David De Gea primed for final push























Manchester United enter the final straight in the race for the Barclays Premier League top four with a home game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Following the latest international break, it’s domestic action all the way from here on in, with the Reds playing on each of the eight weekends between now and the last Sunday of the season on 24 May.

Tough tests against the three sides above United in the table await but, after the back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Liverpool, Louis van Gaal’s men are upbeat and well placed to secure the top-four spot that has always been the goal this term.
"We have to qualify for the Champions League no matter what," goalkeeper David De Geatold FIFA.com earlier this week. "We already missed out last season, and a team like Manchester United cannot do that two years in a row."
As we approach a stage in the season famously described by Sir Alex Ferguson as 'squeaky-bum time', United will need cool heads to achieve the necessary results.
And in De Gea, the Reds have one of the most level-headed shot-stoppers in the business. It’s a trait that has helped the Spaniard enjoy another superb season – and, he feels, aided the rest of his team-mates.
"I’m a composed, calm type, which helps me in my profession," De Gea said. "As a keeper, you need to convey a sense of calm to the rest of the team."

Dr. William Everett Pens New Book on the History of the Kansas City Philharmonic

Image
The Conservatory is pleased to note that Dr. William A. Everett, Curators' Professor of Musicology, has written Music for the People:  A History of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra, 1933–82.  Dr. Everett notes, "When I was asked to write a history of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra, which was the professional orchestra in Kansas City from 1933 to 1982, I thought it would be a fairly straightforward task.  I was genuinely surprised at the wealth of musical treasures that existed in Kansas City thanks to the Philharmonic.  Writing the book became a series of discoveries and 'wow' moments that happened nearly every day.  I am particularly grateful to the Norman B. Kahn family for entrusting me with telling the Philharmonic’s story, to Michael Stern for writing a generous foreword to the book, and to everyone who shared their memories of the orchestra and its legacy."

She started five years ago as a kindergartner at a boarding school near Eldoret. She's in fourth grade today. "I had grandchildren and great-grandchildren who shunned school," she says by phone from Ndalat. "That made me mad. I decided I have to show them that education is important."
