John Vincent Leggio
Artistic Director/Instructor
Thank you for your interest in John Leggio's Center for the Performing Arts. Below I have written much of what made me the person and teacher I am today. Experience is important and I look forward to sharing my experiences with all of my students.
My performing career began before I actually took any formal training. At the age of sixteen I traveled throughout the United States singing and dancing for the Miss Teen World Pageant. This opportunity took me to NYC seeing Broadway shows, meeting stars, and performing at the after party for the world premiere of the movie, "Six Weeks," starring Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore. In the audience that evening was Barbra Streisand. I sang and danced for her and many other famous people that evening. The song I performed was called "Life Is a Celebration." I was living in a dream world. This same trip to NYC, I saw the Broadway musical, "CATS." I remember sitting in the second row, dreaming and hoping to be in that show one day. I went back to my home in Kansas City and began formal dance and vocal training. I continued performing throughout Kansas City for the next few years, having the opportunity to work with legendary Broadway composer, John Kander, in the musical, "The Happy Time." I toured with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City for many months, dancing in a number of Operettas and Musicals. I finished High School and went to college at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, as a dance major. On a trip to NYC that winter I auditioned and was offered a job at "Opryland USA" in Nashville, TN. I left college early and went to Nashville. While in Nashville I was cast as a dancer for The Country Music Awards, Tennessee Ernie Ford's America, and the Gary Collin's Christmas special. In the winter of 1985 I traveled to Europe with a group of performers from Opryland. We performed at the American Embassy in Paris, and throughout Germany, France, and Switzerland. Later that year I auditioned and was accepted into the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music as a dance and theatre major. After a few semesters I decided to leave school and pursue my professional career in the performing arts. I performed as a dancer at Walt Disney World in Orlando and as a lead singer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Finally, in 1988, I had the opportunity to fulfill my dream of performing in the Broadway musical, "CATS." I spent one year on tour and three years on Broadway. After three years in "CATS" I was cast in a new Broadway Revival of "My Fair Lady," starring Richard Chamberlain. The experience of working with Richard was a true lesson in humility, dedication, and professionalism. We toured the U.S for eight months before going to Broadway for another eight months. After the show closed, I traveled to Africa and the Philippines with an original musical called "Upside Down."
In 1996 I was cast in the Broadway tour of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor DreamCoat," playing the role of youngest brother, Benjamin. We toured the country for one year before the show closed. This experience was one of the best of my life and it was hard to see it end. In 1997 I was cast in the Broadway tour of "ShowBoat," starring Tom Bosley. I had the privilege to work with legendary director and producer Hal Prince and Tony Award winning choreographer and director, Susan Stroman. I understudied and later performed the role of Frank Shultz alongside Tom Bosley. This was a huge opportunity and a very frightening one as well. In 1998 I returned to "CATS" on Broadway, performing the role of "Tumblebrutus," and also had the unique experience of working on Saturday Night Live, and the Rosie O'Donnell Show on two separate occasions. In 1999 I made a huge life change, and moved to Orlando, Florida to begin a career as a director and choreographer. My first experience came with the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, winning the Weekly Planet's "Best of the Bay" Award for best choreographer for the original musical, "Swing, Swing, Swing." I continued choreographing and directing shows at the Jaeb Theatre in Tampa until 2002 when I became Artistic Director for The Show Palace Dinner Theatre in Hudson, FL, writing, casting, directing, choreographing, as well as performing in numerous shows. My greatest achievement in life came In 2004 when I became the proud owner of John Leggio's Center for the Performing Arts. Now I hope to bring all these experiences and lessons to my students. My goal as a teacher is not to make Broadway performers, but to give my students the tools to use in whatever profession they choose. I believe in passion, dedication, commitment, professionalism, and above all, respect, qualities that will help them in whatever field of work they choose. Thank you for your trust in me.

Longmont meth ring crackdown leads to arrests in Boulder, Weld and Larimer counties
LONGMONT, Colo. - Officers have arrested 21 suspects since Tuesday in a crackdown on what police call an unprecedented drug trafficking operation in Longmont.
Since launching Operation Bad Nickname in March, investigators have seized a large number of guns and broken up a ring that brought 40 pounds of methamphetamine into the community worth $3.3 million in street value, said Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur.
The operation got its name from the suspects giving each other bad nicknames like "Filthy," "White Trash" and "Kid Rock."
Those held in the roundup include Gretta Akin, Bridget Bonin, Arian Melissa Campbell, Ricard Cardona, Josue Aurelia-Castaneda, Nicole Renae DePaolo, CherishFortier, Michael Kaiser, Brike Korte, Donna Lopez, Firchard Matthew Mora, Roseanna Morin, Roy Joseph Nieto, Michael Reed, Terry "Bridge Romero, Randiel Rovnak, Julie Sall, Geraldine "Dom Vodicka, Oraina Nicole Ward and Tamra Jane Wishcop.
"This was probably the most significant amount of meth that we have seen dealt in Longmont in the history of the police department," Satur said. "They were moving large, large quantities of meth in this area. It was unprecedented."
The investigation involved officers from the Longmont Police Department, the Larimer County Crime Impact Unit and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
Satur said the operation began with a local drug case at a mobile home on Highway 287 five months ago and ended with 30 people being indicted on 197 counts last week, Satur said. Defendants face a range of charges, including racketeering, drug possession and distribution and conspiracy.
Starting about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers and agents because rounding up suspects in Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties, police said. All the major players are behind bars and Satur said police expect to have the eight suspects who remain at large in custody soon.
Investigators monitoring wire-taps on telephones for 45 days were able to get an overview of the trafficking operations and round up the ring leaders earlier this month, Satur said.
Undercover officers "were running ragged watching deals, listening to phone calls, watching deals," Satur said. "They were working. They put their lives on hold for this case."
The investigation underscored the scourge of methamphetamine.
"Meth is just a terrible, terrible drug in your community," Satur said. "It's extremely addictive. It tears up families because they start stealing" to support their drug habit, he added. "They break into cars, they steal from our retailers, so this has an impact way down to lower levels."
It was a dangerous operation as police conducted surveillance and eventually arrested dealers who were often carrying guns, Satur said. "We recovered a significant amount of weapons on the street."

Cute but not cutesy, fancy but not fussy, Five is one of those quiet, half-hidden bistros where you wind up on a whim one weeknight, where no reservations (or jackets) are required, where the menu changes daily but you always know you'll find something tasty and fresh, simple yet surprising. Chef Anthony Devoti visits the markets each morning to bring back delights like Yukon Gold potato blini; risotto with lemon, Parmesan and arugula; and a radish, goat cheese and cilantro salad.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that interferes with your brain's ability to operate your body. It can be disabling. Evidence suggests that the disease occurs when your immune system attacks a substance called myelin.
Myelin acts as a type of insulation on your nerve cells. This process can lead to damage in and around the nerves in your brain and spinal cord, as well as nerves involved in your vision.
The disease affects people differently. For example, some people with MS have flare-ups of symptoms interspersed with periods of recovery. This is called relapsing MS. With the type called primary progressive MS, the disease keeps getting worse from the beginning. In general, this type affects you steadily without causing flare-ups or improvement in the condition.
Facts about primary progressive MS
Compared with people who have relapsing MS, those with the primary progressive form don't usually get as much benefit from treatment. They may also have more trouble doing their jobs and their normal activities. Men and women are evenly affected by this type.
About 10 percent of people diagnosed with MS have this type. On average, people with the primary progressive form of MS start having symptoms between ages 35 and 39.
These are symptoms of MS:
Trouble walking—this is especially common with the primary progressive type.
Vision problems
Muscle weakness
Difficulty staying balanced
Prickling sensations
Difficulty thinking clearly
Mood changes
Sexual dysfunction
Trouble with bowel and bladder control
If you have the primary progressive form of MS, it may take your doctor longer to diagnose it. Methods that your doctor may use to diagnose primary progressive MS include:
Discussing your symptoms with you
Performing a physical examination to see how your nerves and muscles are working
MRI scans of your brain and spinal cord; these create images so your doctor can look for signs of damage that suggest MS
A spinal tap, which allows the doctor to remove a sample of spinal fluid to check for signs of MS
A test called visual evoked potential testing to see how well your optic nerves are working
Several drugs are available to treat relapsing forms of MS. But the FDA hasn't approved any medications to treat primary progressive MS. These drugs treat a process in the body that occurs more in the relapsing form than the primary progressive form.
Your doctor may still be able to use one of these drugs in your case. But more likely your doctor will try to provide treatments that relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life. These may address problems like depression, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue.
Experts don't know of a way to prevent MS. But if your body temperature goes up, it may make your symptoms worse for a short time. As a result, you may want to avoid overheating.
Managing this condition
Physical and occupational therapy may be helpful. For example, therapists may teach you exercise strategies and how to manage new symptoms that develop. Your doctor will also probably want to meet with you on a regular basis to monitor your disease.
Regular exercise and getting plenty of sleep may also help.

After completion of an analysis to build an indoor aquatics center, the Town of Elkin rejected the concept of building a new indoor pool.
According to town officials, the plan is cost-prohibitive.
"The indoor pool analysis came at the request of the Board during the retreat," said town Manager Lloyd Payne. "The projected losses for an indoor pool are too substantial for us to consider at this time. Even if a substantial campaign, along with grant funds paid for the pool and no debt service would be incurred, the projected operational loss of almost $190, 000 and that is not something the Board and staff felt could be absorb in these uncertain economic times."

Wine outlets in the village itself tend to belong to the most famous names, with mark-ups to match, but the friendly, informative Aronde Sancerroise, at 4 rue de la Tour, just off the central Nouvelle Place (tel 02.48.78.05.72) offers excellent, free tastings as well as tours of local vineyards. Alternatively, the tourist office, on Nouvelle Place (daily: JuneSept 10am6pm; OctMay 10am12.30pm & 2.305.30pm; tel 02.48.54.08.21) can supply a list of over three hundred vignerons in the immediate area (see also www.vins-centre-loire.com). Most are small-scale, traditional winemakers and welcome visitors on at least six days of the week. The Daumy family, based in Crézancy-en-Sancerre (tel 02.48.79.05.75), has been making excellent organic wines for three generations, including the wonderful but much less commonly made red Sancerre. For a more recherché buy than the well-known white Sancerre, it's well worth exploring the neighbouring areas of Menetou-Salon and Pouilly-Fumé. Well suited to the wines is the local crottin de Chavignol, a goat's cheese named after the neighbouring village in which it's made; signs in Chavignol direct you to fromageries open to visitors.
The stretch of the Loire upstream of Sancerre is particularly lovely, and kayaks are available to rent (tel 02.48.78.00.34) from a shop at the campsite in ST-SATUR, the town at the foot of the hill below Sancerre. The owner, Yvan Thibaudat, is something of a naturalist, and his guided kayak expeditions (€14 for a half day) are fascinating, even if you don't speak French.
The choice of hotels in Sancerre is surprisingly poor, but two utterly charming chambres d'hôtes more than make up for it: Le Logis du Grillon, 3 rue du Chantre (tel 02.48.78.09.45; €4055); and La Belle Epoque, rue St-André (tel 02.48.78.00.04; €4055). The two-star St-Martin, rue St-Martin (tel .02.48.54.21.11; €4070), is comfortable and well run, but for something special you're better off at the Hôtel de la Loire, 2 Quai de la Loire (tel 02.48.78.22.22, www.hotel-de-la-loire.com; €5570), down by the river in St-Satur. An excellent campsite (tel 02.48.54.04.67; closed OctApril) is found a little further along the quay. There are also two fine restaurants in Sancerre: La Pomme d'Or, 1 rue de la Panneterie (tel 02.48.54.13.30; closed Tues & Wed eve); and the more formal La Tour, 31 place de la Halle (tel 02.48.54.00.81), both with menus from around €15. The Auberge Joseph Mellot, Nouvelle Place (tel 02.48.54.20.53; closed Sun, Tues eve and all Wed) serves good, simple meals that are designed to complement its own top-notch wines.

Hello again guys. Time for the reloading newbie to beg for more help.
Anyways, I have been trying to reload 300 win mag now. When I try to seat the bullet, I am getting ALOT of resistance, and it feels like the bullet is getting stuck in there. This only happens with 180 grain bullets. I use some 150 grain with cannelure just to find seating depth and these bullets seat fine and feel fine when seating. However, whenever I try to use the 180 grain bullets, its back to stuck. I thought maybe because the 180s were longer that it was pushing up against the powder, but it does the same with empty cases as well. The 180 grain bullets seat fine in a 30 06 case but have the problem in the 300 win mag. What could the problem be? I am using 180 nosler partitions and ballistic tips and the 150s that work fine are hornady gmx. I use all hornady equipment. I tore the die apart and everything looks fine. Thanks for the help!

The New Mexico State women's basketball team (6-22, 3-10 WAC) travels to regular-season WAC champion Fresno State (24-5, 12-1) Saturday to wrap up the regular season, seeking its first conference road win of the season. Fresno State defeated the Aggies earlier this year 79-54 on Feb. 2 in Las Cruces.
Fans can listen to the game live on the internet and via the Aggie Sports Radio Network on KSNM 570 AM with play-by-play from Kyle Doperalski. Live updates via Twitter can be found at @NMStateAggies. Live stats links are at NMStateSports.com.

The Aggies fell 68-56 at Nevada Thursday after falling at Louisiana Tech 64-50 last Saturday. Fresno State defeated LA Tech 65-62 Thursday to clinch the regular season WAC championship outright.
NM State can clinch the No. 7 seed in the WAC tournament next week with a win over Fresno State or a loss by Nevada at home to LA Tech. The Aggies will be seeded eighth with a loss and a Nevada win Saturday.
Inside the Series with Fresno State
Fresno State has won nine of the last 10 contests between the schools including the last six match-ups after the Bulldogs defeated the Aggies 79-54 on Feb. 2 in Las Cruces. In 2011, the Bulldogs won Jan. 15, in Fresno 76-49 and toppled the Aggies 65-55 on Feb. 21 in a game rescheduled due to inclement weather and power outages in early February.
The Bulldogs also swept both meetings in 2010 winning in Las Cruces 77-67 on Jan. 13, a month before taking a 71-60 victory on Feb. 13 in Fresno. The teams split the season series in 2009 as FS won 69-52 in Fresno after NM State posted its last win in the series, an 80-74 win at home on Jan. 18, 2009.
FS holds a 14-6 advantage in the overall series. Perhaps the most important meeting came in 2008 when the teams met in the WAC Championship game in Las Cruces with the Bulldogs topping the Aggies 72-56.
NM State's lone road win in Fresno came on Nov. 26, 2000 when the Aggies won 75-57 in a non-conference battle in the Fresno State Classic. Since then, the Bulldogs have won seven straight at home with six double-digit victories. In games held in Las Cruces, Fresno State now leads 6-4 after three straight wins in the Mesilla Valley.
The Bulldogs and Aggies split the first four games of the all-time series in the early 1990s when both were members of the Big West. Since NM State joined the WAC in 2005, the Bulldogs hold a 12-3 advantage.
Scouting the Bulldogs
The Fresno State Bulldogs (24-5, 12-1) of the WAC clinched the outright league crown with a 65-62 win over Louisiana Tech Thursday. The Bulldogs are undefeated at home in conference play this season at 6-0 and are 12-1 overall this year at the SaveMart Center a 93-59 loss at home to a ranked Stanford squad.
Fresno State ranks third in the nation in three-point field goals made per game at a clip of 9.7 per contest. Junior forward Rosie Moult is a big reason for that with 2.9 treys per game to rank No. 12 nationally. FS rates No. 5 nationally in turnover margin at 7.07. The Bulldogs rank No. 14 in the country in both assist-turnover ratio (1.09) and assists (16.5).
The Bulldogs score 75.1 points per game to rank No. 12 in the country while shooting 41.8 from the field. FS allows 63.3 points per game and 42.6 percent shooting from the floor.
Junior guard Ki-Ki Moore, a transfer from Washington State, leads the team with 16.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Moult puts up 12.6 points per game and pulls down 5.3 rebounds per contest.
Moore and Moult have started each game they have played this season. Joining Moore at 29 starts this season is senior guard Blakely Goldberg, sophomore guard Taylor Thompson and freshman forward Alex Sheedy.
Last Time against the Bulldogs

NM State put together an 11-5 rally to start the second half and cut the Bulldog lead to 39-36 with 15:17 remaining.

The Aggies shot 45 percent (23-51) in the game and Fresno State matched them at 45 percent (27-60) from the field, but shot 50 percent in the second half. The Aggies won the battle of the boards 37-31. The NM State bench outscored the Bulldog reserves 32-23.
Fresno State opened the scoring with a three after both teams struggled in the first 90 seconds from the field. Sophomore guard Dré Chenier started the Aggies off with a pair of free throws.

Rozendaal shot 8-of-12 from the field including 1-of-2 from long range. The forward made 3-of-4 from the free throw line. She also grabbed four boards and dished out two assists.
Wampler Poised to Move into Second All-Time in Career Starts Saturday
Senior forward Tabytha Wampler, a four-year starter for NM State, has started 119 career contests and played in all 123 games during her time in Las Cruces. Wampler has started every game for the Aggies since Jan. 4, 2009, dating back to her first year in Crimson and White when she earned 2009 All-WAC Freshman Team honors.
The co-captain has started all 28 games so far this season. She also started all 32 games in both the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons.
During her freshman campaign in 2008-09 she started the first nine games of the year. Wampler then came off the bench for the four games over the holidays and later finished the season with 18 straight starts.
Wampler broke out of a tie with Aggie Hall of Famer Anita Maxwell for third on the all-time starts two weeks ago after a pair of starts. With three regular-season games remaining and at least one WAC tournament contest, Wampler could become the NM State all-time leader in career starts by season's end.
Departed senior Madison Spence (2007-11) currently holds the record of 121 career starts set last season after a pair of opening tips at the 2011 WAC Tournament. Spence slipped past the former career leader in all-time starts, Andrea Kabwasa (1988-92), who held the top mark for over 18 seasons at 120 starts.

In his 17th year on the sidelines, NM State floor general Mark Trakh coached his 500th career game as a head coach at the Division I level against Hawai'i in Las Cruces Feb. 16.
Trakh entered the 2011-12 season at 476 career games and a 289-187 (.607) record in 16 seasons. This season the Aggie head coach roamed the sideline in 26 of NM State's 27 games. Trakh did not travel to UMKC on Jan. 4.
Prior to this year, Trakh spent 16 seasons coaching at the NCAA Division I level at both Southern California and Pepperdine. Trakh served as the head coach at USC from 2004-09, where he compiled a 90-64 overall record. Before accepting the position at USC, Trakh had a highly successful 11-year tenure as head coach at Pepperdine from 1993-2004. He ended his tenure with the Waves with a 199-123 overall record.
Seniors Finish Last Regular Home Game in Style
Senior forward Tabytha Wampler matched her career high with 25 points in the final home game of her career. She and her classmates were pivotal down the stretch to bring the Aggies a one-point victory over San Jose State last weekend, 56-55.
NM State trailed by one late, 51-50, with 2:05 remaining after a pair of made free throws. San Jose State answered with a jumper, but the Aggies stayed poised and Wampler found classmate Kelsie Rozendaal on the block, and she was fouled on the bucket. Rozendaal's free throw just rolled off the front edge of the rim, but fellow senior forward Erica Sanchez extended the possession with the offensive rebound.
The Aggies utilized the second opportunity when Rozendaal found Wampler for a layup for a 54-53 lead with 1:08 to play. After San Jose State regained the lead on a jumper, 55-54, freshman guard Simone Ruedin was fouled with 16.8 seconds to play while setting up the Aggie offense. Ruedin proceeded to hit both free throws to give the Aggies a 56-55 lead.
Chenier Notches Season-Best Point Totals at Idaho and Utah State
Sophomore guard Dré Chenier scored a career-high 13 points at Idaho Feb. 9, all in the 2nd half, in an overtime setback. She followed with 10 points at Utah State on Feb. 11 and posted 10 more versus SJSU last Saturday, matching her second-highest total of the season. In all three games she came off of the bench. She was also productive at the free throw line making all seven of her attempts over the three contests. Her 13 tallies against the Vandals was one point shy of her career-high 14 posted against Western New Mexico on Nov. 22, 2010.
Ruedin Scores Career High at Idaho
Freshman guard Simone Ruedin scored a career-high 13 points against the Vandals on Feb. 9 in just her second career start. She scored 10 tallies after halftime to help bring the Aggies back late in the game before an overtime setback. Ruedin has started six of the last seven games after senior point guard Kaitlyn Soto was lost for the season due to injury.
Wampler Nets Season High against Nevada
New Mexico State women's basketball senior Tabytha Wampler posted a season-high 25 points against the Wolf Pack on Feb. 4 during the Aggies' 70-50 triumph. She also grabbed 15 rebounds to post her eighth double-double of the season and 17th of her career.

Wampler finished one point shy of her career high of 26 set against Cal State Northridge last season on Dec. 5, 2010. Wampler also grabbed 14 rebounds against the Matadors that evening.
Soto Suffers Season-Ending Injury against LA Tech
Senior guard Kaitlyn Soto suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half of the Aggies' home game against Louisiana Tech on Jan. 28. The loss of the Aggie point guard to a torn ACL deals a severe blow to the NM State offense.
Prior to the injury Soto was one of two players, along with classmate Tabytha Wampler, to start each game this season. She ranked second on the team in scoring at 9.0 points per game. Soto led the team in minutes played this season at 31.4 per game. She also led the team with 37 assists. Soto ranked second on the squad with 17 made three-point attempts as well as 17 steals.
Soto and Sanchez Sizzle in San Jose
Senior guards Kaitlyn Soto and Erica Sanchez each posted career high point totals of 23 and 20, respectively, at San Jose State Jan. 19. The duo combined for 43 of NM State's 62 points (69 percent) and each guard grabbed four rebounds against the Spartans.
Soto poured in 23 points that included a trio of three-point buckets, smashing her previous career high of 17 matched Jan. 1 against Shaw. The point guard was also a perfect 6-of-6 from the line while playing all 40 minutes of the game.
Sanchez fired in a career-best six long-range threes at SJSU that accounted for 18 of her career high 20 tallies. A crucial jumper from the right side late in the game accounted for the other bucket. Sanchez shot 46.1 percent from beyond the arc but went 1-of-3 inside the line. The new high point total tops her previous best of 16 tallies set earlier this season against Arizona Nov. 21 when Sanchez canned four three-point baskets against the Wildcats.
Aggies' Record Full of Nailbiters
NM State has played in six games, almost a quarter of its schedule thus far, in games decided by a single point. The Aggies are 3-3 in those games including a season-opening win at Houston on Nov. 11, 63-62, and their first home win of the year against UCSB on Dec. 19, 52-51. The latest one-point win came Feb. 18 at home against San Jose State as the Aggies sent their seniors out with a 56-55 win in their final home game.
Two of the three Aggie losses were at the hands of bitter rival New Mexico. The Lobos won in Albuquerque 54-53 on Dec. 4 before sweeping NM State after a 59-58 decision in Las Cruces Dec. 30. The third Aggie one-point defeat was to Southern Utah in the final game of the Hotel Encanto Classic as the Thunderbirds secured a 58-57 win in the final seconds on Nov. 27.
Missed It by That Much
Eleven of the Aggies' 28 games this season have been decided by five points or less. Including its 3-3 record in one-point games, NM State is 3-8 overall in those contests.
NM State lost to rival UTEP, 76-72, on Nov. 16 in overtime. The Aggies fell 56-53 to Boise State on Jan. 7. Both of those contests took place at home in Las Cruces.

The only other single-digit outcomes this season included the Aggies' eight-point victory over Shaw on Jan. 1, 61-53 and a 58-51 setback to Hawai'i at home Feb. 16.
Rosen Posts First Career Double-Double against Utah State
One game after posting a career-high 13 points against Boise State Jan. 7, junior guard Camila Rosen capitalized on her role in the starting rotation. In the WAC opener against Utah State on Jan. 12, Rosen posted her first double-double of her career. She scored 10 points and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds against USU.
Wampler Becomes 19th Member of Aggie 1,000-Point Club and Continues to Move Up the All-Time List
With her game-winning basket against UCSB Dec. 19 with 1:07 left in the game, senior Tabytha Wampler posted her 1,000th career point. Wampler becomes NM State's 19th member of the 1,000-point club with the bucket and third player to accomplish the feat in the past three seasons after departed seniors Danisha Corbett reach the milestone last season and Madison Spence attained the mark in 2010.

Wampler Climbing All-Time Rebound List
Wampler is also doing double duty on the floor this season for the Aggies. She is averaging just shy of a double-double through 26 games this season with 13.6 points and 9.1 boards per game. In 2011, the senior captain has added eight double dips to increase her career total to 17. Wampler posted her latest double-double in conference against Nevada Feb. 4 with 25 points and 15 rebounds.

Trakh Becomes 10th Aggie Head Coach in Program History
New Mexico State athletic director Dr. McKinley Boston announced the hiring of Mark Trakh as the new head coach of the Aggie women's basketball program on April 8, 2011.
Trakh (pronounced TRACK), 55, becomes the 10th head coach in NM State history and has nearly 30 years of head coaching experience, including 16 at the NCAA Division I level at both Southern California and Pepperdine.
This is a milestone season for Trakh. He will coach his 500th career collegiate game in game 24 this season, which will be against Hawai'i on Feb. 16. With 11 victories this season, Trakh will reach 300 collegiate career wins.
Trakh served as the head coach at USC from 2004-09, where he compiled a 90-64 overall record. In his first two seasons, he guided the Women of Troy to their first NCAA appearances in seven years, as the team advanced to the second round in both 2005 and 2006. The Trojans finished in the top half of the Pac-10 all five years and were the conference tournament runner-up in 2009 and regular season runner-up in 2005.
Before accepting the position at USC, Trakh had a highly successful 11-year tenure as head coach at Pepperdine from 1993-2004. Under his direction, the Waves posted six consecutive 20-win seasons from 1997-2003, made six straight postseason appearances and claimed four West Coast Conference titles. Trakh was twice named the league's coach of the year in both 1999 and 2002, and ended his tenure with a 199-123 overall record and a 99-55 mark in the WCC.
Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Trakh had a Hall of Fame career as the head girls' coach at Brea Olinda High School in Brea, Calif., from 1981-93. He helped lead the Ladycats to national prominence with a 354-45 overall record, highlighted by four state titles (1989, 1991, 1992 and 1993), six CIF Southern Section championships and 12 Orange League Crowns. In his final five campaigns, Brea Olinda posted an amazing 161-8 record and did not lose more than two games in any single season.
Trakh Fills Out Coaching Staff with Three Assistants
Assistant Coach Jamie Shadian
Shadian comes to the Mesilla Valley after two seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee State University in Nashville. She joined the Tigers' coaching staff in 2009 and focused her efforts on mentoring guard play, specifically the point guard at the Division I level. The Tigers' 2011 senior point guard responded to the instruction last season to become the TSU assists record holder and place second in assists within the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).
Assistant Coach Tamara Inoue
Inoue joins the Aggie coaching staff after three seasons as an assistant coach at Santa Clara University. She joined the Broncos' women's basketball program in 2008. Inoue's primary responsibilities at Santa Clara involved recruiting, film exchange, scouting and working with the Bronco guards. After six years of playing and coaching in Australia, Inoue joined the staff in Santa Clara. Inoue's playing days in Australia were cut short due to injury. After rehabilitation in the United States, she returned to coach in Australia's Victorian Basketball League (VBL).
Assistant Coach Aarika Hughes
Trakh is very familiar with Hughes after recruiting her to play for him at the University of Southern California. They spent three seasons together in Los Angeles from 2007-09. Hughes graduated in 2010 with a degree in psychology. Hughes spent much of the past year in her home state of Oregon coaching an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) squad named Team Concept, based in Portland. The 6-2 guard/forward finished her career with the fifth-best single-season 3-point field goal percentage of 40.9 when she drained 18-of-44 from beyond the arc in 2007-08 under Trakh.
Aggies Host 16 Games This Season
The Aggies' 16 home games at the Pan American Center is the fourth time in five seasons NM State plays host to more than 15 contests. Along with this year's ledger, here are the prior four season slates with 16-plus games in Las Cruces including a school-record 18 games in 2009-10.
2011-12: 16 (5-11 at home, 6-20 overall)
2010-11: 16 (7-9 at home, 14-18 overall)
2009-10: 18 (12-6 at home, 18-14 overall)
1979-80: 17 (10-7 at home, 22-12 overall)
2007-08: 16 (14-2 at home, 23-9 overall)
Prior to the 2011-12 season, NM State played at least 15 regular season games at home in 12 of its 38 previous seasons. The Aggies averaged 20 wins overall in those dozen seasons while winning at least 18 games in nine of them.

Homemade corn schnitzel
By Tali Simon | June 20, 2013
Homemade corn schnitzel was on my list of Things I Never Expect to Make. (Also on that list would be bissli, cereal, and mozzarella.) But one fine day, Abi Moskovits mentioned on the What's for Dinner Facebook group that she was making exactly that for dinner.
Corn schnitzel! With canned corn, mayo, bread crumbs, and an egg! It sounded so easy. And of course, it was.
I added matzah meal to the batter to give it more body, and coated the patties in these golden breadcrumbs with sesame seeds that I found in my makolet. You can use any breadcrumbs (and add the sesame yourself), though I think the golden crumbs make them look more like the Tivol [or insert your local brand here] schnitzels.
They hold together well during cooking and eating and are packed with corn, the way a purist likes her corn schnitzels to be. (Purist? Me? Yeah.) You could add some shredded veggies, but then you'd have to call them veggie schnitzels. It's your call.
The bottom line is that they taste so good, you'll find yourself going over the ingredient list as you try to figure out what could possibly be so delicious about a corn-mayo-matzah meal patty. I don't get it, either.
They're pretty close to the store-bought kind, only better. Of course.
Where's my ketchup?
One year ago: Photography @ MQP: Fill it Up!
Inspired by Abi Moskovits of My Cakery Bakery
Yield: 11 (2-inch) patties
- 550 grams (19.5 oz) canned corn
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup matzah meal
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp salt
- black pepper to taste
- ½ cup "golden breadcrumbs with sesame seeds" (such as Osem's peirurit zahav im sumsum)
- canola oil, for frying
1. In a medium bowl, mix together corn, mayonnaise, matzah meal, egg, salt, and pepper.
2. Spread half the breadcrumbs on a plate (you may not need the full amount, so start with half and add as needed). Scoop ¼-cupfuls of the schnitzel mixture and form them into patties. Coat completely (sides, too!) with breadcrumbs.
3. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet (start with 2-3 and add as needed). Fry schnitzels three at a time over medium heat, cooking for 4 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second side, or until browned and crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot or room temp.

Sounds yummy. Wonder if there's a way to bake them and not fry…
Along the same lines… If you ever figure out how to make regular parve schnitzels- the soy kind as opposed to the corn kind, I would be forever grateful! I make soy milk and tofu from soybeans and tried using the leftover pulp from the soybeans to make shnitzel… Did not come out too good. Any ideas?
We used to eat these all the time in Israel when I was in seminary. I can't believe how easy they are to make from scratch! I wonder if my kids would eat them.
I tried before to make them with corn and potatoes as the filling, but they didnt hold together well and the kids wouldn't touch them!
These look great though, so i will for sure try!
Kudos! One of my dollies is addicted and I am nervous @ soy containing products. Hopefully this satisfy her need and mine!
yummy yummy! perfect for a beach lunch!
do they freeze well? so i can use them like the original snizels
Could you substitute the matza meal with say, spelt flour, somehow? For a gluten-sensitive kid? Thanks!
Totally need to try this especially because one package of shnitzels costs over 20 sheckels!
make at least double.half of them didn't make it to the supper table
Planning on making and freezing. Perfect for school lunch

Upgrading 11.0.5 to 12.1.1101
Hello all,
I had to upgrade a PC from SEP 11.0.5 to SEP 12.1 RU1 MP1. As far as I know, the recommended migration path for clients and SEPMs is 11.0.5 => 12.1 RU1 => 12.1 RU1 MP1. And that is what I wanted to do.
However, by mistake I pushed a SEP 12.1 RU1 MP1 package to the SEP 11.0.5 server, without the SEP 12.1 RU1 intermediate step. Result: No issues, it is working flawlessly.
Do I misunderstand the migration recommendations, or did I just have good luck?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
11.0.5 => 12.1 RU1 => 12.1 RU1 MP1 is the recommended upgrade path. But it has been observed that many times without the SEP 12.1 RU1 intermediate step also the upgrade will go through without any issues.
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Thanks & Regards Aravind

The Daily Thermostat
Tomorrow I'm going to post about the new season of my Food Network show (it starts up this Saturday!), my trip to NYC with my two girls, Charlie's political leanings (I think you'll be surprised), and the meaning of life.
But today, all I can do is share phone photos of the thermostat in my car that I've taken this summer (most of them in the last week.)
This was a crazy day back in June, I think. I wrote it off as an isolated incident.
But then this started happening.
My girls and I left yesterday and will be back Saturday night…and we're bringing New York weather home with us; it was rainy and 75 yesterday.
But we're definitely leaving the New York traffic behind.
How hot is it where you live?
And how ready are you for fall?
Stay cool, everyone!
I Love Ya,

I live on the central coast of CA. You know that place where the shoot the rockets from..anyway still waiting for a summer..Our average temperture is 69 and foggy and windy! I have my huband take me on car rides to thaw out..I know its summer somewhere..Just not where I live.
ottermom On Friday, August 3 at 6:19 pm
I live near Tulsa. When my car thermometer got to 113, I stopped looking at it. It's more the jump in and hope the steering wheel doesn't burn my hands to a crisp while I'm waiting for the a/c to actually cool the oven that the car has become. I'm from S. Texas and I grew up with extreme heat, but this year and last year have been enough to even make a Texan cringe. That's saying something.

Kay On Friday, August 3 at 7:37 pm
come visit us on the lovely southern Oregon coast Ree. It will be a lovely warm medium 70's tomorrow (Saturday), and feeling it already this evening. We are having awesome weather as anything over 75 is too hot for me…..I looked over to the west and saw a fog bank though , so maybe the ocean headland was foggy and cooler today..But I may be headed for the beach this weekend. Twenty minutes away.. Way too hot your way. I don't know how people survive.. Come visit us !!!!!
Sherrie On Friday, August 3 at 7:42 pm
It has been in the low 70's. tomorrow (Saturday Aug 4th) is supposed to be in the high 80″s. I was thinking of you as I mowed my lush green grass yesterday and wishing I could bundle all this 10 acres up and send it to farmers in need.
Diane B On Friday, August 3 at 9:30 pm
95 degrees at 9 p.m. in SE Nebraska tonight. Am anxiously awaiting a cold front moving through tonight. May see one day in the 80's. Rain, we need you now!

i live in corinth,ms about a 1 hour drive from tupelo (Elvis' birthplace) and the weather here has been in the high 90's but the heat index is the killer 106 to 110. YUCK!!!!!!
Julie On Friday, August 3 at 10:08 pm
For the first time ever, I too took a phone pic of the car temperature a few weeks ago, it was 111 in Iowa! I'm ready for beautiful fall weather.

Here in Nashville (a.k.a. NashVegas), we have had heat index warnings for the past 3 days (102-105 degrees)…Rain clouds are bypassing us and moving further south towards Birmingham. I think I'm going to imitate Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch" and put my underwear in the freezer! That just might be a smart move until fall arrives!
Kelli T On Saturday, August 4 at 12:46 am
The hottest it got here in Southeastern Colorado was 113 but it stayed hot for a LONG time and it is still hot and it's looking like winter/fall/spring will never come again! LOL
Lyndsey On Saturday, August 4 at 6:50 am
Just as hot here in Michigan but we did get a couple of days worth or rain that kind of cooled the place down, just made it more humid in my opinion. I am ready for winter, bring on the snow. I say this now when it actually does snow I will want it to be summer.
Anita Skar On Saturday, August 4 at 8:08 am
Hope you and yours have a safe trip back from NY. Here in Montana it has been in the 90's. Yesterday we had a bit of cool weather come through and we had a nice 70's kinda day. I awoke this morning to 37 Degrees!!!!. A bit chilly but I am sitting here drinking coffee and bound and determined NOT to close the house windows! Have a great weekend.
Donna D On Saturday, August 4 at 8:22 am
Ahhh Oregon! This is when we shine, Salem hit 90 yesterday and should continue for about a week…first week in the 90s might I add. I would be trapped in the house with the AC running full blast at 108- that's just wrong- so our normal low 80s is perfect for this shade lover.
Uta On Saturday, August 4 at 6:35 pm
It must be a horrible summer in many states in the US. Saw pictures on TV. What a pain for farmers! I feel with all of you. Here in the north of Germany we didn't really have a summer. Some hot days with 30 C and a bit above, but with thunder and lightning. And yes, we have rain. But I will not complain when I here about your summer experiences…
AmberStar On Saturday, August 4 at 7:04 pm
We had that awful heat last summer and you sure have our sympathy for how hot it has been in Oklahoma this summer. It got to 100F today here in Ft. Worth.
Caught your show today on TIVO. I'd forgotten about it coming on again and was happily surprised at finding it. In retrospect it might have been a better day for burning something another episode. There were huge wildfires today in OK.
Love your blog and your show on Food Network and have been a reader for many years now.
Margy On Sunday, August 5 at 7:57 am
Ooohhh. I am from Kansas and it has been over 100 degrees for 27 days. We have no grass, the trees are losing their leaves and it is too hot to rake! How are your cows in Oklahoma? Relief today with 70 weather.

We live in northern california-it can get very hot but thank God its a dry heat.

I feel your pain! We are forecast to have a week of 110 plus temperatures here in the Phoenix valley!
Linda On Sunday, August 5 at 9:05 pm
WAY TOO HOT!! Although this evening it has actually cooled down to a level that you could sit outside and the air conditioning has finally shut off! The rest of the week the humidity readings are all still too high for me!
Tonia On Sunday, August 5 at 9:56 pm
I live in north central WA state and today it hit 99, but that's OK, 'cause we grow pears and it'll be cooling back down the the mid- lower-90s which is good pear growing whether — moderately hot days, cool nights make for great pear (and apple) growing weather. MUCH better than last year when we didn't get any "hot" weather until about mid-August and then only for about 2 weeks which just doesn't help pears grow. That's the way farming is — you do your best and then pray that the weather cooperates!
Dee On Monday, August 6 at 2:32 am
I really didn't know where to ask this question. But I am a white dish fanatic. In my defense I was a white dish fanatic pre marth. And while I was watching the Aug 4 show I just loved the serveware you used for the spaghetti and the salad. Could you share with us the brand. It looks like Revol but i can't be sure.
Kathy On Monday, August 6 at 11:59 am
NY (I'm in Jersey) weather is cooler, but we've been having some CRAZY storms. Stay dry and watch out for lightening!
Laura A On Monday, August 6 at 1:38 pm
I can relate to your comments about the heat. We were recently out in western OK in the Vici/Weatherford area (and eventually back towards Tulsa/OK City) for a few days in search of sunflower fields to photograph. When the temp gauge on our truck hit 115 degrees on one of those afternoons, my husband and I just looked at each other in amazement. Whew!
Now, with regards to your new season, I saw last week's show and really enjoyed it. And I love your photo with you wearing green and all those Fiesta servers! I too am hesitant to go with recipes that use cream soups but, you're right, there's a few recipes where nothing else will really do. That salad of your's is something we make quite often (except I use cranberries and our favorite balsamic dressing from the Cindy's Kitchen line of dressings). Have you ever tried Maytag Blue Cheese? It's an outstanding blue cheese with a long, proud history and it's made in the USA (Maytag, Iowa). It's really delicious cheese and I highly recommend it for your salads/recipes.
Looking forward to next week's show!

Not quite hot enough…..I love the hot weathre…never complain about it being too hot…because I know in a few months, everyone will complain about the cold weather….so I do not complain , no matter how hot it gets….I'll take the heat compared to the cold…..cannot stand to be cold……..my bones ache when I'm cold…..and I can never seem to get warm…..haven't use my A/C but a few times this summer….and that was mostly if I had the oven on……I can take the heat……I just stay out of the kitchen…..


text: Does anyone else feel like the current state of pool is depressing, at best? There really is very little action, and not too many tournaments worth playing either! Sure, there are a few guys in each town that will match up (usually the only ones you can't beat, and who don't want to make any adjustments to make a game happen), but most of the time the pool rooms are just filled with a bunch of "Practicing Toms", who, when asked to match up will say something along the lines of, "No, but so-and-so will play you some", if they even offer that much. Then if you DO happen to get matched up, it's usually for some funzie bet like $20. Local tournaments are worse than ever, with most struggling just to get enough players to have a tournament. I have pretty much quit playing over the past 4 years or so, and every now and then I really get the urge to start playing again. When that happens, I'll usually start going to the pool room and hitting balls, for about a week or so, until the realization hits me that it is just as dead as it was a year ago when I did the same thing. So, the cue goes back in the closet not to be seen for another year. Maybe we could all switch to golf? :-)

So, This is What it Takes to be Miss Gay America (Video)

The RFT also captured behind-the-scenes video at the pageant, asking contestants what it took to become the top dog in a pageant whose motto is: "Where boys are boys, and female impersonation is an art."
So no, there are no surgical augmentations below the neck for these contestants.
In one man's words:
"So, it's just like what you would see on television, it's not much different, it's just men wearing dresses and portraying the image of a woman."

The 24-year-old Cameroon international will now travel to the Nou Camp to agree personal terms and undergo a medical, Arsenal announced in a statement on their website.
Barcelona confirmed in a statement the fee for Song will be 19million euros (£15million).
The Barcelona statement read: "Barcelona have agreed a deal with Arsenal for the transfer of Alex Song to the Nou Camp. The fee is 19 million euros
"The Cameroon international midfielder will sign for the next five seasons with a release clause of 80 million euros.
"On Monday he'll have a medical and then join the rest of the squad for the official team presentation at the Joan Gamper Trophy."
Barca, who begin their Primera Division campaign against Real Sociedad on Sunday, face Sampdoria in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Monday evening at the Nou Camp.
Arsenal, who saw captain Robin van Persie move to Manchester United on Friday, began their Barclays Premier League campaign with a goalless home draw against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.
Song sat the match out amid widespread speculation he was on the verge of a move to Barca.
Song, primarily a defensive midfielder, joined the Gunners on loan from French club Bastia in August 2005 before Arsene Wenger made the move permanent at the end of the 2005/06 season.
In the following season he spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Charlton before returning to Arsenal and subsequently establishing himself as a key member of Wenger's squad.
In total, Song has made 204 competitive appearances for Arsenal during his seven seasons at the club, scoring 10 goals.
If he completes his move to Barca, Song would become the Primera Division club's second major signing of the summer after the capture of Spain full-back Jordi Alba from Valencia.
Song would also be following a well-worn path to Barca, with Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Thierry Henry, Alexander Hleb and Cesc Fabregas having all moved from Arsenal to the Nou Camp during Wenger's reign.
Wenger revealed Song had been keen on a move away from Emirates Stadium.
Speaking after Saturday's goalless draw against Sunderland, Wenger said: "He expressed a desire to go to Barcelona.
"It is frustrating, we have learnt to deal with that. I believe as well that the financial potential of some clubs is massive and that makes a difference."
Wenger, however, feels Arsenal have enough cover in midfield.
"We have [Jack] Wilshere coming back, I believe in one and a half months. We have [Abou] Diaby back, we have [Tomas] Rosicky not far away and we might bring another midfielder in as well.
"You have to be patient a little bit [over any new signings]."
Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner is also expected to leave ahead of the transfer deadline.
However, Wenger played down reports the player was set to move to Italy next week.
"He is likely to move, yes, but there is no deal done at all," Wenger said.
