the cornhole bags… then exchanged words” with the suspect and his friend.

At first both sides walked away, but after sitting in their car for a few minutes, police say Eyongegbe and his friend decided to get out and fight Frazier’s friend.

During that fight, Eyongegbe allegedly confessed to police “Frazier continued towards him and he shot Frazier one time.”

Police say all too often shootings stem from the inability to resolve conflicts without gunfire.

Just last week three men were shot and one man died following an argument outside a gas station on Mooresville road.

Last month, a fight between two men on Indy’s east side spilled into the street and 53-year-old Phillip Toombs died after having his throat cut.

Police say all were sparked by simple arguments.

In fact, going back to 2016,to the arrival of Europeans in the area, Mount Garibaldi was referred to by the Squamish people as Nch'kay, meaning "Dirty Place" or "Grimy One" in reference to the muddy water of the Cheekye River. The mountain was an important cultural landmark for the Squamish, and the area around it was reportedly used for the collection of obsidian. Squamish mythology names Nch'kay as the peak to which their people tied canoes to avoid being swept away by the Great Flood.

Another culturally significant peak within the park is The Black Tusk, which was known to the Squamish people as t'ak't'ak mu'yin tl'a in7in'a'xe7en. In their language this means "Landing Place of the Thunderbird", as the peak was said to have been crushed into its present shape by the talons


Original Story: In the first year of VR’s life when I went to a game convention there was a short list of VR experiences I could almost always guarantee we would play. Sports games were obvious choices, as were the wave shooters, and cockpit simulators. In the middle to fill in the rest of the content gaps were an assortment of other random games as a mixed bag of potential. When GDC 2017 rolled around at the start of this year though we started to see the next wave of VR games and what it could look like.

The United States currently detains more protection-seeking families than any nation in the world. Since 2001, parents and their children have been held at various times in five different detention facilities in New Mexico, Texas, and Pennsylvania, as they seek asylum in the United States. The number of detention beds reserved exclusively for families has ballooned since the first facility opened in 2001. Between 2001 and 2016, capacity reserved exclusively for detaining families increased by an astronomical 3,400 percent. Yet, despite this growth in detention, little is known about how these families fare in the immigration court process and what barriers they face in pursuing their asylum claims. This information is particularly important as government officials and policymakers weigh the use and potential expansion of family detention.

been held in five different detention facilities in New Mexico, Texas, and Pennsylvania as they seek asylum in the United States. Yet, despite the sustained presence of family detention, little is known about how detained families fare in the immigration court process and what barriers they face in pursuing their asylum claims. This report presents the results of the first-ever empirical study of the adjudication of immigration court cases of families held in detention.

Now is a particularly crucial time to inform policy with a data-driven analysis. The practice of detaining families has been sharply criticized by academics, practitioners, federal lawmakers, bar associations, immigrant rights advocates, medical experts, and the press. In 2016, an advisory committee of independent experts appointed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to evaluatestudied, the practice of detaining families changed but never disappeared. Between 2001 and 2016 there were five distinct brick-and-mortar family detention facilities in operation at different times in the United States. The names and locations of these facilities, and their dates of operation as family facilities, are displayed in Figure 1.

Figure 1. The Geography of Family Detention in the United States, 2001–2016

Two detention centers used to detain families during our study period—the T. Don Hutto Detention Center (“Hutto”) in Taylor, Texas, and the Artesia Family Residential Center (“Artesia”) in Artesia, New Mexico—were shut down after subjecting families to harsh conditions, including unreasonably cold rooms, substandard food, and inadequate medical care. The other three family detention facilities in the United States—the Berks Family Residential Center (“Berks”) in Leesport, Pennsylvania;


the Karnes County Residential Center (“Karnes”) in Karnes City, Texas; and the South Texas Family Residential Center (“Dilley”) in Dilley, Texas—remained in operation at the end of our study period in 2016.

Over the 15 years of our study, the number of detention beds reserved exclusively for families surged (Figure 2). Family detention capacity shot up temporarily between 2006 and 2009, the years that Hutto operated as a family facility. Family detention space again increased in 2014 when DHS repurposed a federal law enforcement training center in Artesia, New Mexico, as a temporary detention camp to hold families. The most dramatic increase began in 2015 with the opening of Dilley and Karnes. By 2016, family detention centers in the United States had the capacity to hold over 3,500 childrenand parents each day.

Figure 2. Monthly Average Bed Capacity in U.S. Family Detention Facilities, 2001–2016

The rise in family detention has far outpaced the parallel growth in detention for individuals who are not part of family units, including asylum seekers. In 2001, the year family detention began at Berks, overall federal detention capacity was set at 20,000 beds. In 2016, the final year of our study, Congress required federal authorities to keep at least 34,000 detention beds available each day. This represents an increase in general detention capacity of 70 percent. In contrast, as seen in Figure 2, family detention capacity increased during the same time period by an astronomical 3,400 percent.

This tremendous growth in detention capacity imposes significant fiscal costs on the United States. According to federal officials,


the remote location of their imprisonment. All five family detention centers used from 2001 to 2016 were located in small or rural cities, far from the nearest immigration courts, nonprofit organizations, social services, and pro bono attorneys.

Due to the remote location of detention facilities throughout the United States, immigration judges increasingly hear cases over a video connection without ever traveling to the detention center. Analysis of our family detention proceedings reveals that an overwhelming 93 percent of family detention hearings were handled via televideo. The heavy reliance on televideo for an entire group of litigants is concerning, especially given that televideo is associated with reduced engagement by respondents in their court proceedings, including being less likely to find an attorney and less likely to seek relief, when comparedit may not motivate the civil immigration system. The established law provides that in the absence of a showing of flight risk or danger to the community, civil detainees should be released.

The growing detention of families seeking asylum also raises serious issues given legal restrictions on the detention of bona fide asylum seekers. Article 31 of the 1951 Refugee Convention provides that countries may restrict the movement of refugees only when necessary—a standard that does not allow for detention to punish border crossers or to achieve general deterrence of asylum seekers. In addition, Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantees migrants freedom from arbitrary detention.

Central American Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Over time, the proportion of family detainees from the Northern Triangle has skyrocketed, reaching a high of 94 percent of family detainees in 2016. At the same time, the proportion of detained families from other countries has plummeted.

Our research reveals that the increase of Central Americans in family detention cases has far outpaced their presence in non-family detention cases. Figure 12 compares the percent of family detention proceedings associated with the Northern Triangle to non-family detention proceedings over the same time period. Although the proportion of Northern Triangle nationalities in non-family detention proceedings doubled during the relevant time period, it increased by thirteen times in family detention.

Christianity has always had to contend with other worldviews. This is clear even in the New Testament when Jesus faced opposition to his teaching. The situation continues in the book of Acts and beyond, all the way to the book of Revelation. Decades after Christ’s crucifixion, churches still had to contend with difficulties that presented themselves. Revelation 2-3 addresses the seven churches of Asia, all of whom had to contend with their fair share of problems. The three that stand out most clearly still exist today.

Persecution. The early Christians had to endure numerous challenges, one of which was persecution for their faith. At first, the Jewish religious elite, who probably saw the early Christians as an unacceptably sectarian movement were the main culprits.


The New Testament makes it clear that religious leaders provided much of the opposition to the church, even though the first followers of Christ were also Jewish. In time, the Roman authorities stepped in. They seemed to have viewed Christians as being under the same umbrella as many other sects within Judaism (e.g., Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, etc.). Before long, they realized that the Christians were distinctive, and posed a particular threat to Roman peace of mind (and possibly national security). By refusing to honor Caesar or worship the Roman gods, Christians ran the risk of provoking the ire of the gods.

The congregation in Smyrna seems to have had difficulty along these lines. Even though early persecution was local and sporadic, persecution is not a reality for Christians inwhen wearing a full face diving mask, but adapts to inhaling from a regulator's mouthpiece.

On the one side we have a government that has carried out renationalization, which has confronted the greedy foreign-owned energy companies, and presided over a rise in real wages and a fall in unemployment.

Also, this government imposed a bank tax and implemented other measures to help ordinary people – including a government-decreed cut in energy bills.

The international reaction to the Hungarian election result is revealing too.

The Dilemma That is Chael Sonnen

By Michael Barton

A little less than a year ago, Chael Sonnen became a household name through self promotion that took many who follow UFC by surprise.He told stories, made fun of Anderson Silva incessantly, but surprisingly, he backed up his smack talking at UFC 117, taking Silva and dominating him for four and a half rounds before he was caught in a submission and forced to tap out in round five.A star was born, but sadly, this was also the beginning of a truly bizarre series of events that leaves both UFC and Chael in an awkward situation going forward.

While all the buzz post fight was incredible, problems had surfaced well before Chael’s drug samplecame back positive for higher than normal levels of testosterone.For those that may not know, Chael was also a real estate broker at one time, and he was involved as a suspect in a felony money laundering case.He eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years probation and a 10,000 fine, as well as having his license revoked.Prior to his plea, Sonnen went before the California State Athletic Commission on December 2nd, 2010 to defend himself and explain the testosterone issue.The hearing itself lead to some very interesting reasons as to why his test was positive.Sonnen claims he suffers from hypogonadism, a condition which causes low testosterone production, and that he was under a doctor’s care and received shots twice a week to place his levels within


on the cover – a gritty grimace that seems to
come from down deep inside and really inflect his music with a surprising
amount of soul! Dennison's a midwestern bluesman, but has roots in the south –
which really come through on this record – both in the swamp-styled way he
inflects his guitar, and the soulful currents he brings to his vocals – an
approach that's often as unabashed as blue-eyed southerners from the past, like
Tony Joe White or Wayne Cochran. Corey's more blues-based overall, but still
has that wide range we love in both of those artists – and titles are all
originals, and include "She's No Good", "Room To Breathe",
"The Deacon", "Getcha Pull", "Tugboat Blues", and
"Good Enuff". ~ Dusty Groove

YOLANDA RABUN - YOLANDA

Yolanda Rabun's got a great groove
here – a sound that'sright on the money, stone funky throughout, and light
years from any sort of California connotations you may have – no west coast
jazz, smooth AOR, or breezy Bay Area – and much more of the grit and groove
that was brewing up on funky 45s from all points east! Drums are heavy, guitars
are sharp, and vocals are super-righteous – filled with the kind of messages
that you could only get across on the sort of small label releases that make up
most of this set – and which also include a few unreleased tracks appearing
here for the first time ever. As usual with BGP, the package is as superb as
the music – great sound, detailed notes, and a wonderful track selection that
includes "Earthquake" by Rulie Garcia, "Hang Up (part 1)"
by Warm Excursion,


away – and definitely earns the right to be in
the heady company of Crispell and Peacock with his careful sense of sound on
the drums, and his creative ways of shifting their role in the music and place
in the overall texture of the recording. Crispell's beautifully restrained, but
in a way that makes her even more powerful than ever – and Peacock sounds as
wonderful here as on his best records from years back – with a magnificent
sense of moment that seems to balance his playing perfectly. Titles include
"Dichotomy", "Ahzan", "Backseat Of The Galaxy", "Dichotomy",
"Blue Streets Up & Down", and "Lucid Air". ~ Dusty Groove

TOM TALLISTCH – GRATITUDE

Tenorist Tom Tallistch has gotten
plenty of love from our ears in recent years – and with a record as great as
this, he's bound toget plenty more! Tom comes on strong with a really deep
tenor sound – a mode that we might put in a range between Hank Mobley and Eric
Alexander – boldly rhythmic, but also very skilled at personal phrasing – with
solos that fly out effortlessly on top of a crack rhythm combo that features
Jon Davis on piano, Peter Brendler on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums – deeply
exploring the full range of the tenor, but never in a way that calls attention
to its process. Brian Charette joins the group on Hammond for two tracks – but
most of the set is from the quartet, who play mostly originals from Tom –
including "Terrain", "Kindred Spirit", "Refuge",
"Northeast", "Alternate Side", "Oblivion", and
"Rust Belt". ~ Dusty Groove

Whirlwind Recordings has released The New York Standards Quartet
-


Power of 10, celebrating ten years of touring/recording together. Power of 10
is the NYSQ's second recording for the label and the much-anticipated follow up
to The New Straight Ahead. The New York Standards Quartet is: Tim Armacost
(saxophones), David Berkman (piano), Gene Jackson (drums), and Michael Janisch
(double bass, and also the owner of Whirlwind Recordings). "We were
thrilled to team up with the great Michael Janisch for this project. He was a
perfect fit with the group and he brings his unique voice to the music,"
said the NYSQ.

"Bands are like weeds," New
York Standards Quartet pianist David Berkman says, "a lot of the time they
come about accidentally, because of luck and circumstances, without much
pre-planning." In the case of this band that circumstance was a shared
love of, not only jazz, but also Japanese culture.Tim Armacost is a Grammy
nominated saxophonist who has performed with Kenny Barron, Bob Hurst and Ray
Drummond among many others, and is the NYSQ's founder. He has lived in Tokyo
several times and has performed there for years. Gene Jackson, a drumming
powerhouse well known from his nine years with the Herbie Hancock trio, as well
as his performances/recordings with Dave Holland, the Mingus Band and Wayne
Shorter, is married to a Japanese woman and splits his time between New York
and Tokyo. David Berkman, a fiery pianist who is both rooted in the jazz
tradition and a harmonically adventurous improviser and composer, is a
thirty-plus year NYC veteran of many bands including Tom Harrell, The Vanguard
Orchestra and countless others. Berkman, also married to a Japanese woman,
frequently travels to, and performs in, Japan.

Of course, coming together


is one
thing, staying together, is another. What began as a happy coincidence of
three friends, three master musicians, playing together in a foreign land
(documented on Live In Tokyo), has grown into a mature, imposing collective
that has become far more than the sum of its impressive parts. Arguably, the
most cherished moments in the history of recorded jazz have come from bands,
due to the time these groups have had to reach a level of mutual understanding,
respect and affection. It is this way with the New York Standards Quartet, as
evidenced in their four previous acclaimed recordings, and the impassioned
responses from audience across the U.S., U.K., Europe and Japan. "This
band was a weed that hung in there through difficult conditions with a lot of
perseverance in order to flower into the band it ishas chosen the road less travelled. Every time we hit the bandstand
together it is obvious we made the right choice. I look forward to the days
when, through our commitment to this band, we inspire other bands to stay
musically connected, just as the example of the MJQ inspired me."

The mission of the New York Standards
Quartet has always been to interpret standards and traditional jazz tunes in a
way that would allow audiences to connect and be engaged, while at the same
time, playing in the contemporary jazz style the members have developed through
their many decades on the New York jazz scene. While Power of 10 celebrates the
10th anniversary of this band, it also shines a spotlight on the group's
incredible ability to explore music, together. Tim Armacost explains further,
"David was explaining what


and unexpected settings. On Power of 10, songs like
"Deep High Wide Sky" and "Hidden Fondness" are melodies
based on the chord progressions of "How Deep is the Ocean" and a
reharmonized, "Secret Love". In the hands of the NYSQ, his
arrangement of the well worn standard "All of Me" becomes a daring,
harmonically tense vehicle for Armacost's mighty soprano playing and Jackson's
powerful drumming. Armacost's arrangement of "Lush Life" brings a new
perspective to this classic Strayhorn ballad, and his "Green Doll's
Phone" is a playful treatment of "On Green Dolphin Street,"
written to showcase the brilliant technical prowess of bassist Michael Janisch.
Gene Jackson, the band's rhythmic center who drives the music forward with fire
and infectious good spirits, is in fine form (as always) throughout the session
and contributes his brilliant arrangement of Elvin Jones' "Three Card
Molly."

Mentored
bypiano great Dave McKenna, tutored by the legendary Ann Marie Moss and
supported by musical alchemist Allen Toussaint, Marty Elkins is fulfilling
dreams - those of her own, and those of the fans who always knew she was a New
York talent deserving much wider recognition. Her new record, Walkin' By The
River, affirms everyone's belief; it finds Elkins interpreting a host of
American Songbook standards. It is her third release on the German Nagel Heyer
label. "I wanted to gather the songs
that meant the most to me," the vocalist says, "tunes that feel
timeless. My aim was to give them a shiny new coat and offer all a new way of
hearing them."

On Walkin' By The River Elkins
tackles some traditional gems that harken across the decades ("Runnin'
Wild," "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea,"


"Is You
Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby,"), as well as less traveled tunes delivered
with a twist ("Garbage Can Blues," "Down To Steamboat Tennessee,"
I'll Wind."). Throughout, she proves herself a
songbird with heart, endowing these songs with lessons learned from the greats,
from the likes of Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith and Louis Jordan.

"Everything I've ever heard goes
into my singing," Elkins continues,"as if the sound of the classic
singers AND the sound of their records live inside me. I like to draw on that
for inspiration." The evidence can be heard on Walkin'
By The River. It is Exhibit A for her case: the artists who deserve wider
recognition might just get it.

At a time of great political and social uncertainty, the dynamic post-cold
war partnership of the Russian Federation's Oleg Kireyev (tenorsaxophone) and
U.S.’s Keith Javors (piano) continues to inspire jazz audiences around the
globe. The co-leaders recently welcomed jazz trumpet luminary Tom Harrell, the
heralded bassist Ben Williams (Pat Metheny), and the creative drummer E.J.
Strickland (Ravi Coltrane) to the studio for their dynamic upcoming release,
entitled The Meeting, available on May 31, 2016. (iTunes and Google Play
preorder begins May 3.) The new record bridges the influences of two
continents, featuring new original compositions by Kireyev and Javors,
interspersed with standard material. The deluxe physical-only version of the
album includes two additional alternate tracks and liner notes by Howard
Mandel.

A chance
internet meeting would evolve into something spectacular. Kireyev and Javors'
association began in 2007 when Kireyev's manager reached out to Javors through
the Internet with the possibility of a gig at the Union of Composers Club in
Russia, where Kireyev


is Artistic Director. An instant chemistry was noticed
and a friendship forged, one that would inevitably result in numerous American
and European Tours. In addition to performances at numerous world class clubs
such as Smalls, the Iridium, Blues Alley, Chris' Jazz Cafe, and many others,
Kireyev and Javors were together featured at the prestigious International
House of Music in Moscow, one of the premiere concert venues in Europe.

Their
flourishing partnership was first sonically documented on the April 13, 2010
release of Rhyme & Reason, featuring Oleg Kireyev & Keith Javors
alongside bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer E.J. Strickland. The record received
much critical acclaim from major music writers and charted on the JazzWeek
World charts for several consecutive weeks. The tandem’s new effort follows up
on its success with a set that is as equally if not more captivatingand
creative, with model support from Harrell, Williams, and Strickland.

Now on the
advent of their this, their sophomore project together, Oleg Kireyev &
Keith Javors know, now more than ever, the significance of that chance internet
meeting, and it shows in the faces of enthusiastic and involved audience
members. While each day performing together is a meeting of sorts, Kireyev and
Javors now see it as a blessing. Privileged now to draw from the deep talents
of an All-Star NYC rhythm section and a lauded trumpet icon, the tandem
continue to push the jazz envelope and promote unity wherever they play.

Resonance Records with the cooperation of
National Public Radio (NPR) has announced the release of Sarah Vaughan -
Live At Rosy's, New Orleans on March 25th, 2016. The deluxe 2-CD set is
comprised exclusively of newly discovered recordings by "Sassy"
capturing the legendary jazz singer's live performance at Rosy's Jazz Club on
May 31, 1978.

Just after
the release of the album, The U.S. Postal Service will honor Sarah Vaughan's
legacy, by issuing a "Commemorative Forever Stamp". The ceremony will
take place at the Sarah Vaughan Concert Hall at Newark Symphony Hall,1020
Broad Street, Newark, N.J., @ 11:00am, March 29th, 2016.

In February
2011, Resonance producer Zev Feldman connected with Tim Owens, the former
producer of NPR's weekly syndicated radio program, Jazz Alive! Owens mentioned
to Feldman that he had Sarah Vaughan tapes of her stellar live 1978 concert
performances at Rosy's. Having performed together hundreds of times with Sassy
around the world, her rhythm section -- or as she referred to them, "my
trio" -- of pianist Carl Schroeder, bassist Walter Booker and legendary
drummer Jimmy Cobb was an extremely cohesive unit by the time they got to
Rosy's in May of 1978. As the recordings in this set demonstrate, they were
hand-in-glove with each other and with the great Sarah Vaughan.

Over the
course of nearly four years, Feldman took on the role of Indiana Jones in
tracking down all of


the appropriate parties to ensure that this release would
be fully endorsed and cleared by the Sarah Vaughan estate, plus by Walter
Booker's widow Bertha Hope, as well as the living band members Carl Schroeder
and Jimmy Cobb and NPR Music in Washington, D.C. Reflecting on the importance
of this release in his introductory essay from the liner notes, Feldman notes:
"My goal was to tell the whole story of this magical engagement that
fortunately has been preserved for future generations to enjoy. These
recordings celebrate the genius that was Sarah Vaughan. I hope we'll all take
the time to revisit the legacy of this historic and pivotal figure in the
history of jazz. These recordings demonstrate for us why she was much more than
just a singer; she was a true artist."

Sarah
Vaughan, along with Billie Holiday andElla Fitzgerald, was a member of a
triumvirate -- one of the three greatest female jazz singers in jazz history.
She first attracted attention at 18 years of age in 1942, when she appeared at
the Apollo Theater's amateur night, first as a pianist accompanying another
singer and then a few weeks later in her own right as a singer, when she won
the contest. During her weeklong Apollo engagement, which was one of the prizes
she earned for her victory, Billy Eckstine, who was then the featured singer
with the Earl Hines big band, spotted her. Eckstine recommended her to Hines,
who asked her to join his band. Other members of the Hines band were Dizzy
Gillespie and Charlie Parker; it was widely regarded as one of the early
breeding grounds for bebop. The musical ferment of


that grouping of musical
geniuses had an enormous influence on Vaughan.

Vaughan had
an exceptionally broad vocal range; it extended from a coloratura soprano down
to a low alto -- some might even say she sometimes made her way into the
baritone range. Her tone was rich and lush. Vocalist Helen Merrill told Zev
Feldman in his interview with her conducted for this release: "When Sarah
sang, she might just as well have been a trumpet player playing. Her musical
ability, her jazz phrasing ... it was perfect." She was a musicians'
singer, yet despite her extraordinary gifts, she was down to earth; she was
always accepted by the musicians whom she worked with as one of them --
"she was like one of the fellas," says Jimmy Cobb.

When these
live recordings at Rosy's Jazz Club were made in Mayof 1978, Sarah Vaughan was
at her artistic peak (at age 54). That year, a kind of renaissance year for
her, set her on a meteoric course during which she would win an Emmy and a
Grammy and tour the world several times. Each time she released an album,
Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin showcased her proudly on TV. For all the grand
orchestras that backed her, Sarah Vaughan seemed happiest with her trio; they
gave her the space to spread her wings and explore. I get ideas from all three
of them while I'm singing," she said. "We have a ball together, all of
us, and wherever I go to work, they're going with me." In 1978, Vaughan
and her band -- pianist Carl Schroeder, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer
Jimmy Cobb -- performed at Rosy's Jazz


Club in New Orleans.

The
founder/owner of Rosy's, Rosalie Wilson, describes her impetus for opening a
jazz club in New Orleans in the 1970s: "I was puzzled as to why one seldom
experienced these musicians in club settings. Roland Kirk explained this
phenomenon during an interview...citing the continued reticence of many black
artists to play clubs or smaller venues in the South for reasons of safety,
treatment by club owners and the general negative conditions. I knew he was
being truthful and I found this to be perverse, given the fact that New Orleans
had long been anointed the birthplace of jazz. This angered me and provided the
cause this rebel had long been seeking: to create a music club or venue in
which the safety, respect and needs of the musicians were the first priority.
One in which aa child let loose in a
candy store. "She had tremendous harmonic conception," says Carl
Schroeder. "Most singers have none." Her breath control enabled her
to skitter tirelessly over daredevil bebop changes and to sing ballads at a
luxurious crawl. All this came naturally to her. "I don't know what I'm
doin'!" she said. "I just get onstage and sing. I don't think about
how I'm going to do it--it's too complicated."

Journalist
and critic Will Friedwald takes us through Live at Rosy's track-by-track:
Gershwin, as always, is a major staple of Vaughan's repertoire, from her
classic Gershwin double songbook in 1957 to her epic symphonic jazz concerts
(and album) of 25 years later. "The Man I Love" was the Divine One's signature
ballad. As with Fitzgerald, there were some songs and some lyrics that meant to
more to her than


others, and this song always occupied an extra special place
in her heart. You'll often hear Vaughan take a serious ballad and completely
jazz it up (as she does with "April" here), but when she does this
particular song, you can tell she's only thinking about the man she loves.

In 1978,
"Send in the Clowns" was gradually evolving into her climactic,
show-stopping number. The Sondheim song kept getting longer and longer, growing
bigger and bigger as well as slower and slower, and being pushed farther and
farther back in the program. Still, it would be hard to say that Vaughan ever
sang it better than she did in New Orleans: She absolutely nails it, and makes
it clear why, of all the songs and shows that Sondheim has written over almost
60 years, this is easily his mostbeloved piece of music.

When the
request comes through for "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" which was, famously,
her colleague Ella Fitzgerald's first and biggest hit, Vaughan says, with mock
exasperation, "Well, I'll be damned!" Clearly, it was one thing for
Vaughan to make a joke about being mistaken for another singer (earlier she had
joked that she was Carmen McRae), and quite another for someone in the crowd to
confuse her with Ella Fitzgerald. Yet not to be outdone, she takes it a step
further, "[he] thinks I'm Lena Horne, huh?" -- thereby compounding
the joke by dropping the name of yet a third iconic African-American vocal
headliner. "Then I'll tell you who I am when I finish," she declares,
"We got to do this," and then flies into a whole chorus of the 1938
song.

Rahsaan
Roland Kirk (1935-1977) was a one of a kind musician, personality and satirist
who despite being blindand becoming paralyzed - did not relent. He was more
than a blind musician who could play three horns at once. Beyond the ability to
play multiple melodies at the same time, he was a warrior against racial
injustice, fought for people with disabilities and was a tireless campaigner
for a wider appreciation of jazz in America (what he termed Black Classical
Music). Packed with electrifying archival footage of Kirk and his music,
intimate interviews, and inspired animated sequences; Adam Kahan's The Case of
the Three Sided Dream, is an absorbing look at the man who wouldn't even let
partial paralysis keep him from pursuing what he called "The Religion of
Dreams."

The Case of the Three Sided Dream premiered at
the 2014 South by Southwest film festival and also was screened at Full Frame,
Blue Note Jazz Festival, IFC


Center, IDFA, Sound Unseen, Big Sky, Noise Pop,
PAFF LA and Atlanta, MIFF, Raindance and many other festivals, towns, countries
and venues over the past year.

The film was
awarded Best Documentary at the 2015 Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles,
as well as Best Documentary at the 2015 Soundtrack Cologne festival in Cologne,
Germany. It was also named one of the top ten music documentaries of 2014 by
Nonfics.com.

The film
will be released world wide and will be a joint release by Monoduo Films, Vimeo
on Demand, Syndicado and Arthaus. It will be available to stream and download
on Vimeo On Demand May 1, available on iTunes May 31 and on DVD this Fall.
Further screenings are also planned for later this year in New York, LA,
Toronto and Europe.

Additionally
Adam Kahan and the estate of Rahsaan Roland Kirkare laying the groundwork for
a biopic on Kirk and seeking an executive producer.

Adam Kahan
is a filmmaker living in Brooklyn, New York. He started making films in 1989 in
San Francisco, when he bought his first Super 8 camera. His first short film
"Eyeball" played the San Francisco Film Arts Foundation festival in
1992, and multiple other festivals in the states and abroad. Adam works across
multiple genres from documentary to narrative to experimental, and has worn
multiple hats including Director, Producer, Writer and Editor. He has also made
several short documentaries on contemporary artists (such as Andres Serrano,
Fred Tomaselli and Urs Fischer) that have played on national television and in
festivals internationally. The Case of the Three Sided Dream is his first
feature.

As part of
Verve's 60th Anniversary, the storied imprint is set to release the complete
U.S.


Jazz at the Philharmonic performances of celebrated vocalist Ella
Fitzgerald. This classic material, which has previously been released on
various albums, will be released for the first time in one dynamic live set
featuring the original 12-track vinyl LP album cover from 1983. The re-mastered
22-track CD and digital audio collection, with an essay by author Will Friedwald,
features a wide spectrum of A-list musicians including Hank Jones, Herb Ellis,
Ray Brown, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, and more.

Jazz at the
Philharmonic: The Ella Fitzgerald Set was recorded through various performances
between 1949 and 1954, with all original recordings being supervised by the
historic label's founder and Fitzgerald's longtime manager, Norman Granz.
Highlights include jaw-dropping interpretations of "Old Mother
Hubbard," "Oh, Lady Be Good!," "Lullaby of Birdland,"
and the all-star jam session, "Flying Home."

In 1944,
Granz launched the historic Jazz at thePhilharmonic series in Los Angeles,
which would last 40 years. In the formative years of JATP, Granz invited the
vocal icon to join some of the greatest musicians in the world, following in
the JATP tradition of Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, and Helen Humes. It wasn't
until 1953, when JATP was on tour in Japan that Granz talked to Fitzgerald
about managing her career when the singer's contract with Moe Gale at
Associated Booking Corporation ran up at the end of the year. She was hesitant
at first, but after telling her that it was a matter of pride, the two joined
for a historic partnership that lasted more than four decades. With a
soon-to-be-ending contract with Decca, Granz launched Verve and announced
Fitzgerald as their inaugural signing while they continued work on the JATP
series.

The crown
jewel of


Jazz at the Philharmonic: The Ella Fitzgerald Set was the September
1949 performance at the famed Carnegie Hall-the engagement provides more than
45-minutes of music for this historic release. Granz opens that performance and
this release with a special introduction of "the greatest thing in jazz
today," Ella Fitzgerald. Two other introductions of the illustrious vocalist
appear on the box as well-another from Granz, and one from Dizzy Gillespie.

Throughout
three heavy-hitting tracks, Fitzgerald receives support from an all-star JATP
horn section featuring trumpeter Roy Eldridge, trombonist Tommy Turk, and
saxophonists Charlie Parker, Flip Phillips, and Lester Young. "Flying
Home" showcases remarkable scatting from Fitzgerald and features a
Phillips solo. "How High the Moon" shows a new take on the classic
chorus while switching back and forth between horn players, and
"Perdido" hands the reins to the brass players for themelody, with
each player taking a solo while Fitzgerald replaces the published lyrics with
fervent scatting.

Some of the
vocalist's classic tunes appear in this performance as well. She infuses the
1800's nursery rhyme "Old Mother Hubbard" with modern jazz chord
progressions and a number of outside melodies, and also performs her trademark
tune, "A-Tisket, A-Tasket." Fitzgerald visits two soulful ballads as
well, including "A New Shade of Blues" and "Black Coffee,"
a signature tune for Peggy Lee later on.

Having
produced an entire album in homage to Gershwin, it's fitting that the singer
includes two of the venerable pianist's tunes. "Oh, Lady Be Good!"
has a breakneck tempo that also appears on Ella Sings Gershwin, while
"Somebody Loves Me" has a snappy up-tempo that did not appear on her
previous Gershwin record. Fitzgerald also explores recordings from Sir Charles
Thompson ("Robbins Nest"), Duke


Ellington ("I'm Just a Lucky
So-And-So"), and Spencer Williams ("Basin Street Blues").

The rest of
the release comes from two performances, a year apart, at Bushnell Memorial
Hall in Hartford, Connecticut with support from pianist Raymond Tunia,
guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer J.C. Heard. In 1953, Granz
captures two rare songs from Fitzgerald: a moving performance of Jerome Kern's
"Bill," and a blues-heavy version of Peggy Lee's tour-de-force
"Why Don't You Do Right."

The final
five tracks were recorded just a year later. The 1954 performances start off
with Gershwin's songbook-standard "A Foggy Day," and move on to
showcase compelling contemporary hits. By the time she performed "Lullaby
of Birdland" in Hartford, it had already become a success from a recording
made just a few months earlier. A beautiful rendition of "The Man That Got
Away" is a calm anddeliberate recording, while "Hernando's
Hideaway" contrasts as a comedy and dance number from The Pajama Game with
lyrics exclusive to performance (a 1962 recording of this track did not include
this one-time chorus). The set closes with "Later," which elegantly
displays Fitzgerald's seamless blend of R&B, pop, bebop, and swing.

The
remarkable relationship between an American jazz impresario and the First Lady
of Song stands alone as a historically important release and is equally as
crucial to celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Verve. Granz produced many
consequential performances, however the dynamic live recordings heard on Jazz
at the Philharmonic: The Ella Fitzgerald Set are in a league of their own.

Trumpet
player Theo Croker's new album, Escape Velocity, arrives unchecked and
un-filtered. It doesn't attempt to fit a single specific musical category, but
draws upon the first principle of jazz: to merge


and interpret history, styles
and ideas and create a unique sound. Escape Velocity (DDB Records/OKeh), due
May 6th, and featuring his band DVRK FUNK, is Croker's second album since
returning from China where he lived and worked for nearly a decade.

DVRK FUNK
includes Anthony Ware on tenor saxophone and flute, pianist Michael King,
guitarist Ben Eunson, bassist Eric Wheeler and drummer Kassa Overall. Of the
group's name Croker explains: "Darkness has been labeled as a negative
thing but the outer reaches of space are dark. Where life starts is dark. Dark
is an endless possibility, infinite and unknown. That's what we're about."

It is clear
from the opening notes of songs like "Raise Your Vibrations" that
this is Croker's world. The glistening glow of keyboards and cymbals float
around him as he establishes the band's intentions from mission control.
"It's ahave a lot of
turbulence. When I get to a good point in meditation, I feel like I am
traversing through dimensions." Michael King takes advantage of his
opportunity to stride across the piano, digging up a rapid sprint over the
pounding percussion.

"Love
From The Sun" is an homage to and a collaboration with Dee Dee
Bridgewater. The renowned jazz diva, who has served as a mentor to Croker for
nearly a decade, revisits a song which she first recorded in 1974. Here Croker
overlays a live recording he performed with Bridgewater with a new studio performance
from the inimitable vocalist.

The
organ-driven pop of "Changes" is loaded with rhythmic energy and
cosmic textures, a swelling culmination for a telekinetic band. Marching off in
style, DVRK FUNK settles down with "RaHspect (Amen)," a tempered farewell
that pairs Croker with King's responsive piano.

"We're
always


pushing our music as far as we can push it," Croker says of the
album. "We're not changing the game, we are creating a new version of the
game that hopefully is all our own."

For anyone
looking to learn the rules, put your headphones on.

Theo Croker
is a trumpeter, vocalist, composer, and bandleader whose powerful and eclectic
take on modern jazz pays respect to the tradition of the music while moving the
genre forward.

A native of
Leesburg, Florida, Croker is the grandson of the late great jazz trumpeter Doc
Cheatham. Croker began playing trumpet at age 11 after hearing Cheatham play in
New York City, and by his teens was studying music formally at the Douglas
Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville followed by the Music Conservatory at
Oberlin College.

Croker's
musical training has taken him all over the worldincluding Shanghai, China
where he took up residency at the House of Blues and refined his style.
Shanghai is also where Croker met his mentor, Dee Dee Bridgewater, whom he performs
with often.

Escape
Velocity is Croker's second album with OKeh Records. His debut, AfroPhysicist,
was released in 2014.

Bay Area trumpeter
and composer Ian Carey's big, bold new jazz suite, Interview Music, is the
centerpiece of his like-titled new album, due for release by his Kabocha
Records on April 8.

The piece,
which was premiered in 2013 at the California Jazz Conservatory (formerly the
Jazzschool) in Berkeley, is a 45-minute, four-movement adventure and Carey's
longest composition to date. It is a vehicle for both his intricate writing and
the improvisational chops of his group, the Ian Carey Quintet+1, last heard on
2013's acclaimed album Roads & Codes (Kabocha Records), which received
praise from DownBeat


go into the project with a pre-existing concept.
"I write first and figure out what it's about after I hear it," he
says. "If it's about anything!" Happily, the grant committee agreed,
and funded the piece's composition and premiere performance.

The result
is a challenging work which runs the gamut from intricate through-composed
sections to raucous group improvisation. His goals as a composer -- providing
individually tailored solo contexts for each improviser, utilizing the dense
counterpoint favored by his favorite composers, and moving beyond the
melody-solos-melody roadmap of more traditional jazz writing -- show up in
surprising ways, including a passacaglia (a classical form built around a
cycling melodic figure) and a movement in which the horns and rhythm section
each spend most of the time in completely separate tempos (borrowing a trick
from Carey's idol Charles Ives), but the improvisationaltalents of the ensemble
are never far from the forefront. "As complicated as the writing got, I
never wanted to lose sight of the fact that it's a jazz piece," Carey
said. "Improvisation and swing should still be the stars of the
show."

The new CD
closes with Carey's "Big Friday," which the composer calls "a
suite in miniature." It was recorded at the end of the Interview Music
session and "felt appropriately like a 'victory lap.'"

Originally
from upstate New York, Ian Carey, 41, lived in Folsom, California and Reno
before moving to New York City in 1994, where he attended the New School
(studying composition with Bill Kirchner, Henry Martin, and Maria Schneider,
and improvisation with Reggie Workman, Billy Harper, and Andrew Cyrille).
During a productive seven years in New York, he was able to perform with
musicians as varied as


Ravi Coltrane, Ted Curson, Ali Jackson, Marion Brown,
and Eddie Bert, but when an opportunity arose to spend a summer in San
Francisco, he realized he was ready for a break from the Gotham grind.

He soon met
the musicians who would become the core of his quintet, which transformed over
the following twelve years and three albums (2005's Sink/Swim, 2010's
Contextualizin', and Roads & Codes) into a tightly-knit unit dedicated to
tackling Carey's original compositions. In 2012, looking to augment the group's
sonic palette, he expanded the group to the current six members. (He also
recorded a well-received duo date, 2014's Duocracy, with pianist Ben Stolorow.)

"For
me, there is something for everyone in the music," says Carey of Interview
Music. "It works as jazz, with enough red meat for the straight-ahead
crowd. And it's heavily influenced by chamber music,so it can appeal to people
who are into that. Still, I didn't know how it would go over. When we performed
it as part of a chamber series and people responded positively to it -- regular
jazz music fans and chamber music listeners, but also people who just decided
to give it a listen -- I was so gratified."

The Ian
Carey Quintet+1 will be performing Interview Music and more at the Sound Room,
2147 Broadway, Oakland, on Saturday 4/9, 8:00pm.

Vocalist
Jane Monheit had long thought about recording an Ella tribute. Fitzgerald's
beloved songbook albums held "Biblical" importance for her when she
was growing up and have never lost their hold on her.

Those dreams
have come to fruition with Monheit's new album, The Songbook Sessions: Ella
Fitzgerald. It was the perfect maiden project for her new label, Emerald City
Records,


priority was to make Jane comfortable, so all she had to worry about was
showing up and singing," says Payton, who first met her in Brazil about
five years ago and stayed in touch casually. "But on the other hand, I
wanted to make her a little uncomfortable by pushing her into places she might
not push herself. She is so multifaceted. I wanted to showcase a lot of
different things she loves to do on any given night with her band that haven't
necessarily been brought forth on her recordings."

Jane Monheit From the first song, "All
Too Soon," a highlight of Fitzgerald's Duke Ellington Songbook, it's
evident that this album is not going to be your usual Ella salute -- the kind
that plays up the incomparable singer's swinging, scatting, girlish side.
Monheit is all woman here,pouring herself into the lyric with sultry savoir
faire.

"It is
a salute in name only," writes Christopher Loudon in his JazzTimes review.
"Fitzgerald and Monheit are very different singers, their approaches to
the material similarly valid but utterly distinct. Monheit's style is plusher
and denser -- crushed velvet to Fitzgerald's silk. . . . "

As the
arranger of eight of the songs, Payton updated the harmonies and overall feel
of several of the tunes. "I wanted to make them romantic and sexy,"
he says. "We look at love and sex a lot differently today than we did 60
years ago." Longtime band mates, pianist Michael Kanan and bassist Neal Miner,
who each arranged two songs, also made contributions to the fresh arrangements
on the album.

Kanan,
Miner, and drummer Rick Montalbano -- Jane's working trio -- appear on the new
CD, along


with percussionist Daniel Sadownick; harpist Brandee Younger (on two
tracks); and Payton, on trumpet, piano, and organ. "Nick wasn't planning
on playing on the album," says Monheit, "but after we discovered what
strong chemistry we had, it was inevitable that we had to play together. It was
a real honor and a thrill for me."

Jane Monheit
has been on the world stage for nearly half her life, since placing as first
runner-up (behind Teri Thornton) at the 1998 Thelonious Monk Institute's vocal
competition. The Long Island native studied voice at the Manhattan School of
Music, where she met her husband, Rick Montalbano, and graduated with honors in
1999. Her debut album Never Never Land -- featuring Kenny Barron, Ron Carter,
and Lewis Nash -- was released the following year.

Monheit
recorded prolifically for a number of different labels before realizingin the
last couple of years that she needed to take more control of her artistic and
career decisions; hence, the birth of Emerald City Records. "You have no
idea how exhausting it was, bouncing from label to label," she says.
"Everyone wanted to mold me into something else. It became harder and
harder to put trust in people and to be myself."

In Payton,
the vocalist has found a true creative partner. "I felt an instant trust
in him that I had never felt before with any other producer," she says.
The two envision The Songbook Sessions as the first in an ongoing series of
collaborations.

More than 73,000 attended the recent Jazz in the Gardens (JITG) music festival as the City of Miami Gardens celebrated the festival's 11th anniversary on Saturday, March 19 and


Sunday, March 20, at Sun Life Stadium (347 Don Shula Dr, Miami Gardens, FL 33056). Once a festival of roughly 1,800 patrons in a corner of Sun Life Stadium's parking lot, JITG is now the fastest growing jazz and R&B music festival in the nation.

Saturday's lineup showcased locals CriStyle Renae, Ronnie Vop, and April Raquel Kouture Funk, as well as the Jazz in the Gardens All Stars featuring Najee, Alex Bugnon, and Regina Belle; Average White Band; Michael McDonald; Kool & the Gang; and Charlie Wilson. On Sunday, Fred Hammond, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Janelle Monae, Brian Culbertson, and Usher took to the stage. The host for the festival was comedian and nationally-syndicated radio personality Rickey Smiley.

Charlie Wilson

I'm a stickler for sound, and I can honestly say that JITGboasts some of the best outdoor sound systems I have ever heard. Just like Michael McDonald said, "It's the first time I ever had a mayor ask me to crank up the bass," and that they did for sure. The music was superb throughout and all of the performers performed solid sets, from locals CriStyle Renae, Ronnie Vop, and April Raquel, who each had the stage to themselves to shine. They each showed that they have what it takes to take their careers to the next level. The Jazz in the Gardens All Stars featuring Najee, Alex Bugnon, and Regina Belle performed both as a group and individually, and all of the other headliners had the audience up on their feet dancing and singing along to countless hits.


This audience knows the music and they definitely show their love for the artists.

Kool & The Gang

The 11th-annual Jazz in the Gardens was two days of delicious food, fun for all, and incredible live music. More the half of the audience in attendance at the Saturday show were from out of state, which pretty much says that JITG has gone national. Who knows, maybe next year it will be a three-day event.

The City of Miami Gardens was born in 2003 and the then City Council sought to create a signature event for the largest predominantly African-American municipality in Florida, which is also the third largest in the United States. In 2006, the City of Miami Gardens presented the inaugural Jazz in the Gardens, an intimate jazz-only festival featuringAs a character, Snicket is a harried, troubled writer and photographer falsely accused of felonies, and is continuously hunted by the police and his enemies, the fire-starting side of the secret organization Volunteer Fire Department (V.F.D.). As a child, he was kidnapped and inducted as a "neophyte" into V.F.D., where he was trained in rhetoric and sent on seemingly pointless missions, while all connections were severed from his former life, apart from his siblings Jacques and Kit (who were also kidnapped and inducted).

In the organization, he met and fell in love with a peer named Beatrice, whom he never got to marry. He was falsely accused of murder and arson after a series of unfortunate events (after which the real-world series is in some ways named). Eventually, the


fallacies grew so much that The Daily Punctilio reported his death. Beatrice eventually moved on and married Bertrand Baudelaire, becoming the mother of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, the protagonists of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Fourteen years thereafter, Beatrice and Bertrand were supposedly a murdered in a house fire, leaving the Baudelaire children orphaned. Snicket feels indebted to his former fiancée and embarks on a quest to chronicle the lives of the Baudelaire children until they become old enough to face the troubles of the world on their own.

The name Lemony Snicket originally came from research from Handler's first book The Basic Eight. Handler wanted to receive material from organizations that he found "offensive or funny" but did not want to use his real name, so heinvented "Lemony Snicket" as a pseudonym.[1] The name's similarity to Jiminy Cricket was "likely a Freudian slip".[2] Handler described Jiminy Cricket as "exactly the kind of overly moralistic, cheerful narrator who I despise."

Contents

Lemony Snicket came from a family of three children. His brother Jacques (who was murdered in The Vile Village) and sister Kit were also V.F.D. members and friends of the Baudelaire parents. Both Jacques and Kit appear as supporting characters in the Series of Unfortunate Events books. He also knew Count Olaf in his early life, as the two attended school together. In his youth, Lemony Snicket attended a V.F.D.-run boarding school with several other characters from the series. He received later tuition at a V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains and was employed by a


newspaper called The Daily Punctilio after graduation. Snicket was an obituary spell-checker and theater critic.

Lemony Snicket had an ill-fated love affair with the actress Beatrice Baudelaire. Lemony and Beatrice were at one point engaged to be married, but Beatrice broke off the engagement for unclear reasons and returned her ring to Lemony at some point later, along with a two-hundred-page book explaining why the two could not be wed. It is revealed that Lemony Snicket was believed to be dead by the Baudelaire parents, as The End states that, following with the tradition of naming children after someone who has died, Violet was to be named Lemony if she was a boy. Beatrice most probably discovered the truth sometime after marrying Bertrand Baudelaire, as she would presumably haveno reason to send the ring and book to Lemony if she consistently believed his death. As Beatrice was the Baudelaires' mother, she died in the fire that destroyed the Baudelaire mansion. She is not to be confused with another Beatrice Baudelaire, the daughter of Kit Snicket and adopted sister of the Baudelaire orphans. Snicket frequently alludes to Beatrice in his narration and dedicates each Series of Unfortunate Events book to her. Snicket is also known to have been close "friends" with a woman with the first initial "R.", who was the Duchess of Winnipeg.

Lemony Snicket has charged himself with the task of researching and writing the sad story of the Baudelaire orphans for "many personal and legal reasons".[3]

He traces their movements and collects evidence relating to their


adventures, but it is possible that he never met Violet, Klaus or Sunny in person. Many fans often identify him, though, as a taxi driver who appeared briefly in The Penultimate Peril, The Reptile Room and The Wide Window, and who is implied to be in the possession of the sugar bowl, a key plot element of the series, after recovering it from the pond within which it had been hidden.

As the series progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that Snicket knew Baudelaire orphans' parents well through their connections to V.F.D. However, as mentioned in The Hostile Hospital and The End, despite all of Lemony's research and hard work, he still does not know the current location, position or status of the Baudelaire children. Lemony was recruited by V.F.D.as a child, according to the Little Snicket Lad song.[4] In The Beatrice Letters, his niece, the daughter of Kit Snicket, also named Beatrice Baudelaire, mentions that she believes he is a detective of some sort, a reference to his investigations into the case of the Baudelaire children.

Snicket is frequently disparaging of himself; he has described himself as a coward, and at various points in his novels comments that he would not have been as brave as the Baudelaire children had he been in their situation. He also confesses that he has done things that were not noble, most notably the original theft of the sugar bowl from Esmé Squalor. He implied he had a part in the murder of Count Olaf's parents, and that Beatrice was involved


as well.

In the narration of the books, Snicket describes doing many unusual things in his free time, including hiding all traces of his actions, locating new hiding places, considering suspicious dishes, and researching the perilous lives of the Baudelaire children. He claims to often write himself citations for bravery in an attempt to cheer himself up, but these attempts are always in vain.

Handler has also written or contributed to other works under the Lemony Snicket persona that are not related to A Series of Unfortunate Events. He has stated "there's a chance some other matters may take up Mr. Snicket's attention, that he may research and publish, but I'm always wary of making such promises".[9]

Snicket also wrote The Composer Is Dead, a murder mystery designed to introduce youngreaders to the instruments of the orchestra; it was previously produced as an orchestral work by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, with Handler narrating as Snicket, and a recording of the performance is to be included with every copy of the expanded book.[11]

In 2013, Snicket wrote the introduction to the 1989–90 edition of Fantagraphics Books's The Complete Peanuts series. Handler's face is never shown in the A Series of Unfortunate Events books, although in The End, it appears in an illustration, with his eyes obscured by cucumber slices.[citation needed]


Big Brother: Regular series to last 63 days, 14 housemate teasers

The regular series of Big Brother will run for 63 days from when 14 housemates enter the house on Friday night.

Obama Talks With Karzai About U.S. Troops In Afghanistan

U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Friday regarding U.S. troops in Afghanistan in the wake of the killing of 16 Afghan civilians by a U.S. soldier.

The White House said the two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a plan that calls for Afghan forces to take have full responsibility for security across Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

The two leaders also affirmed that they share the goal of building capable Afghan security forces and strengthening Afghan sovereignty so that Afghans are increasingly in charge of their own security in 2013, the White House said.

The conversation also dealt with Karzai's concerns regarding night raids and house searches as well as his concerns about the presence of foreignLet us be the saints of God

The following sermon was preached by Mervin Boas, LSTC student, in Augustana Chapel at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago on Thursday, November 4, 2010.

Luke 6:20-31

Soon after my post graduation in theology, I was appointed as a pastor by my diocese in a small village Church in 2004. 90 percent of the people in that place are Muslims. Normally, the post graduate pastors are appointed to big city parishes only. The diocese explained the reason for my appointment to a small rural parish.

The former pastor built a 1500 square foot foundation to build a parsonage. He could not start construction of the parsonage because the parish consists of only seventy families and most of them are daily workers. If they do


diocese.

After six months, in a general body, the people of the church decided to build the parsonage though I did not tell them anything about the construction of the parsonage. Every evening after their work the parishioners came to me to give me money from their wages. The parsonage was built within a year, miraculously. My diocesan executive committee, ministerial committee and finance committee appreciated me very much. The Bishop was invited to dedicate the newly constructed parsonage one Sunday.

On the morning of the day of dedication I was terribly shocked by reading news in the newspaper. There is a adivasi (aboriginal people of India) colony around 7 miles away from the church. In that colony a three year old boy died because his mom fed him mudthree days continuously. She was not able to give him even a single loaf of bread. She ate mud a couple of days. The boy died. She became unconscious because of not eating food for several days. The news spread. Neighbors got together and she was hospitalized.

It was shocking news for me. I was engaging in building a luxurious house to live in while the boy was dying of hunger. My daughter Anagha was fed by wife Moly forcefully several times a day while the boy was dying of hunger.

I deeply regretted my institutionalized priesthood. I hated my cassock and my institutionalized ministry which does not have enough room for the poor and the needy outside of the church. During the time of the dedication of the parsonage

While the politicians pontificated, Bree Newsome took her place in the annals of nonviolent direct action and lowered the Confederate Flag in front of the South Carolina Statehouse.

A great Sunday out in Gaoqiao

After a week shitty polluted weather at the end of January, we were blessed with beautiful blue skies on our excursion with the Royal Asiatic Society to Gaoqiao, on Sunday, January 27th. Gaoqiao is about 45 - 60 min train ride out of Shanghai towards the mouth of the Yangtze river, north east of the city centre, in what they call Pudong New Area. It’s an ancient town that dates back to the Song Dynasty. (11 hundreds to 12 hundreds something). The main street is along the river and is studded with shops of all sorts, street food and amazing old architecture and beautiful Chinese courtyard houses and buildings.

Street food! The best!

The best ‘mcmuffin’ ever. A batter is poured


Wood is a common material used to construct doors and other architectural building elements. Even today, after the development of several new species of composite materials, wood remains one of the most widely-used structural materials because of its excellent strength and stiffness, pleasing aesthetics, good insulation properties and easy workability.
However, in recent years the cost of solid timber wood has increased dramatically as its supply shrinks due to the gradual depletion of old-growth and virgin forests. It is particularly expensive to manufacture doors from such material because typically less than half of harvested timber wood is converted to natural solid wood lumber, the remainder being discarded as scrap.
Accordingly, because of both the cost of high-grade timber wood as well as a heightened emphasis on conserving natural resources, wood-basedPhotography showing 58 - year - old Ki Suk Han trying to climb somehow off the rails in the metro station in New York, has shocked the world.

He has been sweating profusely under the scorching sun for the past three months in Gothuruthu to see his dream come true. Anto George, an artist from Thrissur is busy sculpting the statue of ‘Chinnathampi Annavi, the proponent of Chavittunatakam in Kerala.

He has taken up a huge responsibility as it is for the first time that a face is being given to the legend. “It can be regarded as a historical monument. A 11-foot-tall statue of an exponent of Chavittunatakam is being built for the first time. My responsibility is to give him a face,” he says. It was his association with the organisers of Kochi-Muziris Biennale Foundation that gave him the golden opportunity to pursue his dream.

A total of 207 participants completed the pre-conference questions.

Prospective participants were recruited via a series of email communications sent to members of APSHO describing the SMARTIE program. Interested members proceeded to a link for registration, which included basic demographic information and a signed agreement for participation. Members felt to be engaged in organization activities, including APSHO committee members, JADPRO Editorial Board members, and those who had attended at least two JADPRO Live conferences, were targeted in the first round of emails. If those individuals had not registered after at least four emails, they received a follow-up phone call from the JADPRO Editorial Director.

Hamas is desperate to end the state of isolation it has been in since the movement came to power in 2006. It feels there is a good chance that the Obama administration, through its conciliatory approach toward radical Muslims and Arabs, would assist it in winning recognition and legitimacy in the international arena. So far, the messages that Hamas has been receiving from Washington – through the Egyptians, Saudis and Qataris – are, as far as Mashaal and Haniyeh are concerned, very positive and encouraging.

Amid ongoing questions about the involvement of his associates with Russian officials during the campaign and about the impartiality of the Republican congressman leading one of the probes into the matter, Donald Trump went on a twitter rant Monday night, calling out an old foe -- the Clintons -- and blaming conservative Republicans for his health care defeat.

In a series of tweets, Trump questioned the actions of the House Intelligence Committee, asking why it isn't conducting a probe into the former Democratic presidential nominee and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

"Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech money to Bill, the Hillary Russian "reset," praise of Russia by Hillary, or Podesta RussianCompany. Trump Russia story is a hoax. #MAGA!" wrote Trump in two consecutive posts.

The tweets were not the first instance in which Trump sought to blame Hillary Clinton for a deal between Russia's nuclear power agency and a Canadian company. The non-partisan fact-checking organization Politifact has rated the claim "Mostly False," citing Hillary Clinton's "lack of power to approve or reject the deal."

Investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election are being conducted in both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. The FBI is also investigating any potential ties between Russian officials and Trump associates, a story line Trump has called "fake news."

House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who worked on Trump's transition team, is under fire for briefing the president on findings that left Trump


feeling "somewhat" vindicated before mentioning that information to the committee. There were also calls for Nunes to step aside from the Russia investigation after it emerged that he met a source on the White House grounds a day before briefing Trump.

In a later tweet, Trump criticized the conservative House Freedom Caucus for its efforts preventing the passage of the American Health Care Act last week, his first major legislative test.

"The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. After so many bad years they were ready for a win!" wrote Trump, running counter to his declaration Friday that he would not "speak badly about anybody within the party" and his claim that he preferred for the Affordable Care Act to remain lawJan. 14, 2013

Two dead bodies lie on a street in the Saif al-Dawlah neighborhood of Aleppo, Syria, Sunday. / Andoni Lubaki

BEIRUT (AP) - Attacks by government forces on Damascus' rebellious suburbs killed at least 45 people, including eight children, activists said Monday. Sunday's death toll was part of an intensifying regime offensive to dislodge rebels from strategic areas around the capital.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that 24 of the dead, including all eight children, were killed by government air and artillery strikes in the eastern Ghouta district on Sunday. The rest of the casualties were in towns and villages outside the capital, the Observatory said, and included 13 rebels killed in clashes.

Activists said the bombardments were some of the heaviest in the


Damascus region since the government launched a series of offensives there in November.

On Monday, Syrian fighter jets carried out fresh airstrikes on the strategic suburb of Daraya, from which opposition fighters have tried to storm Damascus, the seat of Assad's power.

Daraya is close to a number of strategic facilities. The suburb is flanked by the key districts of Mazzeh, home to a military air base, and Kfar Sousseh, where the government headquarters, the General Security intelligence agency head office and the Interior Ministry are located. Last week, the government said it has regained control over more than half of the suburb.

The regime's current push in Damascus comes a week after Assad dismissed international calls to relinquish power and vowed to continue fighting rebels, whom he characterized as Islamicextremists out to destroy Syria.

The speech was condemned by the U.S. and its Western and Gulf Arab allies, while Assad's backers in Russia and Iran said his proposal should be considered.

Syria's opposition rejected the proposal.

Those fighting to topple the regime, including rebels on the ground, have repeatedly said they will accept nothing less than the president's departure, dismissing any kind of settlement that leaves him in the picture.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized Western demands that Assad steps down. While acknowledging that the initiatives to talk to the opposition, "probably don't go far enough," Lavrov called on the opposition to come up with their plan to end the bloodshed.

"President Assad put forth initiatives which are aimed at inviting all opposition members to a dialogue," Lavrov said Sunday during
