Spence and Hannah Blundell from Chelsea Ladies joined a training session led by coaches from the Chelsea Foundation.
Jeff said: "This is a really wonderful facility; it's a high-quality space to play football on all year-round. Sites like this are crucial to improving the grassroots game and enabling more people to play the game – and that can only help us develop the next generation of home-grown talent."
Roland Davey, assistant headteacher at Matthew Arnold, said: "This facility is absolutely invaluable to the school; I don't know what we did before we had it. Both pitches are used day-in day-out for everything from P.E. lessons to league matches, to coaching assessments for our pupils. Thanks must go to the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund for helping to make all of this happen."
TRAVEL: Heavy traffic is being reported on A25 Parkway in Guildford before the Stoke Crossroads with the A320 Woking Road. There is also heavy traffic on the A3 northbound at the Hogs Back and slow northbound traffic between junctions 4 and 3 on the M3 and junctions 13 and 14 on the M25.
There are also queues in both directions on the M25 around junction 8 for Reigate.
Southern services to Uckfield and East Grinstead are also experiencing delays of 15 minutes still due to a signalling problem at Hurst Green.
CAR HITS WALL: A Wonersh homeowner has asked Surrey County Council to consider reducing the speed limit along the road that goes past her house after another car crashed through her wall.
Howell and Susanna Harris Hughes have said they've had to deal with at least one accident a year since they moved into Lostiford House, Cranleigh Road, 22-years-ago.
The latest crash was on March 1. Mrs Harris Hughes said: "It happens so often really with people going far too fast, but this one was particularly bad."
JONATHAN BEAUMONT: The family of tragic teenager Jonathan Beaumont, who died after a fight in Addlestone in August last year, has posted a happy birthday message to him on the day he would have turned 18.
The 17-year-old died after a fight in Kingthorpe Gardens on August 26 last year with his funeral taking place in November. Other memorials took place including a football match at Chertsey Town FC.
Last month, 17-year-old Ross Edwards was jailed for four and half years for the teenager's manslaughter.
TRAVEL: There are no major road disruptions at the moment apart from one, which is the B3001 Elstead Road at Milford where there has been an accident between the A3 Milford bypass/A283 and Shackleford Road. However that has just been moved to the side of the road. There are still pockets of slow traffic such as anticlockwise on the M25 at junction 12 (M3) and clockwise between junctions 9 (Leatherhead) and 10 (A3 Wisley Interchange).
ON the trains, there are still delays of around 20 minutes in the Redhill area due to a broken down train between Gatwick and Redhill. This is affecting Southern, Gatwick Express and First Capital Connect and there is currently no estimate for when a normal service will resume.
AIRPORT EXPANSION: More now on Gatwick's pledge to build a second runway by 2025, if allowed.
Bosses are to hold a six-week public consultation process to find out what communities affected by plans for a second runway think of them. However campaigners have described it as having 'some similarity with the recent poll in the Crimea'.
"Whichever option the public choose, the decision has already been taken," said Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign chairman Brendon Sewill.
Airport bosses defended the plans saying: "London Gatwick is the most deliverable place to build a new runway. It can be achieved by 2025, at the lowest cost and at an environmental price that we can afford."
DEEPCUT BARRACKS INQUEST: Human rights campaigners Liberty, acting on behalf of the family of Cheryl James, who died at Deepcut Barracks in 1995, has said the Attorney General's given consent to apply to the High Court for a new inquest into her death.
Cheryl James, 18, was found after being shot in the head. Liberty solicitor Emma Norton said: "The Attorney General's decision gives Cheryl's grieving family a long-overdue chance to discover the truth. Until now their battle for answers has been repeatedly snubbed by a state that views the fundamental human rights of our troops as an optional extra. This young girl was preparing for a career in service – the least her family deserves is justice."
We will have more on this soon.
ROAD ACCIDENTS: Some information from reporter Nick Edmondson about the two RTCs this morning.
Starting off with the M3: A driver has suffered whiplash in a crash on the M3 this morning. A blue Honda CR-V and a silver VW polo collided on the London-bound carriageway between junctions 2 and 3, near Trumps Green, Virginia Water, at 8.30am.
ROAD ACCIDENTS: More from Nick Edmondson about the collision in Elstead where a three vehicle crash blocked a road.
A green Skoda Octavia, a single decker bus and a white Ford transit van crashed at 8am on Elstead Road.Police report that the vehicles were severley damaged, but all drivers and passengers escaped without injury. The vehicles were recovered and the road cleared by 9.15am.
TRAVEL: There are still problems for Southern services heading to and from Uckfield and East Croydon via Oxted.

BEER: Don't worry this is not a statement of what I'm doing (although I'm sure it grabbed your attention), but news about a beer festival.
The Dorking Beer Festival has announced its dates for this year's events. It will be held from Friday March 16-Saturday March 17 at Friends Life, Pixham Lane and feature more than 20 beers including Dorking Brewery, Surrey Hills, Pilgrim, Tillingbourne, Ascot, Hogs Back, Little Beer.
There will also be meat, cheese and the SCB Scalextric Grand Prix which is raising funds for The Brain Tumour Charity and allow festival-goers to race against each other for the Dorking Beer Festival 2014 Grand Prix trophy. No word on whether Fleetwood Mac's The Chain will be played during that bit though.
DEEPCUT BARRACKS INQUEST: Here is more about the Attorney General giving permission for the reopening of the inquest into the death of army recruit Cheryl James.
A spokesman for Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC said: "The Attorney General granted his consent because he concluded that it was in the interests of justice for the application for a new inquest to go forward and to be heard by the High Court."
Private James was one of four young recruits to die at Deepcut in unexplained circumstances between 1995 and 2002. Private Sean Benton, 20, died in June 1995, followed by Pvt James, then Private Geoff Gray, 17, in September 2001 and finally, Private James Collinson, 17, in March 2002.
TRAVEL: Good news for those who use the train in the Oxted area.

AIRPORT EXPANSION: Off the back of the announcement earlier this morning about Gatwick Airport's intentions to start work on a second runway in 2020, airport bosses have also released two new images showing what the airport could look like.
TOP STORY: Still one of our most read stories this morning; the piece by reporter James Chapple about a man, formerly from Ash, who has been jailed for 22 years for sexually abusing teenage girls.
Tony Chandler, 46, from McInnes Street in Lincoln, was sentencing after being convicted of 18 charges, including three of rape and 11 of sexual activity with a child, in February. However he still maintained his innocence as Judge Neil Moss told him: "The consequences for her [one of his victims] can't really be underestimated."
TRAVEL: No real problems on the road at the moment. There's heavy traffic in Woking along A320 Victoria Way around the Peacock Centre but apart from that everything appears to be moving freely.
TEACHERS' STRIKE: As some of you are probably aware, teachers are striking tomorrow about pay and pensions.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: My mum has just been granted British citizenship, seems like they'll let anybody in these days... except these guys who escaped after jumping from the back of a lorry at McLaren in Woking on March 20. Since then a man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of assisting with unlawful entry to the UK but was later released with no further action taken.
HANDBACK: That's it from me folks. I'll leave you in the safe hands of Digital Dave Stubbings for now. Peace out and keep it real Surrey.

TEACHERS' STRIKE: Some more information about tomorrow's teachers' strike. We've already provided a list of schools which are either closed completely or partially shut because of industrial action organised by the National Union of Teachers (NUT), but here is some more information about what's going on and why.
COMPETITION: Yes that word in bold and capital letters is bound to attract some attention. And thanks to Guildford Odeon you can win a pair of tickets to a film of your choice at the cinema. All you have to do is click on the link and answer the question on it.
It really is as simple as that - so long as you do it by Tuesday April 1.
EGGCELLENT DONATION: Housebuilding firm Taylor Wimpey has donated £100 to Holland Junior School's Easter fundraiser.
The firm, whichi s building homes in Meridian Square in Hurst Green, gave the donation to the Oxted school's donation which will provide prizes for two competitions taking place in the run-up to the event - a 'decorate an egg' contest and an Easter egg hunt.
Ann-Marie Saumarez, from Holland School Association, says: "We wanted to make things really exciting and fun for the children as well as trying to raise money, so being given such a substantial donation for prizes means we can make more profit for the school."
Jason Stokes, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey, added: "We are delighted to continue our association with Holland Junior School, as we are committed to supporting the communities in which we build our new homes.
"I hope Holland School Association had a very successful Easter Eggstravaganza Event, providing lots of fun for the pupils as well as raising plenty of money for the school."
The event took place on Saturday March 22 with each class at the school organising small games in their classrooms, a tombola and raffle in the school hall.
TEACHERS' STRIKE: We have another partially closed school to add to tomorrow's list of schools affected by the NUT strike.
St Paul's C of E Primary School in Addlestone will also be partially closed.

The new quintet will appear at Guildford's Boileroom on March 31.
He said: "Little Matador is very different to Snow Patrol. It's more aggressive rock, dirty, sleazy, brutal, a lot rawer, but still has the melodies. It is gritty, sexy, rock and roll."

BOGUS REPAIR WORK: Surrey Police is trying to find a man who is believed to have conned an elderly man out of more than £200 for uncompleted repair work in Ashford.
The suspect called at the victim's home in Tudor Road on several occasions after Monday March 3 saying that his gutters needed cleaning. A week later he returned saying he completed the work while the homeowner was out and demanded payment.
On Tuesday March 11 he visited again, telling the elderly man that some roof tiles needed replacing and demanded payment for that work.
A final visit took place two days after that. However the victim's daughter was at home and answered the door. The suspect is then said to have made a quick exit and drive off in what is thought to be a blue van.
BOGUS REPAIR WORK: The suspect is described as a white man, in his 20s, approximately 5ft 5ins tall with a bald head and a Scottish accent. It is also said that he had a green fleece on with what looked like a T&S Property Maintenance logo on it.
PC Lorraine Patter said: "This conman clearly carried out a cowardly and targeted act on an elderly man in his own home.
"Over the course of several days the offender made repeated visits to prey on this man and managed to obtain over £200 for uncompleted work to his house.
"A number of enquiries have already been carried out to try and track his man down, but I am appealing to anyone who may have seen or heard anything relating to this man being in the area between 3 and 13 March to contact us as a matter of urgency.
"This is a despicable act by a man who was clearly gaining in confidence by increasing his visits."
Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference 45140021501 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
EVACUATED BANK: A bank in Redhill was evacuated this morning after a burning smell was noticed. Fire crews from Reigate, Crawley and Godstone descended on Barclays in Redhill town centre at around 9.20am.

GATWICK EXPANSION: We've been getting some reaction to our story about Gatwick Airport's expansion plans.
The airport, located on the Surrey/Sussex border, believes it can start construction of a new runway - if it gets the go-ahead to expand over Heathrow - by 2020.
But you're not so sure..
@GetSurreyAmy @Gatwick_Airport Never going to happen. Expansion was/is always destined to take place at #Heathrow not #Gatwick.— Nibbs (@nibbs007) March 25, 2014
GATWICK EXPANSION: But Gatwick Airport is confident that its proposals are stronger than Heathrow's, despite local residents' fears that expansion at the site will destroy towns such as Charlwood.
@Gatwick_Airport The environmental impact will be catastrophic on places like #Charlwood. Gatwick not operating at capacity on one runway!— Nibbs (@nibbs007) March 25, 2014

WEYBRIDGE ASSAULT: Police are appealing for witnesses to an altercation in Weybridge on Sunday.
A 38-year-old man was getting food from a kebab van parked outside Waitrose in the High Street at around 1.20am when, following an altercation involving other people in the queue, he was punched by another man.
He fell to the ground unconscious, and was later taken to hospital with head and facial injuries including a fractured cheek bone.
The alleged offender is described as white, between 5ft 7ins-6ft tall, around 20 to 25-years-old, with short brown hair and facial stubble. He is believed to have been wearing a pink shirt, grey hooded top and jeans.
It is believed he got into a taxi with another man and woman after the attack and left the scene in the direction of Addlestone.
WEYBRIDGE ASSAULT: Investigating officer Police Constable Yvonne Tatchley said: "This was a completely unprovoked attack and I would like to appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or the events surrounding it to contact officers with information.
"I particularly would like to hear from the taxi driver or the suspect's associates.
"It is possible that those involved in the incident have spoken to others since it took place, and I would ask anyone who has obtained information to contact officers."
Anyone with information should contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference 45140022605.

MANIFESTO FOR CHANGE: East Surrey MP Sam Gyimah hosted an event in Parliament this week with Lingfield charity Young Epilepsy.
On Monday, the politician and charity marked the launch of the Manifesto for Change introducing a requirement to have appropriate and tailored support in place for young people with epilepsy in every school.
Teachers, health practitioners and policymakers came together to look at how the Act could be rolled out.
My Gyimah, vice-president of the charity, said: "The Children & Families Act is a real game-changer for our school system and the support offered to young people with conditions like epilepsy. The challenge now is to ensure that this change is successfully and consistently applied across the country, to give every young person the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
"Young Epilepsy are doing a fantastic job leading the way, whether by producing new resources to assist schools during this transition or by driving forward the national discussion on caring for pupils with epilepsy."

Centre owner David Mills said Snuffles had "pride of place" at the main entrance, welcoming visitors to the centre.
TRAVEL: The accident I mentioned earlier - on the M23 southbound between junction 7 and junction 9 - has reportedly been cleared.
HANDOVER: Hello everyone. It's Laura here and I am just stepping in for Amy while she takes a well-earned tea break.
I think she is heading outside - which is looking grey, but the good news is that it is not raining.
Looking ahead at the rest of today's weather, there could be a touch of rain at around 5pm, but it will quickly clear with the rest of the evening staying dry with highs of 6 degrees.
TRAVEL: As we approach the evening rush-hour, let's start by looking at the roads.
Amy has already mentioned a few sticky spots, but we have further reports coming in of more delays in the area.
BAGSHOT - there is slow traffic on the A322 southbound between the Coral Reef Roundabout and the M3 Junction 3 for Lightwater.
HASLEMERE - there are reports that Haslemere Road is partially blocked and as a result there is queueing traffic due to an accident involving two vehicles in the Gasden Lane area.
The caller reports that the incident happened somewhere between Godalming and Haslemere.
We are awaiting further details.

Surrey Police is tweeting about an accident in Haslemere.
PRISON: A man who punched a stranger at a Milford petrol station, fracturing his jaw, has been sentenced to 21 months behind bars.
Shane Hadderton, 25, appeared at Guildford Crown Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to hitting another man at the Esso garage.
The attack, which prosecutor Simon Shannon described as a "chance encounter", took place on September 21 last year.
CELEB: Hugh Grant is to judge an anti-third runway Heathrow video contest.
The competition has been launched to highlight opposition to future plans at the airport, with the winning entry set to be judged by the British actor.
The idea came after the campaign group Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise teamed up with Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith to launch a nationwide competition for people to create two-minute videos.
The finalists will be shortlisted and put before a celebrity judging panel headed up by Grant on June 18, with a £10,000 prize presented to the winner at Richmond Theatre in front of 800 guests.

APPEAL: Detectives from East Surrey CID are appealing to members of the public, particularly those involved in the construction trade, to assist with a burglary investigation.
The manager of a construction site on Hobbs Industrial Estate in Newchapel contacted Surrey Police on the morning of Monday to report a burglary at the location.
A number of tools, including various cutting devices and products designed for use on railways were stolen during the break-in.
TRAVEL: An accident in Haselmere is causing lengthy tailbacks. Avoid the area if you can.
The A286 Grayswood Road in both directions is closed between Lower Road and Park Lane.
The closure is a result of an accident involving two vehicles near to the garden centre and Lower Britley Farm House.
The air ambulance is in attendance.
TRAVEL: Parkway out of Guildford is busy but moving at the London Road roundabout.
In Farnham, the A31 Farnham By-Pass is also busy but moving at Hickleys Corner.
APPEAL: Police search for information after more than £20,000 worth of tools were stolen in Newchapel.
Investigating Officer PC Michael Barker, said: "Either these items have been stolen to order by people in the construction trade or they have been taken to sell on. If you have been offered them for sale I would appeal to you to contact officers with information.
"Anyone thinking they could save money by purchasing items like these at a lower price should be warned that they are security marked and if we find them, they will be recovered and returned to their rightful owner. In the long run you are likely to lose out financially and may even end up with a criminal record."
Anyone with information on this break-in is urged to contact officers on 101 quoting reference 45140022913. The independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
HANDOVER: It may have been short, but it was certainly lovely spending my last hour at work chatting to you.
I will pass you back over to Amy who will lead you through to 8pm.
Have a good evening and a safe journey home.
I'M BACK: Evening all, yes I'm back - but not in a scary, Terminator way. I'm back to bring you all the latest traffic and travel information and news as we head into the evening.
So be sure to let me know what's going on where you are by tweeting @GetSurreyAmy using #SurreyLive or emailing Surrey Live .

When LeBron James announced that he would be "taking his talents" to South Beach, he probably wasn't referring to his skills with social media, let alone social justice. But he could have been.
Admittedly, it's far too easy to criticize "The King." He's been called "The Whore of Akron" for not staying with his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's a nonstop highlight film who has yet to win a single championship ring (let alone two, three, four, five, or six). He wants to be like both Nike icon Michael "Republicans buy sneakers, too" Jordan and athletic pioneer for social justice Muhammad Ali.
"But James did something last week that didn't allow for any of that murkiness, gathering his teammates for a symbolic, bowed-head-in-hoodies photo in support of murdered black teenager Trayvon Martin—a team photo unlike any ever taken," Dan Le Batard wrote in The Miami Herald. "It was only the kind of statement Muhammad Ali and John Carlos used to make—and one that Michael Jordan never did."
The photo received much attention, and prompted other athletes to speak out in support of Trayvon Martin and against the practice of racial profiling.
James wrote "R.I.P. Trayvon Martin" on his sneakers during the game in Detroit (suburban Auburn Hills, really). Heat teammate and co-perennial MVP candidate Duane Wade noted that last Christmas, all his sons wanted hoodies. Even the NBA Players' Association took a stand.
"The NBPA is saddened and horrified by the tragic murder of Mr. Martin and joins in the chorus of calls from across the nation for the prompt arrest of George Zimmerman," its statement reads, noting the "racial bias in this matter and others."
Connections between the Trayvon Martin murder and the NBA abound. The Miami Heat were Martin's favorite team. He was getting a snack during halftime in the televised NBA All-Star Game when he was shot and killed. Martin, like the overwhelming majority of NBA players, was an African-American male. And even after his death, he has received round-the-clock criticism for wearing a hoodie, criticism that is far too reminiscent of the NBA Dress Code.
The NBA, for its part, represents the best and worst with regard to race relations and sports in the U.S. In an age when you can count the NFL's African-American head coaches on one hand, and the number of African-Americans playing baseball diminishes with each year we celebrate Jackie Robinson's legacy, the NBA has a far higher percentage of African-American coaches and general managers than its professional sports league counterparts. It is a relationship that has benefited the NBA at least as much as African-American athletes and team managers.
In the early 1980s, Commissioner David Stern marketed the then-struggling NBA with an urban image that allowed his league to ride the birth of hip-hop out of sports mediocrity. Stars like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan led the way to the league's golden age, when the NBA was arguably the most popular sport league in America. Lately, however, the appropriately named Commissioner Stern seems to be looking at his league through the eyes of Dr. Frankenstein, wondering how he can reign in his monstrous creation.
Several years ago, the Commissioner hired Matthew Dowd, former public relations specialist for the Bush Administration, to give the NBA more "red state appeal." Soon after, Stern instituted a corporate dress code for all players sitting on the bench, explaining, "We want our players to look like the fans buying tickets to the games." Fans, apparently, like Geraldo Rivera.
Many have questioned the motive behind the dress code. "David Stern has made it very clear that the league is going to be hypersensitive to what he refers to as gangster culture, or hip-hop culture. He uses the words very interchangeably, without realizing how profoundly offensive that is," notes Dave Zirin, sports columnist for The Nation. "When you break it all down to thuggish behavior, it becomes a form of racial profiling. We determine that you're a criminal element based on the way that you dress, or the way that you talk."
It seems absurd that George Zimmerman would feel threatened by Trayvon Martin wearing a hoodie. Or does it, David Stern?

At least one big cruise line has decided to court the solo travel market. Norwegian Cruise Line's new Norwegian Epic has 128 "Epic Studios" designed for single occupancy. Although a few other big cruise ships have a few single cabins, the Norwegian Epic is the first megaship I know of where the single cabins represent a serious effort to target the solo traveler market, not just an afterthought.
Those studios are unlike anything else in the major-line cruise inventory. At 100 square feet they're smaller than even the typical river cruise cabins. In fact, they're about the same size as the rooms in Formule 1 and other low-end French motel chains, although each does have a separate shower, sink, and toilet. Cabins provide a full-size bed, flat-screen TV, and small desk. All studios are inside, and some have connecting doors to others. For more personal space, studio occupants have access to a dedicated two-story "studio lounge" where you can mingle with other singles or get a cup of morning coffee or an evening drink.
Pricing seems attractive to solo travelers. For summer seven-day cruises, studio cabins generally go for $150 to $200 more than the least expensive per-person rate for an inside cabin. Where the inside cabins start at $649 per person, the studios start at $799; when the inside cabins start at $799 per person, the studios start at $999. Those prices are the equivalent of a single supplement of 23 percent to 25 percent, a better deal than the 50 percent to 100 percent supplement most mass market cruise lines charge for single occupancy of a double cabin. Norwegian's studio cabins represent the best offering I've seen for travelers who really want to cruise solo.
Of course, you have alternatives.
-- Some other big-ship cruise line ships have at least a few cabins designed for single occupancy. Check with any of the big online cruise agencies for possibilities.
-- Carnival has a reputation for low single supplements. Several postings on the Website Cruise Critic (www.cruisecritic.com) report promotional single supplements that are often very low. And the high-end cruise lines generally charge small supplements -- or even none -- although even the no-supplement rates on these ships are far higher than you'd have to pay on a mass-market line. And some small-ship "niche" cruise line ships have single cabins.
-- If you're willing to share, many cruise lines or cruise agencies will match you with another single of the same sex, so you pay only the per-person rate. A few actually "guarantee" a match: If they can't find a match, you still get the per-person rate. Or if you prefer, you can arrange your own match through one of several travel-matching organizations. But many singles I know really don't want to share cabin accommodation with anyone, and the studio cabins represent an attractive option.
-- If you're willing to gamble on finding what you want, you can also wait until a month or so before you want to leave to check last-minute deals. I've often seen "no single supplement" or "reduced single supplement" deals on last-minute promotions. And I sometimes see per-person rates cut so much that even with a 50 percent supplement, single occupancy is a great deal.
Despite these options, many solo travelers will welcome Norwegian's new approach. If you're interested, contact Norwegian (www.ncl.com) or one of the big online agencies.
Send e-mail to Ed Perkins at firstname.lastname@example.com. Perkins' new book for small business and independent professionals, "Business Travel When It's Your Money," is now available through www.mybusinesstravel.com or www.amazon.com
