As parents of school age kids, we've mostly made the shift from being woken up to waking the kids up. But waking the kids up each morning is only part of the job. I'm pretty sure, in fact, that the four most common words I say every morning are "put your shoes on". My kids aren't so hard to wake up, and they pretty much get through the eating breakfast, brushing teeth routine on their own, but the shoes? Every single morning. "Put. Your. Shoes. On". Over and over and over again.
This weekend is the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, and there is a cool campaign amongst a group of rabbis and others to get the #Torah hashtag to the top of the most popular list. So there has been a lot of tweeting Torah today, and I am enjoying the 140 character at a time learning.
This morning, Rabbi Sari Laufer (@RabbiLaufer) tweeted: "Midrash: The night before receiving the #Torah, the children of Israel slept all of that night,& Moshe had to rouse them to receive #Torah."
I've been thinking about that rousing, what it meant at Sinai and what it means in our generation. Yesterday I had the extraordinary privilege of learning with Rabbi Yitz Greenberg. At one point, he was asked about the generation gap. His response: for hundreds of generations, from Sinai to today, parents have had to teach their children that this (Torah, community, Judaism) is relevant and meaningful.
For hundreds of generations, we have had to wake our kids up. Yesterday's learning was part of a conversation convened by the Schusterman Philanthropic Network, The Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies, and our team at NEXT: A Division of Birthright Israel Foundation. We were there to hear from Birthrighters themselves and their peers – innovators and entrepreneurs throughout the Jewish community who are helping us think about how to think about Birthright, the gift of a free 10 day trip to Israel, and the days, months, and years that follow that trip.
In many ways, for many participants, Birthright Israel is that waking up, the rousing to receive Torah – in the most broad sense of the word. And it does a pretty good job of that.
But Birthright Israel doesn't make breakfast. It doesn't remind you to pack your backpack. It doesn't nag you to put on your shoes. And it doesn't do what is my ultimate goal with my kids – get you to the point where you do all these things on your own because it just makes sense to you.
That job – the backpacks, the shoes, the understanding of relevance and applicability, that's up to the rest of us. I'm honored to work with a group of people who think about this everyday. But we can't think of it alone. Whatever your background, whatever your religion (or lack thereof), it is our role to pass our values on to the next generation. How are we doing that? And what are they passing up to us? And how do we all get to a place where we don't need to be reminded to put our shoes on?

How Claims Work
Policy & Process
Our policy is to respond to claims promptly and fairly, and to make the process easy for you. In our evaluation of your claim, we may review records, interview witnesses or employees, and perform a technical evaluation. You can help by providing thorough and accurate information and documentation.
We evaluate each claim individually, and determine:
- If losses occurred due to our negligence
- How the incident happened
- The extent of damages
- What the law considers fair compensation
Our goal is to reach a decision on most claims within 30 days of receipt. The process may take longer when complex issues are involved, when further information is needed, or when extenuating circumstances are present. Once our investigation is complete, we will contact you with our conclusion.
If we accept responsibility for your property damage claim, we will reimburse you for either the repair cost, actual cash value, or the replacement cost – whichever is lowest.
Claim Responsibilities
Our Responsibilities
Generally, we are responsible for losses that occur due to our negligence. However, in many instances, we are NOT responsible for power outages, voltage fluctuations, food loss, or property damage that occur due to forces outside our control, such as earthquakes and weather-related conditions including wind, rain, fog, lightning, or extreme heat.
We are committed to providing a continuous and sufficient supply of electricity to our customers, and to avoid any shortage or interruption of delivery of service. We are not, however, responsible for interruption or shortage of supply, nor for any resulting loss or damage, if such interruption or shortage results from any cause not within our control.
For the complete text on interruption or shortage of supply, visit Tariff Rule 14 – Shortage of Supply and Interruption of Delivery.
Your Responsibilities
To help ensure a smooth process for your claim, we recommend that you:
- Retain copies of all receipts and documentation that you submit to us
- Do all that you can to minimize your loss and damages, (such as by obtaining ice to prevent food spoilage during an outage)
- Please make sure that losses or expenses incurred (e.g., storage, car rental, etc.) are not accumulating unnecessarily
Documentation Needed
You can help us process your claim more quickly by completing your claim form thoroughly, and by providing supporting documentation. Documents may include:
- For claims regarding property damage: repair estimates, invoices, proof of purchase
- For personal injury claims: medical records, receipts; in cases of lost wages: employer verification, payroll stubs with hourly rate of pay
- For business loss claims: tax records, bank statements, payroll records, revenue and expense statements, sales receipts
- For claims regarding food loss: itemized list detailing spoiled food, with receipts or documentation of cost.
How To Submit A Claim
The first thing to do when filing a claim is to gather all supporting documentation; be sure to retain the originals of any paperwork you submit. For your convenience, there are 2 ways you can submit your claim to us:
- Submit Your Claim Online. You may file your claim entirely online. You will be prompted through a 4-step process and can upload images and files to support or document your claim. Please have all documentation ready before you begin.
- Submit a Claim Form By E-Mail, Fax or U.S. Mail. To submit your claim by any of these measures, please complete a residential or business claim form (PDF) and return it to us along with all supporting documentation. If submitting by e-mail, please attach all applicable supporting images or files in addition to your completed form. If submitting by fax, be sure all documentation is clearly marked with your name or business name, service account number and contact information.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Fax: (626) 569-2573
US Mail: Southern California Edison Company, Attn: Claims Department, P.O. Box 900, Rosemead, CA 91770
Note: It is not necessary to submit a Claim multiple ways as this may only lengthen the claim processing time.
Your Claims Options
As another option, you may choose to file a claim with your insurance company to reimburse you for your loss, less your deductible; your insurer may then choose to present a claim to us to recover compensation paid to you.
Denied Claims
We review all claims thoroughly. If your claim is denied, we will explain the reasons for the denial. You have the right at any time to file a civil action, including a small claims action. The statute of limitations on filing a claim is 3 years for property damage, and 2 years for bodily injury.

Everybody wants to lose weight. No matter how big or how small they are, it seems that someone always has a few pounds they'd like to shed. But, with all the weight loss products and programs on the market today, how do consumers know what program to use?
When thinking about it, it's pretty simple. Do the sensible one. Select the program that doesn't sound too good to be true or makes promises it couldn't possibly keep. There are no "magic pills" that melts fat away or causes the body to suddenly look like the person has been spending months in the gym working on their abs. Selecting the right weight loss program for each individual depends upon their ability and desire to commit to change and take responsibility for what they eat.
One cannot keep eating the way they currently eat and expect the body to look any different than it currently does. A change in the body requires a change in thinking as well as a change in eating. Only the dieter can be responsible for what they choose to put in their mouth. For the most part, the public is well aware of what foods are good for them and which ones go straight to the thighs!
In all fairness, Americans are more overweight than ever before because they have been victimized by media misinformation. Just a few short years ago, Americans were told to eat unlimited high volume, low fat foods like pastas, breads and cereals. Unfortunately, this campaign was funded, for the most part, by industries who manufacture those kinds of foods.
What Americans were not told however, was that extensive exercise would also be needed if they ate a high carbohydrate diet. Even fat-free bread will ultimately turn to fat on the body if the body is not active enough to burn up all the sugar (glucose) that carbs create. When considering it takes fifteen minutes of jogging to burn off one slice of bread, and that the majority of Americans do not exercise regularly, is it any wonder that Americans are all growing at alarming rates with diabetes now at an all-time high?
So what should be done? Here are some ideas.
Don't diet. Create an eating plan for oneself that fits into a lifestyle and can be maintained forever. Temporary change only provides for temporary results.
Honestly evaluate eating habits and identify problem food areas like cravings for sweets or carbohydrates.
Find alternatives to the problem foods that are both satisfying and healthy such as low-fat frozen yogurt instead of ice cream or fat free pretzels instead of chips.
Eat high protein, low carbohydrate meals and drink lots of water daily.
Get a buddy. Staying motivated is key to long-term weight loss success. If on a good weight loss program, a counselor can help direct eating habits while giving motivation to achieve the goal.
Exercise whenever possible. There are a lot of safe and effective herbal products available to help boost an inactive metabolism and take the edge off any appetite. Be sure the product selected offers personal assistance and counseling.
Every person is different and so is their tolerance to herbs. Dieters will want to use products that can be customized to meet their unique physical and medical requirements.
The main thing is to not become discouraged. The weight did not come on overnight, and likewise, it will not come off overnight either. Patience is important. See every pound lost as a personal success because it is.
With a little perseverance and belief in ones own ability to achieve their weight goal, nothing can stop them from losing those unwanted pounds.

42 U.S. Code § 7651j - Excess emissions penalty
(a) Excess emissions penalty
The owner or operator of any unit or process source subject to the requirements of sections [1] 7651b, 7651c, 7651d, 7651e, 7651f or 7651h of this title, or designated under section 7651i of this title, that emits sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides for any calendar year in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or, in the case of sulfur dioxide, of the allowances the owner or operator holds for use for the unit for that calendar year shall be liable for the payment of an excess emissions penalty, except where such emissions were authorized pursuant to section 7410 (f) of this title. That penalty shall be calculated on the basis of the number of tons emitted in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or, in the case of sulfur dioxide, of the allowances the operator holds for use for the unit for that year, multiplied by $2,000. Any such penalty shall be due and payable without demand to the Administrator as provided in regulations to be issued by the Administrator by no later than eighteen months after November 15, 1990. Any such payment shall be deposited in the United States Treasury pursuant to the Miscellaneous Receipts Act. [2] Any penalty due and payable under this section shall not diminish the liability of the unit's owner or operator for any fine, penalty or assessment against the unit for the same violation under any other section of this chapter.
(b) Excess emissions offset
The owner or operator of any affected source that emits sulfur dioxide during any calendar year in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or of the allowances held for the unit for the calendar year, shall be liable to offset the excess emissions by an equal tonnage amount in the following calendar year, or such longer period as the Administrator may prescribe. The owner or operator of the source shall, within sixty days after the end of the year in which the excess emissions occured, [3] submit to the Administrator, and to the State in which the source is located, a proposed plan to achieve the required offsets. Upon approval of the proposed plan by the Administrator, as submitted, modified or conditioned, the plan shall be deemed at [4] a condition of the operating permit for the unit without further review or revision of the permit. The Administrator shall also deduct allowances equal to the excess tonnage from those allocated for the source for the calendar year, or succeeding years during which offsets are required, following the year in which the excess emissions occurred.
(c) Penalty adjustment
The Administrator shall, by regulation, adjust the penalty specified in subsection (a) of this section for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index, on November 15, 1990, and annually thereafter.
(d) Prohibition
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any source liable for a penalty and offset under this section to fail
(2) to provide, and thereafter comply with, a compliance plan as required by subsection (b) of this section, or
(e) Savings provision

Flu Vaccine (Seasonal and Pandemic Flu)
Influenza (Flu) Vaccines Overview
Influenza (flu) vaccines are nasal sprays or injections currently composed either of live flu viruses that have been attenuated (rendered much less able to cause infection) or killed viruses or virus components (both are unable to replicate) that, when administered to individuals, generate an immune response that will be strong enough to protect that individual from developing influenza disease. The design of the vaccine depends on how it is usually administered; the live attenuated vaccine is usually administered by a nasal spray, while the killed virus is usually administered by an intramuscular injection (shot), usually into the deltoid (arm) muscle; there is a vaccine also available for intradermal injection. People cannot get the flu from the injected vaccine because the vaccine contains no live virus. However, nasal sprays use attenuated viruses (meaning that the viruses are live but cannot effectively cause disease) that, in some people (immunodepressed), may cause mild flu-like symptoms.
Flu vaccines can be quite different based on the viral type(s) used to make the vaccine. For example, seasonal vaccines usually are made up of a combination of three different influenza viruses (flu strains that differ in some of their surface molecules) that experts choose because the strains represent the most likely viruses to emerge in an upcoming flu season. Pandemic vaccines differ from seasonal vaccines in several ways. First, the vaccines are usually made from new flu virus, not detected in previous flu seasons by flu experts and not included in the seasonal flu vaccines. These flu viruses are usually so new that they are not easily recognized by most human immune systems and quickly spread globally. Pandemic flu vaccines contain only a single strain of the pandemic virus (for example, H1N1 virus) instead of the usual three (trivalent) flu types used in a seasonal vaccine mixture. In the 2013-2014 flu season, a quadrivalent (four-antigen) vaccine was made available in both shot and nasal mist forms.
Seasonal vaccines are synthesized and distributed before the start of flu season (designated as Oct. 4, each year) while pandemic vaccines, unfortunately, have to be synthesized and distributed only after the pandemic virus has been identified and started its global spread.
Until 2013, all commercially available flu vaccines were made from viruses cultivated in chicken eggs and then collected, purified, tested for safety and efficacy, and once approved, distributed to care providers. This process usually takes about six months to accomplish, which gives a pandemic flu virus a long time to circulate and infect populations before a vaccine can be developed. In 2013, Flublok was approved for use; this vaccine is a trivalent vaccine made from insect cells that have recombinant DNA that produces viral hemagglutinins (antigens) in an egg-free system. Future vaccines may be synthesized differently like Flublok. Current techniques are time-consuming, expensive, and yield vaccines that usually protect against only those viral strains present in the vaccine; the protection does not extend to the wide spectrum of flu virus strains. This limited protection is the reason that new flu vaccines are developed each year.

What do you use to make voice part practice samples for your Choir?
Date: February 25, 2014
Views: 9307
In the past, I used to go to the Internet, find a choir piece sample, such as the ones at J W Pepper's website, and right click and save the music file to my PC and then burn a CD of a group of these samples as a hand out at choir practice. These days copyright laws and the websites themselves block trying to make a copy for such an event as these. Of course there is still the old tape cassette possibility. I have even looked at Voice recorders such as College students use to record class lectures, but those only seem best for spoken voice. I believe recording SATB samples require a bit more high definition. Garage Band software is good only if you have a MacIntosh, but if you have a PC I am not sure what is available these days, so I wondered what some of you may do besides emailing links for YouTube samples to choral members. (YouTube usually does not have samples on new compositions, just older ones). What do you do these days with all the new technology available?

Have you tried audacity? it is available for all computers for free. You also need the lame.dll file the audacity website will have instuctions where to find that. You can then play any file and record it at the same time. I use it alot! It works better than garage band. I have used both and like audacity better. good luck!

I use Audacity with a Blue Microphone - Snowball. We usually record using the grand piano at the church. Sometimes we do individual notes and sing. other times we sing the part with the accompaniment and also an accompaniment recording with no voices. This seems to work for what we need.

Audacity is great. I've used various recording tools depending on what was available (Zoom and Olympus digital recorders, iPhone, mics and recording system in my classroom). Once I discovered audacity it was MUCH easier to edit out that one wrong note, etc. that I had played and then corrected. I play the parts on the piano and can even layer them to make a multi-part rehearsal track. Right now I have a digital piano and can record the audio file to USB, then edit in audacity and export as an mp3. I think it's important for the students to hear a good performance of the entire piece as well, so I often post youtube links to performances I recommend. The students appreciate the mp3 files and youtube links because they can often play them on their phone or iPod which is far more portable than a CD. I like the fact that I'm not wasting, I mean using, so many CDs anymore!

I still do what you used to do. It has changed a little bit, but basically the same. At www.stantons.com they have a listening lab. There you can find music, hopefully what you want and many are full recordings if octavo length. Then you save it to their jukebox. Now here's where it can be a time saver. For my kids, who use computers or smartphones all the time, I just send them the Link that Stanton's site creates for me, and I'm done. Even half of my adults like it that way because they can hook it up in their car and play it. I don't really recommend the car with the jukebox because you have to play pieces individually. My kids love it though.

We use an Olympus mp3 recorder to record pieces with all parts together. I actually use the WMA format because it's a lot smaller than mp3s. WMAs can be converted in iTunes.
When we're teaching someone a new part, we use iPhones. Everyone sings, but the person who already sings the part holds the iPhone closer to her mouth so that line is prominent but can still be heard in the context of the rest of the piece. It's just a simple recording in Voice Memos. You can name the file and email it immediately. I have a master page where I keep all reference recordings (part pieces like the Voice Memo recordings) and we have a private Facebook page where we post YouTube links so everyone can comment on them.
Sing on!
Thanks, I just downloaded the program. Are you able to save the files in a format to burn to CD?
Never Mind, the manual explains all that. Thanks, very much !!!
Lisa, my chancel choir is mostly older folks, (some who do not even have email......really), so I have to think of ways to make samples for them.
I use Garage Band. It's great. It is so easy to use and so easlly integrated.

The problem of creating rehearsal tracks/CDs/Cassettes is shared by many choirs, and one of the goals of my web site is to make it easy and profitable for choirs to assist each other by making their aids available to all. My site, www.singharmony.com has a recording module which makes it easy to produce part-predominant tracks in our unique format. Also, through an exclusive license we have with Naxos of America, singers can produce very high quality tracks by singing along with a professional recording. The catalogue of CDs pre-approved for this purpose can be found at http://www.singharmony.com/pdf/UsingNaxosRecordings.pdf.
May I encourage all of you who are dealing with the same challenge to help each other by making and sharing part-predominant tracks of music your choir has mastered. If you record your performances and then have your best singers for each voice individually sing along with those recordings, you will be able to produce high-quality rehearsal aids that will be much appreciated by other choirs wanting to learn that repertoire. You may also raise funds for your choir in the process.

If I can get a midi, (which can come from the internet or by scanning the music) I set the voices to soprano = piccolo, alto = clarinet, tenor = french horn, and bass = bassoon, and export each voice on its own and also the accompaniment. I then read the 5 files into a mixing program and, in turn, set the dominant voice in the left channel and the other voices in the right channel at a lower level and save the result as an mp3 (evidence for the supperiority of WMA is questionable at best -- see Wikipedia). Normally I use these instruments rather than piano so things like suspensions show up. Where rhythm is the dominant factor, I do use piano.
I have a program on my computer called Sound Tap Streaming Audio Recorder from NCH. I press record and then play whatever it is that I'm listening to, from a website, Youtube, etc. and get an audio recording that I can use as a teaching example. I also have a BOSS BR900CD Digital Multitrack Recorder which allows me to sing off individual parts and mix them. This is an older model so there are probably newer ones out there. If the piece is acap, I score it into Finale and then playback using the different saxaphones for the voices (sop, alto, etc.) and piano for all non voice specific parts. I'm learning how to scan the music into Finale and then set it up the same way. This technique is still in progress. This is what I do in a basic nutshell. I'd have to write a book to be more specific in my descriptions and actions.
The Mendelssohn Glee Club of NYC (TTBB, founded 1866) uses two learning tools.
1 - We get a pianist, a tenor and a bass/baritone to record a master of T1, then T2, then B1, then B2, of all the numbers in our upcoming program. From the master, we create CDs for each of the 4 voice parts. We total the costs and divide by the number of singers in our Club, and this usually comes to about $20pp. We collect that $20 from each of our members as we give the the CD. The members love it.
2 - We use Noteworthy Composer to create song files for each of the songs in our upcoming program. In our 10th year of doing this, we are able to use previous song files in putting together the music for the program. We then email these song files to our members who have already loaded the Noteworthy Composer program in their PC. The members also love this. To date, I have about 150 NC song files that I use not only to practice, but to have fun.

As I do many arrangements for our mixed choir myself, i use Sibelius (now version 7, next week the coming upgrade 7.5) for making the complete score. Other arrangements I often change in varying degrees. Only a part of our songs are "imported originals", but as I can get the MIDIs of all parts of a song in Sibelius in practically NO TIME, I also copy these "imported originals" into my notation program. The MIDI sounds I use are of the category VOICE, offered in FEMALE and MALE voices, and both groups containing SOPRANO and ALTO resp. TENOR and BASS. Practically all computers feature an integrated SYNTHESIZER with a standardized set of MIDI voices, so the MIDI voices I use in my MAC, will normally be reproduced with the same sound on a PC. MIDIs have the advantage of being very small - only some Kilobytes - whereas even the relatively small MP3s need about 50 times the space of a MIDI (and an AIFF needs 10 times the space of an MP3). The disadvantage of MIDIs is that they can be played only on a computer, because they don't transfer sounds but only the number code of a sound. (A MIDI can also be reproduced on a DIGITAL Musical Instrument, but that's practized normally only by professionals.)
As I said before, I use Sibelius to generate MIDIs of all the choir parts. This can be done "bunchwise", that means I could put several scores in a folder and then let Sibelius generate the MIDIs of all parts. The time used for one song measures only in some seconds. Of course it's necessary NOT TO MIX parts in one line as is often done in Hymns or Chorals, where the upper line combines Sopranos with Altos and the Tenor voice appears together with the Bass voice in the lower line.
Apart from the correct interpretations of varying tempi (ritardandos, accelerandos etc.) or different expressions (staccato, legato, portato etc.) or volume variations (pp, p, mp, mf, f etc. or crescendos resp. decrescendos), Sibelius lets you program the correct interpretation of melody aberrations, that happen sometimes when in one of the verses there is one sillable of text more than in another.
Those who don't want to spend much money on a notation program, but nevertheless are looking for high quality should visit one of the sites of Myriad-online:
http://www.myriad-online.com/en/index.htm or http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/index.htm - they offer two notation programs: Melody Assistant and Harmony Assistant. Both can be downloaded and tested indefinitely for free - the (one-time only - all updates free) price for a Serial for Melody Assistant is 37 US $, for Harmony Assistant it's 85 US $. The manual is in HTML format. (Beginning with Melody Assistant, I worked a year with Harmony Assistant, before I changed to Sibelius.)
This is an interesting thread! We are going thru this same issue, how to get rehearsal tracks to our members. Often we use Sibelius to create the parts etc, I have also used Garageband as I am a Mac person. And of course distrubution comes into play as to how to get them out. Ultimately the bigger question is how can we ensure the members use these tools!
I have directed groups like that recently. I wonder if their needs, (indeed, perhaps some of why they join choir) are social as well as musical.
Perhaps you can use the simplest method for you (be that audacity-to-cd, cassette tape, 4 iPads w/ garage band, whatever works), and get a part-prominent track recorded for each (SATB). (Unless your falsetto has a very authentic resonance-mix, you may wish to get a woman to record the sop and alto.)
Set a time for all to come- add snacks and games- make it a "part"-y! ( We are told that this is how folks entertained themselves, and others , in the renaissance period. ;).
Plan to have 4 cd-tape players, or computers if there's someone to operate them- or a device for each group that matches their ability - that work well. Assign a "sound engineer" (whoever knows how to push the buttons) for each group. Place them in different rooms. Be sure all have a clear, well-marked copy [large print where necessary] and let them rehearse! If you can be there, circulate to see/monitor how they're doing. If you cannot be there, the choir president/most competent singer-leader can monitor. After about 10 -15 minutes on 2 or 3 songs, gather and enjoy!

To distribute the MIDIs to our choir members, I founded a group in Yahoo. The group is not public - to get access one needs an invitation, that only the founder can give, and I do invite only members of our choir. The group isn't "listed", so it's "invisible" to outsiders. After a choir member gets an invitation, (s)he has to register with Yahoo, and the chosen identity will be her/his new Yahoo Mail Address. I always recommend them to enter their "normal" Mail Address into their Yahoo profile and list it there as the "primary" one, to which will be sent the automatic informations of newly entered MIDIs (or scores).
MIDIs are not only good to give the singers the correct voice parts, but they may also help with problems of pronunciation. We are a choir of Germans - most of us retired - who live in the Mediterrane (on Mallorca). Our repertoire consists not only of songs in German, but also in English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Latin, French, Portuguese and Russian. Because I lost to much time during rehearsals with explaining or correcting pronunciations, I began last year to make "Pronunciation MIDIs" of songs with words in a "foreign" (not German) language. I don't sing the words, but speak them in the exact rhythm of the related melody, also stretching the sounds of longer held notes. Practically it's the same I did (and sometimes still do) in rehearsals, but now it's "on tape" for all those of our members who got problems with one or the other language .......
I use Harmony Assistant with the Virtual Singer Plugin. It's much more user friendly than Sibelius & a fraction of the price. Plus once you've bought it you get unlimited updates & support.
As well as all the usual Instrumentals / Midi / MP3s etc., the Virtual Singer is ideal for making Training CDs for choirs, as it literally 'Sings' the words by using a Speech Synthesiser that speaks the words to the frequency of the notes. A bit robotic, yes, but the notes are accurate.
Hi Charles,
What a timely post and some great responses. I believe everyone is interested in using modern technology to enhance rehearsal experiences with their choirs. There are several "aids" available right now to help accomplish what you are after. I think the responses pretty much covered most of them. What I'd like you to take a look at is a site where all the work has been done: scores, lyric sheets, recordings of entire ensemble, individual parts and accompaniment. I truly believe this type of program will be the norm in the future as students can download the materials onto their electronic devices: phones, tablets, mp3 players and computers to be used both in and out of class rehearsal. Scores and parts can also be downloaded and printed out to be used as a traditional method. This type of program will serve as a valuable instructional tool to help students and teachers succeed. The site is: www.singfree.net The materials are free at this time and are easily accessed on any device. Best of luck this year and I hope you enjoy the site.

For my choir new material means either harmonizations of existing (and familear) liturgical chants, or new settings of familiar texts, so we don't need lyrics on the CDs. I do everything on Finale, so it's just a question of generating 3 or 4 audio files (SABar or SATB) per piece. For each file I assign piano to to the targeted voice and choral aahs to the others. The singers hear their part prominently, with the rhythm well defined by the piano, against the background of the complete harmonization. It works well for our needs.
My group has a website, and we post our midis on that. Fortunately all my singers have computers and can access them for their own practice. There are many midis available online. If you put the name of the song into a search engine, that often leads to one that is already made. I use Sibelius to make midis' as well. I also try to find a Youtube video of a song we are working on to give them a sense of how it will sound when it is up to tempo. Midi's tend to sound plodding, so it is good for them to hear a fluent rendition of the piece. Sometimes there are many videos of a song, and it is good to go through and find one that is the closest to the way you want to interpret the song. Some of the singers use Sweet MIdi PLayer which is available on line, and it allows them to play the SATB version of the song, but make their part stand out, and they hear it in context with the other voices.
For some reason, the last few OS versions for Mac computers does not have the capacity to play midis. Fortunately my desk top is several generations behind, and I keep it that way to play midi's and support my older version of Sibelius. I hope many people will complain on the Apple feedback page. I have seen some elaborate work arounds described on the Mac forum, but it is more complicated than most people would want to try.

How to prune in Autumn
After summer's vigorous growth, it's a good idea to give your shrubs a light prune in autumn to keep them in shape. With shrubs losing their leaves it's even more important to get the shape of uninhabited branches right, as they're on display until they blossom again in spring. Our autumn pruning guide can help you master the art of pruning by cleaning up branches after summer and tidying up in time for winter.
As the leading role of any garden, it is vital to keep shrubs in decent form through regular pruning. This will improve a plant's shape, helping them grow and stay healthier, as well as encourage flowers and fruits. Shrubs create the structure in a garden so it's important to keep them in good condition with regular pruning.

Creighton Tennis Players Achieve Success in ITA Summer Circuit
OMAHA – Creighton men's tennis player Quinn Dippel won the men's singles title at the University of Kansas in week four of the 2014 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Summer Circuit.
Dippel won five matches over three days to grab the singles crown, defeating Mac Rechan of Georgetown 6-2, 7-6 in the championship match on Sunday. After dropping just eight games in three matches against opponents from St. Bonaventure, Nebraska and Iowa, his biggest challenge came in the semifinal. Dippel dropped the first set 6-4 to Max Fil of Southeast Oklahoma State but won the second 6-3 and a third-set superbreaker 10-5 to advance to the final.
One of five Jays active at the tournament in Lawrence, Dippel was joined by fellow teammates Nick Thompson and Michael Koch. On the women's side, Katherine Nelsen and Jennie Hartjes also participated.
Thompson and Hartjes each won their first-round singles match but fell in the second round to top-three seeded players.
Despite each dropping their first singles match Koch and Nelsen rebounded to win their respective singles backdraw to finish a successful weekend.
In doubles, Thompson and Koch teamed up to advance to the semifinals, dropping only five games along the way. On the women's side, Nelsen and Hartjes rolled to an 8-2 victory before falling to the eventual champions 8-7 in a tiebreaker.
A week before the KU tourney, Dippel and teammate Jake Norman participated in a week three event at Wichita State seeded fourth and second, respectively, in the men's singles bracket.
Norman advanced to the semifinals with a pair of straight-set wins but fell 13-11 in a tiebreaker. Dippel advanced to the quarterfinals.
In doubles, Norman teamed up with singles champion to capture the men's doubles title.
The Jays' 2014-15 tournament schedule begins in the fall.

The Redbreastby Jo Nesbo
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From one of the most celebrated crime writers in Europe comes an epic new novel, brilliant in scope and design — a deep and fearless investigation of betrayal spanning two centuries and three continents.
Police Detective Harry Hole has made a terrible mistake. An embarrassment in the line of duty has pulled him off his usual beat. Reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks, he reluctantly agrees to monitor neo-Nazi activities in Oslo. But as Hole is drawn into an underground world of illegal gun trafficking, brutal beatings, and sexual extortions, he soon learns that he must act fast to prevent an international conspiracy from unfolding.
Trapped in the crosshairs of the man with all the answers, Harry Hole plunges headlong into a mystery with roots deep in the past. His investigation takes him back to Norway's darkest hour — when members of the young nation's government collaborated with leaders of Nazi Germany. Dredging up a painful history of denial, Hole turns his attention to the Norwegian troops who fought for Adolf Hitler on the Eastern front. Branded by their countrymen as traitors, the soldiers who survived the brutal Russian winter — the hunger, fear, cold, grenades, and snipers — returned home as scapegoats of a nation's atonement. Sixty years later, old grudges and betrayals appear to have been laid to rest, until Hole realizes that someone has begun to pick off the surviving soldiers one by one.
With only his troubled, guilt-ridden conscience as a guide, Hole must move quickly through the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. But as his sanity slips in a slow burn of anger and alcohol, his mistakes continue to pile up. And if he fails to quicken the pace, Norway's darkest hour since World War II just might lie in the future.
In a tightly woven plot that takes readers from the icy steppes of the Russian front to a seemingly peaceful springtime in modern-day Oslo, Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbo delves into a sinister national history with uncommon bravery. Transforming shades of moral gray into an explosive palette of characters, Nesbo holds readers in suspense until the final pages. His deft orchestration of parallel narratives knows no match in the genre, and his thematic reach exceeds even the most ambitious thrillers on the market. With the U.S. publication of The Redbreast, American readers will learn what European readers have known for a decade — that Nesbo's writing is quite simply brilliant (Weekend-Avisen, Denmark).
"Shifting effortlessly between the last days of WWII on the Eastern front and modern day Oslo, Norwegian Nesbø (The Devil's Star) spins a complex tale of murder, revenge and betrayal. A recovering alcoholic recently reassigned to the Norwegian Security Service, Insp. Harry Hole begins tracking Sverre Olsen, a vicious neo-Nazi who escaped prosecution on a technicality. But what starts as a quest to put Olsen behind bars soon explodes into a race to prevent an assassination. As Hole struggles to stay one step ahead of Olsen and his gang of skinheads, Nesbø takes the reader back to WWII, as Norwegians fighting for Hitler wage a losing battle on the Eastern front. When the two story lines finally collide, it's up to Hole to stop a man hell-bent on carrying out the deadly plan he hatched half a century ago in the trenches. Perfectly paced and painfully suspenseful, this crime novel illuminates not only Norway's alleged Nazi ties but also its present skinhead subculture. Readers will delight in Hole, a laconic hero as doggedly stubborn as Connelly's Harry Bosch, and yet with a prickly appeal all his own." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] bold, ambitious thriller....Nesbø bids fair to turn Norway into serious competition for Sweden as Scandinavia's crime center." Kirkus Reviews
"Pristinely translated by Don Bartlett, Nesbø's book eloquently uses its multiple horrors to advance a disturbing argument: suppressing history is an open invitation for history to repeat itself." Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"Reading The Redbreast is like watching a hit movie. Author Jo Nesbo's scenes are so vivid that you can imagine them playing across the big screen. The pacing is swift. The plot is precise and intricate. The characters are intriguing." USA Today
"A lengthy and complex story...one of the more fascinating detectives in modern crime fiction; and a well-drawn, engaging set of secondary characters make this one of the best new series of 2007. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Certainly ranks with the best of current American crime fiction." Washington Post Book World
"Original…demands concentration but its worth the effort." Literary Review
"Exciting, witty, melancholy and thought-provoking." Daily Telegraph (London)
Detective Harry Hole embarrassed the force, and for his sins he's been reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks. But while monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo, Hole is inadvertently drawn into a mystery with deep roots in Norway's dark past — when members of the nation's government willingly collaborated with Nazi Germany. More than sixty years later, this black mark won't wash away, and disgraced old soldiers who once survived a brutal Russian winter are being murdered, one by one.
Now, with only a stained and guilty conscience to guide him, an angry, alcoholic, error-prone policeman must make his way safely past the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. For a hideous conspiracy is rapidly taking shape around Hole — and Norway's darkest hour may still be to come.

A younger generation of Watertown police officers hoped to work 12-hour shifts in exchange for more personal time, but not at the price proposed by City Hall, according to the Police Benevolent Association president.
Approximately 25 PBA members met Nov. 19 to discuss a written proposal from City Manager Sharon A. Addison and didnt even put it up to a vote, said PBA President Jerry D. Golden, as the unanimous response was a disappointed thumbs down.
All of the concessions would be at our expense, Mr. Golden said. It seems evident to us that the city didnt really want to go to 12-hour shifts.
He had anticipated a win-win situation for both sides, with the city having to pay less overtime and sick pay.
The PBA and city had been negotiating the issue for about eight months before it finally came down to a written proposal that would have required officers to work overtime at their basic salary, according to Mr. Golden. Over a two-week pay period, officers would work 84 hours, with no time-and-a-half pay for the extra four hours, he said.
The citys proposal also would eliminate holiday pay, compensation time and personal days, all of which are provided in the citys labor agreement with the PBA, Mr. Golden said.
The membership was hoping for a 12-hour shift plan that would enable a more predictable weekend schedule for family time, he said.
We have no other recourse at this time, Mr. Golden said. We will have to wait until negotiations begin when the current contract expires on June 30, 2014.
Ms. Addison declined to comment, saying that the city does not negotiate labor contracts in public. She also refused to release the written proposal.
Youre not going to get that from the city, she said. You can go to the PBA for that.
Mr. Golden said an attorney advised him that since the document was drafted by the city, it should come from the city.
This months rejection by the PBA shadows a similar resolve 12 years ago, but for different reasons. The PBA membership of 2005 was a more veteran crew, Mr. Golden said in March. Members then were more comfortable staying with their traditional five-day week.
When he spoke in March, many of the veterans had retired, and their replacements in uniform had voted overwhelmingly to strive for 12-hour shifts.

SCIENCE CRAWLThe New Mexico PBS Science Crawl is a collaborative venture with Albuquerque Public Schools and Albuquerque Museums to build interest and enthusiasm in the field of science. Through Science Crawl, students explore the depth and richness of New Mexico's science and technology resources. In addition, Science Crawl gives students the opportunity to visit Albuquerque's rich science museums—some for the first time. The goal is to stimulate interest in science and math careers.
With funding by Sandia National Labs, and Lockheed Martin, over 1,200 8th grade students from six Albuquerque middle schools took part in educational activities aligned with state science standards. Teachers were trained and given study guides to use with their students. Then the kids spent an entire day at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, the Albuquerque Aquarium, The Rio Grande Zoo, Explora! and the Botanic Garden.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
The Helper City Council is moving ahead with a plan that would add a penny to the sales tax on every $10 worth of goods purchased in town.
It's called a RAP Tax, an acronym for "Recreation, Arts, and Parks." Helper wants to levy a 0.1 percent tax on sales to set up a special fund for these items. State law allows it, and Price has had one in place for about six years now.
On Thursday, the council voted to direct City Attorney Gene Strate to research and write an ordinance for the tax. It will take citizen approval at the ballot box to increase the sales tax. The current rate in Helper is 5.95 percent.
Mayor Dean Armstrong said the measure would not be a quick fix. It will take years to accumulate enough money to do anything meaningful at the city parks, ball fields, library, pool and museum. However, it is a start, and Helper Utah Business, an organization of downtown businesses, supports it.
Council member Robert Bradley agreed and offered the motion that was accepted unanimously.
On Friday, Price City's Community Director Nick Tatton confirmed that his town's ZAP Tax (Zoo, Arts and Parks) has been a useful source of funds for projects.

WALDOBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Coming when it did - one day before the calendar marks the start of Spring - this snowstorm has been more of a pain than the actual accumulation would suggest. After all, we've already endured a series of storms during mid-and-late winter, including that Blizzard.
But that calendar can be a fickle document, especially when it comes to the First Day of Spring. NEWS CENTER'S Kevin Mannix likes to remind us that April can be a winter month, and that March, regardless of what a piece of paper says, certainly belongs to the cold season.
However, if you know where to look, Spring doesn't seem far off. At the Moose Crossing Garden Center in Waldoboro, they have a dozen greenhouses full of green and growing plants. Pansies, geraniums, Super Bells and supertunias, to name just a few, are growing by the thousands. Owners Tyler and Jeremy Lupien (whose parents started the business 42 years ago) say some people might pay money just to see something green this time of year. And they both admit it feels good to see plants growing while there's snow outside.
Does this late season storm portend anything particular as far as the coming of Spring? Tyler Lupien says no. ? "This is Maine," he says."The only thing I would say is this kind of weather gets people ready psychologically for what we have to offer...for a little color, a little green and a little brightness."
And for most Mainers, it can't come soon enough.

Rating: 3.78 out of 9 votes cast
Not the color I was expecting
The animal print blouse in the catalog photo seemed to have more of a tan background. The blouse that arrived had a more olive green tint to the background. I am 5' 7", so I ordered the tall size, because the catalog indicated that the blouse is a bit shorter than usual, but it was still too short for my taste.
Love the Sleeves; Flattering and Professional
This blouse is actually very flattering, and slimming. I wasn't sure it would be slimming with all the ruffles in the front, but it is. It's professional, and I love the shorter mid-sleeves. It's very challenging to find these kinds of sleeves these days because designers have become lazy and cheap, creating mostly sleeveless clothes. And long sleeves are too hot for summer. It's been a brutal summer, and we need more professional blouses like this that are short-sleeved, cool and flattering. I would even like to see more blouses that cinch at the waist or under the bust and flare out over the tummy, for an even more flattering effect...like tunics, babydoll tops and kimono-esque looks (but not as long as those). Also, more looks for petites. The longer blouses cut off the legs of shorter women.

I like this shirt, but I order a 16 because the 14 and 12 were out of stock. This is too big. I must alter or send back. Not sure yet.

Video: Boston Bombings Traced to Pressure Cookers Packed With Shrap
Video: NBC Special Report: Progress Made But No Arrest in Boston
Video: Boston Marathon Bombings: Progress but No Arrest
BOSTON, MA - CNN, which originally reported that an arrest had been made in the Boston Marathon bombing, now reports that sources tell them a suspect is not custody.
NBC sources say progress is being made in the investigation and video shows a person setting a bag down but that person has not been identified.
Investigators in white jumpsuits have searched streets, rooftops and awnings around site of the Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, as well as countless pictures and videos of the scene.
They've combed through debris, garbage cans and trash in search of clues to help determine who was behind the blasts that killed three people and injured more than 170.
An official says the search has turned up a piece of circuit board and a pressure cooker lid that are believed to be parts of one of the bombs.
Federal agents are zeroing in on how the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out, but there's still no word on who did it and why.
An intelligence bulletin issued to law enforcement and released late Tuesday includes a picture of a mangled pressure cooker and a torn black bag. The FBI says evidence indicates the bomber packed a pressure cooker with explosives, nails and ball bearings and hid it in a back pack. The agency says the second bomb was in a metal container, but there isn't enough evidence to indicate that it was a pressure cooker.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies continue to ask members of the public to come forward with photos, videos or anything suspicious they might have seen or heard.
Many of the more than 170 wounded remain in hospitals, many with serious injuries. A 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy are among 17 victims listed in critical condition.
The three people killed include an 8-year-old boy, a 29-year-old woman and a graduate student from China.
The FBI agent in charge says "the range of suspects and motives remains wide open."

Video: "Explosive Device" Deterimined to be a Fake
BUFFALO, NY - Elmwood Avenue is open again between Hertel Avenue and Great Arrow, after police determined a possible explosive device was a fake.
According to a witness, the device appeared to be several sticks of dynamite tied together.
The device was on the sidewalk in front of a vacant building at 1800 Elmwood Avenue.
The Bomb Squad was in to remove it.
Late Monday, Police announced that 36-year-old Titus Tallchief of Kenmore has been charged with an E Felony, "placing a false bomb or hazardous substance".

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- With the addition of high-end restaurants and apartments, Somali shops, an organic market and a yoga studio, there's new life on Lewiston's Lisbon Street.
Eric Agren, owner of restaurants Fuel and Marche, and apartments on the street, said the downtown area has transformed in the last decade.
"There were first floors, mostly empty, no businesses, papered up, and pretty empty across all of Lisbon Street," Agren remembered.
When he first proposed the idea of putting in a high-end restaurant on Lisbon Street seven years ago, he said he was met with skepticism.
Following Fuel's success, several businesses have followed.
Seven months ago, Forage Market opened across the street, selling local, organic food.
"There were a lot of great, old buildings downtown that were inexpensive and have a lot of great potential," said Allen Smith, Co-owner of Forage Market.
As many businesses have moved in, there's still room to grow.
Promoting economic development was the topic of a Thursday afternoon forum at the Lewiston Public Library, where Agren shared his success story and vision for Lewiston's future.
"The significant amount of development that's going on all at once, I believe is just the beginning," said Agren.
He said the key is attracting a young, professional demographic to the downtown area, where they can eat, recreate, and live.
That's an effort already in progress, as several buildings on Lisbon Street are currently under construction for new, high-end apartments on second-floors.
This construction comes after the opening of the new Lofts at Bates Mill apartments, which is a combination of low-income and market-rate apartments in the old mill.
Agren says the expansion on Lisbon Street and beyond is a sign that Lewiston's economic downturn could be part of its past.

I would like to respond to the staff column dated Aug. 18, 2009.
While I am glad Mr. Shaw did address the problem with the traffic on 400 North and by the high school, I am a little curious as to why the letter that 29 citizens signed (there could have been more) was not published in the editorial section of the newspaper. The traffic near the high school is a very serious problem and needs to be address by our local law enforcement. Although the petition was addressed and quoted it was not published in its entirety.
There have been several accidents in this area as well as many close calls. My own mother was involved in an accident while taking one of my children to dancing. Also our garbage pick up has to occur at 6 a.m. because of the traffic problem.
It would have been nice if our local paper would have covered this terrible accident that will affect the life of this school district employee for many years. I am a friend and co-worker of hers and have watched her slow and painful recovery. Not only did she lose five months of her life, I am sure she will feel the effects of this forever. There should have been news coverage. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words".
Many have commented "perhaps she wasn't important enough."
We need a police presence at the high school during these critical times of day. The first two days of school there was an officer parked down in front to the LDS church and the next day across the street in the same location. This is two blocks from the high school and safely positioned away from the crucial area.
Yes, it is our responsibility to drive defensively but we are dealing with teenagers for the most part and they do need supervision. For the safety of the students, as well those who have to travel in this area it is imperative that we have a law enforcement presence in an attempt to prevent something like this from happening again.
