APSU’s Gateway Chamber Ensemble Recognized on Grammy Nomination List
Clarksville, TN – Last week, the Grammy Award nominations were announced, and some of the expected names – Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and Eminem – were at the top of the list. But the Grammys recognize more than simply pop music, and if you were to scroll down that list, you would see the category for “Producer of the Year, Classical,” and the name Blanton Alspaugh.
Alspaugh’s name might not carry the weight in some circles as say a Lady Gaga, but in the classical music world, he’s a respected and revered producer. And, according to the Grammy website, one of the reasons he was nominated this year for a coveted Grammy Award stems from his work producing the first album for a chamber ensemble founded by several Austin Peay State University music faculty members. That group, the Gateway Chamber Ensemble, was also considered for nominations in three other categories, including “Best Small Ensemble Performance.”

Daily Devotional from Brother Shepherd
The other morning I was reading in the book of Lamentations 1:1-3. This brought to mind an old saying that I’ve heard all of my life, “What goes around comes around.”
The Bible tells us that we reap what we sow. I was reading theses verses from the Living Bible this morning, “Jerusalem’s streets, once thronged with people, are silent now. Like a widow broken with grief, she sits alone in her mourning. She, once queen of nations, is now a slave. [Read more]
The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services
The economic data calendar was thin. The Fed’s Flow of Funds data showed that household net worth rose $1.2 trillion in Q310 (to $54 trillion), down $10 trillion from 2007. The trade deficit narrowed unexpectedly in October. On 60 Minutes, Fed Chairman Bernanke said that the Fed could extend its asset purchases if conditions warrant.
With no major economic reports, market participants debated the outlook for 2011. President Obama and Republican congressional leaders agreed to a package that would extend the Bush tax cuts for two years, extend unemployment insurance benefits by 13 months, and cut the employee-paid portion of payroll taxes for a year. While many see this as “stimulus,” it’s more of a non-negative (preventing growth from weakening rather than driving it sharply forward). European debt worries continued to simmer, as Europe debated the possible creation of a euro-bond (not backed by specific countries). The fixed-income rout continued (in the U.S. and around the world), sending the 10-year Treasury back to levels last seen in June. [Read more]
