Tell us about yourself. Who are you and what do you do? I am a parent of a recent graduate from BHS class of 2012. I am a visual and performing artist. I am a teaching artist.
How did you find out about this process? I am on the acoe mailing list. I attended the first mapping event. I enjoyed seeing the momentum and the structure that was in place to organize the comments and ideas being solicited. I am interested in learning the ways people and ideas can make connections with hopes that it will result in forward momentum.
What inspired you to get engaged? I am always thinking about how things work or… don't work. I am ready to advocate for dramatic improvements in the current state of education.
What do you think of the conversations? I like seeing conversations being reported from meetings attended by the… 'deciders' for lack of a better term. This transparency is important to see.
How would you answer the framing question: How can we collectively transform public education through the arts to create a better future for everyone? Invite the opinions from many different vantage points. Conduct interviews. Build an archive of individual stories to know who the community is. Utilize teaching artists as a catalyst, as documentarians, as interviewers.

Hailing from the Chicago area a Bay Area implant since the early 80's teaching artist Susan Wolf has worked at various East Bay school sites through Kala Art Institute's artists-in-schools program. As an Arts Coach at Jefferson Elementary School, Ms. Wolf matches her interest in process with her curiosity for what it means to understand. Her growing familiarity with digital media tools supports the value of making learning visible while engaging with a community of teachers interested in the practice of integrating arts.
As a performing artist her work explores the membrane of and the dialogue between her public and private personas. Wearing a mask or costumes of concealment her performances document her curious perspective of being there while being elsewhere.
As a visual artist her work makes connections with curious archaic texts and original artifacts connected to disciplines and inherent systems of biology, mathematics and mapmaking to inform a more personal re-contextualization of forms using printmaking, collage and mixed media techniques.
Wherever Curiosity Leads and Creativity Follows — by Mary Stone Hanley, George Mason UniversityPosted: July 9, 2012 Filed under: Mapping 1 Comment
There are many wonderful things that work in the education of young people today, however the most deeply positive work can be found wherever curiosity leads and creativity follows. We are born curious; we want to know; from infancy we touch, taste, reach for, wonder; and then we try to make something of it, shape it. In so doing we more throughly can understand it and transform it. Cell phones, automobles, noodles, and rubber ducks, the Sistine Chapel, and hip hop lyrics are all a result of human curiosity and creativy. Wherever that spark is allowed to enter the classroom wonderful things happen. I have seen the children involved and experienced the joy, excitement, and pride of accomplishment when they learn they are capable of answering the questions they wonder about after a process of discovery and interpretation.
The arts tap into our need to understand and to create, to change the world in so many ways–intimate and social, tiny and enormous. The artist, whether wondering dabbler, serious student, or professional is engaged in perception, conceptualization, expression, and transformation of self, culture, and medium, all of which are at the core of making meaning of the world. Because the struggle of transformation and expression is so personal the work becomes relevant and ownership increases. One can see the impact on young people involved in arts-based work in the way they focus and participate. It's a wonderful thing we must acknowledge, educate people about, and demand room in the curriculum for.
Dr. Mary Stone Hanley, Professor, Initiative for Transformative Education, George Mason University, has been an educator in public schools and higher education for more than 35 years. She is a playwright, screenwriter, and poet. In Cultural Responsiveness, Racial Identity and Academic Success: A Review of Literature In (prepared for the Heinz Endowments, June 2009) she highlights the necessity to employ the arts as a means to racial uplift and building on student cultural assets.

Another excellent piece by Glasnost.
Glasnost (and a Pair of strikers)
As Ally McCoist today defends himself against a charge of 'bringing the game into disrepute', for challenging the independence of the Disciplinary Tribunal and the 'anonymity' of its members, we ask: to what extent is he right?

Me and Sergio, my neighbor were planning to do a trekking together. So we decided to walk to the nearby mountains we see every day from our place. He told me that he already has been there before and that he loves the route, so it wouldn't bother him to walk it a second time. He also told me that it is pretty long … I remember him saying something about 15km (this already sounded a lot to me!) … So the big day for our adventure has come and we took a healthy, powerful breakfast, drank tea, like always (Sergio is a tea addict – and he took me also to the dark side of black tea :))) ), put our trekking shoes on, prepared some food and water for the hike and started our walk, our friend Valentin joined our trip.
We began our walk at 11:30 from sea level to the next town Adeje. 4,5km later we arrived there. From there the interesting part began! Wonderful trekking road, getting more and more silent as deeper as we walked away from the city. This first part was a very rough one, as the sun was shining down on us, the road being very cliffy … ufff! Sweating a lot and drinking almost my whole water only in this first part haha. I thought the whole hike will be like that and I started to think the guys are crazy (it's nothing new anyway that this guys, especially Vale, are crazy, haha) and that I won't be able to do it … after asking couple of times "Guys, but how many kilometers do we REALLY have to walk? And how many hours? And when will we arrive? I need a break, I'm melting …" At first I really thought "Fuuuck, maybe it's too much for me …
They were trying to explain me that this is the first and hardest part, that we have to get to the top and there we will take a break with breathtaking view, after that we have the second part ahead of us with another break and after this second break we will continue with the third part and then we'll finally arrive in Arona, the end of our walk. For me this sounded crazy as fuck, as I imagined the whole road to be cliffy and hard like in the beginning!
But the guys were right! After this hard part, with a lot of sweating and for me almost no talking, because I had to concentrate not to die (the guys were singing almost all the way up some Russian Hippie songs), hahah. The landscape was pretty dry with a lot of cactus, stones, small flowers and after a while we encountered the first pine tree .. growing alone in the middle of the desert-like scene.
As we arrived on the top (after aprox. 2,5 hours) where this marvelous view was waiting for us:
After a little break for a meal and resting we continued the second part. The landscape began to change … more and more trees grew among the road and it got greener and greener.
The smell began to change – clean, fresh air and the smell of pine trees, fresh gras, sweet flowers accompanied our walk through this part. I was so caught by all this beautiful impressions that I forgot to walk further at some points … just standing still in the middle of this enchanting surrounding …
At this point – exactly over the "Barranco del Infierno" (we walked around it), we took our second break for resting. Eating some cookies and drinking a self made energy drink for the last part of the walk. We were standing up there and shouting out (the guys some strange Russian words and me making confused sounds :))) ) – crazy echo this mountains reflect!
I was just so amazed about all this, standing there in the middle of this huge stone mountains, giant trees growing on them, the sound of the wind whispering through the canyon, the beautiful sounds the birds were singing and despite all this sounds combined, the total silence there is. It really felt like a therapy for the soul! At some point I forgot that I am walking and that everything hurts, it felt like a state of deep meditation, everything seemed so easy and all that mattered was the present moment – well, the now is always what matters, but this reminded me how powerful the present moment is! Remind yourself to take yourself back into the present moment, if it happens that you are trapped somewhere in the past or future!
I recognized how much I missed the forest and the trees. The very deep connection I have with trees and their energy …
We kept walking and walking and walking … discovering huge caves, mysterious circles, empty houses and beautiful birds. It seemed like this hike will never end … after 6 hours of walking, no wonder! Slowly we hoped to get close to the town of Arona, where we can take the bus home … after 3 more hours of hiking we finally reached it!!! Hurraaa … "oh, but wait where is the bus station?" .. After arriving there we realized we missed the last bus that was at 20:00! Sitting in the station completely done, with pain in our legs and butts :))) … we had to hitchhike back. We were very lucky that after only 10 minutes of waiting (in a place where almost no cars drove), a very nice and crazy girl took us almost close to Caleta. But we still had to walk 3km to there … but after 25km, 3 more didn't matter anymore 😉
After arriving home I had to go to the Golf Club to shower and take water … so my walk was not over! It was the last thing I wanted to do after this crazy hike but it had to be … After that was done I jumped onto my new mattress (thank you Alma 😉 ) and had so strong pain in my feet and hips that I barely was able to fall asleep … Today (the morning after) I walk like my grand grandmother :)))
But it was definitely a beautiful road to walk and it showed me once more that anything is possible if you don't limit yourself and just focus on the good parts 🙂

Follow us
Jagged mountains rising above stunning lakes, sub-zero temperatures and a unique quality of light: the hunt for the Northern Lights is on. Joe Rainbow visited the Lofoten Islands in Norway and has a spectacular tale to tell.
I first met up with Antony Spencer, Peter Spencer and Andy Farrer at Land's End in Cornwall in January, 2010, for a shoot on the cliffs. Tony asked me if I fancied a trip to Norway to see the Aurora in October. Yes, was the immediate answer, although slightly surprised by the invitation since I did not know him or the others at all, except for exchanged comments on-line about landscape pictures.
Having met up with the rest of our group in the form of Hamish Roots and Gary Newman, five of us flew at night into Tromso in the Arctic Circle. We saw our first glimpse of the Aurora through the windows of the plane; in fact, we were invited into the cockpit to witness the spectacle, which was a great taste of what...

- More about Le Creuset
The first Le Creuset foundry opened in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, and specialized in cast-iron cookware. The cast-iron pieces are still made at the original factory, using the traditional techniques of hand forging and casting in individual sand molds. The brightly pigmented porcelain-enamel glaze that first set Le Creuset cookware apart from other cast-iron cookware now comes in a wide range of traditional and contemporary colors. In 2013, Le Creuset began producing innovative stainless-steel cookware in Portugal with lids that incorporate the same signature three-ring design as the company's classic cast-iron pieces. This stainless-steel collection was awarded the prestigious 2014 Red Dot Award for product design.
In 2019, Le Creuset has increased the Stoneware warranty from 5 years to 10 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tommy from People will want one when they see yours I bought my wife the matte white. She cooks all kinds of wonderful meals with this. She even makes awesome bread in it. Don't think about it, be about it. You won't regret it.Date published: 2017-11-11Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandina from The Bentley of cookware Cooking in this dutch oven is what I imagine it feels like when someone going through a midlife crisis finally convinces their significant other to buy that groupon so they can test drive a Formula One car. Like slicing through butter with a hot knife only the knife is sexier and the butter is calorie free. My husband calls this the "Bentley of cookware". It was also surprisingly easy to clean. The best piece I've added to my collection and worth every penny.Date published: 2016-03-30Rated 5 out of 5 by Marksy from Best dutch oven ever This has become my absolutely, hands-down, most favorite pot. Whether it's a cozy family meal, or a fancy dish for a dinner party, it never lets me down. I simply love the way the material cooks meats, stews vegetables, crisps rice - it is glorious. I've made many complex dishes with this. The heavy weight of the lid means fantastic seal with very little spills. It moves from stove top to oven and back again perfectly. Don't know what I'd do without it!Date published: 2015-02-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Cookinglab from A Must Have I love this dutch oven, love the white finish and brushed nickel handle. We love how it cooks the food evenly each time we use it. Highly recommend it for your kitchen.Date published: 2015-02-01

The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link project that connects Sewri and Nhava port in Mumbai, is likely to get a boost as the World Bank has shown keen interest in funding the said project.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, which is implementing the project, said that it was in talks with the World Bank for funding the project.
"The World Bank has been funding our few projects.
"They have now shown interest in funding our ambitious MTHL project," MMRDA commissioner Rahul Asthana said in Mumbai.
The 22-km, about Rs 8,300-crore (Rs 83-billion) MTHL, will be a six-lane road bridge with provisions for two lanes for a Metro line.
The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation was handling the project initially, but it was later handed over to the MMRDA.
The World Bank had earlier tied up with the MMRDA to fund the Mumbai Urban Transport Project.
"MMRDA is also in talks with the World Bank for its metro rail projects," another official said.
The authority is also in talks with Japan Bank for International Cooperation for providing soft loans for its other projects, including the metro rail project, the official said.
In August, the MMRDA had appointed a consortium of Arup Consulting Engineers and KPMG to conduct a techno-economic feasibility study of the MTHL.
The consortium is expected to submit the report by October next year.


text: Thank you my friends, for your patience in reading my blog. I am sure it is very hard to read all these trials. I'm sure some have chosen not to visit my blog anymore because it isn't all sunshine and roses...but there are some of you with huge hearts and lots of faith that gives you the strength to stick with me. It's so very frustrating to LIVE through these things, so I'm sure it must be tiring and frustrating to READ about all these things. I have gotten a few comments saying that there is no way all these things could happen to one person. Well, I wouldn't believe it either if I were not living it. I hope to be more positive soon, when I'm not completely overwhelmed and worn down with pain. My blog followers have made my life so much richer. Thanks again.

Kristin Cavallari Reveals Perfect Post-Baby Body Two Months After Birth
What baby weight? The former 'Laguna Beach' star and fiance Jay Cutler welcomed baby Camden Jack just two months ago, and she's already showing off her superfit figure! Find out how she got back in shape.
You wouldn't know it by looking at her now, but Kristin Cavallari gave birth to her first baby, Camden Jack Cutler, on Aug. 8. Less than two months later, she slipped into a tight black cocktail dress for the ULTA Beauty's Donate with a Kiss event for breast cancer research in New York City.
Kristin, who is engaged to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, hosted the event and made a stunning red carpet return.
But her post-baby body didn't come easy. The reality star has been working out several hours a day, and even took to Twitter to share her success.
"Walking uphill on this treadmill to work out this booty. Bye Bye baby weight." she tweeted on Sept. 13.
HollywoodLife.com talked to celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson on Oct 2, and she revealed some expert tips to getting back in shape after baby.
"Attack [the weight] with cardio, make healthy choices, and consume proper fats so the [breast] milk is healthy," she said. She recommends 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training. And to get your abs back in shape, she is not a fan of old-fashioned crunches.
"To get the prettiest abs, you aren't laying on the ground just doing crunches. Instead of having your feet on the ground and knees up, it works from the bottom of the hips up," she said.
How do YOU think Kristin looks HollyMoms?

The entertainment industry has always been trying to find people that possess that elusive X factor. There have been countless television reality shows about it. The one thing that everyone forgets, though, is that you can't manufacture star power. It's a combination of many things that are honestly pretty intangible. A wonderful example of this is local singer/songwriter Camille Brown. Camille and her band Gentle Mind haven't been performing for very long in Vancouver but they are already turning heads.

It's been nearly a year since Bishop Briggs took the stage for her first television performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "River," her breakout single, had been circulating since early 2016, and when the British-born artist sung it during the late night slot she proved those vocals heard on the recording were just as piercing live.
"Some of the best pieces of works are the ones made through extremely challenging times." Bret Constantino, lead vocalist for San Francisco-based Sleepy Sun, is recalling the process of recording the band's fifth and newly released album, Private Tales. "The record was frustrating in many ways but our persistence paid off," he says on the phone from his home in the Bay Area.
There's not too much info out there on Wolf Parade's new album just yet, but the mostly B.C.-based indie rock pack's first full-length in seven years is nearly complete by the time ION reaches drummer Arlen Thompson at home in Nanaimo. He'd been out tracking at Seattle's Robert Lang Studios earlier in the week, and judging by the band's Insta pic of a well-placed microphone, a pair of bongos, and an exquisitely crusty, spiritually attuning amethyst, the sessions have been epic.
Despite appearing in the new Beaches remake as a nightclub pianist playing behind Frozen-favourite Idina Menzel, Louise Burns isn't racking up any credit for her acting skills on IMDB. That's even more tragic once you factor in another current onscreen role, fending off flying ghost sharks and snipping off her own five-foot tongue in a music video for "Storms," the first single from her Young Mopes LP.
About an hour ahead of ION's phone call with Cate Le Bon, the artist unveiled a video for "Rock Pool," the title track from her soon-to-be-released new EP for Drag City. Saturated in reality-distorting washes of Technicolor aquamarine and magenta, the short film finds Le Bon exploring the sand and pebble beachscape of Wales' Southerndown beach while wearing a towering, construction paper top hat.
Elias Rønnenfelt's latest Marching Church album is like a dark, meandering winter's dream. The sound is a lot more cohesive than his previous two albums but still true to Rønnenfelt's abstract sound composition. Marching Church was originally a solo project, but now he has ramped up the production with a full-out backing band, that serves to enhance his dramatic vocals even further.
In your latest album "Telling it Like is" you have a more dark unified sound, why did you decide to head in this direction for your latest album?
There's no hyperbole to the title of Beach Slang's second album, A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings. The band itself is comprised of guys well out of their adolescent times, frontman James Alex himself already into his 40s, but the in-song emotions pushed to the red between washes of punk distortion and pop melody are equivalent to the raw, fresh feelings coursing through the young at heart.
Barry Gibb is an icon. Not only is he one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed songwriters of all time, but with his brothers, Robin and Maurice in the Bee Gees, he came to define the music of an entire generation. Here we are just over 13 years after the band hung up their polyester jumpsuits, following the passing of Maurice in 2003 and Robin in 2012, with Barry getting ready to release his first solo album of new material, In The Now.
Chicago reissue imprint the Numero Group is generally known for highlighting the unknown, whether its repurposing dusty R&B reels found at Florida estate sales for its Eccentric Soul series or injecting proto-metal DNA into their Grammy-nominated Cities of Darkscorch release.

When a vessel is in use, the vessel's registration card must be onboard. If you are stopped by Fish & Wildlife Natural Resources Police and you do not have a valid registration card onboard, a ticket may be issued. It is the responsibility of the vessel's operator (not the owner) to be sure the vessel is registered, has all required safety equipment, and that it is being operated in a safe manner.
Frequently Asked Questions on Boat Registrations
Question: Do I have to register my vessel? Answer: Delaware law requires the registration of all motorboats, including those powered by electric motors.
Q. What is meant by the "State of Principal Use?" A. Your vessel must be registered in its "State of Principal Use." "State of Principal Use" means a state on whose waters a vessel is used or to be used most during a calendar year. Delaware regulations state that if the vessel is to be used, docked, or stowed on the waters of this State for over 60 consecutive days, Delaware is its "State of Principal Use."
Q. Why should I register my vessel? A. Registration numbers provide identification for the return of stolen or found boats. Registration also helps locating persons involved in boating accidents, identifying vessels requesting assistance, and helps identify vessels violating the law. Registration fees are used to fund resource protection, educational programs, access areas and their maintenance, and fund safety patrols.
Q. Where can I register a vessel? A. Your vessel may be registered by completing a Boat registration application and returning it by mail to Division of Fish and Wildlife Office of Boat Registration 89 Kings Highway Dover, DE 19901. You may visit one of these private boating license agent locations. You may also visit the Fish & Wildlife licensing office at the address above.
• If you are renewing an existing registration or requesting an address change you may do so online at Delaware eGov.
Q. What forms do I need? A. A Boat registration application must be completed. If the boat is titled in another state the original title must be submitted and will be kept. If the boat comes from a registering state then the registration is required with a notarized bill of sale. If the boat is new, the manufacturer's original certificate of origin (MCO) must be submitted. All paperwork must include the vessel hull identification number. If the boat is currently registered in Delaware, the old registration card is required with a notarized Bill of Sale including a description of the boat. A notarized bill of sale is not needed if both buyer and seller appear in person with picture IDs.
Q.What must I have to use a public boat ramp?A. If your boat is currently registered in Delaware you DO NOT need to purchase a boat ramp certificate and have access to Division of Fish and Wildlife maintained boat ramps. If your boat is registered out of state you must purchase a boat ramp certificate. You may do so by completing this form boat ramp certificate form and bringing it to any of the offices listed at boat ramp agents.You may also purchase a boat ramp certificate online at Delaware eGov.
Homemade Boats: (Initial Registration Only) Must be registered at the Dover Office. Copies of invoices for materials, builder's notarized statement with description and a picture of the vessel, and witness notarized statement regarding builder and description of vessel must be provided.
Deceased Owner: A copy of the Death Certificate, short form of the will stating the administrator, and if sold, a notarized bill of sale from the estate is needed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Census Bureau says the number of Americans in poverty stood at 15 percent in 2011 as the number of poor remained at record highs.
About 46.2 million people, or nearly 1 in 6, were in poverty.
The figures were better than the expectations of analysts who had predicted an increase due to persistently high unemployment.
The number in poverty in 2010 was 15.1 percent.
The unemployment rate improved modestly in 2011, but wage growth was weak.
University of Michigan economist Sheldon Danziger calls the poverty figures surprising and a sign that expiring unemployment benefits were able to help workers for much of the year.
The median — or midpoint — household income was $50,054. That's a 1.5 percent decline from 2010.

Many point to the fact that some of these are paid higher than the Prime Minister and that pay for those in high positions at the Council should be reduced given the cuts that the Council has to make. I personally agree with this.
However, when people have signed contracts this is difficult to achieve. To make such changes, the Council would face legal costs which would end up costing the Council more.
Nonetheless, Brent Labour has made sure that newly appointed Director's pay is more fairer. In addition, there is now a female Director in the Education brief which is one of the highest at the Council – thereby dampening the male dominance in the top roles at the Council.

Starbucks supports Send a Cow's Ikawa n'Inka project in Rwanda.
Starbucks EMEA are committed supporters of Send a Cow's work in Rwanda. In 2017, in partnership with Starbucks EMEA, we launched our 3 year Ikawa N'Inka ('Coffee & Cows') project in Nyaruguru district, Rwanda to help over 14,100 smallholder coffee farmers. Starbucks baristas around the world have joined the effort and fundraised an amazing £80,000 to support the project. Now thanks to a new grant from The Starbucks Foundation, we have been able to expand the reach of the project across Nyanza and Bugesera districts, to empower 15,400 people in these coffee growing communities with the knowledge and skills to live healthily and sustainably from the land.
This project will work with these communities to help them identify and value the resources they already have: their land, their communities, and their own capacities. Send a Cow will provide vital training in farming, gender and social development, enterprise and health and hygiene to bring increased farm production, improved sanitation and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods. Alongside this package of training and support, families will also receive resources such as seeds and cows.
Thanks to Starbucks commitment to this project, farmers in one of Rwanda's poorest regions will be able to feed their families and escape poverty for good. If you would like to join Starbucks staff and customers in donating to this project please do so below or contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com.

A few days ago I watched a video that has become quite a hot topic in the ag world over the last few week. Radio, blogs, and newspapers have all highlighted the cruelty the video has shown.
The one thing most of them have in common is they are all asking the question "Why didn't the Mercy for Animals investigator video taping this abuse stop the act from even occurring?"
Which is worse- watching it happen or having the ability to do something and not?
To sum it up..
A Mercy For Animals investigator goes under cover and video tapes the abuse that is occurring on a large farm in Texas. At the end of the video they encourage viewers to become vegetarian.
This video is one of the worst videos I have seen in regards to animal cruelty and what happened in itself is a terrible thing.
Let's be honest, any abuse to any living thing is wrong and is a complete disregard for life.
At our farm our animals get taken care of long before we do. We get up in the middle of the night to check our calves in order to ensure they are safe and comfortable. We monitor their diets to make sure they are getting exactly what they need from their mothers and when they're not we spend time with bottles.
After watching this video, I of course tried to make an immediate comment on Youtube.
I stressed that this is a horrible, cruel act that occurred, but there are thousands of farmers who do not do these things to their animals. I asked viewers to please not define all farmers by this one awful event. And the real question I want answered is why didn't the person taping this video stop the abuse as soon as it started?
I hit post after typing out a well thought out response, and it comes back that it needs to be approved.
Well, it has officially been 48 hours and they have yet to post my response.

Lecture / Discussion | Don't Touch that Dial: Great Moments In Local Broadcasting
Saturday, October 6, 2012, 2–4 pm
Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Auditorium
Inspired by Spain's book Cruisin' wth the Hound, the Burchfield Penney presents a screening of Don't Touch That Dial: Great Moments in Local Broadcasting.
The program begins with an introduction to music of the 1950s with Chuck Mancuso, professor of music at Buffalo State College. A panel discussion follows the screening, moderated by Al Wallack and including Joey Reynolds, Danny Neaverth and Kevin O'Connell.
Don't Touch that Dial: Great Moments In Local Broadcasting is a production of WNED Buffalo-Toronto in association with Buffalo Broadcasters Association and tells the story of broadcasting in Western New York. The production is narrated and co-produced by long-time Buffalo radio personality Al Wallack.
Al Wallack started his radio career while attending Buffalo State College and played a part in establishing the radio station on campus. While attending school, he landed a job at WKBW (1969) and has not held a job outside of broadcasting since.
Al Wallack began his career at WEBR/Buffalo as all-night man in 1972. Al moved to mid-days and the position of production director shortly thereafter. When the station was sold to WNYPBA, Al stayed on to found JAZZ IN THE NIGHTTIME, a popular show which he hosted for the next 20 years. When the format of the station changed and jazz was discontinued, Al became Operations Director for WNED-AM and FM.Most recently serving as Program Director for WNED-AM for 12 years. For over 15 years he was heard as the on-air voice of WNED-TV/Buffalo and WNED Radio. Al also serves as board member of the Buffalo Broadcasters Association, a group of 200 broadcasters organized for the purpose of archiving Buffalo's rich broadcast history and recognizing broadcasters' achievements.
This program is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition Spain: Rock, Roll, Rumbles, Rebels, & Revolution, specifically dealing with Spain's book Cruisin' With the Hound and George "Hound Dog" Lorenz.
