But it is impossible to go backwards, the bigger teams will always be that, the days of the likes of Lotus & Williams winning are long gone, which in footballing terms is probably like PNE or Ipswich ever winning something major again.
And just like football the tickets are taken over by corporate bods now. I used to get free F1 tickets at Silverstone 'my seat' got punted further away from the start finish line by clueless folk there on a corporate jolly for maybe selling more photo copiers or some such, last time I was there there was a bloke in front asking his mate which car James Hunt was in, this was 1995 !!

A team boss like Frank Williams will still appear on the Times Rich List despite his team not having won anything for yonks, in footballing terms he's Mick McCarthy.
Futuo wrote:It must be okay for the teams like Sauber to make up the numbers, they must get enough out of just being there to justify the costs.
Guess it all depends on the Financial fair Play thing, but as it stands now, no a poor team will never win the CL, it's an elite club and only the rich are allowed in, although for a team like Arsenal being there at all is an achievement as they are beating other clubs that spend more.
They tried to even things out costs wise in F1, and I guess it worked up to a point as Red Bull's budget will be smaller than McLaren's or Ferrari's. I guess Wenger is wanting Arsenal to be Red Bull but so far we're Renault.

Early-onset Alzheimer's: When symptoms begin before age 65
When Alzheimer's begins in middle age, misdiagnosis may be more likely. This rare form of Alzheimer's affects work, finances and family.
By Mayo Clinic staffEarly-onset Alzheimer's is an uncommon form of dementia that strikes people younger than age 65. Glenn Smith, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., answers questions about this condition.
How common is early-onset Alzheimer's?
Of all the people who have Alzheimer's disease, only about 5 percent develop symptoms before age 65. So if 4 million Americans have Alzheimer's, at least 200,000 people have the early-onset form of the disease. Early-onset Alzheimer's has been known to develop between ages 30 and 40, but that's very uncommon. It's more common to see someone in his or her 50s who has the disease.
What causes it?
It often runs in families. Many people with early-onset Alzheimer's have a parent or grandparent who also developed Alzheimer's at a younger age. A significant proportion of early-onset Alzheimer's is linked to three genes.
These three genes are different from the APOE gene — the gene that can increase your risk of Alzheimer's in general. The genetic path of inheritance is much stronger in early-onset Alzheimer's. If you have a genetic mutation in one of those three genes — the APP, PSEN 1 or PSEN 2 — it would be common for you to develop Alzheimer's before age 65.
If early-onset Alzheimer's runs in my family, should I get tested for it?
That's a personal decision that only you can make. Anyone who's considering it should pursue genetic counseling — to examine the pros and cons beforehand. For example, it may be helpful to consider how a positive test may affect your eligibility for long term care, disability and life insurance. On the other hand, if you know you carry a form of the early-onset genes, you may be able to take steps to make it easier for you and your loved ones to cope with the effects of the disease.
Does early-onset Alzheimer's progress at a faster rate?
There's a perception that it does, but it's not backed up by hard data. It depends on what endpoint you're using in your measurement. If your endpoint is admission to a nursing home, that may occur earlier for the early-onset group — but only because their spouses or partners have so many other things on their plates.
For example, people who have early-onset Alzheimer's often still have children at home. They or their spouses or partners may have elderly parents that need care, too. Often, people may find themselves overwhelmed with caring for elderly parents, the loved one with early-onset Alzheimer's and their children all at the same time.
Fortunately, resources are available to support people with Alzheimer's to care for themselves and function on their own as long as possible. Many resources are also available for caregivers — support that can be essential when dealing with early-onset Alzheimer's.
How important is it to obtain an accurate diagnosis?
Accurate diagnosis is critical so that you can explain your condition to your employer and perhaps arrange a lighter workload or more convenient schedule. For family reasons it is even more crucial. The diagnosis is fundamental in helping the family respond with appropriate understanding and compassion. In addition, a complete evaluation will rule out reversible forms of dementia that might improve with treatment.

41st Parameter's cyber security expertise to strengthen Experian's global offerings
- Experian announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 41st Parameter, the market leader in device identification technology for web fraud detection.
- 41st Parameter's industry-leading solutions have been adopted by the world's leading financial institutions, eCommerce merchants and online travel businesses.
- 41st Parameter's patented device identification technology strengthens Experian's global web fraud detection and identity authentication capabilities.
COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian®, the leading global information services company, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire 41st Parameter, the market leader in device identification technology and web fraud detection. 41st Parameter will strengthen Experian's global web fraud detection and risk-based identity authentication capabilities.
Consumers around the world are increasingly reliant on a variety of Internet-connected devices for everything from banking to shopping to entertainment and media. Creating relevant on-line customer experiences and preventing fraud are large and growing business challenges. 41st Parameter's patented device identification technology enables clients and their consumers to interact on the web effectively and securely, recognizing consumers to reduce fraud losses.
"This acquisition is part of our commitment to provide the most complete set of fraud detection and identity authentication capabilities on the market today," said Joy Griffiths, global managing director, Experian Decision Analytics. "We are pleased to incorporate 41st Parameter's web fraud detection to enable our clients to make real-time security decisions that improve their business profits."
Businesses use 41st Parameter products to enhance efficiency and improve the customer experience through an approach known as "risk-based authentication." Risk-based authentication is a method of applying varying levels of stringency to authentication processes based on the likelihood that access to a given system could result in it being compromised. This allows businesses to apply the right level of security for each activity, instead of using the same approach regardless of the value and risk associated with each transaction.
"In today's digital world, organizations need to recognize the devices used by their customers in order to provide a safe and effective experience," said Alan Naumann, President and CEO of 41st Parameter. "I am excited that by combining our team with Experian we can together deliver very unique and effective solutions to our mutual clients around the world."
41st Parameter sets itself apart from other products in the cyber security market with superior device intelligence and by reducing fraud detection errors known as "false positives" which result in customer frustration and lost sales. Typical uses include detecting fraudulent activity when a new account is opened, determining the risk associated with a Card Not Present (CNP) online transaction, and protecting consumers from fraudulent attempts of account takeover.
41st Parameter was founded in 2004. With offices located in the Silicon Valley in California, Arizona, UK, and Tokyo, 41st Parameter helps the world's leading financial institutions, eCommerce merchants, online travel provides and digital media organization more effectively and more securely serve their digital consumers.
"From day one, our vision was to set our company apart from other businesses in the cyber security market with superior device intelligence," said Ori Eisen, Chairman and Founder of 41st Parameter. "As a market leader, I am pleased that we are now joining Experian to continue our quest in helping safeguard and protect companies from web-based fraud threats."

You count grams of fat and fiber, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, drink green tea, and jog four times a week. However, you spend most of your time at a high stress job, have few close relationships, and feel that your life lacks meaning. The good things that you do for your body may help increase your resistance to stress and illness, but they only reflect part of a much larger picture.
Health is more than having a body that works properly. It includes physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, and even occupational/vocational dimensions. When these dimensions are working in harmony, they contribute to a sense of well-being and satisfaction.
How do you take care of your whole self? The National Wellness Institute embraces the Six Dimensional Model of Wellness developed in 1979 by Dr. Bill Hettler. The chart below, based on Hettler's model, can provide you with some guidance.
Category | Development |
Physical —Achieving personal fitness and health goals through nutrition, physical activity, safety, and self-care |
Emotional—Maintaining good mental health, a positive attitude, and high self-esteem; responding with resiliency to emotional states and everyday life |
Spiritual—Getting in touch with your deeper self and the spiritual dimension of your life, developing faith in something larger than yourself, finding meaning and purpose |
Intellectual—Having curiosity and a strong desire to learn; solving problems; thinking independently, creatively, and critically |
Occupational/vocational —Engaging in or preparing for work in which you will find personal satisfaction and enrichment |
Who has the time to address all these dimensions? Many wellness experts suggest numerous opportunities to find more balance. Strategies may include:
For example, taking a daily walk with your spouse and children can fulfill needs for physical activity and emotional bonding. If you use the time to discuss ideas and career aspirations, your family walk could also contribute to intellectual and occupational needs.
Take time to know the deepest purposes for which you live, and use them to set goals and make decisions. For example, you may find that you would prefer more time with your family rather than a bigger paycheck. Do not wait for a crisis to show what really matters to you.
Using your values and the Six Dimensional Model of Wellness, identify your current wellness deficits and develop goals that will help you find more balance.
Perfect balance in all dimensions is not possible in an ever-changing world. There will be times when you are overextended, lonely, angry, and tired. Over the years, you will need to make adjustments until you find a balance that enhances your quality of life.

Five exhibitions to check out over the holidays— Global
From the works of abstract painter legends to upcoming artists trying to make a new impression, the New Year break is no excuse to stop checking out great art.
—Daido Moriyama: White and Vinegar
Tokyo's Impossible Project Space is hosting a collection of 42 monochrome photographs by the renowned Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. The Impossible Project is the Netherlands-based team that has been championing the preservation of instant film such as Polaroid since 2008. Moriyama once stated that in a world without film and chemicals, he would mix egg-white and vinegar in the sun to create photographs. It must have stirred the imagination of those behind the Impossible Project, as his new abstract series was shot using Impossible Project's new generation film and is also available in a book of the same name.
Impossible Project Space Tokyo, 2F Oak Bld, 1-20-5 Aobadai, Meguro. Until 27 January.
—MoMA Tim Burton Exhibition at Seoul Museum of Art
The Seoul Museum of Art is the final stop of the Tim Burton Exhibition that first originated at MoMA New York and has now toured locations such as London, Paris and Los Angeles. It showcases 862 of Burton and his collaborators' works including sketches, paintings, film-clips, sculptures, music and costumes from his prolific film career. The three-part exhibition covers Burton's childhood years, his early career at Disney and his most dynamic period from 1985 onwards in which he established his dark and quirky style. Films such as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Alice and Wonderland all have the Burton signature touch. But we recommend 1994's Ed Wood, Burton's ode to a 1950s filmmaker just as unusual as he is.
Seoul Museum of Art, 37 Seosomun-dong, Jung-gu. Until 14 April.
—Takashi Murakami: Flowers & Skulls
This is the first exhibition in Hong Kong for Japanese artist Murakami, famous for his pop and manga-influenced style. Murakami's work explores the overlapping emotions found in both joy and terror through the recurring motifs of smiling flowers and morbid skulls. Constantly blurring the lines between tradition and modernity, east and west and high art and commercialism, Murakami's art summons a sense of both "kawaii" (Japan's love of "cute" imagery) and satirical messages hidden with in it.
Gagosian Gallery, 7F Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central. Until 9 February.
—Inventing Abstraction: 1910-1925
Abstract expression has been with us since the beginning of time, yet it was only around a century ago that abstract artists began to be recognised as presenting meaningful works to the public. To celebrate, the Museum of Modern Art has put together the new Inventing Abstraction: 1910-1925 exhibition. It presents over 350 pieces, from paintings to sound poems, and from non-narrative dance to sculptures, to explore abstraction as both a historical idea and an artistic practice. Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Robert Delaunay and Marcel Duchamp are a few of the artists featured in the exhibition, which promises to show many important works not commonly seen in the US.
Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. Holiday opening times: Saturday to Thursday 9.30-17.30, Friday 9.30-20.00. Until 23 April.
—Steve Driscoll: North Swallow
Inspired by a 26-state road trip around the US, Canadian-born painter Steve Driscoll re-envisions the landscapes of his native Ontario. The large-scale contemporary paintings employ a vivid palette while the expressionistic style is achieved through the artist's innovative use of urethane-based paint poured from above to add texture and life to the paintings. Many of these works capture an animated sense of the wild yet bring a chemical modernity to the scene. Opened in spring 1996, the Angell Gallery supports an international roster of emerging artists.
Angell Gallery, 12 Ossington Avenue. Open from Wednesday to Saturday, 12.00-17.00. Until 12 January.

Just curious, but which major (i.e. multi-billion $$$) foundation isn´t progressive? Ford, Rockefeller, Heinz, Kellogg--all radically leftist. This gets us back to O´Sullivan´s Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.
I wonder what the captains of industry - Kellogg, Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller would think about what their foundations are doing today?It makes you realize how wise Olin was with his foundation.
Try and get into a union meeting without showing your union card.
Interesting how determined the unions are to protect their golden goose- illegal voters. Ironic how much they corrupt our system, yet rule theirs with an iron fist- or bat- depending on the circumstance.OP- Soros has gotten wary of too much exposure. Just because you don´t see him, doesn´t mean he isn´t pulling the strings. He has enough money to buy a lot of silence, especially from Unions.It´s long past time for Congress to use RICO laws to destroy the unions. Then again, how many politicians do you know who will stand up to the unions other than Scott Walker? Christie is selective in the unions he challenges.
So I expect their next campaign to call for the elimination of drivers´ licenses---obviously a ´thinly veiled expression of racism´.
If you can eliminate ALL voter ID Laws then the Ds will be able to steal elections into the next millennium ............. Why bother to Vote?#s 1 & 2You forgot Annenberg.
Even the UN minders were shocked that we don´t require ID. The system is forever rigged... If America doesn´t change voting laws & processes, we are doomed. Soro´s folks controlled the machines for crikey sakes!

The Falling Leaves
Words by Max Leonard
When the professional peloton take to the roads between Milan and Como for the Race of the Falling Leaves this coming Saturday, there's a good chance the foglie morte will still be clinging to their branches. The UCI last year ordered the Lombardia move two weeks forward, ostensibly so that participants can make the most of their World Champs form. It also makes room for a new ProTour race, the Tour of Hangzhou.
The Lombardia is the final Monument of the season, the traditional bookend to spring's Milan-Sanremo and, while there are an increasing amount of exotic and sunny leg-stretchers at the beginning of the year for those who are fast out of the traps – not to mention the Omloop and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne – to trump the Lombardia seems somehow wrong. With due respect to Huangzhou – which has been cancelled in its debut year [ inrng.com] due to inadequate preparation, adding to the farce – the race has lost before it has even started.
photo: Gavin Campbell
Firstly it's fitting that the European season, baptised in cycle-mad Flanders, is laid to rest in style, in the heartland of Italian cycling. Design blog ElCyclista accompanies its evocative pictures of the region with the note that: "They live and breathe riding here. Lombardia has over 700 registered cycling clubs with over 12,000 members. If you are wondering what they all do for the year, they have a choice of over 1200 races to choose from" [ Elcyclista]
Secondly is that it seems so embedded in cycling ancestry. Traditionally the final top-level race in the calendar, and a Monument to boot, it often takes in the legendary climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo chapel, a shrine to cycling's history and heroes. It's also somewhat of a final jolly, seeming to connect back to the time when riders – even the greatest – were winding down their road seasons and preparing for the six day races or a winter of cyclocross.
Black and white photos by Gavin Campbell
Historically, the race belongs to Coppi who has a record five wins. (In '46, '48 and '49, he took Milan-Sanremo, too, and in '49 the Giro and the Tour as well. Busy man.) His mentor Alfredo Binda has four, and the names left trailing, but victorious, in their wake read like a roll-call of Italian greats: Constante Girardengo, Cino Cinelli (one of his two Classics wins) and Gino Bartali; Motta, Bitossi, Gimondi and Moser. Sean Kelly won three times, Merckx and De Vlaeminck twice; Hinault, with characteristic sound and fury, set the seal on an unforgettable year in 1979 with a win in Como, and when the young Professor, Fignon, took the Tour, took the Lombardia again as if in compensation. Tom Simpson is the race's only British winner, in 1965, the year he was also world champion.
It's actually the most mutable of Monuments. Look back and you'll find that in its first incarnation, in 1905, it started and ended in Milan; since then, it has moved to almost every major town in Lombardy, the green, forested region in the lee of the Alps which rises towards the mountains from the industrial plain around Milan. In 2004, it even started in Switzerland. And for the first twenty years or so, it took place in mid November, when those leaves were well and truly fallen and the riders must have been wishing that the architects would hurry up with Milan's Vigorelli velodrome, not built until 1935.
Perhaps it's because its character and imagery are so firmly imprinted in the mind that it can be moved so much: the sharp, autumnal reds, oranges and greens contrasting with the pastel colours of the resort towns; the smooth black tarmac shining with surface water as against the deep green hills; the mists rising off the lake. When the weather's kind, it's the model to which all autumn riding must measure up. Close your eyes, and there it is – what's the Italian for 'mellow fruitfulness'? Of course, when it's absolutely chucking it down, it's good fun too, or at least to watch. Yet when the weather is too good – like last year's warm, sunny Falling Leaves – it loses something. And by taking place earlier in the year, it risks being diminished too much, too soon.
The Rapha Lombardia Jersey was inspired by this most romantic of classics, looking to a story which delves back into a darker era, to the time of the sport's first supervillain, Giovanni Gerbi. The 'Diavolo Rosso', as he was known, won the race's first edition, in 1905, on 12th November.
Never before has the Lombardia taken place in September. It is now being held six weeks earlier than it was in Gerbi's time. The Diavolo Rosso would scarcely recognise it now, in its modern pomp, beamed live into homes in scores of countries around the world. It is still the last Classic in the season, can still be a career highlight or burnish an already successful palmarès. In the last five years it's seen gutsy rides from big names such as Bettini, Cunego and Gilbert, all of whom have won twice or more, and the lesser-known Oliver Zaugg, whose well-placed attack won the race last year. Whatever the outcome this year, it'll be a race worth celebrating.

I started taking DXN's Ganoderma GL and RG capsules about 8 weeks |
I started taking DXN's Ganoderma GL and RG capsules about 8 weeks ago to assist with relapsing post-viral fatigue, allergies and sinus. I went through a typical healing response for several weeks, which included flu symptoms and headaches. These symptoms still pop up occasionally, however after reading up on how Ganoderma works, I know this is positive sign that my body is detoxifying well. I've noticed that my sinus problems have improved, as have my food allergies. My sleep is much deeper and rejuvenating recently, in fact I haven't slept this well in years. I'm really excited to see how I continue to improve in the future with Ganoderma. I find it actually boosts my concentration and lifts your spirits. As a busy sole trader, it is most important to have mental clarity throughout the day (the buck stops with me!), so this benefit has been of incredible value to me. The toothpaste and coffee is also amazing. I'm recommending it to everybody! Kind Regards, Kendall

A: The University of Northwestern Department of Music is large enough to give you a variety of musical experiences, but small enough to give you plenty of individual attention. You will have rigorous classroom experiences to prepare you for graduate school and vocations in the music industry. Our applied faculty members are highly skilled performers and teachers, experienced at turning out top-quality musicians. We have a diverse number of ensembles and a high level of excellence.
A: Like all classes at Northwestern, music classes, lessons, and ensembles are approached from a Christian worldview. All music faculty are committed to living out their faith both in and out of the classroom; we come alongside our students to encourage one another in our faith. A good example of this is in our ensembles, where Christian community is lived out. Each ensemble regularly spends time together in prayer and devotions. Additionally, worship and prayer are a vital component of ensemble retreats each semester. Ensemble concert tours strive for the highest level of musical excellence and are also approached from ministry and worship perspectives.
A: You do not have to be a music major in order to participate in music ensembles. The university has made a strong commitment to making it possible for non-majors to participate in ensembles, and approximately 2/3 of the 350 students involved in our ensembles each year are NOT music majors.
Choral/Vocal Groups • Varsity Men's Chorus • Women's Chorale • Northwestern Choir: a select group for mixed voices (SATB) • Chamber Singers: a small mixed voice ensemble that performs a variety of classical and jazz works • Opera Workshop: A unique feature of Northwestern's music program, the Opera Workshop produces scenes and/or full opera productions once per year.
Instrumental Groups • Symphonic Band • Orchestra • Jazz Band • Chamber Ensembles: We offer a number of small chamber ensembles for various groups of instruments (Chamber Winds, Brass Ensemble, Flute Choir, Saxophone Quartet, String Quartet, Clarinet Choir, Percussion Ensemble).
Worship Teams: The groups that lead worship in Northwestern Chapel and in the Oasis services on Wednesday are Department of Music ensembles, and are a partnership with the Campus Ministries Office.
A: We have a place for just about everyone! Although a placement audition is required for Varsity Men's Chorus or Women's Chorale, almost anyone can join, regardless of their ability level. Admission to the Northwestern Choir is by competitive vocal audition.
Joining an instrumental ensemble takes more musical background, since you need to have some ability on your instrument in order to play in the group.
A: This depends on the ensemble, but ensembles rehearse either 2 or 4 days per week, between 2.5- 5 hours total (again, depending on the ensemble).
A: Ensemble Auditions occur during Orientation Week before the start of each semester.
You may schedule your audition in the summer before you first semester at Northwestern by contacting the Music Office (651-631-5158; 888-878-5514; email@example.com).
Worship Team auditions also occur at the beginning of the semester, and are scheduled by the Campus Ministries Office (651-286-7490).
A: Yes! Tours are an important part of the ensemble program at Northwestern. The Varsity Men's Chorus,Women's Chorale and top piano students go on local/regional tours each year. The Symphonic Band, Orchestra, and Northwestern Choir tour annually. They are on a four-year rotation of local, regional, domestic (U.S.), and international destinations, so members of these ensembles will have an opportunity to go on an international tour one time during their four years at Northwestern. Recent international destinations include: Australia, Ireland (Symphonic Band); Estonia, Latvia, Finland (Northwestern Choir); France and Switzerland (Orchestra) and more exciting tours are being planned for the coming years.
A: The college underwrites much of the cost of each tour, but each student is responsible for an additional amount, which varies depending on the length and location of each tour. Local/regional tours are usually around $100. Domestic tours (e.g., Phoenix, New York, Florida) range from $400–$600. International tours usually range from $2,500–$3,000. There are multiple fund-raising opportunities with each tour, and many students can eliminate some or all of their tour costs by participating in fund raising.
A: You may choose to take private lessons for college credit through the Department of Music. If you have a strong piano background, you can also audition to be a paid student accompanist. If you have a very strong musical background, you may also be qualified to work as a student instructor in the Northwestern Academy of Music.
A: You do not have to audition in order to be a music minor. However, you should begin working on the coursework, lessons, and ensembles required for the minor as soon as possible (perhaps even in your first semester at Northwestern).
A: If you are serious about being a music major, taking private lessons on your instrument (or voice) is very important. Regardless of your main instrument, taking piano lessons is another very helpful thing to do (all Northwestern music majors must pass a piano proficiency exam before graduating). There are many other things you can do to prepare to be a music major such as: attending summer music camps/festivals; attending concerts in your area; and participating in your school or church music program (choir, band, orchestra, worship team).
• Music Ministry: The Bachelor of Science in Music (B.S.M.) with an emphasis in Music Ministry is designed to prepare students for vocational ministry as music directors and worship leaders in local church settings. • Music Education: The Bachelor of Music Education (B.M.E.) provides a degree and K-12 teaching licensure in either choral/general or instrumental/general music education. The music education programs normally take 4½ to 5 years to complete, including student teaching. • Performance/Composition: The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) allows you to focus on either performance or music composition. These degrees are designed for students who have a very strong background in music, and who desire to be professional performers or composers/arrangers. Both degrees prepare you for graduate music study. The performance degree prepares students for careers such as: opera singer, orchestral musician, soloist, and collaborative pianist. • Music: The Bachelor of Arts in Music (B.A.M.) is a general liberal arts degree with an emphasis in music. This degree allows you to concentrate in music while exploring many facets of general education studies and other areas of interest, such as ministry, business, etc.
A: Yes. We are very proud of the successes of all our graduates. Our B.M.E. Music Education graduates are highly sought-after for teaching positions. Our B.M. Performance graduates have a strong track record of acceptance into some of the finest graduate schools in the country, and many of them have established performing careers. Our B.A. graduates are successful in a variety of career paths within the music industry.
A: We have established a minimum requirement for musical background to help ensure your success as a music major. Auditions help us ensure the quality of our music ensembles, our music program, and the individual experience for each student.
A: All the forms and instructions you will need for the Music Audition Application Process may be found on our website (www.unwsp.edu/music) under "Music Admissions & Scholarships." A completed application, if you want to be a music major, includes:
1. Music Audition Application 2. Two Music Recommendation Forms, completed by teachers or directors who can accurately Assess your musical talent and work ethic. 3. A one-page personal essay detailing your musical goals and ambitions. 4. An audition recording 5. Taking the Online Theory Placement Exam: Results of this exam are used as part of the Music admissions decision, but we also use it for placement within our theory sequence (students can exempt some parts of the theory sequence based on their performance on this exam).
After reviewing an applicant's recording and other materials, the music faculty determine which students to invite for a live audition (students living more than 200 miles away may submit a recorded audition). These auditions usually occur in February or March.
A: Yes! You do not have to be a music major to receive a scholarship, however, higher award amounts are typically reserved for those declaring a music major.
A: Prospective students who would like to be considered for scholarships go through the Music Audition Application Process (same process and timeline as outlined for music majors above). All the forms and instructions you will need for the Music Audition Application Process may be found on our website (www.unwsp.edu/music) under "Music Admissions & Scholarships." The application and other materials are always due in January of your senior year.
A: There are very detailed instructions for what to put on your recording/perform at your live audition on our website (www.unwsp.edu/music) under "Scholarships and Auditions." Click on the PDF entitled: "Music Audition Repertoire." Follow the instructions carefully!
A: The amount of scholarship each student receives is based on four factors:
1. The amount of money we have available to award in a given year. 2. The specific needs of our ensembles (a particular instrument or voice type). 3. Your background and ability 4. Your music major status (higher amounts are typically reserved for music majors).
A: Using the four criteria above, scholarships range from a few hundred dollars per year for some non-music majors, up to $4,000 for music majors. The average non-major receives $900 per year and the average music major receives $2,500 per year. Music scholarships are added on top of all other financial aid, so it is very important to look at the bottom line when comparing your Northwestern financial aid package to other schools' offers.
A: The application and other materials are always due in January of your senior year. The specific due date is posted on the Department of Music web page.

DURBAN, South Africa—My share of the carbon dioxide my flight to Johannesburg emitted over 15 hours amounted to 1,391.3 kilograms, according to the helpful information provided by South African Airlines. Add a dollop of 53.8 kilograms of CO2 for the jet jaunt to Durban and you can see that the aviation industry—and the Durban climate talks—have an emissions problem.
In fact, flying now accounts for some 2 percent—and growing fast—of global greenhouse gas emissions, although the industry has pledged to stop that growth by 2020. According to the aviation industry, a full 80 percent of the roughly 650 million metric tons of CO2 annually emitted by aircraft are from those flying more than 1,500 kilometers (like my trip from New York City to Durban) for which there is no alternative mode of practical transport. And, given the energy density of kerosene, there really is no alternative to liquid fuel either—with the exception of lightweight solar-powered drones, electric planes cannot get off the ground. As for hydrogen, it is hard to carry enough of it and still have space for passengers, too.
That's why the U.S. military, a slew of airline companies, Boeing and others have invested heavily in jet fuel made from plants—the oils provided by weedy camelina or hardy jatropha shrubs or even algae. The fuels have successfully passed all trials—even delivering more thrust per gallon—and have now entered regular commercial use in the U.S. and Europe, promising to cut CO2 emissions by 80 percent, albeit at a premium price. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is giving out $7.7 million in contracts to such jet biofuel–makers.
"Everybody wants a solution to oil," says Jigar Shah, CEO of the Carbon War Room, an organization founded by Virgin Airlines founder Sir Richard Branson and others to combat climate change. "Aviation is where it's going to come first."
Unfortunately, there's a problem. As much as ethanol from corn turns out to be a bad biofuel idea, the climate-friendly value of these bio-jet fuels depends largely on how they are produced. A fuel made from palm oil turns out to be worse for greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere than jet fuel refined from petroleum because it involves clearing rainforest or peatland. To help solve this problem, the Carbon War Room has launched RenewableJetFuels.org, which ranks all biofuel companies on sustainability, among other criteria.
"We need to ensure that these fuels are made in a way that doesn't put pressure on ecosystems that are already stressed," says Suzanne Hunt, who is leading the Carbon War Room's aviation effort. "They must not put pressure on food security and we must make sure the greenhouse gas reductions are real and verified."
Per the Carbon War Room's main criteria of scalability (Can it be made in bulk?); sustainability (Can it be made with minimal environmental damage?); and economic viability (Can it be made at a profit?), the top five producers include: Lanzatech, SG Biofuels, AltAir, Solazyme and Sapphire—all of which have already provided biofuels to fly jets.
All of these fuels cost more than petroleum-based jet fuel. "For airlines, a third or more of the operating costs are fuel," Hunt notes, arguing that locking in bio–jet fuel at a consistent price will help airlines hedge that cost. "The E.U. including aviation under the cap [of its emissions trading program] is a major incentive."

Deante Burton had to feel weird playing in the Kansas Shrine Game on Saturday.
After working out with Kansas State football players all summer, he took a step back to the high school ranks where everyone is a little bit slower and the quarterbacks put a lot less zip on their passes.
"The quarterbacks we have at Kansas State have really mastered their craft," Burton said. "Collin Klein, Daniel Sams, Tavarius Bender, those guys throw very well. It was a little different for me adjusting to a wider thrown ball, maybe an under-thrown ball, but it made me better."
Though Burton was the most targeted receiver in the Kansas all-star game, the Wildcats freshman didn't see a quality throw all night. He managed to catch three passes for 19 yards, but he spent most of the game leaping and diving all over the place for poorly thrown balls or watching them go way over his head.
But here's the impressive thing about Burton: He still managed to show off his talent.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Manhattan product not only looked like the top receiver on the field, he looked like the most athletic receiver out there, too. He saw action as a kick returner, and amassed 127 all-purpose yards that gave his team's offense good field position.
Fellow incoming freshman receiver Collin Sexton, a walk-on from Abilene and the younger brother of Curry Sexton, wasn't surprised.
"He's a good leader, he's got great work ethic and he's a great athlete," Sexton said. "He's so shifty and quick. I expect a lot of good things out of him."

It's a tough job market out there in California, with the average search taking nine months — and up to a year if you were unemployed seeking work, according to a new survey by Accenture, the global management consulting firm.
In October, one out of eight Californians (12.4%) was unemployed.
"We find that many companies prefer to hire from the pool of employed persons, which can further contribute to the slow decline in unemployment," said Chris DiGiorgio, Accenture's California managing director. "We encourage our clients to think about the 12.4% of unemployed Californians as a valuable source of talent and consider opportunities to re-train some of these workers to fill the skills gap many face."
Among the survey's other California findings:
The results were based on interviews with 306 Californians 18-55 years old during the month of October. The respondents included unemployed job seekers who previously held a full-time position and are actively looking; first-time job seekers 18-30 years old who never had a job before and are looking, and employed workers who started a new job in the last 24 months after being unemployed four months or longer.
So tell us …
Did you miss these recent stories on jobs and the economy …
Sounds about right. Laid off in 2009 and finally started working a few months ago. Good luck to everybody out there–it's tough.
Question being, if you have a one year gap on your resume, do employers even want you at that point ?
What's the big deal? If you have money, why work?
If I wanted to stop working, I have enough money to cover about three to five years of being unemployed.
Must be nice to have money. Your obviously not among the regular people who are barely making it month to month. I have a college degree but the market has changed so much that every job requires experience in their field and if you dont have it you wont get a look. How many people on this post do you think can afford not to work?
It does make it more difficult, no doubt. I have been unemployed for over a year now, and I have a hard enough time just getting interviews, much less getting hired.
The only thing one can do is keep trying, because the alternative, giving up, definitely will not help the situation.
I'm going to be unemployed for 99 weeks exactly, then I'll start looking…
I guess you are fortunate to have a job. It easy to say when you are not in the situation where you think every one out there try to take advantage of the system, the unemployment check so little it not enough to pay you rent, feed your kids and say good bye to your heath insurance. After 99 weeks a job just fall right on your head from the sky…
Please keep your job and feel bless while you have one.
Two and a half years, was actively looking all that time, and took temp work when it was available. But it was never full-time or consistent pay.
It's really tough for mid-lifers–we're OVERqualified for almost everything (at least that's what the companies say).
Keep trying, best of luck to those looking for a job.
Yeah, that's one problem for mid-lifers; you have debt and a certain level of income is needed to pay off that debt. The younger-generation doesn't have house payments so they can work for a lot less.
you're so right
I was laid off in 2007 from a professional position in my field. I had to take on a p/t retail job that was only seasonal and lasted a few months. Then I bounced around to about 4 or 5 other p/t jobs that were way beneath my skill set and typical salary just to bring some money in (and to stay busy, working because I didn't want to just receive unemployment).
It took 3 years to finally land a job in my field of choice, and I have a college degree. I'm 31 years old, too, so I'm not a middle-aged or older person complaining about not being able to find another job in my field/refusing to take something beneath me. You have to do what you have to do.
It's been 6 months for me this year and I still can't land a job! I've been turned down by every place I've applied to! their excuse for not wanting to hire me that my experience doesn't meet their qualifications! but I've worked 10 years in retail and thats the places ive been turned down from!
I don't believe your looking hard enough. Retail, a growing industry and especially at this time, is REALLY easy to get a job.
Were you management and are you expecting that same position?
Believe me, I've been looking extremely hard! Im not in retail management. I've worked sale's and customer service in retail. I have no bad marks or anything else bad on my records.
With your experience they might think you want too much money. I went from $23/hr. as a proofreader to building shelves at Kmart for $8/hr., temporarily. Then as my EDD money started to fade away, I delivered pizzas and did background acting for the same hourly rate.
No, it's not easy right now. In fact I think the reason people were avoiding me was that they'd expect me to take nothing less than what I used to make before I was laid off. I accepted unemployment as long a I could and submitted applications everywhere and got nothing.
But now that my resume shows I went from $23/hr. to $8/hr. and back up to mu current rate of $12/hr., it's an indication to potential employers that I'm willing to accept less than my former proofreader rate. They may see paying me $15/hr. as a bargain but I'd take it in a heartbeat.
a = as
mu = my
I have fast fingers. This thing needs an Edit function :)
Proofreader? Dude, you need to be more careful. You're not doing yourself any favors!!! lol
I have actually asked for $8 an hour for every place I applied to because that's all I got at my last job. Im not very picky either.
I've been out of work since the end of February. Over the summer the job search was BRUTAL!!! Only one interview the whole time, and that was out-of-state. Things have gotten better in terms of prospects, and the interviews are coming steadily now at about two or three a week, but no offers yet. I figure something's going to give here pretty soon (I hope).
Before this season I did get interviews, but was always told there was an internal candidate or someone with "industry experience". Now having been laid off again I'm not even getting interviews – even from recruiters who are not even willing to submit me for jobs for which I am overly qualified becuase they know their clients won't even consider me.
Peple keep saying be prepared to take any job – well I am – but I can't force potential employers to employ me if they think it's a risk taking on someone over-qualified who is willing to take a drastic cut in pay. I'm also over 40 – there are so many younger people out there that I'm not even in the running most of the time.
most of these retail jobs want you to speak spanish! Every interview I've been to they have asked me if I spoke Spanish, Korean or Chinese!
@justintyme: When there's a paycheck involved I do much, much better :)
Good luck to everyone looking! The one thing that stood out in the survey though…89% are only looking for jobs within California…that could be a problem, particularly as the recession drags on…i have moved out of state twice for work, and to me that's part of being "adaptable/flexible"…which 72% in the survey rate as being necessary…
This economic meltdown is STILL rolling in Cali-FOR-nye-a and it's not going to get better any time soon.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo will likely miss the remainder of the season after tests Sunday revealed a torn ACL in his right knee.
Rondo was hurt during Friday's double-overtime loss at Atlanta and had been receiving treatment for what was originally diagnosed as a hyperextended knee. He was a late scratch for Sunday's game against Miami and was instead sent to a Boston hospital for tests.
The team revealed the severity of the injury Sunday afternoon and said a date for surgery has yet to be determined.
Rondo, voted an All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference, is averaging 13.7 points and an NBA-best 11.1 assists in 38 games this season.

Thread: What is a Shin Splint?
What is a Shin Splint?
For a while I've been having pain in my legs. The pain occurs exactly between my calf muscle and my bones. I feel this pain when I jog or run. Sometimes long walks also trigger this pain.
I haven't been training or played badminton since my last LIBA workshop and as it is only two days to go for my next LIBA workshops I thought I will go for jogging and prepare myself for the LIBA weekend. I went for jogging with my friend and after 5-10 minutes into the jogging I started to feel the pain in my legs. Initially the pain was bearable but the pain gradually started to increase and after 15 mins I couldn't stand it anymore. It was so painful and it started to paralyse my legs. The pain is on both my legs right between my calf and the bones. It was so painful I couldn't even walk properly.
My friend asked me which part in my legs are painful and explained to him where the pain is. Finally he said "You can kiss your LIBA weekend good bye" I was bloody surprised and I told him its just pain probably because of lack of exercise and asked why did you say that. He replied it could probably be "Shin Splint" and he advised me to go and see a doctor.
Two days to go for my LIBA workshop and this is the last thing I ever wanted to hear from him. What the heck is "Shin Splint?"
I'm really disappointed with myself. I'm disappointed because I hate to give all kind of excuses to the coach. He is going to tell all of us to run for warming up and I'll be the only one there saying to the coach I can't run because of blah blah blah. I did the same thing in my last workshop and I will be doing it again this weekend. He is going get annoyed and sick with all my excuses. He may think I'm not dedicated and just a time waster.
oh well I have to face this situation this weekend. I just have to be brave and give my best. There is another workshop by end of August and that will give me a solid one month time to get fit and prove that I love badminton and I'm dedicated as everyone else who attend the workshop.Last edited by sunny; 07-28-2004 at 06:07 PM.
See this link
Usually, you have a micro fracture/tear and should rest. Definitely see a doctor. You don't want to aggravate the fracture/tear and have it turn into a bigger problem. Yeah, you can kiss your LIBA workshop good bye.
See http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0161.htm for treatment but as always consult your MD.
07-29-2004, 03:10 AM #3Originally Posted by Winex West Can
I checked the links you have provided and the symptoms they have posted and the problems I have are the same. I've an appointment with my local GP (doctor) today.
I will be taking rest for the next two days and will somehow attend the LIBA weekend. The fact is I have to give excuses to my coach once again I really hate giving excuses but I can't do anything about that. I will sit out the running sessions and probably won't play games. But I still want to attend but will take things easy this weekend. Don't want to miss out all the techniques he is teaching.
Thanks for the links once again
Shin splint should be pain in the FRONT of the leg, not between the calf and the leg. Between the calf and leg could be the soleus (sp?) muscle, which is like the calf muscle for when your knees are bent (and is used much in badminton, but often overlooked in stretching).
Shin splints occur when your calf muscles are too strong compared to your shins. When doing strenuous exercise that causes your calf to tighten up, if it is too strong (or shins not used to it), this unbalanced contracting on one side of your leg bone causes great pain. (or something along these lines)
The crappy thing about shin splints is that once you get them, theres nothing you can really do about them, aside from putting your lower legs in ice water for 15 minutes a few times a day right after you get them, to try to stem the damage. If you keep exercising while you still have them, it will just get worse, and quite painful.
To help prevent shin splints, theres only one stretch I know of that can be done. What you do is stand in a half lunge (like, a lazy, almost-standing upright lunge) and you rock back and forth, each time rocking forth you try and "push," your foot downwards and forwards through your shoe. Do this for each leg. When doing this, the part of your body that should be moving the most is your hips. Hope you get the idea from the description. Stretching after you get shin splints doesn't help them heal.
To strengthen your shins, I think that backwards sprinting helps, although I'm not too sure. Basically, if you're training hard at least twice a week, you won't have to worry about them after a while. Just remember to do the stretch I've written above; the coach I learned it from said it is the most important stretch before playing/training badminton.
Running on concrete leads to getting shin splits i heard...
So i guess it's a good idea to run on grass or something, whevever it's around
The term "shin splints" seems to designate any of several injuries to the lower leg area. The kind I had many years ago are the ones Phil described. The pain was on the front, inner part of the lower leg bones. I got them by rope jumping on cement because a wood floor was not available when I was young and stupid and didn't pay attention to what my body was trying to tell me. Thankfully, I didn't have to stop playing badminton for long, but I could only run on grass for a few months, and it was maybe a couple of years before I could jump rope without some kind of pain, but never again on a hard surface.
