      <description>I’ve been having a couple of issues with MusTech.Net so if things have been a little “different” with your experience, I apologize!
&lt;p&gt;I’m still waiting for the PodPress update to be published. So you will not be able to listen to the podcasts directly from MusTech.Net until that is resolved.&amp;nbsp; I’ve also had issues with my ODEO feed in the right Sidebar.&amp;nbsp; It was causing a script error with the ODEO player.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, I totally messed the site up when I was upgrading a number of plugins that I use and lost 3 of my last posts (Despite by daily backup!!!!) so I had to reconstruct those.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh well!&amp;nbsp; Things are “kinda” back on track now!&amp;nbsp; Well I’m at it I might as well also state that I’m about 6 weeks behind on the ME Blogger Project.&amp;nbsp; My goal is to get that turned around very soon!&amp;nbsp; Stay tuned!&lt;/p&gt;

      <category>enhanced podcast music</category>
      <description>Even though I can’t post here as I normally do due to the problem with PodPress.&amp;nbsp; I’ve went ahead and put our new podcast up at at our &lt;a title="Check it out now!" href="http://mustech.podomatic.com/" target=_blank&gt;Podomatic Host Site. &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;With this episode we have begun offering two versions of our podcast: A Standard mp3 based podcast and an &lt;strong&gt;ENHANCED podcast&lt;/strong&gt; that is in the wma format. 
&lt;p&gt;The ENHANCED podcast will allow anyone who has downloaded the file to not only have a great audio of our show, but also have referenced websites automatically be opened, in time, as the podcast plays.&amp;nbsp; It actually is a totally cool and more educational way to experience a podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until I get them “up” here, you can find our latest podcast, entitled HD Radio, Earsets, RIS and More!, at our Podomatic host site:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the &lt;em&gt;Standard Podcast&lt;/em&gt; follow this link:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://mustech.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2008-08-03T21_22_04-07_00"&gt;http://mustech.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2008-08-03T21_22_04-07_00&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the &lt;em&gt;Enhanced Podcast&lt;/em&gt;, follow this link (make sure you check the notes within the post at Podomatic&amp;nbsp;so that you can have the full experience of the enhancements!):&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://mustech.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2008-08-03T21_35_18-07_00"&gt;http://mustech.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2008-08-03T21_35_18-07_00&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ll be posting these epidosdes&amp;nbsp;at MusTech.net as I normally do when all the kinks are worked out with WordPress and PodPress…&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>A quick announcement to let you all know that Darren and I have finished our latest podcast and will be posting it at MusTech.Net as soon as the &lt;em&gt;PodPress&lt;/em&gt; folks figure out what is wrong with the integration of Podpress 8.8 and WordPress version 2.6.
&lt;p&gt;There are two posts about these issues&amp;nbsp;from podcastingnews.com:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first announcement of the issue can be found at&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.podcastingnews.com/2008/07/18/wordpress-26-update-breaks-podpress/"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#af8c00&gt;http://www.podcastingnews.com/2008/07/18/wordpress-26-update-breaks-podpress/&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And a temporary “fix” can be found here about turning off the revisions feature of WordPress at&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.podcastingnews.com/2008/07/26/plug-in-fixes-podpress-problem-with-wordpress-26/"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#af8c00&gt;http://www.podcastingnews.com/2008/07/26/plug-in-fixes-podpress-problem-with-wordpress-26/&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The folks over at mightyseek.com have promised a fix for the problem this coming week.&amp;nbsp; I’m going to wait for their update, so if you’re experiencing a problem with this hold tight, the solutions will be coming to you in a matter of days!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Host Comments:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am very excited to host this edition of the carnival with over a dozen of VERY interesting articles and topics. There are a number of new contributers and bloggers in this edition. As in the last edition, posts were saught from any topic related to music education. This edition contains such a treasure trove of knowledge that I’m sure you will want to read them all in one sitting… if you can!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joel and I are very excited about the tremendous growth in the field of music education bloggers and we (as well as many of our other good friends!) are working hard to continue to provide unique opportunities for them and continue to grow the music education blog community. The Music Education Blog Carnival is just one of those ways to continue to introduce ourselves to each other and the world through our writings about a topic we are passionate about!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are reading this and are an active music blogger, I encourage you to join our next carnival which will be hosted by the Elementary Music/Music Technology blog and current TI:ME president, Amy M. Burns. Also, please consider joining the &lt;a title="Join Our Campaign!" href="http://mustech.net/100-me-bloggers" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#af8c00&gt;ME Blogger campaign&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The campaign started in January 2008 and is finishing on December 31st 2008. The goal…to identify and solicit 100 of the top music educator bloggers known in…, well, our known universe!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish you all the best on your upcoming school years and encourage you to “get back to blogging” as you all are “getting back to school!”. Keep the Faith and the great blogging coming!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;div class=cc-block align="left"&gt;I’m already getting in gear for band camp.&amp;nbsp; We start on August 14th.&amp;nbsp; It’s going to be a great year… I know this already because we’re taking the marching band and the jazz ensemble to Disney World!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The kids are pretty excited about it…&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=cc-block align="left"&gt;It’s also time to think about re-tooling your blog and getting some of your ideas up.&amp;nbsp; Why not jump start your blog with a couple of posts before you head back to school to get into the “swing of things” AND submit one to the Music Education Blog Carnival!&amp;nbsp; The August blog carnival is almost ready to be posted and you still have a few days to get your submissions into me and Joel…so take advantage of them!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=cc-block align="left"&gt;Submit your Music Education Blog Carnival entry to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" class=cc-block align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here’s the link for your blog post submittal for the carnival:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="COLOR: #af8c00"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" class=cc-block align="left"&gt;I don’t have complete access to the back-end at the blog carnival site and will be working with Joel to see if we can have the site give more feedback to you when you submit your entries.&amp;nbsp; All entries will be considered and most will be posted provided they meet the music education topic criteria for the carnival. Stay Tuned!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" class=cc-block align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img alt="Dr. Prof. Joseph M.

&lt;p&gt;Dust off one of your old blog posts (A brilliant one!) or create a new one, but don’t miss being in this edition!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I know it’s hard with the summer to blog and keep up with all this web 2.0 stuff, especially for teachers.&amp;nbsp; Lord knows I’m having a time keeping it all together this month as well!&amp;nbsp; I’m building a deck on my house (Yes myself!!!) and working on two web projects (top secret!) and trying to get ready for the college marching season (Go Wolverines!)…&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; With all of this, even I’m&amp;nbsp;having trouble keeping up with the ME Blogger project and emails…I’ll get back to you all soon, I promise!&amp;nbsp;AND will have the new ME Bloggers listed by the end of next week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this Music Education Blog Carnival edition,&amp;nbsp;you&amp;nbsp;may choose any music education related topic to be part of this project.&amp;nbsp; If you don’t have a blog, become a ME Blogger today!!! Check out this link: &lt;a href="http://www.mustech.net/100-me-bloggers"&gt;http://www.mustech.net/100-me-bloggers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and then visit the carnival!!! &lt;img class=wp-smiley alt=:) src="http://mustech.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;SPAN id=more-477&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;That’s all for now, don’t forget to participate with this carnival as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp; I will be turning all of the Music Education Carnival posts into a PDF -kind of a free downloadable magazine of sorts once things get back to a more normal schedule for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;August Edition&lt;/em&gt; of the Music Education Blog Carnival is &lt;em&gt;Coming to town&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;AND if you are a Music Ed. blogger you will DEFINETLEY want to be a part of it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a title="Link to Joel" href="http://soyouwanttoteach.com/" target=_blank&gt;Joel&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I started the&amp;nbsp;Music Education Blog Carnival last month and it was a HUGE success! Over 22 Music education bloggers participated!&amp;nbsp; Let’s continue the forward steam!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The August edition will be posted on August 1st right here on &lt;a title="You're here already!" href="http://mustech.net/" target=_blank&gt;MUSTECH.NET&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If you missed the last edition you can check out it’s music education informational packed post of posts&amp;nbsp;here:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/the-first-ever-music-education-blog-carnival/"&gt;http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/the-first-ever-music-education-blog-carnival/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initial two posts annoucing the Music Education Carnival are here:&lt;br/&gt;* &lt;a href="http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/announcing-the-music-education-blog-carnival/"&gt;http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/announcing-the-music-education-blog-carnival/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;* &lt;a href="http://mustech.net/2008/06/23/music-education-blog-carnival-coming"&gt;http://mustech.net/2008/06/23/music-education-blog-carnival-coming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This months Blog Carnival will again be open to any music education and music education related topic.&amp;nbsp; If you are a &lt;a title="Join the ME Bloggers or Find Out What We're About!" href="http://mustech.net/100-me-bloggers" target=_blank&gt;ME Blogger,&lt;/a&gt; or a blogger that writes about music and education then you need to join in on the carnival fun!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re also looking for a Music Education “Carni” veteran to host the next Music Education Carnival, let me know if you are interested, ASAP.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Already a Music&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Education Carnival Veteran?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp; Here’s the link for your blog post submittal: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Click the link to be sent to the Music Education Carnival submission page.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m going to re-post the SIMPLE, EASY, and EXTREMELY USEFUL FAQ, I made about Blog Carnivals below.&amp;nbsp; Check this out to see how simple it is to become a “rider” on the Music Education Carnival:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;SPAN id=more-476&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a blog Carnival?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A blog carnival is way to extend and/or create a community of bloggers that have great things to say about a particular topic… in our case, &lt;em&gt;Music Education&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A blog carnival functions as a mini-magazine focused around a particular topic and a type of written edition is created that surrounds the topic.&amp;nbsp; A blog&amp;nbsp;article is submitted for inclusion in an upcoming edition, approved, and then posted together with other’s submissions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is allowed to participate in the Carnival?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone that has an article, new or old, that has something positive to contribute to the topic.&amp;nbsp; All are encouraged to take part with this, particularly the &lt;a title="Who are the ME Bloggers!" href="http://www.mustech.net/100-me-bloggers" target=_self&gt;ME Bloggers&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp; As &lt;a title="Link to Joe's Annoucemet" href="http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/announcing-the-music-education-blog-carnival/" target=_blank&gt;Joel states in his announcemet about the carnival&lt;/a&gt;, “If you have a great article … that is somehow buried in [your] archives of your blog that might relate- dig it out, dust it off, and submit it!”&amp;nbsp; …or write a new one on your blog for inclusion with this carnival!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I Submit my article/blog post?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The process is actually very easy.&amp;nbsp; The Blog is being Hosted by &lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/"&gt;http://blogcarnival.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and you can find the Music Education Submittal Page right here: &lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html"&gt;http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Click the link to be sent to the Music Education Carnival submission page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do I submit/write about?&lt;/strong&gt;It looks as though the first edition is going to be&amp;nbsp; very music education “topic open”, any topic that relates to music education, in some way can be chosen.&amp;nbsp; I choose to submit my article about &lt;a title="Link to my article about online jamming" href="http://mustech.net/2008/03/08/top-ten-websitesprograms-that-allow-musicians-to-jam-or-collaborate-online" target=_blank&gt;online jamming &lt;/a&gt;(Not for any particular reason…).&amp;nbsp; Next month, I will host the carnival, and I’ll try to narrow down the topic a little more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who should participate in this?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every blogger that has something positive or constructive to say about music education, music technology, or a music education related topic.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It’s free, it’s free exposure for you and your blog, and it’s community constructive!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There have been so many of you posting great, articles… pick one of them and submit them to this carnival.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It only takes a minute or two.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Take the time to make this a success and give us the impetus to do continue doing this in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Submit your article!" href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html" target=_blank&gt;Again, you can submit your blog article for inclusion here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; See you at the carnival!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img alt="Dr. Joseph M.

      <category>music education blog</category>
      <description>Joel over at &lt;a href="http://www.soyouwantoteach.com/"&gt;www.soyouwantoteach.com&lt;/a&gt; and I &lt;a title="Link to self" href="http://mustech.net/" target=_blank&gt;(MusTech.Net!)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;have colloborated together to put&amp;nbsp;on the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;First Ever Music Education Blog Carnival&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; …so…. What is a&amp;nbsp;blog carnival and how can I be part of this ground-breaking experience?&amp;nbsp; Read on worthy music educator!
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a blog Carnival?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A blog carnival is way to extend and/or create a community of bloggers that have great things to say about a particular topic… in our case, &lt;em&gt;Music Education&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A blog carnival functions as a mini-magazine focused around a particular topic and a type of written edition is created that surrounds the topic.&amp;nbsp; A blog&amp;nbsp;article is submitted for inclusion in an upcoming edition, approved, and then posted together with other’s submissions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is allowed to participate in the Carnival?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone that has an article, new or old, that has something positive to contribute to the topic.&amp;nbsp; All are encouraged to take part with this, particularly the &lt;a title="Who are the ME Bloggers!" href="http://www.mustech.net/100-me-bloggers" target=_self&gt;ME Bloggers&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp; As &lt;a title="Link to Joe's Annoucemet" href="http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com/announcing-the-music-education-blog-carnival/" target=_blank&gt;Joel states in his announcemet about the carnival&lt;/a&gt;, “If you have a great article … that is somehow buried in [your] archives of your blog that might relate- dig it out, dust it off, and submit it!”&amp;nbsp; …or write a new one on your blog for inclusion with this carnival!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I Submit my article/blog post?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The process is actually very easy.&amp;nbsp; The Blog is being Hosted by &lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/"&gt;http://blogcarnival.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and you can find the Music Education Submittal Page right here: &lt;a href="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html"&gt;http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4443.html&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Click the link to be sent to the Music Education Carnival submission page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;SPAN id=more-473&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;What do I submit/write about?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It looks as though the first edition is going to be&amp;nbsp; very music education “topic open”, any topic that relates to music education, in some way can be chosen.&amp;nbsp; I choose to submit my article about &lt;a title="Link to my article about online jamming" href="http://mustech.net/2008/03/08/top-ten-websitesprograms-that-allow-musicians-to-jam-or-collaborate-online" target=_blank&gt;online jamming &lt;/a&gt;(Not for any particular reason…).&amp;nbsp; Next month, I will host the carnival, and I’ll try to narrow down the topic a little more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who should participate in this?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every blogger that has something positive or constructive to say about music education, music technology, or a music education related topic.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It’s free, it’s free exposure for you and your blog, and it’s community constructive!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There have been so many of you posting great, articles… pick one of them and submit them to this carnival.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It only takes a minute or two.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Take the time to make this a success and give us the impetus to do continue doing this in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=dropcap-first align="left"&gt;Hello all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I just came back from Duck, NC after a 9 day vacation and I feel great!&amp;nbsp; It was over 100 degrees (F) for a couple of days but then it settled into the mid-eighties.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It was great not to worry about anything technology, administrative,&amp;nbsp;or music-career-related for awhile.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I will be catching up on the ME Blogger campaign and a number of emails over the next few days, so keep your eye on MusTech.net for a number of posts.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hoping all of you music educators have a great AND relaxing summer!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Did You Ever Wonder If There Was A Global UnSubscribe Spam List?</title>

      <description>If you’ve ever wondered if there was a way to globally unsubscribe to spammers and spam list, you’re out of luck.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;There is no such thing&lt;/strong&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I was researching this topic&amp;nbsp;today and found a fairly authoritative answer at SpamHaus (SpamHaus is one of the “Big-Guns”&amp;nbsp;working to reduce email spam)&amp;nbsp;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;SpamHaus&amp;nbsp;points out a number of&amp;nbsp;so-called “spam removal” services&amp;nbsp;being run by seemingly would-be do-gooders are, in fact, SPAM or &lt;em&gt;Email Collectors&lt;/em&gt; themselves.&amp;nbsp; They state that “Any system that wants money in exchange for removing your address from a spammer’s list is a scam”.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~&lt;em&gt;Seems logical to me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest con of them all seems to be the Direct Marketing Associations “spam opt-out service”.&amp;nbsp; SpamHaus states that the very mission of the group is to “advance the interest of junk-email senders.”&amp;nbsp; They go on to state that some sites literally “spray” hundreds of millions of emails out per day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What about sending a “Remove Me” from your list” back to the spammers?&amp;nbsp; Unless you are SURE that you are receiving a legitimate email from someone YOU DID subscribe to (E.G. JC Penney, Buy.com, FTD, etc.).&amp;nbsp; NEVER unsubscribe to a would-be spammer.&amp;nbsp; It only confirms your email address a working, legitimate, valid address.&amp;nbsp; By sending the “Remove Me”, you are actually setting yourself up for even more unwanted emails.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To read the article I found from SmapHaus about remove lists,&amp;nbsp;click here:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spamhaus.org/removelists.html"&gt;http://www.spamhaus.org/removelists.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To read about more about sending a “Remove Request” back to a potential Spammer, click here:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spamhaus.org/removeisformugs.html"&gt;http://www.spamhaus.org/removeisformugs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best wishes for a SPAM free Summer!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>I just received an email from the &lt;a title="Link to Midwest" href="http://midwestclinic.org/" target=_blank&gt;Midwest Clinic &lt;/a&gt;announcing the presenters and clinics for this year.&amp;nbsp; If you are a band, orchestra, or music educator that has not made the “pilgrimage” to Chicago for the Midwest clinic, I STRONGLY encourage you to consider going this year.&amp;nbsp; Attending the Midwest clinic will positively change your outlook about our profession regardless of where you are currently “at” in your career and current situation. 
&lt;p&gt;One of the most interesting clinics I attend last year featured Francis McBeth, James Barnes, Eric Ewazen, and Mark Rodgers.&amp;nbsp; It was entitled, &lt;a title="Link to Post" href="http://mustech.net/2007/12/20/francis-mcbeth-james-barnes-eric-ewazen-mark-rogers-so-you-want-to-be-a-composer" target=_blank&gt;“So you want to be a composer”&lt;/a&gt;and I wrote about it here if you are interested in reading abou it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The clinics look to be very interesting this year; here is the tentative list of presentations and presenters from the Midwest Clinic site (&lt;a title="PreRegister Here" href="https://www.midwestclinic.org/preregistration/preregistration.asp" target=_blank&gt;You can pre-register for&amp;nbsp;Midwest here&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
